Additional Canonical Requirements
According to the Holy Canons:
1. He must be well-versed in the mysteries of the faith (Council of Nicaea, 325, Canon 19).
2. He must not be a new convert (Canons 2–9).
3. He must be in good spritual health (Acts 78).
4. He must be at least thirty years old (Sixth Synod, Canon 13).
So, my child, understand that the priesthood is not a title of honor but a life of sacrifice. It is a path of humility, purity, and tireless service for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
May the Lord, the High Priest of our faith, grant that those called to this sacred ministry may be found worthy through purity, wisdom, and meekness.
May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always.
May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us.
Amen.
