rihle with burning hate, with blood
shed, and with slaughter, once more
may Thy Divine heart be moved TO
pity. Pity the countless mothers in
anguish for the fate of their sons;
pity the numberless families now be-
reaved OF their fathers; pity Europe,
over which hroods such havoc and
disaster. Do Thou inspire rulers and
peoples with counsels of meekness. do
Thou heal the discords that tear the
nations asunder; Thou who didst shed
Thy precious blood that they might
live as brothers, bring men together
ONCE more In loving harmony. And as
once before to the cry ~ the Apostle
Peter: Save us. Lord, we perish. Thou
didst answer with words of mercy and
didst still the raging waves, so now
deign to hear our trustful prayer and
give back TO the world peace and
tranquility.
and do Thou. o Most Holy Virgin.
as in other times of sore distress, be
now our help, our protection and
our safeguard. Amen"
