Every Christian is therefore called, in a way appropriate to his or her state in life, to live according to the Gospel and to give himself or herself to Christ in order to cooperate in his or her mission. In so doing, they exercise the royal priesthood they received at baptism.<\/p><p>But Father Chevrier had a special thought for diocesan priests, asking them to live their ministry in conformity with Christ. \"The priest is another Christ\" (Tableau de Saint-Fons). Our Blessed Founder invites us to exercise our ministry by following the example of Jesus:\u00a0<em>\"I have set you an example, so that as I have done, you too may do\".<\/em>\u00a0(Jn 13).<\/p><p><strong>A secular priest's spirituality: the Pradosian vocation is part of the vocation to the ministerial priesthood.\u00a0<\/strong>An evangelical, apostolic and priestly spirituality can certainly be lived within the framework of a religious congregation; but, in fact, the Pradosian spirituality is a spirituality of secular priests for three reasons:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Presence to men<\/strong>Jesus, both in Nazareth and in his public life, wanted to perfectly realise this presence to mankind, which is a constitutive element of the mystery of the Incarnation. \"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us\". Thus, the secular priest is called to live his apostolate as a priest in the midst of people and with them. Through the ministry he has received, he makes Christ present to people. Then Christ himself can save them through the ministry of the priest.<\/li><li><strong>With the<\/strong>\u00c9<strong>and in communion with him<\/strong>. It is from him that he receives his mission. The commitments he makes: poverty, chastity, obedience, do not distance him from his diocese; on the contrary, they commit him to live more intensely the mission at the service of the diocese in an evangelical way, to make the Gospel grow in the hearts of the poor.<\/li><li><strong>In fraternity with the priests of the diocese<\/strong>. There is only one Priest, who is Christ Jesus, so all priests must be one in Him. Pradosian spirituality invites us to come together in small teams, each month with a suitable time, to share our progress in the knowledge of Jesus Christ thanks to the way of reading the Gospel inherited from Father Chevrier; to do a contemplative rereading of our pastoral action and our mission; to live a time of prayer. This nourishes fraternity.<\/li><\/ol><p>Christ sent his disciples out two by two. Pradosian spirituality points towards community life and community support. This includes fraternal life and support for our brother priests in the diocese. Wherever possible, the Bishop will facilitate team life centres bringing together Prado priests.\u00a0<strong>This community life can bear witness, within the diocesan clergy, to fraternity between priests, attachment to Christ, communion and dedication to the poor to proclaim God's love for the very young.<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prado's apostolic spirituality Here are the main lines of Prado's spirituality \u2192 An evangelical spirituality It is rooted in the Gospel, which means that its constant reference is the life of Christ and his teaching.
