No, his dignity has only one source, and only one justification, namely, the stu- pendous change that was wrought in him by the imposition of hands and the grace of ordination, when he put on the eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ and stood before Dignity of the Priesthood 21 1 the world another Christ: "Sacerdos alter Christus" The priest is another Christ. This is why he did not presume to take this honor to himself, but waited to be called by God, even as Aaron was. This is why he comes to y...ou now, not the nominee of a congregation, but sent even as the Apostles were. This is why there is between you and him this altar rail, the symbol of the ever- lasting barrier raised between him and the world. That is why he is clothed in the Mass vestments, the white garment that Christ wore, and the heavy cross that He carried to Calvary. That is why he stands before you as a leader of his people, and he only turns his face to you now and again, as a leader might turn to urge you on. That is why he prays in an unknown tongue to manifest to you that he, not you, is the sacri- ficer, and that he, not you, has power to immolate the mystic victim.
