The recent annual CL Priests Retreat with Msgr. Albacete was, if it was even possible, more wonderful than usual. I can't say why exactly, but I think it was because Monsignor's humanity came through his priesthood, and his priesthood came through his humanity. Often, we priests like to act like "a class above." This is a mistake. We saw at the retreat that humanity is what makes a priest our brother. The sacrament doesn't take that away; it puts his humanity with all his gifts in Christ's humble service.
