POPE ADDRESSES GREAT CONGRESS
CONTINUED from Page l

the Sanctification of His own city.
Here is Jesus among the faithful:
wherever in future an Eucharistic
congress will be celebrated, if the
place be important or small, Jesus
will really reign there; He will re-
enter not only in the intimacy of pri-
vate and individual life, but also in
the public one and in the full light of
day, in the full current of human
events. These are wonderful happen
ings for which we must thank the
Lord and gather auguries for the fur
ture. Jesus will reign. He will again
occupy His own place.. the one due
to Him by His divine rights, the post
to which the accents of His children
call Hmm your voices, my dear
children.
The Month OF Mary.
The Heart of Jesus is in this mo-
ment throbbing with new tender
ness, His glance shines with a more
inflamed love and the throbbing is
for our Eucharistic congress a pledge
of holy and beneficial success. We
are in the holy month of May, the
month of Our Lady who looks down
with love upon your congress, your
works which unfold in this month
dedicated to her, in the remembrance
of all those virtues sweet and pure of
which she is the highest symbol And
today is the Feast of Our Lady Help
of Christians, the day which re-
calls the great help brought as usual
to her people by Our Lady, it is the
day which recalls the Mohammedan
barbarity defeated at Lepanto, the day
when the vicar of Jesus Christ was
reconducted almost by Mary's hand
to His own city of Rome.
And even now it is Mary who will be
with you; and seem to see the beauti-
full vision: Our Lady herself conduct
ing her Jesus, our Jesus, through the
streets of Rome. You shall have the
great honor, my dear children, of es-
corting this miraculous entrance of
Jesus and Mary. May your piety,
your devotion, the sight of your faith,
the same as the sight of your religious
love which has so honored Jesus,
cause the pagans of today to say: "Be-
name of Jesus!" May all present and
those far away, those who are born
and those to be born, say that the
Eucharistic congress of Rome has not
been unworthy of the sanctity and the
greatness of this city so dear to the
Heart of Jesus.
And may your edifying conduct,
with the blessing of Christ. bear fruit
| as the example that sways other
| hearts and souls, so that they also
may be attracted towards the lumi-
nous current of your faith to honor
Our Lady, to honor Christ, Our King,
and may the Heart of Christ be great.
ly glorified in the generous confession
even unto torture and death Of these

have come to venerate.
May, therefore, the blessing of God
descend upon you, your works and en-
| terprises, in which you will employ
| your energies, upon all that you will
| do for the glory Of Christ in the Eu-
| charist, and may the Papal Blessing
| which I impart to you with all my
heart, grateful to God, as am. Who
has assembled you here, grateful to
you who have come, may this blessing
be the pledge and the sign of Gods
blessing upon you!
