He who Indicated His belov ed will through the consensus of our venerable brothers, the fathers of the Sacred College, entrusting to Us the care and responsibility of Holy Church, will know how to instill into Our mind, full of trepidation for the vastness of the task Imposed, vigilant and serene strength, untiring zeal for His glory, missionary earnestness for the universal, clear and persuasive propagation of the Gospel. AT THE outset of Our pon tifical ministry the memory of Our predecessors returns ten derly and pleasantly to Our mind. They left to Us a sac red, spiritual and glorious he ritage: Pius XI and his un conquerable strength of mind; Plus XII, who illuminated the Church with the light of a teach ing full of wisdom; and finally John XXIII, who gave to the world the example of his sin gular goodness. But We wish to recall in a very special way, with grateful and deeply-moved reverence, the figure of the mourned John XXIII who in the brief but high ly intense span of his ministry knew how to win over to him self the hearts of men, even those who are far away, through his sleepless solicitude, his sincere and concrete kindness toward the lowly and the out standing pastoral character of his actions, qualities to which were added die very special en chantment of die human gifts of his great heart. He gave his warmth to souls like a flame burning brighter and brighter, unto the extreme sacrifice to himself, borne with a strength of mind that moved the world and gathered, as it were, all men around his bed of pain, making them "one heart and one mind" in one single pulsation of respect, of vene ration and of prayer. THE HERITAGE We have garnered from Our predeces sors shows Us the full gravity of the duty that lies before Us. These are the words of Our pre decessor St. Leo the Great: "As We reflect on the poverty of Our smallness and on the magnitude of the task We have MOVING?

The pre-eminent part of Our pontificate will be the continua tion of the Second Vatican Ecu menical Council, on which are fixed the eyes of all men of Good will. This will be the principal task for which We in tend to spend all the energies which die Lord has given to Us, in order that the Catholic Church, which shines in the world as the standard raised over far-off nations (cfr. Is alas 5, 26) may attract all men to itself, through the majesty of its organism, through the youth fulness of its spirit, through the renovation of its structure and through die multiplicity of its forces "out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation** (Apoc. 5, 9). THIS WILL be the first thought of the pontifical minis try: that it may be proclaimed ever louder before the world that only in the Gospel of Jesus can the longed-for salvation be Archbishop 9 s Note Book For a bishop today, the time required outside his diocese, can become a major cross. Because of the Vatican Council, four of my first fourteen months in Atlanta were spent in Rome. Some time must be spent in larger dioceses, taking up collect ions for our missions; official visits to other parts of our Pro vince; duties on various committees connected with the work of the Church in the United States - the Newman Apostolate, Latin America, Race and Religion, etc. The NOTEBOOK is intended to keep our readers informed of the whereabouts, of the archbishop, especially in the visits to our own churches and missions in the 72 Georgia counties that make up the archdiocese. It will briefly recount visits of the past two weeks, and give the coming schedule. Its importance should lie chiefly in the mounting evidence that this archdiocese is teeming with all kinds of Catholic energy. This is open season for begging bishops. On June 9, the people of St. Thomas More Church, Cleveland, and on June 16, those of St. Edward’s in Philadelphia, gave very generously for our missions. In speaking at all the Masses, I forego the "tattered cassock" approach, and try to put the facts on the line: In most of our counties, there Is no church or school. Through the sacri fices of the 20 or 30 families there, plus your generosity In the "Georgia Mission" appeal, plus national mission funds, a chapel can be started. But we need help. Most Catholics are generous, especially the little girl in Philadelphia who brought in a jar with $8.57 in pennies. On June 20, for a two-day look, we drove up to the northwest corner of the diocese where four Verona Fathers are laboring in 14 counties. The church in Toccoa stands proudly by its shrine; we looked at some property, for a possible building In Clarks ville, with Father Gino Dominey F. S. C. J. Then to Washington where a shrine of the Sacred Heart was to be blessed on a site gratefully remembered in the cemetery markers of the 19th century Catholic pioneers who brought the faith to this area. Father Walter Mattiato, F. S. C. J. and his parishioners had a beautiful altar to be consecrated in Elberton. I made the mistake of referring to it as marble, which Is almost like asking for tea in Brazil. It was granite, right from Elberton’s famed quarries. In and around Atlanta, I saw the exciting prospects of Pius X new athletic field with Father James Harrison and his ener getic lay group; and the site of the proposed construction at D’Youvllle Academy with Slater M. Raphael; addressed the flour ishing K. of