Always Seek to Be Truly Men of God, Prelate in Mozambique at Priestly Ordination

“Following Jesus' example, Priests must serve faithfully in their mission, accompanying and teaching the people of God with sacrifice and love,” the Prelate said, adding that Priesthood must be “from and for all”.

Addressing the newly ordained Priest, Archbishop Inácio asked for brightness, elegance and consistency in the performance of his duties, which he freely chose.

The Archbishop further invited the congregation present at the ordination ceremony to see God in Fr. Ramiro and to love and pray for their priests, “avoiding all kinds of gossip, slander and defamation”.

Visibly happy, the newly ordained Priest expressed his gratitude for becoming a Priest of the Dehonian Fathers, a dream he said he had always harbored.
