The ordaining prelate in his homily reminded the ordinands that, “as deacons, they are icons of service and servants of Christ. The diaconal order is a call to service. Despite our weaknesses, the Lord still chose us to serve him. Anyone who is a servant is to be obedient and listen to his master and listening to the Master means listening to his Word.”
