Summary/Abstract: John Paul II asserts that evangelical counsels overcome temptations in the three essential areas of human existence: power, possession, and sexuality. In the life of the priest Christian radicalism comes from the call of Christ to follow him and imitate him in life and service to man. They contain its paschal dimension because they involve identification with Jesus, his death and resurrection. The priest who practices the evangelical counsels is a witness and sign of the Kingdom of God, where God will satisfy all the noble desires as well as the expectations of man.
