One Of the .nost interesting biographies I have ever read is "S'orrew Built A Bridge' sby Katherine Burton. It is the life story of Rpse Hawthorne, daughter of the , great American author,Nathaniel Hawthorne. : • • Rose, took the sorrow of her - ow,n domestic life ai she.t prig took the;threats of • pvert 3 and want.. •spiritual en - certainty and mental ang>rtisit andwith these forces she corn.structed. a . great --bridge between the few passing years ofthis earthly .life and •the unending eternit}'' of God's loving presence. The tides-, and swirling currents of human misery challenged -her, -'but what did: she do?' She built that "bridge: of dedicated service to the poor who suffered with in- curable cancer. Attotirer-- - Alphonso she -„,founded her _ own order' of nursing Dominican Nuns. nuns who live and work.., suffer and pray to help souls cross over •that ••great bridge -into B everlasting peace and jeiy-and happiness. . Now in the supernatural order the -great bridge builder 'is Our Lord ''Jesti'S--Christ Himself. He is the one who made it possible for us to:pass, front -this: vale of tears and sorrow, of suffering and sin, into the glory and light and joy of the blessed vision of God in heaven. - We must tt.ever forget. that God • did .not `crake . the problem of suffering. It was not in His plait of creatio, at all. Like death. - and ignorance, sorrowand suf- fering are the ylirect results'of the sin.of our ptst parents_ : When • Christ came to `"redeem tis •He. did not take. away suffering. . 13e.rnade it a Part of His own life and the life of Htis own Mother. He put something olivine into disappointment, loneliness,. failures, sorrow arid. even death. He changed a curse -into abiessin.g and solved the. „problem of suffering' by nailing it to His own cross and -raising it in victory on.the hill ofealvary. • • It is all so clear in the Bible. On the first -°Easter Sunday afternoon two disciples of Our. Lord left Jerusalem by separate gates' and joined each other on the way to the, jittle village of E:mmaus.. Their hearts were gripped by -fear. the-fear.that .you and I know so well when all seems . lost. They were running away from disgrace and -defeat. • • Suddenly a stranger joined --them from a side road and TAKESDISCIPLIN;E Several 'years ago. when iii::• Washington, DC I visited the National Art Gallery which I ' think is the best ' on this • abcontinent. It's a. , large_ building, several storeys high and filled with the painting of ° the masters both • old and ., modern. Wanting to See all I could in - .-the short time I had, I flew through the gallery •trying to absorb everything, pausing only for a moment or so in, , front of a picture that `hap- • :paned to catch my :attention.. . by its bright colors or unusual • compsoition. How disappointing it was.to • return home and trying to recall what • I .had seen, remembered only a blur of. colors with the exception of one or two paintings of which I retained a faint impression. A• year or two later I went ' back to Wasl'iington:and this tiine when I returned to the gallery with one brief hour to •' -spend, - I went to .only one : room containing the works of a favorite artist and viewed the paint'imgs on just one wall. . 'of that room.: On this occasion when I left, the- building I carried away with•rrie a:distinct impression of several beautiful pictures into which• the genius -artist had put the essence of his soul And 1 was greatly benefitted. It . strikes me •that life is often like that. Many- rush • 'through 'neve:really ex periencing the finer:creeper. beautiful things. They are attracted only by 'bright • flashes of color. the jangling. 'clashing noise. They press on to new thrills and new stimuli, never taking the time: that . '....their wiser frieitds.,do.to let. • • 2 i some of the Creator's beauty, calmness, peace and .quiet enter their lives. •It's -'much 'easier to whirl through life with youreyes on. the .;'shallow -spectacle of the Montent-than it is to learn to appreciate the goodthings of Life. The ' latter takes discipline but it `leads our thoughts closer to God: asked them why they were so_ disturbed. They told'him why and here was the° stranger's response - "O foolish ones and.' slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have ap5ke .Did not Christ'heveto stiffer these' things before'- entering into His glory?". And beginning with Moses and all the •prophets He .in- ter.preted to then: in all the Scriptures the things referrtngTo•Iimself. Why did. Hebave to?Because there was rto other way to convince us of the malice of sin. . It was St. Paul who said, ". whatever is• true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent . -. think of .th,ese.-.things." Paul, knew the -human° mind - and character very well. He suggests we think of all things that are praiseworthy and as these -are` allowed to dwell in our ...thoughts, they cannot help but transform us into their likeness. F.G. •Burroughs put it this way: .• Think .noble thoughts if you would noble be Pure thoughts'..Wit' make a heart ofaturity; Kind "thoughts will make you good and glad thoughts gay,. For like your thoughts your life.w ill. be alway. • Whate er is true and reverend and just. Think o'er these things, and' be1ike theist you must: Of good report, .• of lovely things and pure, .. • • Think. -and your mind such nectar shalI secure. Think much of God and you shall like Hirci be. ' In tv'ords of faith and hope and charity • Protect, His Image ' from all fo ilabuse, . • And keep thetem+ple'hol.} for His use. THIS SUNDAY• 8 P.M.
