MOTHER BELOVED The following song written by Father Daniel A. Lord, S.J., expresses our love and devotion to our Blessed Mother better Than we could ex- press them.

One our faith, One our love, One our Leader and Lord. One our aim, One hope above, One united accord. CHORUS Mother beloved of God and of men, Here at your feet, Faithful we meet, Comrades of Mary, Redeemed by your Son, Keep us, who love you, ln all things one. Torn in heart, flung apart, ln the world that denies you. Enmity and rivalry Fill the souls that despise you. We who kneel o'er us feel The sweet warmth of your smile. Grant us courage, hearts of steel, Facing triumph or trial. 'aff' .ur-Q gi
