Classic biography of Cardinal Samuel Stritch (1887-1958), who served as archbishop of Chicago and Cardinal.'Samuel A. Stritch was a priest for forty-eight years and it can be said in all truth that his life was concentrated and wholly spent in the priesthood. When as a young man he felt the first stirrings of his priestly vocation, he began to reflect and meditate assiduously on the priesthood. Even in those early years he seemed to understand fully that in the Catholic Church there is only one High Priest, Christ Himself, and each individual priest is 'another Christ.' This expression was for him the definition of the priest; he was fond of recalling it and commenting upon it, with a wealth of doctrine and warmth of spirit, whenever he spoke to priests.'
