48887 | And what shall I say of the aged Simeon, who takes the Divine Infant in his arms? |
48887 | And why? |
48887 | As for myself I see clearly that I am quite unworthy of such a favour; and as for you, what are your sentiments? |

48887 | But shall we visit Him empty- handed? |
48887 | But was it not a great trial for Our Lady when the Angel appeared to her in human form? |

48887 | Could we not wait till to- morrow? |
48887 | Do we not daily experience how changeable is man in his good resolutions? |
48887 | Does not our Lord carry us in His arms in permitting us to receive Him in this Sacrament? |
48887 | First of all, what more profound humility can be imagined than that practised by Our Saviour and Our Lady in their visit to the Temple? |
48887 | For how long? |

48887 | He writes:''Who shall separate me from the charity of Christ?'' |
48887 | How can He accept the offering of this heart in which He finds nothing but disobedience to His Most Holy Will?'' |
48887 | How could it die if immersed in Him Who is life? |
48887 | How could the Eternal Word, Purity itself, lessen the virginal purity of His Mother? |
48887 | How far are we then from placing the Son and the Mother on an equality, as our adversaries falsely assert? |
48887 | How is it that I am so little united to Thee, since Thou art always in me? |
48887 | How many pretexts might they not have found to be dispensed from obeying? |
48887 | I would say to such souls: Do you not perceive that with these ideas you do not belong_ wholly_ to God? |
48887 | If Mary be holy, who is it that sanctified her but her Divine Son? |
48887 | If virginity can be repaired by means of humility, can not lost time be repaired by making a fervent and good use of the present? |
48887 | If you, our tender Mother, have no compassion for us, what will become of your most miserable children? |
48887 | Indeed, what does the manna prefigure but the Divinity of the Son of God, come down from heaven to unite Himself with our humanity? |

48887 | Now would Martha have been so much troubled if she had had no other end in view than to please Our Lord? |
48887 | She could undoubtedly have said to her Spouse,''Why should I go into Egypt, when neither my Son nor the Angel have made it known to me?'' |
48887 | Such is the case with holy love, when it meets with obstacles,--and where does it not find them? |
48887 | The faithful servant of Mary, having heard these words, replied:''My sweetest Lady, wast thou not already full of grace and virtue?'' |
48887 | The holy Archbishop, filled with consolation at these words, exclaimed:''But how can I do so, Most Holy Virgin, when I know not these joys?'' |
48887 | Then, approaching the sick woman, he said:"Madam, do you desire to be reconciled with God, and die a Christian death?" |
48887 | Thou dwellest in my heart, how is it that I do not abide in Thine? |

48887 | Why do you allow yourself to be thus shamefully dragged on the ground? |
48887 | Why do you not defend yourself?'' |
48887 | Why is this? |
48887 | Why so much affection for earthly creatures, for false deceivers, who make you lose both body and soul, both Paradise and God? |

48887 | and will my name also be there? |
48887 | have you forgotten men in their tribulations and need, by reason of the sublime dignity to which you have been raised? |

48887 | you will add,''how shall I dare to give my heart to God when it is so full of imperfections and sins? |
33596 | How can this man give us his flesh to eat? |
33596 | What hast thou that thou hast not received? 33596 11 Why remain sad and idle? 33596 20 What is it that renders death terrible? 33596 27 Wouldst thou know what thou art? 33596 And does it not appear to you most fitting that God, the Holy Ghost, should preserve His spouse, and God, the Son, His Mother, from sin of every kind? 33596 And if she crosses the sea of death will she forget you? 33596 And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received? |
33596 | And is anything too good, too beautiful, too precious, for Him? |
33596 | And is it contrary to reason? |
33596 | And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?" |
33596 | And we find it difficult to return this love? |
33596 | And what else could we wish? |
33596 | And who can seriously contemplate those sufferings, borne for us so patiently, without being moved to pity and to repentance? |
33596 | And why should it not be right and useful to invoke the_ intercession_ of the saints? |
33596 | And why? |
33596 | Are not good Catholics more attentive, more devout at Mass than others at their prayer- meetings? |
33596 | Are not these sufficient reasons for the use of the Latin language? |
33596 | Are these words not a sufficient warning to encourage us to persevere in our good resolves? |
33596 | Are you in distress? |
33596 | Are you quite sure of it? |
33596 | Are you to her an honor or a disgrace, a joy or a sorrow? |
33596 | But in the world, in what condition do we behold her? |
33596 | But is it not also a martyrdom to suffer for years the pains of a lingering illness? |
33596 | But is the life of celibacy unscriptural? |
33596 | But should we not go directly to God, since God alone has power to justify us? |
33596 | But what return can I make Thee, being of myself insolvent, indigent, and miserable? |
33596 | Can the altar on which He dwells be too richly adorned? |
33596 | Can we do too much in His honor? |
33596 | Can we doubt the willingness of the saints to aid us by their intercession? |
33596 | Could a course like hers have terminated more appropriately than with so beautiful, painless, and tranquil a passing away? |
33596 | Could language be clearer? |
33596 | Dear reader, did the consummate puerility, silliness, foolishness of such an objection ever present itself to you? |
33596 | Did not God love us first? |
33596 | Did we not oppose them by yielding to our evil inclinations and passions? |
33596 | Do we make void the Gospel? |
33596 | Do we show it in our actions and conduct? |
33596 | Do you shun the company of the wicked? |
33596 | Do you think they would have done so had they families depending upon them? |
33596 | Do you understand any mystery? |
33596 | Do you understand how Jesus Christ is both God and man? |
33596 | Do you understand the Blessed Trinity? |
33596 | Do you wonder, then, that Catholics love and revere their priests? |
33596 | Does religion exert this powerful influence on us? |
33596 | Does this thought not banish all the difficulties of perseverance? |
33596 | For whom, then, shall I henceforth live, if not for Thee, my Lord? |
33596 | Have I not compelled Thee often to dwell in my heart, full of sin and impurity as it was? |
33596 | Have we corresponded with God''s designs? |
33596 | Have you, during your past life, always been a good child of this loving Mother? |

33596 | How can the clouds have a voice?" |
33596 | How do I act in suffering and affliction? |
33596 | How do you act in this regard? |
