Priestly Spirituality by Eleanore L. McLaughlin         A PDF of the booklet (no charge)
An early AP offering. It was reprinted with the permission of the "Anglican Theological Review." Mother McLaughlin closes the piece with this --

The cardinal image of priestly spirituality is the servant Lord dying on the cross, with the people on his heart. At the foot of the cross is another image, that of the Blessed Mother, not displacing her Son, but, by long tradition, a symbol for the contemplation of other aspects of the Mystery of the Incarnation. Mary also is a paradigm for priestly spirituality, especially for this grace to say yes to God in the world without knowing the outcome, to receive what is come into the world and bear it, and pray without ceasing over it.
Come abide with me
Let my soul like Mary
Be thine in earthly sanctuary.
