Dedication - To His Holiness Pope Pius XII March 2, 1939 - October 9, 1953 5 .L In , tix ,U a 'S qv 15- .1. '7- Pope Pius XII blesses a delegation of Catholic Action youths. When the tolling of church bells the night of October 9 informed us that Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, had died, we shared the universal grief at the passing of a great man, who had been a force for peace, justice, and human dignity throughout his long and illustrious career. In dedicating our yearbook to him and to his succes- sor, Pope John XXIII, we remember our late Pope's great love for youth, summed up in his words, If you will be the youth of the Pope, then I will be the Pope of youth. For this reason, we wish to include in our yearbook a beautiful and meaningful prayer he composed, entitled, Prayer for Young Girls: We, who are the flower of youth, prostrate ourselves before you, O Lord Jesus, and beg that Your presence may accompany us in the midst of the abiectness with which imperious materialism offends us and would wish to confuse us. May Your all-powerful and gentle strength be a sure support of our frailty and help our weakness in the net- work of malice and flattery created to attract us . . . ln the intimacy of our homes, we will strive to keep always high the standard of iustice and love, as visible sign of a Christian program of life . . . In our choice of a state of life, we will entrust our- selves with Ioving faith to Your divine will. And we will strive always to live inspired by prayer and sacramental graces, in union with You and submissive to Your will . . . O Mary, our beloved Mother, heed the prayers of these your children. O powerful advocate, help us to live our lives as the truest imitation of your virtues, to the greatest glory of your beloved Son . . .
