FIRM PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT.

The necessity of contritiOn for the
remission of sin carries with it the
necessity of firm purpose of SHINING
no more. Contrition would be incon.
ceiyable without it, at least implicitly
This firm purpose is not simple de-
sire to avoid sin, as if one would say:
Il would wish to abstain from sin, il
| could, or if / was not tempted.
Such a purpose would be no determi
nation of the will. On the other hand
4 promise or vow of SHINING no
more, is not required; but a serious
determination of the will is demanded
not only not to commit the same again
but, in general, to avoid all mortal
sins in the future. This purpose may
be explicit or implicit. 1t is explicit
when it is included in a hearty de-
testation of sin; sorrow for sin implies
it, because if one is really sorry for
having sinned, he also implicitly pro-
poses to sin no more. Theologians
argue the question, whether an I'M
plicit purpose is sufficient in the
Sacrament of Penance. Theoretically
there is a difference of opinion, but
practically there is no difficulty, as
it will hardly ever happen that one
who is really sorry will omit making
explicitly a good resolution. Before
confession or in the confessional all
penitents recite the act of contritfon,
which explicitly contains the good re
solution. The purpose of SHINING no
more must have the following condi.
tions, when referring to mortal sin:
it must be firm. efficacious and uni.
versaI. Firm, not in regard to flu
ture event. as it does not preclude
the. possibility of falling again, but
by the present disposition of will, so
as to exclude any will to sin. The
flrmness of will is not affected by a

PRIDE.

Ever since the wicked angels fell,
the curse of spiritual and rational
beings, and has turned them from
their God. Pride means conceit,
vainglory, disobedience and rebellion.
These evil dispositions characterize
the world as we know it at this mo-
ment. Men will tell you they believe
in God; but they will reject with
scOrn the idea of obeying Gods COM
mands or those of His church. They
will tell you that what pass for God s
commandments are probably nothing
more than the ideas of men. They
will protest that neither Church nor
priest nor book has any title to COM
mand them; and they will declare
that they intend to be free in thought,
word and deed, so far as they do not
interfere with civil society. We can
not too clearly and definitely face the
fact that this spirit of disobedience
and rebellion, vaiAglory, and pride in
all its branches, is the exact contra
diction of the spirit of Jesus Christ.
1t is the very essential mark of what
He denounced as the world" The
impulse to refuse to obey, to scorn
dictation, to criticize, and to set up
as our own masters in religious and
moral matters-this spirit may be
natural; it may be extremely human;
no doubt it is so. But we have to
make our choice. Either we give in to
it, and then we range ourselves III the
army that is opposing Christ; or We
elect to be Christ's disciples, and then
we must repress and resist it to the
utmost. The Gospel spirit is that of
humility, childlike docility and obedi-
ence. In all that concerns religion
and morality, it is most essentially
the Gospel spirit to obey, not only
the commandments of God, but the
instructions of men whom Christ has
appointed to teach.

LISTEN TO SERMONS.

Sermons are good for the best of
tened to with the right sort Of dispo-
sitions. There is a great deal to be
hoped for from the young man who
appreciates the value of sound, we'll
meant counsel, and who will listen re-
specially to the voice Of friendly adj
monition. He realizes that the les
sons which may be learned from the
experiences Of those who have pre-
coded him along the thoroughfare that
connects adolescence and maturity are
apt to be useful. He knows this be-
cause he is Intelligent and observant.
He instinctively turns to whatever
promises to afford landmark on this
momentous journey, which is made
only once in life.
The greatest mariner that sails the
mighty deep is the most diligent stu
| dent of the charts that mark the cur
rents and the shoals. The longer his
service in traversing the mysterious
highways of the sea, the keener
grows his trust in what other men
have taught concerning the existence
Of hidden reefs and treacherous tides,
that lie ever in wait to shipwreck the
unwary and the foolish. This quality
that seeks to know dangers and how
to avoid them is what constitutes a
good navigator.
And so it is with the class of Cath
Ollie young men who listen attentiyely
to sermons for the assistance these
may afford in steering straight and
safe course on that inevitable voyage
which must land us eventually, either
triumphant at the last great hoped-for
port, or leave us poor, beaten, moral
castaways off the shores Of eternity.

fear of again falling into sin, owing
to human frailty; this fear seems
rather to be an indication of true
purpose; he who fears sin, does not
wish to sim Even the belief that we
shall fall again, owing to our weak
ness, as shown by our experience in
the past, does not prove want of
firmness in our present disposition,
as we firmly resolve with the help
of Gods grace to abstain from sin.
st. Peter was not deemed unworthy
of Holy Communion, because his dis
position at the time was good, al
though Our Lord foreSaW that he
would not persevere. The purpose of
SHINING no more must also be eftica-
cious, that is, we must resolve not
only not TO sin any more, but also to
use all the necessary means to avoid
sin, and especially to remove all the
proximate occasions of sin; this does
not mean, however, that relapse is a
sure sign of previous defect i'll our
resolution. Lastly, the purpose Oh
SHINING no more must be universal in
regard to all mortal sins. AS to Veni-
al sins, the purpose OF avoiding at
least one of the venial sins confessed
is sufficient, or even the will to less
en- their frequency, as this implies
the resolution to amend ones life.
A man may propose to avoid all venial
sins, which are entirely deliberate.
for he can morally avoid them; as
for the others, which are only half
wilfuL, sorrow for having committed
them, and purpose to be diligent in
at least reducing their frequency is
sufficient 1t is advisable in confess
sion, rather than enumerate all our
Venial sins, to accuse ourselves of
some for which we feel really sorry,
and of all the others in general. a
confession of number of Venial sins
without a real sorrow for any or with
out a firm purpose of at least avoid
ing one, would expose the Sacrament
to the danger of being null and void,
and eventually make us guilty OF a
sacrilege. Los Angeles Times.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. WALBURGA, ABBEss.

One Of family Of Saints-for her
father, the Saxon King Richard, and
her brothers, Willibald and Winibald,
were all Walburga was
reared under Tetta, Abbess of VIM
born in DOrsetshire. There she grew
in sanctity till her uncle, st. Boniface,
then evangeliZing the German tribes,
sent for her with other nuns to help
his work Walburga settled with
thirty maidens in the abbey of Heiden-
helm, founded by Winibald, and at his
decease she was chosen for her sim
gular holiness abbess of the double
house of monks and nuns. She died
A. d. 779, and ninety years afterwards,
Cigar, Bishop of Eichstadt, being
warned in a dream, translated her
bones to his church. They were dis
covered clean, but moistened with a
a marble tomb, whence the oil has
ever since distilled, drop by drop, into
a silver shell, the flow increasing dur
ing the time Of Mass. The miraculous
LIQUID when treated irreyently has al
ways evaporated. On the removal of
the vessel below it, or in the case of
any dirt lodging in it, the drop hang
like grapes, and while the country
was under interdict they ceased to
ooze from the shrine. This holy dew
has wrought countless miracles up to
our own time, and is heavenly medi-
cine to the afflicted, whether in soul
or body.
A soldier praying in the Church of
st. Walburga in his rough gauntlets
had them suddenly wrenched Off his
hands, and they only returned to him
on his lamenting his irreverence. The
distaff of woman who spun on feast
days became glued to her hand, as did
the ball Of little girl who was over
fond of play; nor could they obtain
release till they had done penance at
the Saints shrine.
