Called to Serve

What is the special role of the deacon in the Church today? How can a deacon cultivate a spirituality appropriate to that role?

Ordained to the Word, the liturgy, and charity, deacons put on Christ in a special way, as "servant called to justice." Deacons make a public and permanent commitment to the Church and to the people of God.

Through scripture, examples and reflection questions, Dr. Phylis Zagano offers an approachable introduction to a theology and spirituality for today's deacon.
