Summary:
NATURE OF PRIEST IN THE OT Relationship
 They are called by God GOD
 They are ordained
 They are the “Kingdom of Priest” or “Holy Nation”
 They are representatives or act as mediator before God
 They do not possess the power to bring the salvation of humankind ISRAELITE PEOPLE
 They are constant source of hope for the people of God
 They are blessed, protected and cared by God
2 ROLES/FUNCTIONS OF PRIEST IN THE OT
1. To offer:
A) Gifts (their first fruits of the earth) for thanksgiving
B) Sacrifice (blood of bulls and goats) for atoning their sins and the sins of the people
C) Prayer (worship) for the petitions/needs of the people
2. Proclaim the Word of God
These 2 roles/functions restore communion between God and the people BUT these 2 however do not prevent
priest from engaging in other important duties. They help make better the life of the people whom they serve
and promote justice and peace in society like the mediator.
What does the Catholic Church Teaches us about Priesthood?
They based from the Bible and it was quoted from the OT.
CFC 1950
In the OT, through Moses God called all Israelite to be “a kingdom of priest, a “holy nation” (Ex.19:6), while
consecrating one of the 12 tribes, Aaron and his descendants, the tribe of Levi, for priestly ministry(Lv.8:1-
12, Ex. 28-30, CCC1539). Now a priest is someone appointed to act in our behalf of the people “as their
representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins”(Heb.5:1). but this OT Priesthood was
powerless to effect definitive salvation since the law had only a shadow of the good things to come and no
real image of them, it6 was never able to perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices offered continually
year after year for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats take away sins(Heb.10:1-4).
Priesthood has its origin in the OT as early as the Time of Abraham, the King of Salem, Melchizedek is
describe as a priest-king. He was described in the NT from the letter of Paul to the Hebrews as the
prefiguration or foreshadows of Jesus the Messiah, the Eternal High Priest. Messiah means “Lord or King”.
We are also called to be a source of hope to others by our firm faith in God’s loving presence. We are to help
make others strong by our strong faith in God. Just as God blessed, protect and cared for the priest He called,
He will also bless, protect and care for us as witnesses to His great love. St. Gaetano Errico also was an
example in doing the mission of Jesus. The mission he did was Proclamation of the Word, ministry of
reconciliation and selfless charity to the needy.
Priest need our prayer for them to remain faithful to their vocation. Let us have a moment of silence to pray
the Priest Prayer. (give the class the copy)
Link: unlike the priest in the OT, we do not offer animal sacrifices to beg for God’s forgiveness. We do have
our share of sacrifices and like the priests, we can transform them into pathways that leads to God.
E. FAITH RESPONSE
Activity: Journal Writing:
As a grade 8 student, what sacrifices will you undertake each day to show your commitment to love God and
others? (List at least 10)
Assignment: answer the activity in your book “reaping the fruits of Jesus’ Message (PG.62-63)
F. CLOSING PRAYER
Loving Father, we humbly ask you to give us the courage to fulfill our mission according to your Will.
May we respond to your call, “here I am! Send me” may the Holy Spirit inspire us to be like your son, Jesus
Christ, in accomplishing our prophetic task. Amen.

a. looking back: show pictures of the following: aswang, superhero, magic,satan, angels. Ask the class if they
believe in them and call for some volunteers to give their reason for their belief or unbelief. Then, facilitate a
debate on whether to believe in something that is visible or deny something invisible. Afterwards, emphasize
that there are a lot of invisible realities that are objects of faith. Lastly lead the class to reflect on the question:
journal writing.
1. do you see to believe or do you believe to see?
2.What are the things that you don’t see but you continue to believe in them?
3. how do these invisible principles help you to become a person of hope and faith?
b. looking around: Direct the class to watch “may the force be with you”.
May the force be with you is an expression of good luck and wishing someone “May the Spirit be with you” is
construed as a prayer for others to be wrapped with the Spirit of God. Tell the students to wish their classmates
on their right side this “ May the Spirit of the Lord be with you always”.
Journal writing: how do you wish others good luck? Is good luck divinely inspired?
c. looking inside: call a volunteer to demonstrate how to do the sign of the cross. Ask the class to identify
situations where they do the sign of the cross besides praying. Tell the class that this is a Filipino Tradition
called “pag-aantanda”. Antanda is an act of doing sign of the cross among the Filipino Catholics. The Filipino
do this for many reasons: as a show of respect when passing by a Church, as a sign of awe when something
mysterious is taking place, as a sign of shock when something frightening happens. For many, they o antanda to
recognize that there is Spiritual Reality that dwells in the material Church, or there is an unseen Spirit
responsible for all those unexplored by human intelligence. Through antanda, we allow our physical eyes to
recognize a reality that is spiritual in nature.