33596 | How must I regard the world and its vanities, when I behold Thee hanging on the cross, covered with wounds? |
33596 | How shall we justify our unfeeling hardness of heart, by which we seek every trifling pretense to exempt us from the duty of aiding the unfortunate? |
33596 | How, then, can it be wrong or superfluous to invoke the intercession of the saints in heaven? |
33596 | How, then, could such a highly privileged body, a pure and virginal body, be permitted to pass through corruption and decay? |
33596 | How, then, shall He feel moved to grant us new benefits? |
33596 | How, then, shall I extol Thee, immortal King of glory? |
33596 | However, is there any reasonable doubt that the saints are able to render us such a service? |
33596 | I have frequently resolved to amend, and yet where do I remain but in the midst of sin and vice? |
33596 | If He had the power to choose her did He not also have the power to preserve her from original sin? |
33596 | If the Son of God said of Himself:"Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into His glory?" |
33596 | If they, with the aid of God''s grace, achieved such victories, why should not we, by the same aid, be able to accomplish the little desired of us? |
33596 | If we honor the good and virtuous, where can we find a nobler example of virtue than Mary? |
33596 | If, then, Christ is the author, is not the Catholic practice reasonable? |
33596 | Is it in vain that the keys have been given to the Church? |
33596 | Is it love of truth to believe in the abasement of Christ and to reject His glorification, when both are related in the selfsame book?" |
33596 | Is it not reasonable as well as scriptural to forbid it? |
33596 | Is it not reasonable thus to praise God in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles? |
33596 | Is it not reasonable to believe and practise that which the Christian Church of every age believed and practised? |
33596 | Is it not reasonable, then, to honor Mary, to love her, and to believe that she loves us? |
33596 | Is it not, then, a reasonable, a beneficial practice? |
33596 | Is it on account of their intrinsic merit? |
33596 | Is it then in vain that Christ hath said:''Whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven''? |
33596 | Is not this a reasonable practice? |
33596 | June 1 CAN WE, amongst all hearts, find one more amiable than that of Jesus? |
33596 | MEDITATION WHO can describe Mary''s sorrow when, returning from Jerusalem, she missed her divine Son? |
33596 | Margaret asked him,"How do you know that we worship a crucified God?" |
33596 | Margaret continued:"Why did you not read further on? |
33596 | Now, dear reader, since Jesus Christ is really present, is not the Catholic practice regarding the Blessed Sacrament reasonable? |
33596 | Of whom have we to expect greater benefits or to fear greater evils-- from God or man? |
33596 | On whom shall we call for aid? |
33596 | Or is there any one that doubts the_ efficacy_ of the saints''prayer with God? |
33596 | Or is there anything in her example that we are unable to imitate? |
33596 | Ought the opinion and ridicule of the world influence us to prevent our pleasing God? |
33596 | Ought this not be sufficient inducement for us to serve Him zealously and gratefully? |
33596 | PRACTICE DURING this second great sorrow, what was Mary''s behavior? |
33596 | PRACTICE"HOW shall this be done, because I know not man?" |
33596 | Reprobus rejoined:"So thou fearest the power of Satan? |
33596 | Shall a Christian be less careful as to their virtue? |
33596 | Should I, then, not bear in union with Thee my easy burden of suffering and accept the sweet yoke of Thy commandments? |
33596 | Should we not adore Him as really present in the Blessed Sacrament? |
33596 | Should we not frequently receive Him with pure and contrite hearts? |
33596 | Should we not honor Our Lord and Our God? |
33596 | Should we not show Him every mark of respect and devotion? |
33596 | Should we not, when we enter the church, genuflect, bend the knee in His honor? |
33596 | The Last Sacraments"Is any man sick among you? |
33596 | The cowardly fear,"What will people say?" |
33596 | The soldiers of the guard were terrified and asked each other,"What is this? |
33596 | Then his body is anointed, and thus is fulfilled what stands written:''Is any man sick among you? |
33596 | They can be made heirs of property, of a kingdom on earth without their consent; why not also of the kingdom of heaven? |
33596 | Thou hast created me for heaven; what, then, have I to do with the world? |
33596 | Was it any more difficult for God to sanctify Mary at the moment of her conception, at the moment of the union of her soul with her body? |
33596 | Were you never ashamed of your Catholic name? |
33596 | What better evidence could we have of the beneficial effects of our ceremonies in raising the heart to God? |
33596 | What else but the intercession of the saint whom he had befriended obtained for this heathen the grace of the Faith and martyrdom? |
33596 | What homage can I give in proportion to Thy greatness? |
33596 | What is more capable of raising the heart and mind of man to God than a priest celebrating Mass? |
33596 | What more inspiring than some of our sacred music? |
33596 | What pledge can I give as an earnest of the gratitude I owe to Thee? |
33596 | What prompts such sacrifices? |
33596 | What return do you make to your Saviour for His great and manifold benefits? |
33596 | What return shall I make for all the benefits Thou didst bestow on me? |
33596 | What would be the necessity of this power if they could not exercise it in confession? |
33596 | When she appeared before him he thus addressed her:"What is your name and condition?" |
33596 | Where will you find charity practised in reality except in the Catholic Church? |
33596 | Who am I, O God, that Thou shouldst work such wonders for my sake? |
33596 | Who can describe this affecting meeting? |
33596 | Who can look upon the crucifix or upon a picture of the Crucifixion without being reminded of all the sufferings of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? |
33596 | Who will grant me that I may die for love of Thee? |
33596 | Who will say that this practice is not reasonable? |
33596 | Who, for example, can behold the cross on the chasuble the priest wears without thinking of all Christ suffered for us on the cross? |
33596 | Why exhaust thyself in the anguish of melancholy? |
33596 | Witnessing this, how can I continue to sin? |
33596 | Would not Gamaliel''s proposition, to judge whether Christ''s religion be divine or human from its effects, result in its disfavor?" |
33596 | _ Devotion._--What is meant by devotion in prayer? |
33596 | _ Prayer_ O JESUS, Thou hast set me apart from the world; what, then, shall I seek therein? |
33596 | _ Prayer_ O JESUS, who shall give to my eyes a torrent of tears, that day and night I may weep for my sins? |
33596 | void the words of Christ?" |
