What does it mean to be a deacon today? In his bestselling The Heart of the Diaconate , James Keating offers a profound and stirring vision of diaconal ministry grounded not in function, but in interior communion with the Servant Christ. With theological depth and pastoral sensitivity, Keating explores the spiritual foundations of the permanent diaconate, calling deacons and those in formation to a life of prayerful intimacy, sacramental identity, and humble availability to the wounds of the world. Marking the tenth anniversary of its original release, this revised edition deepens its original reflections in light of recent developments in formation, ecclesial mission, and vocational discernment. With special attention to spiritual direction, ecclesial imagination, celibacy, marriage, and the cultural context of deacons' lives, Keating invites readers into a contemplative transformation that sustains authentic ministry. Whether you are discerning the diaconate, engaged in formation, or serving in ordained ministry, this book challenges and encourages you to live not simply as one who "helps out" in the parish, but as one in whom Christ continues to live his servant mysteries for the sake of the Church and the world.

The Heart of the Diaconate is fruitful reading not only for deacons, bishops, and priests, but also for anyone in or involved with diaconal formation." -- Church Life Journal Deacon James Keating, PhD , is professor of spiritual theology at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, St Louis, Missouri, and the author of Remain in Me: Holy Orders, Prayer, and Ministry . He has over thirty years of experience in forming both priests and deacons and is the author of many books on clerical formation. He previously served as director of deacon formation in the Archdiocese of Omaha. +
