Malvern Men Can Merit Their Share Of Rich Graces During’ Marian Year By REV. WILLIAM J. KANE The Marian Year has begun. we, the Men of Malvern, wont to play u part in it and to merit a full share of the rich graces, blessings and indulgences that will be forthcoming to all devoted children of Mary. In on encyclital letter entitled. “Fulgens Corona," given at Rome on september 5. 1953, our Holy Father proclaimed the year beginning Decem- hcr 3, 1953, and extending to December 8, 1954, as s Marian Year in com- memoration or the centenary of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, During this period it is the wish or our Holy Father that Catholics throughout the world should lit: up their minds and hurts in prayerrul intercession to the Mother of God tor the multiple needs or modern man. Especially urged by His Holiness is the olrei-ing of prayers for the return of all men In Christ, the return of peace, charity and inslice. and the restoration of the liberty or the Church in countries where catholics nre now experiencing persecution. That men have abandoned Christ is quite evident from a glance at almost any edition of any secular newspaper. Every day one sees in print accounts or horrible murders, of divorces, therts and other crimes. That peace is absent from our present-(lay world no one questions, That charity and justice are wanting; that Chri ‘s hunch is not only restricted in her eR‘orLs to carry out His divine mission, but, in many places, physically am. prisonrd are matters ul record. who or what is going to return man to God and the things of God-< peace, charity and justice-to man! certainly not our nuclear sricn ' ls nor our materialistic philosophers and professors. certainly not the mi taken theologians of our clay nor the men who sit at round tables to plan the destiny of the world's peoples. ‘ The challenge of the antichrist has been hurled into the face of thc Christian world.
