MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE
By REV ALBERT POWER SJ
THIS title Queen of Peace was added during the Great War by Pope Benedict XV, and is now by order of Pope Pius XI, a permanent part of theLitany It's an appea, to Mary to save the world from the scourge of war, an appeal to the Mother of Him Who is King of Peace, Who came to give glory to God and Peace on earth to men of good will In order that true peare should reign in the world it is necessary that Christ's principles should triunph, that wrong principles, false deeds and doctrines, should be driven out of en's hearts To bring about the victories necessary for the triumph of Christ's principles, the Church has ever appealed to Mary for help, and mny feasts and titles of Our Lady commemorate the victories she has secured. Thus in 'the Litany, the title 'Queen of the Rosary,'' reminds us of the triumph of Christian prayer and principles over Islam at Lepanto in 1571 The title, "Help of Christians" commemorates the triumphant entry of Pope Pius VII into Rome in 1814, and his final though long-delayed victory over the despotism of Napoleon Feast of the Holy Name of Mary.
On September 12, the Church celebrates the feast of the Holy Name of Mary, which is a festival in honour of Mry, Queen of Peace, that is, of Mary helping to secure the stability of the world by securing the triumph of Christ's principles The feast of the Holy Name of Mary had been instituted in Spain in 1513 and was extended to the Universal Church in 1683 in honour of the Victory of John Sobieski the King of Poland, ov r the Turks at Vienna in that year
The city of Vienna was besieged by an enormous Turkish army of about a quarter of a mililon menand the people of the city were praying earnestly to Our Lady for help. The Emperor Leopold had fed and Louis XIV of France (sad to say) was dissuading Sobieski from coming to the rescue, But John Sobieski marched out bravely with an army far inferior in number about 70,000 strong At a Shrine of Our Lady he stopped to pray for help and on the 11th. of September arrived at the Kharenberg heights above Vi enna He heard Mass next morning nd then gave battle At first the result was doubtful but the shout: of the Germans and Pol a: the called out the name of Sobi ki, tId the Turk that the great Northern hero wis on the field: they I t heart and fld, and the city wa saved This victory re movwd all danger of a Turkish invasion of Europe Sobieski marched into Vienn. nd wnt to th Church and prostrate on th ground scribed the victory to God. To Pope Innocent XI, he wrote· "Veni, vidi, Deus viait" "I came, I w, God cnquer ed" Then the Pope appointed the feast of th Nam f Mary to be kept by th wh t 'hurh n September 12 th d v on which the victorv was won
is
This feast is, therefore a perpetual memorial of the Church's debt of gratitude to Mary for securing for her children the blessings of Peace Meaning of the Name
Why do we honour the name of Mary? The name of Mary stands for all she is, for all the graces and favours she has received from God, and in rejoicing in her name we rejoice in her incomparable gifts, The name Mary the Hebrew Miriam is given to only one woman in the Old Testament, namely, the sister of Moses She was born in Egypt, as were her brothers, Moses and Aaron; hence some suppose the name to be of Egyptian origin But most probably it is Hebrew, and signifies the Beautiful or Perfect One Just as Jesus received His name by divine appointment, because it signifies Saviour'' and tells of the work He will do for mankind: n like manner Mary is so called because she is God's "Perfect One"
The practical conclusion to draw is this: In every danger and trouble invoke the Holy name of Mary Just as John Sobieski marched to victory and broke for ever the power of the Turks by calling on the name of Mary and in the strength of her protection; so we too shall march to victory if we confidently invoke her name and rely on her help Always pronounce her name with great reverence Each time we recite the Angelie Salutation we pronounce her name twice: "Hail Mary; Holy Mary"
Let us conclude with the fervid words of St Bernard of Clairvaux in his sermon on Our Lady:
'+O you whoever you are wh feel yourself tossed about on the stormy waters of life and exposed toall its violent tempests, turn not your eyes away from the shining of this bright Star of the Sea if you would not be overwhelmed by the storm When a hurricane of temptation sweepsdown upon you, and your ship is driftiny on to the rocks, look up at the Star, call upon Marv When buffeted bv the billows of pride, of ambition, f bitternes, of envy look up at th Str, all upon Mary When anger r avarice r the allurements of th have beaten in upon the ship f th ul, Ik up to Mary If you are rushed b a terribl burden of in, if ppalled at the foulnes a ruiltv n: ion if you re territ ·d t the thou;ht f judgment if you fol inking into an abvss o dr whirl of despair, then ti mnk u n Mr upon her holy na1 you will not stray will never lose ho; u will make no m pr ·te ·tion 'ou need r her guidanc you wil and with her help y a wil tory And so you will I own exprience how truly i i The Virgin's nan M.ry, rihtlv h i c:II St Sea, Mry, O Pea Australian Me

