CATHOLIC BROTHERHOOD.

All! what sorry Catholics are they
who have not even enough charity to
live in the world in union with their
fellow men! The sacrifice of the
Mass supposes brotherhood among
men. How many Christians ever
think of offering it to the Father for
their brethren? The "Our Father"
supposes brotherhood. How many of
His children have the intention of re-
citing it in this spirit of love? The
Holy Eucharist supposes brotherhood.
How many Christians approach it
with brotherly love in their hearts
The communion of saints supposes
brotherhood. How many Christians
on earth think of asking assistance
for their brethren from the Christians
in heaven? In all His works there is
union. He has united men with the
Father, earth with heaven, the chill
dren of Adam with grace. If Christ
detests sin it is because it separates
man from God, and from his fellow
men. You are My disciples, you are
My friends, you are My brethren, you
are My sons. Do you value these
titles as you should? BY what good
works do you make return for them?
Gabriel P0lau, S. H.
