in your heart-for you are likely one
of those who maintain that you can
not fast Would you also persuade
yourself that you are capable of no
practices of modification, even so
slight denial as this?
Lent is the time of self-denial, pen
ance and prayer, and, therefore, par
ties, balls and public amusements are
out of place. Your evenings should
be spent at home with your family.
Interest yourself in good reading or in
works of charity. Try to be home
every evening in time to join in with
the family in the recitation of the
Rosary. All these things will prepare
your soul for happy Easter. No one
is worthy to rise with Christ at Easter
who has not denied himself during
Lent.
Strive to conquer resentment, over
sensitiveness, coldness, unkind, sus-
picious, harsh words. No one becomes
holy in day, and, on the other hand,
no one usually separates from God
by sudden rupture. Dangerous read
ing, a prayer neglected, fit of day
dreaming that we have INDUCED in, a
light, frivolous friendship that we
have kept up; these are the little
things that form the starting point of
a ruinous course Let us make serious
resolutions for the future, and let us
put them into practice during this
holy season of Lent.

RETREATS FOR THE LAlTN.
Intention for March.

The general intention recommended
by His Holiness Pope Plus K to the
members of the Apostleship of Prayer
is the Retreats for the Laity. In the
League leaflet the following thoughts
are presented for the consideration Of
the members:
If every Catholic could be induced to
make a serious retreat once a year,
the world would soon be peopled with
saints. We understand by the word
retreat" a period of retirement and
solitude, during which the soul shuts
itself off from material cares, anxie=
ties and pleasures, SO that it may be
alone with God.
The need of such retirement is felt
at times by every soul that is not in
fatuated with a life of sin or sense.
In our days the license of public man.
ners has so increased and the poison
of immortality has become so wide
spread and deadly that many souls will
surely be driven to leave the haunts of
men and devote themselves to lives
of prayer and penance. Those who
cannot retire altogether from the
world will find in retreats an oppor-
tunity of renewing their spiritual
strength and of arming themselves for
the constant battle against sin.
Retreats mean more than the mere
separation from the world. They are
periods of intense activity during
which the soul is drilled and exercised
by meditation, prayer and examination
of conscience, in order to effect a
thorough reformation of life, If re-
form be needed, or at least a renewal
of the earnest resolution to avoid all
sin and to follow the Divine Leader
whose life is proposed as the model
which every Christian should initiate
Opportunities for making such re
treats are now offered both to men and
women in various parts of the country
not merely during the summer months
but throughout the year. Our Holy
Father wishes us to pray that Catholic
men and women may make use OF
these opportunities in large numbers
and that the practice of making g
yearly retreat may become universal
Readers who wish for more com
plete treatment of this important sub
ject are urged to read the explanation
of the General Intention in The Mes
senger of the Sacred Heart, published
at sol West 1S1st Street, New York.

THE GARRISON OF THE HEART.

Deep in the middle of the ocean the
waters quietly lie, though the widest
tempests are raging above, and the
fiercest currents running. Over the
tortured and plunging waters of the
cataract there lies unmoving though
it's particles are in perpetual flux, the
bow of promise and of peace. So over
all the rush and thunder of life there
may stretch, radiant and many-colored,
and dyed with beauty by the very
Sun Himself, the abiding bow OF
beauty, the emblem and the reality OF
the divine tranquility.
The Christian life is continual war
fare, but in it all "the peace of God
which passeth understanding" may
garrison our hearts and minds" In
the innermost keep of the castle
though the storm of war may be
breaking against the walls, there will
be quiet chamber where no noise OF
the archers can penetrate, and the
shouts of the fight are never heard.
Let us seek to live in "the secret
place of the Most High" in still com
munion with Him, keep our Utmost
souls in quiet, while we bravely front
our enemies and our difficulties. We
are to be Gods warriors; let us SEE
to it that we neglect not "the secret
place." the stronghold of poise ant
strength.

