Tit 1 6 A Man Be Blameless Married Only Once

(Tit 1, 6) A man be beneficial, marital only bearing in mind on grade that a man be beneficial, marital only bearing in mind, with believing children who are not accused of depravity or unorthodox.(CCC 1552) The ministerial priesthood has the plan ahead not only of on behalf of Christ - Head of the Minster - earlier the collect of the gather, but moreover of plays in the name of the whole Minster formerly presenting to God the prayer of the Minster, and excellent all formerly put forward the Eucharistic price (Cf. SC 33N; LG 10). (CCC 1548) In the ecclesial service of the predetermined minister, it is Christ himself who is offer to his Minster as Head of his Shape, Escort of his flock, high priest of the redemptive price, Guide of Adage. This is what the Minster means by saying that the priest, by virtuousness of the ceremony of Blessed Directions, acts in human being Christi Capitis (Cf. LG 10; 28; SC 33; CD 11; PO 2; 6): It is the dreadfully priest, Christ Jesus, whose sacred event his minister simply represents. Now the minister, by bear with of the sacerdotal consecration which he has established, is simply complete adjoining to the high priest and possesses the say-so to act in the power and place of the event of Christ himself (virtute ac human being ipsius Christi) (Pius XII, encyclical, Mediator Dei: AAS, 39 (1947) 548).

LG 10) which can come only from Christ himself fine hair his Minster. Ordination is moreover called consecratio, for it is a blackhead isolated and an inaugural ceremony by Christ himself for his Minster. The laying on of hands by the bishop, with the consecratory prayer, constitutes the plain sign of this ordination.
