Q I I QM , in 0 n X T Prayer for the lloly Year LMIGHTY and eternal Cod, with our - whole soul we thank Thee for the great gift of the Holy Year. + Heavenly Father, Thou Who seest all things, Who searchest and dost guide the hearts of men, make them responsive, in this time of grace and salvation, to the voice of Thy Son. + May the Holy Year be for all men a year of purification and sanctification, of interior life and reparation, the year of the great return and of the great pardon. + Bestow on those, who are suffering persecution for the Faith, Thy spirit of fortitude, to unite them inseparably with Christ and His Church. 'l' Protect, O Lord, the Vicar of Thy Son on earth together with all bishops, priests, religious, and all the faithful. Vouchsafe that all, both priests and laity, the young, the mature, and the old, inti- mately in thought and affection, may be- come as a solid rock, against which the fury of Thy enemies will break in vain. + May Thy grace enkindle in all men love for the many unfortunate people, 'whom poverty and misery reduce to a condition of life un- worthy of human beings. + Arouse in the hearts of those who call Thee Father', a hunger and thirst for social justice and for fraternal charity in deeds and in truth. 'l' Grant, O Lord, peace in our daysi' - peace to souls, peace to families, peace to our country, peace among nations. May the rainbow of peace cover with the sweep of its serene light the Land sanctified by the life and passion of Thy Divine Son. 'l' Cod of all consolation! Deep is our misery, grave our faults, countless our needs. But greater still is our trust in Thee. Conscious of our unworthiness, we lovingly place our lot in Thy hands, uniting our weak prayers to the intercession and the merits of the most glor- ious Virgin Mary and all the Saints. 'l' Grant to the sick, resignation and health, to young men, the strength that is born of faith, to young girls, the gift of purity, to fathers, prosperity and holiness for their families, to mothers, success in their mission of rearing their children, to orphans, affec- tionate protection, to the refugees and pris- oners, their fatherland, and to all men Thy grace, in preparation and in pledge of the unending happiness of heaven. Amen. Christmas, 1948 Pius PP. XII
