“Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.  He is able to deal patiently with erring sinners, for he himself is beset by weakness and so must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.  One does not take this honor on his own initiative, but only when called by God as Aaron was.  Even Christ did not glorify Himself with the office of high priest: He received it from the One who said to Him: ‘You are a priest forever …” (Hebrews 5:1-6)

Holy Orders are the sacrament of service and love that addresses the “order of the Church".  This sacrament insures that the Church will act sacramentally, proclaiming the Gospel in word, sacrament, witness, and service.
