From the publisher and our thoughts on this amazing truth:

Since the first century, in scripture, the history of deaconesses in the Church has been the subject of numerous monographs. What is most evident about the history of deaconesses, however, is how complex the whole subject is. In this exhaustive and thoroughly researched work, Martimort presents a very readable analysis that has become the standard study of the role of women deaconesses in the early Church. He presents in as complete and objective fashion as possible the history, who and what these deaconesses were and what their functions were. What is still missed in the Church is the liturgical role of a woman. Who clear the altar on Thursday. Who serves relentlessly. Jesus did choose. Men. To pick it all up and lead. We all know, Mary, pray for us, it is the woman who holds it all together. St. Philomena, pray for us.
