What special graces and powers does a priest receive through the Holy Orders?
Through the sacrament of Holy Orders, a priest receives the grace of the Holy Spirit which configures him to Christ in a special way. This includes the power to consecrate the Eucharist, forgive sins in the sacrament of Reconciliation, and administer other sacraments such as Baptism and Anointing of the Sick.
Why can priests today change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ?
Priests can change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ through the sacrament of the Eucharist, a practice rooted in the belief of transubstantiation. This doctrine holds that during the Mass, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the words of consecration, the substances of bread and wine are transformed into Christ's true presence. This ability is granted to priests through their ordination, which equips them to perform sacred rituals and act in the person of Christ. Ultimately, this reflects the continuation of Jesus' Last Supper and His command to "do this in remembrance of me."
Where did the Holy Spirit lead Jesus?
Christ Jesus was created by God through the Holy Spirit.
How is the Eucharist significant in the Catholic Church?
Catholic AnswerThe Eucharist is Jesus Christ, nothing more, nothing less, in other words, the Eucharist is God incarnate and bodily present in His Church. In the Eucharist, Jesus not only is with His Church, but He is His Church. Without the Eucharist, there is no Church, and without the Church there is no Eucharist. It is Our Blessed Lord present among us and feeding us and leading us to His Heavenly Father.from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994 1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." (Lumen Gentium 11)" The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." (Presbyterorum ordinis)1325 "the Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship men offer to Christ and through him to the Father in the Holy Spirit." (Congregation of Rites, instruction, Eucharisticum mysterium, 6)1326 Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all. (Cf. 1 Cor 15:28)
What song contains through him with him in him?
Through him with him in the unity of the holy spirit all glory and honor is yours forever and ever. its the song we sing before communion or eucharist (communion and eucharist are the same thing) It is actually the Doxology it isn't a hymn and is said during the consecration of the Eucharist by the priest and any other priests that may be in attendance it is not meant for the general congregation.
Who began confirmation?
Christ initiated what is now known as "confirmation". Confirmation began the day of Pentecost when Christ sent the Holy Spirit to be with the Apostles. Christ had already ascended into heaven. He sent the Holy Spirit to give the Apostles courage to spread the Word of God. It is through the indwelling of Spirit that we mature in our spiritual relationship with God.
What is the spirit of adoption during baptism in the Catholic Church?
This is from St. Paul's letter to the Romans where we receive a spirit of adoption during baptism through which we can now call God, Father:By dying with Christ in the waters of baptism and rising with him in a rebirth to new life, God makes us His adopted children, heirs to the life which Christ shares with the Father. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. . . . For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.(Rom 8:9-11, 14-17 )
Can you have the holy spirit with you but not in you?
No, when you accept Jesus Christ, you get the Holy Spirit inside of you thus, your body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. You cannot have the Holy Spirit with you, just in you. When you sin, and you have accepted Jesus Christ, you feel bad because the Holy Spirit inside of you is sad because you sinned. The Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is the Father, God. They are one.
How did St. Paul trust God?
St. Paul trusted in God through his faith in Jesus Christ, which guided his actions and decisions. He found strength in God's promises and believed that God would see him through any challenges or trials he faced. St. Paul's trust in God was deeply rooted in prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit.
