Review
"This Directory is intended to serve the Catholic Church in the United States in its preparation for permanent deacons. Although the Directory is aimed specifically at the Latin Rite Churches, it can also with minor revisions be useful to the churches of the Eastern Rite. This work was approved by the Bishops' Conference in June 2003 to become effective on December 26, 2004, the traditional feast of the first deacon, Saint Stephen. The introduction and preface trace the development of the Permanent Diaconate in the United States since Vatican II and gives a brief acknowledgement of the history of the preparation and promulgation of the Directory. There are two major sections of the book. The first section contains the primary text dealing with the doctrinal understanding of the Diacaonate, vocation, formation, life and ministry of the Deacon as well as a chapter on diocesan organization for an Office of Deacon formation and ministry. This secition is followed by an adequate index. The second section of the book is made up of two secondary documents, "Basic Statement for Readiness" and "Visits of Consultation Teams to Diocesan Permanent Diaconate Formation Programs." The "Basis Readiness..." offers several models for evaluating the candidate's readiness and the document on consultation teams is the sixth edition of the work by the Bishops' Committee on the Diaconate which provides information on the approval and evaluation of Deacon formation programs." "This work is an important reference work along with Basic Norms for the Formation of Permanent Deacons and should be in all Catholic libraries." (Arnold Rzepecki Catholic Library World )

Why Read the National Directory for Life of a Deacon?,
By Kyrious Pascha "Kyrious" (Buffalo, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: National Directory for the Formation, Ministry, and Life of Permanent Deacons (Paperback)
Greetings:
As an Ordained deacon in the Catholic Church, it is a wonderful pleasure to have read this book, and more over, the publication of the book indicates the Church's appreciation for the diaconate, and the ministry, life and life of the Deacon. All Deacons should own this book, Every Priest should own and study this book. It is most important that the clergy read and study this book because it will make know to all the formation of deacons, and what they do are do not do. Even more urgent,is for all to know WHO is the Deacon, this is more important that what he does, this book emphasizes that the deacon is conformed Spriitual to the Person of Christ the Servant and manifests his ministry in the person andn in the name of Jesus Christ.
