"Although I've been a priest for thirty-five years now, I must say that until hearing these four talks, I never really understood or appreciated the essential meaning and dignity of my vocation to the priesthood. And I'm sure that this would hold true for many others too"---Fr.G.

Let's face it, the much discussed "crisis in vocations" needs to be seen for what it is: A CRISIS OF FAITH, one that affects virtually every younger Catholic under 40 but also older ones too, including many priests and deacons.

In this tape series, Professor Hahn shows how the essen-tial meaning and awesome dignity of the priesthood reflects the natural role of the man in the family---as father, son, bridegroom and brother. Hahn then shows how Christ fulfills this fourfold function through his own sacrificial self offering, which all baptized people are called to share, most especially those who receive the sacrament of holy orders.
