Huyen de la Verdad Sobre la VidaMiami, — (NC)— "Los dirigentes

que tratan con el tema del aborto no de-ben caer en el error de los escribas y fa-riseos y huir de la verdad," dijo elObispo Thomas Kelly en la II Peregri-nacion Anual por Respeto a la Vida delpasado Domingo 23 de Marzo.

El Obispo Kelly, Secretario Gene-ral de la Conferencia Nacional de Obis-pos Catolicos, tuvo a su cargo la Ho-milia en la Misa bilingue celebrada enel Marine Stadium de Miami con moti-vo de la Peregrinacion. El Evangeliodel dia San Juan 8, 1-11 es el que tratade los escribas y fariseos que se acer-can a Jesus para pedir su opinion sobrela mujer adultera que debe ser apedre-ada a muerte segiin la ley y repitio laspalabras de Jesus: "El que este libre depecado que lance la primera piedra."Los fariseos y escribas se alejaron dealii porque no querian oir la verdad, di-jo el Obispo.

"Hoy los contemporaneos equiva-lentes de los 'ancianos' de entonces, amenudp vuelven la espalda y huyen dela verdad acerca de la vida humana''.

"Me refiero a personas de influen-cia y prestigio, los que hacen opinionpublica, juristas y legisladores. Quierodecir hombres y mujeres en posicionesde responsabilidad publica, quienesalegan que ellos personalmente estanopuestos al aborto pero cuya posicionno se extiende hasta hacer algo para de-salentar y prevenir el aborto", recalcoel Obispo.

Senalo que el juicio de Cristo en elcaso de la aultera tambien se aplica anosotros. Que tambien nosotros tene-mos nuestros pecados de que dar cuen-ta. "La rectitud propia no tiene lugar

en la causa por la vida ni en ningunabuena causa." Termino con las ora-ciones de los fieles rogando por lacausa.

Para quienes nos hemos reunido enla tarde de hoy para dar testimonio denuestra lucha por preserver la vida entodas sus formas, nuestro apoyo y de-dicacion en favor de la causa del respe-to a la vida.no puede terminar aqui.

Sin embargo, la insensibilidad mo-ral reflejada, no solo en la practica delaborto sino en la indiferencia y hasta laaprobacion con la cual muchos conside-ran este mal, pudiera muy facilmentedesalentarnos y hasta hacernos perder

la esperanza de conseguir cambiar estasea escuchado y seguido;---para que no traicionemos la rectitudde nuestra causa con el desatino de laauto-virtuosidad;-—para que la vida humana sea apre-ciada y valorada como el don quees;—-y para que nosotros y todo el mundorecibamos en la familia humana anuestros hermanos y hermanas no naci-dos con la misma generosidad y con elmismo celo por su bienestar y futuroque sentimos por nosotros mismos, pa-ra que de esta manera podamos verda-deramente ser "un pueblo al cual Dioscreo para si mismo y para cantar sus

alabanzas."situacion. Se nos aconseja...se nos pre-siona... a no involucrarnos, a no meter-nos, a permanecer callados e inmovilesante la matanza de los no nacidos. Perono podemos permanecer pasivos. No esposible hacerlo. Al contrario, como di-jera el Santo Padre, "Debemos ser con-tados cada vez que la vida humana seaamenazada."

Oremos entonces...— para que nuestra nacion y nuestromundo rechace la muerte y busque lavida;—- para que el mensaje de Cristo queune la compasion con la verdad moral

de San Salvador

Piden Los Fieles MasEscuelas Catolicas

San Salvador, —(NC)— ElArzobispo de San Salvador,Mons. Oscar A. Romero fueasesinado el pasado lunes 24de Marzo en horas de la tardemientras oficiaba Misa en elaniversario de la muerte de lamadre del director del diarioEl Independiente, quien esacusado de izquierdizante.

El Arzobispo Romero, de62 anos de edad, fue nominadoel ano pasado junto con MadreTeresa para el premio No'bel dela Paz por su defensa de los de-rechos humanos en el Salva-dor. Ademas era muy conocidopor sus ardientes sermones endefensa de los destituidos y loscampesinos. Ultimamentehabia dedicado todo su esfuer-zo a lograr la paz entre los ban-dos politicos que luchan entresi y que han ocasionado cente-nares de victimas.

El Arzobispo no era bienvisto por ninguno de los gru-pos ni la derecha fanatizadadel gobierno ni la izquierda no

menos fanatica y de ambashabia recibido amenazas.

La muerte del Arzobispo acausado grandes inquietudesen el pueblo que teme se desateuna ola de violencia por estesuceso. Las ultimas palabrasdel Arzobispo Romero fueronde perdon para sus asesinos.

Por Gerard E. Sherry

La necesidad absolute demejor calidad educacional y lareputaci6n de las escuelas Ca-tolicas en este respecto ha sidola causa del aumento de la de-manda por mas escuelas en elarea Arquidiocesana.

Este es el punto de vistadel Padre Vincent T. Kelly,Superintendente de Escuelasde la Arquidiocesis de Miami,quien puede presentar unaenorme cantidad de evidenciaspara probarlo.

Padre Kelly dice que hastano hace mucho tiempo se pre-guntaban muchos sobre la con-tinuidad del sistema de Es-cuelas Catolicas, especial-mente en el Sur, donde era casinuevo; no habian bastantesprogramas y ademas habiamuchos nuevos residentes enel area.

