The ardor of charity is the

our actions and we need it
e performance of our
Gsy-to-day duties. The semi
marian who is inspired by this
srdor does not feart setbaeks,
but distinguishes himself in
discipline and in order"
Pope John spoke of "the
sublime beauty of the priestly
vocations," and said that many
priests have derived strength
Of action from the hearts of
Jesus and Mary. He also point
ed to the example of ST. John
Vianney, the cure OARS, and
of the many others who, he
said, though not subjects of
official proclamations, are
still worthy Of >raise.
The Pope so voiced his
praise for the parish priest
who baptized him, gave him
his first Communion, and in
dictated the best way to live.

we rejoice that many nations
formerly subjected to exter-
nal control now guide their
own destinies. But all too of
ten a morbid preoccupatlon
with past grievances arouses
a spirit of revenge that de-
frauds certain minoritles of
freedom and obstructs the
clear vision of the construc-
tive and peaceful paths to ma
tional greatness"
Deploring inhuman condi-
tons which prevail among
millions of the worlds peo-
plies, the Bishops declared:
Poverty, hunger, disease and
the bitterness engendered by
social injustice is their COM
mon lot. Embittered by the
contrast between their own
wretchedness and the wealth
of the rich and powerful in
their own lands, and between
the nations, they arc ripe for
exploitation by both the COM
munists and the extreme ma
tlonalists."
NOR CAN WE BE unmind-
full Of the plight of the mil
lions Of refugees whose pres.
ent status is a challenge to all
who believe in freedom and
peace" the Bishops declared.
Victims of totaIitarian tyran-
ny, deprived of family, of
homeland, of liberty itself,
they pose no threat TO the
peace and security of any
land that may be their haven.
But continued apathy TO the
problem of their resettlement
is a reproach to the con
science Of the free world"

ops said, should not deter US

Bishops declared that the So

OUR PEOPLE have beer

OUR PEOPLE have been
generous in responding to the
appeals of the afflicted vic
Tins of war and famine" the
Bishops said. But the needs
of the world will not be met
by charitable aid alone. The
greater charity is to help peo-
pie to help themselves"
The Catholic leaders observ-
ed that programs of educa-
ton, technical assistance and
development aid by individual
governments and information
al bodies can do much to build
foundations for prosp Gritty
and peace in poverty-stricken
and hungry nations.
I'm the long run, al least,
the cause of peace and free
dom so intimately connected
with the independence of ma
tions would be better served
if we could rely less on pro
grams Of governmental aid
and more on private invest
ment and international trade
adequately regulated for the
good OF all nations" the Bish-
ops said.
FACING THE PROBLEMS
on the home front, the Bish-
ops dispensed this advice:
"The forces Of religion in this
country face no problem more
pressing than the restoration
within our people of respect
for the moral law as Gods
law, and the inculcation of
those virtues on which the
Soundness Of family and civic
life depends. Reverence for
Gods law, the keeping of His
Commandments, the practice
OF self-restraint, of justice and
charity will contribute be.
yond measure to the strength
and unity of our country,
which are so essential for ef-
fective leadership in the cause

This re-evaluation had been
