I mi � MARY, Who first gave to GOD HER HEART, HER MIND, HER ACTIONS is our theme: Schooled in the depths of Divine Love, She led to Wisdom ' s gate That we may grow day by day before the Lord Ry MARY S SIDE With MARY’S EYES With MARY’S HEART o Our badi CAUSE OF OUR JOY The proclamation of the dogma of the Assumption on November 1, 1950 by the now gloriously reigning Pope Pius XII was the source of immense joy for all ardent devotees of Our Lady. It has always been the belief of the Church throughout its history that Mary’s body was assumed into heaven shortly after Her death. On this mystery there is not a dis¬ cordant note among the theologians. To honor this mystery the Church has put her official seal on her belief by establishing the feast of the Assumption making it a holyday of obligation. But an ex cathedra definition of the dogma brings Mary closer to us and to all mankind. Mary comes to reawaken in men’s hearts and souls a new and devoted love for God. It is indeed a happy memory to hearken back to the time of Mary’s Assumption. What a scene of heavenly beauty, grandeur, and magnifi¬ cence! Before this gorgeous pageant, transcending the highest flight of fancy, human eloquence pales. Exalted above the nine choirs of the angels and above all the saints, and before the assembled heavenly court, Mary is crowned their Queen by the Eternal God. Mary! The Mother of Christ! Our Mother! It is indeed a great and distinguished privilege to honor the importance of the occasion by dedicating this volume of THE ANGELICAN with its theme of MARY to OUR BLESSED LADY whom we salute in spirit at all shrines in all the world and to whom with renewed faith we pray: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” Q e ssum Who is she that ascends so high, Next the Heavenly King, Round about whom Angels fly And her praises sing? Who is she that, adorned with light, Makes the sun her robe, At whose feet the queen of night Lays her changing globe? To that crown direct thine eye, Which her head attires; There thou mayest her name descry Writ in starry fires. This is she in whose pure womb Heaven’s Prince remained; Therefore in no earthly tomb Can she be contained. Heaven she was, which held that fire, Whence the world took light, And to Heaven doth now aspire Flames with flames t’unite. She that did so clearly shine When our day begun, See how bright her beams decline Now she sits w ith the Sun. — John Beaumont With his eyes fixed calmly and steadfastly upon the guiding Star of the Sea, he pilots the ship of Peter through the troubled waters, serene and unafraid. With profound homage and affectionate loyalty we hearken to his plea and gaze lovingly upon the particular beauty of the Star, brilliant with the glory of the Assumption. HIS HOLINESS POPE PIUS XII Now gloriously reigning MOST REVEREND HENRY O’BRIEN Bishop of Hartford To our Beloved Bishop, who devotedly brings Mary’s message to hundreds of homes in the diocese, we pledge our devotion and loyalty and pray that Mary shower upon Him riches of the Divine Treasury. VERY REVEREND MOTHER MARY SIMPLICITA Mother General The Eternal Master found in them a true reflection of Mary. To them we pay our deep tribute. Their rosary fervor has found its warmth in our hearts and assisted us in daily virtuous living. MAGNIFICAT My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because He has regarded the lowliness of His hand¬ maid; for, behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name; And for generation upon generation is His mercy, to those who fear Him. He has shown might with his arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, His servant, mindful of His mercy — Even as He spoke to our fathers — to Abraham and to his posterity forever.

It was only natural that our love for Mary should have grown rapidly within the walls of our dear Alma Mater. No one could be an Angelite without being influenced by the tradition it created — TO WORK CEASELESSLY UNTO IDENTIFICATION WITH MARY. It was Mary who directed our steps in the way of true wisdom; it was Mary’s influence, Mary’s teaching, and Mary’s example that showed us how to walk in the ways of God: The warmth of HER LOVE enkindled our HEARTS; The depth of HER WISDOM enlightened our INTELLIGENCE; The simplicity of HER WAYS directed our ACTIONS. Queen of Angels, hear our fervent prayer, Take us ’neath Thy care; O Mother loved, be our life, our stay, Guide and love us, save and protect us, ’Till the dawn of eternal day.

