SF 36 SF XVC, the Senior Class of 1950, dedicate this seventeenth issue of the Paulist to His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, as a token of our great happiness and sincere gratitude for his proclaming this year another Holy Year in which, by prayer and good works, men may plead with the Heavenly Father for mercy in these troubled times. SF it as rayer or ries is NV e pray thee, O Lord .Iesus Christ, to shower Thy most abundant and precious graces on the Priests of Thy Holy Church, who are Thy dearest servants, the dispensers of Thy celestial graces, the fathers of our souls: that they, being more and more intimately united to Thee, may obtain from Thy bounty the grace to confirm our faith, to strengthen our hope, to increase our charity, and to make us detest our sins with more lively sorrow, through our Lord jesus Christ. Amen. 4

Heavenly Father, Thou who seest all things, who searchest and dost guide the hearts of men, make them responsive, in this time of grace and salvation, to the voice of thy Son. May the Holy Year be for all men a year of purification and sanctificationg of interior life and reparation, the year of the great return and of the great pardon. llestow on those who are suffering persecution for the Faith thy spirit of fortitude, to unite them inseparably with Christ and his Church. Protect, G Lord, the Vicar of thy Son on earth together with all bishops, priests, Religious and all the Faithful. Vouchsafe that all, both priests and laity, the young, the mature and the old, united intimately in thought and affection, may become as a solid rock, against which the fury of thy enemies will break in vain. May thy grace enkindle in all men love for the many unfortunate people whom poverty and misery reduce to a condition of life unworthy of human beings. Arouse in the hearts of those who call Thee Father a hunger and thirst for social justice and for fraternal charity in deeds and in truth. Grant, O Lord, peace in our days - peace to souls, peace to families, peace to our country, peace among nations. May the rainbow of peace cover, with the sweep of its serene light, the land sanctified by the life and passion of thy Divine Son. God of all consolation! Deep is our misery, grave are our faults, countless our needs. But greater still is our trust in Thee. Conscious of our unworthiness, we lovingly place our lot in thy hands, uniting our weak prayers to the inter- cession and the merits of the most glorious Virgin Mary and all the saints. Grant to the sick, resignation and health, to young men, the strength that is born of faith, to young girls, the gift of purity, to fathers, prosperity and holiness for their families: to mothers, success in their mission of rearing their children? to orphans, affectionate protection: to the refugees and prisoners, their father- land: and to all men thy grace, in preparation and in pledge of the unending happiness of heaven. Amen. PIUS PP. Xll. Our Holy Father has written this special prayer for the Holy Year and attached both partial and plenary indulgences to it. There is a partial indulgence of seven years for each recitation, and a plenary indulgence if it is said on thirty consecutive days. Thus, the plenary indulgence can be gained as often as twelve times during the year by reciting the prayer on thirty consecutive days each time. il .7 41- 4, f 1- 41 6
