In the homily at Mass for the Ordination of Deacons on June 2, Archbishop Robert J. Carlson quoted the Prayer of Consecration, which he would use in ordaining each of 25 men to the permanent diaconate.
“May (these men) excel in every virtue: in love that is sincere, in concern for the sick and the poor, in unassuming authority, in self-discipline and in holiness of life. May they imitate Jesus who came not to be served but to serve.”
“Not to be served but to serve” is the higher calling not only of clergy and consecrated life but of Roman Catholics everywhere in the universal Church — to humble oneself and serve others without distinction, regardless of race, status or wealth.
Service to others is at the heart of the Catholic faith, and our headline accompanying in the story about the ordination of deacons incorrectly stated this important calling (Living Our Faith, page 13, June 11-17, print edition only). The error embarrassed Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, the newly ordained deacons and the diaconate community, who selflessly put others first to serve. Similarly, the incorrect headline diminished the service ethic of clergy and religious, social justice and health care workers, teachers, public servants — all Catholics who give freely of themselves in service.
Our readers expect more from us; we expect more of ourselves.
We’re sorry for the mistake.

That is how you apologize. Why do so many find it too difficult?
That is quite an error in print. It turns the meaning completely on its head. I’m sure most will understand that it was a misprint
Kudos to the diocese for the great size of the deaconate class. Forgiveness is a must as is mercy. If we expect each from others, each must be given by us in equal measure.
Yet, one must take pause; When considering the media, which is so often not a fan of the true Catholic Church, one must wonder if the error is of the subconscious. A set mind is often the cause of a slip of the tongue, or in this case, a slip of print.
