“evils which affict other countries may fall upon our own. Charity, which should unite us to all our fellow beings and more particularly to the children of the Holy Church, does not permit us to remain unconcerned in presence of so many evils You will therefore pray Our Lord ; you will say, like the apostles terrified by the tempest which threatened to ingulph them ; Zord, save us, we perish (Mat. 8. 25.), Lord, save all we hold most dear in this world ; protect the Church, the Sovereign Pontiff, the sanctuaries of the Holy. City ; restore peace to the agitated world ; give to our dear country the peace, union and concord which alone can secure her welfare and her happiness.

Thus, O. D. B. B. if you acquit yourselves well of. your duties towards Our Lord, no crime will remain without expiation, no outrage without reparation, no sacrilege without amends, no public or private evil without a cry uttered towards the throne of the divine majesty which is also the throne of the divine mercy.