Hail Mary Silver things are beautiful things . . . the stars, a splashing fountain in the moonlight, a dewdrop on a rose, but none are as lovely as the silver chain of a rosary which links us all ever closer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The greatest bond between Mary and her children is the great prayer through which we speak directly to Her Heart. This is the prayer that we have called the little prayer”, the prayer that we repeat fifty-three times in ten minutes or fifteen minutes when we say the Rosary. Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with Thee! What a wealth of Christian mysticism in its simplicity! What deeds of love it celebrates! What awesome truth it expresses! It is like the stroke of the sanctus bell. And yet the Hail Mary sprang up as a prayer from the first Christians to whom the Faith was a magnificent adventure in the shadow of martyrdom. From then on it has been said millions of times a day in every conceivable language that it has become like a dear folk song. How simple it is, but how r ich! It commemorates great acts of love and at the same time, it brings back tender memories of Our Lady’s life on earth in an aura of celestial light. Indeed, it must be like the interwoven strands of time, place, and circumstance that bring joy and tears to Mary’s eyes. When we say the Hail Mary, memories, one after another, come back sharply. Mary in this way is reminded of the Incarnation, of the Presentation of the Child Jesus, of the Passion of Her Beloved Son. This must be the reason why this prayer moves Her so; why its petition is so powerful. Hail Mary, Full of Grace! The Lord Is With Thee! Blessed Are Thou Among Women are the opening words of the prayer which were spoken by the Archangel Gabriel. Truly this messenger transmitted this salutation from the mind of God Himself. And Blessed Is the Fruit of Thy Womb . . . the next words of the Hail Mary, are uttered by Elizabeth, Mary’s aged cousin. Nor was it the Church that began the Hail Mary. But the early Christians, hearing the first words of it in the Gospel, themselves began it. As the composition of the first part of the Hail Mary shook heaven, the second part shook the Church. Holy Alary, Mother of God, Pray for Us Sinners were the nine additional words placed into the Hail Mary at the Council of Ephesus in 431. These words were adopted, because Nestorius, a patriarch of Constan¬ tinople, denied Mary’s right to the title Mother of God and forbade his people to apply it to Her. There was a dramatic beauty in the choice of Ephesus as the scene of this battle over the title deeds of Mary, because Mary had lived there for a time when a fierce persecution of Christians reddened Jerusalem. The little town of Ephesus took pride in the fact that Mary had lived there, and with an intense interest the city awaited the final word of the Council whether or not Mary was the Mother of God. When Mary was pronounced the Mother of God, the night burst into a festival of singing Aves and Te Deums. Almost immediately St. Patrick, seminarian at the time of the Council of Ephesus, took the glory of Mary to Ireland and imparted to the Irish people a devotion to Her that became a tradition and a heritage in every clan. Hungary, Portugal, and Poland proclaimed Mary as their sovereign. Chivalry, the dominant institution of the Middle Ages, hailed Mary as its Lady. The Knights of Malta invoked Her assistance on receiving their swords. Poland adopted the Boga Rodzica” (Mother of God) as its war song. Louis XI declared Her the Countess of Boulogne. Charlemagne built churches in Her honor. The Scottish kings wore gold rosaries as part of the royal insignia. With the battle cry Mary,” armies of Ferdinand and Isabella drove the Moors from Spain. Columbus named his flagship the Santa Maria and devoutly recited Her office each day on the voyage. Poets invoked Mary in rhyme, musicians and artists took Mary into melody and color. And the United States named Her the patroness of the Holy Church in America. All this is the result of the Council of Ephesus, of a single phrase of the Hail Mary. Yet to the faithful there remained something unfinished in this beautiful prayer and so with the simplicity of the need itself, they brought the petition to its perfect close: Now and At the Hour of Our Death. But Amen was not the end. The Church later inserted Mary’s name in the salutation and it was not until 1261 that Pope Urban IV placed the crowning stone upon this beautiful prayer — the word given to Mary at the Incarnation — the Name of Jesus. Now it is ours to say and to pass on to all with whom we come in contact. It is a folk prayer inspired by God, its first part handed down to us by Mary through the Apostle Luke, the con¬ clusion a perfect response of her children. It is the prayer that moves heaven and earth. It is a prayer of love and admiration of a child to its Mother. • i Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since Thou has its key.” Such is the prayerful appeal of the Angelites who seek the more abundant life under the protecting mantle of Mary. Humbly they place themselves under Her lov¬ ing direction with the earnest prayer to become and remain an