Drawing on the words of St. Paul and a lifetime of pastoral experience, in Alter Christus, author John J. Gilchrist provides spiritual sustenance for priests of all ages and ministries. Personal and prayerful meditations touch on subjects that are at the heart of the daily life of a priest. Each meditation begins with the words of St. Paul. Msgr. Gilchrist then offers a brief commentary on the text. Following each reflection there are a number of brief quotes from commentators on the priesthood, ranging from the Fathers of the Church to Pope John Paul II.
