THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Deuteronomy 10: 8-10 At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister to him, and to bless in his name, as they have done to this day. For this reason, Levi has no hereditary portion with his relatives; the Lord himself is his portion, as the Lord, your God, promised him. Meanwhile I stayed on the mountain as I did before, forty days and forty nights, and once again the Lord listened to me. The Lord was unwilling to destroy you.

RESPONSORIAL Psalm 96: 1-2a, 2b-3, 10

SECOND READING Acts of the Apostles 8: 26-40 Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, “Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route.” So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace,* that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. The Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” He replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him. This was the scripture passage he was reading: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth. Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him. As they traveled along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, there is water. What is to prevent my being baptized?” Then he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and he baptized him. When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing. Philip came to Azotus, and went about proclaiming the good news to all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Tune: VICTORY, Giovanni da Palestrina, 1525-1594 Adapt.: William H. Monk, 1823-1889

GOSPEL Matthew 5: 38-48 You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile,* go with him for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors* do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect,* just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

THE RITE OF ORDINATION

ELECTION OF THE CANDIDATES

After the candidates have been presented, the Bishop elects them for ordination. Applause is an appropriate sign of approval. HOMILY

The Bishop speaks to the candidates and to all assembled about the offices and duties of the deacon.

PROMISE OF THE ELECT Since the Deacon serves under the authority of the Bishop, the candidates pledge

obedience and respect to their Ordinary Bishop and the Bishop’s successors. LITANY OF SUPPLICATION Litany of the Saints

The candidates lie prostrate before the altar as a sign of their humble submission to God’s will and so that the assembly, in communion with all the saints, may pray for them.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND THE PRAYER OF ORDINATION

The essence of the Sacrament of Holy Orders: the Bishop lays his hands upon the head of each candidate, an action which confers the Holy Spirit, and then prays the words of consecration.

Amen VIII

HANDING ON THE BOOK OF THE GOSPELS With the reception of the Book of the Gospels, the newly ordained deacons

are instructed to believe, teach and practice the Gospel of Jesus Christ. HANDING ON THE BOOK OF GOSPELS PSALM 84

Ubi Caritas, Mode VI/ Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986)

We have profound gratitude for Deacon Christopher Connelly, Director of Diaconate Formation, Susan Horne, Wives Program Assistant, and Rev. Robert Blaney, Secretary for Ministerial Personnel and Director of Clergy Personnel, who have been with us and our wives throughout this journey.
