F E A R 
"When I was a child, I spoke' 

as a child, I f e l t as a child, I 
thought as a child." ( I Cor. 13: 
11) When I was a child, I feared 
as children f e a r . "Now t h a t I 
have become a man, I have p u t 
away the things of a child." 
{ibid.) I have put way childish 
f e a r s , b u t I have not p u t away 
fear.. F e a r is p a r t of me. I t is 
p a r t of the human machine. 
Philosophers list it under human 
passions. I cannot cast out f e a r 
any more than I can cast out 
love. Love, the passion of p u r -
suit, and f e a r , the passion of es-
cape, a r e like the h e a r t and 
lungs standard equipment f o r 
mortals. F e a r does not make us 
abnormal. We would be abnor-
mal without it. Do not be a f r a i d 
because you a r e a f r a i d of the 
atom bomb. I t is something t h a t 
normal and wise men f e a r . But 
I think it should not be your first 
f e a r . The first f e a r of Christians 
is not f o r survival, b u t f o r sal-
vation. Regarding your f e a r s I 
think these two questions, a r e 
i m p o r t a n t : What things do you 
f e a r most? How desperate a r e 
your f e a r s ? 

Human passions a r e problem 
property. They a r e an asset and 
a liability. The animal f e a r s and 

controls his f e a r by instinct. 
Man f e a r s and is expected to 
control his f e a r by his mind. 
F e a r can become so g r e a t t h a t it 
sweeps away the controls of t h e 
mind, t e a r s down t h e very walls 
of reason, and t h e r e is a s w i f t 
flight f r o m t h e world of reality 
through the broken gates of the 
mind. P r a y f o r t h e mentally ill, 
and pray t h a t a cold ruthless 
world tha,t destroys so many 
minds will learn mercy and be 
kind. 

F e a r is t h e passion of flight, 
and how violent t h e passion and 
how headlong the flight depends 
upon t h e size of the evil in itself 
or in our minds. The loss of a 
mother is seen as an immeasur-
able evil by the little boy, who 
cannot imagine his room, his 
house, his world without his 
mother. He cannot imagine play-
ing without mother to come 
home to, or praying without 
mother to s t r a i g h t e n him out 
when he mixes up his Our F a -
t h e r with his Hail Mary. The 
boy become a man still sees the 
loss of mother as evil, b u t not 
the immeasurable evil it once 
was. F o r now his world has 
grown larger. His room is now 

0 • shared with another who is

mother to h i s children, his house 
is filled w i t h t h e r u n n i n g of t h e i r 
l a u g h t e r and t h e t r i p p i n g of 
t h e i r p r a y e r s . His world is filled 
w i t h people, places, and t h i n g s — 
and mother, and he sees death 
differently now. H i s love has not 
altered, b u t his f e a r is changed, 
f o r his vision of God and heaven 
have grown too. 

Why do you f e a r ? Your f e a r s 
will help you determine your 
values. If you f e a r t h e loss of 
health, money, f r i e n d s , beauty 
more t h a n t h e loss of God, then 
God has taken second place in 
your life, and t h e r e is disorder 
a t t h e h e a r t of t h e m a t t e r . If 
your first f e a r is sin and t h e loss 
of grace then you a r e a Chris-
tian. Why do you f e a r ? T h a t 
question helps you to answer a 
more i m p o r t a n t one: W h a t do 
you love? All of us do not f e a r 
t h e same things, f o r all of us do 
not love t h e same t h i n g s . Your 
f e a r s a r e the other side of your 
loves. The f e a r s of mothers a r e 
f o r t h e i r children. A t five t h e y 
a r e a f r a i d they'll fall, a t fifteen 
t h e y a r e a f r a i d they'll fall in love 
too soon, at twenty-five or f o r t y -
five they a r e a f r a i d they'll fall 
into sin. Soldiers f e a r f o r t h e i r 
lives f o r t h e y a r e young and 
t h e i r lives a r e dear- to them. 
S a i n t s f e a r sin. They love God 

so much they f e a r to lose him 
even f o r an i n s t a n t . The passion 
of f e a r sleeps until t h e danger is 
imminent. A m o t h e r ' s passion of 
f e a r b u r n s b r i g h t when t h e n i g h t 
hours lengthen and h e r girl h a s 
not r e t u r n e d f r o m t h e dance. T h e 
soldier's f e a r b u r s t s into flame 
when t h e battle flares and t h e 
a i r - i s filled with s w i f t hot steel. 
F e a r i s a movement of fleeing, 
and all w i t h i n flees as he ad-
vances t o w a r d t h e danger of 
death, and t h e g r e a t e r t h e f e a r 
t h e nobler his courage. Wise 
men f e a r f o r themselves, a f r a i d 
of t h e i r weaknesses and t h e 
t h r e a t of loss in them, t h e loss of 
esteem, of honor, of self-respect. 
These a r e more valuable t h a n 
silver or success, and a wise b u t 
weak man f e a r s f o r them. 

F e a r is not evil, no more t h a n 
love is evil, or h u n g e r or t h i r s t . 
F e a r is h u m a n . F e a r can lead us 
to good, and long ago God in-
spired t h e words, " T h e f e a r of 
t h e Lord is t h e beginning of wis-
dom." (Prov. 1 : 7 ) . In one of 
his letters John t h e Apostle 
wrote, " H e who f e a r s is not per-
fected in love. T h e r e is no f e a r 
in love; b u t p e r f e c t love casts 
out." ( 1 John 4 : 1 8 ) . H e means 
t h a t t h e f e a r s of s a i n t s a r e not 
t h e f e a r s of earthly men. The 
man who has p e r f e c t Christian 



FEAR 7 
love sees one t h i n g as supremely 
evil, t h e loss of God. Your loves 
determine your f e a r s . Listen to 
St. P a u l : "Who shall s e p a r a t e 
us f r o m the love of C h r i s t ? Shall 
tribulation, or distress,, or perse-
cution, or hunger, or nakedness, 
or danger, or t h e sword? (Rom. 
8 : 3 5 ) . Tribulation, distress, 
h u n g e r , nakedness, t h e sword— 
these a r e t h i n g s t h a t men f e a r . 
To love "Christ like P a u l is to 
cast out t h e f e a r . And w h a t of 
t h e little people who f e a r to be 
saints and m a r t y r s ? If p e r f e c t 
love casts out f e a r , surely a l i t t l e 
love will keep f e a r f r o m consum-
i n g us. " L e t us t h e r e f o r e love, 
because God first loved us." (1 
John 4 : 1 9 ) . Let us make a be-
g i n n i n g of love, t h a t we may be 
a little less a f r a i d . 
_ Since f e a r is p a r t of man, 

J e s u s met i t in t h e men He knew. 
H e accepted f e a r as a reality, 
and in H i s p r e a c h i n g H e strove 
to give i t direction and control. 
He told us what to f e a r . He said, 
"Do not be a f r a i d of those who 
kill t h e body, b u t cannot kill t h e 
soul. . . A r e not two sparrows 
sold f o r a f a r t h i n g ? And yet not 
one of them will fall t o t h e 
ground w i t h o u t your F a t h e r ' s 
leave. B u t as f o r you, t h e very 
h a i r s of your head a r e n u m b e r -
ed, T h e r e f o r e , do not be a f r a i d ; 

you a r e of more value t h a n m a n y 
s p a r r o w s . " ( M a t t h e w 10:28-31) 
How t h o u g h t f u l of t h e Son of 
God ! How kind of C h r i s t t o 
compare us to t h e birds, t h a t 
each t i m e we see a s p a r r o w we 
m i g h t be reminded of h i s words 
and be l i f t e d up by f a i t h in 
them. We a r e w o r t h more t o 
God t h a n many sparrows. T h e 
very h a i r s of our head a r e n u m -
bered. How o f t e n do we f e a r 
t h a t we do not really m a t t e r t o 
man or God? The f e a r t h a t we 
a r e imperceptible even in t h e 
eyes of God in t h e v a s t f o g of 
men. I t is a f r i g h t e n i n g 
t h o u g h t t h a t we have no value 
to anyone, t h a t we a r e n o t h i n g 
more t h a n a name in t h e phone 
book, a n u m b e r in a census, as 
little as a s p a r r o w and as un-
noticed. If even t h a t f r i g h t as-
sails you, remember t h e words of 
Our Lord, "Do not be a f r a i d . T h e 
very h a i r s of your head a r e 
numbered." 

