On December 8, 2016, the Congregation for the Clergy published a new document on priestly formation entitled The Gift of the Priestly Vocation: Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis on its website. The document introduces new elements of formation while still taking into account the Church’s previous teaching on the matter. In particular, the document defines the individual stages of seminary formation as the discipleship stage, the stage of becoming similar to Christ, and the stage of vocational synthesis. Preparation for the priesthood has Christological and pneumatological dimensions where man’s natural endowments are assisted by the supernatural dynamics of Christ’s grace and in reference to the Holy Trinity. The supernatural dimension of a vocation is emphasized in the very divine nature of the gift that is placed in the heart of a young person. This gift accompanies the seminarian as he is gradually formed into the image of the Good Shepherd and becomes a disciple of the Lord. This process can be lived only in profound submission to the formative action of the Holy Spirit.

8 grudnia 2016 roku na stronie internetowej Kongregacji ds. Duchowieństwa został opublikowany nowy dokument na temat formacji kapłańskiej, Ratio fundamentalis institutionis sacerdotalis. Wprowadza on pewne nowe elementy, biorąc pod uwagę dotychczasowe nauczanie Kościoła. Jednym z nich jest określenie poszczególnych etapów seminaryjnego przygotowania jako etap bycia uczniem, etap upodabniający do Chrystusa i okres syntezy powołaniowej. Przygotowanie do kapłaństwa ma zatem swój profil chrystologiczny i pneumatologiczny. Naturalnemu wyposażeniu człowieka towarzyszy nadprzyrodzony dynamizm łaski Chrystusa i stałe odniesienie do Trójcy Świętej. Wymiar nadprzyrodzony powołania jest uwypuklony w samej naturze Bożego daru złożonym w sercu młodego człowieka. Towarzyszy mu w stopniowym kształtowaniu fizjonomii Dobrego Pasterza, stawania się uczniem Pana. Ten proces może być przeżywany jedynie w głębokiej uległości na formacyjne oddziaływanie Ducha Świętego.