ernment and in civie matters at large
He became a member of the Perth Road Board was Chairman oi the Wanneroo Road Board for seven years, and also Chairman of the Agricultural Society of his district His intense interest in the progress of Osborne Park was evidenced by his founding of the Tart Hill Progress Association, of which he was Past President at the time of his death The efficient organisation of his own business interest also engrossed him and he was an active member of the Milk Producers and Producer-Retailers' Association
Recognition of his ability n his trade was made after the Renderpest outbreak of 19234, when he was appointed as Owners' representative to the Royal Commission of the Federal Government into assessments following the plague In this capacity he rendered noteworthy services Of an extremely sociable nature and an advocate of co-operation, Mr Keane was an enthusiastic and respected member of the Celtic Club and the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society, Ever a devout Catholic he had the opportunity of revisiting the land of his birth and of his faith during two round trips of the world in 1914 and again in 192

Foundress ofthe Sisters ofthe Presentation
Nano Nagle was or at Ballygrittin, Counay Cork, in the year 1719, As the English laws prohibited Catholic schools in Ireland, Nano received her early education from her parents When she grew up she ws sent to a Convent in Paris to complete her education Having finished her stu dies she was introduced into the very best ranks of Parisian society
Returning from a ball one morning she saw a number of poor people waitng on the steps of a church for the first Mass Contrasting her manner of living with theirs, and listening to the gentle voice of grace speaking within her, she yielded to its persuasive warnings, and resolved to bid farewell to the world and its vanities to devote the remainder of her life to the service of God
She returned to her peaceful home by the Blackwater She longed to teach and instruct the poor children of St Patrick, who were oppressed and downtrodden by England's cruel laws But what was shea young girl in her twenty-second yearto do in the face of such tyranny? She stood alone, unable to do anything, as she thought, to alleviate the misery of her countrymen She prayed and sought counsel, but was advised to silence her desires She made up her mind, as she could do nothing for Ireland, to return to France She said: "A convent there will receive me, and I shall be spared the sight of the misery and sin that will break my heart if I stay at home'
From a grief-laden heart she said her lat good-bye to the land of her birth and of her love, and set out for France
But she found no peace there, Sh could hear the cries f her dear Iris.h children imploring her to return and teach them the way of salvation At last her confessor said: Go back to Ireland and abour there for the in struction and sanctification of th poor" After some hesitation Nano returned once more to the home of her ohildhood, and we find in one of her letter· to Miss Fitzsimons, dated July 17 1769, a little incident relative to her first attempts as school-mistress
She introduced the Urulin nt Ireland in 1771, but as they were founded for the education of the higher classes, and her de:ir wa t instruct the poor she laid th found. tion f the Presentation Order towards the end o 1775. when the fret Presentation Convnt wa opend in h 'ity ot Cork.
The first :omp:nion Nano Nagle n her new Order wr Mi Fouhy y Eli at h Burku joined little atr by Mi Mary Ann Collins, nativ of the ty f rk, and remark able for their talents and sincere piety
The four pronounced their vows on June 24, 1777, in the presence of the Right Rev Dr Butler Bishop of Cork
Their religious names were: St, John £ God. Jo: ph Augutin and Angela
Nan Nagle died in April, 1874, aged 65 years
The Rules of the Order were approved by Pope Pius VI, Sept 3, 1791, and confirmed by Pope Pius VII, In order to form some idea of the difficulties and trials Nano Nagle had to undergo in the founding of her great Order which is now spread throughout Ireland, England, Asia, Australia, and America, one need only read the Penal Laws of King William III and Queen Anne the "Cork Remembrances," or Gibson's "History of Cork" It was only in 1782 there was passed "An Act to Allow Persons Pro fessing the Papish Religion to Teach School in this Kingdom and for Regu lating the Education of Papists."
