What a most glorious day! We "adopted" Brian in our family prayers years ago, and through the years our friendship has grown and has become very dear to us. Brian and Husband share their alma mater, and his love and interest in education has caused many fruitful exchanges between us.The bishop's intensely meaningful words were loud and clear, and we prayed for Brian as he stepped forward towards a beautiful life of sacrifice and union with God.
"Beloved son, as you are about to be promoted to the Sacred Order of Subdiaconate, you must consider carefully what is the office that you seek today. So far, you are free and if you wish you can go back to a secular manner of living; should you receive this order, you will not be free to change your mind; you will have to be unceasingly at the service of God. Yet to serve Him is to reign. With His help, you will have to keep chastity and to be always faithful in the service of the Church. So as there is time, think about it and if you wish to persevere in your resolution, in the name of God, come forward. "
