text: Dear Thomas:
  Next  year I´ll be 50 years a priest.
  You say:  "the priest is needed for the Eucharist, Confession and Anointing".
  With all due respect and no wish to demean:
  So the role of the priest is to be some sort of manager of a sacramental supermarket?
  During all my years I have believed that it is much more than that and includes includes witness, prophecy.
  ... which has everything to do with "Do this in memory of Me".
  The question: what exactly was it that he did that he wants us to remember, re-live & resurrect?
  I believe the answer to that is in the doing and no so much in the saying (or even in the weekly
  celebrating for an hour).
