The Eucharistic Congress

Pope Plus, dealing with peace in his
address, said:
1.-The kindness and compassion
from the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
alone will bring pacification, which is
the first condition indispensable in
every social reconstruction. This
pacification must commence with the
return in society of Jesus Christ, Who
is the only real essence in reconstruc-
tion and rehabilitation. 1t is the pride
and haughtiness of humanity that has
banished, relegated and exiled Jesus
from society. Thus it is that Christ
is deserted; thus that peace deserts
humanity. The Sacrament of the
Eucharist and the solemn recognition
and solemn alteration of this, the most
divine of divine things, is the remedy
