    1. service of God, who is glorified by the loving service given to others;

    2. authorization by the Church's hierarchy, whether the Pope directly or the local ordinary; this authorization may require ordination, as in the priestly ministry, or consecration, as in the priestly ministry, or consecration, as in religious life; or liturgical blessing, as with lectors and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion;

    3. based on the teaching of Christ, who showed by word and example how to minister to people's spiritual and temporal needs; and

    4. under the guidance of the Church in accordance with her directives and decrees.
