' YE XX'hen Pope Pius XII. in gin Encyelieztl l,etter to inztrk the ltttltli ttnniversztry of the proelzunntion ol' the lmmueulztte Conception ofthe Blessed Virgin Klztry, announced at hltirian Year, the whole Cgitholie world rejoiced, In his eneyeliezil, the Pope pointed out the relationship between the doctrines ol the Immneultite Conception and the Assumption. and urged Christians everywhere to conform their lives to the image ot the Yirqin Mother of God, Because Mary is our mother, nothing pleases her more than to see those whom she has adopted under the cross of her Son, fashioning' their souls alter hers, in thought, word, ti nd action, The two singular privileges bestowed upon the Blessed Virgin, one at the very beginning ol' her life, and one at the end, are closely related. For the greatest possible glorilication ol' her Virgin body complements the absolute innocence of her soul, which was free from all stain. At this time, when the world is so filled with strife and conliict caused by people forsaking God, it is expedient to remember that our Blessed lvlother, throughout all the sorrows and trials of her life, never onee departed from the precepts and example of her Divine Son. For this reason, M3l'B' is the likely one lor the world to choose as its Patroness to pray to for peace. It is true that those who control governments e:m do mueh toward this object. However, until people return to God through Mztry, there eztn be no hope ol' il permanent world peace. To celebrate the Nlarian Year, and to give expression to their liziith :md love, the Pope has requested that the l7ztithl't1l should come together in lztrtge numbers to oller to Our Most Sweet Mother, not only pI'lVZ1l1' prayers, but public suppliczttions with one voiee :md one mind, 'l'he Pope mentioned severztl speeizil M2lI'l2lIl Yeztr intentions, for which everyone should petition, 'l'he lirst is thttt, with the help ol' divine grziee, the way ol' lilie ol' each one ol us tnzty be mnde tnore eonlormztble to the lttw ol' God, Prztyers must also be olliered for our youths, thttt they might lettrn to know :md love God etlrly in their lite, M2lI'y'lS intercession must especially be :tsked lor lloly Mother llhureh, thztt her sztered rights :md lreedom mzty be zteluiowleclgecl everywhere. llere :tt Cfgtrtnel, where speeiztl devotion to Our l,z1dv is il trztdition, the Mztriztn Yeztr wzts eelebrztted in ntxtny XYZINS. lhe wextrinu ol' the brown se1tpul:u', to wliieh so lllillly ntrtrvelous promises liztve been lIll2lClll'il. l11lS l'l'2ll'l1etl the point where no fittrniel mttn would be without one.
