What
is the Fraternity of Priests?: Its origin and stages of development from Steubenville Priests’ Conference
to an international renewal group.
The
Visitation Message: God is
visiting His people in a special way at this time calling us to a radical
response.
Praise
and Worship: Our prayer must
be strong and focused on God. Strong active praise brings us into God’s
presence and enables us to respond in worship to God’s calling is into
intimate relationship with Him.
Pastoral
Care: Committed to be available
to one another for serious growth in relationships and holiness, we
make ourselves mutually vulnerable and open to each other. We are seriously
present to, and for, each other.
God’s
Action and Our Response:
God calls us and empowers us by the Holy Spirit. We respond by the surrender
of self and an openness to the Holy Spirit. Dying to self through disciplined
commitment we strive seriously for holiness.
Re-rooting
our Priesthood and Empowered by the Holy Spirit: Our identity must be in Jesus, filled by his Spirit.
More important than any “mission” is our relationship with God and with
our brothers.
Evangelization
and Committed Brotherhood: We
commit ourselves to the “New Evangelization” and by expression of loving
brotherhood draw others, by example, to imitate us and be renewed.
Fraternity
Call To Holiness: The “Kingdom
Disciplines”, to which we commit ourselves are described and explained.
Through one another we are called to live according to them to renew
ourselves and one another for the renewal of the Church.
