ARCHBISHOP MANNING AND THE
CATHOLIC POOR SCHOOLS.

The following pastoral letter of Archbishop Man-
ning was read on Sunday last in all the Catholic
churches and chapels in the archdiocese :

REVEREND AND DEAR BRETUREN, AND DEAR CHIL-

DREN IN JESUS CIIRIST,--

After the great festival of the ever-blessed Tri-
nity, in which the presence of our Divine Lord
seems to withdraw itself from us into the depths of
the eternal glory, the festival of Corpus Christi re-
calls us to His near and all but visible presence.
He is indeed ascended to the Father, but He is with
us still in a mystery of incomprehensible intimacy,
sweetness, and power. The blessed- Sacrament is
the presence of Jesus veiled, but sensible. He
reigns at the right hand of His Father, but He is
here. And though our intelligence cannot compre-
hend the limits of this mystery, yet our hearts,
illuminated by faith, can apprehend it ; that is, can
lay hold of it, as the poor woman who touched the
hem of His garment, and, holding fast by Him,
became pervadtedabny a consciousness of the spiritual
life more intuitive than all reasoning and more as-
suring than all sense. This consciousness of the
soul is keener than the eye, and its intuitions are
sight. The door of the Taber-
nnaLrlee notpdioeerseulg h
hide the Blessed Sacrament from faith,
nor the veil of the Sacred Species conceal the divine
perfections of the Sacred Heart. In the Blessed Sa-
crament, by a spiritual apprehension, we see the Per-
son of Jesus, G3l and Man, His divine perfec-
tions, His human character, and the sanctuary and
source of all His grace and love—His Sacred Heart.
It was by this revelation of Himself that He inspired
a humble and simple daughter of His Immaculate
Mother to illuminate the Church of God with a
special knowledge of His divine and human perfec-
tions. The profound and beautiful devotion of the
Sacred Heart has in it depths which no saint can
ever sound ; and yet it is easily and promptly learned
by children. There can be no more fitting subject
for our thoughts to-day than the intention of the
Confraternity of the Sacred Heart. We will, there-
fore, draw out simply and practically some of the
lessons and benefits which may be derived from it.
Our earnest desire is that this Confraternity be
erected its every church in the diocese ; and that
the faithful be enrolled in 'it at as early an age as
they are able intelligently to practise its light obli-
gations, and to understand its beauty and its sweet-
ness.

The Confraternity of the Sacra Heart was
founded first of all to offer to our Divine Lord a
perpetual and special worship of love and adoration.
The whole visible Church, indeed, in all the world,
by a perpetual change, and succession of ever-recur-
ring acts of divine and public service at the altar,
worships God without ceasing. A multitude that
no man can number in every land is perpetually in
secret prayer before Him. These two great
offices of the Church, it is true, are always in
activity. But the Confraternity of the Sacred
Heart is something distinct from these. It is
the union of a multitude of souls, who, by a
special intention, consecrate themselves to make
reparation to our divine Redeemer for the sins and
ingratitude of men, and to glorify Him for the
dishonour He receives, not only from the world, but
from His own disciples. It implies, therefore, on
our part, a deliberate desire and choice to unite
ourselves with Him, and to identify our joys and
sorrows, our cares, intentions, and efforts with
His own.

