be able to pay in some imme-
diate concrete way for every
thing - even for kindness. st.
Thomas says that it is itself
an act of charity to receive
charity.
Ii is a form of selfishness to
seize every opportunity of serv-
ing Christ in ones neighbor
and yet to refuse to others that
same opportunity. This attitude
starts in the home. We need to
show children how to accept
help gratefully and graciously
as coming from Christ.
Balanced Living
Somehow all we own should
help us TO get to heaven. For
example, such labor saving de-
vices as we can now afford.
actually could give US more
time and energy to praise God
better. to love and serve one an
other in Christ, to serve our
neighbors more effectively. Or,
we may ask: Will this rather ex-
pensive means of entertainment
re-create us, or simply wear us
out and make us less fit to car
ry out Gods will? Or, do we
waste or own too much? As a
Christian we have no right to
more things than we can use.
A balanced religious family
sees in creation all around us a
great book in which we can
learn about God. This book of
creation is made to mean some
thing holy; it is not just a
scrawl or mathematical report
of profit. The heavens and the
earth are made to tell of the
glory of God, even a collection
of odd bugs and butterflies has
a wonderful story to tell.
The home, then, is not mere
shelter. II is a special workshop,
training ground, gymnasium,
real life, not filling station
preparing us for some real life
which will take place elsewhere.
Sense OF Values

important, but rather the Chris

tian life of charity that is lived
in it. In this day it is not easy
to sell. Many seem convinced
that since God has not urged
upon them a priestly or re.
ligious vocation, He had no
special plans for them. But
family life is great vocation.
| do not wish to imply that
a well-planned, well-managed
house does not contribute TO
good Christian living. Improper
housing is one of the chief oc-
casions of sin and discourage
ment today. Rather, hope
some day we can sponsor among
architects the Importance of
design in Christian home life

shrines.
Architects must try to satisfy
true human needs rather than
seek principally their own gain.
That is the philosophy behind
work; we work for other peo.
pies welfare as we'll as our
own. The efficiency of the
machines we sell is too often
the norm of sales, not the tru4
welfare OF the customer. Get..

we learn these values in the

of the presence of God in

@. VIII you oaDe us little
information on ST. Depote?
A. The Book of Saints"
lists her as a virgin and mar
tyr whose feast day is Janu-
ary 27th. She was young girl
from Corsica who died under
torture on the rack during the
reign of the Emperor Diocle-
tian CAD. 303). Her remains
were brought to Monaco on
the Riviera by priest who
knew her: she is patron saint
of that city. The name is some
times written D'eyota.
q. Is the original statue of
the Infant Jesus of Prague still
IN that city nom that the Com
munistS control the country?
Is it possible TO get actual
photographs of the statue? Are
special devotionS held locally?
A. In the early seventeenth
century Princess Polixena of
Prague (then Bohemia) pre-
senbed the Carmelites til ere
with statue of the Infant. IL
was. lost and forgotten when
war and persecution came but
later the statue and devotion
to the (Miraculous) Infant
Jesus of Prague were restored.
While the Communists have
done a great deal to interfere
with freedom of religion there
seems no evidence that they
have dared to touch this ma
tlonal shrine, so it is likely
that the statue is still there.
Holy Family Church, 534 West
Broad Street, has a regular
novena in honor of the Infant
of Prague on Sunday evening;
the CATHOLIC TIMES regu-
larly lists the churches in CO.
u m b us which have various
special services and novenas.
For photographs etc, see your
book store.
Q. What is the origin of the
Miraculous Medal devotion?
A. This devotion has its or
igin in the apparition of the
B lesse d Virgin Mary of st.
Catherine Laboure in 1880.
During these apparitions Our
Lady gave S.. Catherine the
directions for making the me-
dal and il has been approved
under the sacramentals of the
Church with indulgences etc.

A. 1t is impossible for the
atheist to explain the universe.
He must try to explain the ex-
istence Of intelligence and free
will of the general design and
agreement, of mankind of
moral law etc. without any
adequate cause. From pure
matter, points of energy or
some such material he would
have us believe there came the
mind of man, the heroism in
bearing and in relieving suf-
fering etc, The arguments for
the existence of God prove the
atheist unreasonable. The
problem of suffering and evil
in the world. along with the
power and goodness of God is
solved by the Bible in tracing
the general disorder in the
world to original sin and is
resolved by union with Christ
in accepting these temporary
and external evils. God does

@. What happened to the
feast of the Solemnitg of st.
Joseph, April 18th?
A. With the changes in the
Breviary and MiSsal in January.
1856 the Solemnity was replac-
ed by the feast of st. Joseph
the Workingman on May 1st.
Many calendars were printed
too soon to include this change. :
but the Sotemnity no longer
is celebrated and the feast day
on MAY 1st is a double of the
first class. II turn it replaces
the feast of Saints Philip and
James, Apostles, which former

A. The Ark of the Covenant

ed the tables of the Law
(given to Nose 81 and other
gifts of God to the chose
people. Even when these pre-
cious contents were lost or :
stolen the ark was kept in the
Holy of Holes because of its
representation of Gods special
presence. Mary, the Ark of the
New Covenant, carried in her
womb Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. Her body was the first
tabernacle for the Son of God.
