Montreal: the Grand Seminary



A cut finger pains the whole man. A pity to see these seminaries empty (and to consider the reasons why). There is now more work to be done than ever.

"Every true priest has the same heart-tearing pity as he flies over a great city such as Paris, New York or London. Down below he sees with Christ's eyes millions of souls unfed by the Eucharist, unhealed by Penance, living in houses built on sand because they know not the Rock. He sees in them what Our Lord saw when He looked at the multitudes - danger of eternal loss! Here are the countless acres ripe for harvesting, but how few the laborers to gather!"

-Archbishop Sheen
