Reign over the Church, which acknowledges and ex- tols your gentle dominion and has recourse to you as a safe refuge amid the calamities of our day. Reign especially over that part of the Church which is persecuted and oppressed, give it strength to bear adversity, constancy never to yield under unjust compulsion, light to avoid falling into enemy snares, Hrmness to resist overt attack, and at every moment unwavering faithfulness to your kingdom. Reign over rnen'J minds, that they may seek only what is true, over their wills that they may follow solely what is good, over their hearts that they may love nothing but what you yourself love. Reign over individual: and over families, as well as over societies and nations, over the assemblies of the powerful, the counsels of the wise, as over the simple aspirations of the humble. Obtain for us that all who now, in every corner of the world, acclaim and hail you Queen and Mistress, may one day in heaven enjoy the fullness of your kingdom in the vision of your Divine Son, Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost, lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen. The solemn moment on the Feast of All Saints when the Holy Father, Pope Pius XII proclaimed the new feast day of the Queenship of Mary.

She it was who sowed the seed of fervent prayer, joyous atonement, and lilial devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, on that memorable Feast of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, November 21, 1855. The century of achievement has been embellished throughout by her motto enshrined into hearts of thousands of her spiritual daughters- All through the Heart of Mary in honor of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Through the Immacu- late Heart of Mary, Mother Mary Angela's love of the Eucharist found its outlet in an unique devotion-Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Today, her spiritual daughters reap the harvest of her prayerful spirit. Every Motherhouse is privileged with daily exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. The century of achievement has been attained through her potential spirit of atonement. In her daily drama of life at work she played her role like a mas- ter-doing little things in a great way, in atonement for the legion of souls who failed to understand the nobility of work. To her spiritual daughters, she be- queathed a magnificent ideal of life at work. The century of achievement has been enriched with her lilial de- votion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. To that Heart she sur- rendered all, without reserve. In 1874, the Saintly Foundress dedi- cated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the entire community-those present and those to come. Today, the Felician Sister daily relives this act of Gonsecration which the Church has enriched with an indulgence of two hundred days for each recital. The opening words express the spirit: the spirit: O beloved Heart of My Immaculate Mother, I desire to make an offering of myself to You, For belonging to You, I belong to Jesus also . . as 5? as ,Q4 0853 , 'X' X 7 Bw: S ZWIIIINNS Q ai1org,,q.Q '-,s-' Q K L ' .7 S ' l 1.-' , , 'V' , - ff if -.

Provincial Superior GX g0l'lbll'l'l Slogans have a hidden power. Often, they have changed the course of nations. More often, they have directed the desires and renewed the spirit in the depths of people's hearts. St. Francis had a slogan. It was one that reflected the richness of his heart and the intensity of his mes- sage to mankind. His slogan Pax et Bonum was a message of peace-a message of joy. The joy of St. Francis sprang from the union of nature and super- nature, reaching an exultant union with Christ, the King of Peace. St. Francis wanted his followers to sow joy where there was sadness. He asked them to be ambassadors of peace. That is why the spirit of St. Francis was the true spirit of Christ and His Church. Peace should not lie listless in the human heart. God blesses not those who possess it but those who give itg and those who give ir, share God's goodness. Through St. Francis, God has placed His peace as a new two-edged sword in the hands of His children on earth. With this sword of peace these children gain a two-fold power: the power to destroy di- visions among men, and the power to reconcile men to men and mankind to God. It is with this purpose-to lead souls to a closer union with God-to lead them to a true peace of heart-that we, the class of 1955, have chosen the Franciscan Pax et Bonam for our slogan or motto. Our lives and our good actions in the future must cry out with St. Francis- May the Lord give you peace! We have heard this cry often. For four years, it has re-echoed in the silent tasks of the good Fe- lician Sisters. Through their motherliness, their teaching, and their many sacrifices we have been given a living embodiment of the lesson of Pax et Bonum. It is this lesson more than any other, there- fore, that has been thoroughly cultivated in our minds and our hearts. The fields of action for spreading the message of Pax et Bonum are many-in the home, in the hospital, in the parish, and in the school. Wherever people gather together there will be a chance to bring someone closer to God. Yes, there will be a chance so often to give someone the sweetness of peace. In order to give this peace generously to others, however, we must possess it ourselves. It must con- tinuously pour into our hearts from a refreshing and inexhaustible source-it must come from the Eucharistic Heart of the Prince of Peace. In the Eucharist, jesus is the loving prisoner of the tabernacle. He is always present to hear and an- swer our prayers for peace. His love waits patiently to Hood our hearts with the sunlight of His goodness. He is always most anxious to enlighten our rela- tions towards Him, towards our fellow men, and towards ourselves. Yes, in the Eucharist, we find the grace that draws us away from discontent and leads us to peace. In the Eucharist, we also find the grace that gives us strength of body and courage of heart to sow this peace into the hearts of others. The amount of grace we receive from the Eucha- rist depends on our confidence and our love. We must believe that God wants to help us in our daily need. We must realize that He wants us to be happy and peaceful in doing our work. . . Whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all for the glory of God. C1 Corinthians, 10, 311 The gateway of -true peace which comes to us from the Eucharist is Mary, God's Mother and ours. She was first to carry Peace and Goodness Itself, in her womb and in her heart. She was the first apos- tle to give Him to others. That is why we must do as St. Francis did. We must cultivate the seed of devotion to Mary throughout the course of our en- tire life. It is Mary who taught St. Francis. It is Mary who can teach us the true spirit of Pax et Bonum in our