Thank you, and see you all at Ferragosto 2015, Pompeii! Our Lady of the Rosary A New Shepherd by. Cherie Peacock & Mary Elizabeth Novell Today, Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd, the one who lays down his life for his sheep. Our reflection on this Gospel passage comes as we as a diocese celebrate having a new shepherd. On April 15th, 2015, San Diego celebrated the installation of Bishop Robert W. McElroy as the sixth bishop of San Diego. More than 1,000 people attended the Mass at St. Therese of Carmel Church. Cardinals, bishops, priests, sisters, and representatives from all 98 parishes of the diocese were in attendance, along with representatives from the Armenian Apostolic, Ukrainian Orthodox, Lutheran, Mormon, and Muslim clergy. In his homily, Bishop McElroy pointed out that the gift of Baptism is what unites us and is more important than any particular position we might hold in the Church. He quoted St. Augustine, saying “For you I am a bishop; with you I am a Christian.” He went on to outline the three central challenges before the diocese at this moment in history. The first challenge is to proclaim the unlimited mercy of God. Bishop McElroy quoted Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI: “Mercy is the central nucleus of God’s message; it is the very name of God, the face with which he revealed himself in the old covenant and fully in Jesus Christ.” But mercy does not mean “evacuating the moral law of its substance and challenge,” Bishop McElroy emphasized. Rather, it means to imitate Jesus’ approach to people: “embracing them with loving mercy, then healing their wounds, and only then proclaiming the moral law of reform.” The second challenge is to witness to the grace of God present in the richness of our cultural diversity. “This diversity constitutes a powerful gift of the Holy Spirit palpably present here in our midst,” he said. The congregation included representatives from the Irish, Hispanic, Filipino, Vietnamese, African American, Tongan, Native American, and Armed Forces communities, underlining the diversity. Finally, we should seek to build bridges in our contemporary world. “We Catholics are not called to separate from culture, nor to be co-opted by our culture, nor to war against our culture, but to embrace our culture with a powerful and transformative love rooted in the Gospel,” the bishop said. Page 6 Little Italy, San Diego, CA Installation of a Bishop How Is It Done? The ceremony is called the Rite of Canonical Possession, and it happens at the beginning of the Installation Mass. Reading and Presentation of the Apostolic Mandate The Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, read the Apostolic Mandate from the Holy See appointing Bishop McElroy. Then the Letter was formally presented to the Chancellor, Rodrigo Valdivia, then to the College of Consultors, and then to the people. Seating of the Bishop Once the bishop-designate accepts the responsibility of shepherding the diocese, he is then led to the cathedra or bishop’s chair. Bp. McElroy was seated by Archbishops Gomez and Vigano. Once seated, he was given his crosier (shepherd’s staff) and mitre, indicating that he had officially taken possession of the Diocese of San Diego.

Our Lady’s Gifts www.ourladysgiftshop.org (619) 234-0162 ~ [email protected] Please, come to Church Dressed Appropriately! To be modestly and tastefully dressed is a sign of respect for God, for our selves, and for others. It’s a false assumption that God does not care how we dress. Jesus told us “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do it to me.” If our attire is indecently provocative (short shorts, strapless, backless, spaghetti strap dresses/tops, or displaying cleavage), displaying unwholesome graphics (skulls, advertisements, scantly clad people) or tattered, it becomes offensive to our brothers and sisters who are worshipping the Lord and therefore offensive to God’s Majesty. Ask this question: “Would you dress this way before God?” You are! He sees everything and you are in His house.
