The Saint of the Week

st. Eusebius who comes up for
consideration next Sunday is as
up-to-date as the bishops behind
the iron curtain Although he lived
sixteen hundred years ago, he
faced the same problems that the
bishops of Europe are meeting to-
day. He was banished by his en-
peror because he would not sign
fake royal order that favored her
esy instead of truth. The emperor
died before EuSebius, so the good
saint spent his last years with his
own priests and people. Pray to
him for our heroic religious who
are being kicked around today.
Three Lean Days
Wednesday, Friday and Satur-
day are Ember Days, so don't for
get to do some penance. If you are
not old enough to fast, you can
engage in some sort of penance.
The purpose of the Ember Days is
to pray and do penance for our fu-
ture religious leaders, the young
men who are preparing to take
Holy Orders. Your salvation is in
their hands, so pray that they will
take good care of you. 1t is q swell
time to be thinking of the possibil-
ity of giving your own life to the
spread of Christ's Kingdom.

Just A Bit
Some parents have told me that
they are sure their sons and daugh-
ters should not be working after
school. 1t seems that their studies
are suffering. Well, there is a lot
to that But / am sure that none of
the parents objects to weekend
work, so hunt up a job that won't
take too much out of you and will
put some money in the family till.
BY the way that is goo name for
it, because the green stuff just
rests in it till it is needed.
New Name For Old Shame
Paganism is sophisticated when
it calls the devil a wolf.
Frequent Means often
Blessed Plus X did his best to
popularize frequent Communion.
That was over 40 years ago, and it
still has not caught on. The best
basic training you could do before
Christmas would be to receive
Holy Communion daily. Some peo-
pie are trying to change the world
without attempting to change
themselves. Brother, it can't be
done. You just can't press q button
Christmas day and turn on love
for your Savior. If you love Him,
show your love week ahead of
time, and daily.
Scene OF Beauty
When a priest looks at his con-
gregation he sees the most Won
derful faces on earth all turned
in the right direction with eyes
focused on the tabernacle.
Your Voice
Is your voice pleasant to listen
to? That is quite a question, but ]
am not trying to sell anything. No
statesmen will call. The first time a
person hears a recording of his
voice, he is startled, and some peo-
pie really ought to be. 1t serves
them right. The way hear it, you
are going to be talking the rest OF
your life, so you really ought to
work to make your voice as pleasing
to listen to as you possibly can,
First of all, don't shout; it is hard
to stand hours on end. The whis-
perers ought to see a throat man
and get some padding removed.
The best way to find out how you

your family or your best friend.
They will tell you in a hurry and
will profit by the improvement the
remainder of their lives.
