First we must form Chr1st in ourselves by loving Him We can not love Him unless we know of HlS charity for us If we read the New Testament we can not help but build a strong love and admiration for th1s God Man From th1s love will grow and from love service As we work toward the forming of Chr1st 1n our selves we can begin the brg job of helping others to know love and serve God This KS Catholic Act1on A very simple but accurate definition of Cathol1c Action IS the laymens part1c1pat1on 1n the work of the Church When the Catholic layman is called to participate in Catholic Action his participation 15 an essentxal law of the life of the Church a law which has existed from the beginning but IES lmp0rt3nCC and demands are being truly revealed 1n our own modern times Catholic Action is the means whereby the Mys tical Body attains its fullness in the social lrfe of man You ask What does Mary have to do with Cath olic Action? Mary has long been the ideal of man Christ had her in mlnd from the begmnmg that she the humble obedient Chr1stl1ke figure who labored faithfully 1n her little Nazareth home would be His Mother Thrs took preparation Llttle acts such as obed ience to her parents in her home and to the priests in the Temple are the prelude to her acceptance of God s request dellvered by the Angel But beyond everythmg her purity and humtlity were Gods special preparatlon We who by the great providence of God are Catholics know the 1nsp1rat1on Mary has been to us personally She in her role as the Mother of God has at times arded each one of us She has been set before us by the priests and nuns as an example for us to imitate Surely we could find no better' Can you imagine Mary talking about one of her absent companions? Or even listening to someone else making unkind remarks? lt was Mary who was always flrst to pick out the secret virtues in others How would we react 1n such a s1tuat1on9 I fear to say there would be very few to react like Mary But is not Christian Lrvmg seemg Christ rn others? Another very great virtue that Mary possessed was humility Is there any more important lesson that Mary could teach the modern world than the lesson of humility? There 15 no doubt that men have lost their hold on essential truths And Wlth those truths has gone the realizanon of correct relationships It 15 by 1m1tat1ng Mary in her humlltty that men will regam what has been lost Thus wrll we live 1n a Christian manner Unless we all play a part 1n Cathol1c Action we limit the applxcation of Marys life to ours Her action does not merely affect a small select group of Cath olics For all Catholics her life IS praiseworthy Her cooperation with the Incarnatxon has a meaning for all who wish to bear God 1I1t0 the world Each of us IS called as Mary was to be a God bearer This xn its completeness belongs to Mary alone who brought the God Man 1nto the world But to each Christian there IS given an opportumty and a duty of giving form to Chrlst in the ctrcumstances and plan of ones life Before we can become an Apostle we must be will the road God has traced for us And this will not be easy But nothing IS 1mposs1ble when we are working for God and with His help Mary surely a cepted the Will of God and fol lowed the strange path perfectly She never doubted a minute but went about her Journey Ah what great faith' Surely e ch one of us should follow her way of bringing God to men and men to God' This 1 Catholic Action Mary called herself the anrrlla the servant of God There IS much here of meaning for the apostolate for all Catholics Mary more than any other person understood Christ She served Chr1st and she serves men as a mother serves her children Isnt this a re HBCCIOII of Christ s own lfe? He came to serve In H15 l1fe He showed a passion for services to all He gave freely w1rhout reserve Surely th1s IS proof that Mary served a Server So do all the followers of Mary and Christ It IS un believable that Mary would be self seeking just as it IS unthmkable that a real Catholic alive with Gods life should think only of himself Pius XI has saxd All must cooperate in Cathol1c Action even 1f they can do so only to a small degree Manor: Casey 56 1 , , . . . . , , . . . , . . . . . ,, , . . . . 7 ,, ' ' , 3 . .
