PEOPLE'SDEVOTIONTOTHE MOTHEROFGOD.

ByRev.J.Jettty,O.D.C.

TheSyriansofMalabar,Imaysay, withoutfearofexaggeration,aresecondtononeinthewholeworldin theirtenderandchildlikedevotionto theMotherofGod.Theyaddressher invariablybythesimpleandtouching titleofMother.Thescapularisworn publiclybytheworkingclasses,with acertaindegreeoflegitimatepride; anditisthemarkdistinguishingCatholicsfromtheheterodpxsectarians.To them"amanwithoutascapular"-a verycommonexpression-issynonymouswithahereticorschismatic.

ThechurchesinMalabarareeither dedicated-especiallytheolderonestiOurLadyorareatleastpossessed ofachapeloraltarinherhonour,and oftencanboastofrarepaintingsofher, likethosefoundintheRomanCatacombs.Thoughbynomeansaffluent inmaterialresources,theSyrianshave nothingmoreatheartthanthewelfare 9ftikirchurches.

KingsandPrinces,PopesandCardinalsandSaints,havebeenaffectedbyit. Somewereabletocastitaside,but othershavefallenvi6timstoit.Itis aninsidiousvice.Ifcarefullyconsidered,thepresentstateoftheworldis duetoPride.Themajorityofpeople seemtoliveonlyforthemselvesand havenoconsiderationforothersaround them,becauseofthisdangerousinclinationtogratifyself.Pridebegets pleasure,whichfrombeinginnocent, andthereforecommendable,develops intobeinghurtfultothosearoundus inathousandandoneways.Pridealso begetsavarice,whichleadstodishonestyandcupidity.Pridebegets sensualityinthatitexcitestheperhapsdormantpassionsandhelpsto losesone'sself-control.Prideisoften thecauseofdissensionsinfamilies, communitiesandnationsevenincommunitiesofreligious.Itwillbeseen, therefore,thatthespiritofpridepermeateseveryformofhumanityfrom thehighesttothelowest.

Nowitmustbeborneinmind,hawever,thatself-respectmustnotbemis takenforpride.Self-respectisasafeguardgiventousagainsttemptations ofvariouskinds,andisalaudable spirit,andthestrongeritisthebetter oneisabletowardoffattacksofthe world,especiallyagainstthoseofthe flesh.

AlthoughGodhasallowedthespirit ofpridetobeprevalentamongmankind,HehasgivenusinHisgreat goodnessitsantidote,theoppositevirtueofhumility.

ToshowushowmuchGodprizes thevirtueofhumility,He,inthefirst instance,choseOurLadyforHisHoly Mother.ManyoftheFathersofthe ChurchandtheSaintshavetoldus thatGodwouldnothavechosenher tobeHisMotherifthatvirtuewasnot sopre-eminentinher.Andagain,He givesusanexampleparexcellence inthemannerHecameintothisworld. He,theGodoftheUniversechoseto beborninamangeramonganimals, insteadofbeingborninapalacewith allitsrichandcomfortableappendages. Furthermore,HetookuntoHimself pooruneducatedfishermenandmade themHisApostles,andteachersofthe truthsofourHolyreligion.OurLord's wordsandactionsallindicatethatHe despisestheproudandwillraiseup thehumble.HealsopermitsOurLady toutterthosewordsinthatbeautiful CanticleoftheMagnificatwhichshe didwhenshewenttovisithercousin St.Elizabeth.Allthroughtheages OurLordhasshownHispredelection forthehumbleandobscure.OurLady choseapoorpeasantgirl,St.Bernadette,toestablishhershrineatLourdes, andthelatestSaintisMargaretJohnson,agirlwhowasworkinginafactory,who,inturn,hadagreatdevotiontoSt.TheresaoftheLittleFlower, whosenameandfameisnowknown throughoutthelengthandbreadthof theChristianworld.

Tocureourselvesofthespiritof Pride,oneneedsonlytothinkfora fewmomentswhatweare.Atmost, wearepunypowerlesobjects,and couldnotdoanythingwithoutthehelp ofGod.Noone,howevercleveror brillianthemaybe,canstaythehand ofGodwhenHevisitsthisworld withcalamities,suchastherecentdisastersofItaly,whereawholevillage, withitsinhabitants,disappeared.It behovesusnottobeoverbearingtowardsothers,andthinkourselvesbetterthanthey.Thosewhotrytopracticethevirtueofhumilitywillbekind andgentletowardseveryonearound them:LikeMargaretJohnson,they willalwaysbesmilingandpleasant andeverreadytoconsolethosewho areafflictedandencourageandrejoice withthosewhohavebeenblessedwith naturalgiftsbyAlmightyGod.They shedapleasinglightaroundthemand theywillbewelcomedbyallwith whomtheymayhavedealings.They willmakeothersfeelhappyandtheir presenceeverywherewillbelooked forwardtowithjoy.Thustheywill leadahappylife,pleasingtoGodand man.Letusthereforestrivetoattain thisvirtue.WithGod'shelpweshall notfinditverydifficult.Whata greatconsolationitwillbetofeel thatwearelovedbyeverybody.If welookaroundus,weshallseeinall gatheringsofmenorwomen,orboth, therearecertainpeopleforwhom everyonehasagoodwordtosay,and these,intheirturn,willneverbefound tosayanunkindwordorhaveacross lookormannerforanyone.Letus therefore,begintostudyourlooksand manners,andseeifwecanmakeourselveshumblemoreperhapsthanwe havebeenbefore.Letustakeourdear Lord'swordstoheart,whereHesays "learnofMetobemeekandhumble ofheart."TheFeastofOurLady's Assumptionisathand.Letusask hertohelpus'inourendeavourto profitbyherexample.Weshallthen haveourshareofhappinessinthis world,andcompletejoywithherin Heaven,andevenindeathallthose wehavecomeincontactwillmissus.
