THE WISE STILL SEEK HIM

Pastor’s Pen
Although most of you already know, it is
fitting at this time to acknowledge in this space
the announcement of the honor to be conferred
on me as Pronotary Apostolic Supernumerary.
I accept it humbly and gratefully as a recognition
by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, through the
person of his Excellency, Archbishop Thomas G.
Wenski, for the people of this Archdiocese for
whom and with whom I have worked over the last
forty-eight years. Any personal achievements
worthy of recognition are of necessity intimately
linked with the support and the cooperation which
I have always received in the performance of my
duties.
I believe that such honors bestowed by the
Church authorities on individuals are given, not
specifically because of personal merit, but for the
purposes of focusing attention on the growth and
development of the Church in a given area and
for the purposes of encouraging all the people of
God to continue their efforts on behalf of the work
of Christ which must be done by us. If this title is
to mean anything to me as a person, and more
especially as Pastor of Epiphany Parish, it is not
because of any personal accomplishments in the
past, but because of what together this whole
Parish as a community will achieve in the future.
For the honor, I am thankful; for the
recognition given to Epiphany Parish, I am
grateful. That we may continue to work for Christ
in a more unified manner in this community of
Epiphany in the future…for this, I am hopeful.
In all, seven other priests were elevated to
the rank of “Monsignor.” They are Monsignor
James Fetscher, Pastor, St. Sebastian in Fort
Lauderdale; Monsignor Roberto Garza, Rector,
St. John Vianney College Seminary; Monsignor
Jose L. Hernando, Pastor, St. Agnes in Key
Biscayne; Monsignor Chanel Jeanty, Vicar
General for the Archdiocese of Miami; Monsignor
George Puthusseril, Judicial Vicar for the
Archdiocese of Miami; Monsignor Juan Quijano,
Theology Professor, St. Vincent De Paul
Major Seminary; Monsignor Edmund White,
Pastor, St. Mark in Southwest Ranches.
In addition, Father Eduardo Barrios, S.J. will
receive the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Cross.
The Ceremony of Investiture will take place
at St. Mary’s Cathedral during Vespers on
Sunday, March 10, 2013, at five in the afternoon.
Admission is by invitation only. Each honoree has
been allotted a limited number of tickets.
Unfortunately, I cannot invite all of you to attend;
however, there will be a limited number of
invitations at the Rectory beginning Monday,
February 25 th , after 8:30 in the morning on a first
come first serve basis, should any of you wish to
attend.
I have been aware of the title Protonotary
Apostolic Supernumerary for some years, and
I have known some priests who had this title, but
I have not known much about it. I found a short
history of it and thought you might be interested
in reading about it. For that reason, I have
included it in the next page…for your information
and mine!
I have often been asked for a copy of this
prayer which we use in the General Intercessions
periodically, and so, I print it here for your
consideration and use.
A Daily Prayer
God of power and love, grant us
in all our tasks, your help,
in all our doubts, your guidance,
in all our weaknesses your strength,
in all our sorrows your consolation,
In all our dangers your protection,
in all our sins your loving forgiveness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

