Deacon Keith Fournier on Catholic Deacons, the New Evangelization and the New Missionary Age By Deacon Keith Fournier | May 18, 2014 I will soon celebrate my seventeenth anniversary of ordination as a member of the Clergy, a Catholic Deacon. Because I was ordained on the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in 1996, I have taken that date as my anniversary- even though the actual calendar dates change. Choosing this Feast, so central to the heart of the Church, is a way in which I regularly rededicate myself to my vocation - by rooting my response to the Call of the Lord in the Heart of the Church, for the sake of the world. I know that the Diaconate in Christ is a real vocation. The root of the word vocation is the Latin word for Voice. I heard - and continue to hear - the voice of the Risen Lord calling me to follow Him in this Way.This morning, our first reading at Mass reminds us of the call and establishment of the Order of Deacons in the Church. It also invites an examination of the role of Deacons in the Catholic Church and for her missionary work in the Third Christian Millennium Continue Reading...

St. Michael the Archangel, Defend Us in Battle: Pope Francis Takes on the Devil By Deacon Keith Fournier | May 17, 2014 Now the new People of God is the Church. That is the reason she considers him her protector and support in all her struggles for the defense and expansion of the kingdom of God on earth. It is true that \"the powers of death shall not prevail\", as the Lord assured (Mt 16:18), but this does not mean that we are exempt from trials and battles against the snares of the evil one.In this struggle the Archangel Michael stands alongside the Church to defend her against all the iniquities of the age, to help believers to resist the devil, who \"prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour\" (1 Petr 5:8).\" This battle against the devil which characterizes the Archangel Michael is still going on, because the devil is still alive and at work in world. In fact, the evil that is in it, the disorder we see in society, the infidelity of man, the interior fragmentation of which he is a victim, are not merely the consequences of original sin, but also the effect of the dark and infesting activity of Satan, of this saboteur of man\'s moral equilibrium. - St John Paul II Continue Reading... Pope Francis on the Spiritual Gift of Fortitude and the Hidden Saints Among Us By Pope Francis | May 15, 2014 Let us thank the Lord for these Christians who are the hidden saints among us.

If they do this, if they can do this then why not me and we ask the Lord to give us the gift of fortitude. - Pope Francis Continue Reading...
