"Stimmen der Zeit" in Germany and another, "Przeglad Powszechny", in Poland. One of his last letters written on December 25, 1913, to the Society was on the celebration of the centenary of the society's restitution, to take place the following year. Wernz had been General for seven years and eleven months, from September 8, 1906, until he died on August 19, 1914. His death occurred only a few hours before that of Pope Pius X and a mere three weeks after the outbreak of the First World War. It would be a difficult time for his successor to begin leading an international Society in a world internationally shattered. His tomb can be found in the Jesuit Mausoleum at the Roman Campo Verano cemetery.
