This Novena of Ours, Dearly Beloved, links
us to that Pilgrim band-Our Brethren in the
Faith, and portion of which will soon leave our
city for the Shrine of Mary Immaculate and
the Tombs of the Apostles. Prostrate at the
feet of Christ's Vicar, they will tender our un-
dying love for His Holiness, and our unswery-
ing devotion to the Successor of st. Peter.
The precious boon of His Blessing He will
bestow, not alone-upon them, kneeling at His
feet, but also upon US and upon our Province
To Us, Dearly Beloved, more suitable pre-
paration for our Grand Solemn Act of Conse-
Grafton is hardly conceivable.
And, Dearly Beloved, in that Solemn Hour
when the Catholics of Our Diocese, and Our
Province will be laid at the feet of Our Cru
Gifted Lord, let Our prayers at that moment,
be the genuine expression of hearts truly con-
secrated to His. Let Us SO completely inco1.
porate ourselves in His Adorable Heart, that
that Heart may throb with ready response
for what petition soever we address to Him
for HIS Greater Glory, the immediate triumph
of His Church, and the sanctifcation of Our
is ended, we may be enabled to see, love- bless.
and possess Him for eternity.
