\ 'e rejoice with )lo t Rev. Charles F. Buddy, Bishop of 'an Diego, on hi elevation to the po t of A i tant at the Pontifical Throne. His T:xr Heney': election for such honor: by His oline , Pope Paul Vl, i clue recognition of his great achievem nt ince hi installation as fir t Bi hop of he Dioce e of. an Diego in February 1937. He nursed the new jurisdiction in its weak and tender years: he tenrled it · growth; he met and over- <'ame the rlifficulties incident to development; he arcepted the challenl!e pre·ented by the constant in- flux of new l'ommu111cants from other states. And he met it suce fully. Whcre\er a parish wa needed, there it was erected. \\'her \'er the atholic education of children called for a parochial . chool or a center for religious education, th re it wa provided. Wherever the under- privileged, the sick, and the needv suffered, there the effort wa~ made to alleviate their lot. Th Dioce e of San Diego began with onh· 50 pad. he in 937. Toclay it has more than IGO. The multiph ·at1on of elementary schools from 15 in 1937 to rnure than 80 today attest the rlevelopment in Cath- olic education. The prie t and Jar catechists en- gagerl in the field of religiou. education at centers in citie and cattcrerl communitie~ throughout the dio- <'e. e inrlicat the care gh·en to all the lambs of the flock. Perh, p the Bi. hop's greatest achievement i the t:niver it}'. of San Diego. It crowns and completes the educat10nal erlifi<-e he has built. )Iajor anrl minor seminaries opened in the for- ties enabled His Excellency to provide pt'iests for parochial \\ol'k, for education and for chaplaincies in the many institution!, he has founded . These seminar- ies, in short, contributed greatly to the increa:e in the number of prie1'ts from 62 in 1937 to more than 160 today.

ROME (NCJ - Individuals receiving Communion from now on are to take part personally in the prayers during distribu- tion of Eucharist. according to a new decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites. I - The decree, dated Ap1il 25, abolishes the prayer the priest traditionally bas said while distributing sacramental hosts: "Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat anrman tuam in ,itarn aeternam. Amen." ("l\fay the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ preserve your soul to life e\'erlasting. Amen.") In its place the Congregation of Rites, with the approval of Pope Paul, ha..s decreed that priests will now :;ay only the words "Corpus Christi" "Body of Christ") and that each per~on receiving Commuruon will respond "Amen." A second decree of the Congregation of Rites, bearing the same date, provides for the insertion in the Divine Praises, recited mainly at the end of the ceremony of Benediction, the invocation "Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete." Used by Christ in several instances in the New Testament, the word "Paraclete" comes from a Greek word meaning one who is called, an advocate. The prayer is to be inserted in the Oi\'ine Praises after the invocation "Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar " A Vatican press bt:.lletm said the Congregation's decree al- tering the formula for the distribution of Communion was authorized by Pope Paul in response to many requests. The press bulletin noted that this newly authorized formula was in use in the Church in the 14th century, and is stil! in use today m the Ambrosian Rite, a Latin rite differing slightly from the Roman and used mainly in the Pope's former Archdio• ce.se of Milan. The bulletin said inclusion of the Holy Spirit in the Di- vine Praises was also a result of many requests, and it was noted that the Divine Praises had been composed originally as a prayer of reparation against blasphemies. -- _____________ , Nine Candles to Burn For Iron Curtain Countries
