In 1929,sous the signature of Stanislas Navantès, appeared a new work on the Small Theresa of The child-jésus, with subtitle,: The angel of the Ministration. This gracious title, she/it had deserved it. The angel of the Ministration, and all his/her/its life testifies to some, the Small Theresa was in all his/her/its fullness of the expression. As she predicted it, she passes are sky to make the good sweat the earth. She/it achieves this project all apostolic: ', I think about all the although I would like to make after my death; to help the ready, the missionaries, all the church. '' She/it kept word: '' Since The year that followed the death of God's maid, writes My Lord Laveille, annals of the propagation of the Faith, recorded of resulted them that the missionaries said extraordinary and unhoped-for. This is not his/her/its marvelous intervention who deserved him to be proclaimed Manager of the Missions for the same reason as saint François-Xavier?

The angel of the Ministration! Is not this as well as Benoît XV designated it to a priest: '' Ask it, it is his/her/its vocation of teaches to the clergyman to like Christ. '' A venerable religious returned him this testimony: '' I learned more theology and drew more of lights on the ministerial life in the autobiography of Sr. Theresa that in all works consulted on this topic ''. Delegate by Pope Magpie XI, in the Carmel of Lisieux to celebrate a Mass of action of graces there, the papal messenger, the Reverend Father of Herbiguy, S.J., told the Nuns: '' His/her/its Holiness Magpie Xi vowed to his/her/its Blissful first and Saint thankful affection for the particular aid that he receives some. He/it considers Saint Theresa of The child-Jesus like a second guardian angel of His/her/its august person and enjoys in the conversation to gives him this name. ''

The Small Theresa made this prayer one day; '' oh my Beloved, I implore you to lower your divine look on a big number of small souls, I implore you to choose you in this world a legion of small victims, worthy of your love! '' Also, since his/her/its death, this Angel of the Ministration, saw to increase '' the Angels of the Ministration '', coins various stocks: '' Apostles of the priests, '' host Ministerial '', '' Small Partners of the Holy spirit '', name that designates the souls whose whole life is vowed to the reason of the Ministration.

The Angels of the Ministration are not born of yesterday, as one too long believed it. It is always from afar, with as much wisdom as of love that God to prepare the big that of love that God to prepare the big things that he/it intends to accomplish in favor of a soul, of a family, of the society, of the church.

The Angels of the Ministration were appeared by Marthe and Marie at Béthanie, offering to the Sovereign Priest the most cordial and gracious hospitality. The Angels of the Ministration, one sees them in the person of devout women offering qu Large Pontiff who is going to die the respectful homages of their piety, of their compassion, of their tears.

Were the Angels of the Ministration represented to Mount Calvary and the Coterie by The Mother of the eternal Priest, to Mount Calvary, Jesus baptized them par excellence in the streams of his/her/its blood, to the Coterie, by the intervention of the ministerial host, the Holy spirit didn't he/it consider them as the necessary complement of his/her/its priests? As holy Augustin affirms it: ', quite acquired makes of good years the church and me^me by the Pontiffs makes itself by the secret movement of the praying souls spilled by the whole earth ''.

Since the first centuries, of the church the Angels of the Ministration were numerous. These are them that, during the confinement d e holy Pierre, prayed for the Chief of the church. It is these Angels' of the Ministration that Saint Paul addressed these lines: .. Pray for all saints and me, so that him I am given to open the lips and to preach with liberty the mystery of the gospel I make ambassadorship of the the chains and so that I speak of it with insurance as he/it agrees. ''

Every century counted Angels of the Ministration. And how much among them shone of a burst all special! Indeed the women were to honor. He/it is sufficient of number holy Scholastique, holy Claire Of foundation, holy Theresa of Avila, holy Catherine of Siena, holy Marguerite of Cortone, holy Marguerite-Marie, holy Theresa of the child - Jesus. It is such Angels' that the priests have of pleased to them it beautiful conquests.

What beautiful testimonies returned to the Angels of the Ministration! '' I had the consolation, said the Cardinal Pie, to visit and to bless the virgins whose whole life is to sacrifice for the church and the ministration. This mind firedog that to receive communion to the operations of the Holy spirit in Marie's soul victim and to don itself/themselves of his/her/its sublime dispensations. ''

August three, 1908, Saint Magpie X could write: '' We are delighted to the thought that a very big number of supporters of all condition, worrying of the a lot of clergy and the one of the church, unites to Us; and he/it is not Us less pleasant to know than has a lot of generous souls, not only in the cloisters, but again in the middle of the life of the century, that in an uninterrupted oblation, present himself in victims to God in this goal. ''

Of the top of the sky, saint Magpie X can contemplates a spectacle more deciding otherwise and more imposing, In the radiance of the angel of the Ministration, and of the Small Theresa of The child-Jesus, the Angels of the Ministration invaded the world.

These Angels of the Ministration are a multitude, In 1936, the author of the Faith in God's love addressed them these lines: .. Say yourselves that you are not alone to walk in the way where the Saint's grace - Mind introduced you. Of the hundreds, the thousands of souls work there in your company, spellbound by the same vision of beautiful quoted morals and who hit your eyes, in love as you of the desire of all whole to be '' employees to the things that look at the service of the celestial Father '' by the apostolate. must not This thought delight it you of joy and to stimulate you greatly to the sacrifice? What honor, indeed, to know associated you by an invisible tie but real, to so many saints swoon. To popularize the prayer for the priests, to make splice it like current spiritual practice in the life of all… has a big social need at our present people. Happy that will have contributed to get this result!..