Very Rev Thomas Burke, OP , concluding his sermon on the occasion of the Centenary of the Order of the Presentation, said:
'The evening of this great woman's lifeher Religious yearswas the most brilliant part of her stay on earth-for then her humility her charity, her mortification shone out in all their splendour One can only do justice to her by saying that her life was the Gospel and the Counsels perfectly reduced to practice After her death it was discovered that her knees had been painfully ulcerated and the Sisters shuddered as they remembered how often they had seen her kneelin motionless before the tabernacle as long as duty allowed and what agony it must have cost her while no one suspected her brightly hidden suffering They found, also, that her feet had been terribly swollen and inflamed, and tears started to their eves they recollected how bravely sh walked from school to school n her daily rounds without betrayiny by the slightest sign the torture sh enduring."
Nano Nagle's last advice spiritualchildren was: "Loveone other as you have hitherto done"
(It is earnestly requested tht 'I fa ours obtained through th nt of Nano Nagle be made known Mother Superior Presentation Douglas-stret, C rk, Ireland Superior of any of the Pr ·nt Convents who will tranmit an acknowledgments to Cork.
Prayer for the Beatification Nagle
O most amiable and adorable Heart of Jesus, we prostrate ourselves before Thee in all humility and pour forth our supplications on behalf of Thy servant, Nano Nagle, who during her life had such tender devotion towards Thee Cast a favourable look on her virtues and works and if it be for the glory of God and the sanctifcation of souls, hear us, we beseech Thee, that soon she may be raised to the Altars of Thy holy Church Amen,

gone from one amazing public triumph to another
Even now in his old age he is usually acknowledged to be the greatest pian it of our time
A Superb Artist
From 1900 onwards, however he used his incomparable prestige as an artist to further the cause of his martyred country, which was of course till under the respective heels of Rusia, Germany, and Austria
With the outbreak of tbe Great War he immediately organised concerts throughout the United States, now his headquarters, in aid of the Polish war victims and raised enormous sums
Moreover his tireless work for his country resulted in the creation of the strong and powerful society of American Poles, who gained much influence in America and it was undoubtedly largely due to Paderewski that Presi dent Wilson soon came out in support
At eighty it might well be that this of the idea of an independent Poland man I know is entitled to a rest His forceful personality made a

Far from his beloved country he issued his last message to an independ ent Poland early in 1939, during the crisis, and urged all Poles to rally round the government at whose hands he had suffered so much, in order to save Poland for European civilisation and the Church Butsad to say-these objectives were not attained It was typical of the spirit of the man, however, to put his pride and suffering in his pocket where the interests of his country were concerned. Occasionally of recent years he has given recitals, and all Europe has flocked to hear the old artist, whose skill remains unimpaired, He has given a great deal of time personal effort and money to the furthering o the cause of the Church in the Protestant part of Switzerland where he has made his home
An exquisite little church at Biere a little town above the Lake of Geneva, is but one of his many gifts
His charm, his kindliness, and ht unfailing memory remain undiminished Years and years ago he knew a friend of the writer's who was then a small boy of six and something of an infant prodigy at the piano
One day this little boy was called upon to play before the young Polish maestro Not for forty years did they meet again until Paderewski, on entering the Versailles Conference hall in 1919, suddenly stopped and exclaimed: "Wel, if it isn't little Ronald grown
up! ' Little Ronald was now one of the leading delegates at the Conference and absolutely bald Entitled to a Rest
At eighty it might well be thought that Ignaz Jan Paderewski was entitled to a rest, But this was not to be The disappearnce of Poland from the map of Europe brought him out of his retirement, and he has been made head oft the Polish National Council and leader of all Poles abroad until such time as there is a Poland once more
His speech to the Council was fully in accordance with the Catholic and democratic outlook that has coloured all his public utterances and private life He referred to the terribleordeal suffered by Poland and the necessity for Europe to have a Catholic Poland, holding aloft the banner of Christian culture in Eastern Europe
A great Catholic, a great pianist, a great Pole that is Ignaz Jan Paderewski, Catholic leader of a sorrowing Catholic people Yes, I knew a man.

