You have given me all;

Give me the strength to give more."

Friends,
Here is the meaning of the Latin words on this German card, which appears to be a remembrance of an ordination ...
Above the crown of thorns and cross:
"You are a priest forever."
Partially hidden under the stole:
"Upon this rock"
Words from Psalm 116 [115 in some bibles] on the front of the altar:
"What return can I make to the Lord? I will take up the chalice of salvation and will call upon the name of the Lord."
John
What a beautiful holycard for a priest..also a wonderful card to put in one's prayerbook to remind us to pray for priests each day.

John - Looks like we welcomed you back with a lot of translating. Thank you for adding to the message of this card.
Diane - Great idea D. We certainly see the need for our prayers. Thanks.
Our Priests need all the prayers we can make for them!
diddleymaz - So true. We are already seeing churches combine because of the lack of priests.
