OUR HOLY FATHER, HIS HOLINESS, POPE HIS HOLINESS, POPE PIUS XII In the spirit of the Divine Master, Pope Pius XI, prede- cessor of our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, has directed a help- ful word, now of admonition, now of exhortation, now of direction, to youths and their educators, tc fathers and mothers, on various points of Christian education, with the solicitude which becomes the common Father of all the faithful, since education consists essentially in preparing man for what he must do here below, in order to attain the sublime end for which he was created, it is clear that there can be no true education which is not wholly directed to man's last end, and that in the present order of Providence, since God has revealed Himself to us in the Person of His Cnly Begotten Son, who alone is 'fthe way, the truth, and the life there can be no ideally perfect education which is not Christian education. fCon't on p. 77 OUR HOLY FATHER, POPE PIUS XII AT PRAYER 6 PROOF OF POPE The long-awaited decree which brought joy to the hearts of all Catholics is the Restored Order of Holy Week, promulgated by the Apostolic See on November I6, 1955.

PIUS XII ff GOD'S PROVIDENCE PIUS XII The services of l-loly Vvleek are now more in keeping with our times as well as the times of Our Lord, They give the worshipper a greater sense of unity with the ori- ginal events of the most sacred wesk in Christendom through identity with the present commemorations. The entire observance of Holy Vfeek will be more genuine and sincere. more vivid and clear to each fol- lower of Christ. For this we see the supreme importance of Christian ed- ucation. not merely for each individual. but for families and for the whole society. whose perfection comes from the per- fection of the elements that compose it. From these principles. the excellence. we may well call it the unsurpassed excellence, of the work of Christian education becomes manifest and clear, for after all it aims at securing the Supreme Ciood, that is God, for the souls of those who are being educated. and the maximum of well-being possible here below for human society, And this it does as efficaciously as man is capable of doing it, mainly. by cooperating with God in the perfecting of individuals and of society. inasmuch as the education of youth makes on the soul the first. most powerful and lasting impression for life. ---Encyclical on Christian Education of Youth HOLY FATHER ACCEPTS FLOWERS FROM CHILDREN I 7
