God disclosed His all-loving Heart to Saint Margaret Mary and placed on her shoulder the tremendous responsibility of propa- gating a devotion to His Most Sacred Heart. 'Here in this Seminary we try to fulfill our re- sponsibility to the Heart which has loved us so much by our participation in the activities sponsored by the Apostleship of Prayer. 'The unique feature of this pious association is that all its activities are on the spiritual plane. Uinder the inspira'ion and guidance of the Rever- end J. Cletus Hermann, O:.S.C., the promoters have enlisted the entire student body as third degree Apostles, which means that every day, each week, a group of them receive Holy Com- munion in reparation for sins committed against Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. In addition to this, Father Director and the Promoters meet monthly to discuss the intention of the month. Holy Hours are conducted in honor of the Sacred Heart on the First Fridays. 'The Lady of the .Lake Seminary Chapter, in order to make this year a. real Holy Year, has also promised to offer a daily rosary and one extra ,Holy Communion of Reparation for the general and particular intentions of Pope Pius XII.
