rinctyoa 3 ewage I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. Any student of literature is familiar with these lines from Henley's Invictus Any Catholic student knows the limitations which must be put on the meaning of those lines. No one can save himself without the grace of God, for without Me, you can do nothing g yet. on the other hand, God will not save you without yourself. Just how the grace of God and the free will of man are reconciled is a problem which has puzzled philosophers from the time of St. Augustine to the present. Practically speaking, however, one should remember the counsel of St. Francis deSales: I must work as though everything depends upon meg I must pray as though everything depends upon God. Practically, then, understood in the proper sense, you are the master of your fateg you are the captain of your soul. God desires the salvation of every person: He gives that grace which is sufficient for salvation. Yet, in His Providence, He has left every human being free to HMM Zuerencl oankrcf Qwinarler rincipaz Cairn! Cjafltogc accept or reject that grace which would secure salva- tion. In a very real sense, then, whether or not you will attain your eternal end depends in very great measure on YOU. One of the greatest graces given to you thus far is the opportunity for a Catholic education. Your years in the Catholic high school should have equipped you in such a manner that you will be able to seize each occasion to gain merit for heaven. You are the master of your fateg may you always possess the prud- ence and fortitude to act in a fashion which will se- cure your eternal reward.
