Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals (Ps 150.5).

A Memorial Tribute to a Good Shepherd
Bishop John M. D’Arcy addressing the alternative Notre Dame graduation rally, May 17, 2009.
Justify your episcopal dignity by your unceasing concern for the spiritual and temporal welfare of your flock.
Give yourself to prayer continually, ask for wisdom greater than you now have, keep alert with an unflagging spirit.
The greater the toil, the richer the reward.
