Several participants spoke about the issues faced by priests today, and the council's vocational commission gave a presentation. The secretary from the Portuguese conference, Jesuit Father Manuel Morujão, stated that "the definition of a priest is not the function or the task he performs." He affirmed that a priest is a "human being who specializes in God" in order to serve others twenty-four hours a day. Father Morujão added that the priest must be "an expert in the art of encountering God," and for this reason he must know how to "draw on the Eucharist as his highest expression of fulfillment."
