J.M.J. "50. In some countries of the world
there are people who are unjustly persecuted for professing their
Christian faith and who are deprived of their divine and human rights to
freedom; up till now reasonable demands and repeated protests have
availed nothing to remove these evils. May the powerful Queen of
creation, whose radiant glance banishes storms and tempests and brings
back cloudless skies, look upon these her innocent and tormented
children with eyes of mercy; may the Virgin, who is able to subdue
violence beneath her foot, grant to them that they may soon enjoy the
rightful freedom to practice their religion openly, so that, while
serving the cause of the Gospel, they may also contribute to the
strength and progress of nations by their harmonious cooperation, by the
practice of extraordinary virtues which are a glowing example in the
midst of bitter trials."
Venerable Pius XII, Encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam (October 11, 1954), 50.
