ST PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL MELBOURNE A Message from Most Rev Peter A Comensoli Archbishop of Melbourne Alleluia! What joy for the life of our Archdiocese to receive the gift of our new Auxiliary Bishops, Anthony Ireland and Martin Ashe, today. We know well the power and meaning of actions in our communications – the way we smile, the way we stand, how we welcome those we know and those new to us. Today as we gather for this remarkable occasion, you will see gestures and actions within this Rite of Ordination that you may not be familiar with; actions that have the power to transform those present, and to communicate in a special way with God. In particular, I ask that you might open your eyes and hearts to the Laying on of Hands. Done in complete silence, each of the bishops present, one-by-one, confers upon the Bishops-elect the grace each will need to be a good and wise shepherd to the people of this Archdiocese. This simple action and accompanying prayer enters the elect into the unbroken succession of the Apostles, that through the power of the Holy Spirit they will receive the fullness of Holy Orders and the authority to teach, govern and sanctify. We ask God that these men be Good Shepherds after the heart of Jesus, in the Archdiocese of
