Darkness Over The Land
(Scene from St. Joeeph’e Cemetery, Lockbourne, O.)
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour. But about the ninth hour
Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sab
acthani," that is, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" And some of the bystanders on hearing this said,
"This man is calling Elias." And immediately one of them
ran and, taking a sponge, soaked it in common wine, put it
on a reed and offered it to him to drink. But the rest said,
"Wait, let us see whether Elias is coming to save him." But
Jesus again cried out with a loud voice, and gave up his
spirit. Matt. 27, 45-50.
World Churches Mirror
Pageantry Of Jerusalem
JERUSALEM There is only one Holy City and ancient
Jerusalem, though oft besieged in its 3,000 years of history,
and today the divided victim of politics, has the unique dis
tinction of all the places in the world of being the august scene
of the Atonihg Death and the Resurrection of the Saviour of
the world.
Here in this Holy City takes
place the reenactment of the mov
ing drama of Christ’s last days on
earth—of which the liturgical ob
servance in all chapels and church
es and
can be

but a dim reflection.
The Great Week
Palm Sunday Patriarchal
The
Mass, with its Procession of the
Blessed Palms thrice circling the
Sacred Tomb of Our Lord, marked
the opening of what the Church
terms “the Great Week.” In the
afternoon of that day, the Latin
Patriarch, accompanied by Prelates
of the Various Catholic Rites, re
traced the Saviour’s way into the
Holy City from the village of
Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,
down and across the Cedron Val
ley, and up the slope that once
rang out with the throng’s Hosan
mas as the Son of David entered
through the now-sealed Golden
Gate into the temple.

Dr. Poling asserted that “there

At the same time, in Cambridge,

that Congress has the “right and

Bishop Oxnam said as part of a

The Methodist bishop said his
church “has never been infiltrated
by people using it for revolutionary

I these joyful observances come as

a climax to the significant peni
tential season of Lent. In them is
reflected the joy of the Church at
the triumph of Christ over death.
The beginning of the reign of the
Conquering Christ is recalled by

New Fire, the blessing of the Pas
chal Candle, the Blessing of the

by Pope Leo XIII in his “Christian

“This is no easy task but its re

Rerum Novarum sets before man

way leads unavoidably to social

leads inevitably to the very chaos

Columbus Diocesan Council of
Catholic Women, April 26, in
Circleville, 0., it was announc
ed today by Mrs. Alexander J.
Glockner, DCCW president.
The spring meeting is one of
two major conferences sponsored
by the Council each year for all
Catholic women of the diocese. An
annual fall convention, held regu
larly in Columbus is designed to
cover all major areas of interest to
Catholic women’s organizations.

the activities covered by a single
Council committee.
Thi* year, in response to the
plea of Bishop Ready to pray for

subject of vocations. The theme
for the meeting is taken from the
Collect of the Mass on the feast
day of Our Lady of Good Counsel,
patroness of the DCCW, which
falls on April 26: "Grant that we
may never depart from Our Lady's
counsels/'