In 1860, the church crossed a really tragic hour. The revolution had sworn the loss of MAGPIE IX, Helen of Chappoin, the future founder of Marie's Franciscan Missionaries, then aged of blackjack years, can as the regret not to be a soldier to be able to defend the Sovereign Pontiff. She/it comforted herself/itself of it to the thought that there is another manner to work for the holy Church, the one to sacrifice for her. One reads in his/her/its intimate notes; '' I offered myself to God to break the irons of Pierre saint ''. Become founder, her himself départit not of this thought so Catholic. It was his/her/its big preoccupation. Each of his/her/its daughters, to his/her/its professions, must add to the formula of the vœux: .. I offer myself in victim for the church ''.

A religious saint, Mother Marie of Jesus, founding of the Girls of Jesus' Cœur, fell murdered in 1884, victim of an impious sectarian and anarchist. She/it expired while whispering: '' I forgive him for the work ''. His/her/its life, he/it seems, was offered for a long time for a salt drank. '' I would give my life gladly '', she/it told her/its daughters" one day, so that Notre-Seigneur found in his/her/its priests what it waits for them; I would give it so that one only among them achieved his/her/its divine hoist fully. There is certainly that makes it, but I want to say, so that one only makes it besides, my life would be given" gladly.

What was the work of Mother Marie of Jesus? Some years before it had darkened one community of contemplative nuns grant the prayer and had to the sacrifices nourish the ministry of the priests.

The sanctification of the ministers of the Lord was the constant object of the his/her/its immolations. Wanting to survive itself/themselves in his/her/its daughters, she/it used herself/itself entire to instill to them his/her/its mind. Constantly, she/it came back on this topic. He/it valued him so much to heart! She/it found in his/her/its soul of the words to which one cannot resist. "My daughters", she/it" wrote, the union to the altar, the union has sacrifice, this identification of one whole life to the ministries of the Lord so that they celebrate more worthily, is an appeal that is sublime. It is a pure Christianity: to help the priests, to devote itself/themselves for them".

One believes to hear holy Theresa of Avila: "The day o;u you didn't pray, tear, suffered for the priests and the church", she/it told itself girls", that day, you were not true Carmelites". Talking of the works of the priests, she/it added: " These are our business. It is to this topic that your tears must sink. When you don't return to this end your prayers, discipline you, your fastings, believe that made not you what Notre-Seigneur asks you."

"I see the extreme need that the church of our prayers has, and I feel so briskly touched that it seems me that it mock that to be distressed of others thing. I have the conviction of it, while using us entire to pray for the defenders of the church, for the preachers, for the scientists who defend it, we will come to the help of our adorable Mr.. It is in this goal that we are united, and it is there our vocation. Ah! Believe me, hopeless prayer is not better nor more profitable than the one that makes itself for the pastors of the church."

Fifty years after, noting a renewal of goodwill piety in the priests, holy Vincent of Paul dared to advance: "Maybe this change is it due to this big saint."

The Small Theresa was set up worthy of his/her/its seraphic mother. The sanctification of the ministerial souls held the first place in his/her/its apostolic goodwill. This thought was the big light of his/her/its life, it must him his/her/its devotion and his/her/its heroism. Besides, she/it says it: "It is there the general ut of my life". And she/it didn't prove to be entire in the answer that she/it made one day to his/her/its nurse who accused it a few, seen his/her/its weak strengths, for going for a walk in the garden" I walk", she/it says while smiling", I walk for a missionary who is not able to some anymore."

As she/it is touching in these lines addressed to his/her/its sister: "During the short instants that our remain, let's not waste our time, let's save, the souls. I feel that Jesus asks us to refresh his/her/its thirst while giving him some souls, of the souls of priests especially.. Yes, let's pray for the priests, that our life is dedicated to them. I came to the Carmel ", she/it declared, the vielle of his/her/its profession", to save the souls and to pray for the priests."

At the Small Theresa, it is a conviction: who doesn't pray, that doesn't sacrifice for the priests can lath itself to like God:

To "live love, it is oh my divine Mr., to implore you to spill your fires in the elected soul and health of your priest. That he/it is more so that a seraph of the heaven! Protect it your immortal Church, I implore of it to you, to every instant of the day. Me, his/her/its child, I sacrifice for her. I live love!

Elsewhere, the Small Theresa had sung her prayer:

"I would like that the priest's soul looked like the angel of the sky! Ah! I would like that he/it could be born again before going up on the altar. "

she/it didn't make herself/itself illusion, such a prodigy st the fruit of ardent prayers and long immolations. Also, she/it added: "In order to operate this miracle, it is necessary that burning of love, the souls, close to the tabernacle, sacrifice the night and the day."

