Prancis de Sales, for his guid ance and protection, to review Briefly our work and to rededi cate ourselves to the service of this strong arm of the Church in her mission to bring the Gospel to every creature. The past year has seen the Catholic Press reach its greatest strength. The total subscriptions to magazines, periodicals and newspapers now number approx imately 113,400,000. This high fig ure could not have been reached without the self-sacrificing and scholarly efforts of the staffs and the loyal support of subscribers. The encouragement given by the American Ifierachy and the response of the faithful to appeals of their Bishops have had a major part in the increase of subscrip tions to Catholic publications. The dedication of editors, journalists and writers to their work and the good results of their labors have been responsible for the excellent products offered to subscribers.

He must be close to the daily life of the Church and aware of what is happening throughout the world, for every worldwide event has some bearing upon the Church. Keeping in mind that the Catholic Church is the divinely instituted society established by Christ to save all men, it is crys tal clear to the editor that much agitation and many movements are directly aimed at the destruc tion of the Church. The fortieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution has been marked by new outbreaks of anti- Catholic hostility and persecution of bishops, clergy and laity. Not only behind the Iron Curtain but where ever the influence of com munism touches, the Church is made to suffer. The Catholic Press, through the services of its N.C.W.C. News Service, has been able to keep American Catholics and Catholics throughout the free world in formed of these conditions. The “trials” and unfair sentences im posed on prelates, clergy and laity in China and Hungary re cently received scant attention from the secular press. In these circumstances the N.C.W.C. News Service has been a powerful cor rective. In a letter to the International Union of the Catholic Press in May, 1954, Archbishop Giovanni Battista Montini of Milan, then Vatican Substitute Secretary of State, made this pertinent state ment of world conditions: “The world is engaged in a spiritual combat about whose stakes no one is ignorant. An im mense wave of atheism has brok en over the world and rarely has action against the Religion of Christ been carried on more shrewdly and more systematical ly “Even in the ranks of the faith ful, one meets Catholics whose confidence in the mission of the Church is shaken. One sometimes even hears bitter criticism from them directed against the Church, which, because of their own fail ings, they willingly hold respon sible for the progress of her ene mies, whereas these latter are held to be worthy of every in dulgence. “In the presence of such a dis- c am ecu* G /A tL >) iV RESTAURANT PHONE US YOUR Take Out Orders Cab Deliveries Arranged TR. 2-5808 1851 Peachtree Rd., N.

