Cause For Rejoicing

Hardly has the penitential season of Lent passed
when the Church and her children enter into
hghthearted season of rejocin2-the month of
May-Mary's month,
Our rejoicing is both physical and spiritual.
There is of course the natural up-litt that comes
with the return of color TO the countryside. The
spring weather and the rebirth of growing things,
the ightness of the air, the blue and white of the
sky-all these things that mark Mary's month bring
with them natural buoying JOY. And they should.
These things are however not the only or even
the main reason for our rejoicing during Marys
month. To find the real we turn to the
Church and her liturgy.
The liturgy of the Church is the external mani
festation of the internal life of the Mystical Body,
of which We all are members. We individual mem
bers of that Body find an official statement of
sentiments aspirations and desires SET forth in
language that is not Of mans making but of the
Holy Ghost. And so, in the beautiful Masses and
Offices with which the Church has surrounded Our
Blessed Mothers feast days find our true
son for rejoicing.
II was Gods plan 10 send His Son into the
world as Man that accounts for His choosing from
all eternity who would be His Mother and preserv-
ing her then free from all stain Of sin Ii is this
pre-eminent place of Mary in Gods plan for our
redemption and the knowledge that He chose her
from our human which makes us rejoice during
her month.
We are rejoicing that Christ had mother chosen
during her month? Is this the entire cause for our
reioicng? To think thus would be to miss much of
the real reason have to rejoice
We are happy, really happy, that praise
Mary Gods mother with these words of the Mass
Blessed art thou Virgin Mary, by the Lord,
the Most High God above all women, upon the earth
Thou art The glory OF jerusalem thou art the joy
Of Israel, thou art the honor OF our people Thou
art all fair and there is no stain in thee This is
part, but not all of 10 rejoice.
In another of Mary.s Masses find the full clue
to our reioicins-and il Is this: That she whom the
Church addresses in her rlghtu titles OF Mother Of
God the glory of Jerusalem. the honor of our peo-
pie rs known IN very fact to be not only the mother
of God-but mother too,
This is our Joy TO be meditated on particularly
during the coming month That II is mother who
says: Now therefore, children hear me. He
who shall find me shall find life, and shall have
salvation from the Lord" That's our real cause
for rejoicing.

Optimism For The Aging

constantly recurring discussion among those
Who are concerned with our social problems, re-
wolves about the situation Of the aged These discus
sions reflect the slowly changing attitudes toward
this particular problem. Al present, Congress is
considering bill 10 amend the Social Security Act
and the Internal Revenue code they relate 10 the
oldAge and Survivors Insurance Program. 1esti-
mony on this bill brings out once more that old
age must not be labeled as a time Of helpessness
and complete dependence
As person approaches the twilight years Of
his life, he does not look forward TO be relegated
pushed aside. Most older people desire to continue
work as long possible. BY and large they are not
thinking OF retirement Business and industrial con
Germs becoming aware of these desires and Of
the lack of logic in an arbitrary retirement age.
They realize that older people have contribution
to make sometimes for many years longer than
age sxty.five.
Not only Is an aged person reluctant TO be ar
bitrarily dropped from employment but there are
other activities and areas OF life from which they
do not wish 10 be excluded They want To continue
to participate in all the activities OF life they pos
sbly can-they want 10 participate IN religious
activities, social activities and in recreationai
activities 1t truly can be said that they want to con
unue TO contribute TO the economy and to culture
Besides wanting to continue their activities peo
pie who are growing old also do not look forward
TO life of dependence helplesSnesS Building
savings account and ownership Of property or secur
ties the tmehonored means of protection
against old age dependency. The great growth of
voluntary insurance aided in providing this
protection
In more recent years the development of social
security IN the form Of od-age insurance the prem
ium Of which is deducted from ones wage has
strengthened the ability of many people to provide
against dependency in their later years This is
an insurance program, albeit compulsory one
which aids many who have not been able 10 save
money or buy property.
More and more il is apparent that age is rel
atve quantity. 4 greater number Of the general
populace realizes that il is not time when per
son TO be able to help himself or others This
changing attitude a healthy and optimistic one.