38965 | How shall this be done,and yet my vow be left intact? |
38965 | How shall this be done? |
38965 | How shall we sing in a strange land? |
38965 | Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? |
38965 | Who is My Mother? |
38965 | Who is She? |
38965 | Who is She? |
38965 | Who is she that cometh up from the desert? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Who is she? |
38965 | Why hast Thou done so? |
38965 | ("_ How shall this be done?_") 23 7. |
38965 | ("_ Son, why hast Thou done so to us?_") 65 18. |
38965 | (_ Introit for the Feast of the Assumption._) What were the causes of their joy? |
38965 | All those to whom He appeared would take it for granted that His Mother had seen Him-- why write down a thing that everybody knew? |
38965 | Am I in_ haste_ to perform acts of charity, especially when the request for them comes at inconvenient moments? |
38965 | Am I prepared to ratify this offering that my Elder Brother made in my name? |
38965 | Am I ready to give them up to Him to Whom they belong when He asks for them? |
38965 | Am I ready to make my sacrifice-- even a blind one-- ready to say:_ Ecce adsum_--"Behold, here I am"--and to trust where I can not understand? |
38965 | Am I, like Mary, absolutely faithful to any contract that I may have made with GOD? |
38965 | And He answers:"Did you not know that I must be about My Father''s business?" |
38965 | And do I regard it as something precious, consecrated and dedicated, GOD''S Temple, His own dwelling- place? |
38965 | And during those long years-- according to some opinions fifteen, to others, twenty- three-- what was Mary''s strength? |
38965 | And if Mary turned and said:"Yes, my child, what is it?" |
38965 | And it is the same flame of love which now impels her to speak:"How shall this be done?" |
38965 | And shall not I, too, take an interest in this wondrous Treasury? |
38965 | And what about JESUS? |
38965 | And what about Mary''s joy? |
38965 | And what is such an effectual barrier to sympathy as the feeling that we are not understood? |
38965 | And what was Mary''s part? |
38965 | And what will be my position there? |
38965 | Are my affections set on things above, where JESUS and Mary are? |
38965 | Are not all such things as these a part of it? |
38965 | Are these great things possible for me? |
38965 | As soon as I know that whatever is being asked of me is the Holy Spirit''s doing, am I at rest? |
38965 | Before I go on, let me ask myself to what extent I am copying my Mother in at once passing on to GOD all praise that may come to me? |
38965 | But are we not making Mary almost equal with her Son? |
38965 | But what is It to those who know? |
38965 | Can I, sweet Mother of Sorrows, pour balm into that terrible wound? |
38965 | Can it be that they do not believe that GOD did great things for her? |
38965 | Can it be that they refuse to listen to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Who tells them that Mary is blessed among women? |
38965 | Could any gulf be wider? |
38965 | Could not her intercession for the Church have been even more effectual had she been close to her Son''s throne in Heaven? |
38965 | Could she not have been the Mother of Good Counsel in Heaven for those who had to guide the Church in its infancy, as she has been ever since? |
38965 | Did Mary receive the Last Sacraments? |
38965 | Do I always take JESUS with me when I go to visit my friends? |
38965 | Do I follow my Mother''s example in this? |
38965 | Do I in my times of desolation turn instinctively to His House, where I know that He is hidden? |
38965 | Do I love to hear about my own country? |
38965 | Do I realise that this makes my body holy? |
38965 | Do I say:"How can this be done?" |
38965 | Do I tell my Mother of all the difficulties of the way and allow her to console me with stories of the Homeland? |
38965 | Do those whom I visit feel that I create an atmosphere-- an atmosphere which makes them more ready to bless JESUS and Mary? |
38965 | Does it almost weary me to have such perfection given me to copy? |
38965 | Does it seem impossible? |
38965 | Does my happiness, even in the midst of trial, make others understand what great things GOD_ can_ do for those who love Him? |
38965 | Does not everything in the house speak of Him? |
38965 | Does she sit still and mourn over the days that are gone? |
38965 | Does the joy that is in my heart show itself in my countenance, in my manner, in my actions, and sometimes perhaps in my words? |
38965 | Does the mother mind the sighs? |
38965 | For the third time the Angels ask the question:"Who is she that cometh up from the desert flowing with delights, leaning upon her Beloved?" |
38965 | GOD gave His reasons this time-- but when He does not, what then? |
38965 | Have I any right to claim the privileges? |
38965 | Have things of earth no attraction for me in comparison with heavenly things? |
38965 | How can I be like JESUS, and a child of thine without it? |
38965 | How can I do this or that_ here_? |
38965 | How comes it that there is no sorrow with which the Heart of Mary can not sympathise? |
38965 | How could Joseph bear to have suspicions of his wife, whom he considered to be purity itself, and whom he loved so tenderly? |
38965 | How did Mary win the Victor''s crown? |
38965 | How does Mary act? |
38965 | How far am I like her? |
38965 | How far am I like my Mother in this? |
38965 | How far do I copy my Mother in this? |
38965 | How is it that"never is it heard of that her children turn to her in vain"? |
38965 | How is it with me? |
38965 | How often I say it!--_Hail Mary!_ What do I mean by it? |
38965 | How was Mary transformed? |
38965 | How was the world transformed? |
38965 | If I know that He is there, why need I trouble so much about the ups and downs? |
38965 | If my salvation cost JESUS and Mary so much, ought it not to cost me something too? |
38965 | Is it my first motive and object? |
38965 | Is it not just because of this flame of communicating love? |
38965 | Is it so? |
38965 | Is it so? |
38965 | Is my whole heart in Heaven because my treasure is there? |
38965 | Is not this something like my_ Hail Maries_ carelessly and lightly said? |
38965 | Is there any use in crying for re- admittance? |
38965 | Is there anything in which I can copy her in her visit to her cousin Elizabeth? |
38965 | It was certainly_ love_ that prompted the word, but in what sense was it a_ transforming_ love? |
38965 | Let me answer my question by another:_ Could_ GOD do otherwise? |
38965 | Mary had more reason to hope than many others, for was she not of the tribe of Judah, and of the House of David? |
38965 | Mary''s Fifth Word"_ And His Mother said to Him: Son, why hast Thou done so to us? |
38965 | Mary''s First Word"_ And Mary said to the Angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?_"( St Luke i. |
38965 | May not another reason have been in order that she might be the_ better able to sympathise_ with the exiled children of Eve(_ exules filii Evæ_)? |
