protest against persecution and a
word of consolation to all who
suffer. A year ago our thoughts
were with the persecuted of East
ern Europe, long afflicted and
much tried. Today we add to these
the people of Vietnam and its
neighbor nations who most recent
ly have come upon days of disas
ter and now face the persecution
so often known-in the Church of
Christ.
We cannot end this meeting
which has been held in the
freedom of our beloved country
without a plea to all who love
justice and hate iniquity that they
will stand with us in prayer and
in protest: in prayer for the af-
licted; in protest against misuse
of power. For we cannot be so
blind as to imagine that Asia or
Europe stands alone. Rather there
seems to be a master plan of
oppression, world wide. In it,
we of America are included by
intent as others elsewhere are
included in grim reality.
The grim reality is that men
are in prison, men are broken,
families live in fear or are dis
rupted, nations are threatened or
under attack. The grim reality
is that such oppression is an at
tempt to break men’s faith in God
or to divide men from their Savior
or their Church.
We pray then that God will
restrain the tyrant and relieve
the anguish of the afflicted. We
beg our Catholic people to cherish
well the blessings of freedom
they enjoy and to pray fervently
for those whose freedom has been
lost or is in danger.
We beg our neighbors—all of
them in the United States, all
to whom the blessings of our liber
ties here are a cherished heritage
—that by our united prayers, our
sympathetic understanding and
by action (as far as action lies
within our power) we may give
comfort to those who are tortured
in body or in spirit, and that
the power of God Will quickly
restore to them in justice the
freedom which their souls crave
and their nature demands.
