The Stations of the Cross with Meditations on the Priesthood

Introduction

It is not possible for any lay person, male or female, to grasp or comprehend fully the sublime vocation to the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ or what it means to live out this calling. Each of us, in a very real sense, is called to live our lives walking with Jesus up the hill of Calvary. But it is a deep reality – a deep and sacred reality – that those ordained to the priesthood will, in persona Christi, lay down their lives for others.

We, as laity, can never enter fully into the mystery of the life of a priest, but we might, on occasion, discover a “window” through which we catch a glimpse or gain a little deeper understandingof his life as he lives it on the road to Calvary with Jesus.

In writing these short meditations on the priesthood for the Stations of the Cross, we hope to offer you a “window” suchas this to look through. As you make the Stations with these meditations, please consider offering them for the sanctification of all priests and their fidelity to their vocation.

The Holy Father’s call to “Pray for Priests”
“The priest is a gift from the Heart of Christ: a gift for the Church and for the world.” ~ Pope Benedict XVI at the close of the Year for Priests
Msgr. Peter Dunne
About Msgr. Peter Dunne

Born and raised in Omaha, Monsignor Peter F. Dunne was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Omaha in 1944. In his first assignment as a new priest, he was sent to Boystown where he spent his first four years as a priest with the legendary founder of Boystown, Msgr. Edward J. Flanagan. Msgr. Dunne went on from Boystown to serve in a number of parishes in the Archdiocese until his retirement in 1989.

A gifted preacher throughout his active ministry, Msgr. Dunne remained active in retirement, giving workshops, directing retreats, traveling with groups, and keeping a busy appointment schedule. He was involved with numerous apostolates throughout his priesthood and tirelessly promoted devotion to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary everywhere he went. He became the founding father of KVSS Catholic Radio at the age of 80.

Presently, at the age of 92, Msgr. Dunne continues to offer daily Mass and help wherever he can. Passionately in love with the Lord and with the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ, he is an inspiration to all who know him. The prayers and meditations you will find here come out of the heart of his almost 67 years of ministry.

Please keep Msgr. Dunne and all the beautiful priests who have grown old in the service of the Lord and his Church in your prayers.

This booklet was created with the dual purpose of supporting priests and increasing vocations to the ministerial priesthood.

It is a treasured gift to the Archdiocese of Omaha and to the universal Church. It is my hope that this booklet of prayers be distributed in strategic locations throughout the archdiocese and beyond so that the words of Cardinal Hummes may be realized,

“This movement will offer better service to Christ and His brothers ... standing in Christ’s stead and representing Him, as head, shepherd and spouse of the Church.”

Most Reverend Elden F. Curtiss Archbishop of Omaha