C. Council, 4420 at Ben Hill; gave the invocation for the Advertising Federation of America at the Biltmore (and ex changed some stories with the Speaker, Ed. Murrow): and Satur day, learned at a Board Meeting of the Cancer Home that of the patients cared for this past year 33 were Catholics, 292 were not. This week began with Adult Confirmation at the Cathedral, when 267 Catholics from all the city parishes were confirmed. Coming up: Another collection In Cleveland, June 30: A luncheon with a group of faculty members from Georgia Tech, June 25, and a meeting with Atlanta religious leaders on Race and Religion, June 28. Meanwhile, plans are being formulated for the new convent at Our Lady of Lourdes and the great un dertaking of the new Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Men- "Operation Understanding." jy^ imC. ^ 46* ■ PAUL J. HALLINAN ARCHBISHOP OF ATLANTA found, "for there is no other name under Heaven given to men by which we must be sav ed" (Acts 4, 12). Under this light comes the work for the revision of the Code of Canon Law, continued efforts along the lines traced in the great social encyclicals of Our predecessors for die strengthening of justice in civil, social and international life, in truth and in liberty, and in respect for mutual duties and rights. The unequivocal order of Jove of neighbor, which is the acid test of love of God, demands of all men a fairer solution to social problems. It requires farseeing action and care for underdeveloped countries, where the standard of living is often unworthy of the human being. It calls for a voluntary study on a universal scale for the betterment of living condi tions. The new epoch, which the conquests of space have opened to mankind, will be sin gularly blessed by the Lord if men truly know how to recog nize each other as brothers ra ther than as rivals, and build a world order in the holy fear of God, in respect for His laws, in die gentle light of charity and mutual collaboration. OUR WORK, with the help of God, moreover, will be to make every effort to preserve the great blessing of peace among nations— a peace which is not only the absence of warlike ri valries or of armed clashes, but a reflection of the order desired by God the Creator and Redeemer, a constructive and tenacious will for understand ing and brotherhood, an unshak able display of good will ready for every trial, the uninterrup ted desire for active harmony, inspired by the true good of mankind with unfeigned chari ty. At this moment when the whole of humanity looks toward this Chair of Truth, and toward the person who has been called upon to represent the Divine Sa viour on earth, We can but re new the appeal for loyal, frank and ready understanding which may unite men in mutual and sincere respect. We can but re new an invitation to make every effort for the saving of humani ty, for favoring the peaceful development of the rights given to it by God and facilitating its spiritual and religious life so that it may be led to a more ar dent and conscious adoration of the Creator. Encouraging signs that come to us from men of good will are not wanting. We thank the Lord deeply for this, while offering to all Our serene but firm col laboration in maintaining the great gift of peace In the world. FINALLY, Our pontifical service will be to continue with every effort the great work be gun with so much hope and happy omen by Our predecessor John XXIII for the fulfillment of that "unum sint" (That they may be one) (John 17, 21) awaited so much by all and for which he offered his life. The common aspiration for the reestablish ment of unity, broken so pain fully in the past, will find in Us the echo of a fervent will and of sincere prayers, in the consciousness of the office committeed to Us by Jesus: "Simon, Simon..., I have pray ed for thee that thy faith may not fail. And do thou strengthen thy brethern.” (Luke 22, 31-32). We open Our arms to all those people who glory in the name of Christ. We call them by the sweet name of brothers. May they know that they will find in Us constant unders und ing and good will, that they will find in Rome the paternal house that exalts and values with new splendor the treasures of their history, of their cultural patri mony, of their spiritual herit age. Venerable Brothers and be loved sons I The vastness of the task that awaits Our poor energies is such as to bewilder the humble priest called to the heights of the Supreme Keys. But We will dedicate to you Our prayers and Our daily efforts. We need, nonetheless, your collaboration and your prayers, that it may rise constantly to God "in fra grant odor" (Ephesians, 5, 2) for the pastor of the Universal Church. That is why Our heartfelt gratitude and thoughts go out toward the sons of the Catholic Church, who offer to the world the testimony of their faith, the spectacle of their unity, the regal splendor of their dignity, since in the words of Clement of Alexandria: "The disciples of Christ are kings by virtue of Christ the King." (Clem. Al., Strom. XI, 4, 18, 3) WE SALUTE above all the most worthy members of the Sacred College, who shared with Us the trepidation and prayer of these days of waiting. We testi fy to Our special benevolence for the Venerable Brothers of the episcopate, East and West, who on all continents "are act ing as