The author of" The Faith in "God's love, answers his/her/its small sister of soul. Indeed, one would say two lyres that vibrate to the union:

"That your priests are for as the white Host of which they are the sacred guards, so that the world of life, to the gestures of their life, that they are your favorite friends! So that they are to the level of their sublime task in the purity, the devotion, I accept, oh my Jesus, victim's role,: I offer you my life in his/her/its flower… "

Achieving that by his/her/its Carmelite vocation, she/it is the angel of the Ministration the Small Theresa cannot contain his/her/its joy, she/it sings it: "That she/it is beautiful our vocation! It is our turn to keep the salt of the earth! we offer our prayers and our sacrifices for the apostles of the Lord; we must be nous-m^mes their apostles, while by their words and their examples, they evangelize the souls of our brothers "!

"The apostles of the Lord "! That these apostles are? The Small Theresa had received the intelligence of the ministration. The vocation of priests! She/it exclaims. "With what love, oh Jesus, I would carry you in my hands, when my voice would make you come down from the sky! "With what love, I would give you to the souls "! She/it would never have comforted herself/itself not to be a priest. She/it confesses" to be happy to die to twenty four years the age where one can be ordered priest lawfully not to live with the regret of not being ".

"The apostle of the kind, said Pope Magpie XI, summarize in lapidary terms everything that one can say about the size, the dignity and duties of the Christian ministration: "That the man looks at you as the ministers of the Christ and the dispensateurs of the mysteries become. "The priest is minister of Christ; therefore instrument between the hands of the divine Redeeming for the continuation of his/her/its redeeming work in all his/her/its world universality and his/her/its divine efficiency, for the construction of this admirable work that will transform the world".

The priest's powers is indeed ineffable. They hold the Father's creative power, of the Son's redeeming power, at a time of the Saint's power sanctificatrice - Mind.

A priest climbs the degrees of the altar. By some words, he changes a little bread and a little wine to the body and to the Christ's blood. Oh power of the priest ", exclaim holy - augustin, by means of his/her/its dedicated mouth, between his/her/its hands the Christ is embodied again. The one that created it without his/her/its involvement is created by his/her/its contest, the one that made of nothing the sky and the earth gave him the d power procures him himself. ".

"Oh miracle! oh benignity of God ". says holy Jean - Chrysostome", OH great ministration!" exclaim holy Ephrem.

"It is the miracle of the miracles", said holy Thomas of Aquin", or it is necessary to admit that the evocation by God of the substance, natural carries away it on the evocation by the priest of the "creator's very substance.

"The priest ", did like to say holy Clement", is as the God of the earth". That seems of it to you? A simple mortal, without letting the earth, can he/it act in the depths of the heaven? by some words, does he/it can transubstancier of bread and wine?

"Make this in memory of me" had said the Savior to the apostles and to their successors. "If someone dares to say that, by these words: Hoc facite in meam commemorationem" teaches the Council of Thirty", the Christ didn't make priests his/her/its Apostles and not ordered only them and the other, priests offered his/her/its body and his/her/its blood, that he is anathema "!

Powerful on the Christ's real body, the priest is not less on his/her/its mystical body. He/it is constituted, according to the expression of Paul saint, the dispensateur of the divine mysteries".

But among the powers that the priest has on the Christ's mystical body to the profit of the supporters ", makes notices Pope Magpie XI, there is the power to remit the sins: Those to that you will have put back them, they will be handed them; those to that you will keep them they will be kept them ". great Power, so clean to God that the human pride himself could only admit him to be communicated to the man: "Who can remit the sins, otherwise only God"? and the seer exercised by a simple home, there is really place to wonder no by priggish scandal, but for a respectful astonishment for one so big dignity: What is the one that puts back the sins" even? but precisely the man - God, who had and to the power on earth to remit the sins, wanted transmits it to his/her/its priests to go ahead, with a liberality and a mercy divine, of this need of moral purification that is innate to the human conscience. What comfort for the guilty man, broken by remorse and the repentance, to hear the speech of the priests that tells him in the name of God,: "I absolve you of your sins!"

The power to remit the sins, the Christ didn't give it to the angels, nor to the powers, nor to the seraphs, same to his/her/its divine Mother", Go confess to the Virgin Mary or an angel", said the saint cleaned of Ars. they will absolve "You No. Will they give you the body and the blood of Notre-Seigneur? No, The Virgin Mary cannot make take down his/her/its Son in the host. You would have two hundred angels that they could not absolve you, a priest, so simple either him, can it; he/it can tell you: Go in peace, I absolve you, I forgive you."

Achieving the powers that he/it had received the saint vicar didn't possess itself of joy. "Ah! That the priest is some something of big", he" said, if him he didn't understand would die of love"! LePère Gratry thought thus", God, I see it, cover a veil and hope by precaution, the burst and the beauty of the Catholic ministration. If one knew, if one understood what is the ministration, there would be too many priests".

its book: "My conversion and my vocation ", the famous Russian general, Schouvaloof, speaks of the ministration in terms worthy of his/her/its big mind of faith: "the ministration is what of bigger has at the world, the priest, placed between the sky and the earth, between God and the man, received Christ of the powers of which no other human creature has never been invested."

"One sees it: the ministration is the highest of toues the dignities, the most elevated of toues the judiciaries, and the last vicar of village is bigger, hundred times, that all kings of the earth together."

This big Christian recovered the words of Bernard saint: "Priest, to what rank God raised you! He/it put you the kings and the emperors above. He/it put you angels and the archangels" above.