A t times t h e world around is 
inhospitable and hostile, t h e 
world of h u r r i c a n e and flood and 
tidal wave, t h e world of auto 
accidents and plane crashes, of 
polio and cancer and t h e atom 
bomb. T h e r e a r e a thousand 
t h i n g s t o f e a r in our world, and 
only t h e fool has said in his 
h e a r t , " T h e r e is nothing to 



8 FAITH AND THE HEART OF MAN 
f e a r . " Wise men a r e a f r a i d of 
t h e f u t u r e , and C h r i s t seems t o 
be asleep. He seemed t o be asleep 
t h a t n i g h t long ago when t h e 
sea was hostile w i t h wind and 
storm. " T h e r e arose - a g r e a t 
squall, and t h e waves were beat-
ing into t h e boat, so t h a t t h e 
boat was now filling. And He 
Himself was in t h e s t e r n of t h e 
boat, on t h e cushion, asleep. And 
they woke Him and said to Him. 
"Master, does i t not concern 
thee, we a r e perishing. . . Then 
He arose and rebuked t h e wind 
and the r a g i n g of t h e w a t e r ; and 
t h e y ceased, and t h e r e came a 
g r e a t calm. And He said to them, 
'Where is your f a i t h ? ' " When 
n a t u r e or man t u r n hostile t h e r e 
is t h e sudden u p s u r g e of f e a r in 
us, t h e violent passion to escape, 
and t h e impassioned plea, p r a y -
er, complaint to Christ, " i s it no 
concern of yours, we a r e perish-
i n g ! " In t h e midst of t h e panic 
p e r f e c t love casts out f e a r , b u t 
so f e w have p e r f e c t love. Above 
the wind and storm of f e a r again 
t h e voice of Christ is heard, 
" W h e r e is your f a i t h . F e a r not 
them t h a t kill t h e body and have 
n o t h i n g more t h a t they can do." 

T h i s is my first and g r e a t e s t 
f e a r , t h e f e a r f o r my soul. This 
is a f e a r deep within me, as ele-
mental as h u n g e r or t h e longing 

to live. This f e a r is seen when 
man lives on h u m a n level or t r i e s 
to. When one lives on purely 
animal level he may not see it, or, 
if he sees it, call it a m i r a g e . A 
t h i n k i n g man is concerned w i t h 
t h e i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of t h i s anxiety 
within himself. H e is concerned 
with t h e question of his destiny, 
if only because so many good 
men b e f o r e him have been anx-
ious about it. T h e man who p u t s 
his f a i t h in C h r i s t has a f a r 
g r e a t e r reason. When J e s u s told 
us not to f e a r t h e m t h a t kill t h e 
body, He added, " R a t h e r f e a r 
Him t h a t can destroy both body 
and soul in Hell."'. ( M a t t h e w 
10:28) The C h r i s t i a n ' s f e a r is 
not panic, b u t a deep anxiety 
within. I t is so bound to his na-
t u r e as to be p a r t of it, a con-
dition of i t s existence. H e can-
not escape it. T h e f e a r of t h e 
unknown is linked to t h e f e a r of 
the known, t h e world he lives in, 
in which he m u s t save h i s soul. 
He is anxious lest his soul's life 
be crushed o u t in t h e world, 
anxious lest t h e world f o r c e it-
self between his soul and God 
and effect t h e g r e a t divorce, t h e 
disastrous endless separation 
t h a t is Hell. In t h a t anxiety he 
s t r a i n s again to catch t h e sound 
of t h e voice of Christ in answer 
to t h e deep f e a r within h i s h e a r t , 



FEAR 9 
and t h e n i t comes across t h e 
world f r o m t h e Supper Room: 
" T a k e courage, I have overcome 
t h e world. F a t h e r , I p r a y f o r 
t h e m . . . f o r those whom thou 

h a s t given me, because they a r e 
thine. . . I do not p r a y t h a t thou 
t a k e them out of t h e world, b u t 
t h a t thou keep t h e m f r o m evil." 
(John 16:33; 17 p a s s i m ) 

Why a r e you a f r a i d ? 



I know of no loneliness like 
the loneliness of a man hanging 
on a cross between the e a r t h and 
the sky "stripped and bleeding 
and alone." I know no prayer in 
all t h e history so lonely as t h e 
cry, "My God, my God, why h a s t 
thou forsaken m e ? " (Matthew 
27:46) What loneliness to hear, 
as you die, the t a u n t s of your 
country-men, "If thou a r t the 
Son of God, come down from" t h e 
cross." (Matthew 27:40) "Let 
him save himself, if he is the 
Christ, the chosen one of God." 
(Luke 23:35) " H e saved others, 
himself he cannot save." 

There is a loneliness like it, 
now t h a t I remember. I t is the 
loneliness of Jesus in t h e olive 
garden t h a t n i g h t with only the 
s o f t shadows .cast by the moon 
as companions—and sleeping dis-
ciples; the loneliness of the plea, 
" F a t h e r , if it is possible, let this 
cup pass away, yet not as I will, 
but as thou wiliest"; (Matthew 
26:39) t h e loneliness of t h e 
hoarse whisper of Jesus, "My 
soul is sad, even unto death"; 
(26:38) the loneliness of the 
mental anguish t h a t made Jesus 
sweat blood; the loneliness of the 
complaint to his disciples, "Could 
you not watch one hour with 

m e ? " (26:40) This was t h e first 
surge of the flood of loneliness 
of the Son of God; on the cross 
they pierced his hands and f e e t ; 
in the garden his soul was pierc-
ed—-by our sins. 

Loneliness is the emptiness of 
the heart, the hunger of love. 
Like the h e a r t of man, the h e a r t 
of Christ was capable of loneli-
ness. His h e a r t could be filled 
with the companionship of his 
F a t h e r in heaven and of his 
brethren on earth. Always it was 
overflowing with the joy of those 
who behold God in man and in 
things, and more—the joy of the 
Son of God, who beheld always 
the infinite beauty of the F a t h e r . 
On t h a t n i g h t and t h a t day, in 
the garden and on the cross, t h e 
sin of t h e world choked oif the 
joy of the vision of God, and the 
h e a r t of i e s u s was as lonely as a 
man. Since t h a t n i g h t and t h a t 
day the loneliness of man has 
taken on a meaning. Now we 
have a reason f o r accepting lone-
liness, and this is i t : the h e a i i 
of the Son of God was lonely." 
God, w h a made the human h e a r t 
with the burden of loneliness, 
bore t h a t burden himself, t h a t 
we might believe t h a t it was 
given to us not in harshness b u t 



LONELINESS 11 
in kindness, t h a t we m i g h t know 
t h a t we a r e lonely on e a r t h be-
cause e a r t h is too little to fill our 
h e a r t s , t h a t we m i g h t see t h a t 
t h e deep loneliness of t h e h e a r t 
is a h u n g e r f o r God, t h a t we 
m i g h t pray, "Thou h a s t made u s 
f o r thyself, 0 God, and our 
h e a r t s a r e lonely till they find 
companionship with thee." 

