II. The Sacraments of the Church
1120
The ordained ministry or ministerial priesthood is at the service of the
baptismal priesthood.38 The ordained priesthood guarantees that it
really is Christ who acts in the sacraments through the Holy Spirit for the
Church. the saving mission entrusted by the Father to his incarnate Son was
committed to the apostles and through them to their successors: they receive
the Spirit of Jesus to act in his name and in his person.39 The
ordained minister is the sacramental bond that ties the liturgical action to
what the apostles said and did and, through them, to the words and actions of
Christ, the source and foundation of the sacraments.
