ITURGY OF THE WORD JEREMIAH 1:4-9
Proclaimed in English
El Señor me dirigió estas palabras: "Desde antes de formarte en el seno materno, te conozco; desde antes de que nacieras, te consagré profeta para las naciones". Yo le contesté: "Pero, Señor mío, yo no sé expresarme, porque apenas soy un muchacho". El Señor me dijo: "No digas que
eres un muchacho, pues irás a donde yo te envíe y dirás lo que yo te mande. No tengas miedo, porque yo estoy contigo para protegerte", palabra del Señor. El Señor extendió entonces su brazo, con su mano me tocó la boca y me dijo: "Desde hoy pongo mis palabras en tu boca." The Word of the Lord. RESPONSE: Thanks be to God.

PSALM 89
Responsorial Psalm
1. Encontré a David mi siervo y lo he ungido con óleo sagrado; para que mi mano esté siempre con él y mi brazo lo haga valeroso. 2. Mi fidelidad y misericordia lo acompañarán, por mi nombre crecerá su poder. 3. He shall call to me, "My God, my rock of salvation, my salvation."
2 CORINTHIANS 4:1-2,5-7 Proclaimed in Spanish
Brothers and sisters: Since we have this ministry through the mercy shown us, we are not discouraged. Rather, we have renounced shameful, hidden things; not acting deceitfully or falsifying the word of God, but by the open declaration of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord,
Second Reading
and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus. For God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ. But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us. Palabra de Dios. Response: Te alabamos, Señor.

Gospel
Deacon: The Lord be with you. All: And with your spirit. Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John. All: Glory to you, O Lord.
JOHN 15:9-17 Proclaimed in English
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Como el Padre me ama, así los amo yo. Permanezcan en mi amor. Si cumplen mis mandamientos, permanecen en mi amor; lo mismo que yo cumplo los mandamientos de mi Padre y permanezco en su amor. Les he di cho esto para que mi alegría esté en ustedes y su alegría sea plena. Este es mi mandamiento: que se amen los unos a los otros como yo los he amado. Nadie tiene amor más grande a sus amigos, que el que da la vida por ellos. Ustedes son mis amigos, si hacen lo que yo les mando. Ya no los llamo siervos,
Election of the Candidates PLEASE BE SEATED
O
porque el siervo no sabe lo que hace su amo; a ustedes los llamo amigos, porque les he dado a conocer todo lo que Ie he oído a mi Padre. No son ustedes los que me han elegido, soy yo quien los ha elegido y los ha destinado para que vayan y den fruto y su fruto permanezca, de modo que el Padre les conceda cuanto Ie pidan en mi nombre. Esto es lo que les mando: que se amen los unos a los otros". The Gospel of the Lord. RESPONSE: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
RDINATION
The men who will be ordained as transitional deacons are called forward and presented to Bishop Walkowiak. Father Ronald Hutchinson, director of priestly vocations, testifies to their readiness. The bishop announces the election of the candidates: Bishop: Relying on the help of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ, we choose these, our brothers, for the Order of the Diaconate. All give their assent by responding "Thanks be to God," followed by applause.

Homily Most Reverend David J. Walkowiak Bishop of Grand Rapids
Promise of the Elect
The candidates stand and make these promises: to be consecrated as ministers of the Church, to serve with humble charity, to proclaim the Christian faith in word and deed, and to pray faithfully the Liturgy of the Hours. Because Stephen, Steven and Kyle anticipate ordination to the priesthood, they also commit to embrace celibacy as a sign of their dedication to Christ. Finally, each kneel before the bishop and promise to respect and obey him and his successors.
Litany of Supplication
As an expression of humility, the candidates prostrate themselves for the Litany of the Saints.

The gift of the Holy Spirit for the office of deacon is conferred on the candidates through the laying on of hands by the bishop and the Prayer of Ordination. (At the end of the prayer, all respond: Amen)
Investiture with Stole and Dalmatic
The stole is the single most recognizable symbol of the deacon. It is to be worn whenever he exercises a liturgical or sacramental role. The stole is worn over the left shoulder, and extends diagonally across the front and back of the upper body and over the hip. The dalmatic is a special tunic that is worn primarily at Mass.
Handing On of the Book of the Gospels
The Presentation of the Book of the Gospels signifies the office of the deacon to proclaim the Gospel in liturgical celebrations and to preach the faith of the Church in word and in deed.

The bishop stands and extends a greeting of peace to the newly ordained. All the deacons who are present express their fraternity to the newly ordained deacons.

Prayer for the Jubilee of Mercy Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!" You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