relations to Her Son and to our fellow men. Mary spoke little during her life on earth. Her actions, however, spoke much. Her life was a true apostolate of Pax et Bonum. Wherever we are, whatever we do, through our actions, we exert a kind of influence on the people with whom we come in contact. If our actions do not conform with our speech, our efforts are use- less. In drawing souls to Christ, we must live by the principles we seek to instill into others. This is how Mary lived. This was her life--to carry and give peace and goodness. Where there is peace and goodness, there is al- ways joy. This joy-the joy of Pax et Bonum will perfect our life's work and make it truly more pleas- ing to God. Franciscan joy takes root in God, of God, and from God. It is one that radiates Christ and His peace in every possible way. It is not a joy that spells freedom from misfortune. No, Franciscan joy expresses itself wholeheartedly even amid trials and tribulations. It is a real joy of the spirit, a joy that our world of today still does not know. Franciscan joy reigns in the heart with the Holy Spirit. It reigns in the heart with God's peace. We receive the grace of this peace from living and doing things for God's glory, for our salvation. With a sincere effort and prayer, we may have possession of this spiritual joy and peace. We will, then, be able to assist the Franciscans and Felicians in sowing it through goodness into the hearts of others. Yes, we, the class of 1955, will endeavor to make the message of St. Francis heard again as we trod our paths of life. We will try to convince peo- ple that hearts at peace with God are the only real source of enduring individual and social happiness. The joy of Pax et Bonum is ours to have, to hold, to give. May we ever be true to its spirit-In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Lucy Szalankiewicz, '55 SISTER MARY VITERBIA, C.S.S.F.

IN GRADUATION GRANDEUR! 342 Q11-22115 To happily and usefully conclude the Marian Year . . . To this end, the Gloriously Reigning Pon- tiff, Pius XII, proclaimed the liturgical feast of the Queenship of Mary. The announcement of this new feast, which was made in St. Peter's Basilica on All Saints' Day, Novem- ber 1, 1954, immediately after the Holy Father had crowned the ancient and enshrined painting, Salus Populi Romani fSa1vation of the Roman Peoplej, was received with great rejoicing on the part of all Christen- dom. On this glorious occasion, His Holiness invoked Mary to exercise the fullness of her queenly reign over the hearts and minds of men through the special prayer which he had composed and which he recited. In his Encyclical, Ad Coeli Reginam , which the Pope had issued shortly before on October 11, the feast of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the new feast of the Queenship was instituted with May 31 desig- nated for its yearly observance. Thus, the ardent and deepening desire of Pius XII-that of seeing Mary honored with the special feast of her Queenship-be- came a reality. Several reasons for proclaiming the feast honoring Mary's Queenship were cited by the Holy Father. There is great confidence that the Church will derive in- numerable benefits through the merits of this special homage, if the faithful accept and consecrate them- selves to this hrmly established truth. The feast of Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, will perpetuate the mem- ory of the great milestone in the history of the Church, the Marian Year. Furthermore, the decreeing of this observance has fulfilled and satisfied the petitions of many people the world over who had requested and long awaited it. ln concluding, the Holy Father added: Great hope is reposed that in this deed, a new era may arise, nourished by Christian peace and the triumph of religion. That Mary is Queen has a profound and manifold significance. Mary presides over all the creatures of heaven and earth in the capacity of a Queen. Testimony of this truth has been given through the expression and tradition of Holy Mother the Church. Mary is Queen because she is the Mother of the Son of God, and the Son of God is King. Christ is the Blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. He is this because He is the Only-Be- gotten Son of God, who is the Creator and Lord of the Universe. Christ is King. Mary is the Mother of the King, Mary is Queen. Also because she is Co-Redemptrix, Mary is Queen. Through the Passion and Death on the Cross, Christ Lip War? redeemed mankind from the bondage of sin. By virtue of this conquest, He has acquired the title King. Mary had an active and integral part in this conquest. She shared in His love and determinations, she accom- panied Him along the sorrowful way of the Cross, and she participated in' the Crucifixion and in the Agony. Because Christ is the Redeemer of mankind He is King, because Mary is Co-Redemptrix she is Queen. Furthermore, Mary is Queen because she surpasses to an eminent degree every other creature in grace, privileges, and qualities. The heavenly messenger who greeted her with the salutation, Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women , gave evidence of her fullness of grace and her spiritual quality. God bestowed on Mary the honor of nine unique privileges. She is truly preeminent over all crea- tures, she is Queen. Finally, Mary is Queen by the universal and un- ending voice of the people. The faithful want her to be their Queen. No other woman on earth has been more celebrated, loved, venerated, or invoked. Mary has been the subject of the dedication of countless churches, chapels, and shrines. She has been the in- spiration of artists, poets, and musicians. She rules over the faithful as Queen by receiving their homage and by being ever ready to hear even the lowliest and most imperfect of their prayers. Mary has reigned over the hearts of men, Mary is truly Queen. This appeal to the reign of Mary, the proclama- tion of her Queenship, is the voice of Christian Faith and hope. May the magnitude of this celebration focus the eyes of the world on the shining and universal truth which will supply a remedy for its evils, deliver- ance from its anguish, and direction on the way of sal- vation. In accordance with the earnest exhortations and entreaties of the Holy Father, all Catholics must inten- sify their devotion to Mary, especially under the title of Queen, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Marv, the world will be blessed with peace and concord. The Class of 1955, because it has the especial privilege of being graduated during the year of the initial observance of the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, will ever pray, in communion with the Catholic world, honoring Mary, the Queen: Reign over our hearts that we may love only what you love. Reign over our minds that we may remain pure. Reign over our wills that we may live each day in accordance to the Divine Will.