ambassadors, God, as it were, appealing through us" (II Corinthians 5, 20) and We are already foretasting the joy of embracing them all at the second session of the ecumeni cal council. We wish to express in a spe cial way Our esteem for the Roman curia, whose task, so distinguished and full of re sponsibilities, is to collaborate at such close quarters with the Vicar of Christ. We are certain that its most worthy work will be of genuine assistance to Us, for We have for a long time had direct knowledge of its dili gence, its "sense of the Church," its prudence in acting, and, together with all the bis hops, We appreciated it more especially during die prepara tory phase and during die actual meeting of die Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. We turn then with fatherly spirit to the pastors, to the priests, to the religious who un tiringly and silently, oftenwith- out help in their solitude, devpte their lives to the propagation of the Kingdom or God on earth. Neither do We forget the souls consecrated to God in prayerful Immolation and in manifold ac tive charity. AT THE beginning of this pontifical task, which is en trusted to the successor of St. Peter in his capacity as Bishop of Rome, We cannot fail to turn with affectionate embrace to ward the beloved sons of the Diocese of Rome, who have sup ported with so much eagerness the pastoral undertakings of Our predecessor. And We firm ly trust that, responding to Our charity with their own charity, they may continue to offer joy ful fruits of virtue, since it is toward them as the people who are close to the Chair of Peter that the eyes of the Catholics of the entire world are turned. Moved by tender memories. We send a greeting full of very special affection to the beloved faithful of die Ambrosian arch diocese, whom in these years we have loved "in die heart of Christ Jesus" (Phil. 1, 8) and from whom We received so much comfort as from the most loving sons. In the same way Our thoughts go also to the beloved diocese of Our birth with the wish that it may remain always faithful to the Gospel of Our Lord, which provides honor and grace and nobility even in the human re lations of life. We particularly desire that Our brothers and sons in those parts of die world where the Church Is prevented from ex ercising its rights should feel Us close to them. They have been called upon to share more Intimately the Cross of Jesus, which will be followed. We are sure, by the radiant dawn of Resurrection. They will be able to return finally to the full prac tice of their pastoral ministry which, through its institution, is for the benefit not only of in dividual souls, but also of the nations where it is carried out. May there pass over the world a great flame of faith and love that will fire all men of good will, that will Illuminate the roads of mutual collaboration and bring to humanity again and always an abundance of divine approval and the strength of God, without whose help noth ing Is worthwhile and nothing Is holy. In the act of beginning Our grave ministry, We are sus tained by the comforting words with which Christ promised Pe ter sad his successors that He would remain with His Church "unto the consummation of the world" (Matt. 28, 20). IT IS DEAR to Us moreover to encourage and bless with great heart the very beloved missionaries, the light of Our eyes, who on all continents, in the outposts of the Church spread the Gospel of Jesus. May they always "glory...in the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ*’ (Gal. 6, 14), bearing with love all eventualities and certain that the help at Godwill never be wanting to those who live and work only for Him. We turn with very special praise to the members of Ca tholic Action, who help the Church’s hierarchy in the apos tolate, and to those who work in die various organizations both national and international. We embrace then with father ly love all who suffer: the sick, the poor, die prisoners and the exiles, the refugees. And finally We salute Our sons in Christ, among whom We wish to mention especially the bold and generous young people, in whom rests sure hope for a better future, the innocent chil dren, the pure and simple souls; die humble and die great of the earth; all craftsmen and la borers, those whose toil, often heavy and burdensome, We know and appreciate so much; men of culture and of study, of teach ing and of science, newsmen and writers; politicians and heads of state. We pray that all, each in his own sphere of responsibi lity, may give his contribution toward building an order ever more just in its principles more efficacious in the application of its laws, sounder in private and public morals, more prompt in the defense of peace. WE ARE sustained by the mo therly protection of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Our mother, to whom We entrust Our pontificate from its beginning, and also by the help and die prayers of the Apostles Peter and Paul and of all die saints. In pledge of this heavenly assistance, and for the joyful encouragement of the good energies spread throughout the world, We are happy to impart to you as the first fruit of Our paternal benevolence. Vener able Brothers and beloved sons, and to the whole human family, Our Apostolic Blessing. In the name of the Lord: Let us move ahead in peace. J.
