Synopsis:
Letters to My Brothers is a collection of 23 personal letters from Msgr Stephen Rossetti, former director of Saint Lukes Institute, to his brother priests. In a very personal and encouraging way, Rossetti writes to priests to affirm their dedication and generosity. He speaks to priests of all ages and theological perspectives, recognising the unique gifts that each one has to offer. He acknowledges the heavy demands priests face as they respond the challenges of an increasing workload, the secularisation of society, and the negative opinion many have of the priesthood in the wake of the sexual abuse scandal. Rossetti does not shy away from facing the power of evil and the reality of sin in the priesthood, but challenges priests to ongoing conversion through a stronger prayer life, a deeper devotion to Mary and greater care for their health and wellbeing. Through it all, Rossetti reminds his readers of what research has consistently borne outthat priests are happy and fulfilled in the priesthood. This joy is at the heart of their lives and ministry, and sharing it is their most effective witness.