38965 | O Mother of fair love, why do the poor banished children of Eve so continually turn to thee? |
38965 | Of what, then, did Mary die? |
38965 | Or is she disappointed to find that her child''s thoughts are not really with her at all? |
38965 | She knew that He would rise again-- but would she see Him? |
38965 | She says straight out what she is feeling, with that holy familiarity to which her love gives her a right:"Son, why hast Thou done so to us? |
38965 | That is: Who is she who is adorned with all possible graces and virtues? |
38965 | This was Mary''s sacrifice-- but what is her part in the Sacrifice that her Son is offering to His Father for the world''s redemption? |
38965 | To what extent have I taken this word seriously? |
38965 | To what extent is this_ flamma amoris compatientis_ burning in me? |
38965 | To whom, then, is it more natural for the poor banished children of Eve to turn than to the Mother whose one idea is to get them back? |
38965 | Was it just before the War in Heaven, when He revealed His plans to the first creatures of His Hands? |
38965 | Was it not just what they wanted? |
38965 | Was it on the day of the Holy and Immaculate Conception? |
38965 | Was it when He spoke to our first parents of"the seed of the woman"? |
38965 | Was the birth of this little one so different from any other? |
38965 | What about our sacrifice? |
38965 | What did our Lord do with His interruption, which was a very real one, and far more disturbing than are many of ours of which we complain so readily? |
38965 | What do I know of this flame of joyful love? |
38965 | What does He do? |
38965 | What does Mary''s death say to me? |
38965 | What does it mean-- this word"_ Ave_,"_ Hail!_ with which Gabriel begins his message? |
38965 | What does it mean? |
38965 | What have I got to do, then, in the matter? |
38965 | What have_ I_ got to do as an exile? |
38965 | What is the secret, then, of suffering? |
38965 | What is this ark sanctified by GOD but Mary''s body, of which the Son of GOD took flesh? |
38965 | What is to decide whether I get it or not? |
38965 | What made those Communions so intense? |
38965 | What position shall I earn? |
38965 | What was JESUS to Mary in the land of her exile? |
38965 | What was it that gave her an almost superhuman courage? |
38965 | What, then, must have been the measure with which Mary was"filled with the Holy Ghost,"for what was the Apostles''work compared with hers? |
38965 | When did GOD begin to prepare His Tabernacle? |
38965 | When she turns at my_ Hail!_ to ask me for something, does she always get it? |
38965 | Where can I get it? |
38965 | Who had a greater right to know it than Mary, through whose means the Incarnation took place? |
38965 | Who is My mother? |
38965 | Who is my Mother? |
38965 | Who is this but the Queen of Heaven clothed with her glorious body of immortality? |
38965 | Why are the Angels so full of interest? |
38965 | Why is mine so precious? |
38965 | Why was Abraham called the friend of GOD? |
38965 | Why was Mary''s body so precious? |
38965 | Why was her body not left in the tomb? |
38965 | Why was it? |
38965 | Why, then, has He done so? |
38965 | Why, then, should Mary die? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Why? |
38965 | Would He come to her? |
38965 | Would it be better not to say it at all, than to risk any want of respect to that Mother whom I love so dearly? |
38965 | Would it be fair if all were easy and smooth for me? |
38965 | Would it be worthy of Himself if He were to give me anything less than a_ perfect_ copy? |
38965 | Would not the Beatific Vision in Heaven have been better than her Communions on earth? |
38965 | _ 1st Prelude._ The Angels asking three times:"Who is she?" |
38965 | _ Colloquy_ with Mary, asking her to obtain for me the grace to say with her:"How shall this be done?" |
38965 | _ Point I._--"WHO IS SHE?" |
38965 | _ Point I._--THE ANGELS What does it all mean? |
38965 | _ Point I._--THE PREPARATION OF THE TABERNACLE Why should Mary be called a Tabernacle? |
38965 | _ Point II._--"WHO IS SHE?" |
38965 | _ Point II._--FULL OF GRACE How is Mary full of grace? |
38965 | _ Point II._--THE HOLY TABERNACLE What was it? |
38965 | _ Point II._--THE REASON FOR MARY''S EXILE Why did her Son leave her behind to suffer so intensely, as He well knew she would, from the separation? |
38965 | _ Point III._--"WHO IS SHE?" |
38965 | _ Point III._--A LESSON ON RELATIONSHIPS To the interrupter He said:"Who is My mother? |
38965 | _ Resolution._ To ask myself the question often to- day:"Who is she?" |
38965 | _ Spiritual Bouquet._"How shall this be done?" |
38965 | _ Spiritual Bouquet._"Why hast Thou done so to us?" |
38965 | and who are My brethren?" |
38965 | should I know? |
38965 | that it was of me that He thought and to me that He spoke? |
14072 | How could death devour, how could those below receive, how could corruption invade, THAT BODY, in which life was received? 14072 How is it that ye sought me? |
14072 | How is it that ye sought me? 14072 Jesus and Mary?!" |
14072 | Quomodo corruptio invaderet CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est? 14072 Who would not wonder on hearing us called Atheists? |
14072 | Whom have ye seen, ye shepherds? 14072 --Can this be right? 14072 A monk, under[ the garb of?] 14072 After the quotation he says,What can be clearer?" |
14072 | Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished? |
14072 | Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished? |
14072 | And to what do they amount? |
14072 | And what do those works present to us, on the subject of the Invocation and worship of the Virgin Mary? |
14072 | And what is the tendency of this service? |
14072 | Are they so revealed? |
14072 | As they burst in, and some shouted with a voice of phrenzy,"Where is the traitor?" |
14072 | But by a consciousness of this liability in all things human, must we be tempted to suppress the truth? |
14072 | But can this be so? |
14072 | But closing the holy volume, what light does primitive antiquity enable us to throw on this subject? |
14072 | But does Origen, therefore, countenance any invocation of them? |
14072 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? |
14072 | But then what becomes of his authority as a writer citing testimony? |
14072 | But what is the fact? |
14072 | But what? |
14072 | But, are you afraid to approach even Him? |
14072 | But, can this be right and safe? |
14072 | Can any words place more on an entire level with each other, the eternal Son of God and the Virgin? |
14072 | Can it stand this test? |
14072 | Can that worship become the disciples of the Gospel and the Cross, which addresses such prayers and such praises to the spirit of a mortal man? |
14072 | Can the army of angels be included in that description? |
14072 | Can this by any the most subtle refinement be understood to be a mere request to her to pray for us? |
