God has INDEED Blessed you!! Be Thankful....I'm sure you are!

I am finishing up my studies this year in pastoral ministries and will be ordained a permanent deacon this October.

I envy you, and will be lifting you up in prayer.

I was ordained a deacon in 1976, but left the seminary to get married.

I've explored returning with my bishop, but there is simply no vehicle within the Church to return a laicized deacon to the ministry.

You will make a wonderful minister of the Gospel.

This is very wonderful that you are going to be ordained a permanent deacon. I will pray for you and your wife that your entry to Holy Orders will be a source of rich blessings for you both and for the people you will serve as Christ's deacon.