with fear. saying: I'VE have seen won
derful things today" Luke v:26).
Most of them were amazed, because
they saw crippled creature but now
lying helpless upon the ground, sud-
denly stand upon his feet at the mere
word of a fellowman-a prophet, in
deed, but yet man to their eyes. A
few may have understood things bet
ter, and these were amazed and, as it
were, stunned that the power of for
giving sins was as plain before them
as the strong limbs of the newly
healed paralytic: and this is the effect
upon all of us of making a good con-
fession.
How beautiful prayer is that which
begs God to love me: o Lord! love
me as Father, love me as a Brother,
love me as Spouse. And inasmuch
as God is love, that prayer is the most
welcome that He can hear. But yet
for all of us it has variance which
makes it dearer still to Him: o God!
love me as the Physician of my soul.
My brethren, to love is to live, yea
even for the Deity. And so great is
the desire of God to love us that He
would have us pray: Love me, o
God; by Thy very life l call upon
Thee to love me! Now there is
yet palmer meaning to this. For as
soon as l ask what the love of God
will practically do to me, the answer
is that it will transform me into the
very image of His Son" (Rom.
viii:29), my soul being entirely
cleansed from sin. Yes, to be made
one with God is the miraculous boon I
covet when I crave to be pardoned.
And thus does the Sacrament of Pen
ance effect Gods dearest purpose upon
me, and His life becomes mine. Little
do we dream of the marvels of good
confession, thinking only of the spirit
ual paralysis of which we are cured,
without adverting sufficiently to the
new life of love, by which we say
with st. Paul: ttAnd l live, now not
I; but Christ liveth in me- (Gal. ii:20).

A CHAT WITH YOUNG MEN.
A Lenten Suggestion.

To most people, especially the
young, the seven weeks of Lent seem
interminable. The seasons of merry
making, treatre-going, and general
amusements, which comes in with
such a rush after Christmas, is now
brought to a standstill for all who are
worthy of the name Catholic. Even
what is called society" is forced, by
common decency, to conform, at least
exteriorily, to the penitential customs
Now every one, the young and the
old, should bear in mind that some
thing is required of them during the
SEASONAL. in imitation of our Lord,
must make some sacrifice. So few
there are who think themselves
obliged to fast or abstain, that the
great majority are obliged to invent
some means of modification, which,
while it will not iHjure their health,
or prevent them from fulfilling their
duties, will, at least, make them feel
the spirit of this holy time.

THE PARDON OF SIN.

The friends of the paralytic, as they
asked his cure, thought only of his
bodily misery, writes Rev. Walter FL
lott, C. S. P, in the Missionary; but
Jesus was concerned with his souls
paralysis, his sins. For these the poor
man was doubtless truly sorry, but he
felt disheartened. Hence our Saviour
encouraged him and gave him Gods
pardon. This was characteristic; His
name is Jesus, Saviour, "for He shall
save His people from their SINS
Matt. i:21). The prophet of old had
spoken of His best gift of miracles
when he said: "He shall heal the
contrite of heart" Usaias lxi:D.
That is a greater miracle than to heal
the broken body, but it is not open to
mems eyes. Hence Our Lord joined to
it the cure of the palsy: "But that
you may know that the Son of Man
hath power on earth to forgive sins
(then said He to the man sick of
palsy: Arise, take up thy bed, and
go into thy house." Notice that our
Master puts forward His humanity and
ours in His claim of dissolution "the
Son of Man." an evident fore-shadow-
ing of that administered by His priests
in the Sacrament of Penance.
Consider the great wonders of con-

and which are associated with confes-

FOR GOD ALONE.

If could live to God for just one day,
One blessed day, from rosy dawn of
light,
Till purple twilight deepened into
night,
OF love unfeigned and perfect charity,
Of hope undimmed, of courage past
,dismay,
OF heavenly peace, patient humility
No dream of ease to lull to listlessness,
Within my heart no root of bitterness,
No yielding to temptations subtle
sway,
Methinks in that one day would so ex-
My soul to meet such holy, high de-
mand
That never, never more could hold me
bound
This shriveling husk of self that wraps
me round,
So might | henceforth live to God al
way.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. PETER DAMIAN.

st. Peter Damian was born in 988,
and lost both parents at an early age.
His eldest brother, in whose hands he
was left, treated him so cruelty that
younger brother, priest, moved by
his piteous state, sent him to the Uni
versity of Parma, where he acquired
great distinction. His studies were
sanctified by vigils, fasts, and prayers,
till at last, thinking that all this was
only serving God by halves, he re-
solved to leave the world. He joined
the monks of Font-Avellano, then in
the greatest repute, and by his wisdom
and sanctity rose to be Superior. He
was employed on the most delicate
and difficult missions, amongst others,
the reform of ecclesiastical commune
ties, which was effected by his zeal.
Seven Popes in succession made him
their constant adviser, and he was at
last created Cardinal Bishop of Ostia.
He withstood Henry w of Germany,
and labored in defence of Alexander
II against the Antipope, whom he
forced to yield and seek for pardon.
He was charged, as Papal Legate, with
the repression of simony; again was
commissioned to settle discords
amongst various Bishops; and finally,
in 1912, to adjust the affairs of the
Church of Ravenna. He was laid low
by fever on his homeward journey,
and died at Fraenza, in a monastery
of his Order, on the eighth day of his
sickness, whilst the monks chanted
Mathis around him.
st. Peter, though the greatest lum-
mary Of his age, and versed in all
knowledge, profane and sdivine, re-
garded himself as the least of Gods
servants. Nothing less than the
threat of accommodation on the part
of Stephen TX induced him to accept
the dignity Of Cardinal. And when, in
Difference to his urgent entreaties, he
was allowed to resign his dignity and
retire again to his hermitage, his
whole anxiety was to be hidden
among his brethren. He loved to
make the wooden spoons and perform
the other acts of manual labor which
the Rule prescribed; and it was from
such occupations that he was sum-
moned to act as Papal Legate.

