50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
PRIESTHOOD ORDINATION

JUNE 16, 1973 - JUNE 16, 2023

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND TO
ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS WHO HELPED MAKE
THIS SPECIAL NIGHT POSSIBLE
 FEAST OF THE HOLY APOSTLES PETER AND PAUL
FROM THE SERMONS OF POPE ST. LEO THE GREAT
Dearly beloved brethren, in the joy of all the holy Feast-days the whole world is partaker. There is but
one love of God, and whatsoever is solemnly called to memory, if it hath been done for the salvation of
all, must needs be worth the honour of a joyful memorial at the hands of all. Nevertheless, this feast
which we are keeping today, besides that world-wide worship which it doth of right get throughout all
the earth, doth deserve from this city of ours an outburst of gladness altogether special and our own. In
this place it was that the two chiefest of the Apostles did so right gloriously finish their race. And upon
this day whereon they lifted up that their last testimony, let it be in this place that the memory thereof
receiveth the chiefest of jubilant celebrations. O Rome, these twain are the men who brought the light
of the Gospel of Christ to shine upon thee! These are they by whom thou, from being the teacher of lies,
wast turned into a learner of the truth. These twain be thy fathers, these be in good sooth thy shepherds,
these twain be they who laid for thee, as touching the kingdom of heaven, better and happier
foundations, than did they that first planned thine earthly ramparts, wherefrom he that gave thee thy
name took occasion to pollute thee with a brother's blood. These are they who have set on thine head
this thy glorious crown, that thou art become an holy nation, a chosen people, a city both Priestly and
Kingly, whom the Sacred Throne of blessed Peter hath exalted till thou art become the Lady of the world,
unto whom the world-wide love for God hath conceded a broader lordship than is the possession of any
mere earthly empire. Thou wast once waxen great by victories, until thy power was spread haughtily over
land and sea, but thy power was narrower then which the toils of war had won for thee, than that thou
now hast which hath been laid at thy feet by the peace of Christ. It well suited for the doing of the work
which God had decreed that the multitude of kingdoms should be bound together under one rule, and
that so the universal preaching of the Gospel should find easier entry into all peoples, since all were
governed by the empire of one city. But this city, knowing not Him, Who had been pleased to make her
great, used her lordship over almost all nations to make herself the minister of all their falsehoods and
seemed to herself exceeding godly because there was no false god whom she rejected. But the tighter
that Satan had bound her, the more wondrous was the work of Christ in setting her free.
 COUNCIL OF JERUSALEM - CONCILIO DE JERUSALÉN
SOLEMNIDAD DE SAN PEDRO Y SAN PABLO, APÓSTOLES
SERMÓN DE SAN LEÓN, PAPA.
El mundo entero toma parte en las solemnidades. Una devoción fundada en una misma fe pide
que se celebre en todas partes, con júbilo común, lo cumplido para la salvación de todos. La
fiesta de hoy, digna de ser celebrada en toda la tierra, debe ser en nuestra ciudad objeto de
una veneración especial, acompañada de una alegría particular; para que donde los dos
principales Apóstoles fueron glorificados, haya, en el día de su martirio, mayor alegría. Estos son
¡oh Roma! los dos héroes que te llevaron el Evangelio de Cristo; por ellos, tú, que eras maestra
del error, te convertiste en discípula de la verdad. Tus padres y verdaderos pastores son los que
te insertaron en el reino celestial; te fundaron mejor y más felizmente que los que pusieron los
primeros fundamentos de tus murallas, ya que de aquel que procede el nombre que llevas, te
manchó con la muerte de su hermano. Esos dos Apóstoles te elevaron a una gran gloria; te
convertieron en la nación santa, pueblo escogido, ciudad sacerdotal y real, y por la Cátedra
sagrada de San Pedro, en capital del mundo; así, la supremacía que te viene de la religión
divina, se extiende más allá de tu dominación terrenal. Aunque con victorias extendiste tu
imperio sobre la tierra y mar, debes menos conquistas a la guerra, que súbditos te ha procurado
la paz cristiana. Por otra parte, convenía muchísimo para el plan divino que muchos reinos
estuviesen unidos en un vasto imperio para que la predicación tuviese fácil acceso y pronta
difusión entre los pueblos sometidos al gobierno de una misma ciudad. Pero esta ciudad,
desconocedora del Autor de su encumbramiento, que dominaba sobre casi todas las naciones,
era esclava de todos sus errores, y por cuanto no rechazaba ninguna falsedad, creía ser
religiosa. De suerte que Jesucristo la libertó tanto más maravillosamente, cuanto más la había
encadenado el demonio.
