THE RITE OF ORDINATION ELECTION OF THE CANDIDATES

After the candidates have been presented, the Bishop elects them for ordination. Applause is an appropriate sign of approval. HOMILY

The Bishop speaks to the candidates and to all assembled about the offices and duties of the deacon.

PROMISE OF THE ELECT Since the Deacon serves under the authority of the Bishop, the candidates pledge

obedience and respect to their Ordinary Bishop and the Bishop’s successors. LITANY OF SUPPLICATION Litany of the Saints

The candidates lie prostrate before the altar as a sign of their humble submission to God’s will and so that the assembly, in communion with all the saints, may pray for them.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND THE PRAYER OF ORDINATION

The essence of the Sacrament of Holy Orders: the Bishop lays his hands upon the head of each candidate, an action which confers the Holy Spirit, and then prays the words of consecration.
