Holy orders is when you want to be ordained as a priest, its not just all about becoming an ordained priest. It is also about being closer to christ, this is the sacrament of service. Even though you might not think we are priests we actually are, this is because in our baptism, each of us is called to share in christ's mission as priest, profit and king. Like baptism and confirmation, holy orders changes a persons life for ever.It is a life long commitment. Only men can receive holy orders, because Jesus chose only men to become priests, but both men and women also have important leadership roles in the church, such as nuns, education and health care. There are three degrees of ordained ministry in the church, ministry is a role in the church. Deacons assist bishop and priests, and are only able to perform baptism, and marriage. Priests are day to day care of the local parish, they celebrate Eucharist, marriage, baptism, anointing of the sick, and confession. Bishops are primary faith teachers, and they can celebrate all seven sacraments. During the mass the bishop anoints them with chrism oil so that they can bless the faithful and much more. In this sacrament you will receive a gospel from the bishop, this gospel symbolises responsibility to read and proclaim, you will also receive a paten and a chalice, this seals his rituals to become a priest. The priest lies straight on the floor while they pray that he will be spiritually supported. At the end the bishop lays his hand which symbolises the bishop confirming to sanctify. All the priests in the church also contribute to the laying of the hands to.
