TheHiddenLifeofChrist

(ByRev.HughO'Laverty.)

ThelongestperiodofOurLord'slife waswhatisknownasHishiddenlife. Thesewerethepeacefulandhappy yearsspentintheseclusionofNazareth inthefar-offGalileanHills.These wereyearsoftoil.TheGod-Mancame tothisworldnotonlytoredeemthe world,buttoleaveanexampleforall time.Mostpeopleleadhard-working andhiddenlives,andonlyafeware exemptfrommanuallabour.Our Lordspenttheseyearsinobedienceto Hisparents,andintheperformance ofallkindsofdomesticandlaborious works.

OurLordwishedtosanctifythis stateoflife,andtoteachforalltime thattheexternaloccupationisoflittle consequence,solongaswedoGod's will.ItmatterednottotheGod-Man whetherHemadeaploughshareor workedamiracle,solongasIlewas doingthewillofHisHeavenlyFather.

Butthesryears-werethehappiest yearsoftheHolyFamily.Weneed notsupposethattheSaviourworked over-strenuously.Someerroneously thinkthathardworkwillbringasoul toheaven.Manypeopleworkhard andyetareeternallylost.Itisonly whenourworksaresupernaturalised bygracethattheyareofbenefitfor eternity.OurLord'slifewasalifeof workcombinedwithprayer.HealwaysdidthewillofHisHeavenly Father,andthissanctifiedallHisactions.Infact,toomuchworkofovereagernessforthegoodsofthisworld isreally'ahindrancetosanctification. Wemusthavesufficientleisurefor prayerandfortheperformanceofour religiousduties,aswellasfortheacquisitionofreligiousknowledge. Here,againweseetheerrorofthose whoadvocatelongerhoursofwork. Withoutgoingdeepintopoliticsor economicsitcanbeseenthatlong hoursofworkisthecauseofsomuch hardshipintheworld,andindirectly thecauseofmuchoppositiontothe Church.ItisassumedbysomepeoplethattheChurchshouldsettleall industrialandeconomicproblems,and sheisoftenblamedforthehardships ofthosenotblessedwithworldly goods.Butitshouldbeexplained thatthisisnotthebusinessofthe Church.Hermissionisthesalvation ofsouls.OurLorddidnotdealdirectlyineconomicorpoliticalpro. blems.Hemusthavefeltthegalling yokeofHischosenpeopleunderthe RomanEmpire.ButHeneveronce urgedthepeopletothrowoffthat yoke.ButitmustalsoberememberedthatHeneveradvisedthemtosubmittoinjustice,nordidHecondemn theireffortsforpoliticalandnational liberty.

Inthesameway,theCatholicChurch doesnotdealdirectlyinpoliticsor economics.Ifshedidso,whatwould betheneedofalltheParliamentsand alltheGovernmentsandallthepoliticiansoftheworld.Millionsof poundsarespentannuallyongovernments,andyettheCatholicChurchis supposedtosettlethesedisputeswithoutanyremunerationfromthecountry.

But,althoughtheChurch'sdirect missionisthesalvationofsouls,yetshe hasdonemoreforthe'poorandthe workerthanallthegovernmentsthat haveeverexisted.Itisadmittedby allthinkingmenthatthegreatestachievementforthepoorandthedowntroddenwasthedestructionofslavery. HutitwastheCatholicChurchthat destroyedslavery.Theworld-famous historian,Lecky,says:"Bysoftening slaveryintoserfdom,andbypaving thewayfortheemancipationoflab. our,theCatholicChurchlaidthe foundationsofivilisation."Within recentyears,insomecountries,we noticeatendencytowardsextremeSocialism.Here.again,theChurchis blamedfornotchampioningtherights oftheworkers,andhere,again,there existsignoranceofwhattheChurchhas cloneandwhatsheteachesatthepresenttime.ThesameLeckysays: "TheinstitutionsoftheCatholic Church.whilesohaughtytokingsand rulers,neverfailedtoinstruct,tolisten to,andtoconsole,theslave,thepoor andtheoppressed."

Itmusthestressedagainandagain thatalthoughtheChurchhascondemn. edaformofSocialism,shedoesnot condemneveryformofeconomicorganisationthatgoesunderthenamecf Socialism.TheLabourGovernments ofAustraliaandEnglandarecalledSocialistgovernments,andyettheyare notcondemnedbytheChurch.These
