I realized that on this path we are not alone, that the great multitude of saints walk with us, and the living saints, the faithful of today and tomorrow, sustain us and walk with us,” he said. “Then came the laying on of hands, and finally Cardinal Faulhaber proclaimed to us: ‘Iam non dico vos servos, sed amicos’ – ‘I do not call you servants, but friends’; at that moment, I experienced my priestly ordination as an initiation into the community of Jesus’ Assumption BVM Parish friends, called to be with him and to proclaim his message.” Moose Jaw In his June 11, 2010, homily for the conclusion of the Year for Priests, which he called to commemorate the 150th anniversary of 70th Anniversary Celebrations the death of St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests through- August 21, 2016 out the world, Benedict emphasized the importance of the sacra- mental element of the priesthood.
