EISENHOWER ENDS CAREER
WITH PRAYER FOR PEACE
WASHINGTON, (NC) —
Dwight Eisenhower ended 50
years of public service with a
prayCr that all people will be
able to live together in peace
based on mutual respect and
love.
The former Chief Executive,
who opened both his inaugu
ral ceremonies with a prayer
and frequently began Cabinet
sessions with a moment of sil
ent braver, ended his farewell
address to the nation on radio
and TV with a petition to God.
Mr. Eisenhower, a Presby
terian, delivered this prayer:
“We pray that peonies of all
faiths, all races, all nations
may have their great human
needs satisfied; that those now
denied opoortunity shall come
to enjoy it to the full; that all
those who yearn for freedom
may experiencee its spiritual
blessings; that those who have
freedom* will understand, also,
its heavy responsibilities; that
all who are insensitive to the
needs of others will learn cha
rity; that the scourges of pov
erty, disease, and ignorance
will be made to disappear
from the earth, and that, in
the godness of time, all peoples
will come to live together in
a peace guaranteed by the
binding force of mutual re
spect and love.”
Mr. Eisenhower’s frequent
inclusion of prayer in his pub
lic addresses as President be
gan with a “little prayer of my
own” he recited before begin
ning his Inaugural Address on
January 20, 1953, the start of
his first term as Chief Execu
tive. .
He prayed then that God
will make complete the dedi
cation of himself and his asso
ciates in being of service to
the public.
“Give us, we pray, the pow-
ters, Mrs. J. M. Toomey, De
catur; Mrs. Frank Kline, St.
Paul, Minn., and Sister M.
Agnese, Oak Park, Ill.’, three
grandchildren and five great
grandchildren.

Cardinal Ritter's Titular
Church Has Original Painting
Of Our Lady Of Perpetual Help
By James C. O'Neill
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
ROME — The titular church
assigned to Joseph Cardinal
Ritter, Archbishop of St.
Louis, houses the original por
trait of O.ur Lady of Perpetual
Help.
Yet few Catholics who come
to Rome know that the origi
nal Greek painting of the Ma
donna is located in the Church
of St. Alphonsus Liguori, al
though the church is located
on the busy shopping street of
Via Merulana.
And many Catholics who
know that the painting is
somewhere in Rome have left
the city without visiting the
shrine of the Madonna because
they cannot find mention of it
in most guide books.
There is no conspiracy to
keep Our Lady of Perpetual
Help in the dark. On the con
trary, the Redemptorist Fath
ers, in whose church she is
venerated, have popularized
devotion to her all over the
world. .
Most popular guide books
pass ■ over the church because
it was built only 100 years ago
and cannot compete with the
architectural and artistic won
ders of Rome’s older churches.
Its nearest neighbors include
the mighty basilica of St. Mary
Major and the rich church of
St. Praxedes.
The few guide books that do
mention the shrine of the Ma
donna generally list it under
the name of St. Alphonsus,
founder of the Redemptorist
congregation, instead of under
the title of Our Lady of Per
petual Help. Unless a visitor
is well informed, he will prob
ably leave Rome without pay
ing a visit to the shrine. Yet
the shrine and church are well
worth a visit.
St. Alphonsus Liguori
church was built by the Re
demptorist Fathers and was
consecrated in 1859. It was vis
ited often by St. John Bosco,
St. Anthony Claret and Bless
ed Julian Eymard.
During the First Vatican
Council many of the cardinals
and bishops who favored dec
laration of the Pope’s infalli
bility gathered in the church
for extra sessions, led by Card
inal Manning of England. His
Holiness Pope John XXIII of
ten visited the church to meet
his spiritual director, a Re
demptorist.
The church contains some
handsome frescoes and is set
back from the street so that a
feeling of peace and medita
tion is easily experienced. The
portrait of Our Lady of Per
petual Help is above the main
altra and immediately catches
the attention of any one enter
ing the church.
