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.

• 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.

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.
