'I 1 if ' ,, 4 . , glizzntzltii 'r 5. .H vi DIOGESE OF GALVBSTON CHANCERY OFFICE GALVESTON, TEXAS January 27, 1942 My dear young ladies: The aversion to words ending in ism', comes, in our day, largely from Communism, and the evil it has wrought in so many places of the world. But, Patriotism, and Catholicism, while carrying the odious three-letter ending, bear in themselves no danger. The one is for the welfare of the Country, the other for the greatness and goodness of a Revealing God and Saviour, Who gave us a new Gospel, and with it, His most cherished earthly possession, -His Holy Mother. On Calvary the rights of man, and the dignity of God were both out- raged in the Person of the Crucified Saviour, by men who seized a power and authority not their own. The one great person in that whole drab scene was Mary, Mother of Christ, our Queen of Peace, standing majestically and calmly, where all the brutal passions of meh had been unleashed. The confusion of Calvary is spread over, nigh, the whole earth today, and we will do well to call to our Queen of Peace to stand now, as she stood on Calvary long ago. Your Rosary crusade will call her, she will heed, she will come. The Herods and Pilates, of our day, will die. It is finished,', will be spoken of war. Dead Peace will rise. And, Patriotism and Catholicism will once more grow in wisdom and age and grace before God and men,', the woman who stood, Our Queen of Peace pre- vailing, through her quiet Do whatever He tells you. Yours faithfully in Christ, I Bisho of Galveston OUR ROSARY CRUSADE In December of 1941 shortly after war was declared, some of the Seniors inspired and arranged for the girls to go to chapel each day at twelve-thirty to say a Rosary for peace. Their idea was eagerly adopted by the Eucharistic Committee of the Sodality and even more eagerly by the girls themselves. This practice was brought to the attention of our Bishop and he wrote to our Principal, Sister Perpetua, as follows: Have your President of the Senior Class write a little note to different high schools in the Diocese, and ask the classes of all these schools, to give up a little of their recreation, either at noon, or before they go home in the evening, to go to their Chapel, or Churches, and say the Rosary for Peace. We promptly sent these letters and have received replies saying they have joined the Crusade. The Crusade is our way of doing a bit for our Country. Our Lady Queen of Peace, pray for ns. Our Laffy of Vicfory, pray for 11s.