Before an elite audience, to Notre-Dame of Taken, Lacordaire exalted the glory of the ministration one day in proud accents; "In chair, we announce God's speech: in the altar we offer a God's blood; to the holy court, we bestow God's forgiveness, therefore, were you Thodoses or Charlemagne for the power, Turenne or Condé by the valor, Pascal or Newton by the knowledge; had yourselves extract on your forehead all powers, the genius's rays, all splendors of the glory, you are able without falling to incline you before this man, so modest either him, that the Christ consecrated his/her/its minister and his/her/its representative; you are able without being humiliated not to listen to his/her/its speech, to hear his/her/its Mass, to receive his/her/its absolution, bus in the powers that he/it holds, the man is kidney, it is God who is all ".

Beyond the priest, I glimpse the multitude of souls that him named st to save and to sanctify. It is his/her/its mission as beautiful as dangerous. the "priest's mission", said holy Ambroise", is merely the mission of the Holy spirit, munus Spiritus Sancti, officium secerdotis".

One told it with reason, the priest doesn't run away alone and doesn't get lost alone. the priest entered to the sky with a numerous and brilliant cortege of elected that will be his/her/its crown, or will fall in consistent hell of one multitude of damned that will be his/her/its shame and his/her/its confusion.

To contribute to the vocation and the sanctification, of only one priest, that pull some souls in the hell and work efficiently to the salute of a whole population", to Make a priest", said My Lord Of Ségur", it save a thousand of souls."

Saint Vincent of Paul didn't stop inviting the supporters to pray for the priests. He/it justified his/its insistence: It work to a chief of work that to feel good lends, after what cannot think anything bigger nor of more important! Oh! that a good priest is a big thing! What conversions he/it is not able to procure! Such are the pastors, he/it said again", such are the peoples ". pushing Me on a saint's words, me then to add: to make a holy priest, it prepare for the sky, ten, twenty, thirty one thousand elected.

One begins to understand that the priest, armed of the gospel, is the firmest hope of tomorrow, not, big God, for an adventurous hands-stake to clericalism, but to assure the social correction again by the supernatural correction. The salute? He/it is in the priest, voice of the Gospel, picket planted by God's hand to stop the impetus of the coming down.

The salute? These are these preachers preaching the verb in time and to against time, and preaching it with so-and-so accent of conviction and such flame of charity that the souls, moved until the most intimate, cry their sins and promise a bigger fidelity to the duty and to the virtue.

The salute? these are always these confessors ready to go at the confessional to welcome there with goodness all sinners. Who doesn't think here of the saint Cleaned Of Ars passing his/her/its days and a part of his/her/its nights to hear confess them! How many souls must him the joys of the sky!.

The salute? these are these entire pastors their flock's: searching for a led astray sheep; going ahead d, a prodigal child,; pouring oil and wine on the souls bruised by the mournings, by the injustices,; crying to the foot of the altars of the mistakes of their parishioners and of expiating them in the immolation all their to be.

The salute? these are these priests that, by their piety, by their dignity during the Mass, give to the supporters the impression that they see Notre-Seigneur in the altar. This vision sheaf in the soul a beneficent print. The faith fortifies itself, the love grows, the piety increases, the chastity appears more beautiful, the dejected courages stand up, the pain loses its bitterness, the hates lull.

The salute? These are the educators worthy of this name, By their teaching and again more by their examples, they prepare to the church a people perfects" and renew the prodigies operated by Paul's Vincent, a John the Baptist of the Room, a Don Bosco.

The salute? these are the spiritual directors that, pulling the souls to the mediocrity, drive them on the summits of the evangelical, happy perfection the soul that meets a holy François of Dirty!

The salute? These are the missionaries. After having let their family and their country, they vow all their existence to the salute of the pagan souls, as the psalmist sang it: "That they are beautiful the feet of those that announce the peace! Without their heroic devotion, that souls would not know the true God and could not benefit kindness of the Redemption! "When it is about the missions", said Benoît XV", the charity dons a character more to the sacred; he/it is not only question to decrease the deprivations, the miseries of the pagans, to improve their fate, he/it is question to pull their soul of the hands of satan, to give them the liberty of God's children to save them the flames of the hell and to procure them joys and the glories of the sky ".

The salute? these are the holy priests. Each of their speak is the messenger of a special grace. To their examples, God gives an irresistible strength. Their only presence is a predication; they impose the respect, he/it orders the admiration. Their shade, as the shade of Pierre saint, operate some prodigies. A secret virtue of a marvelous fertility comes out of all their person. One thinks can see them without thinking about God. One doesn't approach them without feeling better. There are hardly of souls that can evade the bracing heat of their charity. Also, one of the biggest beneficent that God makes to a soul, it is of puts on his/her/its road a holy priest, it is to place it in his/her/its radiance. Sinner, him the convert; tepid, he/it returns him his/her/its first devotions; generous, he/it pushes it until the heroism; magnetize and delicate, he/it raises it until the summits of the perfection.

The salute? These are the holy priests. Our agonizing century needs some. Only, they will be able to heal it of the pains of which he/it endures; only, will know them how to stop it in his/her/its walk toward the apostasy.

