The word mission did not meant always the same thing. Depending on perspective, the missionary’s activity is put under semantic analysis and defined by it. The priesthood is science because the priest is to the service of the “One who knows all and from which all have come to life”. At the same time it is also vocation because the calling of God is addressed to everybody but only a small part answer to it. Looking at the three dignities of the priesthood one observes that for each of them is requested a certain soul quality. For the sanctifying dignity is requested the own holiness, for the dignity of leader, the ability of being able to lead yourself and to the didactic one of teacher, solid knowledge and the pedagogic vocation. The terms by which the Holy Scripture nominates each of them are illustrative and their careful analysis lead to the distinguish of the mission received directly from Christ. The mission to transform the person, its remodelling in the meaning of vectorisation the varied plenitude, contained in its intimate nucleus, imposes the constant and deliberate reunification of its elements, in and by Logos. The priesthood will nominate, in such a context, the vocational ideatic singularity, historically perpetuated, with an optimisation existential space, projected in eternity.
