00:08In the autumn of the year of Grace 452, Attila, king of the Huns, scourge of God, descended devastating
00:19in Italy. Pope Leo, moved from Rome, stopped the invader on the Mincio with the mere appearance of the
00:28His defenseless majesty. Fifteen centuries later, the concert of the bells of Rome was joined
00:37a ring, that of the church of San Leone. The new parish stands on the outskirts of the
00:50city, where the flow of enormous buildings submerges the miserable dwellings, where the most urgent need is
00:57need for the living presence of Christ.
01:15The parish priest climbs the stairs of the building as large as a village. He carries Christ with him.
01:31Like a small ship filled with an ineffable cargo of consolation and grace, the Church has begun
01:38its navigation. It was born from the offering of thousands and thousands of believers, from the egg of the
01:44men of Catholic Action. From those cards, from these poor gold objects, still warm
01:50from everyday use and arriving from every part of Italy, a powerful and Christian chorus rises.
02:02On the solemn day of the consecration, to the multitude of men of Catholic Action,
02:08who together celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of their association, Pius XII said
02:15The man of Catholic Action knows that the Church wants peace, that it wants a more just distribution
02:23of wealth, which wants to raise the lot of the humble and the poor. He knows that Christ,
02:30God made man, is the center of human history, that all things were made in
02:36him and for him. He knows that the Church, when it hopes for a different and better world, thinks of
02:44a society having as its basis and foundation Jesus Christ, with his doctrine, his examples,
02:51his redemption.
02:56On the steps and in the square of the Campidoglio, the ranks of these men of peace, of these
03:03missionaries in civilian clothes, gather with their flags, as if for a peaceful capture
03:09of possession.
03:14Later, among the tall pines of Piazza di Siena, the rite of the midnight mass linked
03:20in the same bond illustrious and obscure men.
03:49On the Palatine, the organization of Catholic men, gathered in the first thirty years of the
03:55his foundation, meets with its leaders. After Maltarello's words, the President
04:02General Gedda.
04:03We must continue in this program, which bears a luminous name, the apostolate of the
04:10lay people. We say this to those who suppose that we are following mysterious goals, everything is clear,
04:19in our house, we are the missionaries of a faith.
04:26The hundreds of thousands of people who have come from every country in Italy are joined by the representatives
04:33foreign to other associations. One thinks of the pledge of peace and harmony that in the name
04:39of Christ this force must represent among the nations of Europe and the world.
05:09His life was all strength.
05:15His life was all strength.
05:44Heralded by silver trumpets from the sacred palaces, the Pope descends among the multitude.
06:27We, we, we.
06:53We know well that threatening clouds are gathering over the world and only the Lord Jesus knows our constant trepidation.
07:06For the kind of humanity of which he, the supreme invisible shepherd, wanted us to be the visible father and teacher.
07:19And the Holy Father spoke at length to the crowd of His men, in a warm, paternal conversation.
07:27Long live life!
07:31Long live life!
07:34Long live life!
07:40Long live life!
07:43Long live life!
07:44Long live life!
08:02Long live life!
08:03Long live life!
08:05Long live life!
08:10Long live life!
08:29Long live life!
08:31Long live life!
08:37Long live life!
08:38Long live life!
08:53Long live life!
08:55Long live life!
09:00Long live life!
09:03After the moving and ardent atmosphere of the meeting with His faithful, another meeting, in a terrible moment, certainly
09:11came back to the mind of the good shepherd.
09:13No, no, no, no.
10:01No, no, no, no.
10:13No, no, no, no.
