Saint Cajetan lived in Rome in the early 1500s. He went to Venice
and then returned to Rome to found the order of the Theatines.
The doctrine of hell is one of the four last things. Father
Schouppe gives a terrifying presentation of this doctrine that will
inspire people to avoid this horrible place and to save their soul.
We need to study this truth carefully so that we realize just how
important it is to become a Saint. Let us consider this story: The
following incident happened in 1837. A young under-lieutenant,
being in Paris, entered the Church of the Assumption, near the
Toilers, and saw a priest kneeling near a confessional. As he made
religion the habitual subject of his jokes, he wished to go to
confession to while away the time, and went into the confessional.
"Monsieur l'abbe," he said, "would you be good enough to hear my
confession?" "Willingly my son; confess unrestrained." "But I must
first say that I am a rather unique kind of a sinner." "No matter;
the sacrament of penance has been instituted for all sinners." "But
I am not very much of a believer in religious matters." "You
believe more than you think." "Believe? I? I am a regular scoffer."
The confessor saw with whom he had to deal, and that there was some
mystification. He replied, smiling: "You are a regular scoffer? Are
you then making fun of me too?" The pretended penitent smiled in
like manner. "Listen," the priest went on, "what you have just done
here is not serious. Let us leave confession aside; and, if you
please, have a little chat. I like military people greatly; and,
then, you have the appearance of a good, amiable youth. Tell me,
what is your rank?" "Under-lieutenant." "Will you remain an
under-lieutenant long?" "Two, three, perhaps four years." "And
after?" "I shall hope to become a lieutenant?" "And after?" "I hope
to become a captain." "And after?" "Lieutenant-colonel?" "How old
will you be then?" "Forty to forty-five years." "And after that?"
"I shall become a brigadier general." "And after?" "If I rise
higher, I shall be general of a division." "And after?" "After
there is nothing more except the Marshal's baton; but my
pretensions do not reach so high." "Well and good. But do you
intend to get married?" "Yes, when I shall be a superior officer."
"Well There you are married; a superior officer, a general, perhaps
even a French marshal, who knows? And after?" "After? Upon my word,
I do not know what will be after." "See, how strange it is " said
the abbe. Then, in a tone of voice that grew more sober: "You know
all that shall happen up to that point, and you do not know what
will be after. Well, I know, and I am going to tell you, After, you
shall die, be judged, and, if you continue to live as you do, you
shall be damned, you shall go and burn in hell; that is what will
be after." As the under-lieutenant, dispirited at this conclusion,
seemed anxious to steal away: "One moment, sir," said the abbe.
"You are a man of honor. So am I. Agree that you have offended me,
and owe me an apology. It will be simple. For eight days, before
retiring to rest, you will say: 'One day I shall die; but I laugh
at the idea. After my death I shall be judged; but I laugh at the
idea. After my judgment, I shall be damned; but I laugh at the
idea. I shall burn forever in hell; but I laugh at the idea ' That
is all. But you are going to give me your word of honor not to
neglect it, eh?" More and more wearied, and wishing, at any price,
to extricate himself from this false step, the under-lieutenant
made the promise. In the evening, his word being given, he began to
carry out his promise. "I shall die," he says. "I shall be judged."
He had not the courage to add: "I laugh at the idea." The week had
not passed before he returned to the Church of the Assumption, made
his confession seriously, and came out of the confessional his face
bathed with tears, and with joy in his heart.
Signs, Signals, Symbols seldom seen, science says sing silent songs
of the glory of the maker of five hundred million suns. I. The
Wonders of The Heavens. II. The Wonders of The Solar System. 111.
The Wonders of 'l'he Earth. IV. The Wonders of Life. V. The.
Wonders of Human Life. Go out at night, when the stars shine
bright, and look up at the heavens. A ring of light at a vast
height sweeps round amid the stars. A great half-circle it seems
-in our northern latitude, its two ends lost below the horizon. Go
south, below the equator, and you find it forms a mighty white
cloudy ribbon, running round the whole heavens. It inclines at an
angle of 63 degrees to the equinoctial, that imaginary plane where
the sun is when days and nights are equal. From far-off days, when
our race was young, men asked: What is it? Because of its
whiteness, the Greeks called it the Galaxy, from gala, "milk," and
we the Milky Way. Sweeping round the whole firmament, as a mighty
ring, looking like a bright, 'long, white expanse with irregular
borders, nowhere broken, it ever excited curiosity, and claimed the
study of the world's greatest minds. All was guesswork till the
telescope was invented. the two Herschels, Sir William and Sir
John, father and son, using the most powerful instruments known in
their -days, spent almost 'their whole lives in its study. The
greatest astronomers of all ages, in every civilized country, tried
to penetrate its mysteries, and in few words we will lay before the
reader the sum total of their labors. How can we make the reader
grasp the Wonders our instruments reveal, when so many learned men
have spent their whole lives studying the heavens how, will we
condense their discoveries into a few pages?
