The Sermon
1.-THE great King Assuerus pro-
claimed that honor should be paid to
the man whom the king had desired to
honor. Fidelity and service are to be
rewarded and the whole people must
know the reward. 1t is thus that the
word comes to us from the supreme
pontiff of the church of God, that he
has honored our beloved friend upon
whom he has bestowed title of dig
nifty, confidence and affection, the title
of domestic prelate. The papal letter
has been read and the will of Pope
Plus x is known to all the people.
1--WE are gathered today to honor
him whom the pontiff has honored and
to rejoice that years of fidelity in the
cause of religion and priestly works
have been so fittingly rewarded.
1.-The title of domestic prelate indi-
Gates that men are chosen to be at
tached in a special manner to the per-
son and the household of the sovereign
pontiff, enjoying by virtue of this at
tachment special honors and privileges
''As vicar general, our monsignor en-
joys the honorary title of protonotarS
apostolic, but through the special kind
ness of the holy father he is persnally
honored with the dignity of domestic
prelate This prelacy is a form of re-
ward for devotion to the church, II
shares the confidence of the supreme
chief of the church in his solicitude fol
the work of God and enjoys the priv
ilege of the purple robes and the rochet
1--WE will not presume to wound the
modesty of our new monsignor by any
words of flattery other than to say that
years of devotedness to Gods work
have been fittingly rewarded. Dear
monsignor, we rejoice that the title
of domestic prelate comes to you and
in union with the people whom you
have devotedly served, we all feel to-
day sense of pride"
