No one can
fall in love
with a theorem
of geometry or
a code or commandment. It is
even bard to love God as a Su
preme Being. It was no wonder
then that for centuries people
made God into images of stone.

God Love You---------------
In Christ Child, There Is
Perfect Vnion Of God, Man
—by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen----------------
No person can love anything
be cannot get his arms around.
That is why God. if He was to
be loved, had to make Himself as
small as a Babe
that we might
put our arms
around Him in
the Crib and
our heart
around Him in
Holy Commun
ion.

and silver, gold and brass. They
were almost saying: “The great
gods on the Olympian heights
are too far removed from the
dust of human lives: If He will
not come down, then we will
make Him come down in our
homes as metal and brass and
wood. All this was wrong, but
the subjective state that prompt
ed it was right, namely the de
sire for a love that takes on hu
man flesh.”
That is the meaning of Beth
lehem: God taking unto Him
self a human nature like ours
from His Mother Mary. As there
is in us a union of two natures,
our body and our soul, and yet
we are only one person, so in
this Babe, there is a perfect un
ion of the nature of man and
the nature of God, but only one
person, the Person of the Son of
God who became Man that we
might become the sons of God.
GOD LOVE YOU to the 18
members of the Sherman Fam
ily. “This year it was decided
that instead of every member
buying fifteen presents, we
would place‘the names in a hat,
and each member would draw
one name. All agreed they would
like to help in really carrying
out the Christmas theme by
matching the amount of this one
gift by an identical sum and
sending this collective amount to
the most worthy charities.” The

Rome Ordination Sees Bovhood
By Father Joseph J. Sullivan
ROME—(NC)—A boyhood dream, unspoken for nearly 60
years, became a reality here when the father of 14 and the
grandfather of 16 children was ordained a priest.
The boy who cherished the dream is now Father Patrick
J. Norton, of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa, who had been
studying for the priesthood or the
past two and a half years at Bcda
College here. He will be 70 years
old on May 23, 1953—a month be-
Priests, Nuns
Keep V igil To
Aid Survivors
BEIRUT, Lebanon (Radio,
NC) Catholic priests and nuns
kept vigil on the beach near here
to aid as survivors of the wrecked
French liner Champoilion reached
safety.
The liner, carrying 66 pilgrims
for the Holy Land, ran aground
four miles below this city. A rocky
reef, whipping winds and a swirl
ing sea prevented immediate res
cue operations.
In addition to the Holy I^ind
pilgrims who had hoped to be in
Bethlehem at Christmas, the ship
carried 42 other passengers and a
crew of 220.
Priests and nuns on the beach
gave immediate spiritual and phy
sical assistance to those who jump
ed into the raging waters and were
successful in their frantic attempt
to swim the several hundred yards
to shore. Those reaching the beach
were exhausted, ragged and oil
smeared. Some were in critical con
dition. Among those reaching shore
was understood to be a Catholic
nun.
More than a score of persons
were believed to have lost their
lives in their bid to swim to shore
A number of others died when a
lifeboat capsized in the treacher
ous waters.
No passenger list was immediate
ly available at the liner’s agency
here. But it was understood that
most of the Holy Land pilgrims
were from France and Egypt. The
group was said to include some Re
ligious.
President Camille Chamoun of
Lebanon twice visited the scene of
the disaster to see what rescue op
erations could he undertaken. He
called on authorities to mobilize
every means to aid the stricken
ship. No official explanation was
immediately available for the lin
er’s stranding. However, it was re
ported that the disaster resulted
from a misinterpretation of shore
beacons.

Race Harmons
Is Urged At
Catholic Meet
NEW YORK (NC) Civil
rights are making increasing gains
in the courts, but education and
mutual cooperation by whites and
Negroes in the community are
needed for the successful imple

cisions.
This statement was made here
by Thurgood Marshall, general
counsel of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Color
ed People, at a forum sponsored by
the Catholic Interracial Council of
New York.
The noted Negro attorney, who
recently argued the school segre
gallon cases before the United
States Supreme Court, said that re
gardless of the outcome of the cas
es, “segregation is on the way out
and meanwhile individuals must be
thinking about it and getting ready
for it.”
Mr Marshall said that “the im

fight against racial discrimination
is going to be on the level of the
individual and the community He
advised particularly the piepara

