In his fictional letters to the sisters and brothers in faith, Cardinal Müller explains the roots of the Church's priesthood in the New Testament, its purpose from Christ, and derives from this the theological, sacramental, and pastoral dimension of the priest as a living dialogue partner with the present. He thus enters into dialogue with his fellow brothers as well as with the laity who participate in the common priesthood. Historically verified and spiritually explored, the book offers a positive approach to the office, which also does not shy away from critical remarks. "First and foremost, I want to encourage you to carry out the work in the vineyard of the Lord calmly and serenely, with joy and gratitude." "Winning people for Christ, accompanying them on the path of following Christ, being ready to answer anyone who asks about the reason for our hope (1 Peter 3:15), involves much effort, sacrifice, and also disappointment. But this service also fills us with joy..." "The priest visibly represents the person of Christ as the head of the body, who is never effective without his body and its members. There is a community of action between the priest and the congregation in listening to the Word, in the worship of God, and in the petitions for grace and intercessions for the world.".
