The Prefect of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith celebrates Mass for the ordination of the first Bishop of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham and notes that the Ordinariate is structured to enable Anglicans, entering into full communion with the Catholic Church, to preserve elements of the Anglican tradition that are"a treasure to be shared."“A shepherd leads from within.
Referring to its “rich English heritage,” the Cardinal remarked that “the Ordinariate is invited to see the positive aspects of the Anglican tradition preserved in it ‘as a precious gift and as a treasure to be shared,’” quoting the Apostolic ConstitutionThe Prefect added, “In this process, the Church not only gives but is also enriched.
Citing a homily of St. John Henry Newman on Christ the Good Shepherd, where the English saint observed, “Blessed are they who resolve—come good, come evil, come sunshine, come tempest, come honour, come dishonour—that shall be their Lord and Master, their King and God!,” Cardinal Fernández highlighted how the example of English saints provides “encouragement and inspiration” for the new bishop to follow after “the love and dedication of these saints in caring for the flock entrusted to him.
The Prefect added that “this is, in fact, what Pope Francis insists we must all do: to announce to everyone the love of God, manifested in the open arms of Christ, who today is active in our lives.” Cardinal Fernández concluded, “For this mission today, Bishop-elect Waller receives the fire of the Holy Spirit: the only one capable of transforming our hearts and filling us with His fervour and with true joy in love.”