Above all, he will be a son of the Church, eager to serve his Mo ther; he will have above all an understanding of and love for the Church.” The Catholic editor must also face the problems of the day that are confronting us in the United States. Many of these problems have a deep moral and religious bearing. These must be explained and discussed in the light of Cath olic faith. Despite our growth, despite our patriotism, despite what we save our fellow Ameri cans annually in school taxes, in some places there is increasing bigotry and hatred of the Church. This bigotry and hatred is inten sified by the publication of un truths and half truths. The Cath olic Press is ever on guard to ex pose these falsehoods and to an swer competently and completely these false statements. We are proud to say that the Catholic Press is alert to the dangers resulting from the god lessness that has become so ram pant today. Perhaps, however, each individual publication could work just a little harder to inter est educated Catholic men and women in their own localities, to develop a greater participation in the Catholic press and work for its expansion and influence. Catholic Press Month also gives occasion for press staffs to make an honest examination of con science and to admit any failings or shortcomings. Catholic Press Month would fail in its purpose if it were used only to recount the growth and accomplishments of the Catholic Press and to glory in its present status. Within the press there is no respite, nor surcease. A deadline met begets a new deadline to meet. A news story recorded, a doctrinal discussion expounded, a dogmatic controversy explained only indicate to the editor that new stories, new discussions, new controversies will arise and he must prepare for the next edition in order to keep everyone inform ed, for today we move at a rapid pace and despite heroic sacrifice, the publication is never all that the publisher and staff would de sire. The dedicated editor is al ways dissatisfied with his pro duct, strives unceasingly to im prove his work, to perfect the medium of the printed word and to extend its influence. While there is a certain sense of satisfaction in what the Cath olic Press has accomplished, the influence and power of the Cath olic Press is not what we would like to see it become. It is still ignored in many circles. It has not as yet reached its fullest po tential and members of the Cath olic Press Association are well aware of this fact. They are de termined to struggle and to work constantly toward that goal. We can improve; we must improve. Unless we keep the goal of steady improvement before us, we are not worthy of the high calling and responsible position we hold in the Church today, for the Catholic Press has an obliga tion not only to its own subscrib ers but also to the Church Uni versal, the Supreme Pontiff and to the heirarchy. In improving its product it will make Catholic people more Catholic, more ap preciative of their Catholic faith. Hence one of the major re- sponsibilties of the Catholic writ er is to counterbalance material istic propaganda and to nurture the spiritual life of Catholics. The Catholic journalist must always strive to save souls. A more intensified effort can be put forth by Catholic journal ists to interest youth in Catholic writings, periodicals, journals, and newspapers. In his address to the Catholic Press convention last May, His Holiness said that “stu dents and graduates of Catholic colleges and universities should be the chief support of the Cath olic Press and literature.” To carry out the wishes of the Holy Father, we appeal to edu cators in Catholic high schools, colleges and universities to en courage support of Catholic lit erature. At the same time, Cath olic writers should expand their efforts to interest youth by pro viding appealing literature based upon Catholic teaching and practice. There is need for more articles and writings that will at tract the attention and interest of high school and university stu dents. It is not enough to teach youth to avoid obscene and immoral literature; we must give them worthwhile, decent literature that will increase their moral and spiritual strength. Modern tend encies in art and literature, de veloping fads in psychology, all tend to attract youth away from spiritual values so necessary for virtuous living. It is our task to present these spiritual values in an appealing style. “Awaken and revive among the faithful, es pecially among the young, that spiritual force that is so necessary today but which too often is lack ing the sense of Catholic honor. This is the praise and admiration of the son for his Mother.” (Pius XII) This year the Catholic Press Association is sponsoring a na tional essay contest for students in Catholic high schools. The theme is “How the Catholic Press Helps Me in My Studies.” Many high schools and colleges will have special Press Month exiiibits and programs and through these it is hoped to win the support of youth so necessary for a strong Catholic Press. The importance of the Catholic writer’s role in the apostolate of the Living Church in our times has grown to great stature. De spite the radio, television and other modern means of commun ication, the power of the written word has not diminished but is constantly increasing. The anti-God press, the anti- Religion press are aware of their power in spreading lies and cal umnies about Christ and His Church. To meet this challenge and to stay the epidemic of dead ly disease germinated by the ath eistic press, Catholic writers must serve with courage and be ever conscious of their great mission and of their “one sublime goal that sets them apart from ordi nary writers -— the spread of Christ’s Kingdom of truth and salvation among men.” (Pius XII) We salute our Catholic journal ists for their dedicated service to the cause of truth. In their name we pledge a renewed loyal ty and devoted love for the cause of Christ and His Church.

It is dishonest for a person to approach the altar rail for ashes if he does not intend to approach the same altar frequently during the year. To presume to wear the insignia of a real Catholic on Ash Wednesday without practic ing one’s faith is nothing but sheer hypocrisy. For those who live their Cath olic faith — for those who al ways assist at Sunday Mass, fre quent the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist, obey all the commandments of God and Church (not just some), observe the rules of fast and abstinence — the sign of ashes is a sincere em blem, and the source of innumer able graces. Q. Where does ihe word "Leni" come from? A. Our English word “Lent” comes from the Anglo-Saxon longien or lencien, meaning “spring.” Lent is now taken to mean that spring period of fasting in prepa ration for the great feast of Easter. Because Lent consistes of forty days, the Latin term for it is quadragesima, meaning “forti eth.” The Italian quaresima and the French careme both came from the Latin root. Q. Why do we usually end our prayers with "Amen"? A. “Amen” comes originally from the the Hebrew and means “certainly” or “so be it.” This ex pression was used frequently by Our Lord in His daily conversa tion. According to the Catechism of Trent, “this word is very approp riate, containing as it does, some confirmation of the petitions which we have already offered up.” In this sense, “Amen” is used as a solemn ratification of the prayers we have sent heaven ward. Too, this expression fixes our attention on things spiritual while we are engaged in prayer, by bringing us often from a world of distractions to the realization that we are addressing God. * * * T he purpose of this column is to assist the laity to a fuller un derstanding of their religion.
