"We need priests especially who have encountered Christ in a most personal and committed way both from within the experience of their own culture and from within their personal experience of the living Christian tradition which they have inherited. Only such persons can truly communicate Christ and his mystery to their own people. These are the type of future priests we need to build up the local Church and make the faith a culture that is fully accepted."
