Servant, Victim, Brother, Listener, Friend.
I was made a deacon today.

Old, wise hands rested on my shoulders and called me out to do the works of Christ.

I read something about what the work of a priest is today, and I think it applies:

To be a priest is to be

a servant

a victim

a brother

a listener

a friend.

I know I have failed on all these counts this week. Forgive me, Lord. Grant me the grace to be these things to your people. Teach me to love more deeply. Teach me to be a true servant, a willing victim, a faithful brother, an intense listener, and an honest friend.
