I fully approve and accept, In the naue Of
God the vow you have now made. III your name,
and also In tho nnrne Of a great number Of nb-
sentees, sharing tic same sentiments. At this
moment am reminded Of tho rapid progress
made by the human family in certain scieuces,
which shall namo utilitaires, as they hayo for
object the development Of the material wolfaro,
OF tho advantages Of life. Yes, the whole human
family haB cntcred into this path; 1t advances
onWardH with suro and swift strides, and Ia maxi
ing progress; all the sciences arc cultivated
happiness in this world; this forms, may so
call it, the speciM glory Of our present tlmo.
NeverthelesH. amongst those sciences tue science
of human misery, though weil cultivated IN the
upon by Bpeakera. and discussed In the acad-
amios-this science, ! say, 30 cultivated in
theory, shows Tery little result in practice.
Thus, as material progress becomes greater, hut
1nan misery develops itself In the name ratio;
the neglect shown in that why ia tho roason OF
its augmontlng In proportion. Louk around
you, and consider the oy1s which aasail us Oil a1l
sides-moral and phyaicat suffering, sent to us
wickedness OF nun, which l will call alttoinl.
It iB not at all necessary that should give in
detail the history Of all these disasters. 1t will
bo quito sufficient to briefly enumernte them.
before you tho melancholy spectacle Of tho
inundation, earthquake, devastating tempests,
pagucs aud other public calamittoB. Among

IN fine, speaking OF the ills causoa by mon in

bon ed down in the mre aud dust by this opproB-
sion. But you havo found tho remedy for all
children! You have remembered thero ia in
Heaven divine heart which can control, assist,
md comfort you. Ah, yeBf Let ua approach
this heart. ana IN presence Of tho wound
mediate with love and faith. Prospiciens per
cdncellos. Remark how this heart, according to
o,,r comprehension, desires hrdently to COM
municate that fire With which tt burns interiorly
this fire which would warm with love and
and full of admiration, SEQ with what celestial
dlepensation tho Church ~ formed, and how
| powerful she comcB forth from that divine
source, supported BY tho soyen hills which are
| represented by the HacramentH. Filled with
humility and respect, lot us approach this heart
| aud VIC shn1l hear those sweet words, 81 Er,1us
ocui mel iii c'.nctis dicbus" which signify that
| tho heart and tho eyes Of Christ will always bo
the face Of tho globo, but particularly
towards tho City OF Ron,o, because it was here
that tho scat Of truth and the contre Of Catholi-
cism was first established. It was to this place
that st. Potter came, ventuFing fcarlessly into
this forest Of wild beasts, preaching boldly the
truth in tho midst Of ali faso crceds Of tho Ro-
man Empire, which, aftor having conquered w.
turpitudc and abber1atlon Of tho vanquished.
| Sovereign pontiffs aud many thousands ct mar
| tyrs here spilled their blood, and thon this fa-
vored city, which had been tho disciple OF error
precious blood and BY the Divine will, became
| tho soat of truth.
| From this sent Of holy doctrines proceeded tho
tcaching. tho instruction.. tho enlightenment,
commencement Of hor life up to tho syllabus.
! and to tho decisions Of the Vatican council.
| Blessed bo this divine heart, origin Of all good,
and source OF consolation mud comfort! And
blebaed bo you, also, who, inBtead Of seeking
distraction III the friyoltioa Of the world, camo,
Oh tho contrary, to sock peace and happtnosa
from tho source which has powor to grant it. 1
ena we'll aware that this sacsol heart il made a
subject of blasphemy by tho impious, but tho
time will come when God himself viii curse
