was perhaps the immense increase of
merit, and so the immense increase
of her interior beauty, in that very
prayer, which ended the delay and
precipitated the glorious mystery
1t was perhaps one of her intense as
pirations, an aspiration into which
her whole soul and all the might of
it's purity were thrown, that drew the
everlasting Son so suddenly at last
from the bosom of the Father.
The Creator will not act in this great
mystery without His creatures con-
sent. Her freedom shall be glorious
reflection of His own ineffable freedom
in the act of creation. The Omnipo-
tent stands on ceremony with His
feeble, finite creature. He has al
ready raised her too high to be but a
blind instrument. Moreover, the hon
or of His own assumption of Gre
ated nature is concerned in the lib
erty wherewith creation shall grant
Him what he requires. He would not
come, claiming His rights or using
His prerogatives. Sometimes we
have seen the tide pile up it's weller
ing waves one upon the other, as if
it were building tower of water, be-
fore some insignificant obstacle which
the pressure of one rolling billow
would have driven before it far up
the sounding beach. This is a picture
to us of the moment of the Incarna-
ton. Innumerable DEGREES of God, de-
crees without number like the waves
of the sea, DEGREES that included or
gave forth all other DEGREES, came
UP to the midnight room at Nazareth,
as it were, to the feet of that most
wonderful of Gods creatures, with
the resistless momentum which had
been given them from eternity, all
glistening with the manifold splen-
doris of divine projections, like huge
pillows just curling to break upon the
shore; and they stayed themselves
there, halted in full course, and hung
their accomplishment upon the Maid.

BE STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH

Make straight the paths of our
God" Isaias said long ago. Our Lord
cannot get on with a soul given to
crookedness. He is not at home with
it, nor it with Him, says Mother M.
Loyola. Perhaps some of us know
the uncomfortable feeling of talking
to one whom we are trying to trick
or think we have tricked. Anything
like free and pleasant conversation is
out of the question; the sooner the in

So it is with us when we are not hon

A SAINT FOR The WEEK.
ST. rHEoDoREr, MARTYR.

About the year 361 Julian, uncle to
the emperor of that name, and like his
nephew an apostate, was made Count
of the East. He closed the Christian
churches at Antioch, and when st.
Theodoret assembled the Christians in
private, he was summoned before the
tribunal of the count. The only
charge against him was his zeal for
the house of God: and when he re-
fused to offer the heather sacrifices,
he was bastinadoed, struck in the face,
and tortured again and again, till the
blood streamed from his sides. But
for himself he feared neither death
nor torrents, and it was the persecu-
tors who had cause to fear. 20 most
wretched man." he said to his Judge,
you know we'll that at the day of
judgment the crucified God Whom you
blaspheme will send you and the
tyrant whom you serve to hell" And
God did indeed strike the ministers of
iniquity with fear. The executioners
who came to burn the side of the mar
tyr with lighted torches saw four an
gels standing by him clothed in whites
they refused to do their office, con
fessed the faith, and were cast into
the sea rather than renounce it. Jul
ian himself, though he hardened his
heart, trembled when Theodoret
prophesied the awful death which was
soon to overtake him, and was glad to
rid himself of the Saints presence.
He had him despatched quickly by the
sword, and i'll little the judge him
self was arraigned before the judg-
ment-seat of God.
"You, o Julian" said Theodoret,
will die in torrents on your bed
Your master is setting out in hope of
victory against the Persians. He will
never return: he will be slain in a
strange land, and no one will be able
to tell who struck the blow" This
prophecy met with terrible fulfill.

his own house, and died eaten by

THE eENuFLExIoN.

When you bend the knee, as you
enter the church, do you realize what
the act means? asks the Sacred
Heart Review" Not all Catholics do,
if we may judge by the quick little
jerk that they give by way of genu-
flexion. We are instructed to bow
the head with respect to the House
of God, even if the Blessed Sacrament
is not there, but in the Presence we
must give greater mark of rever-
ence. This is why we are told to
bend the knee to the ground. The
lighted lamp, glowing on the altar,
proclaims that the Blessed Sacrament
is in the tabernacle. Surely no other
warning should be needed to draw
from us every outward mark of love
and reverence. When you see this
lighted lamp, on entering the
Church" says jealous prelate,
bend your right knee to the ground,
down to the ground, remember. That
is the rightful sway to adore our Lord
present in the Sacrament. 1t is an
act of the highest worship, and you
should make it with all reverence. II
you do not call to mind, or notice
that you are in the Presence Of our
Lord Himself, you will not feel
humbled as you ought, or show the
reverence you owe Him, all the time
you are in His House"
When the Wise Men came to Beth
lehem, what was their first act? The
Scripture tells US: Failing down they
adored Him. N
We do the same thing before the
Blessed Sacrament Therefore, when
you come into the church, never for
get this act of reverence, never for
get the homage due to the great
God, Who reposes there in the taber-
nacle, waiting for you and for me to
come to Him. He watches with a
Fathers love for the little signs of
true Catholic devotion that prove how
close He is held in the hearts of His
children. If we truly love God, we
can never be needless of His Pres
ence,
