Question

What does the phrase in persona Christi mean to a priest's daily

Answer 1

Answer:

The phrase in persona Christi means in body of christ's. Within Catholicism, it represents the embodiment of the core values and sacrifices of Jesus Christ for humanity. To a ministry, it represents the sacrifice of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for the sins of humanity, and it reflects what the ministry is willing to do to embody that sacrifice.