T h e r e is loneliness very much 
like to Christ's, t h e lovely loneli-
ness of Mary. She missed him 
when he l e f t a t twelve and was 
lost f o r t h r e e days. She missed 
him when he set out a t t h i r t y to 
begin his mission. B u t t h a t lone-
liness was bearable, f o r she 
would see him once in a while. 
They would meet a t t h e m a r r i a g e 
f e a s t a t Cana, or a t t h e lake 
town of Capharnaum. Then sud-
denly came t h e loneliness of t h e 
cross, t h e t h r e e long lonely 
hours, when h e r h e a r t broke and 
h e r a r m s yearned to hold him. 
W h a t loneliness filled h e r when 
he said; "Woman, behold t h y 
son," (John 19:26) and she knew 
he was giving h e r John f o r a son 
because he was going away. How 
lonely was Mary when she saw 
t h e stone roll across t h e tomb 
and t h e darkness embrace h e r 
son! 

The m e a s u r e of loneliness is 
love, and since t h e r e was no love 

like t h e love of Christ f o r men, 
t h e r e is no loneliness like His. 
The measure of love is goodness, 
and none was so good as t h e sin-
less Christ. Never was t h e r e a 
son like Jesus, and never was a 
son missed as Mary missed 
Jesus. B u t why do I recall these 
t h i n g s today. We a r e approach-
i n g Christmas, not Good F r i d a y ! 
Is it not out of season to speak 
of loneliness? T h i s is t h e season 
of companionship. I t will be out 
of season to speak of loneliness 
when t h e r e is no more, t h a t is, in 
heaven. F o r some Christmas is 
t h e season of supreme loneliness, 
f o r t h e sound of C h r i s t m a s bells 
and t h e f r a g r a n c e of holly can do 
s t r a n g e t h i n g s to t h e h e a r t . I 
speak of t h e loneliness of J e s u s 
and Mary because we a r e inclin-
ed to t h i n k of our own loneliness 
first. T h a t is understandable f o r 
we t h i n k of our own pain first 
because it is ours. If you a r e 
lonely a t Christmas, remember 
t h e loneliness of J e s u s and Mary. 
If you a r e lonely, p u t on your 
h a t and coat and t a k e a walk to 
the n e a r e s t hospital, or t h e near-
est orphanage, or t h e n e a r e s t 
cemetery, and you will see t h a t 
many a r e lonely. If your Christ-
mas is filled with t h e companion-
ship of children's l a u g h t e r and 
p a r e n t ' s love and f r i e n d s ' affec-

tion, do n o t f o r g e t t h e childless 
parents, t h e parentless children, 
and the solitary s t r a n g e r in your 
midst-, or t h e boys who a r e 
s t r a n g e r s in Korea. 

Widow " is a lonely word. 
Orphan is a lonely word. How 
deep t h e loneliness only widows 
and orphans know. If widows 
and orphans alone were lonely, 
t h e r e would be enough loneliness 
in .our w a r r i n g world, f o r they 
a r e many. B u t n o ! I have seen 
t h e loneliness of t h e old in t h e 
homes f o r t h e aged, as, m o t h e r s 
spoke of children who never 
came to see them. I have seen 
loneliness in mental institutions, 
where t h e look in men's eyes sad-
dens you m o r e t h a n t h e b a r s on 
t h e windows. I have seen t h e 
loneliness of t h e children of di-
vorces, t h e i r little minds mixed 
up with f e a r and confusion. B u t 
loneliness is not limited to these. 
I t knocks on t h e door of every 
h u m a n h e a r t . Sometimes i t 
surges up within you without 
a p p a r e n t reason. You a r e s u r -
rounded by f a m i l y and f r i e n d s 
and laughter, and suddenly t h e r e 
is a sense of loneliness. T h e r e is 
a loneliness t h a t comes t o actors 
a f t e r applause, loneliness t h a t 
comes to people a f t e r a p a r t y , 
loneliness t h a t comes to s i n n e r s 
a f t e r a sin. 

HEART OF MAN 
Since loneliness is as much a 

p a r t of t h e h u m a n h e a r t as 
blood, we should make some seri-
ous effort a t i n t e r p r e t i n g i t . 
Sooner or later in life every m a n 
"awakens to t h e consciousness of 
his unavoidable, u l t i m a t e loneli-
ness." (R. Allers, The Psych-
ology of Character p. 299) 
W h e t h e r he is m a r r i e d or 
single, practical or poetic, 
prominent or plain, rich or 
ragged, he comes to recognize 
" h i s final dependence upon him-
self." (Ibid.) Loneliness is an es-
sential condition of t h e h u m a n 
h e a r t . You can't get on w i t h o u t 
it. In reverse it becomes one of 
t h e drives of our n a t u r e , t h a t 
makes us r u n a f t e r someone or 
something t h a t we hope will fill 
t h e emptiness. T h e r e is t h e es-
cape t h a t sends a chill t h r o u g h 
us every t i m e we read it, t h e es-
cape of self-destruction. T h e 
awesome t h o u g h t i s : w h a t do 
they escape t o ! T h e r e is t h e es-
cape, or—'better—the s u r r e n d e r , 
in t h e abnormal behavior of t h e 
recluse who cuts himself off f r o m 
t h e community. Escape is sought 
in alcohol, b u t when t h e aleohol 
leaves t h e body t h e r e r e t u r n s a 
new and g r e a t e r loneliness to t h e 
mind. Some c o n f u s e t h e loneli-
ness of t h e h e a r t with t h e h u n g -

sex excesses, b u t a f t e r t h e sin 
comes t h e s t r a n g e loneliness of 
t h e sense of guilt. Some com-
pensate f o r loneliness by domi-
n e e r i n g and antagonistic a t t i -
tudes, some by feverish activity, 
by working or playing a t t h e 
pace t h a t kills, some by i n s a t i -
able greed, some by applause, or 
adulation, or i n f a t u a t i o n . I 
t h i n k t h e r e is a fallacy common 
to all these escapes, t h e illusion 
t h a t t h e inner condition of t h e 
human h e a r t can be altered by 
something outside. it. I t ' s like 
c u r i n g cancer of t h e blood w i t h 
cold cream. 

Loneliness is not t h e same 
t h i n g as being alone. I remem-
ber a house on t h e Aventine Hill 
in Rome t h a t b e a r s above t h e 
door t h e i n s c r i p t i o n : 0 B e a t a 
Solitudo—0 Sola Beatitudo, 0 
Blessed Aloneness — The Only 
Blessedness. Solitude has been 
sought by m a n as f a r back as 
Buddha, and as recently as 
Thomas Mer.ton. T h e T r a p p i s t s 
live solitude. They do not even 
speak. Consecrated women in 
t h e Carmelite convents across 
t h e world live solitude. These 
men and women seek aloneness; 
they do not seek loneliness. I t 
is t h e deep loneliness within 
them t h a t drives them into mon-
asteries and convents. They in-

t e r p r e t i t a r i g h t . They see i t as 
a depth too deep f o r any mortal 
to fill, as a hole in t h e h e a r t cut 
to t h e size of God, t h e infinite 
depth of t h e divine. A u g u s t i n e 
f e l t it when h e wrote, "Thou 
h a s t made us f o r thyself, O God, 
and our h e a r t s a r e restless until 
they find r e s t in thee." T h i s is 
the i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of loneliness. 
Our h e a r t s must be lonely on 
e a r t h because they were made 
f o r heaven. God made our h e a r t s 
lonely because he made them 
f o r Himself. 

