SVEĆENIK IZMEĐU ZVANJA I MISTIKE
PRIEST BETWEEN VOCATION AND MYSTICISM

Summary/Abstract: The article reflects on priest’s calling from the point of view of vocation and mysticism, passion and competence. Seven items comprise some essential aspects of priesthood: passion and competence in the human and in prayer, passion and competence in mysticism, priest as a formed person who has found his permanent character (‘character indelebilis’), passion and competence in the prophetic and in spiritual guidance. All the mentioned aspects show that a priest is both doomed and blessed almost to the point where he cannot and will not identify and understand himself without God; in his intimate-private and public-social life. This kind of a priest can and should even today be a blessing for a modern man.
