The man who is ordained receives a gift from the Holy Spirit that gives him a sacred authority that is conferred upon him by Christ through the bishop. Being a priest does not mean just assuming an office or a ministry. Through Holy Orders a priest receives as a gift a power and mission for his brothers and sisters (YouCat 249; CCC, 1538). The sacrament of Holy Orders can only be received by baptized Catholic men (CCC, 1577-1579).
