ns The Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary re associated together in the great work of aving souls. Jesus asked Margaret Mary to make repara- tion for the sins of the world. At Fatima, Our Blessed Mother asked the three children for reparation and she promised that if we do “penance, Russia will be saved and there will be world peace. We also must repair the damages done by sin, our own and that of the world, by the “sinlessness of our own lives and the faithful fulfillment of the duties of our state of life. “Lady of Fatima” was the all-school play presented in our auditorium on the evenings of November 21 and 22, 1955. Class of ‘57 whose names appeared in the cast were: Carroll Trudell Norman Miller - Audrey Maston Paul Reddy Rosemary Scott Philip Reddy The three children to whom Our Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima: Lucia, Carroll Tru- dell; Jacinta, Elaine Benjamin; Francisco, William Flynn.

1856—CENTENARY of the FEAST of the SACRED HEART—1956 The love of Christ for us is symbolized by His Sacred Heart. In the outstretched arms of Christ we see in Him one who loves us with a great love and wants us to come to Him and love Him as a child clings to its father in trustful love. Three hundred years ago, Jansenism taught that God was to be feared rather than loved, even in the Sacrament of His love. It was then that Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary to tell His children not to fear but to come to Him in love. Today world conditions are such that we need this devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as we never needed it before. Today there is a growing fear in the hearts of many men, not of God, but of one another. For us Catholics there is great need for united action in making reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which still con- tinues to love us in spite of our sinfulness, coldness, and indifference toward Him. = |
