Excerpt from A Shepherd Among Wolves: War-Time Letters of Cardinal Mercier
The pastor and defender of a martyred people in a violated land, at once an apostle and a patriot, he is foremost among those whom the needs and duties of terrible days have made pre-eminent, and, in his country's grateful memory, his name will be immortal. For Belgian generations yet unborn he saved the Belgian Fatherland, and that inheritance of faith and strength which he has preserved for them will be all the greater because of what he was and of what he did.
In these letters and allocutions we see the agony of Belgium, and we see the Cardinal at work. We see him consoling and encouraging, assiduous for the integrity of the national sentiment, fortifying Belgium's stricken but unconquered soul, - we see him uplifting Patriotism into the high circle of christian duties, purging national retribution from private passion, making the Justice of God his people's confidence. It is a record of things which should not be forgotten.
