From the moment of Jesus' conception in the womb of Mary until his Resurrection, he was filled with the Holy Spirit. In biblical language, he was anointed by the Holy Spirit and thus established by God the Father as our high priest. As Risen Lord, he remains our high priest. . . . While all the baptized share in Christ's priesthood, the ministerial priesthood shares this through the Sacrament of Holy Orders in a special way.
Becoming a priest or a man or woman religious is not primarily our own decision.... Rather it is the response to a call and to a call of love. - Pope Francis, Address to Seminarians and Novices, July 6, 2013