OUR holy faith teaches us, and we are bound to believe, that in the
consecrated Host, Jesus Christ is really present under the species
of bread. But we must also understand that He is thus present on
our altars as on a throne of love and mercy, to dispense graces,
and there to show us the love which He bears us, by being pleased
to dwell night and day hidden in the midst of us. It is well known
that the Holy Church instituted the Festival of Corpus Christi with
a solemn octave, and that she celebrates it with the many usual
processions, and such frequent expositions of this Most Holy
Sacrament, that men may thereby be moved gratefully to acknowledge
and honour this loving presence and dwelling of Jesus Christ in the
Sacrament of the Altar, by their devotions, thanksgivings, and the
tender affections of their souls. O God how many insults and
outrages has not this amiable Redeemer had, and has He not daily,
to endure in this Sacrament on the part of those very men for whose
love He remains upon their altars on earth Of this He indeed
conlplained to His dear servant Sister Margaret Alacoque, as the
author of the Book of Devotion to the Heart of Jesus relates. One
day, as she was in prayer before the Most Holy Sacrament, Jesus
showed her His Heart on a throne of flames, crowned with thorns,
and surmounted by a cross, and thus addressed her: "Behold that
Heart, which has loved men so much, and which has spared Itself
nothing; and has even gone so far as to consume Itself, thereby to
show them Its love; but in return the greater part of men only show
Me ingratitude, and this by the irreverences, tepidity, sacrileges,
and contempt which they offer Me in this Sacrament of Love; and
that which I feel the most acutely is, that they are hearts
consecrated to Me." Jesus then expressed His wish, that the first
Fridtty after the Octave of Corpus Christi should be dedicated as a
particular festival in honour of His adorable Heart; and that on
that day all souls who loved Him should endeavour, by their homage,
and by the affections of their souls, to make amends for the
insults which men have offered Him in this Sacrament of the Altar;
and at the same time He promised abundant graces to all who should
thus honour Him.

usefulness, and majesty of Scripture are so great that it surpasses
the books of all philosophers and theologians, both Hebrew, Greek,
and Latin, as much as Divine surpasses human wisdom. For Scripture
is the Word of God. It is the very utterance of God, by means ot
which God enunciates His wisdom to us, and points out to us the way
to virtue, health, and eternal happiness. S. Augustine asserts
that" Sacred Scripture is an Encyclopedia of all the sciences. Here
is Natural Philosophy, because all the causes of all creatures are
in God, the Creator. Here is Moral Philosophy, because a good and
honest life is derived from no other source than the love of God
and our neighbour as they ought to be loved. Here is Logic, because
Truth and the Light of the rational soul are God. Here is Political
Science, for a really flourishing State can neither be founded nor
preserved except upon the foundation, and by the bond of faith, and
firm concord, when the common good of all is loved: that is to say,
when God is loved above all things, and when men love one another
in Him, and for His sake." After an interval he adds, "By the
Scriptures depraved minds are corrected, little minds are
nourished, great minds are delighted. The only minds which are
hostile to this doctrine are those which either by going astray
know not its healthfulness, or being sick dislike its medicine."
Sacred Scripture is the art of arts, the science ot sciences: it is
the Pandora of Wisdom. In our own time, S. Theresa, a woman endowed
with the spirit of prophecy, and renowned throughout all Spain for
the glory of her miracles, and the sanctity of her life, was taught
by God that all the troubles of the Church, all the evils in the
world, flow from this source, that men do not, by clear and sound
knowledge, and serious consideration, penetrate into the verities
of Sacred Scripture. See Franciscus Ribera in her Life. S. Basil
says, "Holy Scripture is the universal depository of medicine for
the cure of souls. From it everyone may select the remedy which is
salutary and appropriate for his own disease."
