Father Wathen preaches on the subject that it is God who chooses His priests and prophets, and we should not follow men who have claimed this authority outside of the Holy Catholic Church. He explains the calling of Moses, Isaias, and Jeremias in the Old Testament, and the calling of the Apostles in the New Testament. The reverence that ought to be shown to priests when they visit the home, as Jesus commanded that His Apostles, when they were still his disciples, be respected by the people. St. Paul's instructions to St. Timothy.
May the Four Holy Crowned Martyrs pray for us!
