My priesthood is not my gift to give. It isn't even my priesthood. Christ is choosing to give the gift to his people through me, and why he chose me, I cannot tell. In my pride I am yet tempted to come up with reasons why I'm "great for the job," but as experience has taught me, no man, especially not me, is qualified for this enterprise. Thank God for His help, for if I were left alone to be a priest, I would screw it up big time.
St. Anthony of the Desert supplies fitting words:
The performance of signs does not belong to us - this is the Savior's work.
