From The Clarion Herald:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In ordaining 19 men as permanent deacons on June 27 at St. Louis Cathedral, Archbishop Gregory Aymond called their new ministry of ordained service to the church \u201ca great privilege but also a tremendous responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe natural question is, \u2018How can I do this with love and effectiveness?\u2019\u201d Archbishop Aymond asked in his homily. \u201cMay I suggest to you, my brothers, be humble, don\u2019t be taken in by your new title, by your place in the sanctuary or by the vestments that you wear. They are part of your life as a deacon, yes, but they are there only to remind you that you are sent in the name of the Lord Jesus not to be served but to serve and to be there for God\u2019s people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archbishop Aymond also told the men, who will join the 224 permanent deacons already serving in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, to stay close to Christ in prayer and also remain deeply connected to their families, especially their wives, and their brother deacons. \u201cMy brothers, we can read your hearts, and they are overwhelmed with gratitude,\u201d Archbishop Aymond said. \u201cYou are very eager to say yes to the Lord today. We ask you to read our hearts \u2026 and the hearts of those who have supported you in any way. In our hearts, we believe that God has called you. We believe God has given you the gifts to fulfill this ministry. We promise to walk with you and to support you, not just today but all the days of your ministry.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations, brothers, and welcome! Ad multos annos!<\/em><\/p>\n