altera Maria”. Angelites are seen wending their way to the convent chapel for their spiritual rejuvenation in the Sacrament of Penance. To beg for the munificent gifts of the Holy Ghost for a successful and fruitful school year is the pur¬ pose of the Red Mass to which the Angelites hasten with joyous and hopeful hearts. Hail Marys before our shrine bloom into an eternal flower. The Seniors bearing banners lead the Angelites to Mary’s shri ne to take the oath of fealty to the Queen of the Peace, and thereby be formally received into the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima. Prayer is our ONLY weapon. Not A-bombs nor H-bombs, but plenty ' of B-bombs, BLUE BOMBS for Mary, each one containing millions of Hail Marys with which to shower the world and thereby bring the light of faith to Russia and peace to all mankind. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. And we saw His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” St. John 1:14 It is a special privilege of the Senior class to prepare the Nativity scene in the spirit of St. Francis, who gave the first crib to the faithful of Greccio. Here, from the Holy Babe, the Angelites learn the lovely lesson of detachment from earthly goods and comforts, that they may the better serve God and the more easily keep their hearts lifted up to heaven. Every Christmas has in itself a newness that gives the Angelite great delight. First it is Mary, the Morning Star, through whom Christ is born again and again in the individual heart. Then it is the candle, that symbolizes Christ as the light of the world. With a candle in her hand and a carol in her heart the Senior Angelite asks her Infant King to be the secret light fended in His true home, her own heart. Harmony of Angelite Life One of heaven’s loveliest gifts is the melody and harmony in our everyday life. If we but stop to listen, even for just a second, we will be aware of its presence. Music swells from each far corner of the earth; the most commonplace things in life merge together in the symphony of life. The buzzing bees and chirping birds, the winds sifting through leafy green branches and rippling over a lake — all these add sweetness to the tune. The everyday movements of the Academy life, slow or fast, loud or soft, are a part of the great symphony of life. Symbolic of our contributions is the grand organ, the living instrument, created by God and touched by Our Lady’s hand to give forth sweet choral harmony and attract souls to Mary. Every Angelite takes her place side by side as do the black and white keys, symbolic of innocence of joy and soberness of duty. There appears hardly any distinction in the closely serried ranks of our daily life at the academy, and yet, as in the notes and keys of the organ, there is a distinctness which calls for different names and individuality of gifts of mind and body, a variation of temperaments and personalities which call for a difference of service. Some of the students, like the keys of the organ are in constant use. Such are the more active, the more forward, the more courageous. Others are less frequently touched — the more recessive, the quiet, the shy. Yet all form the keyboard of our Grand Organ” — O.L.A. Quiet harmony adds much to music’s gracious beauty; Every key moves silently up and down when Jane goes silently about her duty. Genevieve has a heart with room for every joy, Contentment stays with her as with every child a toy. As the pedals of an organ play their major role unseen, So, too, when such work must be done, we often turn to Bernardine. Willingness to lend a hand when there is something to do, Leaves our Connie always involved in something important and new. Life is a great gift of God and Mary’s definite goal, Her patient love of neighbor heaven’s angels will extoll. As the keys upon an organ respond to Mary’s gentle touch, So, too, Joan replies to Mary’s wish although Mary may ask much. For her immediate reply to every request, We feel sure that Barbara will ever be blessed. Theresa’s thoughfulness, her kind words often heard. Will ever aid her to prosper heavenward. Piano duets by two sisters bring to us joy abounding, The musical talents of Mae Rose and Louise are truly very astounding. Our Lady is pleased to hear the song from Mary Ann’s heart. Her alleluias of gratitude to God she ever imparts. The rhythm of love is heard when Marysue makes her choice, To do a favor here and there that other hearts may rejoice. In reading Polish novels Mildred takes the greatest pleasure. Her skill for the stage we could never measure. God’s ways are quiet ways, so the saying goes; The truth of this phrase is something Anne Marie well knows. Zealously fulfilling each daily task no matter how tiring, Perseverance such as Pauline’s is a quality well worth desiring. Carol is a major key and her heart is really roomy, She is a sweet lass who is never gloomy. Like the sound of a lilting melody is Irene’s laughing smile, Wherever this happy girl goes, her sunny laugh lingers a while. A serene disposition ever so calm and mild, Marks Anastasia as Our Lady’s smiling and patient child. A generous friendship in Mary Beth every student knows, To all she comes with