14072 | Can we wonder that individuals, high in honour with that Church, have carried out the same worship to far greater lengths? |
14072 | Catholic, Apostolical? |
14072 | Closing the inspired volume, and seeking at the fountain- head for the evidence of Christian antiquity, what do we find? |
14072 | Could any of us address these same words to one of Christ''s ministers on earth? |
14072 | Could the beloved John, to whose kind and tender care our blessed Lord gave his mother of especial trust, have offered to her such a prayer as this? |
14072 | Could this come from one who invoked angels? |
14072 | Dicite quidnam vidistis? |
14072 | Did he teach his people to invoke Abraham? |
14072 | Do Catholics use stronger words than these? |
14072 | Do not ye, saith the Lord, despise one of the least of those who are in the Church? |
14072 | Does Gregory assure the faithful that he will implore in humble prayer of Peter and Paul? |
14072 | Does Gregory bid the faithful lift up their eyes to Mary the sole destroyer of heresies? |
14072 | Does this sound any thing at all like adoration or invocation? |
14072 | Either Abraham was in heaven in the presence of God, or not; if he was in heaven, why did not his descendants invoke his aid? |
14072 | For how could that authority, which derived its flesh from thy flesh, oppose thy power? |
14072 | For if the cause, yea, forasmuch as the cause makes the martyr, did ever a title of holy martyrs exist more glorious? |
14072 | For what are the circumstances of the parabolic representation? |
14072 | For what prayer can be more spiritual than that which is given to us by Christ, by whom even the Holy Spirit is sent to us? |
14072 | For what would he deny to Christ, who for Christ was about to shed his blood? |
14072 | How can this be? |
14072 | How much time intervened? |
14072 | How, in plain honesty, can we avoid coming to the same conclusion on the subject of the invocation of saints? |
14072 | In an act of all human acts the most solemn and holy, can recourse be had to such refinements without great danger? |
14072 | In terris quis apparuit? |
14072 | Is it possible to suppose that this teacher in Christ''s school had any idea of a Christian praying to saints or angels? |
14072 | Is the invocation of saints and angels and the blessed Virgin to be made an exception to this rule? |
14072 | Is this such an exposition as that the reason of a cultivated mind, and the faith of an enlightened Christian, can acquiesce in it? |
14072 | It was in answer to the remonstrance made by Mary,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
14072 | It{ 261} will be well to place that hymn addressed to St. Peter, side by side with the very word of God, and then ask, Can this prayer be safe? |
14072 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
14072 | Knew ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
14072 | Now, on what authority does this doctrine rest? |
14072 | Of what saint in the calendar was ever such a thing as this spoken? |
14072 | On what foundation stone is this religious worship built? |
14072 | On what foundation, sure and certain, can we build our hopes that"He will favourably with mercy hear our prayers?" |
14072 | Or did St. Athanasius think or speak with us, or with Protestants?" |
14072 | Or, who are my brethren? |
14072 | Quantum temporis intercessit? |
14072 | Quomodo mois devoraret, quomodo inferi susciperent, quomodo corruptio invaderit CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est? |
14072 | Rather, we would reverently ask, would He have given this turn to such an address, had He not desired to check any such feeling towards her? |
14072 | Say ye, tell ye, who hath appeared on the earth? |
14072 | Say ye, what saw ye? |
14072 | Subordinate to this, and necessary for its decision, was involved the question, What part of his nature, if any, Christ derived from the Virgin Mary? |
14072 | Such questions as these,"Is there any thing unreasonable in this? |
14072 | The answer of the tomb begins thus,"Why seek ye her in a tomb, who has been taken up on high to the heavenly tabernacles?" |
14072 | The greatness of his goodness who can adequately express?... |
14072 | This, then, is the account nearest to the time of the supposed event; and yet can any thing be more vague, and by way of testimony, more worthless? |
14072 | To what flesh? |
14072 | To what flesh? |
14072 | What can be a more true prayer with the Father than that which came from the lips of the Son, who is Truth? |
14072 | What could not such a Son obtain with such a Father? |
14072 | What has God promised? |
14072 | What has He commanded man to do? |
14072 | What has He taught man to hope for? |
14072 | What human faculty-- which among the most precious of the Almighty''s blessings is not liable to perversion? |
14072 | What impression was it likely to make, and to leave on minds of ordinary powers and instruction? |
14072 | What is revealed? |
14072 | What is there in reason or revelation to forbid me to do so?" |
14072 | What man, when he is in a foreign country, would not hasten to return to his native land?... |
14072 | What testimony do the first years and the first ages after the canon of Scripture was closed, bear upon this point? |
14072 | What unquestionable moral duty can be found, which has not been transformed by man''s waywardness into an instrument of evil? |
14072 | What word would not apply to Him, in most perfect accordance with Scripture language? |
14072 | Who can tell of the bond of the love of God? |
14072 | Who, without weeping, can relate the rest? |
14072 | Whom have I in heaven but Thee? |
14072 | Why did not the inspired David invoke the father of the faithful to intercede for him with God? |
14072 | Why do we not hasten and run that we may see our country, and salute our parents? |
14072 | Why do we spare ourselves? |
14072 | Why is no intimation given in the later books of the Old Testament that such supplications were offered to Moses, or Aaron, or Abraham, or Noah? |
14072 | Why should I attempt to enter heaven through any other gate than{ 398} that gate which the Lord of heaven has opened for me? |
14072 | Why then should a Christian wish to add to that which God has been pleased to appoint and to reveal? |
14072 | Will he now have less power and credit? |
14072 | Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
14072 | With the Christian the first question is, What is the truth? |
14072 | Would any difference have appeared in their external worship? |
14072 | Would not this be a welcome tenet, if true?" |
14072 | [ Footnote 95: Quem vidistis, Pastores? |
14072 | and whether St. Luke, whose pen wrote this account, could have been made cognizant of any such right invested in the Virgin? |
14072 | can such a call upon her to show her power and influence over the eternal Son of the eternal Father be fitting--"Show that thou art a mother?" |
14072 | or to discountenance the cultivation of those gifts and faculties? |
