Bishop Ready also lamented the
closing of St. Francis Hospital, and
expressed alarm over the lack of
hospital space in the city.
For St. Francis Hospital, operat
ed by the same religious commun
ity which operates St. Anthony’s.
Bishop Ready also had words* of
commendation. He asserted:
“In the joy of this dedication,
there is a sombre note, as we
think, not without sorrow, of the
passing of the sister institution of
St. Anthony’s, the historic and be
loved St. Francis/HospitaL And yet
the sadness of this thought is fleet
ing. For if one noble institution
brings its service to a close, we
see here another extending its ca
pacities to make up the loss.
"The force of circumstance
which has rounded out the work
of St. Francis Hospital cannot
dim the record of many golden
years nor lessen the value of its
contribution to the service of
God and men in this communi
ty. These facts stand forever,
finished and complete. St. Fran
cis, after decades of distinguish
ed and devoted service to Co
lumbus, has fulfilled its honored
destiny. It has seen its task ac
complished."
In commenting on Columbus hos
pital needs, Bishop Ready observ
ed that in adding the new 120-bed
wing to St. Anthony’s, the Sisters
of the Poor of St. Francis have as
sumed a debt of $700,000, one-third
of which was provided by the Unit
ed Hospital campaign.
He noted that $100,000 of the
$332,000 furnished was used to
ward the general renovation of
the old building.

“The Sisters are not complain
ing about the hardship of financ
ing This project built for the pro
tection and use of the community,
the Bishop said. “But frankly and
quite naturally they are worried
about the burden since it retards
their needs in other important de
velopments.
"The plain, blunt statement of
fact is that Columbus is present
ly mere than 800 beds short of
its minimum needs. The continu
ally rising metropolitan popula
tion makes this situation a c-it
ical community problem. All
present existing hospitals are
filled to their best efficiency and
all have plans for needed ex
pensicn of facilities. All are la
boring under heavy burdens of
debt due to recent building ex
tension and spiralling expenses.
“The hospital problem is a com
munity problem and all commun
ity leaders and citizens generally
should be thinking about it solu
tion.
“None of us can tell when a
medical or surgical emergency will
face us. None of us can foresee the
moment when we shall need the
best in life-saving skills and when
a hospital bed may make the dif
ference between life and death.
“That is why our non profit vol
untary hospitals are so important
to every citizen They are the very
heart of our medical system. Their
ability to serve us in any type of
illness or accident depends entire
ly upon our financial support.
"This is a community responsi
bility which must be recognized
and solved."
Bishop Hettinger also attended
the ceremonies. Short talks were
given by Harrison Sayre, president
of the Columbus Hospital Federa
tion Dr. William G. Meyer, pres
ident of the hospital’s medical
stall, and E. Faber Biggert, chair
man of St. Anthony’s building
committee. Msgr. Patrick J. Kill
gallon, chaplain at the institution,
gave the invocation, and pr. Jo
seph J. Hughes, a member of the
medical staff, was in charge of the
program.

Interpretation Of The Propers
For The Sundays Of Advent
Although a great movement is in force toward greater use of
the missal at Mass, up to now there has been hardly any literature
explaining the vital meaning of the drama of the Mass to the Mass
goers. This series of articles is designed to interpret the propers
of the Mass for the Sundays during Advent. Adapted from COM
PANION TO THE MISSAL by Sister M. Cecilia, O.S.B. (Bruce), they
bring to life the propers of the Masses—the real significance of the
reader’s participation and its dynamic effect upon his life and ac
tions.
Tkird Sunday In Advent
‘The Lord Is Near-
INTROIT As we enter this morning for the Sacrifice,
Mother Church greets us at the threshold with the glad news,
“The Lord is near!” This is why she laid aside her purple
vestments of mourning and decked her altars again with flow
ers. Now she can tell us over and over again, as she does in
both Introit and Epistle, “Joy to you in the Lord: again
I wish you joy.” Then, knowing how slow we are to lay aside
our worldly worries, she enlarges her theme, adding “Noth
ing must make you anxious.”
