| Abstract: | [Excerpt] Henry Edward, by the Grace of God and the Favour of the Apostolic See, Archbishop of Westminster, to the Clergy, Secular and Regular, and the Faithful of the said Diocese, Health and Benediction in the Lord. Reverend and dear Brethren, and dear children in Jesus Christ, The Cardinal Archbishop and the Episcopate of Ireland having invited us to unite with them in a public and solemn intercession in behalf of our Holy Father the Sovereign Pontiff at this moment of danger, we have with the greatest readiness and joy assented. Two reasons make us prompt to do so. First that we may ask your filial and fervent prayers for our beloved and august Pontiff, and next that we may give to the Bishops and Faithful of Ireland, a public testimony of our love and veneration for a people who have suffered beyond all example, for the Faith and for the Vicar of Jesus Christ. |
