    “What is it that I find so intimidating in the office of bishop, except perhaps that I might be attracted more by the authority of my position than by what in my role is helpful to your salvation? While what I am for you frightens me, what I share with you brings me consolation. “For you I am a bishop; with you I am a Christian. The former is the name of a duty I have received; the latter I am by grace. The former implies potential danger; the latter offers salvation ... “Assist me by your prayerful support, so that my joy will be in serving you, rather than in being over you.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo [354-430 AD], Sermon 340 SOLEMN VESPERS from the COMMON OF APOSTLES ON THE EVE OF THE INSTALLATION of BISHOP KEVIN C.

  • Pope Prays for Victims of Haiti Quake; Archbishop Miot's Body Found
    Pope prays for victims of Haiti quake; Archbishop Miot’s body found VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI prayed for victims of a massive earthquake in Haiti and urged the international community to provide generous assistance to the stricken population of the Caribbean nation. The victims included Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot of Port-au-Prince. “The lifeless body of Archbishop Joseph Miot of Port-au-Prince was found this morning under the rubble of the archbishops’ residence,” L’Osservatore Romano said in a Page 1 story Jan. 13. Archbishop Bernardito Auza, the Vatican’s apostolic nuncio in Haiti, told the Vatican missionary news agency Fides: “Port-au-Prince is completely devastated. The cathedral and the archbishop’s residence, all the big churches, all the seminaries are reduced to rubble.” Pope Benedict made his appeal at the end of his general audience Jan. 13, some 12 hours after a magnitude 7 earthquake struck Haiti, toppling buildings and causing widespread destruction. The number of casualties was not immediately known, but local officials called it a major catastrophe. Pope Benedict said he wanted to highlight the dramatic situation in Haiti following the “devastating earthquake, which resulted in serious loss of human life, a great number of homeless and missing, and enormous material damage.” “I appeal to the generosity of everyone, so that our brothers and sisters receive our concrete solidarity and the effective support of the international community in this moment of need and suffering,” he said. He said the Catholic Church’s charity organizations would immediately move into action to assist those most in need.
