"A TALK ON

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS"

By Philip Rogerson

“The ceremony of the ordination of a priest is a rich tapestry. It is an interweaving of words, gestures, symbols and images. Each has its own particular significance; each highlights an aspect of the gift of Holy Orders and of the life and ministry of the priest. Together they give eloquent testimony to the underlying fact and truth of this moment: here God is at work.”

Archbishop Vincent Nichols