munists" in this country-and
this has become quite fad in
certain quarters -- are unaware
completely of the manner IN
which the fifth column gets such
slogans and ideas into broader
American circles. That Is a pri-
mary weakpeSs sn the United
States today.
Discipline, Penetration
ANY examination of the Comm
forms organ of directiveS for
1854 will reveal continuous
and Stepped-up interest by Mos
COW in the sections of its world
Party" throughout the Western
nations. This interest is not so
much in the number of members
in these fifth columns - the
Soviet dictatorship has never
considered this of primary inn
portance ~ but in the discipline
of these groups and their ability
10 penetrate key positions.
Nothing illustrates this basic
concept Of the Stalinites more
vlvidly than the leading directive
appearing in the Cominform or
gan for March 20. To appreciate
its importance we must under
stand that it is the climax to a
whole series of directives along
the same line in preceding Is
sues.
Not Numbers
What is the basic test of the
strength of the Communist Par
ties as presented there? IL is
not numbers at all. Let the Com
inform organ speak for itself:
The guarantee of the strength
and oneness of the Parties is
conscious, iron Party discipline, "
This discipline is strengthen
ed, the directive declares, by "ef-
ficient and constant verification
of the carrying out of Party de
cisions" and by the constant
verification of the Party cadres

satisfactory peace to Korea and
Indo-China. we have it on the
authority of our Secretary of
State that the communists have
not abandoned their aggression
against still free countries, but
actually have increased it.
Scott Mcleod, security officer
of the State department told a
Senate committee that his de-
partment fired 300 persons
during the year 1853 on Secur-
ity charges. Two OF the employees
were suspected Of espionage, and
the department had information
on 143 of them indicating com
muniSt activity or association, or
membership in communist or
ganizationS." The remainder
were fired on charges involving
morals, mental conditions, mis-
representation and previous fell
onies or misdemeanors. In all,
there we're 364 charges leyeled
against the 800 employees dis
missed. In some cases, two or
more charges we're directed
against the same employee.
Mr.. Mcleod said subversives
are still trying to penetrate the
State Department, but that he
hoped the departments security
program would keep them out.
Officials in charge of such mat
ters have pointed out on earlier
occasions that a man or woman
does not have TO be card-carry-
ing communist to be a security
risk. Actually, it is difficult to
pin down the fact that an EN-
ployee is a communist party
member. But, a person who asso-

On the other hand, extensive

In this connection it can truly
be said that the only thing worse
than reading too many period
icals is reading too few. Anybody
who has ever been bored by the
superficial conversation of a one

of the universe will agree to that
statement. Variety to coin an
expression, is the spice of intel
lectual life.
This goes for the Catholic As

single Catholic periodical may
legitimately claim to have

of view. On a thousand and one

any Catholic periodical is more or

much a security risk as is the par
ty member. And. he is somewhat
easier to discover.
The talk is reviving round the
world that Marshal Tito of Yugo-

out of business. But Tito held on

considerable financial aid of the

proclaim himself a communist,
and never promised very much
TO the West In the way of alleg-
lance. But, despite this, We con
tinued to force our benefactionS

And now we hear from several

Tito has made up with Moscow.

time about showing his hand,
because he still gets handouts

Father Healey-

and Titus Titus 1:5). While the
full power of the priesthood re-
mains in the bishops as success
ors of the Apostles it was given
by the Apostles and therefore by
bishops TO priests who assist
them in the care of souls. This
power in the priest does not in
ciude the power of ordaining 9TH
ers and 1t is subject to the mis-
sion of the bishop as chief pastor
of diocese. This delegation is
referred to in several texts and is
clear from Tradition, Titus 1:5
Acts 1922, l Timothy 5:1720;
James 5:14.
Q. When should the different
mysteries of the Rosary be said?
A. Although there is no neces-
sity of following the custom in
private recitation it is recon-
mended. The joyful are recited
on Monday and Thursday, the
Sorrowful on Tuesday and Fri
day, and the glorious on Wednes-
day and Saturday. On Sundays
the prevailing custom calls for
changes according to the Church
Year. During Advent and the
Post Christmas season the joyful
mysteries would seem to be most
fitting. During Lent the sorrow
full and during the rest of the
year the glorious would seem
most apt. Any special occasion
e.g. for one of the faithful de-
parted would call for the appro-
pirate series of meditations.
@. What is the rule for reck-
oning time TO begin the fast for
Holy Communion?
A. We are TO fast from solid
food from midnight. Ordinarily
this would mean twelve o'clock
since that is the ordinary way we
Judge midnight. Since the Church
in Canon No. 33 states that we
may use that time and place
which is either local, whether
true or mean, or legal, whether
regional or some other extraor-
dinary time, we may use an
other accepted time. Mean sun
time, for example. would lndi-
cate that it is midnight in Co
lumbus when our clocks say
1882. This time MAY be used,
but il varies within this Eastern
Standard Time Zone (e.g. 1920
in Pittsburgh, 1888 in Cincln-
natD, and we should try to OBJ
serve the spirit of the law al
ways. We observe the Eucharistlc
fast out of reverence for the
Blessed Sacrament and there
should never be an atmosphere
of trying to get by with some
thing about our observance.
