Tonight would normally be a rather routine Monday night but I had some ministry to attend to. After attending evening prayer at a Benedictine Monastery, on the Feast of St. Benedict, I drove across town to meet with several newly minted Catholics from Easter Vigil past. The small group asked their sponsors to invite a deacon so they could find out about the diaconate. That's music to my ears because I love talking about the ministry of the diaconate and I'm always hopeful that the faithful will come to know more about the ministry and responsibilities of deacons, particularly permanent deacons.
And to confirm how God has a better plan than I do, I come home and delve into my world of Catholic blogosphere and find a very powerful article on the Permanent Diaconate.
So enjoy:
