Catechesis: Number and Use of the Sacraments

But if ordination is understood as carrying out the ministry of the Word, we are willing to call ordination a Sacrament. For the ministry of the Word has God’s command and glorious promises, “The gospel…is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Likewise, “So shall My word be that goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose.”—Ap XIII:11
