So awesome.

As I mentioned in my last column, due to an unexpected flight cancellation on the way back from our pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I was able to reroute my return ticket through Rome. I made it there in time to attend the last two days of the Jubilee of the World of Education and the proclamation of Saint John Henry Newman as the 38th Doctor of the Church and Co-patron of Catholic Education, along with St. Thomas Aquinas.

At the end of the Holy Father's reflection, his master of ceremonies motioned to the 30 or so bishops who were seated on the side to come forward to meet the Holy Father.

When it came my turn, I told Pope Leo that I was the Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska, and I bring greetings from the faithful there. Unlike meeting previous popes, I didn’t have to tell him where Nebraska was!

I told Pope Leo that I was a convert to the Catholic faith and that Saint John Henry Newman was a huge influence on my conversion and my vocation to the priesthood. Nodding his head as I spoke, I concluded by telling him that I even stole Cardinal Newman’s motto as my own episcopal motto! At this, he tilted his head back and let out a little laugh as I shook his hand. It’s hard to explain how personally endearing it was to be able to speak to a Successor of St. Peter in our own mutual native tongue.

St. Andrew Christmas Novena

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born Of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. AMEN
