Sacrament of Holy Orders  / Vocations

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...

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."   (CCC 1550-1551)

"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. "  (John 15:16)