The history of the painting
is ancient. Art experts believe
it is a Byzantine work of the
12th or 13th century. In the
15th century it was venerated
on the island of Crete until it
was stolen by a merchant who
carried it to Rome.
DR. TOM DOOLEY WROTE
OF “MILDER STORM OF
PEACE” AS DEATH NEARED
HUNTINGTON, Ind. (NC)—
Dr. Thomas Dooley described
“a milder story of peace”
which replaced “the storm
around me” and “the winds
within me” in a letter written
from a Hong Kong hospital
bed some six weeks before his
death.
Reproduced in the current
(Jan. 29) issue of Our Sunday
Visitor, national Catholic
weekly published here, the let
ter was written last Decem
ber 2 to Father Theodore M.
Hesbuf&h, C.S.C., president of
the University of Notre Dame.
The doctor was an alumnus of
the university.
The “jungle doctor of Laos,”
said in the letter that his can
cer Was “acting up” and
“they’ve got me down,” but
only with the assistance of
“plaster, sand bags and hot
water bottles.” He said he had
experienced “monstrous phan
toms” which he tried “to ex
ercise with all the fury of
the middle ages.”
In recognizing benefits of
the “milder storm of peace,”
Dr. Dooley Wrote:
“What seems unpossessable,
I can possess. What seems un
fathomable, I can fathom.
What is unutterable, I can ut
ter. Because I can pray. I can
communicate. How do people
endure anything on earth if
they cannot have God?”
Dr. Dooley wrote of his ap
preciation for the replica of
the Grotto of Lourdes, France,
at the University of Notre
Dame. He said: “If I could go
to the grotto now, then I think
I could sing inside. I could
be full of faith and poetry and
loveliness and know more
beauty, tenderness and com
passion.”
Unashamed of what he call
ed “soggy sentimentalism”
over the Notre Dame shrine,
the 34-year-old physician not
ed that “old prayers from a
hospital bed are just as pleas
ing to God as more youthful
prayer from a grotto.”
He wondered if “the stu
dents ever appreciate what
they have, while they have it,”
admitting that he “never did.”

After a number of adven
tures, it was finally placed in
the church of St. Matthew the
Apostle on March 27, 1499.
This church was destroyed by
Napoleon in 1799. Later it was
transferred to the Church of
Santa Maria in Posterula.
Here it remained obscure, de
spite a long history of mira
cles, until the Redemptorists
came to Rome to establish
their headquarters.
The Redemptorists took over
a villa located near the old site
of the destroyed church of St.
Matthew. When they learned
of the history of the picture
which had been housed in the
church 300 years, they peti
tioned Pope Pius IX to have
the portrait returned. The
Pope agreed and the painting
was carried in procession to
the church of St. Alphonsus on
April 26, 1866.
It has been only in the past
100 years that worldwide ven
eration of Our Lady of Per
petual Help has become pop
ular. It is expected that this
devotion will increase greatly
in the coming years, because
the painting of Our Lady of
Perpetual Help is identical to
one of Russia’s most venerat
ed icons, Our Lady of the
Passion.
Pope Leo XIII authorized
devotion to her for the return
of the separated Oriental
Christians to the unity of the
Church. Popes St. Pius X,
Benedict XIV and Pius XI all
encouraged devotion to her.
Pope Pius XI, in fact, had all
packages sent to Russia by the
Pontifical Pontifical Relief
Mission stamped with pictures
of Our Lady of Perpetual Help
and marked with the words
“The Pope of Rome to his sons
of Russia.”
George Washington is said to have pitched a silver
dollar all the way across the Rappahannock river.
But young George’s dollar wasn’t in the same class
with those you spend for electric service.
Your electric dollars go further than any other
dollars you spend. They work miracles Washington
never dreamed of, yet save you work, time, and money.
If he were alive today, George would think twice
before he threw away a dollar that valuable.
