"Oh, awesome dignity of priest, in whose hands as in the womb of the Virgin the Son of Sod becomes incarnate! Oh, sacred and heavenly ministry, by which the Father and the Son and the Hqly Spirit operate! In one and the same way, the identical God who presides over all in heaven lies in your hands in the Sacrament of the altar. Oh, astounding sacredness of those hands! Oh, happy office! Oh, truly the joy of the world! Christ handles Christ; that is, the priest handles the Son of God, whose happiness is to be with the children of men. And that which has not been given to angels has been entrusted to men. While the priest confects this ineffable Mystery, the angels gather about him at the altar as servants. Heaven is astounded at this amazing privilege, the earth is astonished, man is awe-struck, hell is horrified, the devils tremble, and the angelic host is smitten with veneration".
(Si. Augustine)
To Our Lady of the Snows
Whose home at Nazareth once sheltered the Child-God Is dedicated
This her newest home at Pine Hills With the prayer that those who dwell therein May grow in their childhood aspirations To the full stature of spiritual manhood As her Missionary Oblates.
