In that year His Holiness Pope John XXIII has left a mark on the Church that will endure forever. Quickly, in acts as vigorous and clear as the voice with which he first gave his blessing to the City and the World, Pope John set the tone of his pontificate. Almost his first act as Pope was to bestow his cardinal’s skullcap upon the monsignor who ceremonially handed him the white skullcap of the papa cy. He thereby signified his in tention of raising the monsi gnor to the College of Cardinals, and restored a custom in disuse for 50 years. He soon created 23 new car dinals and increased total mem bership of the Sacred College to 75. In 1586 Pope Sixtus V ■ GOING TO THE PICKRICK?! CEjLEBRATING 70 YEARS GETZ GETS ’EM!

The first public speech of his pontificate was an appeal to the world’s rulers to work for peace. Pope John was striking the keynote of his predecessor, Pius XII, the Pope of Peace. These three acts — acts re spectively of restoration, in novation and preservation — were indicative of the man’s temper and symbolic of his pon tificate. In the same speech in which he appealed for peace the Pope also urged all separated Chris tians to “return to the house of the common Father.” His lan guage had a fatherly warmth the world would soon learn was characteristic: “to these (non- Catholic Christians) We say We open Our heart most lovingly, and extend Our open arms.” The address also glowed with Pope John’s now familiar love for past associates, for places in which he worked and the See of Venice over which he ruled. Pope John was crowned No vember 4, seven days after his election. On November 24 he took formal possession of his cathedral, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. Four days later he inaugu rated the academic year of the Lateran University. This visit was the first of many he made to institutions preparing young men for the priesthood. Three days after visiting the Lateran University he celebrated his first papal Mass outside Vatican walls at the College of the Pro pagation of the Faith, a house of studies for foreign semina rians without their own na tional college in Rome. He soon paid a visit to the Pontifical Roman Seminary, where he sent students into uproarious laughter with stories of his own days there. Upon arising one morning he decided he would like to see the students of the Ethiopian College, the only seminary resi dence within Vatican City. That same day the Ethiopian semi narians strolled with the Pope through the Vatican gardens. A tone of astonishment in creasingly characterized news paper accounts of the Pope’s visits outside Vatican City. This did not escape the Pope him self, a systematic reader of newspapers. Why, he asked dur ing a Christmas visit to a Rome hospital, was the world sur prised? The only purpose of his visits, he said, was to. apply the teaching of the Gospels and carry out the 14 spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The next day, the Pope per formed a work of mercy that astonished the world even more: He visited the imprison ed. The director of Rome’s Re gina Coeli prison, when told that the pope was coming, shouted an incredulous “Who?” Television and newsreel cameras were set up to record what was perhaps, in the public eye, the most memorable event of Pope John’s first year in the papacy. From the well of the prison rotunda the Pope spoke to the 1,200 inmates. Some stood sev eral deep in front of the walls . and others watched through the bars of the cells that rose in four circular tiers up the in terior of the rotunda. “Well, I have come,” he said. “You have seen me. I have fixed my eyes on yours,; I have joined my heart to your heart.” He told the prisoners to write their loved ones and relay his promise to pray his Rosary and celebrate his Mass for the pris oners’ intentions. The Pope raised his hand in blessing. Twelve hundred pris oners knelt. Then a cheer went up that echoed with such vio lence inside the tower that at least one sound-recording appa ratus was unable to capture it without heavy distortion. A reporter said afterwards: “I never saw so many people crying in all my life. The Pope was crying. The governor of the prison was crying. The pris oners were crying. The guards, the priests, everybody was cry ing. I thought the place would dissolve in a flood of tears.” Less than a month after the prison visit Pope John sprang into the headlines again with a historic announcement: an ecu menical council of the Church’s ruling bishops and' other offi cials would be called. To a group of 17 cardinals at the Basilica of St. Paul-Out- side-the-Walls on January 25, feast of tke Conversion of St. Paul, the Pope said: Q - “We announce to you, in- , deed trembling a little with emotion but at the same time with humble resolution of in tention, the name and the pro posal of a two-fold celebration: a diocesan synod for the city (Rome) and an ecumenical coun cil for the Universal Church.” He continued: “They will lead happily to the desired and awaited up dating of the code of canon law, which should accompany and crown these two tests of the practical application of the pro visions of Church discipline.” q_ The Pope gave no date for the ecumenical council. But preparations for it began almost immediately. By early summer of 1959 more than 2,700 of the world’s ruling bishops, abbots and major religious superiors were instructed to submit their suggestions for the council’s agenda. By early autumn the suggestions had arrived at the Vatican, and the process of sift ing them began. Modern communications were expected to hurry the actual meeting of the council. The Pope indicated it would convene by 1961. A lapse of five years separated the first steps toward the last council, the Vatican Council, and its actual conven ing in 1869. Preparations for the proposed synod of the Rome diocese ad vanced so rapidly that it was expected to convene in the first months of 1960 or even earlier. The Pope, as Bishop of Rome, presided at meetings of the synod’s preparatory committees. He said he expected the Roman synod, a meeting of the dioce san clergy for the purpose of examining local Church prob lems, customs and discipline, to be a model for diocesan synods throughout the world. Of the reforms of canon law that will grow out of the ecu menical council and the synod, the Pope said that the present Code of Canon Law has been in force more than 40 years and it is now outdated on many questions. It must therefore be brought up to date to meet the needs and circumstances of present day life.” He explained a short time later: MARRIAGES JARDINA-LYONS -O AUGUSTA — Miss Mary Angela Lyons of Augusta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Aloysius Lyons of Augusta and Dr. Philip Michael Jardina of Atlanta and Boston, Mass., son of Mr. and Mrs. James Jos eph Jardina of Atlanta, were married October 17th at St. Mary’s-on-the-Hill Church, Rt.