14072 | others,"Where is the Archbishop?" |
14072 | quid parcimus nobis? |
14072 | to disparage those moral duties? |
14072 | what will become of me, if thou do not exert, in my behalf, thy powerful influence with Jesus?... |
14072 | why should other forms of supplicating them be adopted, whose obvious and direct meaning implies a different thing? |
14072 | { 154} Why did he see not one, but many visions? |
14072 | { 299} But what is the real state of the case with regard to the fact of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary? |
14072 | { 304} Now, suppose for one moment that this came from the pen of Eusebius himself, to what does it amount? |
14072 | { 317} That the writers of the first four centuries should never have referred to such a fact? |
14072 | { 404} Quare non vidat unam, sed plurimas visiones? |
12624 | And when they saw Him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto Him, Son, why has thou thus dealt with us? 12624 Are there no limits to the demands of God upon us,"we sometimes despairingly ask? |
12624 | Lulley,she said and sung also,"My own dear Son, why are Thou wo? |
12624 | My sweete Son, Thou art me dear, Oh why have men hanged thee here? 12624 What,"it is asked,"is to be done? |
12624 | Who is this Jesus of Nazareth Whom ye preach? 12624 Why not,"ask certain people who have not thought out the meaning of Catholic dogma,"why not go at once to our Lord; why go in this roundabout way?" |
12624 | Alas, my dear Son, what means all this?" |
12624 | And Mary, the Mother? |
12624 | And as we go through our self- examination one of the most profitable questions we can ask is,"What do I love?" |
12624 | And can not we get the same attitude toward life? |
12624 | And can we for a moment think that the years of intercourse with our Lady meant nothing in the spiritual development of S. John? |
12624 | And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? |
12624 | And how else than as Queen of the heavenly host should we expect her to be represented? |
12624 | And how have we guarded this Presence? |
12624 | And if it does not, what am I going to do about it? |
12624 | And is not that just what we are constantly doing, and what constitutes the most pressing danger of the spiritual life? |
12624 | And shall we find there on the Way of Sorrow the virtues that are the opposite of the Seven Sins? |
12624 | And then came the demand for a review; that we look our practice squarely in the face and ask,"What is the ground of this? |
12624 | And then the question arises: What is the bearing of all that on my personal practice? |
12624 | And to his insolent question,"Why should I suffer in an intolerable situation?" |
12624 | And we have seen there, or we may see, may we not? |
12624 | And what about the last of the deadly sins, the sin of sloth? |
12624 | And what are we to understand Him to mean? |
12624 | And what can be the meaning of calling such a life useless to the world? |
12624 | And what have we to counteract the depression which is the natural reaction from the spectacle of the world- rejection of Christ? |
12624 | And what was S. Mary''s own attitude toward the announcement of the Angel? |
12624 | And what was the result? |
12624 | And when we ask,"What is the purpose of this?" |
12624 | And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? |
12624 | Any sane person recognises that; but does the same person recognise the sane principle as applying in his own life? |
12624 | Apart from the waste of time due to attempting the impossible, what would be gained? |
12624 | Are there no limits to the methods by which business is to be pushed, except legal limits? |
12624 | Are they in fact spiritual? |
12624 | Are they those who deny the legitimacy of invocation, or those in whose religious practise it holds an important and vital place? |
12624 | Are we devoted to the aim of manifesting the glory of God and finishing the work that He has given us to do? |
12624 | Are we not bound to stand by the Lord''s day? |
12624 | Are we not quite safe in the case of S. Mary in the deduction from the nature of her vocation of the spiritual perfection to attribute to her? |
12624 | Are we to be made lax by silly talk about puritanism? |
12624 | Are we to be taken in by talk of hard work during the week and consequent need of rest? |
12624 | Are we to remain quiescent, or are we to make the attempt to generate moral force? |
12624 | Are we to think of these stories as containing any grain of truth? |
12624 | Are you not, in fact, neglecting your duty in not changing it? |
12624 | But are we to think of the death of a child as a disaster? |
12624 | But can we say that they have very wide or real acknowledgment? |
12624 | But death? |
12624 | But go back to the men and women whose sole interest is amusement-- how do they live? |
12624 | But have we all learned to use these hours so that we may be ready to meet the hours of testing which shall surely come? |
12624 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? |
12624 | But how can Christendom generate any more moral force? |
12624 | But in our own Communion do we get any strong protest in favour of the sanctity of the day? |
12624 | But is anything actually saved by this sort of compromise? |
12624 | But is that the really horrifying thing about the Passion of our Lord? |
12624 | But is this true, to keep to a specific example, of the Blessed Virgin Mary? |
12624 | But just wherein does the dying of Christ become an example for us? |
12624 | But we feel, do we not? |
12624 | But what constitutes good will in a man? |
12624 | But what does this exemption from the common lot of men actually mean? |
12624 | But who, precisely, is to make the offering? |
12624 | But why not think of it as consummation? |
12624 | Can we imagine any more wonderful expression of the life of holiness to which we are called than that? |
12624 | Can we think that when in answer to our invocation she presents our prayers in union with her own, that love will fail? |
12624 | Did she remain there, or did she follow S. John, and at length come to live with him in Ephesus? |
12624 | Did they think that He had mistaken the caravan and been carried off in some other direction and was lost to them forever? |
12624 | Did they think that Jesus would be caught by the life of the Passover crowds that filled the streets of Jerusalem? |
12624 | Did they think that it would be a child''s curiosity which would hold him fascinated with the glittering toys of the bazaars? |
12624 | Do I see that it is quite possible that I may be wholly wrong, and that I am hindered by pride from reversing my attitude?" |
12624 | Do they believe in immortality? |
12624 | Do we give only when we are asked? |
12624 | Do we not feel that in S. John the mother has been committed to our love and care? |
12624 | Do we not feel that in S. John we have been recommended to the love and care of Mary who is our mother? |
