The spirituality of the diocesan priest

"In this collection, twelve priests and bishops reflect on the spirituality of the diocesan priest from their personal and pastoral experience." "Have diocesan priests finally transcended the monastic and religious order spiritualities that have shaped their prayer and interior lives for centuries? Is a spirituality proper to the diocesan priest emerging precisely at a time when the priesthood is under such close scrutiny? The contributors - pastors, theologians, poets, and bishops - grapple with the maturing of the diocesan priest's soul."--BOOK JACKET.
