However, while a
Bishop can ordain a
Deacon and a Priest on
his own accord, he
needs the Pontifical
Mandate, and two other
consecrating Bishops, to
ordain another Bishop,
lest both are
excommunicated.
DEACON:
Receives the Gospel,
sign of his mission
to preach the Good News.
PRIEST:
Receives the Paten and Chalice,
symbols of his power
to celebrate the Eucharist.
BISHOP:
Receives the Ring, sign of his fidelity to
the Church; the Miter, of his authority;
and the Crosier, of his jurisdiction.
DEACON:
“Send forth upon him, Lord, we pray, the Holy Spirit, that he may be strengthened
by the gift of your sevenfold grace for the faithful carrying out of the work of the
ministry.”
PRIEST:
“Grant, we pray, Almighty Father, on this, your servant, the dignity of the
priesthood; renew deep within him the Spirit of holiness; may he henceforth
possess this office which comes from you, O God, and is next in rank to the office
of Bishop; and by the example of his manner of life, may he instill right conduct.”
BISHOP:
“Pour out now upon this chosen one that power which is from you, the Spirit of
governance whom you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Spirit whom he
bestowed upon the holy Apostles, who established the Church in each place as
your sanctuary for the glory and unceasing praise of your name.”
