Ordination

I was at an ordination of a deacon yesterday. It was a lovely day, and the church was very beautiful. The service was very joyful, particularly the Alleluia before the gospel, and the most moving part was when the wife was asked to present the deacon's vestments to the bishop before some of the other deacons helped him put them on. I felt really honoured to be there. It was a sunny day, too, which was good.
