Father Alvaro Corcuera speak about new deacons of the Legionaries of Christ

The Legionaries of Christ started the Year for Priests with the ordination of 38 deacons from nine countries. Among them are Mexicans, Americans, Spaniards and even a Vietnamese.

They were ordained by Archbishop Mauro Piacenza, member of the Vaticans Congregation for the Clergy. Father Alvaro Corcuera, general director of the Legionaries of Christ, was also present.

This ordination signifies, above all, the response of a few men who have been invited by Jesus Christ to love, and to give their lives. Thats why it represents a moment of a blessing from God, a big joy.

Juan Gerardo Cabrera
Deacon
For me its a big day. Today Ive received a great gift from God, undeserved, surely. But I think I was called to this, to help people, serve them, to help them become saints, and to help them reach the goal in life of sainthood and get to heaven.

Javier González
Deacon
Its a very emotional moment, a very important moment in my life after 13 years of formation. Its an exciting moment.

Were very happy that hes happy with his vocation.

The new deacons will now start preparing for their priestly ordination set for December. Then they will be sent to 22 countries where the religious Order is present.

The Legionaries of Christ has some 800 priests and 2,600 seminarians. Thats why the Year for Priests has a special meaning to them.

Fr. Alvaro Corcuera
General Director, Legionaries of Christ
The best initiatives are prayer and living a life of charity, not so much in giving things, which is important, but giving our hearts and our lives. Being a key so that other people can discover that God loves them and so that we are able to rejoice in the heart of Christ.

The charisma of the Legionaries of Christ is shared by the apostolic movement Regnum Christi, counting mostly laymen and women, along with deacons and priests, and adding up to 75,000 members in more than 30 countries.

@obner0011 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. -1 Corinthians 4: 14-16

It would be of great benefit to your congregation to change your name. As it stands you are swimming against a relentless current and true wisdom only requires one to swim only against the possible; sometimes you one must know when it's time to build a boat! God bless you all.
