* WFB's remarks at a celebration hosted by Fr. George W. Rutler for the 50th anniversary of his parish, the Church of Our Saviour, New York City, February 8, 2005
Ladies and gentlemen. I was asked ten days ago if I would take part in this program, and I of course said yes, I would, as who would not under the circumstances? I then received, only yesterday, a copy of a column by the illustrious George Weigel, published in the Denver Catholic Register. What he said in that column which is immediately relevant was that, at this celebration, scores of VIPs would be present and that "the bestselling point of the affair is that, as Father Rutler has assured me, there will be no speeches."
A part of me joined in gratitude at this assurance, but another part of me wondered what I would do with the 30-minute speech I had so carefully prepared. I prayed to St. Jude, who counsels us on confronting the impossible, and quick as a flash he got back to me, saying, "Bill, why don't you save that speech to give at the 60th anniversary celebration of Our Saviour?"
I thought that a brilliant idea. But it raised, of course, a problem I am not certain St. Jude is equipped to deal with, namely my longevity. All of which brings me to the point I was authorized to articulate in my non-speech. Appropriately integrated into what has come before, it is this: Before the end of the year, I will be 80. But before the end of the winter, Father Rutler will be 60. So that whereas we can't count on my speaking his praises and celebrating his achievements ten years from now, we can express our felicitations on his 60th birthday, which is just around the corner.
How very much he has to celebrate, and how very much we have to thank him for, especially ...
