San Francisco, Calif., Oct 4, 2012 \/ 05:48 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- At his installation Mass in San Francisco, Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone encouraged a renewal of the Church in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, the city's patron.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt was St. Francis' personal holiness which led the renewal of the Church,\u201d he underscored.<\/p>\n

\tThe new archbishop was the main celebrant at a Mass was said the afternoon of Oct. 4 at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption. He was joined by Archbishop Carlo Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the U.S., and Archbishops John Quinn and George Niederauer, former heads of the archdiocese.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Cordileone began his homily by remembering the words of Christ, \u201cFrancis, rebuild my house,\u201d spoken to the 13th century Italian saint from the cross inside Assisi's San Damiano church.<\/p>\n

\tThe archbishop noted that Francis rebuilt the dilapidated structure, faithful to the Lord's command. \u201cHe didn't make a new church, he repaired the old one. He built upon it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tFrancis' mission was one of not only material, but spiritual renewal of the Church, as his was a time of turmoil. Many people thought material creation was bad, \u201ceven to the point of denigrating marriage\u201d and the children brought about by it.<\/p>\n

\tThe saint, however, was often \u201crejoicing in the goodness of creation, against the beliefs of his time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cFrancis' response was holiness. He focused on the universal call to holiness, each person according to their vocation in life,\u201d Archbishop Cordileone said. \u201cBut first and foremost, he began with himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe new leader encouraged his listeners to continue the renewal of the Church by imitating St. Francis' example of personal holiness and conformity to Christ.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cContinue the work of rebuilding\u2026as our father Francis teaches us, it must begin first of all in each one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Cordileone said he was encouraged by the kindness he has received recently, from individuals of many faiths. He called this \u201cinstinctive sense of compassion\u201d an \u201cimportant building block in rebuilding God's house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe U.S. especially, he noted, is a land of freedom to worship and where all persons may \u201cexpress their faith in the public square, primarily through service to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tDuring his homily, he reflected also that joy is the \u201challmark of the Christian life,\u201d and emphasized the difference between the deep abiding joy of the Christian life and fleeting pleasure.<\/p>\n

\tHe also encouraged a renewal of Eucharistic devotion, frequent confession, and daily prayer of the rosary among the local Church, \u201cso that we might arrive at the deep eternal joy he wants for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Cordileone thanked his preceding bishops and the people of Oakland, and told his new flock of his excitement for the new evangelization in San Francisco. He greeted government leaders with a resolve to collaborate to \u201cbuild up the common good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tMusic at the Mass included songs in English, Latin, and Spanish, reflecting the diversity of the archdiocese. The Latin propers were sung at the offertory and communion processions, each time accompanied by a hymn in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cLet us get on then with the work of rebuilding, knowing that 'Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it,'\u201d the archbishop concluded.<\/p>\n
