Message from the Rector P. 2 In the 50+ years since the Second Vatican Council, which restored the Order of the Diaconate as a permanent state (in the Middle Ages, the diaconate of the ancient Church had been reduced to merely the transitional state before ordination to the priesthood), there has been much writing about and questioning of the identity of the deacon. The scripture passage most famously associated with the ministry of deacons is that of Acts 6:1-7 when seven men are chosen by the Apostles for special service to the Greek-speaking widows of the community. This passage of origin, along with the definition of the word diakonos (servant) has led many to see the deacon as a servant of charity. For this reason, deacons in our Archdiocese are assigned a local charitable ministry in addition to their routine ministry in parishes. However, the Rite of Ordination points out that in addition to ministry of charity, the deacon helps bishops and priests in the ministry of the word and altar. This is why at the celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy, the deacon has preeminence in the proclamation of the Gospel, even before the other ordained ministers. He also assists the Bishop or Priest at the altar in preparing the Eucharistic Sacrifice. In fact, while the deacon is indeed a servant in the image of Christ who “came not to be served but to serve” (Mk 10:45), his diakonia is more dynamic than this. All baptized Christians have received the call to serve, just as all Christians have been baptized as priests. But the word diakonos also carries the connotation of emissary or envoy – one who represents another. In this, we find the heart of the ordained diaconate: the one who is first and foremost the emissary of Christ, but also ordained to act as an emissary of the Bishop (and even of the pastor) in word and charity. Ultimately in his actions, whether in proclamation of the Word of God, service at the altar, or in charitable outreach, he is an emissary of Christ and the Church showing that the Kingdom of God is at hand. Please join me in praying for Joe Millhouse (and Wendy, his partner on the journey) as he prepares, as well as for all of our deacons at the Co-Cathedral as they share their beautiful ministry of diakonia with all of us.
January 31, 2021 Diakonia Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Anh chị em thân mến trong Chúa Kitô: Estimados Amigos y Amigas en Cristo: “Beloved brothers and sisters: since this our son, who is your relative and friend, is now to be advanced to the Order of Deacon, consider carefully the nature of the rank in the Church to which he is about to be raised. Strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, he will help the Bishop and his Priests in the ministry of the word, of the altar, and of charity, showing himself to be a servant of all. As a minister of the altar, he will proclaim the Gospel, prepare the Sacrifice, and distribute the Lord’s Body and Blood to the faithful. Furthermore, it will be his duty, at the Bishop’s direction, to exhort believers and unbelievers alike and to instruct them in holy doctrine. He will preside over public prayer, administer Baptism, assist at and bless Marriages, bring Viaticum to the dying, and conduct funeral rites. Consecrated by the laying on of hands that comes down to us from the Apostles and bound more closely to the service of the altar, he will perform works of charity in the name of the Bishop or the pastor. With the help of God, he is to go about all these duties in such a way that you will recognize him as a disciple of Him who came not to be served but to serve.” (Rite of Ordination of One Deacon) During my absence during vacation, I invited Joe Millhouse to use this space to re-introduce himself to the parish community and share some thoughts as he prepares to be ordained to the diaconate. That ordination was scheduled to take place this weekend but has now been postponed three weeks (now Friday, February 19) due to COVID precautions among the community of candidates and their wives. Nonetheless, I would like to share this week what I was prepared to share at the brink of Joe’s ordination which will remain just as true three weeks from now.
Yours in Christ,
Very Reverend Jeffrey L. Bame Rector & Parish Administrator
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in You. Amen.

Stewardship Reflection How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining more things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this – use the word “pray” instead of the
word “worry” in the future. Then pray for things instead of worrying about them.
“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties.” - 1 Corinthians 7:32

En aquel tiempo, se ha-llaba Jesús a Cafarnaúm y el sábado siguiente fue a la sinagoga y se puso a enseñar. Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de sus pa-labras, pues enseñaba como quien tiene auto-ridad y no como los es-
cribas. Había en la sinagoga un hombre poseído por un espí-ritu inmundo, que se puso a gritar: “¿Qué quieres tú con nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido a acabar con nosotros? Ya sé quién eres: el Santo de Dios”. Jesús le ordenó: “¡Cállate y sal de él!” El espíritu in-mundo, sacudiendo al hombre con violencia y dando un alarido, salió de él. Todos quedaron estupefactos y se preguntaban: “¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es ésta? Este hombre tiene autoridad para mandar hasta a los espíritus inmundos y lo obedecen”. Y muy pronto se extendió su fama por toda Galilea.
Y nosotros podemos preguntarnos ¿cuál es nuestra identidad de cristianos? Unión con el Espíritu Santo y enseñada por el Espíritu. Si nosotros los cristianos no comprendemos bien las cosas del Espíritu, no damos y no ofrecemos un testimonio, no tenemos identidad. Debemos tener el pensamiento de Cristo y el Espíritu de Cristo. Ésta es la identidad cristiana. No tener el espíritu del mundo, ese modo de pensar, ese modo de juzgar… Tú puedes tener cinco licenciaturas en teolo-gía, ¡pero no tener el Espíritu de Dios! Quizá tú seas un gran teólogo, pero no eres un cristiano, ¡porque no tienes el Espíritu de Dios! Lo que da autoridad, lo que te da identidad es el Espíritu Santo, la unción del Espí-ritu Santo. Por esta razón, el pueblo no amaba a aque-llos predicadores, a aquellos doctores de la ley, porque hablaban verdaderamente de teología, pero no llegaban al corazón, no daban libertad”. Estos no eran capaces de hacer que el pueblo encontrara su propia identidad, porque no estaban ungidos por el Espíritu Santo. La autoridad de Jesús – y la autoridad del cristiano – vie-ne precisamente de esta capacidad de comprender las cosas del Espíritu, de hablar la lengua del Espíritu. Viene de esta unción del Espíritu Santo. Y tantas ve-ces, nosotros encontramos entre nuestros fieles, ancia-nitas simples que quizá no han terminado la escuela primaria, pero que te hablan de estas cosas mejor que un teólogo, porque tienen el Espíritu de Cristo. Y to-dos nosotros debemos pedir esto. Señor danos la iden-tidad cristiana, la que Tú tenías. Danos Tu Espíritu. Danos Tu modo de pensar, de sentir, de hablar: es de-cir, Señor, danos la unción del Espíritu Santo.

Communion P. 6
La Autoridad del Cristiano Viene del Espíritu Santo
La gente se sentía sorprendida por la enseñanza de Jesús, porque su palabra tenía autoridad. Jesús no era un predica-dor común, porque su autoridad le viene de la unción espe-cial del Espíritu Santo. Jesús es el Hijo de Dios ungido y enviado a traer la salvación, a traer la libertad. Y algunos se escandalizaban por este estilo de Jesús, por su identidad y libertad.
