And rightly so, They have completed more than 10 years of formation in theology, philosophy, and humanities; they have carried out pastoral and apostolic work; and, perhaps most importantly, they have persisted in following the call God made to each of them, in their own time and in their own way, which meant renouncing many other worldly things.

It needs priests who are neither well-placed \u00a0nor accommodated. It needs priests who know how to create, who know how to undertake, who know how to have initiative, who know how to give everything for the mission with an overwhelming zeal for the salvation of souls. Pope Benedict XVI, in the moments of our greatest trial, in the hardest and most difficult moments, told us firmly and forcefully, settling doubts and concerns: there you will find a charism and the new emerging society must be saved.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Church, in the midst of renewal, needs zealous and well-grounded priests, courageous, not well-off, not sedentary, who know how to take on new projects, have activity and initiative, who know how to give everything for the mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Mass and the rites involved with ordination (the presentation and election of the ordinands; the bishop&#8217;s address; the interrogation of the ordinands; the litany of the saints; the anointing with holy chrism; the distribution of the Gospels; the paten and chalice) took place amidst palable thanksgiving to God. As the Mass ended, the new priests came together for a group photo. At that moment, resounding applause from those present rang throughout the Basilica, a clear manifestation of the emotional intensity of the