Freaks
In 1902 Bill Doherty, now resident in Fremantle, where he has recently retired from the Harbour Trust, was beaten by Dan Creedon, who died last year
car XlnO n o was able to watch the punches 0 c, comin� every inch of the way and ride" or "duck" them with scarcely any foot movement at all Griffo used his body as Fitzsimmons used those thin legs, merely as a carrier and support for a pair of fast and forceful arms and a fighting head and brain
Bill Doherty has something interesting to remark on this He pointed out that, though each was beyond his prime at the time Bill gained a good idea of how great a puncher Dan must have been in his prime He expressed wonderment that a natural welterweight in Joe Walcott could ever have beaten a natural middleweight such as Dan Creedon, and one moreover who had possessed ability enough to beat such a good fighter as Prank Craig, and hold the great Joe Choynski to a draw
The answer givn to Bill was: "Ah, yes, Walcott, but he was a freak" A freak?' it seems is a boxer who pos sessing certain disadvantages of disposition or build, is able by some uncanny means to develop a style or method of fighting that straight away turns these advantages into assets of superlative value Walcott's heght was not much over five feet, a ditint disadvantage in the welter class that numbers many exponents approaching the six-foot mark, but did he give up the game on that account in favour of some other occupation where inche did not matter not he! He developed a peculiar stvie, a sort of rouch, that actually reduced his height, but which resulted in his opponent: having only one target in a hitable pc sition- the top of Joe's head and iron-hard kull. It also mean tht Joe him: ·lf was deprived of the privile f hitting effective blows fo abut nine tenth: of the time, but one- :nth w all that Joe required, beau: he developed such a punch in thos long strong arms that the best of them tok the count whenever Joe seized the opportunity to connect with left or right,
"Rubv Bob" Fitzsimmon: was another frek He had no chin to speak of, was knock-kneed, thin legged, and had a droping under-lip and a hayseed smile that must have made many promoters sh r off him nd look else where for someone to swell the boxoffice receipt Even old Father Time was against Bob who was nearly bald and middle-ged, pugilistically, before anyone of note even herd of him, yet Bob somehow turned all the: drawbacks into a. vets
He looked so foolish that no one gave him credit for being able to think, and as a result, he not only outfought Jim Corbett but caught him unawares with a punch that robbed the astonished Jim of the championship of the world before he had realised what had happened Those spindle legs were used by Bob merely as props, while he employed a mighty pair of shoulders and arms full time, and s for his chin he perfected such a guard for it that the surest and hardest punchers that ever drew on a glove failed to land a KO blow on Bob: In well over a quarter of a century of boxing he was knocked out only a couple of times 'Griffo" was another freak, His disposition was such that not one fighter in a million would have failed to be ruined by it He absolutely neglected training burnt the candle at both ends, nd generally did all the unwise things possible, Yet this freak" is world acclaimed the levrst fighter of all time His attack wa like greased lightning and if his pponent was able to do anv attacking at all,

Q What feast is celebrated on the First Sunday after Pentecost?
A The Feast of the Most Holy Trin ity The Church, as it were, turns its gaze irom the history of man's Redemption and illumined by the light of supernatural faith, looks into the very depths of the Godhead,
Q How may we regard this special feast?
ul As the summation of all the feasts of the liturgical year; for our Redemption through Christ is the work of all Three Persons of the Blessed Trinity Father, Son and Holy Ghost
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Liv ing God who according to the will of Thy Father didst by Thy death through the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, give life to the world" (the sec ond prayer after the "Agnus Dei" of the Mass)
Q What are the chief characteristics of the Mass of this day?

A Though a votive Mass in honour of the Blessed Trinity had existed for some centuries before it was not until the 4th. century that the special feast in honour of the Blessed Trinitv was definitely established
Q What two other feasts vary with the date of Pentecost or rather of Easter?
A, The Feast of Corpus Christi, which falls upon the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, and the Feast of the Sacred Heart which falls on the Friday which follows the Octave day of Corpus Christi
Q What is particularly appropriate in the choice of the day on which the Feast of Corpus Christi falls?
A A Thursdav is chosen because Thursday is specially dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament; for it was on a Thursdav that the Blessed Sacrament was instituted Thursday after the
Thursday, May 16, 1940
Octave of Pentecost is chosen in order to afford the faithful an opportunity of celebrating in a special manner the institution of the Blessed Eucharist at the recurrence of that period of the year, when the Holy Ghost illumined the hearts of the disciples with a full knowledge of this wondrous mystery and when the faithful began to frequent the altar
Q What is the object of the Feast of Corpus Christi?
