The ordination ceremony of the Most Rev. Linus Lee Seong-hyo, who had been appointed as Auxiliuary Bishop of the Diocese of Suwon on February 7, 2011, was held at Jeongjadong Cathedral of Suwon on March 25, 2011.


 


The Most Rev. Matthias Ri Iong-hoon, Bishop of Suwon, said in his homily "bishop Lee must sincerely devote himself to prayer and celebration of Mass for the people entrusted to him. He also, with his priests, has to communicate generous and charitable love of God to the faithful and do his best to manifest the face, heart, and work of Jesus Christ."


 


Bishop Ri said that he invoked the Lord to give the answer to 'how to live?','what to do?' during the 40 days' retreat with meditation and reflection right after his appointment as Auxiliuary Bishop of the Diocese of Suwon. He continued to say that he could finally find the answer in the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini. And he pledged: “I will do my best to carry out my ministry, in communion with the Bishop and priests of the Diocese of Suwon, listening modestly and humbly to all the opinions after the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with 'obedient attitude' for the future of the diocese.
