Primary relationships in the life of a priest

Sažetak
This article seeks to delineate the personality and service of priests as “servants of Christ”, building on Pope Francis’ address on the four fundamental forms of closeness, or rather the relationships in the life of a priest: the relationship with God, with the bishop, with other priests and with people. Reflecting first on today's crisis of the priesthood, it points out the inseparability of a priest’s service and life by drawing on the Gospel, the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, Francis’ address and some theological interpretations of personality in priests. It is an endeavor to present priests – understood as such by themselves and by others – as people whose lives have been touched by the Gospel of Jesus and who are faithful witnesses of the Gospel.