It impels us to look back to see how far we have come, what achievements we have attained, what difiiculties we have encountered. When we look back on the one hundred years of service of the Felician Sisters the heroism of their spirit astounds and inspires us. The one hundred years reveal in- deed grave responsibilities, but side by side we vision years of unusual graces. For one hundred years they did their utmost to carry the unchanging principles of the Gospel of Christ to the changing condition of a modern world. We see them courageous and dar- ing, in the spirit of maternal tenderness, among the desolate masses of the poor, we see them bent over the sick in the homes, hospitals, sanatoria, clinicsg. we see them among the learned and the ignorant, among children and youth in orphanages, schools, and institutions. And we pause to contemplate. From whence comes this spirit? High thoughts alone do not lead to sacrifice. Neither does action alone, stripped of the spirit, give courage to leave the easy path and take the one to the heights. From whence then comes this spirit? The saintly Foundress, the Servant of God Mother Mary Angela ,bequeathed to her spiritual daughters a potential heritage: the torch of prayer and adoration, the soul of atonement, and the Heart of the Immaculate Mother of God. Prayer and adoration is the food of their souls. In prayer and adoration they seek guidance, strength, and inspiration. The Eucharistic King is the Way, the Truth, the Life. Through prayer and adoration they prepare their souls for atonement. Thus in all fields of work, they are able to transform their every act, of whatever importance, into an act of religion, an act of atonement for unfortunate mankind. With such a motive no type of work appears burdensome. This spirit of atonement makes of their sacrifices at work the seeds of a rich harvest of true Felician happiness. Finally, in their possession is the Heart of the Immaculate Mother of God. To that Immaculate Heart, they gave the royal mandate to supervise over them, over their ac- tions. Year after year, feast after feast, day after day, they seek the blessings of the Im- maculate Heart, and that heart blesses them with singular affection. The motto Omnia per Cor Mariae - All through the Immaculate Heart of Mary in honor of the Most Blessed Sacrament is the echo of their life. It directs their every movement, their every thought that their life of prayer and work is turned into a continual act of adora- tion and atonement. Through the power and love and affection of this Immaculate Heart, the Felician Sisters were able to carry this spirit of prayer and atonement into the reach of several generations. The centennial harvest year finds 4,531 Sisters at prayer and work in 17 Archdioceses and 16 dioceses in Poland, United States, Canada, and Brazil. AD MULTOS ANNOS! PER MULTOS ANNOS!

But, perhaps the greatest counterpart of the word Senior is responsibility. Responsibility is the creed, code, norm, and barometer of every Senior. During class hours and during the hours outside of class, the Senior feels the burden of her responsibility- usually arduous, sometimes pleasant, always merito- rious. In the Senior curriculum each and every course of study is justifiably due its necessary amount of re- sponsibility: attention to lectures, reading of ma- terial, compiling of outlines, completion of written assignments, preparation of recitations, review for examinations. Whether it be chemistry or transcrip- tion, English Literature or business law, the Senior has a responsibility to that subject-a responsibility of study and concentration. Outside of classwork, there are a hundred different channels into which the Senior's responsibility may be directed, Extra-curricular activities in all fields, in order to be successful, demand work. Work in- volves responsibility. Several students directed their talents of research, composition, and speech to the field of oratory. Their participation in the local and area divisions of the American Legion Oratorical Contest proved a credit to the Academy. Others directed their talents to the field of dra- matic art. The annual school play, a production of combined efforts, revealed the creative capacities of the students and the high standards of the school. journalism, with its varied types of work, has many devotees. The success of the bi-monthly school news- paper, The Angelite , is attributed to editors, re- porters, business managers, artists, and typists. The publication of the year book, The Angelican , an- nually demands of each Senior skills and pro- ficiences, perseverance and painstaking efforts. Countless other activities, which include prepar- ing programs, planning assemblies, arranging bulle- tins and displays, assisting at Guild affairs, perform- ing luncheonette duties, and participating in va- rious fund-raising projects, require many hours of work and much responsibility, particularly in the form of leadership. ourd of L Seniors: Dorothy Pawelska and Frances jan as, diligently at work, prove themselves tell able in assuming and executing a responsi bility.

The Senior also has the especial mission of guiding the underclassmen to a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Angelite . To the Senior is entrusted a responsi- bility of paramount importance, one that truly necessitates unceasing work, for her life, lived in nobility and humility, must unmistakably be the Angelite Life.

