BENEDICT'S SECOND CONSISTORY: SPLENDOR IN GOLD AND RED





In this wonderful photograph posted by Caterina, the ritual six candelabra are on the altar behind the Pope.
But since the altar is behind him, Mons. Guido Marini has placed a slim Crucifix in front of the Pope
(on a red-and-gold base at the top of the steps leading to the crypt, in lower right hand side of photo).

For a better view, click on thumbnail 2x for full size.




As previously announced by the Office of Pontifical Liturgical
Celebrations, the Pope chose to wear for the second Consistory
of his Pontificate a golden cope thought to date to the 16th
century, and also worn once by John Paul II, with a golden miter
that was worn by Blessed Pius IX when he proclaimed the dogma
of the Immaculate Conception.



Left photo shows both the cope and the miter in enough detail, as well as a lacy alb that also seems to have been
dusted off from the untold wealth of Papal liturgical vestments kept in the Sacristy of St. Peter's Basilica.
Right photo shows a Papal 'throne' also taken from storage into current use by Mons. Guido Marini, who is also
seen here in one of the rare photos today that show him.



The Papal cope is held up by two attendants.

The Vatican has released the titutlar churches and diaconates assigned to the new cardinals. Zadok says on his blog that Pagtriarchs are not assigned titles in Rome, hence Cardinal Delly is not assigned one.

I think this is the appropriate place for this translation. The Press Office rarely gives us the text of these customary introductory homages that precede a papal address, so this is very welcome.

HOMAGE TO THE HOLY FATHER
DELIVERED BY CARDINAL SANDRI
ON BEHALF OF ALL THE NEW CARDINALS



Most Blessed Father,

I have the honor to express the most profound and sincere gratitude in the name of the 23 new Cardinals that Your Holiness has added today to the College of Cardinals.

Because of your benevolence, Holy Father, we find ourselves at this solemn moment by the tomb of the Apostle Peter and his Successor.

United to the Most Blessed Mary, we feel gushing forth from our hearts her hymn of joy and gratitude: "My soul doth magnify the Lord...The Almighty has wrought great things in me...He has elevated the humble" (Lk 1,46-55).

Holiness, this second creation of cardinals during your Pontificate confirms the variety and universality of the Holy Church: Receiving the dignity of the cardinalate along with some Prelates of the Roman Curia are Pastors of distinguished and ancient churches of Christian Europe, and Pastors of flowering Churches in the great metropoli of Africa, Asia and the Americas.

A special mention is merited by your choice of a venerated representative of the Oriental Catholic churches, the patriarch of Babylonia of the Chaldeans, who finds himself carrying out his patriarchal service amid tears and blood and the sorrowful exodus of so many Christians from the land that also saw at one time the departure of Abraham, our common father in faith and hope, a land which was among the first to have the grace of hearing the Holy Gospel proclaimed.

The color red, moreover, refers to the Cross of Christ. In placing on us the cardinal's biretta, You, Your Holiness, will exhort us "to be ready to act with fortitude up to the shedding of blood for the growth of the Christian faith, for the peace and tranquillity of the People of God, and for the freedom and dissemination of the Holy Roman Church."

Among so many joys and consolations that we reap everyday from the People of God, we also note, in fact, that there is no lack of martyrdom, persecution, tribulation and mockery because of the name of the Lord Jesus, and for being faithful to the Church and the Pope. But we feel intimately comforted and encouraged by the promise of the Lord: "Behold, I will be with you all the days up to the end of the worold" (Mt 28,20).

It is the same divine Word that sustains the suffering testimony of the sons and daughters of the Christian Orient, starting with those who live in the land where our Redeemer was born.

Your Holiness has called us to join the Clergy of the most beloved Church of Rome, enlisting us among your closest and most trusted advisers. And we wish to assure you of our most faithful and loyal collaboration.

We are and we will be with you, Most Blessed Father, in the most demanding as well as the ordinary moments of your Petrine ministry. We wish to be with the Pope when he serves the truth and proclaims the primacy of God, as when he guides the church in renewal that comes from faithfulness to tradition; when he invokes peace, indicating the great power of prayer and dialog, as when he promotes the unity of all Christians and the respect of all religions and cultures, with the mutual exclusion of any form of violence.

Wuth you, Holy Father, we wish to serve the cause of man. We are with you when you reaffirm that a person without God loses himself; when, making yourself into a true defensor hominis, you teach that matrimony and the family are the original cells of society, that life must be protected from its very beginning to its natural end, that the fundamental rights of everyone, especially religious freedom, should be respected and demanded; when you defend the dignity of the human person in the face of every oppression.

Yes, we are with the Pope when, in the sweet name of Jesus, he is an advocate for children and youth as of the aged, the poor and the needy, the unemployed, the refugees and the migrants.

May Christ the Good Shepherd, King of the universe and of history, confirm you with the ample effusion of his Holy Spirit so that you may be for the Church and for the world a sign of the love of God, who is Father of all.

May the Lord bless and protect Your Holiness and keep you a joyous laborer in his vineyard.

Thank you, Holy Father!
