I noticed a new website on my sitemeter, checked it out and, lo and behold, it seems to be all about one man’s journey toward ordination as a Catholic deacon.

There’s a lot of interesting material here about the author’s particular program — though I don’t think he says where he is, and he goes simply by the name of “Stephen,” the first deacon. You’ll also find posts on the role of wives and praying the Liturgy of the Hours and all things related to the diaconate formation.

Anyone discerning should check it out: it’s called Pray for vocations.

Indeed. Pray without ceasing!

Good luck and traveling mercies, “Stephen,” as you continue on your journey. You’re in my prayers.
