It seems too that those who have suf fered are the ones who are im mediately attractive to them. They wear an invisible badge —their eyes, their speech, their bearing show that they carry a cross, too. The baubles of the world mean less to them. Their hearts are anchored on that which “robber cannot steal or moth corrupt.” * * * The day I write this hap pens to be the anniversary of the death of a Sister of the Holy Cross who suffered phy sical and spiritual agonies for years. She had a rare blood disease and endured 200 trans fusions before she died. She at tracted hundreds of souls who recognized her badge of pam. This little Sister had a prayer card printed that she circulat ed widely. She jokingly refer red to it as “a membership card in the fraternity of suf ferers.” Among the prayer- card carrying members was Dr. Tom Dooley. Here is the prayer for those who care to keep it in ther prayer books: YOUR CROSS The everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eter nity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost Heart. This cross He now sends you He has considered with His all-know ing eyes, understood with His Divine mind, tested with His wise justice, warmed with lov ing arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not once too heavy for you. He has blessed it with His holy Name, annointed it with His grace, perfumed it with His consola tion, taken one last glance at you and your courage', and then sent it to you from hea ven, a special greeting from God to you, an alms of the all-merciful love of God.

LET HIM EAT HOMEMADE CAKE THE BULLETIN, May 13, 1961—PAGE 5 Question Box (Continued from Page 4) ing this inscription: Lumena Paxte Cum Fi. It is now com monly agreed that the three tiles were out of order and that the inscription should have read: Pax Tecum Filu- mena; i.e., the Latin for “Peace be to you, Philomena.” (“Phil- omena” itself is a Greek deriv ative meaning “beloved.”) HOW WERE the tiles con fused? It seems quite probable that they were deliberately disarranged after the remains of the “Philomena” first inter red there were removed (per haps during the eighth or ninth centuries when many relics of the catacombs were placed in Roman churches) and the re mains of another unknown person were buried there. WHY DID the explorers of 1802 immediately assume that the grave they discovered was necessarily that of a martyr? It was because the tomb con tained a glass vial, stained with the vestiges of blood. When found with certain sym bols, a vial of this kind was long considered prima facie evidence of a martyr’s resting- place. * * * Q. Didn't the Church offi cially approve of veneration to St. Philomena, and wasn't the Cure of Ars devoted to her? A. “St. Philomena” was nev er included in the Roman Martyrology. (There is another St. Philomena mentioned on July 5). Although a Mass was approved in her honor in 1855, her feast (August 11) was nev er extended to the entire Church. THE CURE OF ARS did have special devotion to “St. Philomena,” as did several oth er saints, including St. Made line Sophie Barat and St. Peter Chanel. But their devotion was based on pious belief as con tradistinguished from unassail able historical truth. The fact that a saint accepts as true what is merely legendary can not of itself bolster the empti ness of the legend. Nor, by the same token can it detract from his holiness. * * * Q. Weren't there miracles wrought through the inter cession of St. Philomena? How can they be explained now? A. Miracles have definitely been wrought through prayers directed to the person who was thought to be St. Philomena. “The Catholic answer,” writes Father Francis Connell, “is that they may have been gen uine miracles, such as cures above the powers of nature, performed by the special inter vention of God for the benefit of those who prayed to Him through the intercession of this reputed saint . . . The saint or his relics are merely a means of approaching God more effectively . . . And if there is an error regarding the identity of the saint or the au thenticity of the relics, God may nevertheless hear the prayer and grant the favor in consideration of the fervor and good faith of the one who prays.” * * * Q. One newspaper report had is that the central shrine of St. Philomena in Italy must be rededicated now. Is this true? A. The popular shrine- church of St. Philomena near Naples has never been offi cially dedicated to St. Philo mena. Since the title was never conceded (the Congregation of Rites would not permit it), the shrines does not have to be re dedicated. GENERAL TIRES GENERAL BATTERIES TEXACO PRODUCTS GENERAL TIRE £ SUPPLY CO. Broad at Twelfth St. AUGUSTA, GA. Dear Doris: I have a serious family problem. About six months out of seven my parents argue over practically nothing at dinner time. My father is the thrifty type; and when he leaves three or four dollars a day to feed a family of six, he expects to come home and see a lot of food on the table plus money left over. One of the things he complains about is the cake. He expects a big cake for a low price. He comes home about an hour before dinner but doesn’t start arguing until dinner is on the table. He complains about silly things but it usual ly winds up with someone getting hit. I try to calm him down but I get hit for butting in. My sisters say its none of my business but they get so upset they can’t eat. If I don’t stop him he gets so mad he hits my mother. What can I do to get peace back into my family? Troubled TAKES TWO TO ARGUE Dear Troubled: I agree with your sisters; don’t interfere. It takes two to have an argument. If no one talked back to your father he wouldn’t have anyone to argue with. Lots of men are tired and nervous after a hard day’s work. They have aggravations on the job which we can’t un derstand. But most control themselves, and at worst are irritable when they come, home I’m not excusing your fa ther’s behavior. But instead of interfering why don’t you and your sisters pool your energy and ideas and do something about this “big cake.” Surprise your father and bake one. A homemade cake is far cheaper, and tastes better, too. For that matter you could do some thing about the entire dinner. That old adage still works, “the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” And, I’ll add-through prayer. Let’s tackle the prayer first. “It moves mountains.” It could also improve your dad’s dis position. Your parents have the benefit of a sacrament for their state in life. Are they using its graces? Why not sug gest that you go to Mass to gether next Sunday? Make a novena to St. Joseph. He was a working man. And, I’ll bet a thrifty one. He wiil under stand your problem and your father. Three or four dollars a day isn’t much with which to feed a family of six. But it isn’t rock bottom either. Help your mother stretch it by planning a budget and weekly menus.

