Father President Charles W. DuIIea. S.J., President A Message to the Graduates My Dear Graduates: In the very first part of Peace on Earth Pope John explains why God has given you the talents and the opportunity to finish college. So that, as far as possible, you may occupy posts and take on responsibilities in human society equal to your natural gifts and education. God gives talents to a man to use individually and socially. Only when we use them for the good of others will they come to perfection: the way to God is through man. God's only son became man to lead us more surely to Himself. Catholics have learned the individual dimensions of piety and religious obligation, not so surely their social dimension. You are helping give birth to a great new religious expansion: for this I am joyful and thankful. But what you have started must continue to grow, and will grow. Religious involvement in our world will continue to gather force at the University. Pope John and the Council have made it mandatory. I hope you will grow with it: that having been part of its birth, you will father its growth, make it f art of your own life. I pray that in serving your ellow men each of you may enjoy the perfection of your talents and education, and present them proudly one duy to Almighty God. 12
