Cross, be offered with that
One great Oblation? 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.

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.

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.

Most newspapers carry articles
on the best food buys in the
area. 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.

dull. Why? 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.
