RITE OF ORDINATION

Sit CALLING OF THE CANDIDATES Those to be ordained are called to stand before the Archbishop and the assem- 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. 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 BISHOP 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 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. 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 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 LITANY OF SUPPLICATION The elect prostrate themselves before the altar as a sign of their submission to the will of God as the choir and congregation sing the Litany of Supplication invoking the help of God and the saints upon the elect and the Church.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. Saint Mich - ael, pray for us. Holy angels of God, pray for us. Saint John the Bap - tist, pray for us. Saint …. pray for us. Saint …. pray for us. All holy men and wo - men pray for us.

Lord, be mer - ci - ful, Lord, de - liv - er us we pray. From all e - vil, Lord, de - liv - er us we pray. From ev- ’ry sin, Lord, de - liv - er us we pray. From ev - er - last - ing death, Lord, de - liv - er us we pray.

Lord, have mer - cy. Lord, have mer - cy.

Lord, have mer - cy. Lord, have mer - cy.

Christ, have mer - cy. Christ, have mer - cy.

By your In- car -na - tion, Lord, de - liv - er us we pray. By your Death and Re- sur-re-ction, Lord, de - liv - er us we pray. By the outpouring of the Ho-ly Spi - rit, Lord, del - liv - er us we pray.

Be merciful to us sin - ners. Lord, we ask you hear our prayer. Govern and protect your Ho - ly Church, Lord, we ask you hear our prayer. Keep the Pope and all the ordained in faithful ser - vice to your Church, Lord, we ask you hear our prayer. Bless these cho-sen men, Lord, we ask you hear our prayer.

Christ, hear us. Christ, hear us.

Christ, gra - cious - ly hear us. Christ, gra - cious - ly hear us.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND PRAYER OF ORDINATION 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 of the Holy Spirit and the granting of authority and responsibility. The Archbishop then offers the prayer of ordination to the Order of Presbyter. All respond “Amen” to this prayer. 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.

GUIDELINES FOR THE RECEPTION OF COMMUNION FOR CATHOLICS As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to re ceive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (Code of Canon Law, canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all. FOR OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for us “that they may all be one” (John 17:21). Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 §4). Members of Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic Discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of Communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 §3). FOR THOSE NOT RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another. FOR NON-CHRISTIANS We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.
