John XIII, in a world
girdling broadcast marking
the birth of the Prince of
Peace, repeated the peace
appeal he launched at the
height of the Cuban crisis.
He quoted from his i'm
FASHIONED plea for peace of
October Is when Soviet
merchantmen carrying nu-
clear weapons were steaming
toward a Cuba blockaded by
u. S. warships. At that time
the Pope said: 1--WE beg all
governments not to be deaf
to this cry of mankind. Let
them do all in their power
to preserve peace"
In his Christmas message
he said:
"The recollection of this
appeal is all the more Joyful
for Us, venerable brothers
and dear children, because
of the clear signs of deep I'M
derstanding which show
that the words were not
wasted on the air, but touch

and to hold out bright hopes

The year 1862 will no
doubt be remembered as the
year the Second Vatican
Council was convened. The
Holy Fathers calling of the
council was praised by lead
ers of all faiths, many ma
tons, and is the news story
of the year by any standard.
In the United States we
had our share of controver-
sizes. Perhaps the most inn
portant of these was the SUI
preme Courts school prayer
decision. Next years session
of the Court is expected to
clarity the meaning of the
decision. Another was fed
eral aid to education.
EXPECTED to be some

the debate that has been 60

laity in the American
Church. The liberal : con-
servative controversy which
was the biggest issue at the

disappeared into Limbo. Per-

Prayer
urged for

Bishop Clarence Tssenrnann
has asked the people of the
Diocese to join the other
American Catholics in pray
er for the Church of Silence
on Sunday, Dec. 30.
He encouraged every pas
tor to have Public EXPOSE
ton of the Blessed Sacrament
after the last Mass until the
late afternoon or evening as
san act of petition for the
Church of Silence as well as
an act Of gratitude for our
own blessings"
The Bishop said, "In the
midst of the blessings and
happiness of this holy sea-
son, we must be mindful of
the millions who are not free
to practice their faith and,
If they make such an at
tempt, are liable to severe
penalties.
"DURING THE first ses-
sion OF the Second Vatican
Council, some Bishops from
the prosecuted Church were
permitted to attend the de-
alterations, while others were
not permitted by their govern
ments to leave their coun-
tries" the Bishop pointed
out.
"The Fathers of the Coun-
Gil were able to obtain from
these few fortunate Bishops,
first-hand information as to
the perilous conditions under
which the Faith must be
practiced, and the work of
the Church carried on" he
said.
Where Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament is not
possible, the Bishop asked
pastors to substitute other
devotions for the Church of
Silence, for example a Holy
Hour.
In the downtown area, st.
Joseph Cathedral will have a
Holy Hour beginning at z
