Sit Sit FIRST READING ISAIAH 61:1-3 CALLING OF THE CANDIDATES Those to be ordained are called to stand before the Archbishop and the assem- RESPONSORIAL PSALM bly. In leaving their place among the deacons, they enter now a transitional phase and a transitional space in their journey to the Order of Presbyter. Psalm 84

PRESENTATION OF THE CANDIDATES In dialogue with the Archbishop, testimony is offered that these candidates have received and embraced formation for this important ministry in the Church and that we find them prepares and ready to live the life of priestly service.

ELECTION BY THE AND CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE Hearing and accepting this testimony, the Archbishop calls these men to ordination. The members of the assembly, God’s priestly people, affirm, support and, as the Church, join in with the Archbishop’s call with applause.

HOMILY The Archbishop breaks open for the candidates and for all in the assembly the SECOND READING 1 PETER 5:1-7 Word of God as we heard it in the Scriptures and shares insights into the opportunities and challenges ahead for these men called to the priesthood. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Stand PROMISES OF THE ELECT The elect rise and stand before the Archbishop who questions all of them together. They promise to offer their lives in service to the Church. They also promise obedience to the diocesan bishop, to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, to live as a celibate, to preach the Gospel in word and deed, and to foster his spiritual growth as a leader among God's people.

EXAMINIATION OF THE CANDIDATES Having heard what is expected in priestly service, these men respond with full and free consent before God and the Church.

PROMISE OF OBEDIENCE Called for service to the Church and participating in the ministry of the GOSPEL LUKE 22:14-20, 24-30 Archbishop, these men continue to show their resolve to serve by making a promise of obedience to the bishop of this diocese now and in the future. Kneel

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND PRAYER OF ORDINATION LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST The heart of the ritual now takes place. The Archbishop lays his hands upon the head of each of the elect in silence. This ancient ritual expresses the invocation PREPARATION OF THE GIFTS of the Holy Spirit and the granting of authority and responsibility. The Archbishop then offers the prayer of ordination to the Order of Presbyter. Sacerdotes Domini

All respond “Amen” to this prayer. PREFACE ACCLAMATION

Then all are seated.

INVESTITURE WITH THE STOLE AND CHASUBLE After the prayer of ordination, the newly ordained are visibly incorporated into their new order of service as another priest helps them remove the vesture of a deacon and they wear, for the first time, the vesture of priests. The stole is a symbol of the clerical state. The chasuble is worn over the stole and is a symbol of the virtue of charity to which all are called.

ANOINTING OF HANDS This anointing with Sacred Chrism becomes a sign of the sanctifying ministry of a priest in service to his people.

HANDING OVER OF THE BREAD AND WINE The sacramental ministry of the priest at the altar, “in persona Christi,” is high- lighted as, for the first time, the newly ordained receive the gifts of the people that will be transformed, by his ministry, into the Body and Blood of Christ.

FRATERNAL KISS This final gesture of incorporation into the priestly life is shown as the candidates are welcomed into the Order of Presbyter first by the Archbishop and then by their brother priests.
