Thank you for singing at the Permanent Diaconate Ordination on Saturday, September 21st at 10am! This is unique as most of these men are married with children. Permanent Deacons were reinstated by Vatican II. They are true servants of the people and the Church!

This text (19 C. trans. by John Mason Neale) brings up a lot of questions to think about. Here are some and perhaps you have your own questions about these words!
Verse 1:
• What (or who) is the the “Hidden Deity”? Why is it hidden?
• What does”contemplating Thee it wholly fails” mean?
• Is it OK to not fully understand the greatness of God?
Verse 2:
• Why are taste, touch, and vision “deceived”? Is God’s presence
• What does this verse say about believing what God tell us? What is “Truth’s very Word”? (HINT: Why is “Word” capitalized?)
Verse 3:
• What did the “dying thief” ask of Jesus? What did his request have to do with faith?
• What was Jesus’ response to him (and others who had faith)?
Verse 4:
• What does the disciple Thomas have to do with faith—believing what one does not see?
Verse 5:
• How does the “living bread” give life to us today and forever?
UBI CARITAS (At least learn the refrain–anything more is bonus!)
