He urged them to follow the example of Saint John Vianney, who, though lacking in great intellectual gifts, was a "humble man" whose only wish was "the salva- tion of souls." "In the heart of every priest must be the love of Jesus Christ," he said to them. Archbishop Aquila also exhorted them, paraphrasing Pope Francis, to "go into the peripheries of the world … of the lives of so many who have abandoned Jesus Christ, who do not know the good news. Even among families and friends there are those in the peripheries who still don't know Jesus Christ." Later, he reminded them that their ministry does not consist in boasting of themselves: "We are called to serve Jesus and to serve the Church to lay down our lives as Jesus has laid down his life, and to go wherever we are called to serve Christ." He also pointed out that the image of Jesus, the good shepherd, "must be your model and is the model for the priesthood." And as a model of love and perse- verance, the archbishop invited them to look at those couples who have been married for 50 or 60 years, and com- pared their love to "the same type of love that would enable you to feed the lambs, tend the sheep, and serve as Christ served," he said. He told them that every time they celebrate Mass it will be "the same sacrifi ce that Christ oš ers on the cross", and that is where "the joy of the Gospel" is found. Hundreds of faithful congregated in the Cathedral to witness these ordina- tions. The cultural diversity present was a sign of the universality of the Church. There was a large delegation from Santo Domingo and several from Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as hundreds of local people who accompanied these fi ve new priests. The archbishop asked from them, once again quoting Pope Francis, that they would be shepherds that "smell like the sheep," so they can "accompany them, sharing with them, going out with them and always using Jesus as your model."