love, to all with charm she glows. The C key of charity heaven’s gate to Ruth will open, Her many acts of kindness and good deeds form a melody of joy unbroken. Genial courtesy is Jean Marie’s simple creed, A lesson in manners she will seldom need. Carol M. loves to speak of her pen pals in many lands, With all these friends she has a veritable league of nations at her command. jean Ann’s gift for elocution is foremost in her mind, Her type of entertainment spreads joy to all mankind. Sweetly and clearly Alice’s voice rings out, She is truly a songbird we are glad to have about. When dark and ominous clouds over others loom, Shirley’s sympathetic ways dispense all pressing gloom. Like a rhythmic hum floating through the breeze, Patricia’s soft voice gives a charm that will ever please. With a keen interest in all her lessons and books, Dolores is really as studious as she looks. Lucretia is alert and always on her toes, When it’s English reproduction, her lesson she always knows. A faculty for spreading great joy Rena does possess, Her happy attitude will be instrumental for her success. Betsy is an intelligent girl with an inventive imagination, Her skill at dramatics wins great admiration. Virginia is ever fond to please one and all, Her many acts of kindness we shall fondly recall. Mary Louise is light of heart and likes to make a good pal, In art typing her nimble fingers do excell. Elizabeth M. is a patient worker and a faithful friend, She is a lover of silence who works faithfully to the end. Norma is always amiably disposed and admired by all, She is as charitable as she is tall. Florence displays her lady-like manners the livelong day, And many smiles she diffuses on her way. Interests of others are ever in Pat D’s mind, When others are happy, Pat feels fine. £Jn ke Sckooi Of w Man By Alary ' s Appointment In September 1947, the doors of O.L.A. opened to behold a group of lost and frightened Freshmen, who hailed from New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. During the first few days we found ourselves in a daze until we became better acquainted with our devoted Mother Directress, loving teachers, honorable seniors, and friendly girls. Strange as it may seem, our dialects were a source of amusement to our schoolmates. We began the new school year — a year bright with the hope and promise of new knowledge and happiness, amid the strands of pious, melodic voices, and an atmosphere of aesthetic glory, before Our Lady’s Altar during the Red Mass. We felt as if we were the Apostles surrounding Our Lady at the glorious descent of the Holy Ghost. From that time we resolved to have greater devotion to the Blessed Mother taking Her as OUR LIFE, OUR SWEETNESS, AND OUR HOPE. In Mary we found a model easy to imitate. There was nothing extraordinary in Her exterior life except its ordinariness lived extraordinarily for Jesus’ love. The first assembly of the school year was a surprise of surprises. We were to be INITIATED! The effects of the ceremony tinted our cheeks a vivid blushing pink, but we pulled through the ordeal with true sportsmanship. We then plunged into the new and tedious task of studies. Since these were new, we came upon certain difficulties, but nevertheless we always found comfort kneeliog before Mary, Our Model. The Latin words Tempus fugit” proved true of our Freshman year. Before we knew it, final examinations were upon us and brought that year to a close. Seeing the seniors preparing for Novitiate, we anxiously prayed that we too would greet the day. All was not as arduous as we thought, for Mary was always at our side to guide us. To look to both Jesus and Mary was the one lesson imprinted into our hearts this memorable year. In Mary’s Keeping The bud of our freshman year had unfolded under the warmth of our increasing love for the Blessed Mother. Since O.L.A.’s enrollment was doubled, the school too had to expand. So out garage became the victim. It was a new adventure for us ’’Sophs” to trod on the pioneer trail from one building to another. Before we knew it, Caesar’s army surrounded us with many a battle, Euclid bewildered us with intricate geometrical designs, and the dates in American History baffled us with records of our country’s progress. Before the year came to a close, however, we were on the road of conquest and success because we had on our side a more powerful force — the Blessed Mother. Great then was our joy when in May of this year our benevolent Father Paul Bartlewski presented us a beautiful statue of the Immaculate Conception. On the day of Our Lady’s arrival, we renewed our pledge of loyalty and promised to cling to Mary as to a powerful Friend and Patron. Having passed the final test once more, the major part of our adventure was completed. Ahead lay more joy and greater responsibility. Under Mary’s Training Our Junior year was a year of great rejoicing and heartfelt thanksgiving. Of rejoicing, for we have completed one half of our educational journey, and of thanksgiving, for it brought us closer to the goal which loomed ahead of us. Two new subjects were now added to our curriculum: biology with its field trips . . . research and reports . . . reflections of Divine wisdom and power; and