Dear Reader:
I had been orgained about twenty years when I first began to read what is now the book "To My Priests" ("A Mis Sacerdotes"). The text has been taken from the Spiritual Diary of the Mexican Mystic, Concepcion Cabrera de Armida. The words of "To My Priests" were written in the Person of Jesus of His own words to His beloved priests.I usually read a small section of this book each day. There is a treasure on every page. It never ceases to deepen my appreciation for my own gift of priesthood. It elevates my ideals and it constantly and in varied ways leads me to thank Jesus for choosing me to share in this precious vocation as His brother in the preiesthood.
Mary is infrequently mentioned, but by bringing me closer to Jesus, not only as my Lord and Master, but also as truly my brother in the priesthood, this book has helped to increase my love for Her as well.
I pray that this book will be a special gift of God for you, and bring you many blessings as it has to me.
