 the saint  God  says:  "  Enter  into  thy  rest,  thou  (the soul),  and  the  arc  of  thy  sanctification  (the  body)." That was  the  object  of  Christ's  coming  after  all,  viz., to show  us  our  truest  destiny  is  to  be  born  like  Him, to live,  to  suffer,  to  do  good  for  others  and  for  God, to die  and  gloriously  rise  again. We are  to  Him what Jacob  was  to  Esau — we  cling  to  His  feet emerging from  the  womb  of  mother  earth. He is  the anointed dove  sent  forth  by  God,  as  pigeon  fanciers do, to  lead  back  to  the  dovecote  His  wayward  companions with  the  odor  of  His  ointments. He is  the head and  we  the  members  of  His  mystic  body  and certainly the  head  and  members  will  not  remain  forever disunited. Indeed, if  we  are  destined  not  to rise  again,  the  whole  reason  of  Christ's  birth  and death and  Resurrection  disappears,  so  that  St.  Paul justly argues  that  if  the  dead  rise  not  again,  neither is Christ  risen. But since  Christ  rose,  as  we  have proved, our  failure  to  arise  will  be  because  Christ either cannot  or  will  not  raise  us  up. That He  can is evident,  for  He  performed  the  vastly  greater miracle of  raising  up  Himself. To lift  another  from earth is  hardly  wonderful,  to  lift  oneself  aloft  without support is  marvellous. Or will  we  say,  perhaps,  that Adam's power  to  drag  us  down  to  death  was  greater than Christ's  to  restore  our  immortality? No, Christ can resuscitate  us  and  He  will. " Father,"  He  says, " I  will  that  where  I  am  they  also  whom  Thou  hast given  Me  may  be  with  Me,  that  they  may  see  My glory." He bids  us  follow  Him,  indeed,  but  not merely to  the  cross  on  Calvary,  but  beyond  it  into
