Father Burcki - whose door is always open, whose smile is so friendly, whose ideals we respect. Our Cdalofain agnihcaf . . My soul reflects the beauty, the glory of God. Long ages before time began, the mind of God fashioned the perfect daughter, glorious in grace, sublime in innocence, Mary. Her heart would vibrate in consonant yearning with the Divine Will: Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Magnificat . . . The modern-day Mary, heiress to her mantle of loyal and fortitudinous blue, comes into a world plaintive in its cry for staunch mother- hood. May her womanly wisdom ever love the glory, her Mary-like valour ever cherish the resolu- tion: Behold the handmaid .... Resplendent will be the grandeur of her soul as time blends into eternity, ringing with the sublime epitaph of her life: Magnificat ....

0l'll!Cll' agni icaf My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him. He hath showed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy. As He spoke to our fathers: to Abra- ham and to his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Dear Mary, as you turn with us the pages of this book, and see reflected in our faces all the love and joy, all the hopes and aspirations of youth, pray for us and remain close to us, O loving Mother . . . that every day of our lives we may be able to look up into the eyes of your Divine Son, and say as you did so long ago: Be- hold . . . behold the handmaid of the Lord !
