This book speaks of ministry in all its ordained forms as priestly because it makes the fundamental point that the Church is essentially the priestly body of Jesus Christ, our great High Priest. Priestly ministry is more about who you are than what you do. The primary vocation of a priest is to grow in holiness; that is, to try to become more and more Christ-like. This book contains much to guide, enlighten and nourish not only priests and people thinking of ordination, but all Christians, because the Christian life can properly be described as a priestly life. In a short space Fr Hugh covers much ground and goes deep. There are no wasted words and no trace of superficiality.
