O Sacerdos, quid es tu?
Non est a te, quia de nihilo,
Non es ad te, quia mediator ad Deum,
Non es tibi, quia sponsus ecclesiae,
No es tui, quia servus omnium,
Non es tu, quia Dei minister,
Quid es ergo? Nihil et omnia,
O Sacerdos.
What are you, O priest?
You are not your own creation, because you come from nothing,
You do not exist to yourself alone, because you are an intercessor before God.
You do not exist for yourself alone, because you are married to the Church.
You do not belong to yourself, because you are the servant of all.
You are not just you, because you are God's minister.
What are you then? Nothing and everything, O Priest.
