The Sacrament of Holy Orders

The Sacrament of Holy Orders is the continuation of Christ's priesthood, which He bestowed upon His Apostles; thus, the Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the Sacrament of Holy Orders as "the sacrament of apostolic ministry."

The catechism tells us that the priesthood was established by God as “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”. Through the ordained ministry, the presence of Christ as head of the church is made visible in the midst of the community of believers. “Only Christ is the true priest, the others being only His ministers” CCC1545.

El sacramento del Orden es la continuación del sacerdocio de Cristo, que Él ha comunicado a sus apóstoles; por lo tanto, el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica se refiere al sacramento del Orden como "el sacramento del ministerio apostólico"."

El catecismo nos dice que el sacerdocio fue establecido por Dios como "un reino de sacerdotes y una nación santa". A través del ministerio ordenado, la presencia de Cristo como cabeza de la iglesia se hace visible en medio de la comunidad de creyentes. "Sólo Cristo es el verdadero sacerdote, los demás son sus ministros" CCC1545.

There is only one Sacrament of Holy Orders, but it is comprised of three levels:

1. The Episcopate. It was presented to the Apostles by Christ himself. Bishops are conferred the grace to sanctify others as well as the authority to guide and teach the faithful.

2. The Priesthood. Priests promise obedience to their bishop and their successors at the time of their ordination and are united with the bishops to help minister to all of the faithful in their diocese. They are assigned to a parish community and are responsible for preaching the Gospel and celebrating the Eucharist.

3. The diaconate. Deacons are ministers ordained for tasks of service to the church and assist both bishops and priests.

There is only one Sacrament of Holy Orders, but it is comprised of three levels:

1. El Episcopado. Se confirió a los apóstoles por Cristo mismo. Los Obispos reciben la gracia para santificar a los demás, así como la autoridad para guiar y enseñar a los fieles.

2. El Sacerdocio. Sacerdotes prometen obediencia a su obispo y a sus sucesores en el momento de su ordenación y están unidos a los obispos para ayudar a atender a todos los fieles de su diócesis. Se asignan a una comunidad parroquial y son responsables de la predicación del Evangelio y la celebración de la Eucaristía.

3. El Diaconado. Los diáconos son ministros ordenados para las tareas de servicio a la iglesia y para ayudar tanto a los obispos como a los sacerdotes.
