THE RITE OF ORDINATION ELECTION OF THE CANDIDATES

After the candidates have been presented, the Bishop elects them for ordination. Applause is an appropriate sign of approval.

HOMILY

The Bishop speaks to the candidates and to all assembled about the offices and duties of the deacon.

PROMISE OF THE ELECT Since the Deacon serves under the authority of the Bishop, the candidates pledge

obedience and respect to their Ordinary Bishop and the Bishop’s successors. LITANY OF SUPPLICATION Litany of the Saints

The candidates lie prostrate before the altar as a sign of their humble submission to God’s will and so that the assembly, in communion with all the saints, may pray for them.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND THE PRAYER OF ORDINATION

The essence of the Sacrament of Holy Orders: the Bishop lays his hands upon the head of each candidate, an action which confers the Holy Spirit, and then prays the words of consecration.

Latona

HANDING ON THE BOOK OF THE GOSPELS

With the reception of the Book of the Gospels, the newly ordained deacons are instructed to believe, teach and practice the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

HANDING ON THE BOOK OF THE GOSPELS PSALM 84

KISS OF PEACE PSALM 146

If Ye Love Me, Thomas Tallis (c. 1505-1585) John 14:15-17: If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever, e’en the spirit of truth.

Ubi Caritas, Mode VI

Where there is charity and love, God is there. The love of Christ has gathered us together into one. Let us rejoice and be glad in Him. Let us fear and love the living God, and love each other from the depths of our heart.

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST OFFERTORY Ave Verum Corpus,, Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) Text ascribed to Pope Innocent VI, d. 1362: Hail true body, born of the Virgin Mary, who truly suffered and who was sacrificed on the cross for all people; whose side was pierced, flowing forth with water and blood; which would be for us a foretaste of heaven, in the trial of death.