Happy the souls that by their prayers and by their sacrifices will get to our country of saints priests! Certainly, they will have deserved God, the church and souls well. I call some to the voice of Pope Magpie XI", We rent, We bless, We recommend all our heart these cœurses magpies that, in one thousand shapes and by one thousand saints industries suggested by the mind-Saint, aim to keep, to promote, to assist the ministerial vocations. Nothing is more pleasant to God, more honorable to the church, more profitable to the souls that the grant of a holy priest. So therefore the one that offers a glass of water to the smallest of the "Christ's disciples won't lose its reward ", what won't be the reward of the one that puts so to speak in the pure hands of a young Levite the sacred chalice flushed of the Blood of the Redemption, and that helps it to raise the chalice skywards, pledge of pacification and blessing for the humanities.

The Virgin Mary, teach the most authorized theologies, although not having the ministerial character, has fold of it eminently the functions. Thus, is some him of you, kept proportion.

You cannot offer the sacrifice of our altars officially, because the Christ you don't say: "Mistakes this in memory of me"; but, immolated on the altar of God's vouloirs you are the hosts of his/her/its eternal ministration. Thanks to this participated ministration, your painful life is an uninterrupted Mass. This Mass of sufferings, as the priest's Mass, honor God, build the holy Church, rescues the souls of the purgatory, gets to the living of innumerable favors and returns you participants of all sorts of goods. So this abbot Girard understood it that the illness stopped, subdeacon, on the way of the ministration and that it crucified twenty two years during.

To a colleague who pitied it not to have to be little a priest, this abbot made this sublime reflection: "I like to be better the host, so poor and so miserable that she/it is, of which Jesus is Lend it, that to be the Priest of which Jesus would be the host ".

You cannot distribute the sacramental absolutions in the court of the penitence, because you didn't receive the power of the keys; but your sufferings, if you want it, associate you the narrowest way in this ministry of mercy and love, by your crucified life, you get to the sinners the faith, the confidence, contrition and the justification; how many priests must you the holy joy to reconcile with God, either at death's door, either on the occasion of the retirements, of the poor wretches that since ten, twenty and trentes years lived in the sin and in the sacrilege!

You cannot go up there in pure chair to announce God's speech, He/it has not been told" you Go and teach" but your patience, you resignation, your piety, your courage, your holy examples speak of the Christ and God. You are of these" Apostles of which the only presence, according to the expression of Lacordaire, is already like a beneficent apparition of Jesus Christ-Christ."

You cannot dedicate the priests as the bishops make it, but you sufferings deserve the ministerial vocation, to a big number of young people, perseverance to several seminarians, the virtues clean to the holy priests. "More you will be hosts, liked retelling to his/her/its daughters a founding saint, more they will be priests."

In spite of the ardor of your goodwill, he/it won't be given you to go in missions. Comfort yourselves to the thought that your sufferings nourish the ministry of the missionaries. This is not in his/her/its patient's cell or in the infirmary that the Small Theresa of Lisieux himself the auxiliary of the missionaries and deserved to be proclaimed him the manager of it?

You will never consecrate any pontiffs, but by the immolation of your life, you will assure to the church of the pontiffs that, fill God's mind, president with wisdom, dignity and goodwill to the destinies of the diocese, Saint Augustin affirms it: "All c that makes itself of good in the church and even by the pastors, said the holy doctor, makes itself by the secret movement of the widespread praying and suffering souls by the whole earth ".

Souls victims, souls hosts, souls martyrdoms, you are the apostles and your apostolate by the sacrifice is the most efficient and most fertile. I am not right to envy vote fate? As he/it is beautiful! To "work to save the souls, said holy Jean Eudes, that is more beautiful than of taken back of the victories, to conquer kingdoms, to found some empires. It is the work of the œuvres. The saints didn't have anything besides to heart. The church devotes itself of it. The angels run there with an impetuous ardor. The Virgin Marie dedicates his/her/its life and his/her/its Son there. And God's Verb, for this delivery, st come, worked hard, suffered and died. And the three divine people, in their creations and their œuvres, never pursue another goal".

The Angels of the Ministration, me then to affirm it, contribute a special way to give saints lend to the Christ and the church.

One saints nun offered herself/itself to Notre-Seigneur in favor of the priests: "Oh my adored Priest, that I am given everywhere as host where it will be about the sanctification of your priests and the reduction of their works, I feel that they are spiritually on me as they have right on their Host. A voice constantly tells to me: "More I would be host, more they will be priests."

Reminding these words one day to these girls, Mother Marie of Jesus told to them: "Close the eyes and let make the divine sanctifier, Jesus, our Spouse. That your heart is a living lily in the middle of the thorns of the agony; that your soul is a censer full of the fire of the love and the incense of an unceasing sacrifice whose perfume brings up toward Jesus; that all your to be is a supplication and a holocaust that touch God's heart and attract torrents of graces on the priests so that Jesus is delights in the souls, that they boast vastly in them, and makes them produce always for his/her/its divine service of the fruits more abundant."