They furnish economical and interesting recipes, too. You and your sisters should take turns preparing dinner so your mother can be free and rested when your father comes home. If you have a Family Life course in your school be sure and talk to the instructor. She will be glad to help you. Lastly, examine your own behavior and attitude. Since this sounds like a regular thing, you may be anticipating it. And you may, unconscious ly, irritate your father. So while you are praying for peace pray also for patience. It will help your family now and you in the future. BOOK ON MANNERS Dear Doris: I would like to know where I can purchase a book for teen-agers on good manners? Freddy Dear Freddy: You can purchase a book on manners at any good book store or directly from the pub lisher. Why not first browse in the library and get an idea of what’s available. There are many books of this kind and one will appeal to you more than others. If there is no book store in your town, I’m sure the librarian or a teacher will help you. You can also write The Queen’s Work and ask for a list of pamphlets on manners. These are very good and less expensive than a book. The address is The Queen’s Work, 3115 South Grand Blvd., St. Louis 18, Missouri. Doris Revere Peters answers letters through her column, not by mail.

Because Americans cannot feel that they are per sonally involved in the exotic and erotic depravity of these dissolute parasites in a foreign city. The film is, we might say, a superior type of social decu- mentary. NO PLOT Fellini has strung together the juciest scandals of the last four years in Rome but there is no continuity among them. As a result there is no plot to the story. Nor is there any character in whom we can be- c o m e genuinely interested. Fellini does not develop cha racter. That is not his style. The brash young journalist who has the lead in the movie is debauched at the beginning of the picture and the rest of the story is just more of the same. Fellini is the combination preacher and sociologist de nouncing the whole mad nest of gigolos, prostitutes, bored aristocrats, disillusioned intel lectuals, money-mad photog raphers and lecherous movie stars. All these clinical cases are presented without any real attempt to lighten the atmo sphere with a touch of humor. Fellini is supposed to have a deliciously sardonic wit but he doesn’t use it here. In short, Fellini has unmask ed a group of depraved human beings in an Italian city but he has not universalized the problem. He does not make Americans feel they are in volved. It is revolting to learn that Renaissance villas are be ing used for lush and bawdy orgies but all this debauchery seems unreal and far-away from us. We can’t seem to get excited about all the yakkity- yak by jades and perverts (in English subtitles). It may be exciting to Ital ians. Perhaps there are sym bols in the film that we Ameri cans don’t understand. Maybe the Italian version says things that are not contained in the English subtitles. But the ver sion I saw left me cold. I couldn’t care less about this nest of parasites in a foreign city. Fellini points an accusing finger at these parasites but they are Rome’s problem. This is “one world” and all that — but we can’t get too ex cited about a purely local prob lem in Italy. We have plenty to worry about here at home. TWO COMPLETE PLANTS 1007 Peachiree St., N.
