War Mothers A Memorial by David S. Fischel Researcher Under the Direction of Glen Johnston, PhD Stevenson University Maryland
In the Fells Point area of Baltimore, Maryland is located a Polish-American Roman Catholic parish erected a World War II memorial. The memorial was erected by the War Mothers on the grounds of the Holy Rosary Parish and is “Dedicated to the Glory of Almighty God and in the Memory of Our Deceased War Veterans.”
The memorial is of grey granite stone and measures seven feet by seven feet. In the center is a base relief engraving of a hands outstretched Jesus. On the left and the right are engraved fifty-six names. The memorial is centrally located between the Holy Rosary Parish church building and their then school building.
“Today the Lord said to me, Daughter, when you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it. Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest, but I myself act in your soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy. Tell souls that from this fount of mercy souls draw graces solely with the vessel of trust. If their trust is great, there is no limit to My generosity. The torrents of grace inundate humble souls. The proud remain always in poverty and misery, because My grace turns way from them to humble souls.” (1602)