Iowa Trappists End 100-Year
Practice Of Serving Parishes
DUBUQUE INC) With the blessing this week of the
Rt. Rev. Vincent Daly, O.C.S.O., as the new Abbot of the Ab
bey of Our Lady of New Melleray, there will be put into force
a decision arrived at in the General Chapter of the Order of
Cistercians held at the Abbey of Citeaux in France, last Sep
tember.
The change will bring to an end a practice that extends
back into the pioneer days in
Iowa.
For more than 100 years, the
Trappist Fathers have had the
care oi souls in the immediate
neighborhood of their monastery.
Now they have been recalled from
all parochial responsibilities by the
highest governing body of their
Order.
The Witness, newspaper of the
Archdiocese of Dubuque, announc
ed that Father Richard R. Krapfl, a
priest of the archdiocese, has been
appointed resident administrator of
St. Catherine’s parish near Dubu
que and u ill serve also as tempor
arv administrator of the Holy Fam
ily parish near the Trappist mon
astery.
Though priests from the Mon
astery have had charge of the New
Melleray parish since pioneer days,
it was only by reason of pioneer
conditions that they were permit
ted by their community to accept
parochial responsibilities. They
have provided for the spiritual
needs of the neighbors of the Mon
astery since the arrival of the earl
iest immigrants in 1849 and in
three successive church buildings.
Trappist provision for Holy Family
Parish will likewise be terminated
in conformity with the decree of
the General Chapter.
In giving up the pastorate of
Holy Family Parish, and in separ
ating themselves the more com
pletely from the active ministry,
the Trappist Fathers have likewise
adopted a new policy regarding the
use of their Abbey church by the
general public.
The Abbey church will no long
er be open to visitors for Mass on
Sundays or Holy Days of Obliga
tion. Only members of the Com
munity, resident employees and
persons living in the Guest House
will be permitted to fulfill the ob
ligation of attendance at Mass with
the Abbey.
Visitors will still be welcome at
the Abbey Church for Vespers, for
Benediction of the Blessed Sacra
ment and even for other ecclesias
tical functions. Likewise, there
will be no change of program re
garding the retreats conducted
within the Abbey.

We were wondering how our old friend. Arch
bishop Djibri, veteran missionary of Kerkuk in
Iraq, was doing. In fact, we had not heard from
him in a long time. Perhaps no news is good news,
but now he does send us a plaintive plea for $1,600
in order to finish a little chapel-school at a place
called Suleimanieh. Can you help this worthy man?
PAUL has just begun his six years’ course for the priesthood in our
Seminary at Cbarfe, Lebanon. Can you make him your adopted son
in Christ, giving the $600 in any installment* over six yean?
GLORIOUS BOOK
Twenty-five dollars will provide a beautiful Mass
Book for a poor Near East chapel. Then there ar*
those "Mystic Seven”—the dollar-a-month clubs.
MARY’S BANK goes to the Sisters of the Sacred
Heart in Changanacherry, India. ORPHAN S BREAD
goes to the Good Shepherd Sisters at Dekouane,
Lebanon. MONICA GUILD will be used for poor
Archbishop Djibri’s chapel. BASILIANS will be
for our Palestinian refugee schools. Please be a
joiner.
A* you know, the dollar a month for the Chrysostoms is for our
seminarie*. The Aasisian Sisters of the Mary Immaculate keep her
ring us for more mites in the Damien Leper Fund so as to expand their
home for these outcast*.
“SONG OF BERNADETTE”
Sister Bernadette is a novice with the Armenian
Sister* of the Immaculate Conception in Rome, In
July, 1954. she hopes to go out on their numerous
missions in the Near East. Poor but all so worthy
to be another Madonna, she asks someone to make
her their adopted daughter. Her two years’ train
ing will cost $300. Our Sisters work miracles on
our missions. Won’t you help them to perform
them? God bless you.
We are a long way from the funds we need to huild the Shrine Chapel
of Our Lady of Fatima in far off Ethiopia, but every $10 gift will add
a precious stone tn it When you write, ask for the pamphlet “OUR
LADY’S KREMLIN”.
YOUR HOME. THEIRS?
We know that you would gladly take into your
own homes our homeless waif*, but you do help
Mother Church to give them a home by your gifts.
There is Father George of St. Mary’s Home in
Tnchur, India. He asks for $10 to support one of
his 50 orphan* for a whole month. And Father
Henry Ayrott, S.J., begs for $3 to clothe one of hi*
orphans in Egypt Won’t you help?
The only baggage we can take before the Throne of God is in the
form of kindnesses done to the poor. It is the last baggage you will
ever lift. Please remember our poor in your Will and by stringless
gift*.
YOUR MEMORIAL?
Here i* an opportunity to make a tabernacle on
the altar of an humble Near East chapel a memorial
to your dear ones. It costs $25. but it will be price
less because It will always be the living tabernacle
of the Most High, before whom grateful poor will
bow down. Then there is that dollar monthly to the
Chapel-of-the-Month Club. We do wonder* with it
Have you thought of enrolling a soldier boy beloved in Korea in the
Association, so that he may share In the prayer* and masses of our
missionaries? We shall send him a gift card, saying you have done so.
Annual membership is $1. perpetual $40.
Write for "HOW CAN 1 HELP?” It tells of the many things you can
do for our missions in twelve countries. It would take us three years
to publish all the appeals we have. The fields are white for the harvest
and the Lord would hava us make haste. Thank you for all you do.
