Itwillperhapsoccurto somethatasolemndedicationofAustraliatotheDivineParacletesupposesthat thiscontinentwasreally discoveredbytheSpanish navigatordeQuiros,who wishedtocalltheSouthern Continentwhichhewas seeking:"AustraliadelEspirituSanto."

Itiswellknownthat CardinalMoranstoutlyadvocatedtheclaimofde Quiros.Therearestill,it seems,someverycompetent studentsofAustralianhistorywhothinktheCardinal wasright;butitmustbe admittedthattheweightof opinionhasturnedagainst deQuiros'titletobethe discovererofthisSouth.ernLand.

CherishedTitle

Letitbegrantedthathe wasnot;thefactremains that,thegloriousname "AustraliadelEspiritu Santo"wasofferedtothe peopleofthiscountry,and Catholicshavebeengladto acceptitasatitleofreligiousdistinction."Southern LandoftheHolySpirit"is anamewhichappealstous, "'andhasbeenusedagain andagainbygenerationsof AustralianCatholics.Surely itisalaudableambitionto strivetomakethisvastcontinentnotonlyinnamebut inrealitytheSouthernLand oftheHolySpirit.

TheideaoftheconsecrationofAustraliatotheHoly Ghostdidnotoriginatein thebrainofsomelearned AustraliantheologianduringthemonthsofpreparationfortheEucharistic Congress.Projectsofthis kindgenerallycomefrom theHolySpiritHimself throughlowlyinstruments likeMlle.Tamisier.

Letusrememberthatthe resolutionofPopeLeoXIII. toconsecratetheworldto theSacredHeartofJesus originatedinaGoodShepherdConventinLisbon.The consecrationoftheworld, ^andofRussiainparticular, totheImmaculateHeartof MarycamefromFatima andfromthefaithfulinsistenceofLuciadosSantosin urgingthedesireofOur Ladyfirstrevealedat Fatima.

Yearswentby,andatcation.Consecrationofthe theEucharisticCongressofcountrytotheSpiritofall apostolatewillhelptowards thatend.

1928,severalecclesiastics, includingArchbishopCattaneoandArchbishopSheehan,becameinterestedin thematter.Apetitionwas drawnupforpresentation toPopePiusXI.,which CardinalCerretti,PapalLegateattheCongress,grac- iouslyconsentedtoputbeforetheHolyFather.The receptionwasencouraging. PiusXI.wasverypleased withtheidea,andremarked thattheinitiativeregarding theconsecrationofthis countrybelongedtothe AustralianBishops.

OpportunityAwaited

Since1928asuitableoccasionhasnotofferedfor publicconsecrationofAustraliatotheThirdPersonof theBlessedTrinity.Aconsecrationsynchronisingwith thefifteenthcentenaryof St.Patrick'smissiontoIreland(432-1932)didnot eventuate.Partlyonthe adviceofMonsignorCattaneo,thenlivinginRome, anotherattemptwasmade in1937,theoccasionbeing theFourthPlenaryCouncil. Theopportunemomenthad notyetcome;andanother opportunitydidnotarisetill theNationalEucharistic Congress.CardinalGilroy andtheAustralianBishops acceptedtheproposalat theirgeneralmeetingofthe presentyear.Timedidnot allowpreviouspublicisation,butitseemedsufficientthat theactofconsecration shouldbemadeinthe atmosphereofintensefervourwhichtheEucharistic Congresscreated. Thereasonsforsucha consecrationcouldwellfill asmallvolume.Itmaybe possibletoreducethemto afew.

MissionaryVocation

Firstly,thetitle"SouthernLandoftheHolySpirit" hasprovidentiallyfallento us.Itwasfeltthatwe shouldmakeitourownby asolemnact.

Secondly,itwastheHoly Spiritthatbegantheapos, tolateoftheCatholic Church,somuchsothat thebookoftheActsofthe ApostleshasoftenbeencalledtheGospeloftheHoly Ghost

Thesamesortofremarkableinspirationcannot,perhaps,beclaimedforthe humblesoulwhodesired andprayedandworkedfor theconsecrationofAustraliatotheHolySpiritGodaloneknowsthetruth. Butatleastthefollowing factsmayberecordedwith themeasureofanonymity whichthematterseemsto demand.

RewardforSchools

LinkedWithFatima

Fourthly,ifwemayindulgeourpoorvisionin readingthesignsofthepast century,wemightsaythat devotiontotheHolyGhost shoudbeacompanionto thatoftheImmaculate HeartofMary.Thelatter devotiongoesbacktoSt.

JohnEudes,butitsprogress intheChurchcanbetracedclearlyfromthebeginningofthe19thcentury, andespeciallyfromthe thirtiesofthatcentury. OurLadyofFatimapro- claimedit,andithasbeen signalisedbysuchofficial actsastheconsecrationof theworldtotheImmaculate Heartin1942andthe specialconsecrationofthe Russianpeoplestothesame ImmaculateHeartin1952.

SeeingthatGodprepared aworthydwellingforthe HolySpiritintheHeartof theBlessedVirginMary,it isnotsurprisingthatthe onedevotionprovidentially calledforanincreaseofthe other.Hereareafewrelevantfacts.

