A Huge Responsibility - 21st Sunday in OT - August 23rd, 2020

In 2017 Msgr. Rivituso was named the new auxiliary bishop for St. Louis.  At that time, I was still a seminarian and many seminarians would ask each other about the possibility of becoming a bishop someday.  A common response was not to want it because of the huge responsibility that comes with being a bishop. ... We are about to get a new Archbishop for St. Louis.  Archbishop-designate Mitchell Rozanski will be installed as our new Archbishop this Tuesday on the Feast of St. Louis.  This is a huge responsibility. 

Listen to my homily to learn more about this responsibility of a bishop.

Readings:  Is 22:19-23; Ps 138:1-2, 2-3, 6, 8; Rom 11:33-36; Mt 16:13-20

Key Themes:  Responsibility of a bishop 

I challenge you to pray for Archbishop-designate Mitchell Rozanski every day this week with an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