Protonotary Apostolic
In the Roman Catholic Church, protonotary apostolic is the title for a member of the highest
non-episcopal college of prelates in the Roman Curia or, outside of Rome, an honorary prelate on whom
the Pope has conferred this title and its special privileges.
Historically in antiquity there were in Rome seven regional notaries, who, on the further
development of the papal administration and the accompanying increase of the notaries, remained the
supreme palace notaries of the papal chancery. In the Middle Ages the protonotaries were very high
papal officials and were often raised directly from this office to the cardinalate. Originally numbering
seven, Pope Sixtus V (1585-90) increased their number to twelve. Their importance gradually
diminished. On 8 February 1838, Pope Gregory XVI re-established the college of real protonotaries with
seven members called protonotarii de numero participantium, also known as numerary protonotaries.
Since the XVI century, the popes had also appointed honorary protonotaries, who enjoyed the same
privileges as the seven real members of the college; and titular protonotaries, who held a corresponding
position in the administration of the Episcopal ordinariate or in the collegiate chapter. By the motu
proprio Inter multiplices of 21 February 1905, Pope Pius X defined the position of the protonotaries:
privileges, dress and insignia of the members of the four classes...
The protonotarii apostolici de numero participantium exercised their office in connection with the
acts of consistories and canonizations, had a representative in the Congregation of the
Propaganda, and signed the papal Bulls instead of the earlier abbreviators. They enjoyed the use of
pontificals and numerous privileges, and also after examining the candidates, named annually a fixed
number of doctors of theology and of canon law.
The protonotarii apostolici supranumerarii, a dignity to which only the canons of the four Roman
patriarchal basilica majors (the Lateran, St. Peter’s and St. Mary Major, St. Paul Outside The Walls), and
of cathedral chapters outside of Rome to which the privilege had been granted could be raised.
The protonotarii apostolici ad instar (sc. paricipantium), were appointed by the pope and had the
same external insignia as the real protonotaries.
The protonotarii titulars seu honoraria, were found outside of Rome and who received this dignity
from the nuncios or as a special privilege.
Since 1969 these classes are reduced to two:
Apostolic protonotaries de numero continue the work for the College of Protonotaries and still
have certain duties with regard to papal documents; they may be addressed formally as “Most Reverend
Sir or Monsignor,” and they may wear the mantelletta, the purple choir cassock and rochet for liturgical
services, the black cassock with red piping and purple sash at other times, and may add the purple
ferraiuolo and the biretta with red tuft to the black cassock for formal ceremonies of a non-liturgical
nature.
Apostolic protonotaries supernumerary is a purely honorary title awarded to priests by the pope.
It is not attached to any duties in the Curia. This is the type of protonotary found outside of Rome, and
it is considered the highest grade of monsignor. Priests so honored are addressed as “Reverend
Monsignor,” may put the post nominal letters “P.A.” after their names, may wear the purple choir cassock
(with surplice) for liturgical services, the black cassock with red piping and purple sash at other times,
and may add the purple ferraiuolo to this for formal non-liturgical ceremonies.
Before 1969, all protonotaries were entitled to limited use of pontificals (the insignia or ‘regalia’
proper to bishops…mitre, finger ring, Episcopal gloves, pectoral cross and Episcopal sandals).
This privilege has since been abolished.

THE RIGHT DECISIONS
I read this story in the Christopher News
Notes printed in August 1994…
It was Vietnam, 1968. A helicopter gunner
had taken a direct hit from a rocket. As the
19-year old lay on a stretcher, more dead than
alive, trauma surgeon Kenneth Swan looked at
his injuries and couldn’t hold back the tears.
His medical team managed to save the GI’s
arms, but had to amputate both legs and a
finger. His eyes were beyond saving. Dr. Swan’s
superior later told him, “I think you ought to know,
the other surgeons feel you should have let that
fellow die last night.” Stiffening, Dr. Swan replied,
“I was trained to care for the sick and wounded.
God will decide who lives or dies.”
Many years later, Dr. Swan recalled his
experience for the American Medical News. After
the interview appeared, readers wanted to know
what became of the soldier, and whether the
doctor still thought he had made the right
decision. So, the New Jersey surgeon set out to
find the soldier. It took eighteen months. His name
was Ken McGarrity. He’s married and has two
children, and he plays the piano and trumpet, and
scuba dives.
A month later, Dr. Swan visited him and
met a determined man in a wheelchair who had
completed his high school and took some college
courses. His wife, Theresa McGarrity said,
“I always wanted to meet the man who saved
Kenneth’s life—to thank you for the twenty years
of love and for our two beautiful daughters.
The decision you made that night is responsible
for my whole world…for the life of the man I want
to grow old with. The surgeon knew then and there
he had made the right decision.
During the Season of Lent ask yourself
whether you are making the right decisions
according to your faith and belief in God and your
vocation in life. We all have to make tough
decisions…so put your trust in God, and you will
make the “Right Decisions.”
Our next scheduled concert, with the Auryn
String Quartet, has unfortunately been canceled

However, we are very fortunate to have the
Moscow String Quartet come as a replacement.

Prayer for the Election of a New Pope
Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Good Shepherd,
And you never leave your flock untended.
You gave your life that we may live,
And you appoint shepherds after your own heart
To lead your people by word and example
To likewise give themselves away in love.
We thank you for the ministry of Pope Benedict XVI,
An for his service to the Church and the world.
We ask that You now give him a fruitful period
Of rest and prayer, of gratitude and praise.
We ask You, Lord Jesus, with the Father,
To send the Holy Spirit on the Church once again.
In particular, guide the Cardinals who will shortly
exercise
The obligation and privilege of electing a new Pope.
Guide their deliberations and decisions
With divine wisdom and insight.
Even now, Lord Jesus, give to the new Pope,
Whom You have already chosen,
And abundance of holiness and strength,
To carry out the mission you have entrusted to him.
May Your Word reign supreme in his life,
And may his every word and action point the
Church to You,
The supreme and eternal Shepherd,
And the only mediator between God and Humanity,
For you live and reign forever and ever.
Amen.