" B u t , " you say, " F a t h e r , 
you've scotched t h e snake, not 
killed it. We will accept t h e 
proposition t h a t God is t h e an-
swer to our elemental loneliness, 
but t h e problem is with t h e h e r e 
and now. A religion t h a t post-
pones all its solutions to t h e 
h e r e a f t e r may find itself devour-
ed by a philosophy t h a t deals 
with bread and blood in t h e 
h e r e and now." I confess t h a t 
sounds like a reasonable objec-
tion b u t u n d e r n e a t h it, I believe, 
t h e r e is a misunderstanding., I 
think t h a t God recognized b e t t e r 
t h a n my objector t h a t t h e prob-
lem is with t h e h e r e and now. 
T h a t ' s why t h e r e was an Incar-
nation. The Son of God came 
into t h e h e r e and now t o do 
something about it. F o r t h a t 



14 FAITH AND THE 
reason I began these r e m a r k s by 
talking about t h e loneliness of 
Jesus. I t h i n k t h a t h u m a n loneli-
ness is a s p i r i t u a l condition, and 
t h a t i t becomes reasonably bear-
able by a spiritual life. I be-
lieve t h a t Christ came to give 
us t h a t life. He said, " I came 
t h a t they may have life, and have 
it more abundantly."- (John 
10:10) H e meant t h e divine l i f e 
of grace by which a man is able 
to b e a r .loneliness, f e a r , and all 
t h e shadows of t h e valley of 
death without t h e artificial es-
capes of superficial stuff. I be-
lieve f u r t h e r t h a t t h i s life t h a t 
J e s u s promised is not something 

HEART OF MAN 
vague and a b s t r u s e like t h e will 
to win, respectability, or middle-
class morality. I believe it is an 
i n t i m a t e personal relationship 
with t h e living Christ, an I and 
thou relationship. J e s u s prom-
ised, " I will not leave you orph-
a n s ; I will come to you . . . you 
will know t h a t I am in t h e F a -
ther, and you in me, and I in 
you . . . Abide in me . . . Abide in 
my love." (John 14:15 passim) 

W h a t p r a y e r can I p r a y f o r 
t h e lonely h e a r t of t h e world? 
The p r a y e r of another J o h n : 

' "Come, Lord J e s u s ! " (Apoc. 
22:20) Come! 



Love, does a lot of damage and 
a lot of repair. I t is a t once t h e 
most constructive energy in the 
world and t h e most destructive. 
People die f o r love and kill f o r it. 
I t drivés' men to drink, and they 
have been known to starve f o r it. 
Women dress f o r love or p u t on 
sack-cloth f o r it. You find i t in 
the f u n n y fuzzy people in Ug-
anda and in t h e p r e t t y precious 
people in P a r i s , in abbeys and in 
alehouses. So much folly is per-
petrated in its name t h a t it is 
talked of as sort of blindness, 
and so many wondrous deeds a r e 
wrought by it t h a t it seems to 
give a sort of .supersight. I t is a t 
once the most perplexing and 
profound, disturbing, baffling, 
wonderful and exciting problem 
of man. Like t h e p i t u i t a r y 
gland,; we may not know much 
about it, but it does a lot to us. 

There must be a reason why 
love is the root of' so much mis-
ery and so much ecstasy, and t h e 
reason must be in man r a t h e r 
than outside him, because t h e 
misery and ecstasy a r e prover-
bially independent of how much 
you have or how little. Since lové 
is in a person w 3 may get some 
light on it by seeing what a per-
son is. We often call a person an 

individual, and t h a t tells us 
more. A person is separate f r o m 
others and self-enclosed. Second-
ly, a person is human, t h a t is 
different f r o m an animal, differ-
ent because " a person has t h e 
power to think and choose freely. 
These a r e spiritual powers and 
reside in the spiritual p a r t of a 
man, his soul. The other p a r t of 
a person is his body, and he is 
t h e r e f o r e a composite of m a t t e r 
and spirit. The p a r t s of a person 
do not operate separately and 
singly like t h e radio and tele-
vision in your combination-set. 
R a t h e r are t h e i r actions inter-
locked like light and heat in your 
electric bulb. Body and soul in-
fluence each other mutually. 
People have ulcers of the stom-
ach because they have worries in 
their minds. I t - is t h e t h i r d 
thing about a person t h a t gives 
rise to the real problem. He ex-
periences in himself a condition 
of conflict between m a t t e r and 
spirit. Paul t h e Apostle was no 
exception. He wrote, " I see an-
other law in my members, war-
r i n g against t h e law of my 
mind."- (Romans 7:23) And a t 
another time, "The flesh lusts 
against the spirit, and t h e spirit 
against t h e flesh, f o r these a r e 



16 FAITH AND THE 
opposed to each o t h e r . " (Gala-1 
t i a n s 5 : 1 7 ) . 

I am s u r e you will find these 
t h i n g s confirmed by your own ex-
perience. T h e r e a r e certain ex-
periences a r i s i n g out of t h e f a c t 
t h a t we a r e self-enclosed and 
separate. Have you f o u n d i t 
difficult to talk to another about 
yourself ? I do not mean t h e s u r -
f a c e c h a t t e r about w h e r e you 
have your h a i r done, or your golf 
score, b u t your inner self. Do 
you find i t difficult t o tell t h e 
whole story of yourself to your 
confessor, your doctor, or your 
w i f e ? And when you have tried, 
do you have t h e uneasy feeling 
t h a t you really have not got all 
of yourself across t o t h e other, 
like a 'phone conversation over 
a poor connection?' You a r e ex-
periencing your solitariness, t h e 
reality t h a t as a person you a r e 
set a p a r t f r o m everyone else. I 
am sure, secondly, t h a t you have 
had experiences like t h e s e : t u r n -
i n g pale at h e a r i n g bad news, 
finding i t impossible to r e s t r a i n 
a t e a r , blushing a g a i n s t your 
will. These a r e signs of t h e in-
teraction of t h e mind and body. 
Thirdly, I point to one experi-
ence of t h e conflict within u s : 
Gauge t h e distance quickly be-
tween w h a t you a r e and w h a t 

HEART OF MAN 
you w a n t t o .be in t h e s i g h t of 
God. „ 

Now love is tied up w i t h these 
t h r e e aspects of a person. F i r s t , 
t h e r e is self-love. Because you 
a r e s e p a r a t e and self-enclosed by 
n a t u r e , it is n a t u r a l f o r you t o 
love t h a t independence and auto-
nomy. I t is necessary and n a t u -
ral to love yourself. P r o p e r self-
love is t h e f o u n d a t i o n of self-
respect and personal dignity, t h e 
drive to self-realization, t h e root 
of a sense of responsibility re-
g a r d i n g personal g i f t s . By 
reason of i t you grow and be-
come more a person. Our Lord 
took t h a t f o r g r a n t e d in an o f t 
quoted commandment, " T h o u 
shalt love t h y neighbor as thy-
self." Our Lord set self-love as 
the ideal to aim a t in loving 
others. H e knew proper self-
love was not evil, b u t good. I t is 
self-love with disorder t h a t is 
evil, self-love blown-up and mis-
shapen. 

Although you a r e s e p a r a t e and 
self-enclosed, your existence is 
violently marked by a pull to-
ward other persons. Your whole 
person experiences t h i s pull, 
your body and your soul. As a 
person you need response in both 
of these, and you need to give in 
both respects. Because m a r r i a g e 
is a union of two persons, i t r e -



LOVE 17 
quires more t h a n t h e giving of 
t h e body. I t requires t h e mutual 
giving„ and receiving of self. 
W i t h o u t such giving i t will be 
an incomplete and unhappy re-
relationship, and lead sooner or 
later to m u t i n y or to shipwreck. 
H u m a n s need h u m a n love. I 
think t h i s demands emphasis, f o r 
I f e a r t h a t too many look upon 
love as primarily, or even ex-
clusively, a m a t t e r of sex. Such 
love is traveling under an as-
sumed n a m e ; its real n a m e is 
lust. I t is t h e love of t h e male. 
I t is f o u n d in animals as well as 
men, and is t h e r e f o r e not t h e 
m a r k of a man. I t is a good, 
God-given power ordered to t h e 
wonderful "and mysterious real-
ity t h a t is life. God asks h u m a n s 
to look upon it w i t h reverence, 
and to subject i t to t h e control 
of t h e mind and of law. I t is 
a n a r c h y to abuse it. As a person 
a woman requires t h e love of a 
man, not merely t h e love of t h e 
male. And t h è same goes f o r 
man. Physical love in m a r r i a g e 
is t h e n a t u r a l and good expres-
sion of t h e love of. m a n f o r 
woman. I t can keep h u m a n love 
alive, or i t can kill it. A person 
may need it to live, b u t i t is not 
enough to live "on. F o r t h e body 
may be satisfied and t h e s p i r i t 
s t a r v i n g . A person needs not 

only to be satisfied b u t to be 
loved. T h e need of a person is 
f o r a person. 

