MATTERS OF THE HOLY ORDERS
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
HOLY VESTMENTS
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
The three evangelical counsels or counsels of perfection
in Christianity are chastity, poverty, and obedience. As
Jesus of Nazareth stated in the Canonical gospels, they
are counsels for those who desire to become "perfect".
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
Obedience
Celibacy
Poverty
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
This requires dying to oneself, giving up what the priest
wants so that he could focus all his attention to serving
others. To submit their will to God for the sake of the
Gospel. (Not my will but your will be done)
OBEDIENCE
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
Is a gift from the Lord for the sake of the community. As a gift, it must
be nourished and taken care of through constant prayer and the
Eucharist. It is when a priest makes the vow of celibacy, he promises
that he will give hid undivided attention and total commitment to his
task as a servant.
CELIBACY
3 EVANGELICAL COUNSELS
Is a calling to all priests to pattern their lives after Christ
who was born poor, lived poor and died poor.
(Humbleness)
POVERTY

The essential matter that is needed in this sacrament are the following:
laying on of hands by the bishop
laying on the floor on prone position (face down) of the priests
bishop's specific consecratory prayer
- asking God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and his gifts proper to
the ministry to which the candidate is being ordained.
