If the vocations of women as deacons were again recognized, as in the early centuries of the Church, the Body of Christ would be strengthened. Discerning Deacons is helping renew the Church by engaging Catholics in this discernment.”
“I dream of a world where girls and women sitting in pews around the world can feel empowered to follow the Holy Spirit’s call wherever it takes them, including the diaconate.”
“On two occasions, Pope Francis has established commissions to discern the question of women and the diaconate. Now it’s time for all in the Church to do so.”
“I’m glad to endorse Discerning Deacons and encourage those seeking meaningful ways to pray and act together on this important question for our time.”
“The flock, especially women in need of ministry, would be more effectively shepherded if women were clearly and visibly available as deacons.”
“We need a wider participation of women in the whole life of the Church. The diaconate would be a great step in the right direction.”
“The time has come to embrace and empower the gifts of women in the leadership, governance and sacramental ministry of the Church.”
“Just as the Church is richer for having deacons, the diaconate will be richer and more representative when we see the restoration of women to the Order.”
“It is time to return to the practice found in the earliest experience of the Christian Church. If women are again ordained as deacons, the Church will more fully receive the gifts of women.”
“Our ministry as consecrated women is incredibly powerful, but some of us, who feel called to be ordained as deacons, could do even more than what we are doing now.”
