CONCLUSION.
We will end with the words of Pope Leo XIII, the venerable and zealous Apostle of the Rosary in the nineteenth century. Speaking to the rulers of the Church, the Pope says: "For these reasons the Roman Pontiffs have ever given the highest praise to this Sodality of our Lady. Innocent VII called it 'a most devout Confraternity.' Pius V declared that by its virtue 'Christians began suddenly to be transformed into other men, the darkness of heresy to be dispelled, and the light of Catholic faith to shine forth.' We also, Venerable Brethren, moved by the example of our predecessors, earnestly exhort and conjure you, as we have often done, to devote special care to this sacred warfare, so that by your efforts fresh forces may be daily enrolled on every side. Through you and those of your clergy who have the care of souls, let the people know and duly appreciate the efficacy of this Sodality and its usefulness for man's salvation." To the faithful laity the Pontiff's fatherly words are no less strong: "For this reason do we exhort all Christians to give themselves to the daily recital of this pious devotion either in public or privately in the home or family of each. We believe it to be in the designs of Providence that, in these times of trials for the Church, the ancient devotion to the august Virgin should live and flourish.
"May the Christian people, excited by our exhortations and inflamed by your appeals, now seek the protection of Mary with an ardor growing greater day by day. Let them betake themselves more and more to the protection of Mary, and trust in Her. Let them cling more and more to the practice of the Rosary, to which our ancestors had recourse as an ever-ready refuge in misfortune, and as a glorious pledge and proof of Christian faith and devotion.
"The heavenly Patroness of the human race will receive with joy these prayers and supplications, and will easily obtain that the good grow in goodness, and that the erring repent and be brought back to salvation; that God, who is the avenger of crime, moved to compassion and mercy, shall deliver Christendom and civil society from their present dangers, and restore to them that peace which is so much desired.
"Encouraged by this hope, we beseech God Himself, with the earnest desire of our heart, to grant you, Venerable Brethren, every gift of heavenly blessing, through Her in whom He has placed the fullness of all grace."
