Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons and Addresses of His Eminence William Cardinal O'connell, Archbishop of Boston, Vol. 6 But, consoling as this anniversary always is, it is doubly so in these sad and trying times when the world is given over to war. Throughout Christendom, suffering untold agonies, are millions unknown to the great world at large. Not only are hosts of armed men enduring privation, pain and death in the field, but countless women and children are enduring all that human nature can bear in ravaged lands and even in countries as yet spared the shock and carnage of hostile inroads. God alone knows how long this state of things may continue. Certainly the rulers of nations and the governments seem to know very little about the time when this terrible tragedy will cease.
