Bp. Gracida: I prayed especially in this Mass for Pope Benedict XVI.
Today, January 25, 2018, I celebrated Mass in my private chapel in Honor of the Conversion of Sant Paul, my confirmation Saint. On this day, his feast day, forty-six years ago I was ordained/consecrated a bishop in Saint Mary Cathedral in Miami by Cardinal John Dearden, with Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll and Bishop Paul Tanner as co-consecrators. I prayed especially in this Mass for Pope Benedict XVI.
