This is a selection of extracts which specifically relate to the apostles of Jesus in their destiny as priests, and to the priests of the
(then) future who must remain obedient to His teachings - especially in times of persecution, apostasy and heresy. The future priests
will be the “doctors of souls” who will consecrate the Eucharist and administer the other Sacraments. They will need perseverance,
wisdom and love, they will be assisted by the compass of the Gospel, and they will be guided by the Holy Spirit.
