con fidence ofgood Christians God will not abandon His Church es pecially If recourse is had to Mary whom God willed to be the dispenser of His favor Among the various forms of prayer to the Blessed Virgin one of the principal and widest spread assuredly is the Holy Rosary which so to speak is the "Psalter of the and a resume of the Gospel and Christian lite The Encyclical calls to mind here a commendation of the Ros ary uttered by Leo XIII speaks of the value of this supplication wherein the Prayer is in terwoven with constantly recur ring accession of the sal utation and wherein mental pray er penetrates and sustains vocal prayer A word of justification then is said of this devotion which so miraculously is (propagated by Saint Dominic It requires in deed a simple and pious mind but precisely for this reason it educates the Christian unto a spirit of humility and that child like simplicity which is spoken oi in the Gospel Guard Against Heresy or the rest this devotion has beeri practiced faithfully by men of all conditions including me most learned and eyen princes and kings who were happy to recite the Rosary every day Cer tainly such devotion is acceptable to the Virgin Mother as is prov en by the recommendation of Our Lady herself in the apparitions of Lourdes The Holy ather therefore ex horts all to recitation both pub lic and private of the Holy Ros ary especially during this year and as the terrible sect of Albi gensians was overcome by cation of Mary so We hope shall then be overcome those who az the communists of today remind us of them by their craftiness and violence 1 Even as at the timesof the Cru sadcs all the faithful whether it cities qr in the country should raise their voices as one iz confident supplication to Ouj Lady Practice of this devotiot will not only serve to ovcrcomi enemies of the Christian namt will also reawaken a new fer and new virtue1 in the faith thi holy myster inal Services Held for' Very Rev Juan The oundress of
