Theology for The Layman (Continued from Page 4) culties as his or hers and be came a great saint. For the men and women ca nonized by the Church are of every sort, rich and poor, learn ed and ignorant, powerfully tempted or hardly at all, people of evil life who have repented, people who from infancy have not deviated from the love of God and neighbor. It is no ex aggeration to say that the saints are as various, as Cath olic in that sense, as the Church itself. Three characteristics of the mark of Holiness were given in the last article, the teaching, the means, the saints. It may have been noticed that, in treating the teachings and the means, we brought in the saints; it may be wondered what is left to say of them. But in all three characteristics they are used differently. In the teaching we saw them as the unchanging standard the Church sets; in the means, we saw them as witness to our weakness that holiness is possi ble even to us. Now, at last, we come to them as evidence to the whole world that the teaching is true teach ing and the means are effec tive means. For the saints are the people who have accepted wholeheartedly all that Christ, through His Church, offers them. In other words it is by the saints, and not by the mediocre, still less by the great sinners, that the Church is to be judged. It may seem a loading of the dice to demand that any insti tution be judged solely by its best members; but in this in stance it is not. A medicine must be judged not by those who buy it but by those who actually take it. A Church must be judged by those who hear and obey, not by those who half-hear and disobey when obedience is difficult. No Catholic is compelled — not by the Church, not by Christ — to be holy. His will is solicited, aided, not forced. In Francis Thompson’s words the Church is not a machine “To pack and label men for God And save them by the barrel-load.” Every man must make his own. response. The saints have responded totally; the rest of us respond partially, timorous ly (afraid to lose some sin in which we especially delight), or not at all. The saints in their thousands upon thousands stand as proof that, in the Church, holiness is to be had for the wild-ig. Every saint is certain evidence that, if you and I are not saints, the choice is wholly our own. We have come to an end of our consideration of the Marks of the Church. The point throughout has been to get at what the inner reality is which the Marks outwardly show. What should be clear is that in every case the inner reality is some special way in which Christ Our Lord functions in the Church. There is in fact a deeper presence of Christ than we have yet stated. To that we must now come.

I960- -PAGE 0 EDITED BY EILEEN HALL 3087 Old Jonesboro Road., Hapeville, Georgia Each issue of this Book Page is confided to the patronage of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, with the hope that every reader and every con tributor may be specially fav ored by. her and her Divine Son. THE LIVING PARISH, by Leo R. Ward, C.S.C., Fides, $3.95. “There is new life and some thing apostolic happening in the parishes . . .” Father Ward, of Notre Dame, refers in his in troduction to the parishes he has visited in eleven dioceses and nine states, observing con structive new developments taking place there. “The par ishes chosen are exceptional,” he says, “but others could be found to match them.” Among the new develop ments which he says are be coming common in American parishes, he lists: liturgical life and worship; the Legion of Mary; Catholic Action; renais sance of family life; conscious building of community; con sciousness of the parish as a living organism. He also lists a few of the many recurring problems in contemporary par ish life. RIGHT OF- (Continued from Page 3) everyone knows what religion means and whai worship means. To include the manifes tation of atheism in this cate gory, he said, would be to make a "Russian salad" of ihe rule and a laughing stock of the subcommission. Enrique Fabregat of Urugu ay, who also ' calls himself a rationalist, supported the Pol ish member. He maintained that more is involved than “an elementary division such as that between atheism and re ligion.” There are other systems of belief, the Uruguayan contin ued, such as Masonry. Are these “constructive and social form,” which contribute to the enlight enment of mankind’s destiny, to be excluded from protection in this rule, he asked. “A man like myself who at tempts to break through the curtain of clouds and seek the deity” deserves protection, he concluded. The rule as finally adopted by the subcommission now reads as follows: “1. Everyone should be free to worship either alone or in community with others, and in public or private. “2. Equal protection should be accorded to all forms of wor ship, places of worship and ob jects necessary for the perform ance of rites.” In the ten chapters which fol low he describes the specific parishes he visited and the re markable ways in which they are dealing with both the prob lems and the constructive de velopments. It all makes provo cative reading and the reader, priest or layman, is bound to keep asking himself how his own parish compares with these “exceptional” ones. He is also bound to absorb some ideas for pondering, ideas which may bear fruit. The parishes described are a cross section of American Catholic life: new parishes and old ones; urban parishes, rural parishes and suburban ones; poor parishes, inter-racial par ishes and a parish with no res ident faithful. But in all of them there is “new life and something apostolic happen ing,” a contagious surge of apostolic vitality in which ev ery devoted pastor and parish ioner is eager that his own “worship community” shall have its full share. JESUS CHHISTUS, by Romano Guardini, Regnery, $2.75. MARY, MOTHER OF FAITH, by Josef Weiger, Regnery, $5.00. (Reviewed by Flannery O'Connor) JESUS CHRISTUS is a short book of meditations on the life of Christ, originally delivered as sermons to the students at Berlin University when Monsi gnor Guardini was preparing to write his major work, The Lord. This book is only a sample of what is brought to fruition in The Lord. Perhaps it has been offered for those who would be frightened of a larger book. Any sample of Monsignor Guardini’s religious spirit can be grate fully received if it leads readers to his major work. MARY, MOTHER OF FAITH is a longer book of meditations on the life of the Virgin. Monsi gnor Guardini, who contributes the introduction, points out that there is “ a way of speaking of Mary which presupposes that honour is proportionate to the abandon with which one encom ium is piled upon another,” and that this tendency is respon sible for the aversion that many feel at the mention of Mary. This book avoids the treacly and exaggerated presentations that we are accustomed to re ceive in sermons and considers the mother of God largely in relation to the virtue of faith and its absolute necessity in her life. It is quiet and simple work but repetitious and not as intellectually stimulating as Jean Guitton’s book on the Virgin. BEST WISHES FROM CHARLES P. LOHG And JOHN T.

So too, those who decline small works in the alleged hope of under taking some major project in the future. In the words of one psychiatrist: "TO BE OF SERVICE, to do something useful, to be of help to people — if you only knew how often these wishes are ex pressed in the offices of r>hvsi- cians. Opportunities to do this are sighed for, as a hone for making life meaningful; but alas, unfortunately, often that is as far as it goes. Doctor John son was wont to say that he who waits to do a great deal of good all at once will never do any. Good is done bv degrees. To do the small, the modest thing which lies before us, to realize the spiritual irrevocabil ity of our smallest acts, this is to be useful . . .” * * * Q. How Iona should one take fo examine his conscience be fore going to confession? A. The duration of one’s ex amination of conscience will de pend largely upon the frequen cy with which one goes to con fession. A person who confesses every other week, for example, generally does not need over five minutes to examine his conscience. Those who have been away for relatively long periods, however, (three months or so) should ordinarily take more time — ten minutes per haps, or longer. A PRACTICAL way to exam ine one’s conscience is to review the Commandments of God and the Church, making mental notes of those which have been transgressed. The time given to expressing contrition for sin should be at least as long as that given to the examination of conscience. * * * Q. Is there any special reason why the news of Christ's birth was made known first of all to shepherds? A. As Christ was bom in com plete poverty, it was fitting that glad tidings of His birth be made known first to shepherds, who, then as now, are regarded as among the most humble and poverty-stricken of men. r KAiSTEN AND DENISON CO.
