or iving Men do not erect buildings without an architect's designg neither do Christian students build their lives upon fantasy. Though the waking hours of all youth are punctuated with daydreams of the perfect life, Catholic youth has a tangible some- one upon whom it models its every moment. That ideal God Himself foresaw, planned, and dreamed as a blueprint for liv- ing. He had her in His heart from all eternity-the Lady whom He calls Mother.

Every person carries within his heart a blueprint of the one he loves. A tiny archi- tect works inside the human heart drawing sketches of the ideal love from the people it sees, from the books it reads, from its hopes and day-dreams in the fond hope that the eye may one day see the ideal and the hand touch it. Life becomes satisfying the moment the dream is seen walking, and the person appears as the incarnation of all that one loved. The liking is instantaneous-because, actually, it was there waiting for a long time. Some go through life without ever meeting what they call their ideal. This could be very disappointing, if the ideal never really existed. But the absolute ideal of every heart does exist, and it is God. All human love is an initiation into the Eternal. -Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
