Should Be Anxious to Learn

From the Catholic pulpits priests
of God speak in his name. Moses came
from Sinai and proclaimed the word of
God. The priest of God is another
Moses proclaiming the word. If you
doubt this, does not our divine Lord
say, He who hears you hears me-?
My dear people, if this be true, what is
the spirit that should characterize the
Christian in approaching the church of
God?
when children go to school they go
with an anxiety to learn. At times
they ask questions. and when the
teacher speaks they hang upon the
words. If God imposes the obligation
of teaching, he must also impose upon
the people the obligation to learn.
1--WE should say, What is God say
ing to me just now?' If we come
anxious to learn we should always take
home some great truth. We should be
anxious to know God Jesus Christ, and
to know our duties, and if we have
sinned how we can place ourselves in
Gods grace. and we should know the
folly of all things earthly.
IF a priest reproves certain vice
we should ask ourselves if We have
that vice. We should measure our
selves by the word of God. Let us set
to work under the influence of Gods
holy grace to reach the standard re-
Ouired by God
