1. LESSON: SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDER
1. The Sacrament of Holy Orders Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission
entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of
time: Thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate,
presbyterate, and diaconate.
2. The Sacrament of Holy Orders The word order in Roman antiquity designated an
established civil body, especially a governing body. Ordinatio means incorporation into an
ordo. In the Church there are established bodies which Tradition, not without a basis in
Sacred Scripture, has since ancient times called taxeis (Greek) or ordines. And so the liturgy
speaks of the ordo episcoporum, the ordo presbyterorum, the ordo diaconorum. Other groups
also receive this name of ordo: catechumens, virgins, spouses, widows,. . . .
3. The Sacrament of Holy Orders Integration into one of these bodies in the Church was
accomplished by a rite called ordinatio, a religious and liturgical act which was a consecration,
a blessing or a sacrament.
4. The Sacrament of Holy Orders Today the word "ordination" is reserved for the sacramental
act which integrates a man into the order of bishops, presbyters, or deacons It goes beyond a
simple election, designation, delegation, or institution by the community 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.
5. The Sacrament of Holy Orders Ordination is also called consecratio, for it is a setting apart
and an investiture by Christ himself for his Church. The laying on of hands by the bishop, with
the consecratory prayer, constitutes the visible sign of this ordination.
6. The priesthood of the Old Covenant The chosen people was constituted by God as "a
kingdom of priests and a holy nation.“ But within the people of Israel, God chose one of the
twelve tribes, that of Levi, and set it apart for liturgical service; God himself is its inheritance. A
special rite consecrated the beginnings of the priesthood of the Old Covenant. The priests are
"appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins."
7. The priesthood of the Old Covenant Instituted to proclaim the Word of God and to restore
communion with God by sacrifices and prayer, This priesthood nevertheless remains
powerless to bring about salvation, needing to repeat its sacrifices ceaselessly and being
unable to achieve a definitive sanctification, which only the sacrifice of Christ would
accomplish.
8. The priesthood of the Old Covenant The liturgy of the Church sees in: the priesthood of
Aaron and the service of the Levites, as well as in the institution of the seventy elders, a
prefiguring of the ordained ministry of the New Covenant. Thus in the Latin Rite the Church
prays in the consecratory preface of the ordination of bishops: God the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, . . . by your gracious wordyou have established the plan of your Church.From
the beginning, you chose the descendants of Abraham to be your holy nation.You established
rulers and priests,and did not leave your sanctuary without ministers to serve you. . . .
9. The priesthood of the Old Covenant At the ordination of priests, the Church prays: Lord,
holy Father, . . . when you had appointed high priests to rule your people,you chose other men
next to them in rank and dignityto be with them and to help them in their task. . . .you
extended the spirit of Moses to seventy wise men. . . . You shared among the sons of
Aaronthe fullness of their father's power.
10. The priesthood of the Old Covenant In the consecratory prayer for ordination of deacons,
the Church confesses: Almighty God . . . ,You make the Church, Christ's body,growto its full
stature as a new and greater temple.You enrich it with every kind of graceand perfect it with a
2. diversity of membersto serve the whole body in a wonderful pattern of unity.You established a
threefold ministry of worship and service,for the glory of your name.As ministers of your
tabernacle you chose the sons of Leviand gave them your blessing as their everlasting
inheritance.
11. The one priesthood of Christ Everything that the priesthood of the Old Covenant prefigured
finds its fulfillment in Christ Jesus, the "one mediator between God and men.“ The Christian
tradition considers Melchizedek, "priest of God Most High," as a prefiguration of the
priesthood of Christ, the unique "high priest after the order of Melchizedek"; "holy, blameless,
unstained,“ "by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified,“ that is,
by the unique sacrifice of the cross.
12. The one priesthood of Christ The redemptive sacrifice of Christ is unique, accomplished
once for all; yet it is made present in the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Church. The same is true
of the one priesthood of Christ; it is made present through the ministerial priesthood without
diminishing the uniqueness of Christ's priesthood: "Only Christ is the true priest, the others
being only his ministers."
