TheHolySacrificeoftheMass

(Writtenfor"TheRecord," byRev.HughO'Laverty.)

ThedeathofOurDivineLordleft theChurchfilledwithsupernatural treasures.Theseareconveyedtosouls chieflybytheSacraments.TheSacramentsnotonlygivesupernaturallifd tothesoulbutkeepthislifeinhealth andstrength,andenableustodevelop andcultivateitfortheeverlasting yearsofglory.TheSacramentsobtaintheirpowerfromthePrecious BloodofJesus,offeredonMountCalvary.

ButtheHolySacrificeoftheMassis thcseremewalofMountCalvary.The isofthesamevalueastheSaceoftheCross.AttheLast'Supper.OurLordchangedbreadandwine intoHisOwnBodyandBlood.He thensaidtotheApostles:"Dothisin commemorationofMe." these words,JesuscommandedtheApostles tooffertheSacrificeoftheMass.At Mass,thepriestchangesbreadand wineintotheBodyandMoodof Jesus,andgivesthissameJesustothe faithfulinHolyCommunionfortheir supernaturalnourishment.

Wemayseefromthevalueofthe Massthecauseofthepersecutionof theCatholicpriesthood.Wewill noticethatwhenanypersecutionarises againsttheChurch,thepriesthoodis thefirsttosuffer.Andwewillalso noticethattheMassisthechiefobject ofattack.AttheReformationin EnglanditwastheofferingofMass thatwastreasonable.Weseefrom thisthatthedevilmusthavebeen theauthorofthesepersecutions.'BecausetheofferingofMasscannotin anywayinjuretheGovernment.It isasupernaturalact,andhasnobearingonpoliticsoreconomics.

Butwemaywellunderstandthe reasonforthepersecutionofthepriesthoodandtheoppositiontotheMass fromthelegionsofhell,ifwewill' onlyreflectonthevalueoftheMass inthesalvationofsouls.WhileOur LordwasdyingontheCross,thegood thiefaskedIIimforaremembrance. Itwasasimplerequest.ButOur Lordgrantedittothefull.He grantedhimIleavenonthedayofhis death.afteralifeofcrime.Our prayersatMassareasefficaciousas thoseofthegoodthief.

AStrangeSymptom

FatherWoodlock,32,repliesto Modernists.

FatherWoodlock,S.J.,London,formerlyoftheLeedsCatholicCollege,was thepreacherattheopeningofanew churchatLeedsrecently.Nowadays, hesaid,fewpeoplewereignorantof whatwemeanbyTheRealPresence. ThecontroversiesintheEstablished ChurchandParliamenthadfilledthe newspaperswithdiscussionsonthe ReservationoftheSacramentandthe SacrificeoftheMass.

Eventheordinarymanhadit broughttohismindthatChristisstill onearth.Non-Catholicsareawareof ourbelief,andareattackingitmore vigorouslythaninthepast.Thereis astrangesymptom,asignificantcombineamongstProtestantsagainstthis particulardoctrineoftheEucharistic Presence.

"EducateAfricaninHisOwn Language"

"One'sownnativelanguageisthe mostnatural,intimateandfar-reaching instrumentforacquiringknowledge,for comprehendingconsciouslyone'sown culture,andforlearningthoroughlyan extraneousculture,"declaresFather WilliamSchmidt,S.V.D.notedCatholicscholarandscientist,inanimportantstudyontheuseofthevernacular inAfricaneducation.FatherSchmidt's expositionappearsintheApril"Africa,"officialorganoftheInternational InstituteofAfricanLanguagesand Cultures.TheInstituteisthelargest existingfederationofreligiousandlay interestsdedicatedtotheassistanceof thepeoplesofAfrica.

AfundamentalquestionintheadvanceofAfricanowoccupyinggovern. ments,religiousleaders,andeducators, istheproblemoflanguage.SomeadvocatetherapidintroductionofEuro. peantonguesintoAfricanlifeasthe shortestpathfortheAfricantoEuropeanculture.Othersstronglyplead forthemaintenancebytheAfricanof asmuchaspossibleofwhatisgoodin hisinheritanceoflanguageandcustoms,andthenthecarefulintroductionintothismilieuofthehighestand bestinChristianityandgeneralWesternculture.Inviewofthisgreat controversy,FatherSchmidt'sconferenceisextremelyinteresting.

"ThereareenoughAfricantribes numericallysostrongandwhosemembershavesuchfundamentalvitality," beginsFatherSchmidt,"thatthesuppressionofor'substitutionofthevernacularbyaEuropeanlanguageisnot thinkable,andeveryattempttothat endwouldmerelybeawasteoftime andeffort,andmightevenleadtoclan gerouscrises."FatherSchmidtgives firstplacetothenativetongueinprimary,secondary,anduniversityeducation.

Inreferencetoprimaryschools, FatherSchmidtrecommendstheexclusionofaforeignlanguageforthe firstthreeyearsatleast."Toexpect achildtocarryoutthesetasks(acquiringknowledgeandculture)withan instrumentwhichisforeigntohim,and withwhichheisnotconversant,as,kir instance,aEuropeanlanguagewould inevitablycrampthechild'sspiritual development."

Speakingofsecondaryschools,he continues:"Itisobviousthatsecondaryschoolteachingmustincludethe useofEuropeanlanguage."But,he pointsout,theuseofthevernacular "shouldbecontinuedandcertainsub jects,atanyrate,shouldbetaughtin it."Heplacesasreasonsforthis thedangersconsequentuponalienationfromhisownpeopleoftheeducatedAfrican,whoshouldplaythe partofintermediarybetweenEuropean andnativecultures.

Passingtouniversitytraining,Father Schmidtwarnsthat"thereisnojustificationforassumingthatAfricanraces arenotinapositiontoattainincourse oftimesuchadegreeofcultureifthey obtainjudicioushelpfromEurope." Thenfollowsfromthepenofthelearnedpriestanexpositionofsevenpoints whichsumuptellinglythearguments forhighereducationofapeopleinits ownlanguage.
