Reading - about deacons
I was a lector this morning (triple duty today - lector at 8, play with the choir at 9:30, practice with Rock of Faith at 11!).
One of the readings was about the first deacons.
Given my not being canonically acceptable for the diaconate - my own fault - I felt sadness as I prepared and as I read.
Not deep wrenching sadness. More of a whistfulness.
What might have been.
But then, I would not be getting so involved with music were I in the diaconate now.
God uses us where we are.

What reason was given to you for not being canonically acceptable, if I may ask?
It wasn't something that threatens my immortal soul. It was just something I did that showed a poor judgement and a lack of spiritual maturity. Certainly not what one would expect of a deacon.
I'm not mad at the diocese for the problem. It was my own fault.
I wasn't trying to be nosy. It's just certain things are fixable, say like an attempted marriage. I'm more curious about how the different dioceses interpret these things.
