The ministerial priesthood in the light of the mystery of Christ Jesus: Priest and victim The ministerial priesthood and its Ecclesial setting Interiority and mission Priesthood as a state of life: the Evangelical counsels and the radicalism of the Gospel The ministerial priesthood: its classical modes of ministry and presence within the church The dynamic of tradition.

Summary: Hans Urs von Balthasar's writings have pastoral implications that even now are barely recognized and hardly developed. Here a pastorally experienced theologian, who knew von Balthasar personally, unfolds this pastoral dimension for the first time. Father Dermot Power demonstrates the paradoxical grandeur and weakness of the Catholic priesthood. He highlights the roles of the Catholic priest as servant, bridegroom, shepherd, victim, teacher, prophet, celebrant, and minister of reconciliation. He explores the relationship between the mission of Christ and the states of life within the Church, including the laity, and that between the universal call to holiness and the priestly vocation. He examines the structures of the Church in relation to the inwardness of love, and the new hope it offers for the renewal of the priesthood in the Catholic Church. Dermot Power is Chaplain of St. Mary's School, Ascot. He lectures widely and leads retreats and workshops for priests. https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Theology-Priesthood-Mystery-Mission/dp/0813209161/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780813209166&qid=1593192568&s=books&sr=1-1