A second intention, and an immediate conse-
quence from the first, is to promote in ourselves a
deeper consciousness of our personal relation to
Him, and of His personal relation to us. And this
His presence. The more
conscious of the nearness with which we are bound
habituallydto e pe
Himds as uponowuertkilien rememberssme sense
, of
t'the more we shall be
brother, and friend. This
devotion teaches us to refer our acts, words,
thoughts,sciplesand intentions to Him ; to live as the
d who
were always around Him, and to
measure all our life by His unseen judgment, ap-
proving or reproving our outward actions and our
inward hearts. And this sense of His presence is
not so much an intellectual as a moral perception.
rfections, and of the human
lineaments, so to speak, of His sacred mind and
rI at citme rp, ioefs
heart, that is of the minute and personal features
Hanis idnivtehilleigernet appreciation of His cha-
by which friends learn to know, to love, and to
confide in one another. No language can be found
to exceed the intimacy with which our Divine
Lord and Shepherd knows each one of us by name
and by character, and we a'so ought to
learn by contemplation, meditation, and experience,
the divine and human character of Jesus towards
us. It is a cold and mutilated friendship which is
all on one side. Theie must be reciprocal know-
ledge and mutual appreciation before there can be
an union of hearts and an identity of will. The
reason why we are so cold and distant towards
aim is because we know Him so little. Our friend-
ship like our knowledge is superficial ; and it is
superficial because we do not enter deeply enough'
into the-knowledge of the Sacred Heart. But be-
sides this sense of His presence, and the percep-
tion of His character, there is also a consciousness
of His personal love to us, which springs directly
from the knowledge of His divine and
human tenderness. We know what it is to con-

fide in the love of any one whose known gr. ►odness
is certain and general, even though we have, never
made trial of it, never received any person al evi-
dence of it towards ourselves. We know, however,
how faint anti feeble this is compared Trith the
loving and joyful trust which springs up i.t us as
soon as any tokens of personal care, or kindness , or
preference, have be'n shown to ourselves. "1 lave
called thee by name," Vie L-s,ri says to his p( tot)le of
old, as a pledge of Lis fatherly care. To be: called
by name tells us that we are personally kno No, re-
membered, aril cared for: that the eye !old the
heart of a friend are fixed on 113. A new sense of
trust, confidence, and dependence arises in us.
All that we knew him t) be in Him-
self, we thenceforward know him to be to us.
From this springS up a sense of intimacy and
mutual contract, and reciprocal interchange of gra-
titude for love, and obedience for guidance. Our
faith, hope, and charity, which terminate in God,
"have no need to ascend up into Heaven to bring
down Christ from above," as the Apostle says, but
find their object and their rest in the Sacred Heart
ever near to us.

Now, a further intention of this devotion is to
obtain for those who practite it an interior light to
understand the spiritual life and the objects of
faith, on which it subsists.

You will perceive at once that in the light of the
Sacred Heart the mystery of the Incarnation, pro-
found and infinite in its beauty and its depth, be-
comes, so far as we can receive it, luminous and
clear. It is no longer a mere exertion of divine
wisdom, or power, or grace, but a manifestation of
God, a deification and a beatification of man, an
union of the Creator and of the creature in the
Person of the Incarnate Word, which elevates man
to the knowledge aud love of God, and thereby to
eternal life, and to the vision of eternal peace. The
Incarnation is the most explicit and emphatic revela-
tion of love, of condescension, of union with our
hearts through the assumption of a heart like our
own. The heart of man became the heart of God
in Him, that the heart of God might redeem and
glorify the heart of man in us.
. .

And as the Sacred Heart interprets to us the
mystery of the Incarnation, so it does also em-
phatically unfold the mystery of the Holy Sacra-
ment. There can be conceived no union with God
in this world more intimate, purifying, illuminating,
or full of love than the contemplation of Jesus in
the Blessed Sacrament, except only the actual re-
ceiving of His Presence in Holy Communion : nor
any union more personal and permanent than Holy
Communion, except only the vision and presence of
Jesus in His glory. The mystery of divine power
whereby the substance of the bread and wine is
changed into the substance of the Body and Blood
of Jesus Christ is seen in the light of the Sacred
Heart to be the condition and the means by which
the Sacred Heart itself is imparted to us. In the
Holy Mass He offers it to God—in Holy Com-
munion He gives it to us. The love of
Jesus, human and divine, surrounds this mystery
of God's power, sanctity and justice, with
a light in which its moral beauty and fitness shine
luminously upon us. It is the love and sorrow of
the Sacred Heart which gives to the Passion of
Jesus on Calvebry and in Gethsemane its profound
and persuasive beauty. It is this perception of His
character which gives to His active life a moral sig-
nificance and perfection, and brings forth the mean-
ing which underlies all the literal history of the
Gospel. They can be understood only by those who,
by love and prayer, have the key or interpretation
in their own hearts. _

