A His Eminence Edward Cardinal Mooney Archbishop of Detroit The editors of the Eagle have done well to make the story of Archbishop Cieplak the theme of their l955 Yearbook. For the life of this saintly priest and bishop is an inspiring example of apostolic devotion. He spent 46 years of his priestly life from l878 to i924 in serving the Catholics scattered over the wide reaches of the Russian Empire. Consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of Mohilev in l908 he im- mediately sei' out upon a visitation of the Catholic political exiles in the vast region between the Ural Mountains and Vladivostok. His missionary travels on that occasion and in the following years recall the apostolic journeys of St. Paul-iust as so many features of his life can be described in the terms that St. Paul uses to tell his own story. like St. Paul he knew what it was to be an innocent pris- oner, a defendant in a rigged trial, a man condemned to death, Like St. Paul he knew how to be filled and how to be hungry how to have abundance and to sufler want. Most ot' all, like St. Paul he knew how to do all things in Christ Who was his strength. It is for this reason that the cause of his beatification has been formally intro- duced in the Sacred Congregation of Rites in Rome. Particularly in our days it is worthy of note that Arch- bishop Cieplak stands in the forefront of that gallant line of bishops, priests, sisters and laymen and women who in our own day have so heroicly borne witness to the sovereignty of God and the dignity of man against the force and cun- nfng of communist brutality. Stepinac, Mindzenty, Wys- zynski, Beran-who stand out on account of their high station-are household words today across the Catholic world as Cieplak was thirty years ago. For like Cieplak they have-before the eyes of all the world-counted truth and faith and loyalty to God dearer than life itself. This timely retelling of the story of Archbishop Cieplak should inspire all ot us to keep in mind these living martyrs of to- day and to be instant in prayer that, for the liberation of the Catholic countries they represent, their faith may in the end prevail against Godless tyranny. l pray, too, that the cause of Archbishop Cieplak's bea- titication may make rapid progress as l invoke God's bless- ing on the effort made in this yearbook to publicize the story of his edifying life with its glorious final chapter of calm but unflinching resistance to the enemies of God and man. Ceffddff Edward Cardinal Mooney
