What a priest is called to be and do

I've been thinking about my ordination vows and what a priest is called to do and be. In the Ordination of a Priest, it says:

"Now you are called to work as a pastor, priest, and teacher, together with your bishop and fellow presbyters, and to take your share in the councils of the church. As a priest, it will be your task to proclaim by word and deed the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to fashion your life in accordance with its precepts. You are to love and serve the people among whom you work, caring alike for young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor..." (BCP, p. 531)

A pastor is a shepherd, caring for the people and for the community of the church.
A priest is one who celebrates baptism and eucharist, and pronounces absolution and blessing.
A teacher is one who shares the Gospel through words and by example.

Those are the main things that define the identity of a priest. Of course, parish clergy have many other tasks expected of them. Probably the ordination vows should add, "....and other duties as assigned"!
