The "Te Deum" for Peace, at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Moorfields, [London] - Cardinal Wiseman preaching before the Bishops, 1856. End of the Crimean War. 'Cardinal Wiseman proceeded to address the congregation...He commenced by drawing a picture of the beauty of peace, and the contrast which it presented to the horrors of war. He pointed out that if we at home, thousands of miles from the theatre of war, felt the influence of peace, how would it be welcomed by those who dwelt upon the spot which had been the scene of sorrow and desolation...He believed that there was now an end for ever to the cry of Catholic disloyalty...In those graves the Protestant and the Catholic soldier lay in that long rest never to be disturbed till the last trumpet shall waken all to judgment. Both had received their mortal wounds in the same cause...the hymn "Te Deum" was sung by the choir'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
