A MESSAGE TO THE SICK Broadcast from Our Lady of Sorrows Novena, Chicago, Nov. 17, 1939 "May God bless all the dear people at home who cannot come to church and may He restore them to full health, pro– vided it be for the good of their immor– tal souls. To suffer patiently with our Sorrowful Mother and to share cour– ageously some portion of the Cross, what an inspiring conquest of life! "While you may ambition more active service, the generous acceptance of your trial is the best offering. You would prefer to be up and doing, but eyen though prevented, the noblest achieve– ment is to accomplish the Divine Will. Offer the most sublime gift of 3ll-the gift of self. "May you consecrate yourselves un– reservedly to God. Deed to Him all the powers of body and soul, your hopes and plans, your joys and sorrows, aspira– tions and affections. Confide to the One Pivine Heart that loved you first all your interests, the thousand .and one perplexities of life, 'casting all your care upon Him, for He hath care of you.' The love of God and the love of the world are so incompatible that what one gains the other loses. "To surrender the mind, the will and the conquered body to God is to reign– a reign of righteousness, of reason, of justice, of sanctity-indeed, a victory like that of the angels. So that what may appear to the eyes of the worldling a failure becomes, according to eternal values, the triumph of failure. "Resolve then to conform your will entirely to whatever God wills, what– ever furthers His glory. For God is the Lord and Master of all things - 'He made us, not we ourselves.' He not only holds _supreme dominion over us, but H~ constitutes the one object and aim of our existence. Dedicate to Him through the Immaculate Heart of Mary every pain, every act and contradiction everv . ' . disappointment. Your-hearts longing to be united to your changeless Friend, re– new with Saint Paul the pledge of un– dying loyalty that nothing shall separ– !lte you from the love of Jesus Christ."