12624 | Do we not often feel that something must be true far in advance of our ability to prove it so? |
12624 | Do we prefer to be anonymous? |
12624 | Do we put the spiritual interests of humanity first? |
12624 | Do we spend them in guarding the Presence? |
12624 | Do we yield to spectacular appeals or only to those that we have examined and found good? |
12624 | Do you not know that being busy is one of the most effective screens that you can put between your conscience and your obligation? |
12624 | Do you think that it is wrong to do this or that? |
12624 | Does it correspond with the teaching of Scripture and of the Catholic Church? |
12624 | Does not God''s use of a person imply qualities in the person used? |
12624 | Does she not represent us in one way and S. John represent us in another, in this supreme exchange of love? |
12624 | For how should there be peace in any world on any other terms? |
12624 | Had they so utterly misunderstood and misinterpreted Christ that this is the natural outcome of His movement? |
12624 | Has any actual victory redounded to the Prince of Power of the Air? |
12624 | Has humanity been permanently affected by the resumption of it by God in the resurrection? |
12624 | Has the Anglican"sanity and reserve"in regard to the Blessed Virgin Mary saved the Anglican Church from the inroads of unitarianism and rationalism? |
12624 | Has there anything been found in the way of evidence, we ask, which reflects upon the truth of the story in S. Luke? |
12624 | Has there at any time been any official action of the Anglican Church to limit my acceptance of the historic Faith? |
12624 | Has there never been any true spiritual discipline, but only a certain superficial conformity to a spiritual rule? |
12624 | Have I not done as I should do? |
12624 | Have I only a collection of prejudices there where I supposed that I had a collection of settled truths? |
12624 | Have I settled a practice for myself to which I am subjecting the teaching of the Bible and the Church? |
12624 | Have mothers no longer any sense of the value of purity? |
12624 | Have they heard the message of the first Easter morning, the angelic announcement of the resurrection of Christ? |
12624 | Have we been cold to her, and inappreciative of her love? |
12624 | Have we felt that we have no need of her in the conduct of our lives? |
12624 | Have we mastered the technique of the Christian life sufficiently to be single- eyed and pure- hearted in our pursuit of life''s ends? |
12624 | Have we taken up the Cross to go after Him, or are we assuming that we can just as well drift along with the crowd of those who only look on? |
12624 | How are_ we_ affected? |
12624 | How can one love and serve a Jesus whom one has lost? |
12624 | How can there be peace for those who are in rebellion against God? |
12624 | How could he do this? |
12624 | How escape? |
12624 | How long did she live? |
12624 | How many of you, for example, make your confessions and communions with the frequency and regularity that your theory about the sacraments implies? |
12624 | How shall we attain it? |
12624 | How should your flesh be reduced to dust and ashes who, by the Son born of you, have delivered the human race from the corruption of death?" |
12624 | How? |
12624 | I have so often heard people say, when the practice of invocation of saints was urged: Why ask the saints? |
12624 | I wonder if we force our meaning on the Bible or if we are trying to find therein new stimulus to action? |
12624 | I wonder if we have got a religious practice which is settled or one that is continually expanding? |
12624 | I wonder if we have wholly got beyond that point of view? |
12624 | III Why should I any love, O Queen, but thee, If favor past a thankful love should breed? |
12624 | If he be God and wills goodness, why does He not execute goodness, use power to accomplish it?" |
12624 | If one asks:"What is likely to happen if one does not imitate this life, but prefers some more modern type of usefulness?" |
12624 | If two people find that they have blundered, are they to go on indefinitely suffering from the result of their blunder? |
12624 | If we ask:"Why hope?" |
12624 | In our self examination, in our approach to the sacrament of penance, we are compelled to ask ourselves, Am I in fact sorry for my sins? |
12624 | Is it a fact any more conceivable that the virgin Mother of God should be born in original sin than that she should be the victim of actual sin? |
12624 | Is it in Churches where devotion to our Lady is suppressed? |
12624 | Is it not possible for us to have our share in that pure insight of blessed Mary? |
12624 | Is it not precisely in those circles where the very virginity of our Lady is denied that the divinity of our Lord is denied also? |
12624 | Is it that He appears and disappears so strangely, not coming any longer to be with them in the old way, with the old familiar intercourse? |
12624 | Is not that an illuminating phrase when we think of our relation to our Lord? |
12624 | Is not the life that shuts out from itself the society of heaven pitifully impoverished? |
12624 | Is sanctity then, or the possibility of it, shut within the narrow limits of a poor life? |
12624 | Is there a right method? |
12624 | Is there any appreciable amount of quiet spontaneous giving which is known to no one? |
12624 | Is there any sense in which we can be said to be following our Lord on the Sorrowful Way? |
12624 | Is there no falling away, no compromise, there? |
12624 | Is there, in fact, some peculiar and limited form of Christianity to which I owe allegiance?" |
12624 | It came to those primitive congregations, you remember, to which S. Peter was writing;"Where is the promise of his coming? |
12624 | It is not at all surprising that in the end they drop religion altogether, as why should one keep on travelling a road that leads nowhere? |
12624 | It is often so, is it not? |
12624 | It is quite pointless in times of great social distress to ask passionately,"why does not God make a better world?" |
12624 | It is true, is it not? |
12624 | It is true, is it not? |
12624 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
12624 | Know ye not that I must be in my Father''s house? |
12624 | Know ye not that I must be in my Father''s house?" |
12624 | Love is a passion consuming her being-- what can the attendant circumstances matter? |
12624 | MARY: Ever I cried full piteously:"Lordings, what have ye i- brought? |
12624 | MARY:"I ask thee, Maudeleyn, where is that place,-- In plain or valley or in hill? |
12624 | Men look out on a world seething with unrest and filled with injustice, and they turn upon the Church and ask,"Why have you not changed all this? |
12624 | Naturally, one can not carry on an unsuccessful business, but need it be success by all means and to all extents? |
12624 | O my divine Son, is not this your opportunity, your"hour"? |
12624 | Of what energy? |
12624 | On the basis of our present effort can we, ought we, to have more than we have? |
