I love quotes... you know that by now. :) But when I find one this moving, how can I not share it?
"My children, we know when a soul has worthily received the Sacrament of the Eucharist, it is so drowned in love, so penetrated and changed, that it is no longer to be recognised in its words or its actions... It is humble, it is gentle, it is mortified, charitable, and modest; it is at peace with everyone. It is a soul capable of the greatest sacrifices; in short, you would not know it again."

—St John Vianney, special patron of this "Year for Priests"
(Quote found at this blog, where there is also an insightful article about the recent persecution of the Holy Father and the clergy scandal.)
On a completely non-related note, I noticed that I've just exceeded 500 posts: this is my 501st entry here. :)