I t is in t h e m a r r i a g e relation-
ship t h a t we witness t h e d r a -
matic clash of loves, t h e love of 
self and t h e love of another. 
When a person begins loving an-
other he does not stop loving 
himself. He cannot. Love of an-
other i s not intended t o choke off 
aelf-love, b u t t o balance i t and 
help it. When either p a r t n e r in 
a m a r r i a g e f o r g e t s this, and t h e 
dignity of personhood t h a t un-
derlies it, and stops t r e a t i n g t h e 
other as a person he will kill h e r 
love f o r him b e f o r e he will kill 
love f o r herself. This is t h e law 
of life. I t h i n k i t m e r i t s some 
t h o u g h t . 

Take a n o t h e r example of dis-
ordered self-love. T h e r e is love 
of self in a mother. The child is 
the response to h e r proper love 
of self as a mother. W i t h all 
love t h e r e is t h e desire to belong 
to another, and t h i s is in t h e 
child and t h e mother. So f a r so 
good. T h i s self-love can become 
disordered when t h a t sense of 
belonging t u r n s t o possessive-
ness. This is an ugly distortion 
of n a t u r a l love. You can own a 
car, b u t you cannot own a child. 
A child is a person, and no per-
son can be owned by a n o t h e r ; 



18 FAITH AND THE HEART OF MAN 
n a t u r e h a s placed t h e m beyond 
ownership. You cannot own a 
f r i e n d or a wife. You may call 
them yours, b u t they a r e always 
and ultimately t h e i r own. 

So t h e conflict is t w o f o l d : t h e 
w a r of t h e flesh a g a i n s t t h e 
s p i r i t and t h e w a r of self-love 
a g a i n s t the love of a n o t h e r when 
it is t h r e a t e n e d . In both respects, 
as f a r as I see, i t is an u n f a i r 
fight, t h e odds a r e a g a i n s t us, 
we a r e not equal to t h e opposi-
tion, we can't win—alone. 

T h e r e is no conflict in God, 
and t h e r e is no victory in h u m a n 
conflict w i t h o u t God. T h e law of 
my members fights a g a i n s t t h e 
law of -my mind, and God takes 
up a r m s on t h e side of my mind. 
God fights on t h e side of t h e 
s p i r i t and He never gives in. He 
does not fight f r o m a distance 
b u t within us. Grace is t h e di-
vine energy within us, t h e s h a r -
ing of t h e divine life. T h i s is 
possible because of t h e Redemp-
tion of Christ. The Son of God 
became one with humanity, and 
by t h a t oneness made i t possible 
f o r us to become in some* way 
one w i t h divinity. T h i s oneness 
was expressed by Jesus when He 
said,, " I am t h e vine. You a r e 
t h e branches. He who abides in 
me, and I in him, he b e a r s much 
f r u i t . F o r without me you can 

do n o t h i n g . " (John 15:5) I t was 
expressed by St. P a u l when he 
wrote to the Corinthians, "You 
a r e t h e body of C h r i s t , " ( 1 Cor. 
12:27) and, "You a r e t h e temple 
of t h e living God." (2 Cor. 6 : 6 ) 
C h r i s t i a n i t y is a m a t t e r of Union 
and union is a m a t t e r of love. 
P a u l could say, " I n all t h i n g s 
we overcome because of Him who 
loved us." (Romans 8:38) 

The second conflict is t h e 
clash of love of a n o t h e r w i t h 
love of self. The sign of d e f e a t 
in t h i s battle is selfishness. The 
sign of victory is altruism. T h i s 
is t h e second love of C h r i s t i a n i t y 
and its second g r e a t command-
ment, "Thou shalt love t h y 
neighbor as t h y s e l f . " Christ 
showed us t h e way in this, com-
m a n d m e n t - f r o m Bethlehem to 
Calvary. Lest we f o r g e t it, he 
said, " G r e a t e r love t h a n t h i s no 
one has, t h a t one lay down his 
life f o r his f r i e n d s . " (John 
15:13) And lest we f o r g e t it, 
he did! To t h i s example he ad-
ded a n o t h e r motive. He identified 
himself with the other he asked 
us to love. "Amen I say t o you, 
as long as you did i t f o r one of 
these, t h e least of my b r e t h r e n , 
you did i t f o r me." ( M a t t h e w 
25:40) John t h e Apostle could 
say bluntly. "If anyone says ' I 
love God,' and hates his b r o t h e r , 



LOVE 19 
he is a l i a r . " ( 1 John 4 : 2 0 ) 

" C h r i s t i a n i t y is p r i m a r i l y a m a t -
t e r of love of God, and t h e 
s u r e s t t e s t of t h a t is t h e love 
of neighbor. 

I t all comes down to t h i s : 
Persons cannot live h u m a n lives 
in themselves or towards a n o t h e r 
without divine help. P a u l wrote 
to t h e Romans, "All have sinned 
and have need of t h e glory of 
God. They a r e justified f r e e l y 
by his grace t h r o u g h t h e re-
demption which is in Christ 
J e s u s . . . t h e c h a r i t y of God is 
poured f o r t h in our h e a r t s by 
the Holy S p i r i t who has been 
given to us." ( 3 : 2 3 5:5) -

C h a r i t y is t h e Christ-life in 
us. I t is t h e l i f e and love of God 
in us. W i t h o u t i t we are, lost. 
Our loves have consumed us. I 
am helpless to tell you how 
necessary i t is, and so I t u r n to 
P a u l again. "If I should speak 
with t h e tongues of men and of 
angels, b u t do not have charity, 
I have become a sounding b r a s s 
or a tinkling cymbal . . . and if 
I have f a i t h so as to remove 
mountains, yet do not have char-
ity, I am nothing. And if I dis-
t r i b u t e all my goods to feed t h e 
poor, and if I deliver my body 
to be burned, Yet I do not have 
charity, it profits me n o t h i n g . " 
(1 Cor. 13:1-3)

Look a t w h a t you a r e doing! 

Giving g i f t s f o r Christmas. How 
do you feel about i t ? H a p p i e r 
t h a n you have f e l t in m o n t h s ? 
If i t b r i n g s you joy to give a t 
Christmas, it may b r i n g you joy 
to give on t h e F o u r t h of July, 
and on Sunday t h r o u g h S a t u r -
day f r o m J a n u a r y to December. 
T h e r e may be a connection be-

be a vital connection between 
them. I t may be a law of life 
t h a t joy is t h e f r u i t of giving. 
Look a t w h a t you a r e doing. 
When you finish w r a p p i n g your 
g i f t s , fold your hands, bow your 
head and look a t w h a t you a r e 
doing in your h e a r t . Why a r e 
you giving, and w h a t does giv-
i n g do to you? Are you a t your 
best a t C h r i s t m a s ? Was Dickens 
telling t h e t r u t h whein he 
had C h r i s t m a s u n f r e e z e even 
Scrooge? W h a t do you see in 
your h e a r t ? This t r u t h : Christ-
mas is a season of joy because 
it is a season of giving? 

