Today’s Meditation
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The ministry of permanent deacons has become an essential part of our parish life today, yet for centuries
until 1967, this deeply traditional ministry had virtually disappeared. Every priest had first to be ordained a
deacon, but the notion that one could actually embrace a permanent vocation to the diaconate was lost.
The primary ministry of the deacon is to the welfare of the community, especially its poor, and his role in
sacraments and preaching flows from that. His principal role is to animate and promote the ministry of all the
faithful. Ninety percent of permanent deacons are married, although the discipline of celibacy for clerics
means that if a deacon is widowed, normally he cannot remarry, nor can an unmarried deacon marry once ordained. The deacon does not preside at Mass nor may he absolve sins. Nor, since anointing of the sick is linked
theologically to penance, may he anoint.
Sometimes we are slow to engage with a tradition: Trent approved permanent deacons in the 1560s, but
nothing was done until the 1960s. The vitality of the long‑delayed restoration has greatly enriched the Church,
particularly in the United States, where the majority of the deacons in the world serve.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Cuando Jesús dice que hay que comer su cuerpo y
beber su sangre (Juan 6:55), los cristianos católicos,
literalmente, seguimos sus palabras. En esto somos
muy fundamentalistas: cuando Jesús dice que el pan
es su cuerpo y el vino es su sangre, lo creemos de todo corazón (1 Corintios 11:24-25). Para los católicos,
nuestra fe y estilo de vida están basados en la consagración del pan y vino en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de
Cristo.
La Iglesia primitiva reconocía con tristeza que no
todos los que querían seguir a Jesús podían aceptar la
realidad de su cuerpo y sangre. Por eso, Juan el evangelista dice que muchos abandonaron a Jesús cuando
éste les habló del sagrado convite (Juan 6:60-69). De
la muchedumbre que le seguía, poquísimos continuaron con él. Quienes siguieron acompañándolo reconocían que Jesús tiene palabras de vida eterna. Esta
verdad la vemos reflejada en la celebración de la misa, pues del Pan de la Palabra pasamos al Pan Eucarístico. Escuchamos su Palabra para luego comer su
Cuerpo y beber su Sangre a fin de tener vida eterna.
