The Spirit of the Masses - Peter Maurin

                                                                 By Fritz Eichenberg

1. The central act of the devotional life in the Catholic Church

          is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

2. The sacrifice of the Mass is

          the unbloody repetition

          of the Sacrifice of the Cross.

3. On the Cross of Calvary Christ gave

          His life to redeem the world.

4. The life of Christ was a life of sacrifice.

5. The life of a Christian must be a life of sacrifice.

6. We cannot imitate the sacrifice

          of Christ on Calvary

          by trying to get all we can.

7. We can only imitate the sacrifice

          of Christ on Calvary

          by trying to give all we can.

                                                       - Peter Maurin
