Of battle. I should like this High Mass
to be said at very early hour so that
the parishionors may associate them
selves more intimately with the Holy
Sacrifice by communicating at It with
the priest. The celebrant will then
better understand the lovely prayer
of the Canon: "All powerful God, &C.
cept our sacrifice: that all of us who
at the table of the altar partake of
the nourishment of the Sacred Body
and Precious Blood of Thy Son, may
receive In their fullness all the bless
ings Of heaven with divine grace.
Through the same Jesus Christ our
Lord"
II 1t is only too true that the ma
tions are warning one against the
other, all the souls are nevertheless Of
one family. You must exclude none
Of your suffrages, not even the souls
OF the soldiers fallen as they brand
ished their weapons against us. Yet
you must pray with especial predilec-
ton for the souls of your compatriots
and their allies. You must be assid-
uous in your attendance at Holy Mass.

for the repose of the souls of the SOL
