Tuceli (Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service) VATICAN CITY — “If there is a succession of wars and re volts from one end of the earth to the other ... it is a sign that something has been taken away from the clarifying and enrich ing purpose of the Light of God.” In these clear terms the su preme head of Christendom, His Holiness Pope Pius XII, spelled out the causes of war and their solution in his Easter message to the world. In swift, bold strokes he told the story of mankind from the dawn of creation to the pres ent, showing the thread of the Divine Light of God interwov en through all: Out of the formless chaos of creation light first issued forth and was given a place at the initial stage of all arrangement and ornament. The light of Christ was “the first element, productive and indispensible, of the new order restored by the Son of God.” To his first followers Christ said “You are the light of the world,” and he gave them their mission which was to let their light shine before all men. All this, said the Pontiff, means that “only through Christ and in Christ will man achieve his personal perfection; through Him his works will be truly alive, his relations with his fel low men and with creatures well-ordered, his worthy aspira tions satisfied. In a word, through Christ and from Christ, man will have fulness and per fection of life even before there arise on the horizons of eternity a new heaven and a new earth. “Hence, just as ’without Him was made nothing that was made’ and ‘in Him was life and the life was the light,’ so it is not possible to have the gift of truth, goodness and harmony, in life without its having its ori gin with Christ as the Master, Sustainer and Model of men.” The Popes’ discourse clearly pointed an accusing finger at the godless ideologies as well as the godless ways into which men have fallen as the cause for war and suffering in the world. If men, he said, would only acknowledge that Christ is “the Light of the World” there would be much life and peace and hope to blossom on this earth. “On the other hand, if private tragedies wound their (men’s) spirits, if skepticism and vani ty wither so many hearts, if falsehood becomes a weapon in debate, if hatred flares up be tween classes and peoples, if there is a succession of wars and revolts from one end of the earth to the other, if crimes are committed, the weak op pressed, the innocent, placed in chains, if the laws are inade quate and the ways of peace ob structed — in a word, if this vale of ours is still furrowed by rivers of tears in spite of the marvels effected by the wis dom and culture of modern man — it is a sign that some thing has been taken away from the clarifying and enriching purpose of the light of God:” Therefore, said the Pope, the splendor of the Resurrection should be an invitation to men to put the light of Christ back in the world, to make all souls and bodies, peoples and states, laws and plans for the future conform to His teachings and designs. This light, (so necessary to man’s welfare in his peaceful existence, is to be found in “the Church founded and assist ed by Christ (which) is the de pository of His light.” “To this ‘city set on a moun tain’ Christ has entrusted ‘the world of prophecy, surer still, to which you do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place.’ ” As though he had not made extremely clear what he was saying to the world, the Pope defined his terms even more precisely. This light which now shines down on the world, he said, “. . . is the vigilant care of the Church concerning doc trine, its diligence in spreading and defending the truth, its prudent deliberations with re gard to novelty and change, its impartiality in disputes be tween classes and nations, its steadfastness in protecting the rights of individuals, its fear lessness when confronted by the enemies of God and of society. Were it not for this light, which he had just defined, were it not for the Church’s guardi anship of truth, the Pope said the world would long ago have fallen into a hopeless state for even now “in spite of the mar vels effected by the wisdom and culture of modern man” no ■peace has been found. But Christ made men sharers in His light, he stated, and gave them a mission saying “You are the light of the world,” at the same time imposing a grave re sponsibility on them when he said “So let your light shine be fore men in order that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” No other good works, said the pope, could be more usefully performed by Christians today than “the promotion with all their resources of the firm res toration of a just peace.” “Sincerity in willing peace, promptness in the complete dis charge of all reasonable sacri fices which it demands, honesty in discussing its problems, ought of their nature to scatter the shadows of distrust. But if — which God forbid — that should not happen it would finally be known to whom should be at tributed the responsibility for the existing disharmony.” There was little doubt that he was pointing to the godless of the world powers as the cul pable parties if present attempts at preserving peace should fail. But along with this solemn note the Vicar of Christ gave this final exhortation and comfort ing assurance: “Be therefore lights of peace in this darkened world, and in every issue, God will be on your side.” Easter morning in Rome had dawned with skies threatening of rain ,as they had been on Holy Saturday. But Romans gave their customary assurance: “The sun will shine. It always does for the Pope.” And it did. As thousands -— an estimated 200,000 — began to fill St. Pet er’s Square, the skies cleared and brilliant sunlight fell on the colorful throng dressed in Easter finery. Inside the basilica, a Solemn Mass was celebrated by His Em inence Federico Cardinal Tede- schini, Archpriest of the Bas ilica, at an early hour. As it ended a second Solemn Mass was begun by Archbishop Luigi Traglia, Vicegerent of Rome, at an altar erected on the front steps outside the basilica. On either side of the outdoor altar the Palatine Guard of Honor stood in formation. Sem inarians of Rome’s major semi nary chanted the responses of the Mass. The Palatine Guard band played hymns and the ga thering crowd joined in the singing. The crowd was composed of a mixture of tourists and pilgrims from every part of the world. Walking through this crowd a person could hear many lang uages — German, French, Span ish, English and others not rec ognizable. Various groups carried ban ners identifying their origin. Some were from parishes in Rome and others were national groups. Germans were particu larly numerous. Exactly at midday, the Pope appeared on the center balcony over the main door of the basil ica facing St. Peter’s Square. He was dressed in a mozzetta and a white silk stole. As soon as he appeared a deafening roar rose up from the crowd. The Pontiff, a white figure set in relief by wine- colored drapes behind, gave his customary sign of greeting, a gentle waving of the hands — palms turned inward as though he were drawing them all to his heart. The Pope spoke his brief mes sage in a strong, clear voice. When it was finished the throng burst into cheering again and fell into silence only when the Pope gave the sign that he would impart his “Urbi et Orbi” FOREST PARK BEAUTY SHOP PO. 7-4222 1254 Main Street Forest Park, Ga.
