7cvzecaafzaf And My peace no man shall take from you. Is Christ's promise of two thousand years ago to be barren in our lives? A nd who will give us a definition of this peace and a means to apprehend it and make it our own? Such thoughts crowded our minds as we set about developing the theme for Veritas 1955 , and our earnest seeking and mental ruminating brought us inevitably to the gay little jigure of the thirteenth century 'who skipped around the countryside singing Peacef Good people, Cod give you peace! Did St. Francis wish for his neigh- bors the rnere cessation of strife-a pleasant lull between the intermittent battles of the era? Partly, but his prayer went far deeper. His idea of peace signihed a state of soul that would not be affected by external circum- stances: sickness, health., prosperity, hard times , or national securitlv. .Tlan was to possess it jirmly, surely, even perpetually, but the price was high. lt included the great struggle of ridding one's life of sin, of allowing the new man of grace to triumph. over the flesh, of surrendering eirerything, above all, on.e's will, to the divine Lover who would then establish. His sweet reign in the docile soul. This last surrender was, and remains, a feat for spiritual heroes,but Francis knew, and would teach us, that all Christians are supposed to be just that. W e have tried to learn the lesson. We know we are able to strive after and lay hold of that peace which is our rightful inheritance, since we are the children of the Saints. And in possessing it ourselves ever more fully, our one desire will be to pass it on to others, and to repeat with all sincerity: Lord, nzake me an instrument of Thy peace. i 4 W 5, . ,X W -K V N 3, - K s . 1 ,L KA, v .- ,t ..,, K vu - K ' if K 4 -v. --W

Very Reverend Mother Benedetta, C.S.,l B, Superior General of the Sisters of St. John the Baptist Reelected Superior General, in August 1954, Mother Benedetta, C.S.,l B., has guided the Congregation of the Sisters of St. John the Baptist in that capacity for eighteen years. We, who had the pleasure of a visit from her during our high school days, revere her maternal, tactful and courageous nature. God seems to have endowed Mother with special wisdom and forbearance-for we have witnessed the achievement of undreamed of cultural and spiritual goals. It is our fervent hope that we always tender a filial aifection for one who, from afar, has been very near us, in spirit and motherly solicitude. IO