"More you tighten hosts, more they will be priests!" these words have the secret to maintain a soul in his/her/its devotion first or to renew his/her/its courage if need be. Who doesn't understand it! In these simple words, there is as fire. Does a soul magnetize, delicate, that it to offer to the Christ of the priests more priests, more similar to it, more influential on the crowds, more powerful on God's heart, would not make? this soul has the regret not to have one thousand lives to sacrifice for a reason so beautiful. She/it tells God: "I don't see some what I can help you of it, but if the cement is necessary for your ministerial building, pulverize my bones, knead them with my blood and my tears, serve of it to you. Me then nothing to give you that myself, take, all, and make what you will want"…

So much beautiful souls held such a language and one makes such an offering of their life! "Divine Cœur of my God, said a small patient. Jeanne Marie Fabre, if you need more martyrs for the defenses of the souls dedicated, oh!, then I offer you the whole blood of my veins! I especially offer you all for the souls, for your Church, for your priests so that they are impure, very holy! " Another patient, Séraphie - Adele, made echo to his/her/its small sister in the suffering,; "I don't know how the sky thanks and of me to have given this sublime vocation to pray and to suffer for the priests, Lord, satisfy yourselves of it me and on me. I implore you all sufferings that your love wants that I suffer, in You and with You, for your ready, so that they are holy and immaculate in your charity, for your reign, oh Cœur of Jesus, for the achievement of all your wills! "

One doesn't dry up of praises to the suet of the" blood donors ". Of fact, they play a social role worthy of praises. Our century will be able to brag about to have to his/her/its asset a shape of charity that the past centuries didn't know; "the donors of blood ". thanks to this gesture as generous as efficient, that of human lives have been kept! So much healths have been improved and have been restored fully! So much related have been kept to the affection of their children! So much children, without such a gesture, would have been delighted to the tenderness of their parents!

"The donors of blood! Their gesture is the most intelligent investment, the most human, the most honorable than one can make. Life is not t it not the capital par excellence? how many dying millionaires would be ready to give all their fortune to that would promise them to prolong their life of about ten years! There are other donors of blood of which the origin
go back up a lot higher and of which the role, without comparison, is more beautiful and of which the efficiency a range of which one cannot measure the extent and the influence.

The Large Donor of blood was God's Son, the incarnate Verb. On the tree of the cross, it is not his count-drop, but by full effusion, that he/it gave us his/her/its divine blood, blood of such a virtue that he/it purchased the humanity. Since twenty centuries, this Blood preserved of the death eternal toues the souls that one drunk t in a fervid communion. This blood was worth an abundant spiritual life to the souls that wanted to water itself/themselves of it. This saint healed all infirmities moral of the souls that received with a deep respect and a quick confidence.

To the example of the Large Donor of Blood, in the first three centuries of the church, an incalculable number of Christian gave their blood, as witnesses of the Christ, for the glory of God and the salute of the souls. And this blood of the Christian united to the one of the divine Redeeming was according to the expression of Tertullien "a Semen seed" is sanguis christianorum". don't owe ourselves to so-and-so blood our Christian faith and the flowering of apostolic œuvres of which honor itself the holy church, she/it didn't lack donors of blood. And their blood always flowed to hurried streams, It is not still the blood of the veins it is not the most precious but the blood of the heart, the blood of will, the blood of one life immolated to God's glory.

Among these donors of blood, the Angels of the Ministration occupy a place of choice. It is in the veins of the Apostles of the Lord, his/her/its ministers and the dispensateurs of the divine mysteries, of Christ others, that they transfuse the blood of their sacrifices, of their immolations, of their sufferings, of toues their offered life to God for the sanctification of the priests and for the fertility of their ministry.

"More you will be hosts, more they will be priests!" and naturally, tells itself a soul: "less I would be hosts, less they will be priests!" This reflection so just doesn't provoke less to the sacrifices and to the heroism, if the priests are less priests, the glory that they will return to God will be less big; the saved souls will be less numerous; will the damned be in bigger number. Who would dare to take such a responsibility?

A soul that consisted of the role of the Angels of the Ministration is not able to anything anymore to refuse to God. For the priests, she/it prays; for the ready, she/it sacrifices herself/itself; for the priests, she/it would even strip herself/itself of all his/her/its merits in order to enrich them, as Catherine saint of Siena, holy Theresa of Avila, holy Theresa of The Jesus child, that soul is of the sanctification of the ministerial souls the constant subject of all his/her/its efforts. She/it doesn't let pass no opportunity.

Misunderstood, she/it doesn't complain she/it offers to God his/her/its pain. She/it can be worth to the priests the favor to understand the souls! So many souls, to be understood, don't give all their measure!

Does she/it endure insomnia? is She/it nearly happy", did I visit a small patient of twenty two years one day ankylosée by a rheumatism, that the physicians declared incurable. Did his/her/its livid features carry the history of himself long insomnias", did You hardly sleep, dear child? did I ask him? "Very little indeed… But I found the night so short! I thought far about the missionaries of the countries for the what I solved to suffer.. He/it seemed me that my pain would make them the good, and I felt so many happiness" of it! (The apostolate of the Hidden elite).

The critiques and the calumnies let it insensible, he/it seems He/it is not anything of it. Delicate soul, she/it suffers. Yet, she/it doesn't ask God to move away this chalice. She/it drinks it in silence. She/it wants to preserve the priests of that who can throw a few disrepute on their ministry. To deserve this kindness, she/it is ready to sacrifice his/her/its reputation; If a priest has the misfortune to forget his/her/its ministerial dignity, she doubles her/its prayers and his/her/its sacrifices she is inconsolable, she would like to wash his/her/its blood this regrettable forgets, and so much what has stain didn't disappear, she covers it with the royal coat of his/her/its charity.

