What Does The Prayer Really Say?
W D T P R S

Today the Holy Father brought to a conclusion his teaching about the early workers in the Lord’s vinyard with a fascinating presentation about the women involved in the early Church.

Among the various things he spoke about, and I recommend that you read his audience address, Pope Benedict spoke about the woman Phoebe who was described with the Greek word "diakonos".  The Pope made a clear distinction that the word "deacon" for her did not have any heirarchical ministerial implications, Phoebe nevertheless exercised a measure of responsibility in her local Church and St. Paul gives her due recognition, saying that she had helped many people including himself.
