Avvenire, the semi-official daily of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI), published yesterday a short profile of Don Guido Marini (PDF), new Master of Pontifical Liturgical Ceremonies, which included excerpts of Marini's own note on his nomination:
In the brief written note with which the new Master of Pontifical Ceremonies willed to express his own "sentiments", other than [expressing] "thanks" to the Pope for the selection and to Bagnasco "for the paternal affection with which he has followed my path this year and, especially, in the past few months", Marini also wished to convey a thought on the deceased Cardinal Giuseppe Siri: "I believe that he is also glad to see one of his priests, whom he received in Seminary, called to carry out this job, he who loved and promoted the liturgy so much."