Through the untiring efforts of the Fe- lician Sisters, in the past century, God has reaped a plentiful harvest of souls. It is fitting and proper, therefore, that we, as graduates of this centennial year, de- velop our class history using wheat as the model of our growth since, we, too, some day hope to be included in God's plentiful harvest. THE SEEDING . . . September 4, 1951, marked an important milestone in our lives, for on this day we began our education at O.L.A. We could have been compared to grains of wheat, for as the grains are planted in the ground, the seeds of God's love and knowledge were now to be more deeply embedded into our hearts. From various parishes, from numerous towns, from different states, we entered the portals of O.L.A. Each one of us was anxious to acquire both a sound education and new friends, yet each one of us was hindered at first by that feminine element of shy- ness. It was not long however, when we were truly united. First we became one in and through prayer. Together with our upperclassmen we participated in the Red Mass. Together we asked the Holy Spirit to bless our efforts at O.L.A. Then we Freshies were united in another way-united in fear, embarrassment, and laughter. Before both the Faculty and entire student body we were initiated. Our sportsmanship was put to a test. This fertilized the seed of school spirit growing within us. As a result we were awarded our school uniforms and emblems which we wore with pride. The days passed quickly and the Christmas holidays with the joy and peace of the Christ Child were upon us. April found the Freshies enthu' siastic at the thought of planting their class tree. After numerous disaxssions and many plans, we decided upon the pink flowering chestnut which was planted amid much ceremony. With each passing day more wisdom was seeded into our minds and more virtues into our hearts. The warm spring air soon found us ab- sorbed in our books reviewing for final examinations. The seeding was completed. Now we were ready for sprouting, and this, with the guidance of our Faculty, would help us develop further in age, in wisdom, and in grace. THE SPROUTING . . . The warmth of summer passed swiftly. The September air once again found us working together, playing together, and praying together at dear O.L.A. As the warm sun and refreshing rain strengthens the sprouting plants, we, too, nourished by the kind advice and gentle understanding of the Faculty, progressed in our spiritual and intellectual growth. Caught by Caesar's Army in a whirl of geometric designs and typewriter keys, our Sophomore year left us with lasting impressions. The joyous season of Christmas filled our minds and hearts with a true happiness, as in a Merry Rush we planned and prepared for the annual Christmas party. Merry Rush was the theme of our Christmas Assembly Program. Club activities, daily assignments, and new responsibilities filled each passing day with joy that sprouted, a joy that became more fruitful because it was the result of hard work that was occasionally sprinkled with tears. Through all these tasks we endeavored to remain close to the Light of the Divine Son and the warm love of our Heavenly Mother, and felt that we were finally sprouting as true and loyal Angelites. LABOR . . . The third year necessitated much labor and preparation. As fields of wheat are carefully weeded and prepared, our minds, our hearts, our souls were more deeply instilled with Christian ideals. This was the great Marian Year and we became more closely united with our Blessed Mother. Our every deed was performed be- neath her Mantle of Blue. With much happiness we welcomed our new exchange student, Eva Kirch, from Germany. For the first time, as upperclassmen, we worked together, making arrangements for the traditional Get Acquainted Party. Our hearts were filled with gladness when in commemoration of the Marian Year the Oratory was opened. The beautiful statue of Our Lady stirred our hearts to frequent prayer. This year also marked the dedication of a new statue on our campus. St. Bernadette was placed before the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. We received our class rings during May -- the month of Our Mother. The blue in the ring will serve as a constant reminder of our Mother's loving care. We were happy, too, when comprehensives were successfully passed, yet sadness iilled our hearts at the thought of the following year without our dear classmate-Joyce Sullivan who was transplanted to Florida. A year of earnest labor was com- pleted. One thing remained for us to wonder-what would the harvest bring. With this thought in mind we closed our junior Year. HARVEST... The dawn of the Harvest arrived bringing with it a share of laughter and tears, joy and sorrow, hopes and anxieties. This year had a special meaning for us. It marked the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Felician Sis- ters who for four years had unselfishly devoted themselves to our education. They nursed us as seeds, aided our sprouting, and at last stood by to insure the harvest. We rejoiced with the Good Sisters as we watched the progress of the new mother- house. Each month the Angelites tried, in some small way, to show their apprecia- tion to the Sisters. On the twenty-first of each month we commemorated the centennial through a special assembly. During the year of the Harvest our activi- ties were numerous and varied. Our school play was eagerly awaited and many pleasant rehearsals were devoted to the preparation of Catherine the Valiant. After many plans and much anticipation the day on which we boarded the train for our class trip arrived-destination, Washington. At our nation's Capitol we spent an enjoyable week, sightseeing, meeting new friends, and learning many things. Although in our hearts Mary always reigned as Queen, we rejoiced with the Church when Our Holy Father instituted the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, proclaiming Our Blessed Mother as Queen of Heaven and Earth. The reap- ing time was quickly approaching, bringing with it much preparation and work. It seemed appropriate that at this time we acknowledge our appreciation to our Faculty, whose patience and understanding were a constant inspiration during our years at O.L.A. Faculty Day presented us with an opportunity to express this gratitude. Amid tears and farewells, we participated in our Class Night, promis- ing ourselves never to forget the wonderful years at the Academy. The day of the harvesting arrived-Graduation Day. Our diplomas were a reminder of the ideals of Mary which had been instilled into our minds through the past four years. Together as a class for the last time, we participated in the Graduation Mass and received Christ into our hearts, grateful for a bountiful harvest. With the Bread of Life and the Pax et Bonum in our hearts we go forward to take our places in life. Frances Rybczyk '55 Mary Esther Fahey '55 If I g,We:fwH -1 w f ff ' 4 U Q igr?

