Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Pope Pius IX: A Tribute of Esteem and Love to the Memory of the Saintly and Glorious Pontiff In order to avoid unduly lengthening the memorial services, and because of the mournful nature of the occasion, the portions of the following memoir relating to the Holy Father's participation in the solemn public ceremonies of the Church were omitted from the eulogy pronounced in Sacramento, in which his person and character were alone delineated. They were delivered on a previous occasion in St. Mary's Cathedral, San Francisco, and I have thought it fit to insert them here as forming an integral part of my recollections, deeming them, moreover, of special interest now, since Pius IX. was the last who has appeared in the sacred splendor so eminently becoming the papal ceremonial. Let us hope that our Holy Father, Leo, may soon be free to gratify and exalt the devotion of the faithful, as was the wont of his predecessor of sacred memory.
