Can you say where in the gospels Jesus institutes the presbyterate (priesthood) and the deaconate? Hint: nowhere.
 

St. Ignatius Loyola recommended the use of the imagination in prayer, placing ourselves in the gospel events in order to experience and understand them. It can, indeed, be a way to deepen one’s encounter with the Lord in scripture.
 
However, there is a story in John’s gospel that defeats my imagination. John 8:3-11 tells of a woman who had been “caught in the very act of committing adultery.”
