Καθολικός διάκονος

Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."

JPII: "to live in His love today and forever"

Pope John Paul II passed into life eternal six years ago today. I still miss him tremendously. Watching this elicits very deep emotion in me, it stirs my heart. He lived what he preached to the very end of his life, thus giving faithful witness to the One he faithfully served to his last breath.

In anticipation of his beatification on Divine Mercy Sunday, 1 May 2011, the Holy See has set-up a YouTube channel dedicated to JPII.

Papa Wojtyla, pray for us!

About Me

Deacon Scott: I am husband and Dad to six lovely children. I am also a Roman Catholic deacon of the Diocese of Salt Lake City. I married in 1993, became a Dad for the first time in 1994 and most recently in 2011 (quite a spread). I was was ordained in 2004. After serving as a deacon for 11 years at The Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City (8 years before I was ordained for a total of 19 years), I am now assigned to St Olaf Parish in Bountiful, Utah. I am a graduate of the University of Utah and the Institute in Pastoral Ministry at St. Mary's University of Minnesota. Most recently, I earned a Doctorate in Ministry (D.Min) at Mount Angel Seminary, Oregon. Along with 5 classmates, I was privileged to be a member of the first D.Min class at the seminary. In addition to serving in parish ministry, I serve as Director of the Office of the Diaconate for the Diocese of Salt Lake City. In this capacity I serve my bishop by serving my fellow deacons and their wives as well as having charge of forming new deacons.

Madeleine Delbrêl

"We fashion the immortal being we are through our choices. Through our choices we bring the man in us to the fullness of life or to the worst of human suffering. At the hour of his death each human being has become either a person who will live with God forever, or who will be without God forever" Madeleine Delbrêl

St. Paul

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" (Rom. 12:1-2)
