Lesson 15

Holy Orders: History and Celebration

Holy Orders is the Sacrament through which Christ continues His ministry in the Church until the end of time.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Vocation
    :
    A calling by God to holiness. Everyone has a permanent vocation in life, either to priesthood or religious life, marriage, or consecrated single life. We are all called to pursue holiness in every situation we find ourselves in life. (44, 944, 2021, 2253, 2461, 1593, 1661)
  • In persona Christi Capitis
    :
    In the Person of Christ the Head. When an ordained priest performs his priestly function—for example, when consecrating the Eucharist—he is no longer working as himself, but rather, “in the person of Christ the Head.” When we say “the Head,” we mean the Head of the Church. It is not the priest who transforms the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, but rather, Jesus Himself, working in and through the priest.
