"And now, priests, this commandment is for you: If you do not listen,
And if you do not take to heart giving honor to my name, says the Lord of hosts,
I will send a curse upon you and your blessing I will curse." (Malachi 2: 1 - 2).
A chilling warning for our priests. How do we support our priests in their onerous vocation? The one that comes to mind is to pray for them. I do this every day but I could and should do more.
God's anger is not abated against His priests. The Almighty God continues:
"But you have turned aside from the way, and have caused many to stumble by your instruction;
You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the Lord of Hosts. I, therefore, have made you contemptible and base before all the people,
For you do not keep my ways, but show partiality in your instruction." (Malachi 2: 8 - 9).
What fraternal advice can we offer to our priests in the light of this terrible indictment?
Do you preach but not practice?
Then practice what you preach.
