The Sacrament of Holy Orders: A Sacred Calling
Fr. Don Miller, OFM
February 19, 2017
At our Baptism, the priest anointed us with sacred chrism and said that we were now identified with Jesus in his roles as priest, prophet, and king. As a priest, we are to offer sacrifice and we do this by participating in the Eucharist, offering both ourselves and the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father. As a prophet, we are to witness to the good news bringing peace and justice to all we meet. And as a king, we are to share in Jesus’ role of ordering all things toward the Father in the Holy Spirit.

I am determined to be a violet of humility, a rose of charity, and a lily of purity for Jesus.
