Working with the bishops and priests are deacons

"It is the duty of the deacon, to administer baptism solemnly,
to be custodian and dispenser of the Eucharist,
to assist at and bless marriages in the name of the Church,
to bring Viaticum to the dying,
to read the Sacred Scripture to the faithful,
to instruct and exhort the people,
to preside over the worship and prayer of the faithful,
to administer sacramentals,
to officiate at funeral and burial services.

Since these duties, so very necessary to the life of the Church,
can be fulfilled only with difficulty in many regions,
the diaconate can in the future be restored as a proper and permanent rank of the hierarchy.
This diaconate can, in the future, be conferred upon men of more mature age,
even upon those living in the married state"

Vatican 2: "Restore and extend the diaconate"

"Reform of the reform":  No more permanent deacons

Jesus, please bless all permanent deacons
and may there be many more permanent deacons
especially in places which do not have a priest
