About a decade after his great book ‘Le Sens de la vie monastique’, Louis Bouyer followed with another : ‘Le Sens de la vie sacerdotale’. Soon his ‘Introduction à la vie spirituelle’ came to complete the unique trilogy on the three ‘stages of life’: baptism, consecration and sacerdocy. Although Christian life is one, it is expressed in different ways according to the circumstances. So, ‘if the priest, as a priest, must have a specific quality in his spirituality, it is because he must, more than any other Christian, beware of specialization: as an apostle, he must be all things to all men, not only a man of the Church but the man of the Church: living the Christian mystery in its entirety, he who has drawn at the source in order to channel it to others’. The years have gone by since the publication of Louis Bouyer’s great book. The living conditions of the clergy, and its status, have changed – should we say declined? The penury of priests is a concern for the communities, especially since signs of revival are not yet visible. Father Bouyer’s book is remarkable in that it goes to the heart of the matter; it is a return to sources, to what he calls the Mystery: the Good News of Jesus-Christ, heralded in preaching and celebrated in our liturgy. The priest is, first and foremost, the man of the Word and the sacramental gesture in which God’s love for man is expressed. Only from such a wide and deep perspective can revival emerge.
