”Piety is the summit of a priest’s character“
Spirituality is the primary and cored formation of a seminarian. He is religiously trained to be spiritual-minded in all things he does. By this, he then practices the true love of Christ, through spiritual activities, constituting a bigger part of his time. Like the rosaries, novenas, meditations, and Benedictions which are all centered daily celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The chapel takes the most important station for him to develop his Divinity with the spiritual conferences and its sanctifying aura, the tools of his precious vocation.
By his prayer life can we anticipate if he is going to succeed or not. It is the behind-the-scenes story of his situation tomorrow.

The Apostles' Creed

|
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived b the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

"The Mass is the most perfect form of prayer!" (Pope Paul VI)
For each Mass we attend with devotion, Our Lord sends a saint to comfort us at death. (Revelation of Christ to St. Gertrude the Great)
Pader Pio, the astigmatic priest, said, "The world could exist more easily without the sun than without the Mass."
The Cure d'Ars, St. Jean Vianney, said, " If we knew the value of the Mass, we would die of joy."
Once St. Teresa was overwhelmed with God's goodness and asked Our Lord, "How can I thank you?" Our Lord replied, "Attend one Mass."
