, A V 'CA Great Lzfglzt Went Uuzi on Eartln, and Anolher Candle Was IJL in, llcrwcnfi fF1'O1H the funeral oration of Pope Pius X119 The news of the death of Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, on October 8, cast a gloom over the entire world. People of every creed and color were saddened by the loss of this 'CWhite Shepherd who had drawn all to him by his vibrant personality and his sincere hos- pitality to all pilgrims. It is certain that no human being in history has ever succeeded in being so intimately known and so greatly loved by so many of his contemporaries as was this humble servitor of Christ, who was born Eu- gene Pacelli, and since 1939 the 260th succes- sor of the Apostle, St. Peter. Men and women everywhere sensed his total commitment to mankind, to its temporal as well as spiritual well-being. Their gravitation toward him was utterly spontaneous, and showed the irrepressi- ble response of the heart to a Pope who was so magnificently human in everything he thought and did. ln the almost twenty years of his pontificate, Pius Xll stood out as a recognized spiritual leader in the struggle to preserve man's God- given freedom. His entire public career was permeated by the principle that there was only one adequate answer to a world-assault upon the human race itself, a constructive vision of the world united in justice, law, and love, a full recognition of the dignity of each individ- ual, no matter how humble, according to the teaching of' His Master, ,lesus Christ. From the scene below, we know that two of our Sisters, both alurnnae of Incarnate Word College, Sisters M. Eucharista and Mary Jarlath, will treasure this day as the outstanding one of their period in Rome, when they were privileged to be received in audience by Our late beloved Holy Father, Pope Pius XII.
