M if X X Early in the spiritual life of Miss Providence, she becomes aware of her role in life as a member of the Mystical Body of Christ. X tl f , Through her moral training, the Quest for Happiness, she learns :X '. theories which she carries over to her sodality and other organizations, -'lj I , and through them to her every day actions. She learns that Christ, the ' NX life stream of the Mystical Body, offers Himself to her daily, in the X Sacrifice of the Mass. As the vine, He nourishes her through frequent, 'lp 4 is even daily communion. , '4 1 X Christ offers Himself to Miss Providence. ln return, she asks: ,f X What shall l render unto the Lord for all that He hath rendered unto 5? lj '!g' ' ? me?,, She answers her own query by those striking words of the Mass: ,.. - C , X 'I will take the Chalice of Salvation,-yes, Lord, I will partake of the r X , X life giving grace that you daily give to me--7 and I will offer it unto FQ 7 X You., 7, , is Q if ,, She likewise learns that a true offering is unselfish. As a soldier fa ! of the Church Militant, she prays for her brothers and sisters who have y gone before her, the Church Suffering, and she prays to those who ' have already reached their goal, the Church Triumphant, so that they may help her to gain that which they have already attained-the foun- tain Head of the Mystical Body.
