GO REBUILD MY CHURCH - St. Paul Meets with the Ephesian Elders

St. Paul Meets with the Ephesian Elders - This week Peter and Leslie discuss the powerful gathering in Miletus between Paul and the elders of the church at Ephesus. St. Paul poured his heart out to these leaders and as he did, we are able to see the standard God gives to the Catholic priesthood. Paul offered himself as a model of godly leadership and gave five key aspects of his example. He also gave three exhortations to the Elders. Through St. Paul's virtuous leadership and his powerful exhortations, we can therefore develop eight specific prayers for our priests based on this encounter. Finally, Peter introduces the prayer St. Faustina prayed for priests. Amazingly, this prayer contains many of the aspects of St. Paul's address to the Ephesian Elders!
