Q Several years ago, as we glanced down the Communion rail, we saw our Bishop for the first time. As we walked away from the rail we wondered why, during the Ceremony of Confirmation, His Excellency gave each boy and girl a slight blow on the cheek. Later on in the Ceremony the Bishop addressed the newly confirmed and explained the Sacrament. His address was the first heard by many of us, but was not, by far, to be the last. ln explaining the question that puzzled us we remember that Bishop Byrne told us that the slight blow was to remind us that we must endure many things for our Blessed Lord. In all his subsequent addresses to us in grade school and high school he has continued to stress this same theme. As the years passed on we would often hear the parish priest read a letter addressed to the people from the Bishop. In these letters we found expressed the wishes of His Excellency. As Chief Shepherd of the Diocese Bishop Byrne must do many things which would try a young priest-writing letters to the parishes, traveling many miles to give talks, and presiding at numerous religious ceremonies. lt was altogether fitting, it may be remarked, that the sermon at the funeral rites of John Cardinal Glennon in Saint Louis should be delivered by his life long friend, our own Bishop of Galveston. lt is a common belief that when a person reaches a certain age he can no longer maneuver about and carry on the activity of his younger years. In deliberate defiance of this assumption our Bishop continues to shepherd his flock unassisted and as a full time occupation content that He Who feeds the birds of the air and has care for the lilies of the field will not cease to be provident. Now on the threshold of manhood it is a comfort to know that He Who was our shepherd at birth continues still to exercise his paternal care. William Pittman
