A GRADUATE,S PRAYER Now all this array of priceless educational treasures which we have barely touched upon, is so truly a property of the Church as to form her very substance, since she is the mystical body of Christ, the immaculate spouse of Christ, and consequently a most admirf able mother and an incomparable and perfect teacher. This thought inspired St. Augustine, the great genius, with accents of tenderest love for so glorious aA mother. Let us then raise our hands and our hearts in supplication to heaven, to the Shepherd and Bishop of OUR Souls, to the divine King who gives laws to rulers that in His almighty power He may cause these splendid fruits of Christian education to be gather' ed in ever greater abundance in the whole world, for the lasting beneft of individuals and of nations. 42

Our Patrons Enthroncment TFTP CATHOLICS who love and honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus have been promised numerous graces and special blessings. In private revelations to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun, the Sacred Heart made known his desire that his Heart be venerated. The promises are as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 S 9 FIRST FRIDAY IT HAS always been the cus' tom at Saint Michael's High for the entire student body to receive Holy Communion with the intention of reparation on the First Friday of each month. Under the guidance of their C. C. A. moderator, Sister Mary De Sales, the Seniors are making a special effort to be an inspiration and an exam' ple to their underclassmen in meriting the graces offered in the twelfth promise of the Sacred Heart. I will give them all graces necessary for them in their state of life. I will establish peace in their families. I will console them in all their afilictions. I will be their assured refuge during life and above all at the hour of their death. I will bestow abundant benediction upon all their under' takings. Sinners shall tind in my heart the source and ocean of infinite mercy. Tepid souls shall become fervent. Fervent souls shall advance with rapidity to the highest perfection. I WILL BLESS THE HOUSES IN WHICH THE PICTURE OF MY SACRED HEART SHALL BE EXPOSED TO VIEW AND HONORED. Priests shall receive the gift of touching the hardest hearts. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in my Sacred Heart never to be blotted out. I PROMISE TO ALL THOSE PERSONS WHO SHALL COMMUNICATE ON THE FIRST FRIDAY OF NINE MONTHS IN SUCCESSION, THE GRACE OF FINAL PERSEVERANCE AND MY HEART SHALL BE THEIR ASYLUM AND THEIR REFUGE AT THE LAST MOMENT OF THEIR LIFE.
