And in the midet of this uni. versal confusion and peril we feel and know that both Father. ly love and the Apostolic minis try demand of us that we should with all earnestness turn the thoughts of Christendom thith. er “whence cometh help”—to Christ, the Prince of Peace, and the most powerful mediator be tween God and man. We charge, therefore, the Catholics of the whole world to approach the throne of Grace and Mercy, each and all of them, and more especially the clergy, whose duty furthermore it will be to make in every parish, as their Bishops shall direct, public supplication so that the merci ful God may, as it were, be wearied with the prayers of His children and speedily remove the evil causes of war, giving to them who rule to think the thoughts of peace and not of affiiction, From the palace of the Vati. can, the second day of August, 1914, PIUS X.
