would also warn us that it is no less a tragedy to be a deserted bridesmaid',-particularly, when He himself is the Groom! All Catholic education is based on the truth that the imparting of knowledge and the moulding of character are a most sacred trust and responsibility. Education fails of its object unless it fashions the personality of the pupil upon the divine model of Jesus Christ. We, your parents and teachers, have been mindful of our duty and have fulfilled it to the best of our ability. That is why it behooves us now to speak solemnly to you graduates, and to remind you that the closing of school doors is indeed a symbolic act of the highest significance to you. We express our hope and we pray that none of you will be classified among the foolish vir- gins of the parable. We express this hope and this prayer precisely because while you were safe behind school doors there was really no test given to you to compare with the hard and difficult one which you now face. It is simply the test called Life , or what we more appro- priately call the fight against the world, the flesh, and the devil. It is needless to repeat that this crucial proof of your education is becoming more difficult as the years march on. We would like to think, therefore, that you go forth to meet it with that opti- mistic and Christian assurance which is contained in these words of Christ to St. Peter: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Finally, there is another idea which we draw from this theme of gates and doors. It would be unpardonable if we did not re- assure you once more that there is the ever blessed Lady whom we invoke as the Gate of Heaven! Surely, that mystical title is full of meaning, for, if you expect to pass the test of life and come safely through the portals of eternity, you must not forget Mary the Mother of God, and the delicate part she plays in the divine scheme of things. All, hinges on the Gate of Heaven! May she grant to each of you to pass safely through life. May each of you, likewise, be found among the elect who stand before heaven's door and chant the joyous entrance psalm of David: Lift up your gates, O ye princes, And be ye lifted up, O eternal gates, And the King of Glory shall enter in.
