Abstract
As a contribution to the nine-year preparation for the 500 th Anniversary of the Evangelization of the Philippines, and specifically aligning with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines' dedication of the year 2018 to the renewal and ongoing formation of the clergy and consecrated persons, this essay attempts to mine the rich treasures of Pope Francis’ insights on the priesthood. The presentation explores these insights by focusing on ten pivotal themes and quoting extensively from the pope's own words. By synthesizing thirty-five of the most relevant documents that contain "priesthood material," the work serves as a practical, text-based resource to inspire, challenge, and renew the life and ministry of modern priests in accordance with the contemporary papal magisterium.
