At this moment, Seán Cardinal O'Malley is preaching the homily for the Transitional Diaconate Ordination here in Boston. Five men from our own Blessed John National Seminary are joined by four other men from two other Boston based seminaries to be ordained. I am laid up in my dorm room with a bum knee and a bad bug, but nonetheless have a wonderful view of the Mass on CatholicTV. I have seen most of our priests in the procession, many members of our schola in the choir, and all of our transitional deacons from around the nation in procession.
In about four months, these same nine men will be ordained as priests, also at the Cathedral in Boston.
God willing, on January 17th, 2015; I will be standing where they are today
