The Archdiocese for Military Services received a new auxiliary bishop on Thursday, as Msgr. Robert J. Coyle was ordained with exhortations to remain humble, vigilant and faithful to the Gospel.
"The successor of the apostles is humble and recognizes that he has received everything from God. He is sober and alert so as to be vigilant," Military Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio told Bishop-designate Coyle in his homily before the ordination.
He encouraged the new bishop to listen willingly to those he serves.
"Much of your ministry will be listening as you allow the soldier to tell his story, the veteran afflicted with PTSD relate what brought him to this point, or the Marine share her pride in the corps," he said.
