Rome was spared the ravages of

The pontiff also expressed thanks
to both belligerent parties" for

brought prolonged applause from
the multitude.
1t was perhaps the greatest crowd
gathered there since his coronation
The assemblage was estimated at
between 250,000 and 500 900 persons
Early in the afternoon word
spread through the city that the
Pope would mark the Allies en-
trance into Rome by appearing on
the balcony of st. Peters at pm.
Half an hour before that time
great crowd was gathered there and
long lines of people still were max
ing their way on foot to the
Basilica.
Rome was virtually intact after
the German retreat. The Vatican
was entirely unmolested.
The tert OF the Pope,S remarks
as broadcast in Spanish By the
Vatican radio and reported by
the Federal Communications
Commission.
Rome yesterday was fearful for
the lives of her sons and daughters
and for the fate of her incompar-
able treasures of religion and cul-
ture. She was faced with the
dreaded specter of war and of un-
imaginable destruction. Today she
sees salvation with new hope and
serene confidence. Therefore, with
a deeply thankful spirit, We raise
our minds and hearts in praise and
alteration to God, one and triune,
to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
on whose solemn feast, through
divine mercy, both belligerent par
ties were inspired (word missed in
monitoring) in honor of our relig-
ion and of the Eternal City that has
been spared from immesurable
peril.
With untold gratitude we vene-
rate the Holy Mother of God, our
Mother Mary, who to the centuries
and glories of the Roman people has
added new token of her maternal
kindness, which will be perpetuated
in the annals of the city. We rev.
erently bow to the Apostles Peter
and Paul whose serene hands have
protected the land once STEPPED in
the sweat of their apostolic fatigue
and in the blood of their glorious
martyrdom. 1
You, sons of saints and heirs of q
past unique in history, show your
selves to be worthy of the grace you
have received and adapt your lives
and customs to the gravity and
serenity of the present hour with
the formidable duties that await you
in the future. Overcome impulse as
well as internal and external discord
in the spirit of generous brotherly
honor, controlling instincts of ran
cor, revenge and egotism with senti-
ments of noble and prudent rever-
ence and solicitude and ever more
generous help to the needy and to
the faithful. Sursum corda.
Lift up your hearts, we say to
you loudly, and we are sure that
unanimously and without one eX-
ceptton your hearts will reply I'VE
have lifted them up to heaven" It
is with this hope that we give all of
you who are present, to your families
and to your loved ones who are far
away eur appstolic benedicfion~
