Many who have to 90 to work at an

still is the danger Of confused

Comprising "circIes" which meet
monthly for talks and discussions,
the new organization of PatricianS
is especially designed to help Cath

In this way, the members become
better informed on their Faith and
more competent TO expound and
explain their beliefs should the oc-

ROME, Italy - MC) - Giovanni
Gronchi, 67-year-old speaker of the
Chamber of Deputies, has been
elected President of the Italian Re.
public with $50 out of 333 votes.
In Italy, the President is elected
by the National Assembly, com
posed of members of the lower and
upper houses of parliament, plus
! ten regional representatives. The
constitution requires that during
the first three ballots the candi-
date must have at least twc-thirds
majority to be elected. After that
simple majority is sufficient for
election.
This is the first time in the short
history of the young Italian Re
public that the President has been
elected by such a formidable ma
jority composed of all sectors OF
the. political arena.
II is also the first time in the
longer history of unified Italy
that the head OF state is q Cath.
Ollie marked by his open pro-
fession of faith and his active
service during about half cen.
fury in Catholic religious and %.
Iifiesl movements.
The Importance of this fact be
comes evident to anybody familiar
with Italy's tormented history dur

portance is furthermore underlin
ed by the fact that Gronchi's elec
ton ran counter to prediction ex

FuIfiIIment of Two Great Resolutions In
Life of Saint Recalled At Anniversary
Theresa Martin
Became Great
Little Flower

The Catholic world, and the
Carmelites in particular, will
celebrate on May II the 30th
anniversary of the canoniza-
ton of a young woman who
made two momentous resolutions
in her 24yesr life span and full
filled both.
Her name was Therese Martin
but she is more popularly known
as st. Therese of Lisieux and the
Little Flower of Jesus.
Since her canonization, it has
been said, more honors have been
conferred on her than on any
saint in the last 1000 years. She
now is hailed as the patroness of
noyices, Mexico, Alaska, France,
Russia's conversion, Catholic Ac-
ton, the Lsteran Treaty, spiritual
childhood, universal missions and
Young Christian workers.
These facts about her life have
been related by Father Jerome
Callahan, o. Carm., of Chicago.
The youngest of the nine chill
dren If Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Martin,
she was born in Alencon, France,
on January 2, 1873. When she was
four, her mother died of cancer
and she moved with her father and
four sisters to Lisieux, 30 miles
north. She was known as an ordin-
ary youngster in most respects.
Before she was 10, in the little
market village of Lisieux, Therese
Martin made the two great resolu.
tions of her life-that she would
become Carmelite nun and that
I she would become a great saint.
She was IA when she decided
TO attain her first goal. There was
a storm of protest from relatives
priests. and even the Bishop oil
Lisieux, when she announced she
was going to enter the Lisieuz
Carmel. Her uncle, Isidore Guerin
summarized the opinions with the
words: why you'd be the young
est clustered nun in all France. Tt

and pulled them outward while

Person, namely the Holy Father
who is the Vicar of Christ, the
visible head of the Church. Then
cut into some luxury, deny your
self a movie, a cigarette,-any-
thing-and send the equivalent
to the Holy Father through his

missionaries, we can cruelty our
selfishness just a little to be one