THE CATHOLICS DUTY.

Every Catholic should be an apostle.
A life pulsating with the vigor of
purity and faith is sermon that
touches hearts. But some of us emit
no light. We seem to be dead; the
enthusiasm that springs from the joy
that we are Catholics and from de-
sire to help others to the faith is not
our possession. We could set the
world afire; and we are dull and slug
gish. IL we squared our lives with
our principles and got rid of the at
mosphere that is dragging us down to
earth and quenching the light of high
ideals and making us in nowise diff
ferent from those who are sunk in
ignorance and unbelief-if in a word
we kept to our altar we should be
working members of the Church. The
future belongs to US SON guard!

Authority.

Even though the mists of preju-
dice and ignorance regarding the
Church were dissipated. there would
still remain the difficulty of submit
ting to the authority OF the Church.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-02-28

The revolt in the sixteenth century
began in pride, and its strongest bull
wark today is in the unbending pride
of human reason. Men will not
humble themselves to hear the
Church. Religion, they say, is a mat
ter between each man and his Maker.
They can, they say, judge for them
selves. They do not object to listen
to the discourse of preacher in a
Protestant church. He may have
strong, definite views and he may try
to enforce them with argument and
eloquence But there is no binding
or compelling authority; it is under
stood on both sides that each member
of the congregation is free to accept
as much or as little as he pleases.
With the Catholic Church it is quite
different She does not commission
her spokesman to teach number of
doctrines which men are free to re-
ject, or from which they might pick
and choose as they might choose from
the programme of political party.
She demands an absolute, unquestion-
ing assent to each and every truth
which she teaches to be a part of the
divine revelation This is what the
Protestant mind rebels against.
The Essential Difference.
81 will allow no man, the Protestant
says, no priest, or Pope to come be-
tween me and God. The Bible is
enough for me. This attitude brings
out the essential difference between
the Catholic and the Protestant sys-
tenn. Is every man to go direct to the
Bible and spell out his own creed, or
is he to go, rather, to the Church and
sit at her feet, while she teaches him
revealed truths, not merely from the
Bible, but from the traditions that she
claims to have brought down without
break from the days of Our Divine
Lord and His Apostles? The Catholic
Church merely continues now the
very same method of teaching the
Gospel which Christ and His Apostles
followed at the foundation of the
Church and in the early years of
Christianity, and her system is not
merely consistent with what we read
in the Bible and with what we know
of the method used by Christ and the
Apostles, but it has been proved by
nearly two thousand years experience
to be the one and only system that
could maintain intact that purity and
unity of doctrine which was to be
the mark of the true Church in all
ages, and even when it had spread
among the nations of the EARTH

CAUSES OF LEAKAGE.

The two chief contributory causes
of what has come to be described as
''the leakage" when reference is made
to our numbers-the falling away
from the Church of very considerable
proportions of her members-are, as
is only too we'll known, mixed" mar
riages in long-settled and thickly popu-
lated lands and regions and lack of
facilities to practice their religion in
parts where they are few in number
and scattered in locality.
But there are others of which little
if any account is taken. One of these
is the negligence and Indifference of
Catholic young men in large cities
to which neither of these considera-
tons apply. They do not go to Mass
on Sundays, and they do eat meat on
Fridays Their other sins of omission
and commission may easily be i'm
agined.
Another cause-and one which has
perhaps never been mentioned before
is signalized by Jesuit Father who
is not dweller in this country, but
who is laboring in a portion of the
Vineyard where there are parish
schools like ours. Speaking of the re-
ception of Holy Communion by the
pupils he makes these significant OBJ
servations: "The little ones have too
often been accustomed to receive Our
Lord in His holy Sacrament, not of
their own accord, but only when they
were sent, not by their parents, but by
our jealous school teachers. One
result of this has been that, on leaving
school, when (unless they became
members of sodality or guild) there
was practically no longer any one to
send them, large numbers of them
either dropped the practice of Comics
sion and Holy Communion altogether
or at least quickly fell into careless
and irregular habits"
