Show Faith To be led by ones senses only is to live the life of a beast. To take reason for ones rule of life is to live like the worldly wise and philosophical. But to follow the light of faith is to live as a Christian and a worthy disciple cf the Son of God. We should ask God for an increase of faith, conforming con-forming our mind and will to all he has revealed accepting it on his authority. Mary Cornelia Otis Skinner, a non-catholic non-catholic says of the Virgin Mary "Lady most serenely fair. Hear an unbeliever's prayer. Nintured in an austere creed. Sweetest Lady, she has need. If the solace of thy grace. See the tears that stain her face. As she kneels to beg your love, You, whom no one told her of." Fr. Pellegrino received word this past week of an accident involving in-volving his cousin, John Bruno, from Helper. He suffered a broken brok-en and crushed left leg, while dropping cars in the Kenilworth lower yard on Holy Thursday, April 7th. The .coupling on the railroad cars slipped past each other and caused Mr. Bruno's left leg to be caught between them and crushed. Two men in the lamp house near the Kenilworth Kenil-worth tipple heard him and rushed rush-ed to the scene. Dr. Robinson from Kenilworth hospital took immediate action but gangerine set in and amputation above the knee was necessary. Fr. asks the people of the parish to pray for Mr. Bruno.
