GRATITUDE

John

(Rt.Rev.Msgr.

Thanksisasmallword.Anyone cansayit.Theutterancedoesnotrequiremucheffort,butitdoesrequire someappreciation.Itcomesfrom thelips,butitrisesintheheart.It containsmorethananywordorcollectionofwordscanexpress.Nolaw bindsustobegratefulorexpressour thanks.IButsomethinghigherthan lawbindsus.Itisinstinct.There aremanyinstinctsinthehumansoul.

Oneofthebestandstrongestisgratitude.AnoldGreekKingchoseXenophontotutorhissonandheir.He chosehimbecauseheconsideredhim thewisestmaninthekingdom.One ofthefirstlessonsofXenophonwas thedutyofgratitude.Hetoldhis pupilthatthegodsloathetheungratenmanandchastisehimforhiswickedness.

AmongthepeopleofIsraeltheduty ofgratitudewasfundamental.Evidenceofthetraditionisapparentinthe reverenceinwhichtheJewcontinues toholdhisparents.

Nopeopleissosavagethatthereis notsomeevidenceofappreciationin theirlawsorcustoms-andespeciallyin theirreligiousrites. Evenanimalsarenotdestituteofappreciation.Theyaregratefulforthe foodandattentiontheyreceive.Ina thousandwaystheyshowtheirloyalty andaffection.

Apartfromtheinstinct,.GodHimselfinsistsonthedutyofgratefulness. Heinspiredourfirstparentstooffer sacrificesofadorationandthanksgiving.InthefirstbookoftheBiblewe readofthesacrificesofCainandAbel; ofNoeofferingsacrificetothankGod forpreservinghimandhisfamilyfrom thewatersofthedeluge.

WhentheLordprescribedthesacrificesoftheOldDispensation,Heparticularlyorderedthesacrificeofthanks giving.Heprescribedallthecircumstancesanddetailsofthisaugustrite. Foragesthesmokeofsacrificearose fromthetabernacleandthe.temple. Itwasavisibleexpressionoftheconvictionofthepeoplethattheyowed alltheywere,alltheypossessed,and alltheyhopedfortoGod,theirCreator,theirPreserver,andBestFriend.

ChristTaughtGratitude.

WhenChristcameintotheworldHe camenotmerelytoteachtruth.He cametoteachdqty.Inwordandact Hetaughtusthankfulness.WhenHe wasonlyaninfantHismotherobeyed thelawbycarryingHimtothetempleandgivingthankstoGodforsendingHimintotheworldandtoher.At statedtimesHewentuptoJerusalem toofferthegiftsprescribed.Wemay imaginethejoyHefoundinoffering thankstoHisFatherandthevalueof Hisactofthanksgiving.Itcamefrom thelipsandtheheartofaDivinePerson. Oneofthemoststrikingmiraclesin thelifeofChristbecametheoccasion foranemphaticlessononthedutyof gratitude.OurLordhadhealedten lepers.Thecurecamewhilethey wereontheywaytoshowthemselves tothepriests,whitherChristhadsent them.Sooverjoyedweretheythat ninehurriedhome.Onlyonecame backtothankhisbenefactor.There isaworldofmeaningintheremark ofChrist,"Werenottenmadeclean? Wherearethenine?Thereisnoone foundtoreturnandgiveglorytoGod butthisstranger."

TothereaderofSt.Paulitisevidentthathewasgrateful,especially forthegraceoffaith,whichhereceivedontheroadtoDamascus.Not onlydidheurgehisdisciplestothank GodforallHisblessings,hetellsthem, "WealsogivethankstoGodwithout ceasing."

Astudyofsacrificerevealsclearly theinstinctwhichimpelsmantooffer toGodgiftsandtoimmolatevictims toexpresshisjoyovervictoryorhis gratitudeforfavoursreceived.There arefourgreatendsineverysacrifice: adoration,thanksgiving,atonement, andpetition.TheyaresolemnexpressionsoftheconvictionthatGodisthe life-giver.ItisHewhocausesthe graintogrowandtheflocktomultiply. Manisonlyatenant.Nomatterhow carefullyhemaytillthesoil,itwillremainunproductiveunlesstheLord blessesitwithsunshineandmoisture. So,too,humanlifecomesfromGod. InHimweliveandmoveandhave ourbeing.Weareresponsibleto GodforthewayweuseallHisgifts. Thefarmer,therefore,broughttothe templeandofferedtotheLordthe firstfruitsofhisfieldandthefiirstlings ofhisflock,asatenantmightshare withtheownerhiscropsandhisproduce.Theownerfurnishesthesoil, thetenantfurnishesthelabour. APartofHumanWorship. Now,sacrificeshavealwaysbeena partofhumanworship.Instinctde-

