Serious disobedience against a Church precept is in volved in such a sin, true. But more basically, missing Mass of one’s own fault on a Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation entails refusal to worship God publicly and as a member of society; hence, constitutes a transgres sion of the Natural Law insofar as it has been defined by the Church. In his section on the Bible, Father Trese says; “The Bible is not everything, but it is a big something that no Catholic can afford to overlook.” His book too is “a big something that no Catholic can afford to overlook.” It is a must for soul- growth.

Q. What is the rule for determ ining what series of mysteries should be used when saying the Rosary? A. Each of the three sets of Rosary Mysteries (i.e., the Joy ful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries) represents a chrono logical succession of events re lating to the Incarnation and Redemption. Thus, the Joyful Mysteries relate to Christ’s birth and childhood; the Sor rowful Mysteries, to His passion and death; and the Glorious Mysteries, to His resurrection and ascension. Hence, it is cus tomary, in accordance with the days of the week, beginning with Monday. (There are spe cial norms for Sunday.) On Monday, then, the Joyful Mysteries are ordinarily used; on Tuesday, the Sorrowful; and on Wednesday, the Glorious. This same cycle is repeated for Thursday (the Joyful, again), Friday (the Sorrowful) and Saturday (the Glorious). On Sundays, as a general rule, the set of mysteries selected will depend upon the liturgical season. For the greater part of the year, the Glorious Mysteries are proper, since Sunday is principally a Little Easter, the anniversary of Christ’s Resur rection. During Advent and the Christmas season, however, the Joyful Mysteries may be used, because they pertain di- dectly to the historical events commemorated during this sea son. And in Lent when Christ’s passion and death are particu larly commemorated, the Sor rowful Mysteries may be used. THE HIDDEN FACE by Ida F. Goerres, Pantheon, $4.95. (Reviewed, by Cecilia L. Hines) The subject of this remark able study is Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, the Saint of the Little Way, who entered the Carmelite Convent at the age of fifteen, died of tuberculosis nine years later and whose life attracted very little attention. Yet in 1909 devotion to the little obscure nun became so widespread that pleas for her canonization liter ally poured into Rome and Carmel, often at the rate of fifty letters a day. Much has been written about St. Therese of Lisieux. To many writers she seems to typify the world of bourgeois French Ca tholicism prevalent in her time and to others a certain aspect of mysticism and intellect. Nei ther approach is satisfactory so that, at the present time, she has become a fascinating and enigmatic figure somewhat un appealing to 20th century minds. Frau Goerres has traced for us the development of an au thentic human character and at the same time given us a con vincing interpretation of her sancity; an interpretation based on the facts of the Saint’s life itself. The author developed this with a candid approach Theology for The Layman (Continued from Page 4) But because He was God, His act had an infinite value, by which it compensated, out weighed, not only all the sin men ever had committed but all they ever could. That, in essence, is why it is redemptive. Every act of Christ was infi nite in value because He who performed it was God. Why then did He offer His death, and some lesser act — the tears, for example, that He shed over Jerusalem? It is always peril ous to think one knows why God does one thing and not an other. His ways are unsearch able, our mind is not His. But at least we can say that had He chosen some offering less than His life, there would have been a permanent feeling in the mind of man — not a dissatisfaction exactly, but not total satisfaction either. We should have been left with the sense that in our redemption the human nature had played only a token part, leaving the infinity of the divine Person to do the whole work. Whereas He chose that His human nature should give its all, leaving the Person to provide only the in- ^dirst ^rederai Savings and Loan Association OF AUGUSTA Current Dividend Rate 3V2% EACH ACCOUNT INSURED UP TO $10,000 BY FEDERAL SAYINGS & LOAN INSURANCE CORPORATION 127 SEVENTH STREET PHONE PA. 2-3571 finite value which human na ture never could provide. Observe the words “He chose.” No man could inflict death upon Him aganist His will. He says again and again that He would “lay down” His life for His sheep. “I am laying down my life to take it up again afterwards. Nobody can rob me of it; I lay it down on my own accord.” (John X.17-18). He did not choose that men should slay Him, of course. But since men willed to slay Him because He had fearlessly spoken the word of God against them, He chose to let them do the worst that was in them. Through love, He Himself would be the victim of fered in sacrifice: they would slay Him, He would offer His death for the sins of all men, including theirs. It is essential at this point to re-read what Matthew (Ch. 26) Mark (Ch. 14) and Luke (Ch. 22) have to tell us of the Agony in the Garden. He would take upon Himself the sins of men that the offer ing He made of Himself might be real expiration. In Gethsem- ani we get some glimpse of what the taking meant to Him. For nothing He does is fiction or pretense. He could not make His own the guilt of other men’s sins: guilt can be only in the sinner. But He took the burden of them, the weight: above all the weight of all the sorrow that we, all men, should have felt for our sins and have not felt. It all but killed Him. But His Father, answering His agonized prayer, sent an an gel “to comfort Him.” For that hour He lived. Death waited for Calvary. and brilliant craftmanship from painstaking research among the processes of Canonization and documentation from the ar chives of Carmel. She does not ask us to believe in a “neurotic saint” but an extremely egocen tric personality battling to achieve holiness in a way no more easy or natural than it would be for any of us. This portrait in writing — like the original photographs — is not radically different from the other versions but it is certainly more believeable. Some readers, reviewers too, may be disturbed by this very candid appraisal and feel that the writer has belittled the Saint’s contemporaries. Those who have been confused by too much “sugar coating” in many biographies will get a clearer view of the girl who “lived the sanctity and transparency of ordinary life” and learn the significance of this sanctifica tion. For the saints are not static; they are always growing in love and grace. Saint Pius X called her the greatest saint of the century. She stands on the crossroads be tween the “old” and the “new” piety. Not for nothing was the Little Flower made the patron of the missionary field or the close bond between her love of God and her love of sinners (made obscure by the early translations of “sinners” in the Autobiography and Letters as “unbelievers” or “those ignorant and full of worldly thoughts” recognized for what it is — the opening out of vistas of spirit ual growth for every soul. Frau Goerres who has writ ten many books in German about saints and sanctity has made a major contribution (reverent and brilliant) to the literature on St. Therese and literature itself. The very read able English translation has been done by Richard and Cla ra Winston.

JIM BRESNAHAN Dixie Distributors AUGUSTA, GEORGIA cream in every pound THE FAITH EXPLAINED, by Leo J. Trese, Fides, $5.95. (Reviewed by Mary Rhell) This book brings together in one volume all of the wonder ful booklets that Father Trese has written for the Confrater nity of Christian Doctrine Dis cussion groups. He speaks in the language of today. He clari fies the truths learned in cate chism class long ago. The cate chism, using the format of question and answer, is limited in scope. Father Trese uses a free, conversational style that anyone can understand, be he convert, would-be convert, born Catholic, or interested non- Catholic. Specifically, he was asked for a commentary on Baltimore Catechism Number Three for adults, by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. It took four years for him to complete the task. The result is a book that should be in every home as a reference hook and as a source of spiritual enrichment when ever the reader picks it up. The book follows the lesson plan of the catechism, which is divided into three parts: the Creed, the Commendments, the Sacraments and prayer. Father Trese puts the whole Catholic doctrine before his reader in a clear style that will delight and inform at the same time.
