The text of the Popes radio address,
as translated from Latin into English,
follows:
To all creation:
We, being through the high design of
God, successors of the Prince of the
Apostles of Him that in whose doctrine
and preaching is destined through divine
command for all peoples and for every
creature, and being able for the first
time to avail ourselves of Marconi'S adj
mlrable invention here, we speak first
to all things and to all men, speaking
to them here and as follows with the
words themselves of Holy Scripture.
Hear, o heavens, that which I shall
say, and listen, 0 earth, to the words
Of my mouth.
Listen, all people; lend your ear all
you who inhabit the globe, united toward
the same end. Both the rich and the
poor. Hear, o islands, and listen, o
distant peoples.
To God-and let this be our first
word-glory to God on high and peace
on earth to men of good will.
Glory to God who gives in our days
such power to men of making their
words arrive even to the confines of the
earth. And peace on earth where we
are representatives of that divine
Jesus, the Redeemer, whose coming
announced peace, peace to the far and
peace to the near, pacifying in the
blood of the cross both the things that
are on earth as well as those in the
skies.
do Good to ALL"
To Catholicism speaking, then, to
men, the apostle commands us to 90
good to all but especially to the servants
of the faith. We must therefore address
our first words to them, to all those
who making part of the family and
fold of the Lord which is the Catholic
Church, call us with the sweet name
of Father. To fathers and to sons we
speak, to the sheep and to the lambs,
to all those whom the Shepherd and
Supreme King Jesus Christ has con-
and guide them.
To the hierarchy-You, we say, our
brethren, cardinals of the Holy Roman
Church, patriarchs archbishops, bishops,
prelates and priests, distributed in the
different grades of the hierarchy, the
principal object of our daily talks and
at the same time the auxiliaries and
partakers of our laborS: We pray and
beg that each of you remain faithful
to that vocation in which he was called
and that each one of you walk worthily
of the vocation to which you have been
called.
Nourish the flock of God which is
amongst you, forming with all your
heart your flock SO that when the
Prince of Shepherds appears you will
receive the incompatible crown OF
glory.
Meanwhile the God of peace who
had resurrected from death the great
pastor of the sheep in the blood of the
eternal testament, our Lord Jesus
Christ, guides you toward every good
50 that you may fulfil His will, accom-
plishing in yourself that which will be
pleasing in his sight by means of Jesus
Christ
Speaks to Religious.
To the religious-and now we speak
to you. oh sons and daughters of our
prediction who. emulating the best
examples and seconding not only the
precepts, but also the desires and coun-
sells of Divine King and His spouse,
in fidelity to your most holy VOWS and in
the religious dicipline Of all your life,
perfume with Virgin fragrance the
church of God, illuminate it with your
contemplations, uphold it with prayers,
enrich it with science and doctrine,
cultivate and enlarge ever so much
more with your ministry of the word
and with the works of the Apostolate.
"Partakers therefore in one vocation
truly heavenly and angelic, so much
more precious is the treasure that you
bring as. the greater degree of diligence
you use in conserving it, not only to
render certain your vocation ard cleo
ton, but also because the heart of the
King and of your spouse might find III
you, as in servants completely faithful
and devoted, some consolation and
reparation for the infinite offenses and
negligences with which men return his
inefible love.
ITO missionaries-now our words turn
toward you, oh, sons and daughters
very dear in Christ, who in the missions
pray and work to propagate the holy
faith of Jesus Christ and to extend His
kingdom. Like the first apostles of the
church you also, in perils, necessities
and tribulations, create with great pa
thence an example for all.
Sends Message to Faithful.
Like them, you, also, are the glory
of Cod; you who in labors, often in
chains and in blood fighting even unto
death the good and great battle Of faith
and of suffering, and confessing gen.
erously your faith, gain your. souls and
SOW the seed of future Christians.
We salute you. oh stronge soldiers of
Christ. But together with you we salute
the native priests and good catechists,
principal fruits and now colleagues and
helpers of your labors.
To all faithful-Our heart turns
toward you, to all who are faithful cit
liens Of our episcopal city and Of all the
world; toward you especially who. like