L.Belford,D.D.) mandsthemandtheLordprescribes them.Whiletherehasalwaysbeen theinteriorandspiritualsacrificesof obedience,resignation,andsubmission, therehasneverbeenatimewhenthere waspotanexteriorsacrifice,withan externalriteinwhichtherewasa visiblepriestandatangiblevictim.

WhilethewholelifeofChristwasa sacrificeinwhichHeofferedHimself asavictim,theconsummationofthe sacrificedidnotcomeuntiltieendof Hislife.Onthecross,HeofferedHimselfnotmerelytoatoneforsin,butto returnadequatethankstotheFather.

Now,Christcameintotheworldnot merelytovisitit;Hecametoreign overitforever.OfHiskingdomthere isnoend.Hewasnotonlyaking;He wasandisaPriest."Thouartapriest forever,"saidtheEternalFather, speakingtoHisSonintheFirst Psalm.TheeternalPriestmustoffer aneternalsacrifice."Ineveryplace thereissacrificeandthereisofferedto mynameacleanoblation."TheprophecyofMalachyisfulfilledinthenew riteofpraiseandthanksgivingwhich ChristinstitutedonHolyThursday.

SometimeswewonderwhyGodspares thecitiesinwhichthereissomuch viceandsolittlevirtue;whyitisthat Divinewrathdoesnotdescendupon thethanklessmillionswhoneverthink ofthankingGodforalltheblessings Hepoursoutuponthem.Perhapsthe explanationliesinthepresenceofthe DivineVictimwhoneverceasesto offerthanksandwhoforevercallson ustothankGodwithHim."Letus givethankstotheLord,ourGod!"

Readthehymnoftheangels:"We praiseThee,weblessThee,weadore Thee,weglorifyThee!WegiveThee thanksforThygreatglory."Butthe dutyofgivingthanksisnotconfinedto theChurchortopublicworship.It concernstheindividual.Anditis adutywhichheowesnotonlytoGod, buttohisgovernment,hisparents,and histeachersandotherbenefactors.

WhenManisanIngrate.

Themanwhoallowsadaytopass withoutthankingGodforlife,health, peace,prosperity,isaningrate.Yet, whatismorecommonthanthis neglect?Itcomesfromtheabandonmentofmorningandnightprayer. Therewasatime,andthatnotvery remote,whenfamilyprayerwastherule ineverydecentfamily.Beforeweacquiredthehabitofrushing_through life,orhavingourmealsatallhours andleadingtheindividualisticexistence,.weusedtokneelorbowdown inprayeratthebeginningandendof everyday.Inmanyfamiliesthere wasreverentreadingofaportionof theBibleanddevoutactsofthanksgiving,humblepetitionsforguidance andassistance.Thedutyofpublic worshipincludesthanksgiving.But thatdutyismorehonouredinthe breachthantheobservance.Every yearseesfewerpeoplegoingtochurch, lessreverenceforGodandholythings, and,therefore,lesscompunctionabout thanksgiving.

Inourcountry,theStateandthe citydosomuchthatthepeoplehave cometothinkthattheyhavearight totheconveniencesandopportunities theyenjoy.Theyarenotgratefulfor theschoolsinwhichhighlytrained teahcerstrytoimpartknowledgeand devlopcharacter.Theyhavenoregardfortheexpensiveequipment,the costlybooks,thecomfortstheyenjoy.

"STUNTEDANDDWARFED"

Mr.T.J.Campbell,K.C.,madea strongpleaforjusticeforCatholic schoolsin,puttingforwardamotionin theSenateofNorthernIreland.SenatorCampbell'smotion,whichwasdefeatedbysixteenvotestothree,was asfollows:

"That,intheopinionofthisHouse, theeducationpolicyoftheGovernment differentiatesunfairlyagainstsome 1,500elementaryschoolsnotunderfour andtwoschoolcommittees,andthat, bysanctioningwhatistermed'simple Bibleteaching'inthecurriculumof providedandtransferredschools,itestablishesdenominationaleducationof atypeacceptabletocertainsections onlyofthepopulation."
