Very best wishes to Archbishop-elect Augustine Di Noia, O.P.

Some indicators of the reason for my joy in anticipating the 11 July archiepiscopal ordination of Father Augustine Di Noia, O.P., at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.:

"I think the liturgy should give us a sense of the heavenly liturgy; it's about God, not us," DiNoia said.

Looking at liturgy today, Archbishop-designate DiNoia said, "The great danger is when the focus is on the celebrating community" rather than on God.

Archbishop-elect Di Nois has been appointed secretary at the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments

Many best wishes. Tanti auguri!
