"Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Diocese of Rochester celebrates Mass for Pope Benedict XVI

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

Then-Father Salvatore R. Matano entered St. Joseph Co-Cathedral in Burlington, Vt., to be ordained bishop on April 19, 2005. About an hour earlier that same day, Pope Benedict XVI was elected the 264th successor of St. Peter.

Bishop Matano shared the story with the pontiff when he was in Rome with all newly ordained bishops in September 2005.

"It’s a moment that I’ll never forget," Bishop Matano said to members of the media before Mass. "He seemed so generously pleased that we would share this same date, and I have always held dear to my heart that memory."