B u t someone may say it is a 
j o y f u l day because t h e shops 
have rolled down t h e i r s h u t t e r s , 
and t h e money changers have 
locked t h e i r boxes, and t h e flame 
and t h e blast of t h e f u r n a c e is 
still, and men have escaped to 

the f a i r y l a n d of the home, where 
t h e competitors do not compete, 
and bosses do not boss, and mer-
chants do not haggle, and crowds 
do not push and bruise. Someone 
may say t h a t Christmas is 
t w e n t y - f o u r hours of a magic 
cottage, a brief sweet dream of a 
magic world t h a t man can keep 
alive only f o r a day, a mid-wint-
er n i g h t ' s dream t h a t vanishes 
like t h e f r o s t with t h e new day's 
heat. Do we have to disguise t h e

with carols to make men differ-

f e r e n t ? A r e they different be-
cause of convention, because of 
a social custom t h a t has enslav-

with t h e hands and withholding 
t h e h e a r t ? God f o r b i d ! I t h i n k 
t h e r e is no cynicism so cold t h a t 
the w a r m t h of -a C h r i s t m a s carol

s h a r p t h a t Christmas p r a y e r 
cannot dull it, no blindness so 
black t h a t it cannot catch t h e 
white glow of a Christmas candle 
beside a Christmas crib. All of 
us a r e living a t r u t h a t C h r i s t -
mas. We a r e preaching a sermon 
to ourselves t h a t we f o r g e t too 
soqp. The t r u t h we a r e living is 



JOY 21 
t h i s : Man is a t his best when 
he gives; he i s most human 
t h e n ; and when man is most 
human he is most happy. Joy is 
the f r u i t of giving of g i f t s , but 
I would tell you of a g r e a t e r joy, 
the giving of self, and I would 
tell you on Christmas of one 
who gave himself as no one ever 
gave before or since. 

This story begins in heaven 
before time began. I t begins with 
God the F a t h e r giving divine life 
to the Son. He t h a t is born of 
the divine F a t h e r is rightly call-
ed the Son. Since God is Spirit 
it is a spiritual birth, and the 
divine Son is t h e living likeness 
of the F a t h e r . He is the expres-
sion of the F a t h e r , and hence 
may be named the Word. So in 
your Christmas Mass you will 
read t h e lovely words of St. 
John's Gospel: "In t h e begin-
ning was the Word, and the 
Word was with God, and the 
Word was God." (1:1) The be-
ginning of time marked God's 
first giving to man, the prepara-
tion of a world f o r him, the g i f t 
of creation. All this was given 
through the.Son. So John r e a d s : 
"All things were made through 
Him, and without him was made 
nothing t h a t has been made.", 
(1:3) And when the fullness of 
time had come t h e F a t h e r ' s 

greatest giving came, the g i f t 
of the Son himself, the g i f t of 
the Incarnation. As John 
wrote i t : "The Word was made 
flesh and dwelt among us." ( 1 : 4 ) 
Mary called her Son Jesus, which 
means Savior, and when He told 
men why He had come, He said it 
was "to give his life as a ransom 
f o r m a n y / ' (Matthew 20:28). 

He began t h a t life of giving 
at the first moment of His exist-
ence in the virginal womb of 
Mary b u t made it m a n i f e s t to 
men in a miraculous way f o r the 
first time when Mary told Him 
of a simple need of people a t a 
wedding f e a s t . They needed 
wine, and amid the music and 
f u n of a wedding the glory of 
God was seen as Jesus began 
His life of giving. His giving 
was not a thing to be measured 
out cautiously. The gaiety of 
men and their laughter was s u f -
ficient reason f o r his giving and 
the request of Mary, who said, 
"They have no wine." There was 
to be no end of the giving then 
begun. You might see Him each 
day in the towns of Judea or 
Galilee giving His words ft) all 
who came to hear Him, especially 
to the poor. He gave not only 
of His light, but of His power 
as well. The blind came to Him 
and He gave them sight, t h e 



22 FAITH AND THE HEART OF MAN 
sick came and He gave them 
health, the crippled came and He 
gave them power "to walk, sin-
ners came and He gave them 
release f r o m t h e i r sins. When 
t h e crowds followed Him across 
t h e lake and had nothing to eat, 
He gave five thousand bread to 
eat with a f e w loaves. T h e r e was 
no end to His giving. Mothers 
brought t h e i r children and He 
gave them blessing. He gave life 
to t h e dead, to the son of a wid-
ow He had never seen b e f o r e and 
to t h e b r o t h e r of a f r i e n d . He 
gave His time, His energy, H i s 
wisdom, H i s power, His love, His 
mercy, His tenderness. And 
when t h e world Was asleep He 
gave His n i g h t hours in p r a y e r 
to His heavenly F a t h e r . 

Then came t h e day when t h e 
world of evil and the power of 
darkness tried to bind t h e hands 
of t h e Giver. They did bind His 
hands with nails to t h e cross, as 
if to say, "We'll p u t an end to 
your giving." But even as they 
bound Him He prayed, " F a t h e r 
f o r g i v e them, f o r they know not 
w h a t they do." (Luke 2 3 : 3 4 ) . 
F o r g i v i n g is t h e h a r d e s t giving 
of all. T h e r e was no end to His 
giving. On t h e cross He gave 
P a r a d i s e to a t h i e f , He gave 
Mary a son, and John a mother. 
He gave His blood to t h e last 

drop " a ransom f o r m a n y . " The 
n i g h t before He gave us " a re-
membrance of His wonderful 
works." (Psalm 1 1 0 : 4 ) . He l e f t 
us the eternal symbol of His 
everlasting giving f r o m the 
h e i g h t s of heaven to the depths 
of Calvary, t h e E u c h a r i s t . He 
gave us His flesh to eat, and His 
blood to drink. And a t t h a t same 
moment He shared His p r i e s t -
hood with His Apostles and t h e i r 
successors, who would t h r o u g h 
the Mass, extend His I n c a r n a -
tion to all times and places. 

Joy went where the Giver 
went. Imagine t h e joy of the 
paralytic when he took his first 
step and walked. Imagine t h e 
joy of the blind man when he 
first beheld the color of the 
e a r t h and the sky and t h e eyes 
of Christ. Imagine t h e joy of t h e 
sinner when released f r o m Sin. 
Imagine the joy of t h e Giver of 
these g i f t s . The Gospel is m a r k -
ed f r o m beginning to end with a 
note of joy. Gloom is an alien 
body in Christianity. The very 
word Gospel means good news. 
Mary's Magnificat in the Gos-
pel of St. Luke is a song of j o y ; 
h e r s p i r i t rejoices in God h e r 
Saviour. When Mary came to 
visit Elizabeth who was also 
with child Elizabeth greeted h e r 
with the words, " T h e moment 



JOY 2 3 
t h a t the sound of thy greeting 
came to my ears, the babe in my 
womb leapt f o r joy." (Luke 1: 
44). John the Baptist was t h a t 
child, and later he was to say, 
" I am not the Christ, but have 
been sent before Him . . . the 
f r i e n d of the bridegroom, who 
stands and hears Him, rejoices 
exceedingly at the voice of the 
bridegroom. This my joy there-
f o r e is made full." (John 3 : 2 9 ) . 

Jesus often spoke of joy. We 
meet it in His parables of the 
kingdom of heaven. "The king-
dom of heaven is like a t r e a s u r e 
hidden in a field; a man who 
finds it hides it, and in his joy 
goes and sells all t h a t he has 
and buys t h a t field." (Matthew 
13:44). It appears in the lovely 
parable of the lost sheep. The 
shepherd leaves the ninety-nine 
in the desert to go in search of 
the one t h a t is lost. "And when 
he has found it, he lays it upon 
his shoulders rejoicing. And on 
coming home he calls together 
his f r i e n d s and neighbors, say-
ing to them, 'Rejoice with me, 
because I have found my sheep 
t h a t was lost.' I say to you, that, 
even so, there will be joy in 
heaven over one sinner who re-
pents, more than ninety-nine 
just, who have no need of re-
pentance." (Luke 15:5-7). What 

is there to compare with the joy 
of the f a t h e r in t h a t loveliest of 
all parables, the Prodigal Son. 
Remember the f a t h e r ' s excited 
words upon his son's r e t u r n . 
"Fetch quickly the best robe and 
put it on him, and give him a 
ring f o r his finger and sandals 
f o r his f e e t ; and bring out t h e 
fattened calf and kill it, and 
let us eat and make m e r r y ; be-
cause this my son was dead, and 
has come to life a g a i n ; he was 
lost and is found." (Luke 15:21-
24). P i c t u r e the joy of the peo-
ple as they listened to Jesus and 
beheld their kindly F a t h e r in 
heaven through the thin lovely 
veil of the story of the Prodigal 
Son. P i c t u r e the joy of Jesus as 
He told it. 