A To celebrate the institution of the Blessed Sacrament and to make re paration for the coldness and indiffer ence shown to Our Divine Lord preent upon our altars
The institution of the Blessed Sacrament is commemorated on Holy Thursday, which was once known as the "Ntalis Calicis" (the Birthday of the Chalice), but its commemoration became overshadowed by the conse ration of the oils and the other cere monies of that day Again, to quote the Encyclical of Pius XI "Quas Primas.," referring to the time of th institution of this feast: "It was time when reverence and devotion t the BI ·d Sacrament had grown cold, and the feast was instituted that men might be brought once more to render public homage to the Lord"

Naturally enough, war brings a change of conditions Deeds are committed in flagrant violation of the treditions of the sea, Yet while you and I may describe the perpetrators as "murderers," the sailor will often find an excuse for them He will tell you that they are not genuine mariners at all but tools in the grip of a wicked political regime
The traditions and virtues of the sailor were not made yesterday They have been moulded through the course of centuries and Catholics have played a tremendous if not a predominant part in shaping them The sea has always attracted Catholics, and in these days there is scarcely one British sbip afloat without some Catholics in her crew Many British ships, in fact, have a large Catholic complement, and this is as true of the Navy as it is of the Merchant Service
You will find Catholics as skippers, officers, engineers, seamen and firemen, and only those who have served at sea can appreciate the influence that good Catholics can have on their shipmates, The vast majority of seagoing Catholics are kindly generous men who seem to have acquired their virtues by the cleansing effects of salt water There is something about the wide spaciousness of the seas which gives a freedom of cutlook and of judgmentand what Catholic can get so near to the handiwork of God without some spiritual benefit?

"ELECTION YEAR FOLLIES OF 1940' HAS ITS PREMIER
St Louis, U SA
Father Lord's third annual musical revue had its premier presentation at St, Louis University Auditorium En titled "Election Year Follies of 1940,' it has a cast of several hundred entertainers. It is said to be the only community theatrical enterprise in which songs, music and sketches are written by the producer, the Rev Daniel A Lord, SJ , editor of "The Queen's Work" and national sodality director
With politics, democracy, and patriotism the themes, the 20-act musical satire strikes serious notes in two pretentious ballets, also written by Father Lord. One, "The Making of the Flag," concludes with a stage full of dancers iorming a living American flag The other, The Sermon on the Mount," interprets the development of democracy from ancient slavery days to the present The skits poke good-natured fun at census taking, criticism of the Supreme Court, political promises at election time, and a national political convention The activities of Stalin, Hitler and Goering are utilised to emphasise the blessings of the American form of government Members of the cast were recruited chiefly from Catholic high schools and colleges in this area, Father Lord's previous efforts in musical revues were Social Order Pollies" and Matrimonia! Follies of 1939 "
St.
