Fr. Kelly: “Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech”—Psalm 110:4
“Thou art a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” This famous phrase from Psalm 110, verse 4, signifies the Priesthood of Jesus Christ. Melchizedek is spoken of in the book of Genesis as a King and ‘High Priest of God’ (the first in the Bible to be identified as a priest) who offers a sacrifice of bread and wine in thanksgiving for Abraham’s victory after a battle. Melchizedek and his sacrifice of bread and wine have always been viewed as a prefigurement of Christ who, as both Priest and Victim, perpetuates His sacrifice on Calvary in the forms of bread and wine at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in which those simple elements of bread and wine are changed into His Body and Blood at the hands of His priests. This line from Psalm 110 is often ascribed to the Sacred Priesthood of Christ, of which I am unworthily privileged to share in. This coming Thursday, June 12th, by the grace and goodness of Almighty God, I will celebrate 10 years of priesthood! It is truly a momentous occasion for me personally, as it gives me an opportunity to appreciate how blessed I have been in my priesthood, unworthy as I am to share in this sublime vocation Christ has called me to, to bear the Cross with Him, and to experience the immense joy of what it means to be a priest! I am particularly grateful to the Blessed Mother, without whom I would not be a priest today. She is such a good, loving Mother, and we need Her guidance and intercession to remain even more faithful to Her Son! Please pray to Her for me that I might be the good, holy priest God wants me to be! When I was ordained, I did not become a priest for myself. God called me to become a priest for the people of God’s Church, as is the case with all priests! As Venerable Fulton J. Sheen said, “The priest is not his own!” And what a magnificent gift the priesthood is! How much God loves us to give us the priesthood! To call men to act in persona Christi (i.e., in the person of Christ) to bring us the Sacraments, to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass, to refresh us with the gift of Himself in the Eucharist, to forgive us our sins, to baptize our children, to witness marriages, to console us in the hour of death! How great the gift of the priesthood, which, as St. John Vianney said, “is the love of the Heart of Jesus”! I am incredibly blessed, unworthy as I am, to share in the priesthood of Christ. I know that I fall short on a daily basis. I am not perfect. I have been a failure on many occasions. My dear flock, I am truly sorry for any times in which I have failed you. I cannot thank you all enough for your kindness and goodness to me as your pastor. Over the past (almost) 5 years at Guardian Angel and St. Ambrose, I have experienced MANY blessings from God, and so many of those blessings have come from the love, kindness, and patience you have shown to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! To celebrate my 10 year anniversary of ordination to the priesthood, I will celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on Thursday, June 12th, at 6:00pm at Guardian Angel in Oran, followed by a meal and celebration at the KC Hall, complete with the Fr. Kelly Band! You ALL are invited to come! And let me emphasize that this isn’t a celebration of me…this is a celebration of the priesthood! Without the priesthood, we don’t have the Eucharist; and without the Eucharist, we don’t have a Church. So, let us celebrate Christ’s gift of the priesthood with great joy! God bless you all, and I hope to see many of you there on Thursday! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever! –Fr. Kelly