French, with its glimpses of Paris . . . new rules and exceptions . . . and many great Saints. The feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin brought us great joy, because the Felician Sisters, our teachers and great devotees of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, commemorated seventy-five years of labor and sacrifice on the American soil. A continual chorus of ”Te Deum” re-echoed throughout the three-day celebration. No sooner had the celebration subsided when our beloved Mother Directress’ Silver Jubilee embarked upon us. Twenty-five years of faithful imitation of Mary was an inspiration for us to follow our motto more devoutly, Ad Jesum per Mariam”. We resolved that charity, humility, and prayer, instilled into our hearts by our Mother Directress, be our guide toward our eternal goal. Our happiness became complete in the month of May when a portion of Paradise, a shrine, was constructed on our campus. This year certainly has been jubilant! As always, Our Blessed Mother ended another perfect year for She was our Consolation and our Refuge. For Her Time We now come to the greatest and last year in our high school life, our senior year. What a series of new experi¬ ences! Photographs, measurements for caps and gowns, yearbooks, and assemblies! We were entrusted with numerous responsibilities, and in a seemingly short time, the thick desk calendar dwindled down to but a few sheets. Testing solutions and balancing equations provoked our thinking, but the experiments proved themselves inter¬ esting. We had the opportunity to study beauty in science, literature, language, art, and prayer. We learned that every day has a basketful of riches ready to be heaped into our arms, if we only look and are ready to receive them. The princi¬ ples we have acquired at O.L.A. will be beacon lights for the unseen days ahead. Our studies did demand more attention, application, and intellectual stamina, but we carried on ever more reso¬ lutely, for when human efforts failed, we found consolation in our motto Ad Jesum per Mariam”. We laughed and shared, led and followed among the ever-widening and yet always close circles of our own student body. We are rich for the friends we have made, for the knowledge we have acquired, and for the spirit we have gained. These moments seem so much a living part of us now that it is hard to believe there was ever a September in 1947, when we said Hello” to O.L.A. We have reached that stage of our life history when, envisaged in Mary-like spirit, we stand on the threshold of a world we know little about except from books and experiences of others, but there are souls whose salvation will largely depend on the opportunity they will have of coming under our influence. We go with one wish, with one prayer: May our lives be such that our fellow men may see Mary in us, feel Mary in us, and love Mary in us.

A VOTE OF THANKS Gratitude is the fairest blossom that springs forth from the soul; and the heart of man knoweth none more fragrant.” The aroma of June fragrance of our last days at the Academy is around us. And as we look back on the road we have traveled, we realize our indebtedness of gratitude to our honorable and beloved faculty, the Felician Sisters. For four long years they had given us generously of their time and effort in forming Mary-like personalities in us. No month elapsed without several reminders of Mary’s glory, of Mary’s dignity. No week passed without setting aside one day for Mary’s honor. No day passed without Mary being invoked in some particular manner. For four long years they taught us how to learn the better things of life. They introduced us to beauty and truth in literature, in languages, in the social and mathematical sciences, in prayer and in Christian living. The many instances of their maternal solicitude in making us more Mary-like day by day reached its climax on our day of graduation. We are justly proud of our faculty. In them we found inspiration and a living example of life in Mary. Before we leave the portals of our beloved Alma Mater, it is our prayerful wish that life in the Academy continue to grow in the love of Mary, and that the reward be rich which Mary holds in store to our honorable faculty who labor in Her name for the glory of Her Son. Father Conlan shared our Ring Day joys and conveyed to us a lesson that strength of the soul is more important than bodily strength. We plant a thousand things that we daily see when we plant a tree. Down memory’s lane in future years our WEEP¬ ING CHERRY TREE planted by the Juniors Betsy Sullivan poses sweetly before she starts for her First Prize Essay Award. and our GOLDEN CHAIN TREE planted by the Sophomores will bring delight to- those who marvel at the art of God. V,J; Embarrassment at INITIATION ended in chuckles. Are Anastasia’s, Pauline’s and Dolores’ smiles turning into miles? Leisure moments on the campus. Our good Christopher” transferring us from place to place on time Mary Beth longs to be Mistress Shady — she smiles like a dainty lady; but Mary Ann Basile thinks she sees an elephant playing upon a fife. But, Oh, what does she see . . . A recess though brief is a great relief at the Master’s feet.

