From Dr. Scott Hahn's foreword Deacons are united in their spirit of service. It’s something they can never put aside. They’re united not only locally but universally — and not only within the Church militant, but with the Church triumphant. The deacons who serve my parish today are not descendants of Lawrence and Ephrem; they are their contemporaries and brothers. Helping deacons grow in greater intimacy with Christ the Servant Encountering Christ the Servant provides permanent deacons and deacon candidates with an integrated approach to diaconal life and ministry deeply rooted in the cultivation of the interior life. By entering into deep communion with Christ the Servant, the deacon is formed and equipped to serve the Church in the specific ministries entrusted to him. A note from Deacon Dominic Cerrato, Ph.D. In writing this book and presenting my thoughts, I don’t wish to imply that I’m some sort of spiritual master or even an authority on mystical and spiritual theology. I come as one poor beggar showing other poor beggars where the food is. This work merely represents my own ponderings as they’ve been shaped by my own particular theological and spiritual formation within the Catholic tradition. I’m convinced that what I’ve stumbled upon is meant not just for me but for any and all who might benefit from it. In this, I humbly lay at your feet, my dear brother deacons, whatever worth you find in this book so that, together and in union with Him, we may bear witness to Christ the Servant, fulfilling our vocations and contributing to the mission of the Church.
