Inspiring Consecration Sermon==~

Manual Furnished Congregation j A manual furnished by the Abbey at Conception wa handed each member of the congregation attending the serv- ices, and enabled all to follow clo ely a. the ceremonies progressed. Sublime Meaning of Consecration "The function of consecration may vroperly be divided imo the prelimi- nary examination, the consecration proper and the investiture. The first part includes the form of ascertaining solemnly that the Bishop-elect has the right to Episcopal consecration; of re- ceiving his oath of submission to the Holy See, the center of unity; and of inquiring into the orthodoxy of his faith. The form of oath embodied in this manual is that prescribed for ths Bishops of "the l'nited States in the Second Council of Baltimore. In the examination the Bishop-elect is made to profess categorically his belief in the different matters of faith that have been particularly attacked by heretics, especially the doctrine of the Incarna- tion. These preliminaries having been duly gone through with, the Mass is begun. its simultaneous celebration by Consecrat or and Bishop-elect betoken- ing the unity of their faith. "Immediately after the Gradual or Tract. the consecration ceremony be- gins. with the solemn announcement by the consecralor of the lawful duties of a Bishop. The different rites and prayers sufficiently indicate their pur- pose. The majesty of the plain chant in the Litanies. the \'eni Creator, and the preface is perhaps unsurpassed by any other portion of the liturgy. "The consecration ceremony proper being finished, the new Bishop is in- vested with the crosier and ring proper

to the prayers and admonitions accompanying the in- vesture clearly indicating their uses and purposes. ·'The .:\las,; proceeds with the con- ecrator and the ne" Bishop celebrat- ing in uni,on at the altar. After the Communion (the ne Bishop com- municating both of the Sacred Host and Precious Blood) the new Bishop receives the mitre and gloves, which ha,·e been solemnly blessed by the con- secrator. Then with the utmost pomp the new Bishop is enthroned on the Episcopal seat, while the magnificent 'Te Deum' is intoned." During this hymn, Bishop Buddy, together with the two co-consecrators, left the sanctuary and blessed mem- bers of his family, including his sis- ters, Sister Mary :l.fagdalyn, C.S.C., Su- perior of Sacred Heart Academy at Ogden, Ftah; Mrs. L. J. Dandurant, ::'lfrs. Daniel J. Redmond of Laurelton, Long Island; his brother, Dr. Edward I P. Buddy of St. Louis; Mrs. Buddy, their son and rwo daughters, Mr. Daniel J. Redmond and Miss Ann Elizabeth Dandurant. After bestowing his first Episcopal blessing on his relatives, Bishop Buddy went around the church bless- ing the entire congregation, among v.'hich "·ere many religious orders, in- cluding the Benedictine Sisters, mem- bers of the Precious Blood Order, Sis- ters of the Holv Ghost Community, Sisters of St. Joseph, Franciscan Sis- I ters, Felician Sisters and Sisters ' Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, Sister of the Holy Cross from Notre Dame Sisters of Charity from Leavenworth and other Communities within the dio I cese and from adjacent places. \ Following this, Bishop Buddy re- turned to the sanctuary, where he was given the Ids,; of peace by Bishop Le Blond and the ceremony ended, Father Buddy becoming a direct successor to the Apostles. a Prince of the Church/ and the .first Shepherd of the new See of Sau, Diego in California. the Episcopal Order,

Buddy_ elvated to the crimson of the Episco- pate. Never has St. Jo~eph's stately Cathedral appeared so regal. In the arch above each marble side altar ap- peared a sheered rosette of crimson, upon which were mounted the coats of arms of the Papacy and Bishop Buddy, respectively. Crim on also were the . a tin drapes o\·er the tabernacle of the main altar; crimson, too, were the poinsettias banked above the tabernacle, betray- ing the near approach of the festal ,.;eason. Tall vases of American Beau- ties against a background of green palms completed the color scheme, which blended beautifully with the rich gold of the tabernacle, can- delabrum and the gold crests of the Bishops' thrones, one on the south of the sanctuary, occupied by His Grace Archbishop Glennon, and the other on the north side, by Bishop Le Dlond. Procession Starts Colorful was this beautiful setting, but perhaps more colorful was the I pageantry ot' the procession. All pha es of our Catholic life seemed represented. The modern Catholic I Youth Movement, in the military swing of the Boy Scouts carrying Papal and American flag , followed by the trim clad nurses of St. Joseph's Hospital School of ursing in spotless uniforms and caps with their crismon lined military capes of gray. Next came the Sacred Heart Convent girls, whose white caps and gowns were in strik- ing contrasts to the gray caps and gowns of the C. B. H. S. boys. Following these came the seminari- ans and clergy in black cassocks and white surplices. The modern note faded a,rny as the colorful scarlet of the ;\fonsignori made \my for the medieval splendor of the Princes of I the Church-Bishops and Archbishops, 1 he latter two, Bishop Le Blond and Archbishop Glennon, in cappa magna and ermine. with train-bearer~.