Christmas was a truly happy day for the Little Women” because they remembered the poor with the sacrifice of self. To express their joy they sing a merry tune. Who does no t enjoy a surprise? ipe For Sweet Memories Take a shred of Jeannette’s sincerity. Add a dash of Mae’s joviality, Mix in well Betsy’s courtesy. Sprinkle with Mary Ann L.’s geniality. Pour in a little of Marjorie’s shyness, Stiffen with some of Ann Marie’s firmness. Now add a teaspoon of Alice’s meekness, Top it off with Pauline’s kindness. Sift in a cup of Rose’s broad smiles, Roll it out to reach a thousand miles, Knead a while with Mary Jane’s good cheer. And add Mary Beth’s charm to us so dear. Sweeten well with chuckles a plenty From none other than Camille and Ros’lie, Beat in the pep of Louise and Mae Rose And Ruth’s enthusiasm which grows and grows. Now be careful; don’t make a mess, Measure in Joan J.’s pleasantness. Plus Irene’s quaint bashfulness And Mary Louise’s earnestness. Spice this with Patricia G.’s sociability, And a bit of Jean Anne’s punctuality, A tumbler full of Irene’s curiosity, A drop or two of Carol M.’s generosity. Gradually add one cup of Alice C.’s cleverness, Twirl in Pat Q.’s gentleness, Roll in Dolores’ hopefulness, Add drop by drop of Claire’s helpfulness. Blend it thoroughly with Eileen S.’s prudence, Moisten well with Carol’s influence. Combine with Mildred’s and Eleonore’s gaiety, Stir vigorously with Mary Ann’s personality. Add alternately Florence’s and Cecile’s charity. Mix together Marilyn’s and Theresa’s timidity. Put an equal amount of Rena’s piousness, Fold in Jacqueline’s and Gene Ann’s neighborliness. And when the whole of Joan T.’s artfulness is partly merged, Add Carol Q.’s charity, we urge, Put this all into a bowl of Mary Sue’s neatness, Powder it lightly with Jean Marie’s quietness. Heat the mixture in the warmth of Norma’s cheerfulness. Spread it evenly with Bernadette’s thoughtfulness, Add some of Virginia’s energy And one and a half cup of Anastasia’s serenity, Season to taste with Elizabeth’s courtesy. Now what’s next? Well, let us see . . . Whip in some of Betty’s modesty, Brush it with Lucretia’s honesty, Moisten with Pat’s studiousness, Butter pan with Joan’s and Jane’s dutifulness, Remember to pour out any excess. Bake with Frances’s quick movements. Test with Eileen’s and Ann’s fairness, Dot with Shirley’s little contentments, Decorate finely with Eileen’s patience, Garnish lavishly with Joan’s sweetness, Serve on the platter of O.L.A. friendliness. NI EPOKALAAIA - NASZ Z Niepokalan? i przez Niepokalana zwyci?zymy zlo, Z Niepokalana i za Niepokalana pojdziemy wytrwale przez zycie cate.” Oto jutrzenka wschodz cego na ciemnym niebie slonca—w petni cudownego blasku; oto lilia snieznej bieli w cialo ubrana, z ziemi wzi?ta; oto istota ludzka, przewyzszaj ca sw niewinnosci? i nieskazitelnosci swietliste duchy nieba; oto Niepokalana Przeczysta Boga- rodzica Dziewica, Bogiem slawiona Maryja. To nasz ideat! Pi?kno Niepokalanej jest tak pot?zne, wieczne i niesmiertelne, ze przemawia do duszy ludzkiej, wzrusza i porywa w zaswiaty, ale wyslowic si? nie da. Nie¬ pokalana uczy nas walki ze zlem, z namiftnosciami, a walki rycerskiej i odwaznej. Uczy nas takze gardzic tym, co brudne, ziemskie i znikome; wola na nas: B dzcie pi?kne i niewinne jak lilia, ten symbol czy- stosci.” Niepokalana stoi przed nami, jako nasz wzor, jako nasz ideal. Gdyby Najsw. Panna byla tylko idealem, gdyby byla tylko Postaci? promienn —jasniej§c§—to maloby nam to po- moglo. Niepokalana—to Matka pelna milosci, to Matka mgzna, to Matka wspolczuj ca.

