Conviction

- Priest is the mediator between God and man - Through baptism we all are incorporated into the priesthood of Jesus. This is called the common priesthood of the people of God. However, God selects some people especially for His service, appoints them to be with Him and authorize them to share His mission of proclaiming the message, teaching, healing the sick and cast out demons etc. They are the people with Ministerial Priesthood. - The Bishops who are successors of the apostles, hand over the priesthood through “the laying on of hands”. - The duties of a priest are to teach the People of God, lead them and sanctify them. - Through incessant prayers, frequent reception of sacraments, Bible reading etc. one should find out the vocation for which he is called for.
Attitudes

- Have respect and love for the Priests choosen for the Ministerial priesthood. - Pray for the call to Priesthood.
