Tonsure Tradition - Bishop Giacomo Ballini, Cebu City, Ph. 2024-09-21

Описание: On September 21, 2024, in Cebu City, Philippines, Bishop Giacomo Ballini delivered a sermon during the Tonsure Ceremony for seminarians of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Seminary. The ceremony was organized by the Marian Corps of St. Pius X under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Chazal. Let's listen in!

Clerical tonsure, deeply rooted in Catholic tradition, was a solemn and sacred rite marking the irrevocable entrance of a man into the clerical state, signifying his complete renunciation of worldly pursuits and dedication to God’s service. Before the Second Vatican Council, this ancient ritual was a mandatory gateway, where the bishop ceremonially cut the candidate’s hair in the form of a cross, symbolizing the crown of thorns and the cleric’s willing acceptance of Christ’s yoke. This act not only conferred upon him the privileges and responsibilities of the clerical state but also set him apart from the laity as a visible sign of humility, poverty, and total submission to the Church's authority. By receiving tonsure, he was bound by Canon Law, vested in clerical garb, and committed to embodying the virtues befitting a servant of God. The abolition of this rite after Vatican II marked a significant shift in ecclesiastical discipline, yet it remains a profound testament to the Church’s ancient understanding of priestly identity and consecration.