Prze- peiniona wdzigcznoscia ku Bogu za Jego nieskoriczonq dobroi, od miodosci kieruje calq swojq energig, wszystkie swe sily na jego uslugi. Oddana w radosnej pracy, w gorliwej modlitwie i w uczciwej nauce, zostaje przewspanialym wzorem dla kazdej Internatki. Matka Maria Angela kochala modlitwg. Rozumiala, ie w tym slowie mieszcza sig najwigksze sptawy serca i duszy. Modlitwa serdeczna jest to poufna rozmowa serca ludz- kiego z Sercem najlepszego Boga. Modlitwa dla niej byia cichutkq opowiesciq kochanemu Bogu Ojcu w niebie-o swoich radosciach, smutkach, pracach, zabawach, cierpieniach, krzywdach, o winach i dobrym zyciu. Rozumiala, ze aby dobtze i czysto iyi, trzeba sig modlif. Matka Maria Angela miala wyjqtkowe nabozefistwo do Niepokalanego Serca i na wior tego Serca Bozej Matki spgdzala wiele swego czasu przed tronem Euchatystycznego Chrystusa. Tam jej gigboka dusza modlitewna czerpala wigcej dobroci, a p6iniej przele- wala tg dobrof na ubogich, chorych, ngdznych, nieswiadomych-na kazdego, kto jej do- broci poiqdal. Tu przed Przenajswigtszym Sakramentem poswigcila sig caikowicie jesusowi przez Niepokalane Serce i ulozyla to przepigkne haslo Wszystko przez Serce Maryi na czesf Przenajswigtszego Sakramentu. Codzienne Wystawienie Przenajswigtszego Sakramentu to owoc zycia modlitwy i oiiary Siugi Bozej Matki Angeli. Ten sam jezus Eucharystyczny wyczekuje codziennie na obecnosi Internatki jak niegdys na Zofig Truszkowska, dzisiejszq Slugg Boiq. Dobry B6g hojnie obdarzyl Zoiig bystrym umyslem, a ona zas jako pilna studentka chgtnie mozolila sig, aby posiew Pafiski wschodzil i r6sl, zakwitai, owoc dal, mno- zyi sig i przelewal sig na drugich. Zrozumiala bowiem slowa Ewangelii Sw., ze kto wiele otrzymai, od tego wiele tez zqdai bgdq. Zdolna byla i odczuwala odpowiedzialnosi za otrzymane skarby. Czuia sig dluiniczka Boga, rodziny i spoleczefistwa. Kochala naukg-bo nauka rozjasnia umysl, urabia dobre serce i zachgca do uczciwego zycia. Uczyla sig pilnie, a tym niosla chwalg Panu Bogu, radosi rodzicom, a nauczycielom zadowolenie. W nauce czynila wielkie postgpy. Zawsze otrzymywala pierwsze stopnie. W jej sercu nie byio miejsca na wywyzszenie sig, bo to serce przepelnione bylo wspdiczuciem dla biednych i ubogich. Zawsze z wielkq troskq czuwala nad innymi, a W wolnych chwilach uczyla mlodsze rodzeristwo. Internatka takze spgdza swoje cztery lata na nauce. Nauka dla niej jest droga do wielkich tajemnic' Bozych. Otwiera cudowny swiat, a w tym swiecie Intematka poznajc wielkie zniwo Boie i nieskoriczonq milosf Stworzyciela. Internatka idaca sladami Slugi Bozej Matki Marii Angeli musi kochaf naukg i uczyi sig pilnie. Musi spelniai obowiqzki szkolne sumiennie. Aby innym p6iniej mogla niesi wiedzg, sama musi pierw ja posiadacf. Szkola dla niej staje sig po domu rodzinnym najmilszym domem, bo tam poznaje Boga i Jego wielkie arcydzielo-czlowieka, dla kt6rego zbawienia bgdzie pracowala. Matka Angela kochala tez i pracg i zajgcia domowe. Mi!os6 pracy i zajgf sprawila to, ze byla wszystkim dla wszystkich. Pomimo szybkich postgp6w i pigknych talent6w serce miala otwarte dla wszelkiego dobra i okazywala chgi poswigcenia sig dla bliinich. juz od mlodych lat ukochaia bied- nych i opuszczonych i postanowila w Imig Jezusa oiiarowai sig dla nich. Miala pod swoim dozorem ubogich, nawiedzaia ich, opiekowala sig chorymi i wychowywala dzieci, kt6re byly w ostatnim zaniedbaniu. Wkr6tce, moina powiedzieei, praktykowala wszystkie uczynki milosierdzia. Aby is6 sladami Siugi Bozej, Intematka musi tez pokochai pracg i zajgcia i byf wszystkim dla tych, kt6re z niq obcujg. Tylko w zapomnieniu o sobie, znajdzie Internatka radosf i pok6j. Najpierw Intematka musi sig staraf o sumiennosi w malych rzeczach, aby w przy- szlosci mogla podjqf sig wigkszych spraw i poucza6 innych. Intematka nie ma racji wstydzii sig pracy, bo sama praca, jeieli spelniona z gorli- wosciq i milosciq dla Boga, moze doprowadzii ja do swigtosci, do jakiej doszla nasza Siuga Boza Matka Maria Angela.

