As for those whose lives are already rooted in Catholic CNS photo/ tradition, the service of the clergy takes on a different role. This role is simply expressed in John 13:10: “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over.” Thus, to those who have already been baptized into the Church, priests, brothers and sisters act as teachers who try to lift the veil of humanity away from our eyes so that we may truly find God. “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later” (Jn 13:7). It is our humanity and constant condition of sin that impairs our ability to understand what it is that Jesus is preaching. Priests, brothers and sisters, however, have devoted their life to God; thus, they have achieved an enlightened understanding of Christ’s teachings.
