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?
