He paused for a moment as he looked over the large crowd, shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand. He then said: “We will recite this prayer (The Angelus) tog^lher, making Ours the intention that We proposed to the general audience yesterday; that is, We will ask that the peace of the Lord may be with Us and may be extended to all humanity and to the whole world. “As you know, there are signs which allow us to consider the world horizon with greater hope and serenity. Let us pray the Lord that He may make men truly brothers. “We, as Christians, must be the first to ask the Lord for this gift of His peace.” VATICAN RADIO said in its newscast: “Today, Paul VI wanted to point out to the faithful a re cent demonstration of signs of good will.
