A SAINT FOB THE WEEK.
VEN. ANNA MARIA TAIGI.

Anna Maria was born of poor par
ents in Siena, A. D. 1863. She was
educated in Rome, and began life as
a servant-maid, fond of dress, and full
of vain thoughts. At twenty she mar
ried, and soon after by chance con-
fessed to a Servite Father, who, being
warned OF her future sanctity, dis
closed to her the danger of her soul.
Laying aside her fine clothes, she be-
came a tertiary of the Trinitarians,
and began a life of stern mortifica-
ton, at the same time perfectly full
Before long a luminous disc, like. a
sun, in which she saw things past,
present, and future, appeared to her,
and was with her for forty-seven
years, till her death. Moved by the
Holy Spirit, she offered herself as a
victim of expiation for the sins of the
world and the evils affecting the
Church. She became the director of
many young men, whose temptations
she clearly foresaw, and, though a
poor and illiterate seamstress, was
consulted by .prelates and statesmen,
and was supernaturally informed of
distant political events. Her prophe.
eies were most remarkable, and many
of them have already been fulfilled.
Once, as she lay sick, our Lord ap-
peared to her and gave the gift of
healing to her hand, with which she
afterwards affected many cures. BY
an agony of seven months, and death
of utter desolation without the Sacra-
ments, she, whose life had been
modelled on her Masters, was found
worthy to have some share also in His
passion. She died in 1887.
Irresistible raptures of divine love
would come upon Ven. Anna Maria
when she was engaged in the kitchen,
and busy perhaps Swimming the
saucepan, and then the torrent OF
spiritual consultations would oblige her
to lean against the wall, where she
would remain for some time insen.
sible. On returning to herself, her
fear was to find the fire burnt out or
the vessel upset; but to her surprise
Ian was found to be in perfect order.

A CHRISTMAS OFFERING.

Dear Sacred Heart, I bear no gift OF
gold,
No frankincense l offer Thee to.
night,
AS did the Kings in Bethlehem of old,
When first the world was flooded
with Thy light;
But O! ! bring gift more precious
far,
More priced by Thee than all the
gold of earth;
AS came the shepherds who beheld
the star, Ct
I come with love to sing Thy glori-
Gus birth
The love of one whom Thou hast often
blest
And lifted from the midst of sin
and death,
caressed
And shielded from the tempter's
fiery breath; as,.,.ta.s
/ came with faith, nnharmed by stress
or storm,
A faith kept strong by Thy untiring
care,
A faith Thy generous friendship has
kept warm
When willy foes its fervor would
impair.
I come with hope-a lamp to guide my
feet,
To where Thy smile welcome gives
to all,
To where Thy voice, than heavenly
harp more sweet,
Our wandering souls would rally
and recall;
o! may my gifts of Faith and Hope
and Love
Be dear to Thee, o Sacred Heart
tonight,
And one day open Heavens Gate
above
To let me dwell in Everlasting
Light!

DEVOTION TO MARY.

1t is not impossible that what is
holding us back is defective devotion
to our Blessed Lady, says Father Fa-
Der. Without this devotion an interi-
or life is not wholly conformed to the
will of God; and our Blessed Lady is
especially His will. She is the solid
ity of devotion. Yet this is not al
ways sufficiently kept in mind. Be-
ginners are often SO busy with the
metaphysics of the spiritual life that
they do not attribute sufficient impor-
lance to this devotion. l will mention
some of the considerations which they
do not seem to lay to heart. Deyo-
ton to the Mother of our Lord is not
an ornament to the Catholic system,
a prettiness, a superiority, or even a
help, one out of many, which we may
or may not use. 1t is an integral part
of Christianity. A religion is not,
strictly speaking, Christian without it.
1t would be a different religion from
the one God has revealed. Our Lady
is distinct ordinance of God, and a
special means of grace, the Importance
of which is best tested by the intelli-
gent wrath of the evil one against it,
and the instructive hatred which her
esy bears to it. She is the neck of
the mystical body, uniting therefore
all tie members with their Head, and
thus being the channel and dispensing
instrument Of all graces. The devo-
ton to her is the true imitation of
Jesus; for, next to the glory of His
Father, it was the devotion nearest
and dearest to His Sacred Heart. 1t
is peculiarly solid devotion, because
it is perpetually occupied with the
hatred of sin and the acquisition OF
substantial virtues. To neglect it is
to despise God, for she is His ordi
nance, and to wound Jesus, because
she is His Mother God Himself has
placed her in the Church as a distinct
power; and hence she is operative
and fountain of miracles, and a part
of our religion which we can in nowise
put in allegiance.

The battles for the Carpathian pass,

this being the only region where, for

In the west the commanders are

which would give them an advantage
when the general offensive is decid-
ed upon. Their more recent efforts
nave been directed against the heights
OF the Meuse, to the east and south
of Verdun, in which both they and
the Germans claim to have made
gains.
The objects Of these operations is
to compel the Germans to evacuatt
St. Mihiel, where their line reaches
the River Meuse. causing consider
able bending of the French front.
In the Dardanelles except for a bal

going on except the work of the mine