12624 | Once more: is it not true that after a period of honest labour I do find results? |
12624 | One great trouble, is it not? |
12624 | One is often tempted to ask as one hears people talking of death:"Are these Christians? |
12624 | Or am I alert to see a contrast or a contradiction between my practice and the teaching of the Bible and the Church, if such exist? |
12624 | Or have they simply abandoned all responsibility that normally goes with being a mother? |
12624 | Our pressing question is, what difference has that made to us? |
12624 | PART TWO CHAPTER XII THE TEMPLE And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? |
12624 | PART TWO CHAPTER XV WHO IS MY MOTHER? |
12624 | Perhaps not all that I would like but all that I am justified in expecting from the energy I have spent? |
12624 | She would be with S. John as long as she lived, but can we think of her as living long? |
12624 | Should I let Him hangen there Let my Son alone then be? |
12624 | Should I see men mine own Son slay? |
12624 | Suppose when some pious soul comes to me and asks me if I will not pray for a sick child, or a friend at sea, I were to reply:"Why come to me? |
12624 | That gold and incense should be offered a King is clearly His royal right; but what has he to do with the bitterness of myrrh? |
12624 | That which S. Elizabeth spoke under divine impulse,--"Whence is this that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" |
12624 | The answer to our question is itself a perfectly simple one, as simple as would be the answer to the question:"Do you speak French?" |
12624 | The only question which is at all to the point is,"why has God not made_ me_ better?" |
12624 | The question which is becoming more urgent everywhere is, What are the women of the future to be,--the daughters of Eve, or the daughters of Mary? |
12624 | The question,"Must I do this?" |
12624 | Then why not give way now, to- night? |
12624 | This final surrender to the Father of a will that had never been separate from the Father,--what can we derive from all that? |
12624 | This is no doubt a unique vocation, but is it quite so far separated from ordinary Christian experience as we assume? |
12624 | This is the common case of the young whether boy or girl to- day, and the practical question is, Can they endure the isolation? |
12624 | Those few moments after the reception of our Incarnate Lord at the altar-- how do we habitually spend them? |
12624 | Thy head is closed with a brier, O why have men so done to Thee?" |
12624 | To the protest of parents that they are incompetent to conduct such training, the only possible reply is a blunt,"Whose fault is that?" |
12624 | To whom would Mary look? |
12624 | True, but is the adherence of the Church to its statements perfectly plain? |
12624 | WHO IS MY MOTHER? |
12624 | Was a new faith at any time introduced? |
12624 | Was it at all likely that the Jewish authorities having disposed of the leader in a dangerous movement would be content to let the followers go free? |
12624 | Was it then possible that she should be holden by death? |
12624 | Was that a light thing: Was it indeed so much less than the vocation of S. Joseph? |
12624 | We are back therefore where we started: What are our supreme ends? |
12624 | We feel, do we not? |
12624 | We know, do we not? |
12624 | We place ourselves in the group that surrounds our Lord when the soldiers, led by Judas, come, and ask ourselves shall I too run away? |
12624 | We tend, do we not? |
12624 | What did it mean, this resurrection of Jesus? |
12624 | What do you mean by this ceremony? |
12624 | What does He mean?" |
12624 | What does the Church teaching as to sanctity imply? |
12624 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
12624 | What in fact is it that you mean by worship?" |
12624 | What is the status of the priest? |
12624 | What is the trouble? |
12624 | What is there about her life that suggests weakness? |
12624 | What is there to appeal on the other side? |
12624 | What sort of a front is the church presenting to the world, what sort of moral influence is it exercising? |
12624 | What sort of character- development has so far been going on? |
12624 | What then do we mean by original sin? |
12624 | What to do? |
12624 | What voice can sing This mystery, or Cherub''s wing Lend from his golden stock a pen To write, how Heaven came down to men? |
12624 | What was S. Joseph''s attitude? |
12624 | What was to be done? |
12624 | When in response to their preaching men asked the question:"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" |
12624 | When one asks:"Why should I imitate this life which, however good in an abstract way, is not very harmonious with the ideals of society at present?" |
12624 | When such things are pointed out from the pulpit the"practical man"says:"What would become of the Church were it not for the rich and the successful?" |
12624 | When we ask what this congregation is, what is the answer? |
12624 | When we ask, why is there such a feeling? |
12624 | Where did she live? |
12624 | Where to- day is the Deity of our Lord defended most ardently and devotion to Him most wide spread? |
12624 | Who is shee that adorned with light, Makes the sunne her robe, At whose feete the queene of night Layes her changing globe? |
12624 | Whoe is shee that assends so high Next the heavenlye Kinge, Round about whome angells flie And her prayses singe? |
12624 | Why after Bethlehem, Egypt? |
12624 | Why after Gabriel, Herod? |
12624 | Why could they not talk about the Mission that has just been held, or the Quiet Day that is in prospect? |
12624 | Why do you keep this day? |
12624 | Why in this roundabout way ask me to pray? |
12624 | Why is this? |
12624 | Why not get a bigger notion of God than that of a mechanician running a machine, and think of Him as a Person dealing with persons? |
12624 | Why not go directly to God? |
12624 | Why not go directly to God?" |
12624 | Why not in an humble spirit observe how God does act? |
12624 | Why not pursue the same method in religion? |
12624 | Why not think of it as setting the seal of God''s approval upon our accomplishment of His will and purpose for us? |
12624 | Why not? |
12624 | Why reject as incredible the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection? |
12624 | Why start by saying,"Miracles do not happen?" |
12624 | Why then should it not ensure spiritual bankruptcy? |
12624 | Why was this? |
12624 | With this conception of power in mind men are continually asking:"Why does not God do this or that? |
12624 | Would not a great love draw her to another world and the presence of her triumphant Son? |
12624 | Would they not rather seek to wipe out the last traces of the movement in blood? |
12624 | and who are my brethren? |
12624 | or why throw about the ceremony the suggestions of a sacrament? |
12624 | that the coming of the child brought enrichment into the life of its parents? |
