🔥WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ORDINATION?🔥
📌Why be ordained? What is the main purpose of this ceremony? Here are the five main reasons for the ordination ceremony.📌
🌟FIRST:
Ultimately, the purpose of ordination is to consecrate ministers to perpetuate Christ's mission on earth and guide the community of believers.
🌟SECOND:
Secondly, the fundamental role of ordination is to identify the minister with Christ, making him an official representative of Christ on earth, in the universal Church and in the local church. Thus, through this ceremony, the priest or minister becomes a living image of Christ for his community.
🌟THIRD:
The third objective of ordination is to ensure the continuity of the spiritual mission that Christ entrusted to his Church: through this act, the Church of Jesus Christ directly perpetuates the pastoral authority given by Jesus to his apostles.
⛔️Note: “Ordained ministry is not an honorary privilege, but a total commitment to the service of the Word and the Christian community.”
🌟FOURTH:
Fourth, ordination confers upon the candidate the spiritual and ecclesiastical authority necessary to carry out sacred missions (for example, blessing a marriage and celebrating a baptism); the ordained minister also receives the official power to carry out spiritual and ecclesiastical missions within the Church, the Body of Christ.
🌟FIFTH:
Fifth, the act or ceremony of ordination serves to officially and publicly present the new minister of God, consecrated in the presence of his community so that he may be honored and respected within it and in the Church, the body of Christ. This means that one who does not follow this process, this act, may certainly serve God, but he will face the question of honor, respect, and credibility in the exercise of his ministry.
