Philipine's Archbishop Talks Humility As New Cardinal

Archbishop Tagle from the Archdiocese of Manila, Philippines has been named one of six new cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church.

Tagle recently had an intervention at the ongoing Synod on the New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Faith in Rome.

The bishop spoke on the need for humility in answering God's call for teaching in the modern world and stressed the need for silence in order to listen.

Clearly a rising star in the Church, Cardinal-designate Tagle will bring a gift of moderation to the College of Cardinals and will speak of the struggles among his own faithful in meeting daily needs and in seeking a presence of Christ in the world.

It is an invitation to all of us in our daily prayer to be reminded of the necessity of discovering Jesus in both Word and Sacrament. In scripture we find the teaching of Jesus to be timeless and treasured. In Sacrament we encounter the "hands on" touch of Our Lord in the grace of the sacramental ministry entrusted to His Church.

Heavenly Father, watch over your servants entrusted with your Gospel and allow us to imitate your Son in both word and example.
