From the Office of
Ordinary Time – just five weekends
before an early Ash Wednesday-
Easter season – we’ll look at the theol-
ogy of vocations as expressed in the
Church’s liturgy documents. The
Church as a whole is in a great need
of particularly priestly vocations and it
is a true blessing to have clergy here
that are committed to doing whatev-
er is needed to try to foster these vo-
cations. These columns will focus on
the Introductions to the liturgical rites
of the two sacraments of vocation:
Matrimony and Holy Orders. These
Sacraments “are directed towards
ute as well to personal salvation, it is
through service to others that they do
so. They confer a particular mission in
the Church and serve to build up the
People of God” (Catechism of the
Catholic Church, no. 1534). The sac-
rament of Holy Orders publicly brings
about a particular relationship be-
tween God and humanity: “[t]hrough
sacred Ordination certain of the
Christian faithful are appointed in the
name of Christ and receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit to shepherd the Church
with the word and grace of
God” (RO, no. 1). From the practice
of the Church throughout the centu-
ries, “it is clear that the laying on of
hands and the Prayer of Ordination
bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit and
impress a sacred character in such a
way that Bishops, priests, and dea-
cons are, in their respective ways,
conformed to Christ” (no. 6). In sacra-
mental word and gesture “the Bishop
blesses God and calls upon the gift of
the Holy Spirit for the fulfillment of min-
istry” (no. 6).