_
There are also many other lights and lessons to
be drawn from the Sacred Heart, but only one
more now can be ad led. It teaches us in what
our true perfection consists : not only in acts of
external obedience, but in the graces of internal
conformity with God. If we would be perfect we
must be like llnn, and to be like Him we must be
united to God in knowledge and love. This is the
Gospel of eternal life, which is little understood.
"If our Gospel be also hid, it is hi 1 to them that
are lost ; in whom the God of this world bath
blinded the min's of unbelievers, that the light of
the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image
of God, should not shine unto them. . . . For
God who commanded the light to shine out of dark-
ness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of
Christ Jesus." What is the face of Jesus Christ but
the Sacred Heart, the perfections of which radiated
from the sacred countenance, not only in the glory
of Thabor, but in the wounds and clouds of His
passion. "This is the declaration which we have
heard from him, and declare unto you : that God
is light, and in him there is no darkness. If we
say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. But if we
walk in the light as he also is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

It is to deceive ourselves, if we are to imagine
that we are His disciples, while we are proud, im-
pure, or selfish. Humility, purity, charity, are the
vital perfections of the Sacred Heart. They who
are humble, pure, and charitable, are united with
Him. They who are not so are not His, except in
word and in name. They may have a name to live,
but are dead. And this conformity to Him is both
His gift and our duty : it is a grace both infused
and acquired. It begins in our regeneration and
His indwelling in our hearts. It is advanced and
perfected by our fidelity and co-operation ; by acts
of faith, hope, charity, contrition, self-denial, self-
chastisement, by habits of recollection and mental
prayer, by Confession which renews our peace with
Him, and by Communion which unites and sustains
Vie union of the soul with His presence.

No surer help to this life of conformity to Him
can be found than the daily practices of this Confra-
ternity, that is the contemplation and adoration of
the Sacred Heart, and the exercise of those works
of piety and charity which are dear to it. Of these
the first and chief is the salvation of souls; and of
these, those who are dearest to Hint, the souls of
His little ones.
It is for this work that we ask your alms, as
usual, year by year, on this festival. The Poor-
School Committee, as we have already often told
you, is charged with the high and vital work of
training the teachers of our schools. The efficiency
and morality of our schools depends upon the cha-
racter of the teachers. The welfare of our poor
children is more directly affected by them than by
any exc3pt the pastors of the Church. If they be in-
competent or unworthy the children suffer : and in
them the families who will hereafter spring from
them. It was a proverbial saying among the Jews
that " the world is sustained by the breath of school
children," and that, " because the children were
neglected, Jerusalem perished." These are pro-
found truths, which ought to be appreciated a hun-
dredfold by those who know and love the Sacred
Heart of the Incarnate Son of God. These are
days in which we dare not relax in trianing able
and Christian teachers. The religious education of
this country is threatened, and will certainly before
long be assailed. It is only by its elfi3iency and
by its extension that it can be successfully de-
fended. We therefore earnestly appeal to you to
assist the Poor School Committee, which has de-
served so well at our hands in the last twenty
years, in rendering our Training Schools and its
other works adequate to the demands of our

education.
And the peace of God, which surpasseth all
understanding, keep your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus.
Given at Westminster, and ordered to be read in
all churches and chapels of the diocese on the
Feast of the Sacred Heart, the third Sunday after
Pentecost, 1868, when the annual collection will
be made in aid of the funds of the Poor School
Committee.

►ji HENRY EDWARD,
Archbishop of Westminster.
