Death comes for the Archbishop John J. Mitty, D.D. litcry High Priest taken from among men is. appointed for men in the things pertaining to God that he may offer gifts and sacrifices ... He is able to have compassion . . . because he himself also is beset with weakness . . . And no man takes the honor to himself; he takes it who is called by God. Thou art a priest forever . . . (Heb. 5, 1-9) CjOD has a tremendous sense of timing. He inevitably raises up Saints whose vir- tues are in sharp contrast to the vices of their age and area. There are always those who are con- trary”; who rush off to beatnik ghettoes or to their cynical typewriters. These flurry surface interest and a few tempers; in the end they are absorbed or ignored. More often they are shown up as shams. The Saint, however, the man who quiet- ly goes about doing good” without so criticizing the world as to focus all eyes on himself, stands out in his own time and for all time. The world becomes pain- fully aware that this man in its midst could hardly care less for what it loses so much sleep over. And yet it knows well that he has cared terribly for themselves, the worldlings. Our late Archbishop, John J. Mitty, was a hard-working shepherd of his flock. From his succession to Archbishop Hanna in 1935 to his death after over fifty years as a priest and thirty-five as a bishop, the litany of his accomplishments, the build- ing and directing, the urging and inspiring —all this has been frequently recorded in detail elsewhere. And each recitation died out with a half-embarrassed ill for his last five years. But every litany ends with a Gloria Patri . . . That glory in Christ’s followers is a sharing in His. And Christ glorified His Father preeminently by the unproduc- tive” hours of His Passion and Death. Hence have Christians like ourselves been willing to fill up what is lacking in the suffering of Christ through their hours and even years of unproductive” suffer- ing—so do we respect suffering with Christ and pity those whose suffering is fruitless. Such an assignment was our Archbish- op's for the last years of his life. God asked to finish his litany of Christ—life- giving labor with the Gloria Patri of pa- tient suffering. And it is fitting that God has so arranged things. In our cosmopoli- tan City of energy, activity, haste, beaut)-, productivity, of closing deals and rising towers and beautified homes and one-way streets and freeway rush and bridges to be built and parks to be subdivided—such a finale has drawn our eyes back to reality again by the inactivity of our Arch- bishop. R.I.P.
