Advent wreaths. which accent

On Saturday, Nov. 28, they will

Advent, two the next and so on,
in order to herald the gradual ap-
proach of Christ.

daily during that period.
Another important matter which
Bishop Ready called to the atten-
tion of the pastors is the nation
wide collection Dec. 6 for construc-
ton of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception in Wash
ington, DC. It will be the last gen.
eral appeal for funds to build the
shrine, which in the words of Bish-
op Ready will represent the ex-
ternal expression of the American
peoples love and deep devotion to
their national Protectress, the I'm
maculate Queen of Heaven"
The Bishop pointed out that the
addition of a special ejaculation
to the Leonine prayers after Low
Masses will be made during the
Marian Year The priest viii say:
20 Mary, conceived without sin,"
and the congregation will answer,
"Pray for us who have recourse to
thee" This will be repeated three
times.
All fessts of Our Lady are to be
celebrated with solemnity in the
parish churches and ehapels of in
stitutions during the Marian Year,
Bishop Ready continued. In addi-
tion, the major feasts of the I'M
maeulste Conception. the Annun-
citation and the Assumption are to
be marked with special devotions
-novenas where these can be ar
ranged, or at least a iridium of
prayer.
Moreover, there viii be special
daily devotions during May and De-
tober. The May devotions viii give
young people an opportunity to
honor the Queen of Heaven with
special prayers, hymns and process
sions Prayers for an apt choice of
state in life will be prominent in
these devotions.
October, the Bishop asserted, Is
to be reserved for family devotions
to the Mother of God whereby faith
ers and mothers and their children,
under the guidance of the Queen
of the Most Holy Rosary, will in
woke Mary's intercession for them
selves and their families and for
all the needs of that larger family
to which they all belong, the Holy
Catholic Church, the Mystical Body
of Christ.
Lay organizations, ne continued,
will be urged to obtain pledges
from individuals and families to re-
cite the Rosary daily. Holy Com

Red Agencies
Supervise
Church Rites

BERLIN - NC) - Three com
munist agencies in Eastern Ger
many supervise Catholic and Prot
estant church services, according to
an official who fled to western Ber-
lin.
This information lends further
support to some indications that
the communist regime, having
weathered for the time being the
open revolt of last June, feels
strong enough to withdraw some
of the concessions" made to the
Christian churches earlier this
year.
On the other hand, however, gllC
regime has made some gestures fa.
vorable to the Catholic Church.
Seminarians whose homes are in the
eastern zone and who hitherto have
studied in western German univeF-
sites, have received permission to
attend the seminary at Erfurt in
the Soviet Zone. A total of 200 stu
dents are enrolled there today. Fur
thermore, the regime has promised
to grant a license for a new Cath
olic weekly, "Hedwigsblatt" which,
beginning January /, 1854, is to be
distributed in those parishes of
Berlin diocese from which the Of
ficial diocesan organ, the "Petrus-
blatt," is barred.
The three agencies supervising
church services are, according to
Will Arndt, former director of the
(communisO East Berlin city office
for church affairs O the registra-
ton section of the police depart
ment, (2) local commissions set up
by the communist party, and 81
the state security service, that is,
the communist secret police.
Even those few clergymen who
are apparently enjoying the conf
dence of the red regime are kept
under close surveillance, Mr.. Arndt
said.

The wreath also is symbolic.
The round wreath may be said to
represent the sun following its
course, or simply time, since we

members of the American Her
archy assembled here for their an
nual meeting by Cincinnati's Arch
bishop Karl J. Alter, chairman of
the N.C.W.C. Administrative Board.
At the outset of the report, Arch
bishop Alter detailed that a COM
munication from Msgr. Giovanni B.
Montini, Vatican Pro-Secretary of
State, said that His Holiness Pope
Plus XII had stated that not "only
does the generosity of the faithful
of the United States maintain and
further the praiseworthy and far
flung work of their own relief or
CARNATIONS, but it is also one of
the principal sources which enable
the Common Father to carry on
and extend that mission of uni
versal charity which is inseparable
from his high office"
On the international scene,
Archbishop Alter reported that
perhaps the most dramatic and
effective Intervention of the
N.C.W.C. abroad" during the year
was on behalf of His Eminence
Aloysius Cardinal Stepinac, Arch
bishop of Zagreb, Yugoslavia. The
report detailed that through the
N.C.W.C., two American physicians,
DR.. John H. Lawrence, Nobel Prize
winner and specialist in atomic
medicines, of the University of Cal
ifornia, and DR.. John Ruzic of Chi
cago, were sent to examine the
ailing Cardinal. The report detailed
that the doctors found the Cardi-
nal victim of a rare blood disease,
'polycythemia vera rubra," gave
him two treatments and were opti-
mistic about the results.
On the national scene, the Arch
bishops report related that board
was again confronted with many
problems involving the church and
her institutions.
The truce in Korea last July
rs. the report noted, only served
TO emphasize the need for
thorough pre-induefion program
for the youth Of the nation.
Archbishop Alter reported that
there now are some ], 3,so0, 900 in
the nations armed forces and
indications are that such q force
will be maintained for the next
10 TO 10 years.
The report said that intensive
efforts on the pre-induction pro-
gram project are being carried on

straight the way of the Lord" The
sprigs of evergreen, pine, cedar or
holly, which are fresh and green
the year around, tell us to be hope
full.
In short, the message of the Ad-
vent wreath is this:
Long for Christ with the deep
and hopeful longing of the Chosen
People: make your crooked ways
straight. and smooth out the rough
spots in your life by the practice
of penance; place all your hope in
the Lord for He is the Light of the
World.
