Catholic Mission
Well Attended
0
The Mission series of sermons
and instructions continue each
evening at St. Joseph’s Catholic
Church. In spite of wind and snow
a large crowd has 'Welcomed the
lectures of the missionary. When
questioned concerning the topic
for tonight’s discussion, Father
Toner made the following state
ment:
The Vocation of Marriage . . .
Perhaps it seems strange that a
Catholic priest, should attempt to
speak to you on the subject of
matrimony. The fact that I have
never been married does not elim
inate me as one who knows the
trails and hardships, joys and hap
piness of married life. If you break
your arm, you take yourself to a
doctor, not to one who has for
merly had a broken arm. The doc
tor, because of his training and
experience is an authority on
broken bones, even though no
bone in his body was ever broken.
So also, the priest, because of his
training and experience, is an au
thority on the causes of unhappi
ness in home life, though he has
never experienced the happiness
and satisfaction of establishing his
own home.
Marriage is a very definite voca
tion in life, and like every other
vocation, marriage requires prep
aration. If a person enters the le
gal profession, he spends years
preparing for his vocation and
then does not expect success unless
he expends constant effort in the
pursuit of that vocation. Another
chooses the medical profession,
spends years in preparation nad
then adds more years of work and
study in his chosen field before he
astes the sweet victory of success.
Every vocation in life requires
like preparation and diligence if
success is ever to be found. Then,
are we not unreasonable if we ex
pect. without preparation and
without constant effort to find
success in matrimony?
Preparation for success in mar
rage begins in childhood. If par
ents do not root selfishness from
the hearts of their children, those
ch id on will grow to be selfish
adolescents, and selfish young
nv n and women. And a selfish
young man or woman will never
be a good partner in a home.
Happy home life is the fruit of
true love, and love never asks,
“What am I going to get out of
his?,” but rather, “What more
can I give to the one that I love;”
The preparation for marriage re
quires a character training which
is self-imposed and a heart that is
as free from self interest as it is
tuned to love.
