What is a Deacon? | By Deacon Tom

[@Tommytat2]

I'm Greek Orthodox and was contemplating on becoming a Deacon for the Greek Orthodox faith. Good luck with your channel.

[@StoleBearer]

@@jacksonreese17 I pray you come to Orthodoxy.

[@jacksonreese17]

Funny enough, I did. Thanks for the comment, I deleted the other one

[@KSTrekker]

I am so glad I found your channel! I am new to the Catholic faith and currently in RCIA. I was formerly Protestant and studied the Bible (Protestant version) extensively, but I wandered for years with no church. I had a conversion experience to Catholicism and from the time I wake up until I go to bed, I find myself praying or meditating on God's Word. I can't wait to attend Mass on Sunday and I am considering attending daily Mass. I just have this insatiable desire for the Church and serving God. When I recently visited with the Associate Pastor in my Parish, he asked me if I had considered a vocation. I was really taken back by his question. "Well, Father, I'm still trying to become a Catholic." One step at a time. He asked me to prayerfully consider becoming a permanent deacon. How do I know God is calling me? The more I think about it, I can see myself serving God, my Church, and my Community in this role. I lived apart from the Church for so many years and served only my needs. I am willing to die to myself and put the needs of others and want God wants ahead of my own. I look forward to more of your videos. God Bless Brother!

[@maestrovichozo6586]

I read every damn word you wrotePray that he will be healthy, and maybe that he will also be a deacon one day. Just pray to your GOD, for this stranger, please

[@johncarey5266]

As a deacon myself, I completely agree with this. My pastor knows the details but most people know very little about the position and my ministry. The most important part to me is having one foot in the world and the other in the Church, able to relate to people in both faith and real world problems is a huge asset to the faith and congregation and never be afraid to talk to your deacon about anything.

[@ronaldsmisek1253]

Excellent, as always. The difference in lighting … no problem.

Hi I'm Indian Christian & small community in North Eastern State of India. 💯👍

[@matthewgreenrod365]

Thank you for sharing. Good job and God bless

[@Jeremy-rp3in]

I always imagined it if we're speaking of a military standard ... the Priest is like a full time officer, and a Deacon is a National Guard NCO. 😊 NCO are absolutely vital to the well being of a unit much as a Deacon is very important to the Clergy.

[@kelly4187]

I would disagree as the equivalent of the commission is Holy Orders in this analogy. Lay ministers would fill the various NCO ranks, but the ordained are the officers. Perhaps the permanent deacon is the captain: to have direct command of a specific body with an objective purpose. Priests would be a major or colonel: more strategic with regard their realm of influence and responsibility, such as over a regiment (analogy for a parish). The Bishop would be a general, with strategic oversight of many organisational units (parishes and communities).

I love this video. We need to support small channels

[@CarlitoPessoa]

Thank you!

FISH eat mosquitoes use mint oil or Neem to keep bugs from biting and cut back mosquito hatch by spraying finely on the water.Neem oil will also protect crops from grasshoppers and other pests.

[@sergiogonzalez736]

Hey Deacon, what kind of camera did you use? Great quality

[@damianooi8261]

I am getting married next year but I am contemplating becoming a deacon. But my fiance worried that I will neglect her while serving God and His Church

[@lightoffaithchristian4382]

She should also serve God alongside you 🙏

[@Damian-kl3wb]

"I apologize for the lighting" 😅

[@jeffdishong4853]

I don’t know. I have a really hard time considering Catholics Christians. But i am also not to judge, or i will be judged by my same rule. As a Deacon who is not Catholic, could someone please aid me in this a bit? Im sure you already know why i think this, so if someone has a bit of knowledge on those topics, id appreciate any advice i can get. Thank you and God bless.

[@tek30]

Hello! Are Deacons limited to serving in one Church or the Archdiocese?

[@sergiogonzalez736]

The deacon is ordained to serve the entire Church not only his parish

[@tomasikebab9605]

No. but they should stay in one church unless another church needs deacons.

[@kelly4187]

Two years late, but I'll answer anyway in case someone stumbles across this. Don't forget that both the priest and the deacon are sharing in the faculties of the Bishop, who holds the totality of the apostolic service and priesthood. As such the deacon is primarily a servant to the Bishop, their right hand, not that of the priest. So they will absolutely stay in one diocese, unless the family move and they transfer to a new diocese and a new bishop. In terms of parish it depends what the bishop wants and needs. Many permanent deacons serve their home parish in some capacity, but many have roles that are more diocesan in scope and have minimal involvement in their parish. Also, this can change based on orders from the Bishop.

[@lazulimoon1970]

Please, I am from the old school. I would like to know all the changes in relation to sexual or carnal intercourse in relation to receiving the holy host and drinking the sacred wine during mass. Please, answer my question.

[@antepetrish8113]

I am a Roman Catholic Christian by Birth & by my Baptism so If I became a Deacon now at age 20 can I still be Marry & Childern still ?

[@hosephanerothe1440]

In my diocese once you become a deacon (if single) you vow to be celibate, if you are married you continue in that relationship unless widowed and then become celibate

[@annA-fl8um]

@@hosephanerothe1440 give me scriptures that states a deacon can't be married. The first title of a deacon is one with one wife.

[@annA-fl8um]

go to romans it will tell you the title of a deacon and the first is a deacon should be the husband to one wife so yes a deacon can get married it's better to marry than to burn.

[@antepetrish8113]

@@annA-fl8um OK what about children then ?

[@annA-fl8um]

@@antepetrish8113 read romans it will tell you the title of a deacon

[@lazulimoon1970]

I would like to know if a Deacon, marriage men who furnicates all night can touch the sacred chalice; drink the wine, open and close the sacristia and serve to others the sacred host. Please, answer my questions. Thanks.

[@rufioreed3953]

I want to be a deacon.

[@Beanbag777]

If you want to be a deacon you should probably not be one. You should only feel “called” not “want” to be in one

[@rufioreed3953]

This logic makes no sense... My will is his will. So are you always so negative to other people in your life? Please don't do that.

[@paloy3551]

Im a married Catholic man and I somehow I feel compelled by the holy spirit to become a permament deacon. I am not sure and I humbly ask all of you my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for me. Godbless us all

[@allanmherrera]

Do deacons wear collars? I thought only priests wore those.

[@kaeya-san3103]

Apparently every clerical personnel could wear it, from what I saw online. It’s called a clerical Collar

[@via8029]

if only the permanent diaconate is accepted in my country.....

[@grtexas4741]

The Deacon in the Catholic church is different from the Deacon in a holiness, Holy Ghost Filled church.

[@jackwagon527]

you just compared special forces to deacons, after saying you were in the military.
