"You will be confi gured to Christ the Servant," he said during his homily Feb. 14 at the Mass of holy orders at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. "Pray for the grace of humil- ity to receive that gift." The four men ordained—Brother James Claver, S.C.J., Mason Fraley, Salvador Sánchez Gasca and Matthew Magee—are studying for the priesthood at St. John Vianney Theological Semi- nary. Ordination to the diaconate is a step in their formation to ultimately being ordained to the priesthood. Drawing on the liturgy's Gospel (Mt 20: 25-28), Archbishop Aquila reminded the men that they have been called by the Lord to serve, not to be served "You are saying, 'I am not choosing what I want, but what God wants because it will bring me the greatest joy and happiness,'" the archbishop said. "Pray for the heart of Christ, you must desire it and cooperate with it. Pray to be like Jesus and make yourself a total self-gift."
