MY LAST BOOK, by James
M. Giilis, C.S.P., edited by Jos
eph McSorley, C.S.P., a selec
tion of the Spiritual Book As
sociates (Kenedy, $3.95).
Father Giilis, of the Paulist
Fathers, “perhaps the most not
ed American Catholic journalist
of his time,” was 80 years old
when he died on March 14, 1957.
He had been a priest for 56
years. H i s syndicated column,
Sursum Corda, had appeared in
The Bulletin and many other
Catholic papers, over a period
of 25 years. He had taught
Church History and theology,
had preached and lectured, had
edited The Catholic World, had
spoken on NBC’s Catholic Hour,
and had authored nine books,
the latest being This Mysterious
Human Nature.
During the long months of
this gifted priest’s last illness,
knowing that he was near the
end of his busy life, he wrote
this book, which is published on
the first anniversary of his
death. In a foreword, he said:
“ ‘Meditations’ would be per
haps too ambitious a word to
describe the contents of this lit
tle book. Shall we say rather
‘Thoughts,’ or ‘Opinions,’ or ‘Re
flections,’ or ‘Musings’? What
ever designation seems best, the
writer hopes that these infor
mal jottings may serve the pur
pose of some readers who are
looking not for a set of carefully
elaborated meditations but for
hints and suggestions.”
His “jottings” are brief, chat
ty tidbits of wisdom, on all sorts
of subjects, gleaned from his
long, full life of service. The
collection is “a sort of minia
ture spiritual autobiography,” as
the editor says; “. . . permeated
with recurrent mention of
truths which had been the scaf
folding of his own inner life and
the inspiration of his priestly
activities . . . (such as) the high
worth of nature and natural,
virtue; the wide spread of the
sacramental principle that dis
closes God’s gifts and even God
DON'T MISS . . .

Himself, present and active not
only in the Incarnation, the
Church, the Mass, but always
and everywhere; the indispen-
sibility of the cross . . . The les
sons here presented . . . will
echo, as they were meant to
echo, from heart to heart, from
mind to mind — hearts that seek
peace, minds that seek truth.”
They are a priceless legacy
from the generous heart and
the active mind of the modern
American apostle, teacher, and
spiritual director.
THE LORD'S PRAYER, by
Romano Guardini, translated
from the German by Isabel Mc
Hugh (Pantheon, $2.75).
“Anyone who undertakes to
comment upon the Lord’s Prayer
joins an illustrious line which
goes a long way back,” Monsig
nor Guardini begins his preface.
“For, from the first century on
wards, Christian thinkers and
men of prayer have been seek
ing to explore to its depths this
purest expression of Christ’s in
most being . . . We feel daunted
by the great men who have gone
before us; but the words of rev
elation call each age to in
terpret them afresh . . .”
So, this great contemporary
thinker and man of prayer, pro
fessor of philosophy at the Uni
versity of Munich, who is inter
nationally known for his writ
ings which interpret religious
truths in modern terms, proceeds
to explore, phrase by phrase,
the great prayer with which
Jesus responded to the request,
“Lord, teach us to pray.” He ap
plies the familiar words, too of
ten grown monotonous by repe
tition, to current problems and
modern psychology, probing
their depths and drawing out
hidden treasures of meaning.
In doing so, he goes from the
humblest analogies such as the
comparison of God’s love with
a mother’s love (“What does a
mother yearn for, and what is
her supreme delight? She has
given life to her child; she has
given it out from herself, to live
and breathe as an independent
being. Now it is growing up; the
little human life is unfolding
. . . What is the mother’s su
preme delight now? The fact
that this child turns back to her
with its first smile, its first
word, its first step ... In the
same way God yearns for His
creation, for humanity, to turn
back to Him by word and look,
by the motion of its love . . .);
to the highest truths which can
not be known “in the abstract;
one must realize them in prayer
and in love. That is why the
Christian lets go of everything
which spells security, rights,
demonstrable common sense.
