A Sure Cure For Heart Trouble

of Christ there is more than human love. Be-
cause Christ is God His Heart is pulsatng with
the boundless Love of God The Infinite Love of
God has taken on flesh and the Heart of Christ
is the living expression of that Love.
In one of our prayers we ask that our hearts
may be made to resemble the Heart of Christ:
"Make our hearts like unto Thine" The Sacred
Heart is the Divine Model for all Christian hearts.
We ask Christ to fashion our hearts after His
own Sacred Heart We ask Him to teach us those
magnificent virtues that make up truly Chris
ton personality: charity, gentlenesS, humility,
patience, forgiveness magnanimity, generosity,
senStiyity loveableneSs politenesS simplicity
and the rest. We ask Him to fill our hearts with
love that is pure, selfless, directed to the
Eternal Father and properly ordered toward
men and creatures.
We ask Him to give us the Spirit of Love,
His Holy Spirit who will form our hearts, sane
tify them, purify them, make them like the
Divine Model. For the Christian this is the
only good-heartedness possible. Our hearts are
good and pleasing to God only when they re-
fleet the Heart of Christ. This is Christian per-
lection.
On the Feast of the Sacred Heart the
Church pays special honor to the Heart of
Christ, the Symbol of His love for us. AT the
same time She urges us to take special care of
our hearts She prescrbes the special treat
ment for all our spiritual heart trouble: great
dose of the love of Christ.
If Christ's love is strong in our hearts we
will have little trouble with wayward affections.
In the Epistle of the Mass She urges: MAY
Christ find dwellingplace through faith, in
your hearts, may your lives be rooted in love.

Making Marriage Click

ally be interchanged for the

Look for Maturity
l. Is she the type who lets
her mother do all the work
while she spends her time in
self-admiration and preening?
Is she the drifting type who is
just waiting for someone to
come along and solve all her
problems? Or is she busily pre-
pairing to be a homemaker? Is
she someone who welcomes
criticisms and profits by them;
whose reading includes some
non-fiction books and maga-
zines, who is good listener
as we'll as good talker? Does
she have talents and skills
which can be repeated and
which can grow or is she a one
time winner in a beauty con-
test and only that.

The Yardstick
New Book Over Emphasizes
Liturgy Lack In Social Action
By Msgr. George G. Higgins

he was of the opinion that the
social action movement Cup to
the time of his death in 1889
paid far too little attention to
the liturgy, which, he constant
ly insisted, is the indispensable
basis of Christian social recon
Struction.
Honest Reporting
Father Marx is scrupulously
fair and objective in summarize
ing MichePs criticism of the
social action movement. To his
credit as a scholar, he is no
respecter of persons. He re-
ports, for example, that Michel
was critical even of the great
est of American Catholic So
cial actionists, his personal
friend and colleague, the late
Msgr. John A. Ryan.
Despite his admiration of
the pioneer work of the great
John A. Ryan," Father Marx
states, "Michel confided to in
Inmates his belief that Ryan
relied too much on legislation
and the state, and tended to be
too purely economic and
'statist' in his approach to the
social problem. that there was
nothing cultural about his pro-
gram, and too little insistence
on the absolute need of the
spiritual in social reform and
on the need for a general spir-
itual revival for complete
program of Christian social re-
generation"
This is honest reporting, but
Father Marx hastens to add, in
his own name, that Father Mi
chel and some other critics of
the Catholic social action move
ment would have been more
effective as social reformers
had they had the grasp of Geo.
nomics that was the pioneering
Ryan's, without whose special
lied work there would hardly
have been a social movement
in the 1905 and 1940's."
This is typical of Father
Marks scholarly objectivity.
While he agrees, in general,
with Michel's rather severe
criticism of the Catholic social
action movement, he leans over
backward to see the problem

for himself and for others
who already plans for the years
ahead and is working towards
a definite goal?
3. Does he accept others for
what they are or does he child
ishly label others who oppose
him with names like: "Sour.
puss", Jerk, Square? Can
he meet strangers of both SEX
es easily and do they feel at
ease with him? Does he openly
enjoy making new friends or
does he blush and stammer and
embarrass others? Is he pos
sessive, demanding, subject to
jealousies? Does he have to boss
all the time or does he enjoy
planning l1ith others?
4. Can she express her emo
tions in wholesome construc-
tive way or does she always
explode. Can she carry heavy
emotional burdens without
cracking under them? For it is
sometimes said that a girl does
not become a lady until she has
had her first tragedy or her
first diamond ring. Does she
cry when little things distress
her: her cat is sick or her
friend moves out of town, the
rain suddenly interrupts pic
mic? Can she pray and occupy
her time constructively when
she is alone or does she get
so bored that she frantically
avoids being alone?
If you do not want to marry
a precious little vegetable but
someone with capacity for
growth, look for someone with
some of the good qualities men,
toned above.
