FRANCIS (Continued from Page 1) rity,” a new Carmelite Nun knelt to receive the blessing of her bridegroom at Benedic tion of the Most Blessed Sac rament. Speaker for the clothing ceremony was the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John D. Toomey, pastor of St. James Church, Savan nah and Diocesan Vicar for Religious. Comparing entry into the Religious life to the Ascension of Christ into heaven, Monsig nor Toomey said, “This morn ing in this beautiful chapel of our Carmel, a young lady will depart from the world of vanity and material things and enter a life of prayer and re nunciation. She has, in effect said to us: “It is expedient for you that I depart.” “We may paraphrase these words: It is good for you that I depart, because I — with God’s grace, may be able to do much for you in my life of prayer. It is the best thing for ail of you that I depart, for I can do more with my life and my desires in Carmel.” The speaker also likened en try into Carmel to the cruci fixion. “But this is a joyous type of crucifixion, if we may use the word by way of ana logy. For we all know the bonds with which this world holds us in slavery. To break those bonds takes a courageous decision, for one is giving up both pain and pleasure at the same time.” “But few are willing to sac rifice the pleasure . . . and so there is no real death, but only entry into a freer life of the spirit — the joyous freedom of the sons of God.” Monsignor Toomey closed his remarks with a quotation from the prophet Osee, “I will lead her into solitude and I will speak to her heart.” After the ceremony, rela tives, friends and well-wishers went to the “Speak Room” to talk to Sister Francis of the Five Wounds before she re turned to begin her new life at the grill before the altar.

A sensible speed is one at which the driver can see dan ger and be able to maneuver the car clear of it under all conditions, states the Allstate Safety Crusade. Since ability to spot hazards decreases as speed increases, motorists will protect themselves by driving only as fast as vision and trac tion allow. ' N ' J firr.* >»! y> .

Our Advertisers A DIFFERENT NUN S STORY By the way — it really happened MACON—A parishioner of St. Joseph’s reports that she has long prayed that her only daughter would emulate the Blessed Mother as nearly as possible and that she would be blessed with a vocation to the Sisterhood. The mother writes that she was careful in suggestions to her and tried to always add “If it’s God’s will,” or “if you have the vocation.” “One day she came home very solemn and quiet. With out being prompted she informed me that Sister Mary Julian, R.S.M., of St. Joseph’s Schpol here in Macon had asked her what she was going to be when she grew up. “The answer? ‘Mother, I was not quite sure when Sister asked me but I have it all figured out now. During week days I’m going to be a Nun like Sister Mary Julian and on week ends I’ll be like Dale Evans’.”
