Ordination in Messico-India-Camerun-Nigeria
During the Easter Octave, we had the great joy of having seminarians and deacons from the College receive deacon and priest ordination in their respective countries. Below is the list:
Deacon ordinations in Mexico
On 5 April last, the seminarians Ramiro Vázquez Aguilar and Luis Carlos Rodríguez López received the deacon ordination.
Bishop Gerardo de Jesús Rojas López, Bishop of Tabasco, presided over the ceremony with the two key moments of deacon ordination being the imposition of hands and the consecratory prayer.
The deacon Luis Carlos in his own words to describe the grace he received:
By the grace of God I have been given the ministry of the diaconate. It is true that this grace is undeserved, but by the mercy of God, it is given to men so he may send his graces, which I see as the Lord’s main task for me as the principal charge of the Lord towards me and of which I will make my banner to sustain me in this ministry.
