Summary/Abstract: In the present study, we do not want to make an exhaustive presentation from a liturgical or dogmatic point of view of the Mystery of the Priesthood as it is perceived in the life of the Church, but we want to highlight, by researching the pastorals, speeches and files existing at the Archive of the Metropolitanate of Moldovia and Bukovina, the vision of Metropolitan Irineu Mihălcescu towards this Sacrament, one of the seven of the Church, and his concerns regarding the dress of priests, their behavior during holy services, but also in society, as well as the care to make them aware of the important value of the mission to who were called and which they had to fulfill with responsibility, God offering them the gift of priesthood through the hand of the priest, but, at the appointed time, being also the One who claims from their hands the souls of the faithful whom they received into their care.
