Sin and Justice

The message of Christ which forms the Gospel
on Sundays Mass was spoken, like the one OF the
preceding Sunday, at the Last supper; IL is
message He wanted His disciples to remember after
He had left them and therefore has special mean
ire for US His followers Of today, Tor 1t Is by his
guidance and counsel that we must shape our lives
His promise that though He was soon TO return
TO the Father He would send the Holy Spirit TO teach
and strengthen the disciples SO that His mission OF
bringing men to salvation could 90 on, tells us
that we need have no need to fear the assaults and
temptations Of the world.
The disciples we're sad at the thought that He
was about to leave them, and His followers no"
would be properly sad, too, If their medtalons dur
ing Lent on the profound truth of the Redemption,
their contemplation of the grievous scenes OF Holy
Week and their exaltaion when the arrival OF East
or sipnalzed His triumph over death, were to be
the preparation only for final farewell on Ascen-
sion Day Instead the disciples were told, and we
are told that the lessons of Christs life were TO
he applied under the direction of the Holy Spirit
in all the concerns of mankind; that the coming
Of the Holy Spirit was to be summons 10 all chris
tians to engage in courageous struggle Tor per.
sonaI righteousness for human integrity, for social
justice
For in the name OF Divine Truth the Holy Spirit
hears ceaseless witness to sin the one hand and
10 Justice on the other, and bears ceaseless test
mony, moreover, to the overwhelming Tact OF God
Judgment passed upon the actions and thoughts
and omissions Of men None of the affairs of the
world can escape this Judgment what is done in
secret what the bold man does publicly, what trans
pires in the councils Of the great everything under
goes the divine scrutiny.
When Justice prevails The divine approval is
evident in peaceful hearts and happy peOpes when
sin holds sway, massing of wealth or power can
conceal its evil from the all-seeing Judge. Victims
of injustice find in the Holy Spirit of com
fort and aid; for the repeant sinner there is assur
ance Of mercy: but for the man or groups of men
who affront the justice Of God there is no escap
ing divine rrtribuon.
The Holy Spirit is Wisdom we'll Truth
and the light of Wisdom safeguard against error
and sin is available to those who seek IL prayer
fully Casting aside all unclesnness and abundance
of malice" ST. James admonishes us in Sundays
Epistle, with meekness receive the ingrafted word
which is able TO save your souls" How fitting, then
is the psalm verse which opens this Mass "Sing
We to the Lord new canticle. for the Lord hath
done wonderful things; He hath revealed His jus
tice in the sight of the Gentilesl"

'Our Lady of Grace

Il am the Mother of fair love, and of fear, and
OF knowledge and OF holy hope. In me is all grace
Of the way and of the truth; in me is all hope Of
life and of virtue. Come over to me, all ye that
desire me, and be filled with my fruit"
Eccesasticus XIV 2427
Come over 10 me-" The prophet speaks for
Her in whom there is "all grace Thus also speaks
our Lady Of Grace as her scuptured arms spread
vide to embrace the City Of Columbus from the gen
tie slope before Mount Carmel Hospital
Sculptured in Petrasanta, Italy, by Professor
Amanda Battelli, this statue brings a impetus
10 devotion extending back to the earIys ages OF
Christian worship The devotion to Our Lady of
Grace is of French origin; thus N0tre Dame de
Grace Is singularly suited 10 hospital conducted
by the Sisters of the Holy Cross. founded al Le-
Mans, France. At her various shfines throughout
France countless favors have been obtained through
her interceSsion.
OF special interest are those at Cambria where
the painting Of Our Lady attributed to the Evan
Felist ST. Luke, and al Mines where the devotion
dates back TO the days OF Charlemagne Devotion 10
our Lady Of Grace was favorte devotion OF Louis
XIV and his mother, Anne of Austria II was to
this shrine that Louis went in solemn state TO
turn thanks and to establish foundation for Per
petual Masses for the victory over the Saracens
Another frequent place of pilgrimage is to
Notre Dame de Grace al Loos This shrine was orig
nally founded when Benedctine brother, his
way To Bethune, placed statue under linden
tree where the monks paused in their work TO

but rather in a syndicated re-
view of the book which appear
ed recently in a number of Cath
Ollie newspapers throughout the
United States.
This reyiew-very Sympathet-
ic to Father Corridan'S work and
very laudatory of Mr. Raymonds
book-pointedly states that some
of labor's friends (some of la
bor's Catholic friends?) are gull
ty of winking at serious crimes
and abuses in the American
trade union movement. Mr.. Ray
mond's book, it is said, clearly
brings out the dishonesty and
harmfulness of automatically en-.
dorsing as unobjectionable ev-
erything and anything done IN
the name of unionism !"
Double Standard indefsnsihls
The reviewers point is very
we'll taken - to the extent that
it is borne out by the facts. A
double standard of morality for
management and labor is obvi-
ously indefensible. Or, if there
is to be double standard OF
morality in the field of industri-
al relations, it should not be
weighted in favor of labor lead
erS, If anything, the public has
a right to expect that labor lead
ers, as professional, self-pTo-
claimed champions of social JUS
tice, will exhibit higher de-
gree OF honesty and integrity
than almost any other group of
men in public life. Noblesse
oblige.
II is our impression actually
that the American press, if not
the American public in general,
has in practice adopted precise
ly this attitude with regard to
labor leaders.
Whether intentionally or not,
far too many newspapers nave
succeeded in leaving the impress
sion that the waterfront scandal
is purely and simply problem
