What special graces and powers does a priest receive through the Sacrament of Holy Orders?

The Priest: receives the power of forgiving sin and of offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. He is made another Christ; a living representative of the Redeemer, Whose work he continues..Catholic AnswerThe priest receives all the graces that he needs to fulfill his role as an "alter Christus" (another Christ) for the people. As their priest he may perform all the sacraments, except Holy Orders. He may only administer Confirmation under special circumstances or with the permission of the his Bishop. The Sacrament of Holy Orders configures the recipient to Christ by a special grace of the Holy Spirit so that he may act as a representative of Christ in his triple office of priest, prophet, and King. He is configured to Christ as Priest, Teacher, and Pastor. from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941548 In the ecclesial service of the ordained minister, it is Christ himself, who is present to his Church as Head of his Body, Shepherd of this flock, high priest of the redemptive sacrifice, Teacher of Truth. This is what the Church means by saying that the priest, by virtue of the sacrament of Holy Orders, acts in persona Christi Capitis; (Cf. Lumen Gentium 10; 28; Sacrosanctum concilium 33; Christus Dominus 11; Prsbyterorum ordinis 2; 6)Is it he same priest, Christ Jesus, whose sacred person his minister truly represents. Now the minister, by reason of the sacerdotal consecration which he has received, is truly made like to the high priest and possesses the authority to act in the power and place of the person of Christ himself (virtute ac persona ipsius Christi). Pius XII, encylical, Mediator Dei: Acta Apostolicae Sedis, 39 {1947} 548)Christ is the source of all priesthood: the priest of the old law was a figure of Christ, and the priest of the new law acts in the person of Christ. (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa TheologiaeIII, 22, 4c.


What is the formula in Holy Orders?

Catholic AnswerFrom the old Rite (pre-Vatican II) for the ordination of priests: As said, the minister of the Sacrament of Holy Orders is the Bishop, and the matter of the Sacrament is the imposition of hands, which takes place during the beautiful ceremony of ordination. The form of the Sacrament is the words: Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty Father, to these Thy servants, the dignity of the Priesthood; renew the spirit of holiness within them, so that they may hold from Thee, O God, the office of the second rank in Thy service and by the example of their behavior afford a pattern of holy living.Latin:Da, quaesumus, omnipotens Pater, in hos famulos tuos presbyterii dignitatem. Innova in visceribus eorum spiritum sanctitatis, ut acceptum a te, Deus, secundi meriti munus obtineant; censuramque morum exemplo suae conversationis insinuent.The Bishop imposes his hands on the man being ordained and then recites the prayer for ordination over him. The prayer itself is the formula.

In the Christian churches, holy orders are ordained ministries such as bishop, priest or deacon. In the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, Assyrian, Old Catholic, Independent Catholic and some Lutheran churches, holy orders comprise the three ministerial orders of bishop, priest and deacon, or the sacrament or rite by which candidates are ordained to those orders.

Can you take bread and wine at mass if you have not made your First Holy Communion?

.Catholic AnswerAfter the consecration (the prayer the priest says at the altar) there is no more bread and wine. All of it is entirely changed (a process known as transubstantiation) into the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. You may only receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion after you are old enough to recognize the difference between bread and wine and Our Blessed Lord's Body and Blood. When you are old enough to know the difference, then you must make your first Confession, and first Holy Communion. And then you receive it, you never take it. Only protestants "take" Communion. Catholics "receive" Holy Communion - there is a HUGE difference.
