Deacons are more about being than doing, yet we do lots of neat things. This week is just one example of the different experiences I encounter as a Deacon. From giving two classes of first graders a tour of the church and age appropriate explanation of the Mass, to teaching Bible class for 30 adult Catholics, to beginning the prep work for 4 Baptisms, to ministering to over 40 inmates in prison,to preparing for this weekend liturgy and feast day, whew! Wow!
This is normal and this is but a sample of the call.
We do what we do because who we are. And we are called to serve, not just on Sundays.
Love being a Permanent Deacon.