Stworzyles nas, o Boze, dla Siebie samego. Upodobniles nas Sobie i niespokojne jest serce nasze, poki nie odpocznie w Tobie. Trefi Dramalu Akt I: W Tagascie fpoinocnej Afrycej Sw. Monika, znakomita chrzescijanka, oczekuje przyjazdu znakomitego syna Augustyna. W Ta- gasiie jest wielkie poruszenie, albowiem Augustyn znany jest w calym swiecie ze swej wymowy ale znany :ez jest matce z swych licznych wad i niewiary. Po powitaniu Monika wzywa go do powrotu na dobra droge, a gdy sie upiera przy swym bigdnym przekonaniu, Matka zagraza mu wydaleniem z domu rodzinnego. Akt II: Augusryn postanawia wyjechaf z przyjacioimi do Rzymu, bo pragnie szerszego pola do dzialania. Gdy chce juz odjezdzaf, nie zegnajac sie z matka, by jej nie stroskaf, spotyka sie z Monika krora prosi, aby ja zabral ze soba. Augustyn wobec tego oswiadczajac, ze nie pojedzie wcale, odsyia matke do pobliskiej kaplicy, a sam tajemnie od- jezclza. Dowieclziawszy sie o tym, Monika postanawia jechai za Au- gustynem, z Nawigiuszem i corka Teresyllq. Akt III: Augustyn w Rzymie, zgnebiony zawodem, rrawiony cho- roba i wyrzutami sumienia bliski jest smierci, lecz zjawia sie marka, uspakaja go, koi cierpienia duszy i ciala i krzepi nadzieja uleczenia i nawrocenia. Monika przybywa do Biskupa Mediolanskiego, Sw. Am- rozego, z prosba o pomoc w nawroceniu Augustyna. Akt IV: Rozrerki duchowe Augustyna dochodzq do szczyru, i zdawna dumionym pragnieniem wraca do Chrystusa. Jego moc i opiekuncza modlitwa Matki przepedza ponety i pokusy zyciowe a wreszcie dokonuje dziella. Pachole fjezusj, ktore podaje Augustynowi listy Sw, Pawla.

Aglae, wierna siuga, CSabina KJ przypa- rruje sie Monice, gdy sie dowiaduje, ze Augusryn rajemnie odjechal i wzmacnia ja na duchu serdecznym wspolczuciem i mod- litwa. W SETNA ROCZNICE ZGONU WIESZCZA POLSKIEGO R6Wne sto lar temu umarl Adam Mickiewicz, jeden z najwigkszych ludzi, jakich dorychczas Wydala Slowiafmszczyzna. Umarl zdala od Ojczyzny, na ziemi obcej, prawie u granic Rzeczypospolitej. Na Litwie, gdzie sig urodzil W r. 1794, W Wiosce Zaosiu pod NoWogr6dkiem, uplynglo jego dziecifxsrwo sielskie, anielskief' W dziecifistwie cigzko zachorowal. Jego pobozna marka oliarowala go Wtedy Matce Boskiej, proszac o zdrowie dla chorego dziecka. I Matka Najswigtsza Wysluchala goracej modlitwy matki, i stal sig Wielki cud. Prawie juz niezywy synek odzyskal nagle zdrowie. P6iniej napisal o tym cudzie W najpigkniej- szym swym utworze-Puma Tademzu. Poniewaz Adam Mickiewicz byl bardzo pilnym chlopcem, a Wigc uczyl sig najpierw W swym rodzirmym miescie u Ojc6W Dominikan6W, a p6zniej W Wilnie. juz Wtedy ukladal mniejsze Wiersze. Po ukorisczeniu szkdl' elementarnych W swym roclzirmym miescie, udal sig na uniwersytet do Wilna W r. 1815. Liczac zaledwie siedemnasty rok zycia, poswigcil sig filozofii, literaturze i sztukom pigknym. Za inicjatywq Tomasza Zana zawiazaly sig W Wilnie naukowe k6lka mlodziezy akademickiej: Filomat6w i Filaret6W, kt6ryCh dusza byl Adam Mickiewicz. Byly to zwiazki mlodzieiy, W pracy i nauce widzacej odrodzenie sig Polski, kochajacej Wiarg sw. i Ojczyzng, gotowej za te skarby najdrozsze dla Polaka oddae zycie swoje. Ukoficzywszy W r. 1819 studia uniwersyteckie, przyjal Adam Mickiewicz posadg nauczyciela przy gimnazjum W Kownie. Tu Wsr6d samotnygh dumari nastal czas tW6rczo5ci poety, do czego przyczynila sig niemalo nieszczgsliwa miloscf jego do Marii Wereszczak6Wnej, siostxy Michala Wereszczaka, kt6rego poeta juz W NoWogr6dku ser- cleczrlie polubil. W Kownie napisal pierwsze sWoje Wazniejsze utwory. P6iniej opuscil Kowno i udal sig do Wilna, by polaczyci sie z ukochanymi przyjacicilmi. W roku 1829 wyjechal zagranicg. Kochal ojczyzrig swoja i tgsknil za nia tgsknota nieopisana. Jednak do swej ojczyzny nie m6gl Wr6ci6 i zostal z niej Wygnany na zawsze. On, czlowiek Wolny W duchu i stworzony do Wolnosci, umarl, majac przed oczyma niewolg, kt6rej