The word order in Roman antiquity designated an established civil body,
especially a governing body. Ordinatio means incorporation into an ordo. In the
Church there are established bodies which Tradition, not without a basis in
Sacred Scripture,4 has since ancient times called taxeis (Greek) or
ordines. and so the liturgy speaks of the ordo episcoporum, the ordo
presbyterorum, the ordo diaconorum. Other groups also receive this name of
ordo: catechumens, virgins, spouses, widows,….

According to St. John of the
Cross, the person wishing to advance toward perfection should “take care
into whose hands he entrusts himself, for as the master is, so will the
disciple be, and as the father is so will be the son.” and further: “In
addition to being learned and discreet a director should be experienced…. If
the spiritual director has no experience of the spiritual life, he will be
incapable of leading into it the souls whom God is calling to it, and he will
not even understand them.”47

The baptism of Jesus is on his part the acceptance and inauguration of his
mission as God’s suffering Servant. He allows himself to be numbered among
sinners; he is already “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the
world”.232 Already he is anticipating the “baptism” of
his bloody death.233 Already he is coming to “fulfil all
righteousness”, that is, he is submitting himself entirely to his Father’s
will: out of love he consents to this baptism of death for the remission of our
sins.234 The Father’s voice responds to the Son’s acceptance,
proclaiming his entire delight in his Son.235 The Spirit whom Jesus
possessed in fullness from his conception comes to “rest on
him”.236 Jesus will be the source of the Spirit for all mankind.
At his baptism “the heavens were opened”237 – the heavens
that Adam’s sin had closed – and the waters were sanctified by the descent of
Jesus and the Spirit, a prelude to the new creation.
