Excerpt from Catholic Action and the Priest I have selected the parable of the Prudent Householder as the basis for some useful and perhaps necessary lessons in the light of the principles and demands of Catholic Action. But first it will be better to Show some way by which we may come to a real knowledge of this subject. Because being some thing that touches our whole life, our conduct and our office, mere notional knowledge about it is useless - that sort of knowledge which runs it off out of one's life to embalmment in the airy region of theory and speculation in his mind alone; the sort, too, which leads to misapprehension, misgiving and ultimately to mischief when it comes to putting that knowl edge to account in one's ministry. Of the vital necessity of Catholic Action as it affects us we can have no doubt, for this is a constantly recurring aspect of it in all the official docu ments. One selection will suffice here - one of the many and not at all the most emphatic - taken from a letter of the late Pope Pius XI, to the Archbishop of Breslau, dated Novem ber 13, 1928.

Excerpt from The Catholic Confessional and the Sacrament of Penance 1. This earth is not our true home. It is only a place of trial, a place of 'probation. And yet, upon our few short years of probation here below, will depend a happy or miserable eternity. We have not here a lasting city, says the Bible, but seek out that is to come. Hence our great and permanent work is to save our immortal souls and thus prepare them for Heaven. Seek ye first the Kingdom' of God and His Justice, says Christ. For what shall it profit a man 'if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A reprint of Cardijn's classic 1964 Laymen into Action, now titled Laypeople into Action. This seminal work has been for many years the principal introduction to the Jocist movements and the Jocist method of 'See, Judge, Act', the 'review of life method'. The Jocist 'See, Judge, Act' were to become key words in various documents from Vatican II due to the influence of Cardijn and others associated with him and his work in the Jocists movements, who wrote or contributed in some way to some of the key documents from Vatican II. Born in Belgium, ordained in 1906, Cardijin was nine years old when the the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum was released. His life can be seen as a brilliant application of the principles of that social document. He dedicated himself to the working class and especially to young workers whom he saw leading degraded and dechristianised lives in the industrial lives in the industrial society of Northern Belgium. Cardijn established the Young Christian Workers (YCW) movement, an international movement, in the early part of this century. His sound apostolic theology has provided inspiration and guidance for the YCW and for other apostolic movements, including the YCS, and TYCS. Laypeople into Action is a collection of writings and speeches by Cardijn explaining his conception of the person and their mission, methods of formation, Cardijn's hopes for the future and his understanding of the Church in the modern world. There is solid food for thought here for those actively engaged in the lay apostolate, giving a detailed outline of a theology of the laity, a theology of mission for the laypeople and for priests, the role of priest in forming lay leaders, a foundational document on the how and why of lay formation, of formation through 'like to like', and the importance and role in the Church and society of international movements of laypeople such as the YCW and the YCS.

Excerpt from The Priest One wet evening in the late spring of the year 1905, a well-hung, one-horsed brougham was drawn up outside a church in the neighbourhood of Pimlico. Inside this buff-lined and deep-padded carriage, with her hand holding the window strap, and her gaze fixed upon the lighted interior of the church - which, striped by the rain, could be seen through the open door, with its red curtains swinging in the draught - was a handsome woman of fashion approaching her fortieth year. Her hair was of a dark brown; the small eyes - dusk-lidded, and close under clean-pencilled brows, which did not curve but were straight and almost met together - were reddish-brown and darkly lashed; her nose, which was neither thin nor finely chiselled, sloped to a slight upward tiAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Sufficiency and Defects of the English Communion Office HE object which led to the enterprise of this subject was essentially practical. Considerable outcry had been raised against the interpolation into the service by the Celebrant of parts of the Unreformed Office. The outcry interpreted this action as throwing doubt or discredit on the Office of our Church. And this interpretation is justified by the open avowals of many who are addicted to this practice. They allege defect or deficiency in our Office. Others, indeed, without such allegation or conscious admission, defend their interpolations as conducing to greater fulness or richness. The object of this work in part'is to attempt to disprove the charges of insufficiency and to show the redundancy of such interpolations. The nature of the interpolations in View has been already defined. There is no reference to any private1 intercessions or devo tions of the Celebrant, but to the direct interpolation of portions of other Offices.
