Discerning Deacons le da esperanza a la Iglesia. Las mujeres ordenadas son fundamentales y necesarias. Las mujeres laicas y las monjas ya hacen el trabajo de los diáconos en todo el mundo. La sanción oficial de la Iglesia (ordenación) sólo confirmaría lo que ya está sucediendo.

El cincuenta por ciento de las voces de la Iglesia no se escuchan desde el púlpito. Esto frustra la labor del Espíritu Santo. La Iglesia está mal atendida a causa de ello.

En 2019, escribí una carta a todos los obispos de Estados Unidos haciendo referencia a la necesidad de la ordenación de mujeres. No hubo respuesta. Ahora, a través de Discerning Deacons, está habiendo un fuerte impulso.

Hace un par de años oí hablar de Casey y Ellie del Apostolado y Comunidad de Discerning Deacons y desde entonces he participado en sus reuniones de Zoom.

“I have been blessed with women who have shared their many gifts with me. They have broken open Scripture for the people of God with their own perspective and insight. They have shown ways of leading which empower and confirm the value of each individual person. They have offered perspectives and visions of the Spirit’s call to live God’s love for all.”

“If I could be ordained a deacon, the people would hear the Good News preached with authority at the pulpit and in the world. For me personally, it would feel like the ability to serve in the manner in which God has put on my heart to serve. As a minister of the word, liturgy and charity, I would preach the word to inspire others to love God and their neighbor. I would continue to bring communion to the sick and imprisoned, but I would also free our priests by taking on some baptisms, weddings, and funeral services that are outside of the Mass. It would feel like the fullness of what I was meant to do.”

“And when I get antsy waiting, as I often do, I remember the women I met who showed me that the ‘not yet’ is an “already.” Women deacons have existed and continue to exist. Someday, I may be one of them.“
