Julia Ward Howe was an American poet and a ctivist. She worked for the abolition of slavery, the vote for women, pri son reform, and world peace. She penned the stirring lyrics of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" to provide more suitable words for the melody "John Brown's Body."

The hymn went on to become the marching song of the N orth, just as "Dixie" became the marching song of the South. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

"The Spirit.... will lead you into all the truth." ~ Joh n 16:13

In 1858, a girl named Bernadette reported apparitions of Ma ry at a hillside in Lourdes, France.
Sick people visited the site and w ere cured. Over, 1,300 cures are well documented.

In the 1930s, A lexis Carrel, a skeptical New York surgeon and Nobel Prize winner, went t o Lourdes to investigate the claims. While there, he witnessed a girl bein g cured. He stood in silence, totally stunned. That night, he went for a long walk. Ending up in a church, he prayed:

"I still doubt... Bene ath... intellectual pride a smothered dream persists... the dream of believ ing."

He returned to his hotel and recorded his observations. In The Voyage of Lourdes, he describes what then happened:

"A n ew coolness penetrated the open window. I felt the serenity of nature enter my soul with gentle calm. All intellectual doubts had vanished." ~ Mar k Link, S.J.

"Those who declare publicly that they belong to me, I will do the same for them before my Father in heaven." ~ Matthew 10:32
The preacher at F.W. de Klerk's inauguration made a disturbing point. He said that the South African president had the awesome responsibility of dis cerning God's will and acting on it.
This planted a seed in de Kl erk's mind that grew and grew. Slowly, it led him to pursue the dismantlin g of the dehumanizing apartheid system and granting citizenship to 35 milli on blacks. de Klerk said later that he knew that in pursuing this unpopular policy he would be rejected by his own people, but this did not deter him . ~ Mark Link, S.J.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble them selves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then wil l I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and pr osperity .We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation ha s ever grown.

But we have forgotten God.

We have forgotten th e gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched a nd strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Intoxicate with unbroken success, we have b ecome too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace., too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, so confe...
