Duane G. Hunt, D.D., Bishop of Salt Lake, Wednesday, Sept. 24, in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Denver, at the consecration of the Most Rev. Hubert Michael Newell, D.D., as of the Diocese of Cheyenne. “ And behold, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.”—Matt, xxviii, 20. ' The grace of God’s friendship, the highest of all His gifts, has been offered to man in all ages of human existence. It has been fhanifested in many ways; in pat;ernal guidance, in benevolent protection, in redeeming from sin, and in the daily outpouring of mercy and love. This friendship has unfolded itself in a progressive pattern, advancing from distant to close intimacy, until we of today are blessed by its final measure of completeness. The first period of God’s relationship with man includes all the time before the coming of Cur Divine Lord. Limiting attention to the chosen people, to those who had the true faith, we note that even with them there was little close intimacy with God. He was a remote being, far away in heaven, looking down upon His people. Being a pure spirit. He was beyond the power of man to see and touch, He was spoken about only in hushed terms of reverence and fear. So sacred was His proper name that it could be spoken only once each year and then only by the high priest in the holy of holies of the temple. To the Jewish people God was the Omnipotent Creator, the mighty Ruler and King, the Father who commanded, who threatened, and yho punished. He was not among them as a visible object of worship. He did not offer Himself as a sacrifice for them, the sacrifices in the temple being mere substitutes and a forerunner o f things to come; Neither did He give Himself to His people in Communion; again, as a substitute they received the food which had been offered in sacrifice on their altars. The repentant sinners could not hear from God the assurance that they .were forgiven their past sins; they had to rely upon their own judgment. Under such circumstances the people, those who had caught a glimpse o f God’s great and expanding plan, looked ahead to the coming of Our Divine Lord. He would be the Emmanuel, God among men. He would lift them to new heights of-divine friendship and intimacy. That they might live to see that day the faithful Jews prayed fervently, as they hoped and waited. This first period of God’s relationship^ with man came to an end with the hirth of Our Lord; a new period began. Now at last God was among His people. In His human nature, a nature like to that of every other man. Our Lord was the object of worship. The Shepherds hastened from their night watches to the stable in Bethlehem in order to adore the Infant Savior. The Wise Men from the East followed the example and they, too, bowed down in humble adoration. In later years, during the public ministry, not only was Our Lord respected and loved by His followers. He was adored and worshiped by them. They could and did address Him as their Lord and their God.

Is it not a sacrilege even to suggest men, the sacrifice itself was witnessed by only a few, the Blessed Mother, that anything more perfect was possible? In what sense, then, can it the Beloved Apostle, and a few others. be said that the last period of God’s relationship with man is a step ahead ?

Would repentant sinners never again be persons affected, in time, and in geographical extent. It was to become told that they were forgiven? Would there never again be a perfect Com­ truly catholic. munion? Would there never again be an infinite sacrifice? Was Our Lord’s We pause to ponder how all this coujd be.

The answer brings us into the We know that there was not only no turning "back to the former con­ Christian Church. fusion and groping in darkne^, to the former detachment from God, but that there was a step ahead into a new and still grander intimacy be­ Our Lord chose a few. men, taking them with Him as He preached tween man and God, into the final phase of divine friendship. the Gospel, instructing them in the mysteries of faith and the laws of His kingdom.

Through the ministry of priests, therefore, men especially chosen and set apart for the purpose. Our Lord commanded that what He had done for a few would henceforth be done for the many. Yet this is not all. Our Lord loved not only the few persons who came to Him; not only those who would hear His Apostles and re­ spond to their preaching. He loved those of the next generation. He has loved us who now live in the twentieth century. He loves all who are to come after us, in all ages to the last days of the world. Once more we pause in awe and wonder. How was God’s plan to be expanded so as to reach the un­ limited measures o f His love? The answer brings us into this sanctuary and this occasion. Our Divine Lord commissioned His Apostles not only to t^ ch the Gospel, not only to rule in matters of religion, not only to administer the temporalities of the Church, not only to hear Confessions, to offer the Sacrifice, and to give Communion, but He commissioned them also to appoint successors who would do all these thingfs after they had gone. Moreover, He commissioned them to turn over to these successors the The new Bishop and his consecrator are I ceremony.