In the Upper Room the n i g h t 
before Calvary Jesus spoke to 
His disciples of joy. "These 
things I have spoken to you t h a t 
my joy may be in you, and t h a t 
your joy may be made full." 
(John 15:11). He prayed t h a t 
night t h a t His joy might be 
theirs. " B u t now I am coming 
to thee, ( F a t h e r ) ; and while 
I am still in the world I am tell-
ing them this, so t h a t my joy 
may be theirs, and reach its full 
measure in them." (17:13). He 
reassured them with these 
words: "Your gladness will be 



24 FAITH AND THE HEART OF MAN 
one which nobody can t a k e away 
f r o m you." ( 1 6 : 2 2 ) . 

I t is Christmas Eve and t h e 
time opens a door to m e r r i m e n t 
and m i r t h . Merriment is a bub-
ble t h a t is moist f o r a m o m e n t ; 
joy is a well-spring t h a t never 
r u n s dry. I speak to you serious-
ly not to r e s t r a i n your m e r r i -
ment, but to enrich your joy. 
M e r r i m e n t can be a mask t h a t 
w e a r s t h i n in a d a y ; joy is as 
deep as t h e h e a r t of man. Mer-
r i m e n t is not a t h i n g to be scof-
f e d at. I t is a human response 
to a h u m a n need. I t is the ex-
pression of t h e human h e a r t t h a t 
needs company, song and laugh-
t e r sometimes. We do r i g h t to 
wish men a m e r r y Christmas, f o r 
human h e a r t s a r e made to be 
m e r r y a t times, especially a t 
Christmas time. I t is r i g h t tb 
wish men a m e r r y Christmas, 
b u t it is not enough to wish 
them. Add to t h a t wish a p r a y e r 
t h a t they may find joy. A p r a y e r 
is necessary because joy is not 
a t h i n g t h a t men find easily. We 
find m e r r i m e n t with a jolly com-
pany, -or with the aid of cakes 

and ale. Joy is not born of such 
t r i v i a l p a r e n t s . I t is deep down 
within a man rooted in t h e fiber 
of his soul. I t comes not f r o m a 
good time, but f r o m t h e good 
life. I t too needs companionship, 
t h e companionship of C h r i s t and 
His grace. I t thrives on exercise, 
t h e exercise of giving. More t h a n 
a giving of g i f t s it is a giving of 
self. T h i s self-giving does not 
so much consist in doing t h i s or 
t h a t , b u t in an a t t i t u d e of mind 
and a disposition of heart, a like-
ness to Christ, Who said, "Learn 
f r o m me, f o r I am meek and 
humble of h e a r t . " ( M a t t h e w 11: 
2 9 ) . 

All these words of mine a r e 
b u t t h e introduction to a wish 
and t h e p r e f a c e to a p r a y e r . I 
wish you all a m e r r y and a j o y f y l 
Christmas. My p r a y e r f o r you 
now and in my Christmas Mas-
ses tomorrow is t h i s : May you 
learn the a r t of giving and t h e 
joy of living f r o m Him Whose 
b i r t h d a y we celebrate, Blessed 
Mary's Son. And I shall ask 
you f o r a g i f t . Please say t h e 
same p r a y e r f o r me. 



H O 
Religion is not a substitute 

f o r common sense. You need 
common sense in a church as 
much as in a grocery store or a 
service station. In f a r too many 
cases religious beliefs of some 
persons are a substitute f o r 
sound judgment, particularly in 
m a t t e r s dealing with prophecy 
and the f u t u r e . The Bible is one 
of the most difficult books in the 
world to understand and inter-
pret. The oldest p a r t s of the 
Bible were written more than 
three thousand years ago, and 
all of it was written over 
eighteen hundred years ago. I t 
was written in a distant land 
and in ancient and alien tongues. 
To i n t e r p r e t t h e Bible with some 
sort of authority one needs edu-
cation in history, language, and 
theology. Wishing will not make 
one a biblical i n t e r p r e t e r any 
more than it will make one rich. 
Prophecy is the most difficult 
phase of Old Testament inter-
pretation, and in the New Testa-
ment the Apocalypse, the Revela-
tion to John, is the njost difficult 
book to understand and explain. 
F o r many texts we can arrive 
only a t probable interpretations 
and conclusions. To take these 
texts and to deduce f r o m them 

P E 
with mathematical precision pre-
dictions about the f u t u r e contra-
dicts not only the n a t u r e of 
prophecy but common sense as 
well. And it does h a r m to the 
cause of religion among think-
ing people. There is much too 
much private interpretation of 
the Bible, and it is a most un-
f o r t u n a t e situation. 

Man is religious by nature. He 
is, not educated by nature. Man 
is emotional by nature. He is 
not self-controlled by nature. He 
acquires education by effort and 
self-control by grace. In the 
meantime we can exploit his ig-
norance and his emotions in the 
name of religion or in the name 
of anything else. This is not only 
a possibility, but an all too f r e -
quent actuality, particularly in 
the field of religion. I attempt 
no estimate of responsibility in 
the m a t t e r . I point to the f a c t 
and lament it. In this most criti-
cal year in the most critical of 
centuries I appeal to all religious 
leaders f o r a g r e a t e r sense of 
responsibility. I appeal f o r "it in 
the name of honor, honesty, and 
humility. I carry t h a t appeal 
beyond religious leaders to those 

-who mold public opinion in the 
press or on the radio, to those 



26 FAITH AND THE HEART OF MAN 
who shape t h e minds of t h e 
young t h r o u g h television and 
moving-pictures. I appeal to p a r -
ents and educators, to everyone 
who is responsible f o r anyone 
f o r a f u l l e r sense of responsi-
bility, a g r e a t e r awareness of t h e 
a w f u l seriousness of t h e hour 
and a courage to match the over-
whelming proportions of the 
crisis. I appeal f o r a clear head 
and a humble heart, f o r t h a t 
minimum of u n i t y without which 
America as a nation cannot long 
endure. 

All t h a t is p r e f a c e to my re-
m a r k s on hope. Hope is a man's 
act, not a child's game. Hope is 
conditioned by reality. In a b u r n -
ing house you do not hope the 
house will not b u r n ; you hope to 
get out alive. Let us reason to-
g e t h e r about hope with f a i t h 
and common sense. 

A Christian lives in two 
worlds, the City of God and the 
City of Man. He is a citizen of 
t h e S t a t e and a member of t h e 
Church. He considers both 
worlds important, b u t he holds 
the spiritual world supreme. He 
believes t h a t "heaven and e a r t h 
will pass a w a y " (Mark 13:31), 
t h a t is, t h i s visible world of 
e a r t h and sky. This is not news. 
You may read it in St. Paul or in 
S i r J a m e s Jeans. B u t t h i s ques-

tion is news! Will man destroy 
t h e City of Man b e f o r e time 
does? T h a t is an altogether 
reasonable question in 1950, un-
dreamed of in 1900. The Chris-
tian believes t h a t t h e City of 
God is eternal, f o r i t is a city 
not built with hands. Christ said, 
"My words will not pass away." 
( M a r k 1 3 : 3 1 ) . He said, " I go 
to p r e p a r e a place f o r you 
t h a t where I am, t h e r e you also 
may be." (John 14:2) I believe 
in everlasting life with Christ. 
T h a t will not pass away. 

These beliefs condition my 
hopes. A Christian is a m a n 
with a hope in each hand, a hori-
zontal hope and a vertical hope. 
T h e vertical hope r u n s upwards 
toward heaven. He hopes to go 
t h e r e where " n e i t h e r moth nor 
r u s t consumes." ( M a t t h e w 6 : 
2 0 ) . The horizontal hope points 
across t h e face of t h e e a r t h . H e 
has hope f o r t h e C i t y of Man too, 
f o r he believes in God's provi-
dence as well as in God's pre-
destination. 

