her honor we dedieate this book Whaf a pleasure it is for us +0 recall the pleasant scenes of boyhood! The days of carefree play always bring memories that give joy to our heart and yet in the midst of our happy playing what a blow it was to realize that parental authority was beckoning to us. In the enthusiasm of our indulgence in a game, we may not for a time have heard the summons. Then an older person passing by would tap us on the shoulder and tell us: Your mother is caLing you. On November I, 1954, Our Holy Father Pope Pius XII, in inaugurating the Marian Year tapped the shoulder of the Catholic World to remind us that Our Heavenly Mother is calling us. Why is she calling us? Because she has a way out of the difficulty which enmeshes the world. Her counsel is the same as that given to the waiters of Cana in Galilee, Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye. Our Mother bids us hearken to the mes:age of the Prince of Peace, Her Own Divine Son. As we step out to assume responsibility for the conduct of our lives in this Marian Year, what a comfort it is for us to know that Our Blessed Mother is calling us to take refuge under the mantle of her powerful and unfailing orotection. What assurance is born of the recollection that never was it known that anyone who had recourse to her protection or implored her help was ever left unaided. Mindful of our Blessed Mother ' s personal and perpetual interest in us, and pledging ourselves to be her faithful petitioners, now and at the hour of our death, we dedicate this 1954 Explorer to her!