Hubert M. Newell as Coadjutor Bishop of Cheyenne, Wyo., is presented below in full. The Latin word, bulla, fo r the leaden seals affixed to the official Papal docu­ ment gave the unusual designation to official communica­ tions of this nature from the Holy See. The translation of the document, which is entirely in Latin, was made by the ( Rev. William Kenneally, C.M., of St. Thomas’ seminary, Den­ : ( ver, and is as follows: Pius, Bishop and Servant of the Servants of God: Health and Apostolic Benediction to our beloved son, Hubert M. Newell, pastor of St. Mary’s church, Littleton, in the Archdiocese of* Denver, and chosen to be Bishop of Zapara, and Coadjutor Bishop with the right of succession to the incumbent Bishop of Cheyenne. The office of the supreme apostolate has been committed to our humljle charge by the eternal Prince of pastors, whereby we preside over the entire Christian world. This office imposes on us the duty of diligently seeing to it that, if any church is deprived of its Bishop, either by the death of its shepherd, or in the case where the Bishop foresees that he may need help in the discharge of his pastoral duties, then we may appoint anyone to be Bishop who has the ability and knowl^ge to feed, rule, and govern the Lord’s flock com­ mitted to his care. We wish to provide our venerable brother. Bishop Patrick McGovern, the incumbent Bishop of the See of Cheyenne, (which is a suffragan of the Metropolitan Church o f Denver), with a suitable Coadjutor, who will have the right of succession. We do this at the request of-®ishop McGovern and after consulting our venerable brothers, the most eminent Cardinals of the Sacred Consistorial Con­ gregation. In virtue of our supreme authority we entrust this office to you. We designate and constitute you Co­ adjutor in the government and administration of the Church o f Cheyenne, in matters spiritual as well as temporal, and with the right of succession to that see, (together with all of the rights, powers, and faculties, duties, and obligations connected with the office of Coadjutor. The afore-mentioned Bishop Patrick McGovern shall preside over his diocese as long as he shall live. In order that you may be able to pontificate, and to exercise the other pastoral offices in the City of Cheyenne and in the entire diocese during the time of your Coadjutor- ship, we choose you, by right of our Apostolic authority, for the Titular Church of Zapara, a suffragan of the titular Metropolitan Church of Salonica in Macedonia, at the mo­ ment vacant because of the transfer of. our venerable brother, Paciflcus Julius Vanni, to the Cathedral Church M*oib*rs*»f til* Hi*r*reky m tk* Dvaver pro*- la tko kottoaa pictar* Biskop Nawell is skoara o f Sian; and we assign to you the title o f this same church iac* iBcr*M*d fr*m tkr*« t* f*«r witk tk« eoa **- roadiac a portiea of tk* Mass at tk* Blossod Virpia’a with all the rights, privileges, duties, and obligations in cration of Biskop Hakort M.

It is our will, moreover, that before you receive Episco­ pal consecration, and take canonical possession of this office entrusted to you, you be obliged to make the pro­ fession of Catholic faith and take the prescribed oaths, ac­ cording to the customary formulae, before any Bishop chosen by you, provided that he enjoys tte favor of the Apostolic See and is in communion with it; and that copies o f these, signed and sealed by you and the above-mentioned Bishop, be sent to the Sacred Consistorial Congregation as soon as possible. For your greater convenience, we give you permission to be consecrated Bishop, freely and licitiy, outside of Rome, and by any Catholic Bishop whom you may choose. He is to be assisted by two other Catholic Bishops provided they enjoy the favor of the Apostolic See and are in communion with it. By these same letters we give to our venerable brother, the Bishop, whom you choose for this purpose, the charge •and command to consecrate you. We strictly enjoin that, unless you have first made the profession of faith and have taken the oaths mentioned above, you should not presume to receive this consecration; nor may the Bishop chosen by you confer consecration. If this precept of ours is not carried out, both o f you shall be liable to the penalties decreed in canon law. ' We have a firm hope and confidence. that, with the kind help of Our Lord, the Church of Cheyenne may be so profitably guided by your ceaseless pastoral industry and untiring effort, that from day to day it may progress in matters spiritual as well as temporal.
