His emphasis, which exactly duplicated our Lord’s emphasis, upon individual responsibility and personal sanctity, is the only true means whereby health may be restored to the social group. It is peculiarly necessary for us of the present, among whom the individual soul and will tend to be slighted and submerged.\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit;\"\u003e\r\nIn adapting certain of the meditations of Saint Peter of Alcantara for a part of this novena, the author also hopes to re-direct attention to the fund of spiritual aid and power latent in the work of this great Franciscan.
