And on that day which most certainly will come for all of us when we stand before our Creator to hear His final judgment, how com- forting will be the words, should He say- 0h yes, My Mother spoke to Me about you.

On the eighth of December 18511, Pope Pius lX solemnly pro claimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the Mother of God. Less than four years later. the Blessed Virgin herself in a series of eighteen apparitions, confirmed Her new title to Berna- dette Soubirous near the town of Lourdes. Her words of confirmation were simple, as they should be, coming from the Mother of the Man who spoke in a simple, universal tongue. I am the Immaculate Conception. With the passing of years. man has tended to identify himself ever more closely with a world of increasingly mechanized cultures. The economic, political and social aspects of any civilization are interdependent, and therefore inseparable. So then, as the pace of our economies has quickened, so too has the pace in the social and political arenas. Mechanization and speed have bred materialism, and at the same time have tended to relegate God to a position of comparative un- importance in a world where only the practical merits concern. God is both the Giver and Taker of life. Indeed, therefore, He is Life itself. ci ,. .5-.fv-' 3-0 -S'6'J'-I'-flf' 9 f .f.z'J.f1--f '- fl r W o H 'I 57
