The Catholic Parish of Holy Family
The character of Jesus is given in a special way to those called by God to be Bishops, Priests, Deacons.
The Priest acts in the person of Jesus by teaching and explaining, by blessing and consecrating and by leading the communities of Faith, like Jesus the Good Shepherd.
Today the word "ordination" is reserved for the sacramental act which integrates a man into the order of bishops, presbyters, or deacons, and goes beyond a simple election, designation, delegation, or institution by the community, for it confers a gift of the Holy Spirit that permits the exercise of a "sacred power" ( sacra potestas ) which can come only from Christ himself through his Church
( Catechism of the Catholic Church 1538).