Though the Church has great respect for what is an cient, beautiful and good, her first concern is souls. That is why the Church intends to give dioceses a better ecclesiastical and juridical structure.” One interesting byproduct of Pope John’s threefold an nouncement — worldwide coun cil, Roman synod, reform of canon law — was the reappear ance in news commentaries of the phrases “Pope of Transi tion” and “interim Pope.” But this time the words were not applied to Pope John, as they had been during the flurry of speculation surrounding his first days as Pope. They were re called in irony. Worldwide interest in the an nouncement was overwhelming, especially when the Pope made it clear a few days later that Christian unity was a foremost aim of the ecumenical council. Major secular newspapers in both hemispheres commented editorially on the forthcoming council. Dr. Charles Malik of Lebanon, then president of the United Nations General Assem bly and a member of the Greek Orthodox Church, said the coun cil could be “greater than any thing that has happened so far in this 20th century, or indeed in many a long century past.” Protestant and Orthodox reac tion was lively but cautious; for the most part it was cordial. During Lent Pope John re vived the ancient custom of pa pal participation in rites at Rome’s stational churches. On Sundays he walked in public processions through the streets of Rome to whatever church was singled out that day for special ceremonies. The popes had taken part in lenten stational ceremonies un til the 14th century, when they moved to Avignon, France. Af ter their return to Rome the practice fell into disuse. Weekly Calendar Of Feast Days (N. C. W. C. News Service) SUNDAY, November 1 — All Saints. In addition to the per sons whom the Church honors by special designation, or has inscribed on the Calendar of Saints, there are many whose names are not recorded. Pope Gregory IV, in the ninth cen tury, decreed that this feast should be kept by the Church in honor of all the Saints, named and nameless, known and unknown. MONDAY, November 2 — All Souls’ Day, which commemo rates all of the faithful departed. All Souls’ Day was introduced by St. Odilo, who lived in the 11th century and was abbot of the famous Benedictine Monas tery at Cluny, France. Subse quently the commemoration was extended throughout the Church, and by a decree of Pope Benedict XV all priests are permitted to offer three Masses on All Souls’ Day. TUESDAY, November 3 — St. Quartus, Confessor. He lived in the first century; he is men tioned by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans as “greeting the Christians in Rome.” Some tra ditions describe him as one of the 72 disciples, others add that he was a bishop. WEDNESDAY, November 4 St. Charles Borromeo, Bish op-Confessor. Scion of an an cient Lombard family, he was created a cardinal at the age of 22 and made Archbishop of his native Milan by his uncle, Pope Pius IV. In an age of lax disci pline, he was a model of austere virtue. He was largely responsi ble for the success of the Coun cil of Trent and for the adminis tration of the council’s decrees. Throughout Milan’s great plague, he remained in the city, constantly attending the sick and dying. He died in 1584 and his body was enshrined under the high altar in his cathedral. THURSDAY, November 5 — SS. Zachary and Elizabeth, par ents of St. John the Baptist. The opening passage of the Gos pel of St. Luke records the story of the Angel Gabriel ap pearing to Zachary and inform ing him that his wife, though advanced in years, would bear a child. Zachary was struck dumb until the angel’s prophecy was fulfilled. It was St. Eliza beth, a kinswoman of the Blessed Virgin, who at the Visi tation uttered the words which are now a part of the Hail Mary ■— “Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” FRIDAY, November 6 — St. Severius, Bishop-Martyr. He was Bishop of Barcelona in Spain and was put to death in 303 under Diocletian’s persecu tion. His martyrdom consisted of having his head pierced with a spike. SATURDAY, November 7 — St. Prosdocimus, Bishop-Con fessor. He was consecrated by St. Peter as the first Bishop of Padua, Italy, where he con verted a multitude of Pagans. He died about 100.
