who inspires us God-Ward DOMINICAN COMMERCIAL HIGH SCHOOL 161-06 Eighty-ninth Avenue Jamaica 32, New York ly dear Graduates, Graduation Day, 1956 The theme of your cherished yearbook, 'The lystlcal Body of Chrlst,' ls a theme nell chosen, a theme that should echo and re-echo throughout your whole llfe. Therefore, my deer grad- uates. the lystlcel Body of Christ shall be the theme of ey message to you. The doctrine of the Hystlcal Body comes to us from our Blessed Lord Hlmself when He sald to His Apostles: 'I am the Vine: you are the branches. He nho ebldes in le, and I in Hlm, he bears much fruit, for without le you can do nothlng.' By understand- ing and living up to the teaching of this sublime doctrlne, we have in our hands the solutlon of our modern problems. As dlsuelty ls at the root of our modern problem, so nnlty ls the keynote of the lystlcal Body. Our union wlth Christ is sublime and Divine. Its members must be unltedly working tonard a com- mon end. The nobler the end and the higher the motive, the closer the union. It is our faith that binds us closely to God, our hope that makes us long for ua to ablde ln God. If ne love we llll love our fellowman: for love of God and love of men for God, and our charity that enables God and Christ, His Dlvlne Son, thls ls the fullness of charity, God. Dnrlng your years at Domlnlcan Conmerclal Hlgh School, you have been taught your relationship to one another as members of Chrlst's lystlcal Body. The lore we become menbers one of ae- other, the closer ne shall be unlted to God in love, and the more ue are united to God and our Divine Heed, the more reel will our charity be. lay you ever be a faithful member Chrlst's lystlcal Body, and may of you remaln close to the holy Iother of God, the lother of all Chrlst's members. lay she never cease to beg for a continuous flon of graces from the glorious head of the Mystical Body to all its members.
