Holy Orders
-
Holy Orders is the sacrament through which men receive the power and grace to perform the sacred duties of bishops, priests, and other ministers of the Church.
-
If you are a man and believe God has called you to devote your life to the sacred ministry.
-
A man may receive Holy Orders worthily if
he is in the state of grace and be of excellent character;
he has the prescribed age and learning;
he has the intention of devoting his life to the sacred ministry;
he is called to Holy Orders by his bishop.
If anyone is eager for the office of bishops, he desires a good work. A bishop then, must be blameless, married but once, reserved, prudent, of good conduct, hospitable, a teacher, not a drinker or a brawler, but moderate, not quarrelsome, not avaricious. (I Timothy 3:1-3)
