They were being board
ed in a home for children
of broken families. A
small minority of them
were there because of a
catastrophe illness or a ma
.ior emergency in their own
home.
THESE CHILDREN had the
usual problems of children
anywhere, but basically they
were all right. The parents
and other relatives had con-
tact with them, saw them
frequently, correspondent with
them, and sent them gifts.
These children would have
preferred being with their
own, naturally, but they were
not unhappy where they were.
Most of the boarders, how
ever, came from families
which had been disrupted by
divorce, desertion, alcoholism,
mental illness, crime, and the
like. These were the insecure
ones. They sought affection
where they could find it
from the maintenance man,
the delivery man, the casual
visitor.
They Wed for the attention
of the Sisters and the staff,
or they we're so withdrawn
that they turned away from
or rejected outright overtures
of friendliness.
They needed love; but,
equally important although
less obviously, they needed
someone to love-someone
who would willingly and grac-
iously receive what they had
to offer.
THIS WAS demonstrated
one Christmastime.. Many of
them we're going home" for
the holidays. In the weeks
and days before, with the en-
enlargement of the Sisters,
they had made things, worked
up spiritual bouquets, and
spent their money on pres
ents that they were going to
give. They had already re-
ceived many gifts themselves
from service organizations IN
the community and they want
ed to show those off also.
Most of all, however, they
wanted to be able to give to
someone.
They sort of flOated out of
the place on Christmas Eve
loaded down with their gaily
wrapped presents and glowing
with anticipation of the sur
prises they had in store for
their mothers or fathers.
Many of them returned a few
days later in a different frame
of mind. They were sullen and
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-07-06

From now on, they would be
extremely wary of showing
their feelings and their hearts
in gifts to anyone. If their
own parents did not want to
receive from them, who else
could they hope in?
Sometimes the biggest gift
of love a parent can show to
a child is a willingness to be
loved by him. If a parents
role is to stand in the place
of God to answer a child's
need of being lover, it is also
his dignity to receive in Gods
name the child's fumbling at
tempts to love.
To take time out to praise a
child's attempts to help, to
encourage his doing for a
brother or sister, to compli-
ment him on an effort, if not
a performance, to point out
ways for him to be consider
ate, but most of all just to
recognize and appreciate and
receive and allow him to give
is to do the work of God.
For a child is made to the
Image and Likeness of God.
God, st. John says, is Love.
A child needs to love. And
for every giver of love, a re.
eeiver of love is needed.

matter is not clear, but it is generally admitted that
it was held in great esteem by the North Americans,
