Bowie reaches the midway

or human.
Is that possible? Nearer than the everpresent
God the Father? Dearer than God the Son, our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? Yes, for in the
Church's prayer and poetry, they are compared
to our Father or our friend, or our brother, or
our spouse, but He, the Holy Spirit is compared
to our life itself to our very own souls. Our
Lord Himself said it was good for US that He
should go in order that the Paraciete, God and
the Holy Ghost might come to us.
And when He comes, what will He do? The
answer, in a single word taken from our popular
hymn to the Holy Ghost is simply this, He
creates For He is the Love of God, and love
is always creative, especially divine love.
In the beginning before the heavens and
earth were made, when there was nothing but
darkness upon the deep, we read that the Spirit
of God brooded over the waters and life came
forth. And at Nazareth when all creation labor
ed under the cloud of sin, the Holy Spirit OF
God overShadowed humble virgin by the name
of Mary and a new creature splendid sinless
Redeemer stirred within her.
That same Spirit of God is abroad today,
laboring to complete the work of his creation
and redemption. The Church with boundless con-
fidence and immense longing, as a man longs
for life, cries out these days for the coming
of the Holy Ghost From the depths of her hui
manity she cries out to the heights of His divin-
ity to come and fill her emptiness, strengthen
her weakness, heal her sickness
On Pentecost Sunday morning that cry will
once again be answered, and the presence and
work of that Holy Spirit will once again begin
in the Church and continue anew its growth in
the living body of the Church.
And you are the Church-JE.K.

who Does He Think He Is!

Here's a cooling thought for a summers day:
do you remember what you were doing just six
months ago this week?
Well, you were probably getting ready for
Christmas At least if you were living in the spirit
of the Church'S year you were. Twenty-six weeks
ago this week it was the first week of Advent,
the beginning of the Church year, and we were
getting ready to celebrate in the Liturgy that
round of feasts which reenacts each year the life
Of Christ on earth.
That life was complete just this last week
when we celebrated the Feast of the Ascension of
our Lord into heaven When the altar boy pinched
out the Easter Candle during the Gospel-at the
words so then the Lord was taken up into
heaven"--then We knew that the light of Christ,
symboized by that candle, had departed from us
for another year.
Who will take his place. what will be the
center of the Church's worship for the next
twenty-six weeks, the long Sundays after Pente-
cost?" 1t is the one for whom the Church prays
so ardently during these nine days between the
Feasts of the Ascension and of Pentecost.
CThis by the way is the oldest and most import
ant of all the "novenas" or nine days of con-
tinuous prayer) 1t is the one who is to come
on Pentecost in answer to our prayer 1t is of
course the Holy Ghost.
A question that is, then, as timely as it is
important is who is he?" Or as the angry Mite
Club proprietor in Father Malaehys Miracle
said, Holy Ghost indeedl Just who does he
think he is?" Well, He is (and He knows iD the
Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, true and
eternal God. And if that sounds at all cold or
hard to understand then know this: that He is,
in human terms, nearer and dearer to us than
any other person in heaven on earth, divine

inescapaby follows that there must be a heaven

And who goes to hell? The third grader would

SIM But did not Christ speak of a sin against
the Holy Spirit that would not be forgiven in this
world or in the next? Yes He did in st. Matt
hews Gospel xii, 32) )and st. Johns First
Epistle ", 16 SD tell us of the sin unto death.
1t certainly is a mortal sin. but what specific
ally is the one He refers to? We know that any
mortal sin can be forgiven man who is con-
trite and resolute not to make the descent again.
The theoIogian Dr. Noldin tells us that the
sin referred to is the sin committed by the
Pharisees. These hypocrites attributed the mir
acles of Christ to the devil They sinned against
the divine goodness. which prompted God to
work miracles to confirm our faith or to convert
sinners II is sin that proceeds from heart
oozng with malice and hatred. In our day we
might find comparable crime in ascrbing the
miraculous works that do sometimes occur to
nature, or to the devil
Our Lord does not say that this sin cannot
be forgiven He says 1T shall not be forgiven"
Obviously He foresees that the person guilty of
such sin will never repent
ST. Augustine explains the words as referring
to six sins: Presumption, despair, the impugning
of known truth, the envy of our brothers grace,
obstinacy, and impeHitence. In some way or
another every one of these six sins is sin
against the Holy Spirit and unforgivable, not
because God is unwilling to forgive them, but
because the sinner has a heart and mind blind
and obdurate, full of malice The sinner thus rem
ders forgiveness impossible since God will not
justify anyone who is unwilling.-J.C.

