mend you also to pray and implore mercy
as the blind man did when Jesus passed
by. The Gospel relates that, as Jesus was
going to Jericho with His disciples, when
they were near the city a blind man cried
me- Those who accompanied Our Lord
tried to impose silence, but the blind man

know that some will try by raillery to de-
tach you from prayer. Bad examples will
also be held up to induce you to go the
way OF wrong; there are shameful mas
querades, bad balls which arc nothing but
internal orgies ; my daughters, shut your
eyes to these denominations which can
only corrupt manners and lead to
all sorts of disorders. 1t is by these
means that it is sought to corrupt this
cherished city which is Notwithstanding the
capital of the Catholic world. Do your
utmost that no one belonging to you, and
none of your household participate in
these diabolical actions. And cease not to
repeat, Jesus Son of David have mercy
on ue; have pity on US; see our country
become an object of contempt, since she
makes war upon the Church, aud upon the
priests aud virgins of the Lord In Civ

the benediction of the Eternal Father. AS

whom Thou hast given me, nave not lost
one.' Grant that may conduct to Your
feet all the souls contided to me, that they
may have the happiness to hear the conso-

treasure of the faith. l bless You, your
husbands, and your families. 'Pater mi,

Gus insinuations of the wicked, and grant
that they may be faithful to the end. And
now hope that God will soon remember
His mercy. May this benediction accom-

you may bless and praise him for ever.
