2 Every Catholic is Called to Catholic Action! Let the Vicars of Christ Tell You of Its Imptance! Spreading Your Faith Through Pamphlets and Leaflets is a Wonderful Fm of Catholic Action! Pope Gregy XVI - This is indeed the time when the Christian army must unite in the face of the devil s fury. But also it is the time to see to it that the faithful unite themselves in this holy association to the priests who are weeping, praying and labing f the Faith... Pope Pius IX - (Vatican Council) Fulfilling, therefe, the duty of Our supreme pastal office, We beseech, through the Heart of Jesus Christ, all the faithful... and We der them in the Name of God our Savi, to employ their care and labs to remove and eliminate these errs from the Holy Church and to spread abroad the light of the most pure Faith. Pope Leo XIII - It is no longer that Catholics have to stem the distant trent of unbelievers. It is now a matter of protecting and developing the Faith in their own country... they have the power and duty to have recourse to spiritual weapons......it should be bne earnestly in mind that in propagating Christian truth, and warding off errs, the zeal of the laity should, as far as possible, be brought actively into play. Pope St. Pius X - Catholic Action... by proposing to reste all things in Christ, becomes a real apostolate f the hon and gly of Christ Himself. Pope Benedict XV - It is not enough f clergy and laymen who are friends of Catholic Action to go to the masses and ganize them into groups. They must also imbue them deeply with the truths of the Catholic Faith, so that everyone knows his rights and duties and lives accdingly. Pope Pius XI - Catholic Action consists not merely in the pursuit of personal holiness, which is, however, befe all others, its first and greatest end, but it also consists of a true apostolate in which Catholics of every social class participate, coming thus to be united in thought and action... All those who participate in Catholic Action and help in the development can do so only by prayer, wk, and self-dedication. It is clear that they have no other intention purpose and a me noble one cannot be imagined than to prepare souls to receive the Ld and to extend me each day the kingdom of God, in a wd, to reste all things in Christ. The purpose of Catholic Action is therefe very noble, since it is the same as that of the Church, accding to the principle: The peace of Christ in the reign of Christ; Pax Christi in regno Christi. Catholic Action is not something new it was Jesus Christ Himself Who laid the first foundation of Catholic Action, by choosing and educating the Apostles and disciples and fellow wkers in His divine apostolate... Pope Pius XII - To you, dear sons and daughters of Catholic Action, who have made it your motto to do and to suffer hard things as Christians and as Romans, to you, Our fatherly affection, Our thanks, and Our praise. Thus prepared, trained, and united, the members of Catholic Action will press fward as apostles into every field of society in all directions, wherever there are souls to conquer f Christ, wherever there is a center meeting-ground of individual collective life, over which Christ Our Ld must reign. Yet, when the Son of man comes, will He find, think you, faith on the earth? (Luke 18:6) What part are you playing in the vast field of Catholic Action? 2 Behold Thy Mother Subscription - A Family Gift Behold Thy Mother is published three times a year by the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Ghost.

9 Catholics have a Mal Obligation of Voting I wonder how many of our American citizens, befe casting their ballot in an election, say a prayer that God will guide them to make a wise choice, and that truly good men will be elected. If our citizens did say such a prayer, I feel sure we should have a far greater number of good officials to guide our nation. Nowadays, not only the welfare of America, but the welfare of the wld demands that our government be administered by men of integrity, prudence, initiative, and especially unselfish devotion to their fellow men. And so, our minds and hearts should often be raised to God in humble petition that He will help us to choose f posts of public authity good honest men who will be able to reste peace and prosperity to our country and to the wld.
