Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. All: Amen LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading (Read in Spanish) A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles Acts 6: 1-7 As the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit, also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hands on them. The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly; even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

Y les decía: - La mies es abundante y los obreros pocos: rogad, pues, al dueño de la mies que mande obreros a su mies. ¡Poneos en camino! Mirad que os mando como corderos en medio de lobos. No llevéis talega, ni alforja, ni sandalias; y no os detengáis a saludar a nadie por el camino. Cuando entréis en una casa, decid primero: «Paz a esta casa». Y si allí hay gente de paz, descansará sobre ellos vuestra paz; si no, volverá a vosotros. Quedaos en la misma casa, comed y bebed de lo que tengan: porque el obrero merece su salario. No andéis cambiando de casa. Si entráis en un pueblo y os reciben bien, comed lo que os pongan, curad a los enfermos que haya, y decid: «Está cerca de vosotros el Reino de Dios».

We thank you, risen Christ, for these waters where you make us new, leading us from death to life, from tears to joy. We bless you, risen Christ, that your Spirit comes to us in the grace-filled waters of rebirth, like rains to our thirsting earth, like streams that revive our souls, like cups of cool water shared with strangers. Breathe your peace on your church when we hide in fear. Clothe us with your mercy and forgiveness. Send us companions on our journey as we share your life. Make us one, risen Christ. Cleanse our hearts. Shower us with life. To you be given all praise, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God, now and forever. People of God: Amen. Prayer of the Day Let us pray, God, sometimes the work you call us to feels overwhelming and too much to bear. Help us remember that you send others to share the work. Help us remember that others have the gifts we do not have, the gifts we need. And help us remember that sometimes you need us to serve others when they are overwhelmed.

  • Sorting It out – Making Welfare Fair 112
    Sorting it out – Making welfare fair 112 Aim of lesson To learn from the way the early church sorted out problems that arose, and from the care they showed to those in need. Bible background Acts 6:1-7. Outline of lesson You may like to remind the class of the problem of dishonesty which the church faced in last week’s lesson. Today’s lesson looks at another problem. Ask the class to notice what the problem is, and how they solved it, as you read together Acts 6:1-7. How to be fair? By questioning the class draw out the problem of fairness in the distribution of food to the widows in need. Have the class look in detail at the way the disciples behave. After the complaint is made, the twelve gather all the disciples together. The decision is not taken by just a few; the whole church considers the problem. The twelve propose that a team of seven men should be appointed – men whom all the members consider suitable. The apostles then lay their hands on them and pray for them. This strengthens the concept that they are all working together. The deacons, as they are often called, are not a rival group to the apostles; they are part of the same church, doing different aspects of the Lord’s work. Ask the class to consider what lessons they have learned about what to do and what not to do when there is a problem. The students can summarise the discussion in the three ‘tables’ in the workbook.

  • Ordination to the Diaconate
    Ordination to the Diaconate ARCHDIOCESE OF GALVESTON-HOUSTON His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo Archbishop of Galveston-Houston Ordaining Bishop Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Houston, Texas February 20, 2021 Deacons are ordained by the laying on of hands, a tradition handed down from the apostles, so that through sacramental grace they may effectively fulfill their ministry. Therefore, even from early Apostolic times, the Catholic Church has held the holy Order of the Diaconate in high honor. "Insofar as competent authority assigns them, it pertains to the deacon: to administer Baptism solemnly; to protect and distribute the Eucharist, assist at and bless marriages in the name of the Church, bring Viaticum to the dying; read the Sacred Scriptures to the faithful, instruct and exhort the people; preside over the prayer and worship of the faithful, administer sacramentals, and officiate at funeral and burial rites. Dedicated to duties of charity and administration, deacons should be mindful of the admonition of Saint Polycarp: 'Be merciful and zealous, walking according to the truth of the Lord, who made himself the minister of all.'"1 Rite of Ordination, nos. 173-174 1 Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, no 29.

  • The Role of a New Testament Deacon
    Guillermin Library Liberty University Lynchburg, VA 24502 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE ROLE OF A NEW TESTAMENT DEACON: AN OFFICE TO HOLD OR A MINISTRY TO PERFORM? A Dissertation Submitted to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MINISTRY By Waylan Lawrence Payne, Jf. Lynchburg, Virginia May, 1996 LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THESIS PROJECT APPROVAL SHEET /J- GRADE ABSTRACT THE ROLE OF A NEW TESTAMENT DEACON: AN OFFICE TO HOLD OR A MINISTRY TO PERFORM? Waylan L. Payne, Jr. Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 1996 Mentor: Dr. Carl 1. Diemer, Jr. The function of deacons in many Southern Baptist churches is inconsistent with biblical principles, creating confusion at the local church level. This phenomenon is substantiated by information gathered from available literature, surveys, and personal interviews with professors, pastors and deacons. The purpose of this paper is to present a biblical and historical basis for the diaconate and to provide successful deacon ministries as positive role models. Two church offices are recognized--pastor/elder/overseer and deacon. Deacons are not elders or overseers. When they attempt to perform as such, administrating church business, they are functionally violating New Testament principle and practice. Abstract length: 99 words.

  • Liturgy-Update-5-8-20-1.Pdf
    THE CELEBRATION OF THE SACRAMENTS WITH THE ANTICIPATED LIFTING OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS OFFICE FOR DIVINE WORSHIP ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2020 The State of Pennsylvania plans for the gradual lifting of all restrictions due to the COVID-19 precautions in three phases—red, yellow and green--based on testing results for the virus and a consistent reduction in the number of new cases. Several variables do not allow at this point for a uniform and definite date for the lifting of these restrictions especially in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The Archdiocese proposes the following plan—Current Phase, Restricted Phase, and Open Phase as the restrictions lift. For the Current Phase, the previously published existing norms remain in force. The Restricted and Open Phases will be announced by the Archbishop through the Archdiocesan Office for Communications. Amended and updated directives will be published for the Restricted and Open Phases if needed. GENERAL POINTS • Adjustments to the Celebration of the Sacred Liturgy The Sacred Liturgy is to be celebrated, as always, according to what is prescribed in the liturgical books. The options indicated below are to be observed by all throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The reverent, faith-filled and natural celebration of the Sacred Liturgy on the part of all should be preserved. Priests, deacons and liturgical ministers are not expected to wear masks or gloves. Holy Communion is not to be distributed wearing gloves. Drive up services for the purpose of the reception of Holy Communion are not permitted. 1 The sick and the dead, especially as a result of COVID-19, are to be remembered regularly in the Universal Prayer and other occasions of prayer.
