The story of the Holy Family is told, in these two books, from two viewpoints—Mary’s, by Sis ter Mary Jean Dorcy; and Jos eph’s, by Wilfred Sheed. Al though each tells substantially the same story, there are dif ferences in accent. And since, traditionally, “never enough is said about Mary,” there is no end to the possible ways of tell ing the story of the Holy Fam- ily .

(Reviewed by Flannery O’Connor) This is the spiritual autobio graphy of an artist, now a mem ber of the Catholic Evidence Guild, who was brought up in a materialist atmosphere with only a few depressing religious encounters in her youth. After unsuccessful psychoanalysis for recurrent depression and a near addiction to morphia, she fell into the Church in one of those conversions for which there is no logical explanation except grace. It is always exciting to read a book of this kind where the reader knows the outcome from the beginning but must wait to Theology for The Layman (Continued from Page 4) tual love as a Breath in which the whole of their being is breathed. I suppose that most people who have made an effort to hear what God is telling us about His innermost seif have had much the same experience as I. The first time I heard a really com petent lecture upon the Trinity, I followed it well enough, ad mired it, but made nothing very much of it. A year later I heard a second lecture, and this time I think I grasped all that the lec turer was saying, I was lost in admiration at the intellectual perfection of the doctrine’s structure, and from that time on I could have told anyone else the doctrine as it had been told to me. But in no sense was it alive in my m-frid; it was simply an intellectual possession, some thing I could visit when I felt like it and enjoy visiting, then put away again into the back of the mind. It was a year or two later that another series of lectures came my way, and the doctrine was at last alive. For most people something like that happens — first an intellectual response, then a vital response, till the doctrine possess the mind, and the mind would be desolate without it. It was at the Last Supper, as St. John tells us, that Our Lord gathered together all those hints he had been giving of a plurali ty within the one God, and gave His apostles the fullest state ment of the doctrine of the Trinity. Thus it was just before He died as man that He told us of the deathless life He lives within the Godhead.

Put into words it would be intolera ble. The sufficient reason for giving our whole mind to the doctrine is that it is the truth about God.

Supreme Pontiff acts through wor id: and vicar upon earth of local bishops. Q. What is the papal "liara," and what does it signify? A. The “tiara” or “triregnum” is a papal crown, about a, foot and a half in height, worn by the Supreme Pontiff during his coronation and at certain other high solemnities.