Ona chce, aby radosc przenikala serca nasze; by nam towarzyszylo jasne spojrzenie w przyszlosc, plyn ce z przekonania, ze id c za Niepokalana, idziemy pewnie i bezpiecznie. Stajemy wi?c do raportu przed Niepokalan . Dzis kiedy konczymy czteroletni kurs w Jej szkole, skladamv Jej nasz hold i spogl damy na Ni , j ako na nasz wzor i ideal. Idziemy do Niepokalanej w catej pot?dze milosci, jak dzieci do Najlepszej Matki. Chcemy bye mlodziez zdro- fizyeznie i moralnie.

(Przedruk wzbroniony) Wiekopomne Arcydziela Kosciota Katolickiego W miesi?cu maju, biez?cego roku, Kosciol Katolicki w calym swiecie obchodzil rocznic? dwoch z najslaw- niejszych encyklik papieskich, to jest 60-lecie Rerum Novarum” Papieza Leona XIII i 20-lecie Quadragesimo Anno” Papieza Piusa XI. Zwykle si? zdarza, ze po szescdziesi?ciu, a nawet i po dwudziestu latach, dziela ludzkie gin? w oceanie niepami?ci, lub co najmniej trac? sw? nowosc. Wszelako slawa i wartosc tych dwoch wielkich dokumentow spolecznych wzrasta niemal z kazdym rokiem. S? one w obecnym okresie skutecznym lekarstwem na rozruchy i niepokoje wsrod klas robotniczych. Nauki gloszone w tych dwoch encyklikach tworz? jakby moraln? pod- walin? naszych wolnosci, godnosci kazdego czlowieka, i s? moralnym fundamentem praw ludzkosci. Wobec ich nauk my, jako Katolicy, powinnismy odznaczac si? nie tylko wspolczuciem wzgl?dem tylu milionow ludzi, pozbawionych swych praw i wolnosci, i tylu milionow innych, nie maj?cych srodkow zarobienia sobie dosyc na utrzymanie siebie i swoich rodzin, ale staraniem polepszenia ich niedoli. W zakresie zycia przemyslowego z jego licznymi rozterkami, obaj Papieze wykazuj? obowi?zki pracodaw- cow i pracownikow. Tu poruszaj? wazne punkty tycz?ce naleznej zaplaty, strajkow, organizacji robotnikow i prawa wlasnosci w obliczu ich moralnych wartosci i wlasciwego post?powania. Te dwie encykliki mozna smialo nazwac kamieniem w?gielnym naszej katolickiej nauki socjalnej i funda¬ mentem naszego katolickiego post?powania socjalnego. S? one drogowskazami do zdrowych zasad na to mno- stwo problemow, jakie dzis tak powaznie gn?bi? spoleczenstwo. Jako Katolicy, maj?cy poparcie i kierownictwo zdrowych nauk Kosciola Sw., mozemy w duzej mierze przyczynic si? do polepszenia zycia spolecznego. Przy- najmniej powinnismy zaznajomic si? z tresci? obu encyklik, RERUM NOVARUM i QUADRAGESIMO ANNO, aby moc nalezycie ocenic prawdziwie Chrystusowy stosunek Papiezy Leona XIII i Piusa XI do roznych klas robotniczych i ich pracodawcow. « AHOt POKOJll SW. KATARZYNA SENEtfSKA AKT II Dziesi dni pozniej, 20 maja 1376, Matka Katarzyna przebywa w domu Nic- colo Soderini we Florencji, gdzie dyktuje Siostrze Aleksji wazne listy do Ojca Swi?tego i do ksi?cia Anjou. Margaryta, ktora pielygnowala Piotra i Wincentego, bolesnie odczuwa odjazd Wincentego do Avignon.
