The future oecumenical Council : a letter 1869 .txt text/plain 22877 966 67 52 Let us pray that so many men of integrity, scholars, politicians, heads of families, so many men of toil, so many men of good-will, whom the light of Jesus Christ has not yet illumined, may receive from it beneficent rays. Let us pray that the restless desires of so many mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, who in obscurity maintain purity and sanctity in the family, often without being able to obtain the faith, may at length be favorably heard. Let us pray that at last the East and the West may draw near, and that our separated brethren, weary of the division which dis- solves them, may respond to the pressing appeal that Holy Church has made to them, and come at length to throw themselves into her arms, open for three centuries. What is then, my Brethren, this Catholic Church, and what is this Council which in a few months is about to present so grand a spectacle to the world ? cache/_005195490.txt txt/_005195490.txt
