Holy Orders
The sacrament of Holy Orders communicates a sacred power which is none other than that of Christ. By reason of the sacrerdotal consecration which he has received, the priest possesses the authority to act in the power and place of the person of Christ himself when presenting to God the prayer of the Church, and above all when offering the Eucharistic sacrifice.
If you have a feeling that God may be calling you to the priesthood, take a first step in faith and talk about it with your parish priest. He will help you along the path of discerning your vocation. And if someone you know has the feeling, help him take that first step!