13. Two participations in the one priesthood of Christ Christ, high priest and unique mediator,
has made of the Church "a kingdom, priests for his God and Father." The whole community of
believers is, as such, priestly. The faithful exercise their baptismal priesthood through their
participation, each according to his own vocation, in Christ's mission as priest, prophet, and
king. Through the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation the faithful are "consecrated to be
. . . a holy priesthood."
14. Two participations in the one priesthood of Christ The ministerial or hierarchical
priesthood of bishops and priests, and the common priesthood of all the faithful participate,
"each in its own proper way, in the one priesthood of Christ." While being "ordered one to
another," they differ essentially.
15. Two participations in the one priesthood of Christ In what sense? While the common
priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace –—a life of faith,
hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit— The ministerial priesthood is at the service of
the common priesthood. It is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians.
The ministerial priesthood is a means by which Christ unceasingly builds up and leads his
Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its own sacrament, the sacrament of Holy Orders.
16. In the person of Christ the Head In the ecclesial service of the ordained minister, it is Christ
himself who is present to his Church as Head of his Body, Shepherd of his flock, high priest of
the redemptive sacrifice, Teacher of Truth. This is what the Church means by saying that the
priest, by virtue of the sacrament of Holy Orders, acts in persona Christi Capitis: It is the same
priest, Christ Jesus, whose sacred person his minister truly represents. Now the minister, by
reason of the sacerdotal consecration which he has received, is truly made like to the high
priest and possesses the authority to act in the power and place of the person of Christ
himself (virtute ac persona ipsius Christi).Christ is the source of all priesthood: the priest of the
old law was a figure of Christ, and the priest of the new law acts in the person of Christ
17. In the person of Christ the Head Through the ordained ministry, especially that of bishops
and priests, the presence of Christ as head of the Church is made visible in the midst of the
community of believers. In the beautiful expression of St. Ignatius of Antioch, the bishop is
typos tou Patros: he is like the living image of God the Father
18. In the person of Christ the Head This presence of Christ in the minister is not to be
understood as if the latter were preserved from all human weaknesses, the spirit of
domination, error, even sin. The power of the Holy Spirit does not guarantee all acts of
ministers in the same way. While this guarantee extends to the sacraments, so that even the
minister's sin cannot impede the fruit of grace, in many other acts the minister leaves human
traces that are not always signs of fidelity to the Gospel and consequently can harm the
apostolic fruitfulness of the Church.
3. 19. In the person of Christ the Head This priesthood is ministerial. "That office . . . which the
Lord committed to the pastors of his people, is in the strict sense of the term a service.“ • It is
entirely related to Christ and to men. • It depends entirely on Christ and on his unique
priesthood; • It has been instituted for the good of men and the communion of the Church. The
sacrament of Holy Orders communicates a "sacred power" which is none other than that of
Christ. The exercise of this authority must therefore be measured against the model of Christ,
who by love made himself the least and the servant of all. "The Lord said clearly that concern
for his flock was proof of love for him."
20. “in the name of the whole Church" The ministerial priesthood has the task not only of
representing Christ —Head of the Church— before the assembly of the faithful, but also of
acting in the name of the whole Church when presenting to God the prayer of the Church, and
above all when offering the Eucharistic sacrifice.
21. "In the name of the whole Church" does not mean that priests are the delegates of the
community. The prayer and offering of the Church are inseparable from the prayer and
offering of Christ, her head; It is always the case that Christ worships in and through his
Church. The whole Church, the Body of Christ, prays and offers herself "through him, with
him, in him," in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to God the Father. The whole Body, caput et
membra, prays and offers itself Therefore those who in the Body are especially his ministers
are called ministers not only of Christ, but also of the Church. It is because the ministerial
priesthood represents Christ that it can represent the Church.
