THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
LOOKS AT THE LAYMAN

Union City, N. 1.-THE
Catholic Church "looks upon
passivity in a layman with
SUSPICION" Rev. Kilian Nc
Donnell, Benedictine theologi-
an, declares in an article in the
! April issue of The Sign, ma
tional Catholic magazine pub
lished here.
with that same suspicion
and alarm" Father Mcdonnell
says, with which we view
that stiffening which pre-
cedes DEATH" "Passivity and
DEATH" he adds, "are kim
folk"
Quoting Pope Plus XII that
"the faithful, and more pre-
cisely the laity are stationed
in the front ranks of the life
of the Church," the Benedic-
tine priest asserts:
Far from thinking of the
laity as something tackled on
to the Church, the Holy
Father says, with what might
be called papal daring, They
are the Church. :"
Baptism and Confirma-
ton deny to the layman the
dubious luxury of passivity,"
Father Mcdonnell continues,
Bringing the world to Christ
is the demand of the layman
by these Sacraments.
obviously the activity OF
the layman in the Church is
under the direction of the
Pope and bishops. But with
in the limits of that authori,
ty, can the layman take nc
initiative, solve no problems
SIN the Church there is
, room for a healthy difference
of opinion. Though the lay
man is guided by Catholic
principles, the Church doe:
not impose ready-made
| priestly solution for all thu
, detailed problems of inter
national relations, economics
labor. The layman has much
work to do"

"ONLY BORROWED"

When Christ was born in
Bethlehem,
The Lord of all the earth,
There was no room in house
or inn
For such noble birth.
In vain they sought through
city streets
And Mary greatly sorrowed,
At last they found a Manager
Bed
But it was only borrowed.
s.~ ~ IM O. ii
When in the shadow of the
Cross
He with His friends did dine,
In memory of His sacrifice
He blessed the bread and
wine:
He had no room to be a host
To His close friends who sor-
rowed,
He took them to the Upper
Room
And it was only borrowed.
~8.
They took His body from the
Cross, ~
Mid mockery and scorn,
And laid it in a hewn tomb
Awaiting Easter morn.
He broke the hush of death,
came forth,
And greeted those who sor-
roWed:
Death could not hold the Son
of God,
The tomb was only borrowed.
81 IN3saA!4
And now We share the Easter
joy
Of heralding the story
That Christ is not in Joseph's
Tomb,
But reignfng up in Glory.
God only loaned Him to this
world
Because in sin it sorrowed:
He bore the load of sin for all,
Yes, Christ was only Dor
roWed.
