8. All the baptized,
empowered by the graces
received in Baptism and
Confirmation share in the
priesthood of Christ
through
CONSECRATION
MEDITATION
The unique high priest, according to the
order of Melchizedek. Christ fulfilled
everything that the priesthood of the Old
Covenant prefigured. He offered himself
once and for all (Heb 10:14), in a perfect
sacrifice upon the cross.
To concentrate means “to make holy or
sacred”. If we live holy lives, then we
actively share priesthood of Christ.
To be a meditator means to help bring
about a desired result (bridge, a way)
And
SACRIFICE
All of us have a cross to bear all; all of
experience pain and suffering. But it leads
contrary to pin our hope and trust to Him.

9. FOUR DIMENSIONS OF THE PRIEST

Church members.

Christi

Bishops
is conferred with the fullness of the
sacrament of Holy Orders. Bishops undertake
Christ’s own role as a teacher, shepherd and
high priest and act as His person.
RING- the sign of his fidelity

CROIZER- the staff of
office, shaped like a
shepherd’s crook.
MITER- the tall pointed hat that is
the bishop’s traditional vestment

{

12. THREE DIMENSIONS OF THE SACRAMENT
Deacons

serve the people of God in the service of the
liturgy, of the Gospel and of the works of charity.
BOOK OF GOSPELS- as a sign of the ministry of
preaching the Word.
STOLE- and the dalmatic, the liturgical
vestments of a deacon.

17. To be effective servantleaders are called to
develop a spiritually
founded on the three
evangelical counsels:
Obedience
Celibacy
And
Poverty
The three evangelical counsels or counsels of
perfection in Christianity are chastity, poverty,
and obedience. As Jesus of Nazareth stated in
the Canonical gospels, they are counsels for
those who desire to become "perfect".
This requires dying to oneself, giving up what the priest
wants so that he could focus all his attention to serving
others. To submit their will to God for the sake of the
Gospel. (Not my will but your will be done)
Is a gift from the Lord for the sake of the community.
As a gift, it must be nourished and taken care of
through constant prayer and the Eucharist. It is when a
priest makes the vow of celibacy, he promises that he
will give hid undivided attention and total commitment
to his task as a servant.
Is a calling to all priests to pattern their
lives after Christ who was born poor, lived
poor and died poor. (Humbleness)
