'CLVLCLJQLI A J edddje One of the most disturbing characteristics of our times is widespread disrespect for authority and open disregard for law. To make matters worse, powerful forces of propaganda are at work in an effort to under- mine authority--particularly, religious authority. You will do well to remember this, knowing that society de- pends for its very existence on the principle of authority. Know, too, that all authority is basically religious. Defend this principle with your life, if necessary. Cherish the priceless value of the Church's authority. It comes from God. Capture the spirit of the Church's law. God is the Lawgiver. Always form your mind in accordance with the Church's official decisions. Think with the mind of the Church. In order to do this, you must be prepared on occasion to sacrifice your own personal opinion. Do not forget that sacrifice is the most primitive and the most important expression of man's homage to God. Dedicate your life to the great principle of self-sacrifice. Strive earnestly for success, but do not become a slave to inordinate desire. Let the spirit of self-sacrifice burn as a lamp in the sanctuary of your soul, to tell of the presence there of Him who sacrificed all--even life itself -that you might be delivered from everlasting death. May your life be one long act of adoration and thanks- giving before that sacred shrine: may you offer daily on the altar the sacrifice of a faithful service.
