Six Carmelite Sisters- (Continued From Page One) the centuries old Rule which has given to the world such out standing Saints as Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Simon Stock and, within the last sixty years, Therese of Lisieux, fa miliarly known as “The Little Flower.” St. Therese of Lisieux died in 1897 and was named by Pope Pius XI as Patroness of the Church’s Universal Missions. It seems almost paradoxical that a Sister who never left the walls of a convent in France should be revered as the Patroness of Missions. But it is the teaching of the Church that with the Graces of God, procured through prayer and penance, Missionary activity would be sterile activi ty. The Sisters of the Savannah Carmel, as do Carmelite Sisters the world over, will follow. the example of “The Little Flower.” Their day to day lives of Litur gical observance, prayer, work and penance will be offered for the spiritual welfare of the Dio cese of Savannah and fbr the speedy realization of the express desire of Christ “that they all may be one” . . . that “there shall be but one flock and one shepherd.” The Convent will be formally dedicated in October and will be followed by an Open House on October 3, 4, and 5th.

We Catholics do not merely watch this drama, but we take part in it. In the Mass, we speak to God in a special way. Preparing ourselves by prayer for the sacrifice, we, through the priest at the altar, offer God our contrition, desire, praise, and petition. The most important part of the Mass is the offering we make of ourselves. At the Offertory and at the Consecration of the Mass we pledge our lives to God in union with the infinite offering of Christ. To live the Mass means to carry out that pledge in our daily lives. We know that it cannot end as we leave the Church. If our self- offered at Mass is sincere, it must continue through the day. To help us carry out our self- offering by doing God’s will in every action of our day, we have not only the memory of the sacrifice we have offered with Christ, but also the strength that has been poured into our souls by Holy Communion. In Communion we have received Christ. In our daily lives we carry Him and His strength with RICHARD DTJNSTON us to help us live the Mass. Truly, the Mass is the Center of Catholic Worship.
