It’s precisely through this service that she carries out her mission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ancient diaconate was instituted, and has been restored in our time, not simply to stand alongside priestly, religious, and lay ministry but to imbue and empower each with a renewed sense of service. Indeed, the Greek word diakonia, which is translated in English as “service,” can also be translated into the Latin word ministerium, translated in English as “ministry.” Thus, when we look at episcopal ministry, priestly ministry, religious ministry, or lay ministry, service is essential to all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eService is not something we do but someone we give: our very selves. It is an act of love rooted in a divine love already poured out for us. This book provides a radical but thoroughly consistent rethinking of the Christian life that takes up the tradition and builds upon it in a way that is both old and new.","published_at":"2022-04-27T12:17:40","created_at":"2022-04-27T12:17:40","vendor":"Our Sunday Visitor","type":"BOOK","tags":["Subject_Spirituality","Type_Books"],"price":1695,"price_min":1695,"price_max":1695,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[39924601028675],"variants":[{"id":39924601028675,"product_id":6683015020611,"product_handle":"discovering-christ-the-servant","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"894-0592","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"DISCOVERING CHRIST THE SERVANT - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":1695,"weight":230,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":3,"incoming":false,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":""}],"available":true,"images":["\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/894-0592.gif?v=1651086065"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/894-0592.gif?v=1651086065","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/discovering-christ-the-servant"}