We really can leave all our troub
les in God’s hands, for He directs
everything to our ultimate good.
Then we remind ourselves, in the
psalm verse, of how much God has
already done for us by the Re
demption and all effects on the
world in which we live today:
“What blessings, Lord, thou has
granted to this land of thine (by
redeeming grace), restoring Israel
from captivity”—that is, we have
been freed from our captivity, re
leased from the bonds of sin.
COLLECT—At this time of year
the world wrapped in wintry gloom
is a fitting symbol of our minds,
darkened as they are by unbelief
and sin, amidst which we are liv
ing. Wherefore we pray: “By the
grace of thy coming, light up (this)
darkness of our minds” now in this
Mass and later at Christmas.
EPISTLE—Rejoice, for “the Lord
is near!” This theme of this Sun
day’s Mass ought to re-echo in our
hearts all through the week. In
early centuries this was how
Christians greeted one another in
stead of with our meaningless
“Hi!” Then the Church continues
her Advent instruction by asking
us “to give proof to all of your
courtesy.” If we do manifest this
Christian courtesy, the “peace of
God, which surpasses all (human)
thinking (will) watch over (our)
hearts and minds (united) in
Christ.”
What a beautiful summary of the
Christian life: union with Christ
and with one another in Him, amid
that deep inward peace that He
alone ca» bestow. Working in this
formula for the next two weeks, we
hall enjoy an event, indeed, when
Christ comes to us on Christmas.
GRADUAL- Another invitation!
This is a further reminder that the
Saviour came only after centuries
of ardent longing for Him. So even
now He can enter souls only when
they have made room for Him by a
great desire. Therefore we implore
the Lord, with Isais* the prophet of
old. “Exert ... thy sovereign
strength and come
GOSPEL—Now we stand on the
Jordan's bank receiving the testi
mony of the King’s last herald, the
Baptist, who comes with a twofold
message: 1) He is even now “in
the midst” and 2) “Saraighten out
tha way of the Lord.” Of course,
we know He is here now in each
member of His Mystical Body. But
is He not almost as unknown in our
busy, industrialized world as when
the Baptist pointed Him out to the
crowds with which he mingled so
inconspicuously beside the river?
Then I also have something to do
about His coming I must straighten
all the devious ways of little insin
cerities, fill up the ruts of my
many omissions of duty, and smooth
out the surface of the road by a
solid and universal charity.
All this we do in the Canon of
the Mass, where our Sacrifice,
"carried by the hands of an angel
to the altar on high,” opens up the
Wte S
w. .1
I
1
way for God’s return Gift, the Sav
iour to enter the Bethlehem of
souls. For the very Act of Sacrifice
is our best preparation in straight
ening out the way for the sacrific
ial Guest to dwell permanently in
our midst.
OFFERTORY—As we lay our
gift of self upon the altar we thank
the Lord for the Redemption this
Sacrifice will bring to all off us to
day: “Restoring (us) from captiv
ity, pardoning (our) guilt.” But the
Church shows us how often we
need to be reminded of all this by
repeating over and over again the
truths we believe in but little re
alize.
SECRET—“May our dedicated of
fering, Lord, be sacrificed unceas
ingly to thee” by a life conform
able to our role as co-victim with
Christ in the Sacrifice.
COMMUNION—If we were ever
inclined to think that it is too hard,
this living as a Christian in a pag
an world, abstaining from count
less forbidden pleasures, and fet
tered by the law of “thou shalt
not”—if we are the “fainthearted,”
Mother Church tells us to “take
courage and have no fear. (For the
Lord) will come (into the midst of
our very soul) and will save us”
from the overwhelming odds of
temptation. We alone are already
beaten but we and God are unde
featable.
POSTCOMMUNION—Here is real
Advent prayer, summing up the
effects of our Sacrifice just of
fered. “We beg that these di
vine aids (may) prepare us for the
coming festival.” Then, when the
Bridegroom arrives, whether it be
on this Christmas, or on the Day
of Judgment, we may, like those
wise virgins, have the lamps of our
preparedness burning brightly for
Him. —(Copyright, 1954, Bruce
Publishing Co.)
