Pius XII
ULess than a year later, Sunday, 17 October 1954,
the Pope of that time, Pius XII, concluded the
Marian Convention of Sicily with a radio message.
Here is a significant excerpt: Will humanity
understand the mysterious language of those tears?
“It is not without lively commotion that we are
aware of the unanimous declaration of the Episcopate
of Sicily upon the reality of this event. Without a
doubt Mary is in Heaven eternally happy and suffers
neither pain nor sorrow; but she cannot remain
insensitive, rather she always nourishes love and
pity for the poor human race, to which she was given
as their Mother when, sorrowful and tearful, she
remained at the foot of the Cross, where her Son was
affixed. |
