Special Report: Pontifical Vespers Superb

"Claim me once more as your own, Lord. And have mercy on me."

That was one of the antiphons repeated tonight at the Pontifical Vespers on the eve of Bishop Paul J. Swain's episcopal ordination and installation of Eight Bishop of Sioux Falls.

It truly was an inspiring liturgy, with the solemn chanting of the Divine Office. These evening prayers, done by priests and religious in every part of the world, really show the universality of the Church. Bishop Swain looked elegant in his purple choir dress.

Bishop Samuel Aquila, Apostolic Administrator of Sioux Falls and Bishop of Fargo gave an inspiring homily directed towards Bishop Swain instructing on Saints Joseph, Paul, and Peter.

Tomorrow looks to be a fantastic day. Praised be Jesus Christ!
