"The title of this book, Priestly Spirituality - Treasures and Experiences is already a "loaded topic" that can call our attention today. The emergence of Renewal programs and the ASSIST Ministry for priests are indicators that we are in the right direction of helping priests grow and deepen our love for our priesthood. Fr. Franz-Josef Eilers, svd, with his many years of ministering to priests and seminarians, knows the realities and struggles of the priestly vocation. And as a professor of Priestly Spirituality, he has done something to help us to get in touch with the Papal Teachings/ Documents that address the different aspects of our vocation. His approach to the documents has made them attractive and relevant to our priestly situation today. The Commission on Clergy of the CBCP endorses and recommends this book to all our Clergy for our spiritual reading and inspiration. As Fr. Eilers stated: "This collection is not a book of studies. Rather, it wishes to animate in daily life and ministry. The different passages should be read and digested in a prayerful attitude..."
