It is with great joy that I share that I have been welcomed into the Aspirancy period for the Permanent Diaconate! Please pray for me and my family as I continue to discern this wonderful vocation.

I watched Cabrini from @AngelStudiosInc tonight. What an amazing film on such a beautiful saint. It was a wonderful message of helping all those less fortunate. St Cabrini, pray for us.

Today is the feast day of Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini, who came to the United States in 1889, where for the next 28 years she established many schools, hospitals, and orphanages.

Let us pray. God our Father, you called Francis Xavier Cabrini from Italy to serve the immigrants of America. By her example, teach us concern for the stranger, the sick, and the frustrated. By her prayers, help us to see Christ in all the men and women we meet. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen

You can help support the men who have answered God's call to serve as Permanent Deacons in the Diocese of Jackson and assist in the formation of those preparing for ordination.
Since 2011, there have been18 men ordained to the permanent diaconate in our diocese. As ministers of the Word, Liturgy, and Charity, they bring Christ's presence to people in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, parishes, and communities across Mississippi. Permanent Deacons teach the faith, accompany those who are suffering, serve the homebound, and minister wherever there is a need.
What many people do not realize is that Permanent Deacons receive no compensation for their ministry. Most are married men with full-time jobs and family responsibilities who generously dedicate their time to serving the Church. In imitation of Christ the Servant, they give of themselves freely and sacrificially.
The financial commitment is also significant. Men in formation are responsible for much of the cost of their preparation, including tuition, books, travel to and from formation sessions in Jackson, and lodging and meals while attending classes. After ordination, Deacons must continue their education and spiritual formation to serve God's people effectively, often paying these expenses themselves.
Your gift can help ease this burden and ensure that financial concerns do not stand in the way of a man's call to serve. Donations to this campaign will help provide:
· Tuition and formation costs
· Books and educational materials
· Travel expenses
· Annual retreats
· Ongoing formation programs for ordained deacons
By supporting this campaign, you are not simply funding a program. You are helping form servant leaders who proclaim the Gospel, care for the vulnerable, strengthen our parishes, and bring the love of Christ to people throughout the Diocese of Jackson.

The Gospel of John, Chapter 4 has come to me multiple times this week. I need to take some time to reflect on what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell me.

[Ryan @Marinemindset]

@SierraUh_ Ooh rah devil. Happy belated birthday

[Ryan @Marinemindset]

The Archdiocese of Portland is asking the faithful not to hold hands or raise their hands in the orans posture during the Our Father at Mass. It cites the GIRM, Sacrosanctum Concilium 22.3, and Canon 907: that posture belongs to the priest, who prays on behalf of the people. 🙏

Let me know what you think?

Happy belated Birthday to the greatest fighting force known to man.

To all of those that served and are serving today, thank you for your service to this amazing country. We are safer because of your sacrifice.

May God bless you all.