She/it doesn't grant quiescent point. She/it is suitable to touts the tasks. Does she/it have to choose? She/it reserves the task the most laborious and humblest. To hear it, she/it is never tired. What is the secret of his/her/its energy? She/it hopes to deserve to the priests the strengths of which they have need. This is not to such souls that some priest owes a long and fruitful Career?

The sufferings don't frighten it. She/it makes them good face. She/it forbids herself/itself all complaint, she/it is smiling. His/her/its sufferings, so God wants to have them for pleasant, will keep to priests a precious health. So much souls even offer their life in favor of the priests! I understand them. They cannot sacrifice themselves for a nobler reason.

Injured in an accident of railroad, a priest was driven to the hospital. to save him life, he was immediately question to amputate him a leg. In the neighboring room, there was a young nun to that the following day one had to remove gangrened one feet. Aware of the situation critical of this priest, she/it exclaimed: "It is not necessary, it is not necessary, Lord, take my feet patient, but save to your priest the operation that threatens it ". His/her/its prayer had been sensible. To the big surprise of the physicians, the state d priest improved. did he let the hospital Some weeks later. he didn't have to this favor to this nun's sacrifice?

Another nun was born, he seemed, under a bad star. His/her/its companions pitied it. In spite of his/her/its prudence, every week, she/it had to her/its credit a new accident. She/it has laughed", It amuses me", she/it" said, because I see God's answer there. Many times, I told to him: "Hit me, but save your priests". We have there the secret of the protection special toue granted to some priests. They didn't escape the death that providentially.

I was in a hospital. "My Father, told me a young priest", go therefore to the room no 12. I have one of the my sœurs that is a small tubercular. His/her/its case is desperate, but it doesn't want to resign itself to the death. You would make to him well; go therefore see it, tell to him that it is I that send you". Some minutes later, I hit to the room of this small patient. My visit appeared to surprise it and even to antagonize it. Don't speak to me the death, tells to me her, while seeing me entering. Indeed, it was little inviting. I let him the speech. In the middle of abundant tears, she/it gave me the reasons for which she/it didn't want to die. "I would not die, not, I won't die. I want to heal, promise it me". will Come back you to health ", tell to him me" I hope for it and I am going to pray for you, but the important is to sanctify your sufferings. If you want it, I would propose you a goal." I want it, she/it took coldly", but it won't change anything, I don't want to die, I am too young."

"It is your brother, Mr. the N Abbé.. that asked me to come to see you. Happy are you to have a brother priest! Happy he would be if his/her/its small sister offered toues his/her/its sufferings for the success of his/her/its ministry", More you will be hosts, more he will be a priest." I had hit rightly. Do "you believe" it she says to me while sketching a smile "? does she/it think some instants. "Hey well! yes, I want it. Take my speech, I won't recover, but don't say anything of it to name brother ". The reason was won. Some days later, she/it returned in the middle of his to die there predestined to some. Six months during, in spite of quick pains, his/her/its patience, his/her/its resignation, his/her/its abandonment between God's hands didn't deny themselves. She/it spoke of the death as one speaks of one feast. The death that she/it had dreaded so much, she/it called it. he was impatient to consume his/her/its sacrifice, in favor of his/her/its brother", My Father", told to me her one day", the goal that you proposed to me was for me a revelation. If I had not had it. I would have wasted ms sufferings, and I would have died maybe in rebel. Some days before his/her/its death, she/it made to her/its brother this confidence: "As I am happy to die! To the sky, I would be your small Theresa, account on me "

Claire Latour, the small tubercular of the Bruchési institute, told an intimate what she/it called her/its" conversion". "One had given me the apostolate of the Hidden elite. This book didn't tell me anything, indeed I was afraid of it. One day, I tell to myself: at the end, it is necessary that I see what of beautiful has in there. I took a page at random from where one spoke of the suffering for the missionaries. Ah! That I cried… my life was changed, I wanted, me also, to relieve the missionaries. I was not afraid anymore; of big heart I made my offering in favor of the priests ". A friend, while letting it suffering yes wished a good night. The small patient took while smiling: Don't pray so that I endure less, it is for the priests.".

After his/her/its spouse's death, Jeanne-Marie of Mail, the rich châtelaine of Sillé, made itself voluntarily poor under the liveries of the Third Order and offered itself in victim for the ministerial souls. To his/her/its family's big surprise, Jeanne-Marie, looked for some humiliations, she/it created herself/itself of the sufferings. To the tour of them, one wondered and one said itself: "Why would not to fill one chalice who for no man know remains empty?" Jeanne Marie filled this chalice by new penitences. "The Christ", she/it" said, completed his/her/its oratory on the martyrdom, it is of the top of the cross that he/it attracted all to him. By my sacrifices, can I get to the priests the "Christ's oratory?

Soon, in the city of Sillé, one noted one considerable change in the mœurs and in the piety. The crowds until then indifferent, hurried in the churches to hear God's speech there, and God's speech, so long despised, made on the souls the deepest impression. What is the secret was? No one suspected it. The preachers pulled vanity of their predications maybe. The Blissful Jeanne-Marie was the worker this spiritual renewal; if one preached well, if God's speech moved the souls, if the virtue bloomed beautiful and conquering, it is that Jeanne-Marie, the poor, the beggar, the maid, had prayed a long time and many suffered in favor from the ministerial souls.

