SAINTS, HEROES Of
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Rev. Father George Mahony De-
liyers Closing Sermon of Re-
demptorist Mission.

at ST. Msry's cathedral two weeks ago

bencdiction.
Rev. Father George Mahony gave the
final sermon of tho mission. taking for

In the course OF his sermon Father Ma
honey said:
My dear brethren. / consider the saints
the heroes of the Catholic church. In
comparing cur lives with those OF the
saints, we are covered with shame and
confusion at the vast difference in cur
mode OF conforming 10 Gods law OF
right living. Now the question arises.
Why arc We so different? The saints
were Just as human as ourselves They
had the same human passions. human
weakness and frtilties that VIC have. That
the world vas jug: rs sinful is a known
fact from the history of Vile corriptIon
of Greece and Rome In the old days.
iioW can We hope TO emulate the
saints OF God? The answer Is that our
hearts must be pure and filled with an
earnest desire to live as near TO God
as possible. We may deceive others, but
We cannot deceive God, who knows our
heart S most secret thoughts. God has
made us for one purpose, 30 save our
souls. We may be poor ignorant, un-
known desplscd. but II VIC love Cod,
If we have chosen The proper path, Cod
