It's what happens
at the end that
D
uring last week's deacon ordina-
tion, Archbishop Samuel Aquila
told ordinands their new minis-
try must be "rooted in humility" and they
should strive to serve with "the heart of
Christ the Servant."
"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."
