In parting, among other things, I said: “Well, thank God for Malvern! Without it the poor fellow may not have received the Sacraments at all." The aforementioned deceased incidentally was never at Ilslvern. Afler several miles of driving and I comparable number of minutes, I simmered down to I slow boil and more careful motoring. Then came questions. I was now talking to myself. Do we have "Retrealeliouse Catholics" at Malvern? Are there in our member- ship individuals who use the Retreat only for that once-A-year spiritual hath? no we have men who, utter listening to and meditrt. ing on the spiritual conferences, the pleas to lend I better life, our inristrnt urgings an the importance and need of frequent and regular good Confessions and dzvoul receptions of our Eucharistic Lord. go away unchanged, unimproved, unnlindful of thzir duties to God, sell‘, and fellow-man? The purpose of the Retreat is to help us to lead better lives, to fulhll better the duties that are ours, to make us love God more and to serve Him more faithfully, to bring as eventually to Him Who is Eternal Happiness. The Retreat-Muster hopes that he sends his retreatants back to their homes butter sons of their Heavenly Father, better busbnnds and fathers, better parishioners and citizens. We do not expect (even though we sometimes hope for) the miraculous. We know that habits of ' g ‘ "‘ are not easily eradlcatcd, but we do hope and work for and pray that all will go away just 2 little improved for their weekend with God. Will 5:: RED AGAIN If the good pastor is right, if some of our retreatants are not good Catholics, if some are not seen, or too infrequently seen, at Holy Mass and at the Communion railings of their parish churches, I expect my face will be red again-not flushed as before, but blushed to learn that the graces God so generously channeled through the spiritual exercises of the -retreat have been so ignored, so wasted. or so quickly dissipated. May we have no so-called “Retreat-House Catholics"!
