| HOLY ORDERS |
| There are 3 Major Orders: 1. The Subdiaconate 2. The Diaconate 3. The Priesthood They are called major or sacred because of their dignity, powers, and obligations. Of these orders, two are sacramental, namely, the diaconate and the priesthood: only these two orders imprint upon the soul the indelible mark of priesthood, that is, special similarity with Christ, the divine High Priest. The features of the preceding ordinations remain: 1. the call, 2. the instruction, 3. the bestowal of the office, and 4. prayer. Now... please join me to remember the gracefilled events in my life!
