We desire to assure you of our gratitude for this, as for all the kind attentions offered us by the authorities during our journey. We would have our very first words give expression to the emotions we feel at seeing with our own eyes, and treading with our feet, this land where once lived the patriarchs, our fath ers in the Faith; this land where down through the cen turies there resounded the voice of the prophets speaking in the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: this land, fin ally and especially, which the presence of Jesus Christ bless ed and hallowed forever for all Christians, and, one might say, for the entire human race. Your Excellency knows, and God is our witness, that we are not inspired during this visit by any other motive than purely spiritual ones. We come as a pilgrim: We come to venerate the holy places: We come to pray. From this land, unique in all the world for the greatness of the events enacted in it, our humble supplication is raised toward God for all men, be lieving and unbelieving, and we- happily include the sons of the “people of the alliance,” whose part in the religious history of mankind can never be forgot ten. A pilgrim of peace, we pray before all else for the favor of man’s reconciliation with God, and that of true profound con cord among all men and all peoples. May God hear our prayer, since He has for us, asthepro- phet proclaims, “thoughts of peace and not of affliction.” May He deign to bestow upon today’s tormented world this in comparable gift, which echoes every page of Sacred Scripture, and in which we are happy to summarize our greeting, our prayers and our wishes: “sha- 1 lorn, shalom.” Parade— (Continued from Page 1) Mummers resisted.