22. The Three Degrees of the Sacrament of Holy Orders "The divinely instituted ecclesiastical
ministry is exercised in different degrees by those who even from ancient times have been
called bishops, priests, and deacons.“ Catholic doctrine, expressed in the liturgy, the
Magisterium, and the constant practice of the Church, recognizes that there are two degrees
of ministerial participation in the priesthood of Christ: the episcopacy and the presbyterate.
The diaconate is intended to help and serve them.
23. The Three Degrees of the Sacrament of Holy Orders For this reason the term sacerdos in
current usage denotes bishops and priests but not deacons. Yet Catholic doctrine teaches
that the degrees of priestly participation (episcopate and presbyterate) and the degree of
service (diaconate) are all three conferred by a sacramental act called "ordination," that is, by
the sacrament of Holy Orders: Let everyone revere the deacons as Jesus Christ, the bishop
as the image of the Father, and the presbyters as the senate of God and the assembly of the
apostles. For without them one cannot speak of the Church.
24. The Celebration of This Sacrament Given the importance that the ordination of a bishop, a
priest, or a deacon has for the life of the particular Church, its celebration calls for as many of
the faithful as possible to take part. It should take place preferably on Sunday, in the
cathedral, with solemnity appropriate to the occasion. All three ordinations, of the bishop, of
the priest, and of the deacon, follow the same movement. Their proper place is within the
Eucharistic liturgy.
25. The Celebration of This Sacrament The essential rite of the sacrament of Holy Orders for all
three degrees consists in the bishop's imposition of hands on the head of the ordinand and in
the bishop's specific consecratory prayer asking God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and
his gifts proper to the ministry to which the candidate is being ordained
26. The Celebration of This Sacrament Since the sacrament of Holy Orders is the sacrament of
the apostolic ministry, it is for the bishops as the successors of the apostles to hand on the
"gift of the Spirit,“ the "apostolic line." Validly ordained bishops, i.e., those who are in the line
of apostolic succession, validly confer the three degrees of the sacrament of Holy Orders
27. The Celebration of This Sacrament "Only a baptized man (vir) validly receives sacred
ordination.“ The Lord Jesus chose men (ver) to form the college of the twelve apostles, and
the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry.
The college of bishops, with whom the priests are united in the priesthood, makes the college
4. of the twelve an ever-present and ever-active reality until Christ's return. The Church
recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the
ordination of women is not possible.
28. The Celebration of This Sacrament All the ordained ministers of the Latin Church, with the
exception of permanent deacons, are normally chosen from among men of faith who live a
celibate life and who intend to remain celibate "for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.“ Called
to consecrate themselves with undivided heart to the Lord and to "the affairs of the Lord," they
give themselves entirely to God and to men. Celibacy is a sign of this new life to the service of
which the Church's minister is consecrated; accepted with a joyous heart celibacy radiantly
proclaims the Reign of God.
29. The Celebration of This Sacrament In the Eastern Churches a different discipline has been
in force for many centuries: while bishops are chosen solely from among celibates, married
men can be ordained as deacons and priests. This practice has long been considered
legitimate; these priests exercise a fruitful ministry within their communities. Moreover, priestly
celibacy is held in great honor in the Eastern Churches and many priests have freely chosen it
for the sake of the Kingdom of God. In the East as in the West a man who has already
received the sacrament of Holy Orders can no longer marry.
30. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders The indelible characterThis sacrament
configures the recipient to Christ by a special grace of the Holy Spirit, so that he may serve as
Christ's instrument for his Church. By ordination one is enabled to act as a representative of
Christ, Head of the Church, in his triple office of priest, prophet, and king. As in the case of
Baptism and Confirmation this share in Christ's office is granted once for all. The sacrament of
Holy Orders, like the other two, confers an indelible spiritual character and cannot be repeated
or conferred temporarily.
31. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders The indelible characterIt is true that someone
validly ordained can, for grave reasons, be discharged from the obligations and functions
linked to ordination, or can be forbidden to exercise them; but he cannot become a layman
again in the strict sense, because the character imprinted by ordination is for ever.The
vocation and mission received on the day of his ordination mark him permanently.
32. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders The indelible characterSince it is ultimately
Christ who acts and effects salvation through the ordained minister, the unworthiness of the
latter does not prevent Christ from acting. St. Augustine states this forcefully: As for the proud
minister, he is to be ranked with the devil. Christ's gift is not thereby profaned: what flows
through him keeps its purity, and what passes through him remains clear and reaches the
fertile earth. . . . The spiritual power of the sacrament is indeed comparable to light: those to
be enlightened receive it in its purity, and if it should pass through defiled beings, it is not itself
defiled
33. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders The grace of the Holy Spirit The grace of the
Holy Spirit proper to this sacrament is configuration to Christ as Priest, Teacher, and Pastor,
of whom the ordained is made a minister.
34. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders For the bishop, this is first of all a grace of
strength ("the governing spirit": Prayer of Episcopal Consecration in the Latin rite): the grace
to guide and defend his Church with strength and prudence as a father and pastor, with
gratuitous love for all and a preferential love for the poor, the sick, and the needy.
35. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders This grace impels him to proclaim the Gospel
to all, to be the model for his flock, to go before it on the way of sanctification by identifying
himself in the Eucharist with Christ the priest and victim, not fearing to give his life for his
sheep: Father, you know all hearts.You have chosen your servant for the office of bishop.May
he be a shepherd to your holy flock,and a high priest blameless in your sight,ministering to
you night and day;may he always gain the blessing of your favorand offer the gifts of your holy
Church.Through the Spirit who gives the grace of high priesthoodgrant him the powerto
5. forgive sins as you have commanded,to assign ministries as you have decreed,and to loose
from every bond by the authority which you gave to your apostles.May he be pleasing to you
by his gentleness and purity of heart,presenting a fragrant offering to you,through Jesus
Christ, your Son. . . .
36. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders The spiritual gift conferred by presbyteral
ordination is expressed by this prayer of the Byzantine Rite. The bishop, while laying on his
hand, says among other things: Lord, fill with the gift of the Holy Spirithim whom you have
deigned to raise to the rank of the priesthood,that he may be worthy to stand without reproach
before your altar,to proclaim the Gospel of your kingdom,to fulfill the ministry of your word of
truth,to offer you spiritual gifts and sacrifices,to renew your people by the bath of rebirth;so
that he may go out to meetour great God and Savior Jesus Christ, your only Son,on the day of
his second coming,and may receive from your vast goodnessthe recompense for a faithful
administration of his order.
37. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders With regard to deacons, "strengthened by
sacramental grace they are dedicated to the People of God, in conjunction with the bishop
and his body of priests, in the service (diakonia) of the liturgy, of the Gospel, and of works of
charity."
38. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders Before the grandeur of the priestly grace and
office, the holy doctors felt an urgent call to conversion in order to conform their whole lives to
him whose sacrament had made them ministers. Thus St. Gregory of Nazianzus, as a very
young priest, exclaimed: We must begin by purifying ourselves before purifying others; we
must be instructed to be able to instruct, become light to illuminate, draw close to God to bring
him close to others, be sanctified to sanctify, lead by the hand and counsel prudently. I know
whose ministers we are, where we find ourselves and to where we strive. I know God's
greatness and man's weakness, but also his potential. [Who then is the priest? He is] the
defender of truth, who stands with angels, gives glory with archangels, causes sacrifices to
rise to the altar on high, shares Christ's priesthood, refashions creation, restores it in God's
image, recreates it for the world on high and, even greater, is divinized and divinizes.
39. The Effects of the Sacrament of Holy Orders And the holy Curé of Ars: "The priest
Continues the work of redemption on earth. If we really understood the priest on earth, we
would die not of fright but of love. The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus."