wysilkiem calego zycia zdjae z ziemi swojej nie zdolal. Pisze - Jestem czlowiek - i tam na ziemi me cialo . . . Kochalem ram - W ojczyznie serce me zostalo . . Charakter jego mgski, oparty na Woli, dazacy do opanowania, nie znosil dyshar- monii, rozbicia. Mickiewicz byl natura typu inspiracyjnego, tworzyl pod Wplywem Wybuchowego natchnierxia i dazyl do rego, by zycie oprzee na natchnieniu. jgzyk jego jest jasny i ta- jemniczy zarazem, bo natchniony i opanowany, z glgbin idzie i, glgbig majqc W sobie szuka sloflca. Nigdy on prawie nie pisze, zawsze m6Wi, calym soba. W tym lezy zdrowie jego stylu. Kazdy jego Wyraz budzi Wiargg nie ma W nim nic fantasrycznego, mc pozyczonego, bo nie fantazja go rodzi, tylko duch. W roku 1855 Mickiewicz Wyjechal W sprawach politycznych do Konstantynopola. Tam Wkr6tce zachorowal i 26 listopada oddal Bogu ducha daleko od Ojczyzny. Uderza nas czesi Mickiewicza dla Matki Najswietszej. Ta czesf uwydatnia sie W ciqgu r6znych okres6W jego zycia, W kt6rym odr6zni6 mozna r6zne fazy czyli stopnie, sposoby przedstawienia Najswigtszej Panny, odpowiadajace tym okresom prad6W i uczue, jakie przepelrxialy dusze poery. Do pierwszej fazy nalezy Hymn na dzieri Zwiax- lowania. Najswigrsza Maryja Panna W tym hymnie pojgta i przedsrawiona jest jako pigknose dziewicza. W Wierszu Do Matki Polki Najswigtsza Maryja Panna, jako Matka Bolesna, jest Wzorem cierpienia, na kt6ry matka Polka zapatrywae sig powinna. W Dziadacla, jednym z najpigkniejszych dziel Mickiewicza, Wystgpuje Najswigtcza Parma nie tylko jako pocieszycielka i opiekunka, ale i jako Kr6loWa kWiat6W. W jednej czgsci tego utworu poeta przedstawia prezesliczny obrazek, jak mloda dziewczyna Ewa modli sig przed obrazem Najswigtszej Panienki za przesladowanymi. W tym pigknym obrazie Wysrgpuje Najswigtsza Parma juz nie rylko jako rodzica i piastunka Boskiego Dziecigcia, ale i jako czula i kochajaca matka cierpiacej ludzkosii. Wog6le kult Mickie- Wicza dla Najswietszej Panny ma ogromne znaczenie pod Wzglgdem etycznym czyli moralnym. Rozlewa on W swej poezji i W calej Wsp6lczesnej literarurze polskiej, W Mickiewicza zapatrzonej, tg czystose i swiezose moralna, kt6ra jest podstawa zdrowego zycia rodzinnego, a bez kt6rej nie ma szczgsliwej przyslosci narodu. Frania Janas '55 MARYJA KROLOWPE SERC Kosci61 Swigty obchodzi przesliczne swigta na czesf Matki Najswigtszej. Kazde swigto w pewien spos6b poucza nas coraz wigcej o naszej Matce Najswigtszej i daje nam sposobnose okazania jej naszej milosci. W tym roku Ojciec Swigty Pius XII dodal nowe swigto, kt6re wieticzy wszystkie inne, mianowicie Swigto Kr61owej Nieba i Ziemi. W encyklice Ad Coeli Reginam , Pius XII wzywa Maryjg, aby kr6lowala nad sercarni i umysiami czlowieka. Mozemy siusznie oglosie Maryjg nie tylko Kr61owa, Nieba i Ziemi, ale Kr6lowq Wszystkich Serc. Zadria kr61owa ani cesarzowa nie zdobyla tyle serc ile nasza Kr61owa Nieba i Ziemi, Maryja. Mafyja jen Kr6lowq .rerc matek naszych. Matka! Najmilsza ,osoba na ziemi. Matka! Kr61owa, pani i siuzebnica dziecka. Wszystko, co jest najdrozsze, najukochafisze, najcu- downiejsze na ziemi, zawiera w sobie slowo: matka! Od kolebki, od tych nocy nieprzes- panych, od tych nocy spgdzonych nad l6zeczkiem dziecka w lgku, we lzach w przerazeniu o zycie dziecka, zaczyna sig kr61estwo matki, zaczyna sig jej siodka, milosna niewola. Matka, to miiosi, ofiara, poswigcenie i zycie dziecka. Skad ta sila? Skqd zrcidio tej milosci? . . . Z Chrzcielnicy Niepokalanego Serca Maryi. Matka Niebieska Maryja panuje nad ser- cem naszej ziemskiej matki i wlewa w jej serce silg i milose potrzebna do wypelnienia obowiqzku wychowania dziatek dla chwaiy jej Syna. Maryja jest prawdziwie Kr6lowa serc matek. Mafyja jest Krdlowg .rerc ojcdw naszych. Wyrywa sig z serc naszych slodkie, mocne i wierne slowo, ojciec. Ojciec - to ten mocny, dobrotliwy, usmiechnigty cziowiek, krcirego dzieci tak