Hail Marys and a very special little prayer which had some of her own words injected Now I lay me down to sleep it began and ended with If I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take to my Angel who I know will some day wait for me in heaven Crawling into bed and pulling the fresh white sheets up to her own sheet white face Kitty felt so relaxed and secure The lamp on her dresser was out but there was still light in the room which like a shining sword pierced the black cloak of night It was a heavenly feeling as she drifted to sleep a sleep that was different The scent of hyacinths seemed to perfume the air and the stars outside suddenly became rare gems set rn the downy wings of angels lxrtty was floating through space as her wide eyes searched the sky Sooner than she real ized she was standing alone She peered expectant ly into the new world before her yes it was true There within those radiant gates with all the saints and angels in heaven there stood the Angel Cephas beckoning to Kutty A Story with .rufpnre ending N Lingermg Memories c. EILEEN CADOGAN 46 OU sit in the gathering dusk unable to decide whether to get up and light the lamp thus banishing your lingering thoughts of the sunset or to sit in the gloom un aware of the deepening shadows until it becomes so dark that you are unable to distinguish the familiar objects about you and trip over the furni ture as you grope clumsily for a match Haunting memories clutch your senses and you feel unable to move Dusk always brings back memories you find yourself saying Memories like those first years at school the day Dad lost his job and you came back from boarding school to go to Central High your first date the Senior Prom and then Commencement Sis borrowing your clothes Bud teasing you at the breakfast table Dad reading his Sunday paper on the front porch and Mom singing in the evenings your flowers growing in that grubby plot you called your own the summers at the seashore winter holidays spent skiing in the mountains all tingle your blood and bring a smile to your face the day Dad took you out to the new school on the edge of town and told you that it would be your Alma Mater You looked at the new buildings smelling of fresh paint cement and varnish and smiled It sure looked swell Our Lady of Lourdes College The years you spent there the tears you shed on Class Day were behind you and the world was before you But you still heard the echoes of your school life singing My Country Tis of Thee in the grades cheering at Central High s football games singing rn the Church choir praying in the college chapel for a deceased classmate They rang in your ears pounded your brain Your steps faltered Would you be able to go into the battle and grief and strife of the world? Then a voice came to you echoing above all the others Come follow Me Come it said and unhesitantly you followed meek and humble of heart You turned your back upon the greed of the world and labored lovingly for the priceless treasure that was for the faithful everlasting happiness You are awakened from your reveries by the tinkle of the chapel bell The days work is o er It is the hour of Benediction for the faithful at the bombed mission God is with them even in the hour of peril The hardships of the past years are forgotten as you watch these humble people gather in the small chapel Where?
