Pope Paul told the pilgrims: "Innermost peace is the pr,!mary authentic happiness. it helps one to be strong in the face of adversity. It preserves the nobiHty and liberty of the human person under the worst conditions in which men may find themselves. , "Moreover, innermost peace remains the means of salvation, the hope of regaining one's own rehabilitation, one's own respect and one's own' moral rebirth when desperation threatens to overcome one." The Pope noted that it is impossible to regain a true and not illusory internal peace through one's own moral resources. Chr.ist instituted a sacrament for this purpose, he said, the sacrament of Penance "which can give peace, interior peace."
Approves Theme Of Congress VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican has announced that Pope Paul VI has approved the theme "The Eucharist and the Hungers of the Human Family," proposed for next year's Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia. The 41 st Intern!jtional Eucharistic Congress, to be held in Philadelphia Aug. 1-8, 1976, will be the first to take place in the United States since the Chicago Congress of 1926. The Pope had already used the phrase, "hungers of the human family," in speaking of the coming eucharistic congress. "To all the hungers of the human family the Eucharistic Congress will offer, with confidence and loving faith, the only - the perfect - solution: Jesus Himself, who said, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry and he who believes in Me will never thirst. ' "