Let us look a t the horizontal 
hope first, t h e h o p e ' f o r t h e world 
t h a t man has built, t h e world 
t h a t is in such imminent peril. 
This is t h e hope t h a t needs t h e 
h a r d and f a s t control of bal-
anced j u d g m e n t . I t is t h e hope 
f o r America s t r e t c h i n g between 



HOPE 27 
thé shining seas, where more 
t h a n ever b e f o r e on e a r t h the 
hopes and dreams of man have 
been realized, a world t h a t is not 
all good b u t in which t h e r e is 
more good t h a n evil, a world 
which makes iti^ s h a r e of mis-
takes b u t knows how t o forgive, 
a world t h a t is t r u l y worth sav-
i n g because i t is t h e hope not 
pnly of Americans, b u t of- all 
lovers of freedom, a world t h a t 
h a s m i g h t and t h e responsibili-
ties of m i g h t . 

W h a t is our hope f o r i t ? Our 
hope is conditioned by t h e mon-
s t r o u s r e g i m e n t s t h a t surround 
it, by t h e d r e a m s our f o e dreams 
by t h e hopes he harbors, by h i s 
vision of a world to be undone 
and of his power to undo it. Do 
we d a r e hope to sit out our days 
by t h e quiet fires of compro-
mise? I s ours t h e feeble hope 
t h a t will accept a desolation and 
call it peace? I t h i n k we a r e con-
f r o n t e d w i t h a choice: slavery 
or b a t t l e ! T h e first is not hope 
b u t despair.. My humble and hon-
est hope on t h i s last day of the 
year is not f o r peace but f o r 
victory. T h e reason f o r my 
j u d g m e n t is all t h e reasons you 
know and t h i s is one: evil does 

-not die; it must be killed. Com-
munism will not compromise 
any more t h a n S a t a n . 

The present conflict is not 
new. T h e r e a r e new names and 
new weapons. Do you remem-
ber this question and a n s w e r ? 
" W h a t leads to w a r ? . . . I will 
tell you; the appetites which in-
f e s t your mortal bodies. Your 
desires go unfulfilled, so you fall 
to m u r d e r i n g . " ( J a m e s 4 : 1 ) 
Does t h a t sound like an excerpt 
f r o m t h i s morning's p a p e r ? I t 
was w r i t t e n by St. J a m e s a l m o s t , 
nineteen hundred y e a r s ago. Do 
you recall who said, "Do not im-
agine I have come to b r i n g 
peace to t h e e a r t h ; I have come 
to b r i n g a sword, not peace." 
(Matthew 1 0 : 3 4 ) . J e s u s of Na-
zareth. Even t h e peace of t h e 
first Christmas was. conditioned 
peace. "Peace on e a r t h to men of 
good will." (Luke 2 : 1 4 ) . T h e 
peace t h a t Christ b r o u g h t was 
not political b u t personal, a 
peace t h a t remained w h e t h e r 
men t u r n e d t h e i r swords into 
ploughshares or t h e i r plough-
shares into swords, a peace t h a t 
neither t h e world nor w a r can 
take f r o m you. 

T h e hope t h a t t h e world t h a t 
man h a s made will know no 
more w a r is p e r h a p s an unfound-
ed hope. T h e r e is nothing in t h e 
p a s t to give us reason f o r it. 
H i s t o r i a n s date t h e beginnings 
of m i l i t a r y imperialism w i t h 



28 FAITH AND THE HEART OF MAN 
Tutmoses I I I in E g y p t about 
thirty-five hundred years ago. 
F r o m Babylon to Moscow man 
learns ever so slowly t h a t peace 
is the f r u i t of justice. Only when 
justice prevails on the e a r t h will 
t h e r e be an end of war. Some 
f e a r t h a t perhaps we a r e ap-
proaching the last w a r of the 
world, the battle of Armageddon, 
t h e apocalyptic s t r u g g l e between 
Christ and Anti-Christ. I do not 
think so, although our f o e bears 
many of the m a r k s of t h e beast. 
I t h i n k t h i s is one of t h e w a r s 
between good and evil, t h e g r e a t -
est man has known, b u t not t h e 
last. A w a r between good and 
evil does not mean t h a t all those 
who oppose us a r e evil. Many 
follow leaders without knowing 
where they lead. Many have lost 
the will to resist. Many a r e teo 
h u n g r y to resist. Many too much 
a f r a i d . Many love bread more, 
t h a n freedom. Many a r e be-
fuddled by words, words, 
words. Many a r e benighted, 
many bewitched. We a r e not 
all good. Many on our side 
t h i n k t h a t goodness has lit-
tle or nothing to do with t h e 
case. We have our s h a r e of con-
fusion, stupidity, and vice, b u t 
our cause is t h e good cause. Our 
banner is white although t h e 
hands and h e a r t s t h a t bear i t a r e 

soiled. In t h i s J s our hope t h a t 
we fight f o r t h e r i g h t , t h a t we 
love f r e e d o m and h a t e t y r a n t s . 
Christians a r e convinced of vic-
tory. They believe t h a t Christ 
is s t r o n g e r t h a n Satan, and t h e r e 
is much sacred blood t o be 
avenged. 

The Christian remembers t h e 
victory hope of his ancestors 
w r i t t e n in t h e Apocalypse in t h e 
figure of t h e white horse and its 
rider, who "rode out victorious 
and to win victory." ( 6 : 2 ) The 
r i d e r "bore f o r his title, t h e 
F a i t h f u l , t h e T r u e ; he judges 
and goes to battle in t h e cause 
of the r i g h t . . . t h e name by 
which he is called is t h e Word of 
God . . . And t h e title is w r i t -
ten on his cloak, over, his thigh, 
The King of Kings, and t h e Lord 
of Lords." (19:11-16) The 
Christian confidence is in victory 
of t h e cause of r i g h t because i t 
is the cause of Christ. H i s p r a y e r 
is t h a t all who fight in t h a t cause 
will s h a r e in t h e whiteness of 
Christ, f o r then t h e victory will 
be s w i f t and sure. 

The vertical hope is t h a t hope 
f o r t h e h e r e a f t e r . T h i s is t h e 
hope t h a t is s i s t e r of f a i t h and 
c h a r i t y . I t is the hope t h a t St. 
Paul speaks of in Romans 5. "We 
a r e confident in t h e hope of a t -
t a i n i n g glory as t h e sons of God; 



HOPE 29 
nay, we a r e confident even over 
our afflictions, knowing well t h a t 
affliction gives r i s e to endur-
ance and endurance gives proof 
of our f a i t h , and a proved f a i t h 
gives ground f o r hope. N o r does 
t h i s hope delude u s ; t h e love of 
God h a s been poured out in our 
h e a r t s by t h e Holy Spirit, whom 
we have received." ( 5 : 2 - 7 ) . The 
hope of C h r i s t i a n s is to come to 
t h e raven of peace a f t e r 
t h e storms of t h i s life, 
to find r e s t a f t e r turmoil, to 
behold light a f t e r t h e darkness. 
T h e r e f o r e t h e Church p r a y s f o r 
h e r d e p a r t e d : " E t e r n a l r e s t 
g r a n t to them, 0 Lord, and let 
perpetual light shine upon them." 

May they r e s t in peace." T h e 
Christian hope is not f o r a Uto-
pia here below bought with other 
men's blood, b u t f o r a heaven 
beyond purchased by t h e blood 
of Christ. 

As t h e first half of t h e twenti-
eth century r u n s out t o n i g h t I 
think the Christian hope f o r our 
world is like t h e hope -and t h e 
c e r t i t u d e of Christ, t h e hope f o r 
an E a s t e r a f t e r a Good F r i d a y , 
the hope f o r t h e resurrection of 
the world a f t e r the tomb of war. 
This hope, and only this, gives 
t h e Good F r i d a y we f a c e a mean-
i n g : victory f o r our cause and 
glory f o r our dead! May God be 
with you. 



THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR 
Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal H a y e s at the in-
augural program of the Catholic Hour in the studio o f the National 
Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.)
