THINK-PAIR-SHAREThink of a time when a group that you were part of was given a task to do. y What was the task? y How did the group get it done? y Did different people do different things? Why or why not?

Each of us has a role to play in this world. Whatever role we take, we contribute to the betterment of the community we belong to.

During the Baptism of Jesus, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Him. The anointing by the Holy Spirit marked Jesus as priest, prophet, and king.

By Baptism, all of us share in the great mission of Jesus to bring about the reign of God. This means that each of us is called to live a holy life of service in our Church and in our world. (Read Luke 10:1-24) This call is named our Christian vocation.

Our anointing at Baptism makes us share in Christs role as priest, prophet, and king. We share in Christs priestly mission. This is known as the priesthood of the faithful.

In the priesthood of the faithful, each and every one of us is called to: Worship God. Spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Serve one another and the Church.

How is priesthood of the faithful different from ministerial priesthood?

In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, priests and bishops become members of the ordained priesthood. They participate in Christs priestly mission in a special way. They receive the grace to act in the name of and in the person of Christ.

Being part of the priesthood of the faithful is not the same as being ordained priest. However, members of the priesthood of the faithful work with ordained priests to lead and care for Gods people.

As baptized Catholics, Jesus calls us to work for the reign of God in whatever vocation we choose. These are some of the vocations to which Jesus calls His people: married people, single people and ordained ministers.
