Deaconings and Priestings

08/09/2012

I’m sadly unable to be in St Mary’s this weekend for one of the most significant moments in the year – five people are being ordained at a special service on Saturday afternoon.

These are moments that people remember for the whole of their lives.

My exuberant good wishes to all those being ordained. Some I don’t know terribly well and some I have known at key points on their journey. For all, pray.

For those being made deacon – may you be blessed in God’s service and you serve others.

For those being made priests – remember you were made a deacon first. It remains your foundational ministry. To it, are these blessings added – to bring God to people and people to God in ways sacramental and mysterious.

Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
And lighten with celestial fire
All those being ordained today
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

diaconate, priesthood

Thanks Tim. I found google sky already. Indeed, it was one of the things that persuaded me.

Now I can see the constellations in the city! Indeed, now I can see the constellations in my bedroom.

SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.
Enjoy the ‘phone!

Lifehacker is always a good source of info for these things.

Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

  I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.
  
  Whatever you are looking it is what google thinks should be aimed at you. I see no ads offering girlfriends myself.

I do hope I’m not the only one getting “Spy on your boyfriend” ads! 😉

I see no ads, which beats the Scientology ads that I used to see!

I have nothing to ad because Padre has forbidden it.
