Holy Communion to child who is
sufficiently instructed because her
parents do not attend Mass on the
grounds that she will probably fall
away later on?
A child has the right to the spirit
ual benefits of religion independent
of what her parents may do or be,
provided she does all that is neces-
sary for that purpose. We do not be-
lieve that any priest visits the sins of
the parents on the child in the manner
indicated in the foregoing.
Is there an order in the church
called the Sisters of the CenacIe"?
What work is carried on by its men,
bers? Is it an enclosed order? Please
give the address of it's novitiate?
There is religious order known
as the Ladies of the Cenacle'' whose
Motherhouse is in Europe. The Sis
tiers devote themselves to spiritual
work, giving general or private re-
treats, and teaching Christian Doc
trine Perpetual alteration of the
Blessed Sacrament is a feature of
their community life. The ladies of
the Cenacle have converts at 140th
Street and Riverside Drive, New
York; Second and Battery Streets,
Newport, R. l.; 203 Calhoun Street,
Charleston, S. c.; and GO Lake Street,
Boston Mass. A letter addressed to
any of these converts will bring you
fuller information in regard to their
work and mode of life.
/. If a person goes to confession
and is sorry for the sins committed
but does not make an act of contrition
while he gets absoIution, does that
make the confession unworthy? If
he makes an act of contrition but
afterwards forgets whether he did or
not, what is he to do? Must he con-
fess the sins over again? 2. If a
person commits a sin but does not
know it is a sin at the time, is he as
guilty as one who knew the greatness
of the sin but commits it just the
same?
l. One of the requirements for a
worthy reception of the Sacrament of
Penance is that the penitent excite
himself to sincere sorrow for sin be-
fore he enters the confessional. This
sorrow is virtually renewed and eX.
pressed again when the sin is con
fessed; but if one fail to make an act
of contrition while the priest is giving
dissolution it does not make the con
fession unworthy. Neither does il
affect the worthiness of the confes
sion if one forgets whether or not he
made an act of contrition at the mo
ment of receiving dissolution. II
either case it is not necessary tt
confess the sins a second time. 2. II
order that one be guilty of sin he mus
be aware of the fact that he is doins
wrong and give some sort of consent
No one is guilty of sin unless h
knows he is SHINING. Under ordinar.
circumstances if one does not know
not guilty before God. He is account
able only for those sins which h.
commits with a knowledge of wha
he is doing.