"We will see at the sky ", says the R.P.Plus", to what humble hidden influences held the big apostolic successes. Where notes itself a big supernatural radiance, a really fertile action, be sure, a share of ardent prayers has been thrown by someone in the inferno ".

Saint Benoît benefitted extensively from the dear sister prayers Scholastique saint and of those of his/her/its spiritual daughters.

Saint Dominique founded the Dominicans. Of their prayers and their immolations, they nourished the apostolic ministry of the Preachy Brothers. And as he/it was fertile!

Saint Claire and himself girls, by their crucifying life, took an active part to the work of regeneration moral and social of François saint Of foundation. They helped it efficiently to" to repair the church that fell in ruin". One told it with exactness: the Clarisseses, the fingers on the keyboards of the divine forgiveness, presided to the destinies of the church and the conquest of the souls. They were for the Minor Brothers what was the Dominicans for the Preachy Brothers.

Close to Jean saint of the Cross, lived holy Theresa of Avila. The seraphic reformer of the Carmel didn't stop telling his/her/its daughters: "Ah! Pray for the sanctification of the priests; that it is there your special task, the object of your prayers, of your tears, of you sighs ".

"How do you explain yourselves success? One told the R.P one day. Matéo. "What gives so much power to my words, answered this apostle of the Sacred heart, these are these thousands of burning and holy souls that are with me". Talking of these souls, the R.P.Matéo added: "What is beautiful and admirable, this generation of small souls, dews to the sky, that received of the Lord the secret to make with him, without applause, without hope of human reward, of big things for his/her/its glory and for the salute of the souls. From where do come - them, these precious souls? They are the drops of blood of a race… the wealth moral of an organism quite impregnated of the purest and the strongest Catholicism."

"I understood", said a devout Carmelite", that Jesus made me responsible for the souls of his/her/its ministers that I could help, to raise, to save, to sanctify by my Carmelite life. Already, this mission had been given to me. But I did understand it like this morning? You will be Carmelite for my priests. Quite, all for them. These are diamonds without taken of Jesus, these diamonds, it is necessary for me to work to polish them, to make be resplendent them. To seal every act of my life of Jesus' words, speech that I take for the inviolable motto of my life, the formula of all my intentions,: "I sanctify myself myself for them, so that they are sanctified in truth ". I feel, while writing this speech, that on this speech I would be judged, My God, piety! But I don't withdraw anything. Yes, yes, to life, to the death, all, all for your priests "!

"All for your priests "! It is not give too. "The prayer of "God's Mother, said the Blessed Julian Eymard", his/her/its apostolate of predilection was to pray for the ministration, to ask that the vocations increase, to get for the peoples of saints priests". Who would wonder some? The Virgin Mary she/it didn't have to hear the prayer of his/her/its divine Son, in favor of the priests,: "My Father, keep them to the pain, sanctify them in the truth; I sanctify myself, I sacrifice myself myself so that they are sanctified in truth."

"All for your priests!" To devote itself/themselves" to the souls, it is beautiful, it is big", said Mother Marie of Jesus, but to devote itself/themselves to the interests of God's purest glory in the ministerial souls, it is if beam that it would be necessary to have one thousand lives to give and one thousand cœurs to let crush by the immolation in this noble drank ". This founding saint is right. The souls that constitute themselves hosts in favor of the priests, not only nourish their ministry, and assure him the fertility of it, but without being donned of the ministerial character, they fill themselves the role and the functions." These souls ", add Mother Marie of Jesus, one cannot say it, to the mystical sense and by extension, are eminently ministerial ". This participated ministration, that to understand it, raise them to sublime heights. Above them, indeed, there are only the priests.

"Than them beautiful st our vocation!" exclaimed delighted the Small Theresa. "Indeed, writes Sr. John the Baptist, is there anything more beautiful than such a priest? The Christ made of the priests his/her/its" chosen tribe, his/her/its people of acquirement ", to constitute them, n no not the successors, but the ministers of his/her/its own ministration; Their ministration is therefore the extension, the extension of the one of the Christ. Where to find a higher dignity here below? Ah! that one doesn't speak to me honor of this world, vain stocks that pass with time, anymore! The ministerial character will have the eternity to be resplendent to the front of those that carried it worthily on the earth, and his/her/its burst will rebound on all those that closely as lion saurant contributed to their vocation and the fertility of their ministry."

What seems you of it? Didn't the Angels of the Ministration match - them and not all dazzles in their radiance of the divine Priest and they are not as the reflection of his/her/its ministration?

The powerful of this world believe to take care important œuvres to deliver itself/themselves to imposing enterprises. These œuvres and these enterprises become pale as far as fading away before the beautiful mission of the Angels of the Ministration. The years will pass on the human works and will put them all in dusts. The centuries would not know how to touch to the work of the Angels of the Ministration, because the priest is eternal", Sacerdos in aeternum."

Ah! Who would not like to be" an Angel of the Ministration!" Saint Paul aux Romains chapitre 12 v 1-3