bardzo kochaja, szanuja i sluchaja. Ojciec chodzi do pracy codziennie, by nie zabraklo dzieciom chleba, by w domu byla wygoda i spok6j. Chociaz ojciec pracuje w pocie czola, nie odm6wi dziecku grosza, ale da mu wszystko, co serduszko pragnie, aby bylo wesole i niewinne. Ojciec strzeie dzieci przed wszystkim, co by im szkodzie mogio. Nieraz musi karat? dziecko za nieposiuszefnstwo - ale karze nie jako wi-6g - lecz jako dobry, kochajacy ojciec, kt6ry wie, co dziecku trzeba, aby ratowae jego pigkne zycie, jego dobre serce i niesmiertelnq dusze. Skad ta sila? Skqd ta moc? Wspomnijmy sobie 0 domku Nazareckim. Swigty j6zef jednym spojrzeniem na Maryjg jest wzmocniony do wypelniania doskonale obowiazku. Tak tei jak Maryja panowala nad sercem Swigtego j6zefa w Nazarecie, teraz panuje nad sercami naszych ojc6w. jej jedno pragnienie jest, aby ojcowie szli w slady Swigtego J6zefa, wigc jako kochajaca Kr6lowa, Maryja bierze ojc6w pod Swa macierzyriska opiekg, poniewaz Maryja jest Kr6lowa serc ojc6w naszych. Mafyja jen Krdlowq .refce naszych braci i :i6Jtr. Brat...siostra...ile radosci te slowa przynosza naszym sercom. W dobrym katolickim domu ile milosci okazuje brat i siostra jeden drugiemu. Brat jest peien szacunku, milosci i wyrozumienia wzglgdem siostry. Pomaga jej na kazdym kroku i w kazdej wigkszej trudnosci. Siostra nawzajem okazuje milosf i szacunek bratu. Zachgca do dobrego, pociesza go w smutkach i razem z nim sig weseli. -Rodzicom zas tak brat jak i siostra sa radoscia i duma. Skadze ta milose? ten szacunek? Czyz nie przypomina nam sig Nazaret? W Nazarecie Najswigtsza Rodzina zyla w zgodzie i milosci. Niepokalane Serce Maryi to ircidlo, z kt6rego nasi bracia i siostry czerpia, miiosoi i dobroe. Zaiste, Maryja jest Krcilowa serc naszych braci i si6str. Maryja jest Kr6lowq :erm kaidej Inzernatki. Serce kazdego dziecka nalezy do matki. Maryja jest Matka calej ludzkosci. Zatem, serce kazdej Internatki nalezy do Maryi. Powolaniem Internatki jest p6jscie w slady Maryi, sladem, jej milosci i oflary. jednym pragnieniem Internatki jest to, ze chce kochae i kocha wszystko, co dobre i pigkne. Przeczysta miloscia kocha wszystkich ludzi, ale najwigksza miloscia kocha Niepokalane Serce Maryi. Ze ir6dia tego Serca czerpie umiejgrnose do wykonania swoich przepis6w. Przez jej codzienne medytacje i obowiazki duchowne, Internatka uczy sig w duchu Maryi pracowae, bawicf sig, cierpiee i weselie sig. Codziennie wszystkie swe prace, mod- litwy i r6zne akty kiadzie do skarbca Niepokalanego Serca z ta modlitwa: O Marko nasza! strzez skarbu serc naszych. A Maryja kieruje sercem kaidej Internatki, aby rozk- witlo w niewinnosci i pokorze, aby bylo godne mice Pana jezusa za Oblubietica, bo Maryja jest Ktolowa serc Internatek. Genia Rutkowska '55 wx .

Reign over the Church, which acknowledges and ex- tols your gentle dominion and has recourse to you as a safe refuge amid the calamities of our day. Reign especially over that part of the Church which is persecuted and oppressed, give it strength to bear adversity, constancy never to yield under unjust compulsion, light to avoid falling into enemy snares, firmness to resist overt attack, and at every moment unwavering faithfulness to your kingdom. Reign over rnenir minds, that they may seek only what is true, over their wills that they may follow solely what is good, over their hearts that they may love nothing but what you yourself love. Reign over individual: and over families, as well as over societies and nations, over the assemblies of the powerful, the counsels of the wise, as over the simple aspirations of the humble. Obtain for us that all who now, in every corner of the world, acclaim and hail you Queen and Mistress, may one day in heaven enjoy the fullness of your kingdom in the vision of your Divine Son, Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost, lives and reigns forever and ever.