Leo'sEncyclical

In1841FrancisMary PaulLibermann,theconvertsonofaJewishRabbi, founded,amidstincredible difficulties,areligious_congregationoftheImmaculateHeart sionstoNegroes.In1848an 18thcenturyCongregation oftheHolyGhosttookunto itselfthenewly-founded CongregationofFatherLibermann,andtheresultof thefusionhasbeenthevigorousCongregationofthe FathersoftheHolyGhost. ArchbishopMcQuaid,whose splendiddiscourserecently givenatSydneyUniversity couldwellbereckonedas anactoftheapostolateof theHolySpiritinthiscountry,ishimselfamemberof

theCongregationoftheHoly Ghost.

Inthelastquarterofthe 19thcenturyCardinalManningwasanapostleofdevotiontotheHolySpiritin England.Histwochief worksonthesubjectare wellknown.

Threeyearsbeforethe endofthecenturyPopeLeo XIII.issuedhismagnificent Encyclical,"Divinumillu1 munus."Itsketchesina masterlywaytheplace whichtheHolyGhostholds andshouldholdinthelife oftheChurchandofthe individualChristian.It particularlyimpressiveto notethatthisfar-seeing PontifflookedtotheHoly SpiritforthenewPentecost whichwillbringthereunion oftheschismaticChurches.

SharingWithBrazil

Fifthly,certaincountries, underGod'sprovidence,becomethespecialhomesof particulardevotions.BelgiumandstillmoreFrench Canadabecamethegreat centresofdevotiontothe HolyFamily.Itissaidthat alandplacedunderthe SouthernCross,butinthe WesternHemisphere,namely,Brazil,standsoutas ahomeofpopulardevotion totheHolySpirit.Perhaps thatgloryshouldbelong alsotoAustraliainvirtue ofthetitlewhichsh!has inherited.

Sixthly,theconsecration shouldbringagreatoutpouringofthegracesand giftsthatthefirstGiftof allbrings.ThatistheHoly SpiritHimself,who,asSt. Thomassays,'proceedsfrom theFatherandtheSon"in rationeprimidoni"-asthe FirstGift.

EucharistandCharity

Seventhly,consecrateddevotiontotheHolySpirit willincreaseandspiritualiseandfructifyourdevotiontotheBlessedSacrament:TheChurchobserves thefeastofCorpusChristi ontheThursdayafterthe octaveofPentecost,because itwasthegraceofPentecost thattaughtthedisciplesto penetratethemysteriesof theHolyEucharist.The frequentationofthisSacramentatJerusalemwasa remarkablefruitoftheParaclete,centring,wemay feelsure,intheveryCe-

naclewhereourLordinstitutedtheHolyEucharist andpromisedHisParaclete. Eighthly,onemayfeel gladthattheconsecration tookplaceataCongressthe mottoofwhichwascharity. Twotextsonthefervent lifeoftheinfantChurchat Jerusalemshouldberecalledinthisconnection.It wasduetotheHolySpiritthat"themultitudeofthe discipleswereoneheart andonesoul;"andwealso readthat"theywereconstantlyattendingtothe teachingoftheApostlesand tofellowshipandtothe breakingofbreadandto prayers."

IntellectualLife

Ninthly,itwouldseem thatonthebasisofanationalconsecrationtothe HolyGhostthatdeepintellectuallife,whichisacharacteristicoflivingCatholicism,shouldgrowand flourishinAustralia.A ferventCatholicpeople shouldbeathinkingpeople, forasSt.Augustinesays: "Weloveourintellectverymuch"-notproudandarid intellectualism,butthe "sapid"knowledgewhich enrichesthemindandmoves thewilltogood.

Inaword,theHolyGhost shouldteachustofollow St.Paul'sgreatcharterof Christianhumanism:"Whatsoeverthingsaretrue, whatsoeverthingsarevenerable,whatsoeverthingsare just,whatsoeverthingsare pure,whatsoeverthingsare lovely,whatsoeverthings areofgoodrepute,ifthere beanythingvirtuous,if therebeanythingpraiseworthy-thinkonthese things."

TheHolyFatheralso madeareferencetosymptomsofreligiousfanaticism (Schwarmgeisterei),like thatatHeroldsbachwhich, "atleastasawhole,has beenovercome."Pointing outthatsuch"disagreeable symptoms"havebeennoted inwidelyseparatedpartsof theChurch,thePopesaid: "Wearepreparedtoattributethemtodisturbances inthementalbalanceof peopleswhichhavebeen causedbytheterribleevents ofourtime."

ThePope'sletter,dated February15,1953,wasin replytoChristmasand NewYeargreetingssent himbytheGermanHierarchy.

Inconclusion,thePope assuredtheGermanBishops andfaithfulthatheisfollowingwithfatherlycore, cerntheimminentdecisions which"couldvitallyaffect notonlyGermany'sposition inthefamilyofnationsbut alsothecountry'seconomic, religiousandmoralwelfare."

"Letthefaithfulalways beawareoftheirresponsibilitybeforeGodandtheir consciencetomakeuseandonlygooduse-oftheir rightsinthepublicdomain, refrainingfromparticular desiresandactionswhich couldonlyharmtheling andgreataimsthatareIt stake,"thePope'sletter concluded.
