A MESSAGE FROM
MOST REV. RICHARD J. CUSHING, D. D,
In this Marian Year it is ap
propriate to note that when the
Apostles gathered in the Cenacle
to plan the fulfillment of Christ’s
mandate to His Church there was
present in their midst a woman,
indeed a lay woman, who is the
patroness of Catholic Action as of
all things else pertaining to her
Son’s kingdom on earth.
If we are to understand by
Catholic Action the service of
Christ in whatever way He seeks
our ministrations at any given
moment, then surely the holy
women who consoled Him on the
way to Calvary or went forth to
pay Him affectionate tribute on
the first Easter were pioneers in
Catholic Action.
So, too, if we mean by Cath
olic Action Cooperation with
Christ’s representatives in what
ever works'depend on them, then
we must hail as leaders of Cath
olic Action in the Infant Church
those women whom St. Paul sa
lutes in his epistles as having sec
onded his efforts so loyally and in
so many different ways.
Who does not see in the scho
larly women who studied the
ology under St. Jerome’s direc
tion typical participants in the
Catholic Action of their day? Is
not St. Monica an exemplar of
many-sided Catholic Action not
only as a devout mother but also
as a co-worker with Ambrose,
her bishop? Fabiola in her work
for the sick is another typical
Catholic woman engaged in the
lay action appropriate to her
place and period.
So the list might be expanded,
indefinitely. The litany of wo
men in Catholic Action would
bring together names from every
language, tribe, nation, class and
vocation. It would have for its
first name Mary, the Mother oJ!
Christ; its latest names would
include the readers of this bul
letin—daughters in one sense,
sisters in another of the Lily of
Israel who became the First,
Catholic Woman and the leader
forever of feminine lay action in
the life of the Church.
Our own age has not. turned up
any new idea in its recognition of
the need and the nature of Cath
olic Action. As the Holy Father
reminds us, it has simply given
neWemphasis to an idea as old as:
the Church itself. It has offered,
new channels for' the release of
old apostolic energies. It has at
tracted into new fields of dedi
cated effort the old desires of,
Catholic women to be identified
with the infinitely varied work
of Christ in His Church.
