Pick Up Heart Of The Diaconate, The: Communion With The Servant Mysteries Of Christ Scripted By James Keating Issued As EPub

A short but powerful primer on the ministry of the Diaconate, Master spiritual director and holy Deacon Jim Keating writes a beautiful work on the configuration of the deacon to Christ the Servant through the subjective appropriation of the Sacramental Graces given him by constantly drinking from the open side of Jesus to whom he is configured by the wound of the Sacramental Character which Jesus himself has imparted to him.
This work, while presenting nothing new, gets to the heart of living ordained service in God's Church.
And while some may debate a few points of diaconal theology, no one can rightly debate Dcn.
Keating's approach to the heart of the matter which, unsurprisingly is the Heart of the Father revealed in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and accessed through his wounded side.
This getting to the mystical heart of things is Dcn, Keating's forte and again he does not disappoint, A meditative discussion of the diaconate focusing on the call to recognize the mercy of God in our lives.
I must read this again, The Heart of the Diaconate assesses the character and future role of the diaconate in a

Church that is experiencing major transitions in immigration, evangelization, family life, moral sensibilities, and clerical formation.
