Rocco has the text of Archbishop Chaput’s homily from today’s ordination Mass for new auxiliary Bishop James Conley. Remember, it is on the day we celebrate the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus:

As I was preparing my thoughts on the readings for today, I heard from a friend whose latest child was just born with Trisomy 18.
Trisomy 18 is a genetic condition with very serious mental and physical side effects. Most of the children born with it don’t survive for very long. For many families it can be a very hard experience. But what struck me about my friend and his wife was not how burdened they were by the news — but just the opposite.

It’s as if someone had punched a hole in the wall of their everyday family life, and instead of fear or bitterness, out poured a river of unselfish and indiscriminate and unexplainable love. My friend and his wife love their new daughter not in spite of the child’s flaws or in spite of the short time she will be with them, but because these things make every moment more precious. I’m not even sure they’re aware of how deeply they love their little girl, because you have to be on the outside of that kind of love looking in to really see how intense and beautiful it is.
This is the kind of love Bishop Conley will be called to today.

Through your episcopal ordination, Bishop Conley, you are to be an icon of God’s radical love through your teaching, your leadership and your fatherly tenderness to God’s people.
In the Gospel today, Jesus says, “I give praise to you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to little ones.” Jesus himself is the first among “the little ones” to whom the Father reveals the “hidden thing” that guarantees all human happiness. The hidden thing is this: The more fully you give yourself away in love, the more fully God’s love replenishes itself – and you — with greater love. As God loves his Son; as Christ loves his Church; as my friend and his wife love their imperfect but beautiful little girl; so you are called to love God’s people: unconditionally.
