VATICAN CITY (CNS) - Permanent deacons must not let anything; stop them from bringing Christ to the world. Pope John Paul II told deacons celebrat­ ing their jubilee at the Vatican. "Do not let difficulties and opposi­ tion trouble your hearts but, on the con­ trary, grow in your trust in Jesus who redeemed men and women through the martyrdom of the cross," the Pope said. More than 2,000 people — deacons, their wives and family members — attended the Feb. 19 papal audience during the Jubilee for Permanent Deacons at the Vatican. Later in the day the deacons, many holding hands with their wives, processed from the center of St. Peter's Square, through the Holy Door and into St. Peter's Basilica to renew the promis­ Deacon Mark Salvato, above, addressed the Jubilee for Deacons in Rome; At right, candidates lie es they made at ordination.

"He tried to help Coach Sanders," said O'Connor, his voice choked with emotion. "He could have been killed, but he stopped and took off his shirt and used it to try to stop the bleeding," he added.
