General Intention for January.
cATHoLIcITY IN PORTUGAL.

One of the aims of the apostleship is
the union of Catholics in PRAYER for the
needs of the church. At the opening ot
the new year Our Holy Father. who
knows so well the wants of his children
urges US to pray for Portugal, which al
present is in great danger, and which
has such strong claims upon the faith
full
The debts which the church owes, to
Portugal are many. The past history
OF this nation is a glorious one. For
centuries her sons We're dauntless apos-
ties of faith in Africa, India and Japan.
Fhe blood of her martyrs has REDEEMED
the soil Of many lands. Wherever. in
other days. the flag of Portugal waved,
there was the cross planted
Portugal was the first country that
erected national temple to the honor
and glory of the Sacred Heart, and
within her borders the feast of that Di-
Vine Heart is kept as a holy day of OBJ
legation. Surely if we plead for her we
shall be heard.
Her needs are many. On all sides she
is menaced and ravaged by the wiles
and attacks of Freemasonry The edu-
cational and civil administrations are
carried on IN a spirit hostile to the
church. Day by day men are led into
evil paths by the influence of secret So
cleues. A propaganda of Protestant
ism is supported and carried on with a
zeal and energy worthy of a better
cause. Socialistic theories are multi
plying on all sides, and multitudes are
being led into error and anarchy. Our
Holy Father seeing the dangers turns
TO the members of the apoStleship.
Surely we shall not allow the vicar of
Christ to plead in vain
