ST. GERTRUDE, ABREss.

Gertrude was born in the year 1868.
Of noble Saxon family, and placed
at the age of five for education in
the Benedictine Abbey Of Rodelsdorf
Her strong mind was carefully cult
waited, and she wrote Latin with I'M
usual elegance and force; above all
she was perfect in humility and NOR
tification, In obedience, and In all
monastic observance. Her purity OF
intention flooded her soul with light,
and gave her great largeness and lib
erty Of spirit. It was said Of her that
in her mind was no error, on her
heart no cloud; none could resist her.
Her life was crowded with wonders.
The gift of miracles set its seal on
the graces of this elect soul, and 1t
seemed that Jesus could refuse moth
ing to her prayer. She has in obed-
fence recorded some of her visions,
In which she traces in words OF In
describable beauty the intimate con-
verse of her soul with Jesus and
Mary. She was gentle to all, most
gentle to sinners; filled with devotion
to the Saints of God, to the souls In
Purgatory, and above all to the Pas
sion Of our Lord and to His Sacred
Heart. She ruled her Abbey with per-
feet wisdom and love for forty years.
Her life was one of great and almost
continual suffering, and her longing
to be with Jesus was not granted till
A. D. 1884, when she had reached her
seventy-second year. AS she lay on
her deathbed, languishing with love
rather than disease, Extreme JUNCTION
was administered, and Jesus was
standing at her side, clothed with
dazzling glory, whispering to her
words of unutterable consolation:
''Now is come the hour thou hast so
longed for, the hour in which I shall
present thee to My Eternal Father"
Then the dying Saint saw the Blessed
Mother of God surrounded with choirs
of angels and saints, and among them
the sisters whom she had trained and
guided They sang hymns of para
disc, "Come away; for the joys OF
heaven await thee!" And when the
last moment arrived, Jesus drew near
er still, opened to her His Sacred
Heart, received into it her blessed
soul, and bore it as precious pearl
to heaven. The prayers and exer-
cises of st. Gertrude are still used by
countless souls, which taste thereby
the sweetness of the secret things OF
God.

deavor not to get excited, nor think
that the last sacraments necessarily
mean death. On the contrary they
may, if God sees fit, be a powerful
assistance in curing bodily ills; and
in case it be Gods will that death
must come, they will most certainly
strengthen and purify the soul. and
give it courage and fortitude in the
last moments upon which SO much
depends. Therefore, prepare for
them as we'll as possible, by examin-
ing your conscience carefully, enter
tanning lively sentiments of faith, hope
love and contrition, uniting your will
to the divine will and offering up your
sickness as a penance for the sins of
your past life. You should resolve
that should you be restored to health,
you will serve God more faithfully.
The prayers in an ordinary prayer
book will be great help in this prep
aration.
If the sick person is too weak to
prepare himself, some one should
assist him by slowly reading the
prayers for him in calm, low voice.
There is no excuse for those around
him getting excited, crowding the
room, or by their conduct and actions
causing him to become confused and
distracted. Let them bend all their
efforts in a quiet, determined manner
towards assisting him in every pos
sible way to a most worthy reception
of the sacraments. Those in danger
of death need not be fasting to re-
ceive the Viaticum.
Request the priest to call again, and
in the mean time, many, things may
come to your mind which should be
made matter of confession, and II
your sickness runs through many
days and weeks, request him to bring
you Communion occasionally, but ne
is to judge how often.

PREPARATION OF THE SICK.

The ravages of disease on the
human system is permitted by God.
When sickness comes, we should take
it as coming from the hands of our
heavenly Father, and bear it In a
spirit of humility and penance. There
is no, period of life in which we can
merit more than in times of sickness,
if we have the proper spirit,
When sick persons are to receive
the sacraments, they should be well
prepared. 1t is an easy matter when
there is no fear of death. In this
case spend as much time as possible
In devotional exercises, be in readiness
to make your confession, and be pre-
pared If Communion is to be given.
Under certain conditions, sick persons
may receive Holy Communion when
not fasting. provided their confessor
allows them to do so, After Com
munion spend some time in thanks
giving.
When there is danger of death, it is
a more serious affair. The priest
should be sent for without delay, and
the sick persons informed Of his com
ing. so he can duly prepare himself
for the reception of the last sacra-
ments, that is. Extreme JUNCTION and

WHY THEY FORGET.
The Reason That Some Catholics
Neglect Their Dead.

I listened to a story, not long ago,
writes Rev. J. T. Roche, of wealthy
Catholic man who died and was buried
with great pomp. There was Solemn
High Mass and the usual sermon on
death with a few guarded expressions
about the late lamented. The widow
and family were left with over a
million dollars at their disposal, but
during the year which followed this
mans death there was only one Mass
offered up for the repose of his soul
and this was at the request of a poor
woman. towards whom he had extend
ed at one time in his life, charitable
hand. Now, the dead man in question
was not by any means saint. He
was worldly and with his wealth came
the feeling that he was too busy to
attend to his religious duties. He
had a good deal of that false pride
and self-suficiency which comes with
wealth and his attitude towards the
strict practice of religious duties was
anything but correct. Summoned sud
denly, it was his good fortune to re-
ceive the great Sacramento of the
Church, and Gods grace lowered at
least about his deathbed. It never
seems to have occurred to the wife
and family whom he left behind that
he might be undergoing long series
of purifying penances in that great
world of suffering known as Purga.
tory They loved him in sort of a
way and duly remembered him in
many ways, but there appeared to be
no suspicion that his soul was under
going bitter suffering, which they
could shorten and assuage.
And what is true of this man is true
of thousands of Catholics who have
been called out of this life and who
are forgotten by all save those who
cherish a special devotion towards
the suffering souls in Purgatory. Fa.
theirs, mothers, children, brothers and
sisters, whose grief on the occasion OF
death is truly pitiable, act as if they
did not believe in penitential state
in the next life. They never have a
Mass said. for their dead friends
never offer up a Holy Communion OF
their beads, never perform charit
able act, which is placed to the credit
of their dear departed
And the question naturally arises
why such is the case. 1t is indiffer
ence or real lack of faith in the
dogma of the Catholic Church? I be
lieve the latter is the real trouble
/ There is such thing as half-faith
which unconsciously affects our &C
lions and leads to that inconsistency
so frequently noted in Catholic life
We believe in Purgatory in sort Of
half-hearted way, but our half-beliei
never leads to anything practical as
far as aiding the suffering souls is
concerned.