Gemma
Saint Gemma Galgani, were she alive today, would still be a year younger than the Pope who canonised her on May 2
She died on April 11, 1903, a month after her 25th birthday And now hundreds of people who knew her in her own lifetime will be able to call her St Gemma
"The name given her in baptism," said her spiritual director and biographer the Passionist Father Germanus, "seemed providential; for she was destined to give lustre to her family by the splendour of her virtues, and to shine as a brilliant gem in the Church oi God "
Her father, a chemist, and mother were exceptionally good Catholics Enrico Galgani belonged to the family of Blessed Giovanni Leonardi, and his wife, Aurelia, to the noble house of Landi Signora Galgani died at the age of 38
Gemma was her parents' first daughter and fourth child She had three elder brothers and one younger and three sisters All but three of the children died in their youth
From the very first as a tiny child she gave herself entirely to Our Lord
At the age of seven she received Confirmation: and even then she was praying to die and go to Heaven with her mother Her own insistence ob° liged her confessor, Father Volpi, to allow her to receive Holy Communion at the age of nine two or three years before the normal time
Heights ot Virtue
By the age of 13, Father Germanus relates she had already surmounted the heights of virtue that others are scarcely able to reach after long years of assiduous labour" Remarkable also in one of her age she had also experienced, for as long as a year, 'that spiritual desolation called by ascetic writers the inner martyrdom " Her sanctity was not a burden to others She was a child who attracted unusually deep affection from both children and adults
Having left school at the age of 14, and her mother being dead, Gemma devoted herself at home to domestic affairs and to her brothers and sisters Trouble soon came upon her Her family was fairly well to do and she was often giving food clothes and money to the poor, After a time this was forbidden Gemma in her grief at being unable to help poor people who approached her in the street, resolved never to eave the house Then this was forbidden: her father made her go out, Next she learned that an army officer had, unknown to her, taken to following her This pained her intensely; having given herself entirely to Our Lord she had declined to be carsessed even by her father Hearing of this latest trouble, Signor Galgani permitted her to stay at home always, leaving only to go to the adjoining church
Day by lay her sanctity increased; her prayer and meditation were continual At eighteen," writes Father Germanus, "she was found worthy not only to hear the voice of Jesus but to gaze at and talk to Him." Holy Communion and supernatural experiences brought her intense joy, but these came more and more to be accompanied by mental and physical sufferings Her mother had died from tuber culosis and the same disease killed two of the children, one of them Gemma's greatly loved brother Gino Next, cancer carried away her father; and with his death the remaining children, hitherto comfortably off, found themselves penniless,
STIGMATA
From this point the story of Gemma Galgani overshadows even her previous amazing experiences Father Germanus tells of her instantaneous cure from an illnesswhich had been rapidly killing her; of a novena she made with recently-beatifed Passionist Blessed Gabriel of the Dolours; of yet more and frequent visions and conversations with Our Lady and with Our Lord Himself
Her freedom from physical pain was short-lived Her sudden cure had occurred in March 1899 (she was then
Galgani
just on 21) Three months later on June 8, she received in her hands and feet the marks and pains of the stigmata
Her intense devotion to the Passion of Our Lord caused her to plead for more suffering and in 1901 Gemma was numbered among the very few who, in the words of Father Germanus, have had the privilege of "participating not only in the five wounds of His Crucifixion, but in all the torments f His Passion"
Cardinal Gasquet wrote in his introduction to Father Germanus book:
'Perhaps the most extraordinary marks of Our Lord's suffengs which the saintly girl bore on her flesh were those of the terrible sco rgin; at the Pillar These marks on her body are described by many witnesses as fearful to behold: great gashes appeared in the flesh of her body, oa her legs and arms, as if they had r·ally been torn open, in places even to he very bone, by the loaded whips cf th soldier as in the case of Our Lord
Her mortal sickness began at Pentecost in 1902
For 60 days she endured starvation There was a respite during which she was restored to full strength but after 20 days her intense suffering began again; and since some doctors believed that she was now suffering from the disease which had killed other members of the family, she had to endure deeply-felt separation from her remaining brothers and sisters
Gemma's hast days were intensely distressing The evil spirit," writes Father Germanus. "disturbed her imagination with every sort of fantasy apt to excite anxiety, sadness, disgust, and fear She went through all the Commandments the deadly sins and the duties of her state, making herself out to be guilty of the greatest crimes"
Day by day her sanctity increased; than the fiend caused it to appear covered with disgusting insects and with the most repulsive thin imaginable Horrible and fetid animals came into her bed.
"Wasted by the violence of her disease; crushed under the weight of im mense desolation; tormented in all her
"Another half-hour pas :d, Gemma is seated on her bed, her head resting on the shoulder of one her benefactresses. , The nursing siter and all the members of the family are standing around contemplating the affecting scene Gemma seems absorbed in peaceful thought Then quite suddenly, whil all eyes are fixed on her angelic face still beautiful despite the ravages of such a sickness ·he smiled a heavenly smile, and lettin; her head drop on one side ceased t liv just as the Gospel tells of ur Redemer on the Cross: "Et in linat :apit tradidit Spiritum' "
Seven years later the archiepiscopal court of Lucca instituted an inquiry into the truth of her reputation for sanctity; and on May 14, 1933, in the presence of a multitude gathered in St Peter's, Gemma Galgani by the authority of Pope Pius XI, was solemnly declared Blessed.
Halo of Stars' was Photographed with
