<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat does it mean to be a priest today?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It means the same as always: to offer, for oneself and for the Christian and human community, the Sacrifice of Christ in each specific time and with the community with whom one walks. It is to sanctify the People of God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sacrifice of Christ is the Eucharist, and it is the life that is shared with those who need to be listened to, cared for materially and spiritually\u2026 It is imitating Jesus sacramentally and also in one's interpersonal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Share a detail about the Spirituality of the Most Precious Blood that you appreciate.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Just like on the day of my ordination, there was a phrase from the Gospel of Saint Luke (Lk 19:5-6): "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I could say that Jesus tells me, \u201cCome down quickly, for I have already shed My Blood for you too, and I want you to proclaim it with words and deeds in your community.\u201d And to strive to be available to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What mission does the Church challenge you to?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Church of Jesus challenges me to live the mission within the paths of the Missionaries of the Most Precious Blood. This was the commitment I made. This is what I seek to live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, I am serving as the bursar for the Iberian Province CPPS (Spain, Guinea, and Portugal) and the community of Proen\u00e7a; I am chaplain of the Santa Casa da Miseric\u00f3rdia of Proen\u00e7a-a-Nova and parish priest. in solidum<\/em> From the parishes of Proen\u00e7a, Peral and S\u00e3o Pedro do Esteval. It is here that I envision my mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the future, I will seek to be available for other stages and other CPPS missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be a priest today is to live the same mission as always: to offer Christ, to sanctify the People of God, and to serve with the spirit of the Most Precious Blood.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":51249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":4,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,122,147],"tags":[82,92,93,152],"class_list":["post-51247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-preciosissimo-sangue","category-vida-consagrada","category-vocacoes","tag-missao","tag-missionarios-do-preciosissimo-sangue","tag-provincia-iberica-cpps","tag-vocacao-missionaria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51247"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51247"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51368,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51247\/revisions\/51368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cpps.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Pedra-do-altar-1.jpeg?wsr\")
