Man is the undisputed master of his planet. Since the time of his creation, he has had complete dominion over every type of life in the world, and has been intelligent enough to live with some success in any environment. It is no wonder, then, that man tends to rely on his own wits, and reject any aid by an Almighty Power. He is proud, and voices his defiance: I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. Being proud, it is difficult for man to admit, even to himself, that he is subservient to another. Too often, the whisperings of conscience are drowned out by the line of Invictus This, then, is the aim of Catholic Education: to re- store a lost way of thinking to an imbalanced world. To restore that realization that we are subject to the judg- ment of the Father, and to make each recognize that he is dependent, that to venture alone is folly. I Therefore, the title and purpose of this book is doubly relevant. First, it is a memorial to Monsignor Iames Power, who brought the Christian Brothers of Ireland to America, and second, it is a thanksgiving for the Power of God that has guided the order towards the goal of Catholic Education.