But it is precisely in doing this
that he achieves harmony with
the love of God ... a union
which is stronger than all securi
ty ... In the measure that he
renounces security and surren
ders himself freely to the love
of God, in that same measure
does he experience a confidence
beyond all reason, and a hope
beyond all security. And then a

THE MEETING OF LOVE
AND KNOWLEDGE, by M. C.
D’Arcy, S. J., (Harper, $3.00).
THE CHRIST OF FAITH, by
Karl Adam, (Pantheon, ($6.00).
(Reviewed by Flannery
O’Connor)
Following Arnold Toynbee,
Aldous Huxley and others, there
is much current interest in a
syncretist religion which would
incorporate what Huxley calls
“the perennial wisdom” ■— the
highest common ideals in Hin
duism, Buddhism and Christi
anity. Father D’Arcy’s reasoned
argument is that, though there
is much to be gained from the
East, there is no highest com
mon denominator among these
religions. With the Eastern re
ligions it is a matter of extin
guishing individuality and de
sire; with the Christian of ful
filling them. “Without per
sons and personality there is
no Christian religion, and its
philosophy centers around this
thought that, whereas in brute
matter anonymity reigns rather
than individuality, as we as
cend the scale, separate individ
ualities emerge until in man
selfhood is found, the image of
that life where the richest per
sonality abounds.” In Buddhism
this world and the self are fin
ally of no account.
The best way to understand
the uniqueness of Christianity is
by a proper Christology. Al
though not concerned with syn
cretist thought, Karl Adam’s The
Christ of Faith provides the best
argumentation of the impossi
bility of Christianity’s being
fused into a syncretist religion.
This book is a Christology of
the living Church, based on tra
dition and dogma rather than
on a reconstruction of Christ’s
times as in Daniel-Rops’ Jesus
And His Times or on spiritual
intuition as in Monsignor Guar-
dini’s The Lord. Its base of ope
ration is the fact that the Church
knows Christ “out of her living
self-awareness which through
the centuries is its own ever re
newed testimony.” It is par
ticularly valuable in. its criti
cism of the errors of liberal the
ology, pointing out that the tex
tual critic assumes that Chris
tianity is something finished and
inflexible and has poured all its
vitality into its literature and
foundations and become fossil
ized in them. The Chrisi of Faiih
is a master work by one of the
Church’s greatest living theolo
gians.
A CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY
OF LIFE, by Bernard Wuellner,
S. J. (Bruce, $4.15).
Father Wuellner, professor of
philosophy at John Carroll Uni
versity and former associate edi
tor of Jesuii Educational Quar
terly, demonstrates that the spec
ulations of philosophers down
through the ages have a practi
cal value for man. His book
challenges the reader to con
sider the fundamental issues in
human life and to come to basic
decisions on its meaning and
conduct. He' presents the chief
problems of human life, along
with the principles needed to
help the mature reader make
intelligent decisions about them.
Cutting across all the border
lines of the various branches of
philosophy, the author turns the
spotlight on human life as a
theme common to all philosophi
cal thought and of vital con
cern to every thinking person.
More specifically, the book
sets the stage for an analysis of
the varied problems and issues
of human living. One at a time,
the author takes up the nature
of human life; its origin, its
purpose, the dignity of human
personality, the pattern of hu
man relationships to physical
nature, to God and to human
society, conflicts of living and
the expansion of natural life
into life of grace.
Father Wuellner is convinced
that the twentieth century phi
losophy cannot remain unaware
of the lessons of history. There
fore the modern philosophy can
not ignore the truths which
Christian theology has added to
the conclusion that can be
reached through reason alone.
While optimistically viewing
life as the God-given means for
man to work out his destiny in
a way suited to an intelligent
and free creature, the author
also realizes that life has its
sorrows, sufferings, cruelties,
and evils. In brilliant fashion he
has dealt with the attitudes that
should characterize the Chris
tian in the face of suffering.
CONSISTENT
The really great man remains
on the level always, but still
continues his upward climb.
WEEK CHARACTER
Experience proves that the
easier it is to reform a man the
oftener the job has to be done.
