"Let there be progress, therefore; a widespread and eager progress in every century and epoch, both of individuals and of the general body, of every Christian and of the whole Church, a progress in intelligence, knowledge and wisdom, but always within their natural limits, and without sacrifice of the identity of Catholic teaching, feeling and opinion."-ST. VINCENT OF LERINS, Commonit, c. 6. PUBLISHED BY THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA WASHINGTON, D. C. Your Eminence, Right Reverend and Reverend Fathers, dearly beloved brethren: Scarcely have the echoes of the recent splendid religious festivities died away, when we are called on to mourn the loss of one of the principal priests in this diocese. It was but a short while ago that he quitted this great metropolis, one of the companions of his beloved Archbishop, and went with him to the Apostolic See there to assist at the bestowal of the cardinalitial dignity on the metropolitan of New York. Buoyant and active, despite his age, he seemed the youngest of the large party, and entered fully into the particulars and the spirit of those memorable days at Rome. And again, it was only yesterday that he was one of the chief participators in the magnificent welcome that the citizens of New York gave to their new Cardinal, only yesterday that he walked by his side between the crowded masses of the Catholic faithful, sat beside him in this sanctuary, and thanked God for having ordained all things well for the going and for the coming of your beloved chief pastor, no less than for the high dignity conferred upon him by the See of Peter. And now Monsignor Burtsell is no more. 'Discourse preached in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, February 10, 1912, by the Right Reverend Rector at the funeral of Right Reverend Richard Lalor Burtsell, pastor of St. Mary's, Kingston, N. Y. Monsignor Burtsell was a distinguished benefactor and friend of the Catholic University. |