A. AT the beginning of Mass
we have a kind of confession
of sin and public absolution
as we have just before Holy
Communion (Confiteor an d
Indulgentiam). These and sim
liar practices existed through
out the history of the Church.
The private confession of sins,
however, existed from the be-
ginning. 1t is true that in the
early Church the penitents
were often absolved in group
after a time of doing penance
(fulfilling their penance be-
fore absolution) but they had
made their private confession
of sins earlier. 1t was at that
time that the penance was as
signed. Christ made clear the
necessity of private confession

Making Marriage Click

look to the future TRANQUILITY, and
we shall do it through the eyes

As for the youth of Poland to-
day, Cardinal Wsyzynski said
that "the formidable theological
pressure" to which they had been
subjected by the Reds should have
been their downfall. But he
added:
1T is not so. The yearning of
the heart for liberty could not be
destroyed.
"A singular force has come

year, the feast of the immaeu-
late Conception, there was
signed a decree introducing the
Catholic religion in the COM

compulsory. But the parents

The cardinal warned against
carping on this question "lest
we sacrifice for these children
that one thing necessary" He
stressed the great need of the
Polish people for unity.
Cardinal Wyszynski told the
congregation that his greatest
service would be to let them know
that Poland is a nation which "is
working and sometimes win
ming" one which "endures like
a tree whose leaves have fallen
and whose crown has changed,
but whose trunk remains.
He said that as he has watched
Poland rebuild its churches in
recent months he has seen the

I'VE do not see how, in all
honesty, one could use the au-
thority of the Bishops of Que
bee for advocating right-to-
work laws, that is to say, laws
forbidding employers and
worker to include provisions
for union security in their col

completely contrary to the

II is still true that cities are
likely to have an excess of un-

likely TO have an excess of UNI

as the better men become rarer

days? As so many stores are
open it seems almost an Gccep-
ted thing. What If you t0ork
in a store that is open ON
Sunday? Is it all right to shop
on a HOLIDAY?
A. Generally speaking it is
sin to shop or to work on
Sunday. While there are ex-
ceptions where a grave reason
excuses, the law of God is
serious and too many people,
including some Catholics per-
haps, are becoming lax in that
regard. For Christians it will
never become an accepted
thing. If person must work
on Sunday because his work is
essential to the common good
(e.g. transportation, police,
drugs, etc. then that is not a
violation of the law. There is
no blessing on the business or
on the customer who deliber-
ately ignores the Lords Day
for his own profit or conven-
ience. All unnecessary SER
vile work or business is for
hidden under pain of mortal
sin. The same would apply
to holyday, but in our coun-
try it is practically necessary
for all businesses to remain
open and so there would seem
to be some justification for
shopping on holydays Except
Christmas or the Circumci-
sion) if there is some proper
tionate reason.

So far as the present writ
er is concerned, Father Dion's
authoritative Interpretation of
the French Canadian Pastoral
is the last word on the subject
Unless and until his analysis
of the Pastoral is repudiated
by the French Canadian hier-
archy, it ought to put an end
to the controversy referred to
above. If his Interpretation of
the Pastoral is correct, there
is absolutely no doubt that the
Archbishops and Bishops of
French Canada are definitely
in favor of the union shop
(even in the case of so-called
neutral unionSl and that they
are definitely opposed to the
enactment of right-to-work leg
