Jason went through the last step toward becoming a permanent deacon this past weekend. As an acolyte in the Church he now has more duties at the altar to assist priests and deacons during the Mass in order to get him more accustomed to doing those things when he becomes a deacon. It was an absolutely beautiful Mass with a glimpse of the very near future for our family. I have mixed emotions on what will be our "downhill road" toward ordination with only 1-1/2 years left. I know it seems like a long time, but any time I can get with this family of ours, I truly embrace and savor. The Grace I am gifted with on the weekends at Schoenstatt are something I treasure and don't necessarily look forward to letting go of as of right now. Now I know why they call it "formation" and I am so blessed that this program allows the wives to be a part of what will essentially change our lives and our family forever.
