In Christianity, a priest is the mediator between God and humanity and has the authority to administer sacred and religious rites — the priest brings God to the ordinary people.
It takes 5 long and hard years for a priest to be trained, both physically and spiritually. What kind of person becomes a priest? Well, to begin with, would-be priests should be committed Christians who believe that Jesus has ‘called’ them to this work. They must have a real and deep love for God and be utterly devoted to following the teaching of Jesus Christ and sharing their faith with others. On a personal level, they should be friendly and caring, considerate, understanding, a good listener and someone with a genuine love and respect for all people.
