Biskup i jego najbliżsi współpracownicy kapłani uczestniczący w odkupicielskim posłaniu Chrystusa

During his work Jesus Christ chose his closest collaborators as his disciples. He entrustedthem with their mission, to continue with the teachings of his part in the redemption of the Word in his name. The successors of the Apostles – the bishops and his aides the priests continue in this mission to save immortal souls. An advantage of the IInd Vatican Council was that it shone a clear light on the relationship between the bishop and the priests. While the Council of Trent defined the Bishop in relation to the priest, the IInd Vatican Council defined the priest in relation to the Bishop. The priest receives the right to the reception of the sacrament of the priesthood and through this sacrament attains a special relationship with Christ, in whose priesthood he participates. But he also enters into a close relationship with the Bishop who annointed him as his fellow-worker.
