On Retreat with the Priests of Rapid City

I am in the beautiful Terra Sancta Retreat Center with the good priests of Rapid City, South Dakota these days preaching a retreat entitled: “"Who do I say you are?  Christ and the Priest.”  If you would like to download a PDF copy of the slides from my conferences, just click on the links below:

1:  Who do they say you are?

2:  The Priest as alter Christus

3:  Sacrifices offered on an Altar

4:  Obedience, Kenosis, and Priesthood

5:  The Priest and Penance (two conferences)

6:  The Priest as Teacher

7:  The Priest and the Ars Celebrandi

8: Who does he say you are?

By the way, in our lat session, one of the priests asked for the source of this quote from Saint Augustine: "The one to guard against is the man whose eloquence is no more than an abundant flow of empty words.  His listener is more easily charmed by him in matters that are unprofitable to hear about and, all too frequently, such eloquence is mistaken for truth."  It's from Book IV of De doctrina Christiana (4.5.7)