"Despue's de que la at-mosfera creada por el ConcilioVaticano II se asento" dice P.Kelly, "la gente comenz6 adarse cuenta de lo que es im-portante y vieron la educacioncatolica como un viable medio,que es un servicio a la Iglesia ypara la comunidad. Se dieron

P. Kellycuenta que la educaci6n catoli-ca proveia ante todo, valoresreligiosos y despues, ofreciaun tremendo campo competiti-vo para el estudiante; por ulti-mo, yo creo que proveia tam-bian un enfasis en la disciplineque estaba mas o menos desin-tegradaen la mayoria de los sis-temas escolares de la Nacion.

"En la Arquidibcesis deMiami, en los ultimos cinco

anos ha habido una mayor de-manda por educaci6n catolica.Esto se debe a varios facto res;primero, el crecimiento delarea; segundo, creo que el pro-bado merito de las escuelas; ytercero, la poblacidn Hispanade Dade County, especial-mente por su tradicion es dese-osa de una educacion Catolica.La demanda, por ello.es grean-de. En la parte este de Dadeesto es un factor determinante.

"En los tres Condadosmas grandes, Dade, Broward yPalm Beach, en sus areas occi-dentales, no estamos llenandoen estos momentos la necesi-dad de las gentes que pideneducacion catolica. De hecho,es uno de mis mas agonizantesmomentos cuando tengo queresponderles "no ahora, masadelante."

"Tomemos como ejemplola Parroquia de St. Kevin en laseccion mas al oeste de Dade.Los pastores estan de-sarrollando una escuela ele-mental, idea que tuvieron unassemanas atras, y en los prime-ros diez dias de registracion nosolo excedieron la capacidad

QQustto&m cottesta

Domingo de RamosEn el Siglo IV se leia en Jerusalen, en el Domingo de

Ramos, el pasaje Evangelico de la entrada triunfal de Je-sus. Y el Obispo montado en un asno hacia el recorrido ro-deado de la muchedumbre que llevaba ramos en sus manosy cantaban himnos a Cristo Rey.

Los Cristianos hoy, haciendonos eco de la tradicion delpueblo de Jerusalen, y en la plenitud de nuestra fe, como elpueblo de entonces tambien cantamos y aclamamos a Cris-to como a un triunfador:

"iHosanna al Hijo de David!". Bendito el que viene enel nombre del Senor, el Rey de Israel."

Las palmas de hoy simbolizan, como ayer, el triunfo.Cristo derroto al pecado. Cristo vencio a Satanas y Cristovencio a la muerte.

El es el Mesias prometido. El es la plenitud de las pro-mesas de Dios a su pueblo. A El aclamamos porque El nosda tambien a nosotros el poder de veneer el pecado, y lamuerte. Por eso los Catolicos todos aclamamos a Cristo.El triunfo y con El triunfamos nosotros.

"iHosanna al Hijo de David. Bendito el que viene ennombre del Senor, Rey de Israel!"

Por Jos6 P. Alonso

El pasado Lunes 17 deMarzo, en el salon de la IglesiaCatedral de Santa Maria, sereunieron un gran numero desacerdotes de la Arquidioce-sis, invitados por el Arzobispopara escuchar el mensaje delRvdo. Padre Alvin A. Illig,CSP, Director del Comite paraEvangelizacion de la Confe-rencia Nacional de Obispos.Estaba Tambien presenteMons. Agustin Roman, ObispoAuxiliar.

El programa de mas decinco horas comenzo a las 10 dela manana con un PadreNuestro por el Arzobispo Ed-ward McCarthy y un carinososaludo a todos los asistentes.Dijo unas palabras sobre lacrisis espiritual de familia Ca-tolica alejada y de aquellos queviven sin conocer a Cristo, asicomo la positiva respuesta dela Iglesia al llamado a la Evan-gelizacion.

El P. Illig comenzo pre-guntando-.i"Que es Evangeliza-cion?"

"Simplificando la res-puesta diremos que es la acep-tacion de Jesucristo en la vidade una persona y compartirlocon otros." Explico. "Miamiha abierto su corazon a esteprograma con mucho entusias-mo. La Evangelizacion es unplan para desarrollar en unperiodo largo de tiempo y en-vuelve muchas facetas. Serallevado a cabo a traves de lasparroquias." Los resultadosde estos esfuerzos se reporta-

Padre NickseHablara enCristo ReyLa Parroquia de Cristo

Rey, situada en la Calle 160 yAvenida 112 del S.W., secomplace en invitarles a unamision de Semana Santa bajola direccion del Padre JosePablo Nickras. Dicha misiontendra lugar el lunes, martes, y -miercoles de Semana Santa(Marzo 30 y Abril 1 y 2} comen-zando a las 8:00 p.m. El PadreNickse, conocido predicador ycomentarista de la radio y tele-vision en Miami, disertarasobre tern as de actualidad a laluz del Evnagelio en nuestrostiempos.

P. Alvin Illigran a la Arquidiocesis para conellos hacer un manual que sir-va de guia en el futuro. El Pro-posito de la evangelizacion esla conversion de todos losapartados de la Iglesia y deaquellos que no conocen aCristo plenamente.

CitoCito como ejemplo defe la historia del paraliticoque presenta San Marcos en suEvangelio, Cap. 2, 3-12, quienllevado en una Camilla porcuatro amigos que al no poderacercarse a Jesus y movidospor la fe abrieron un hueco enel techo y le bajaron. Jesus res-pondio a la fe de aquelloshombres curando al paralitico.

Dijo el Padre Illig que porla conversion se alcanza la vi-da de fe cuya finalidad es laque persigue el programa. Peroel exito de la Evangelizaciondescanasa en la mano de Dios.Haciendo un poco de historia delos Evangelios dice que el pri-mer evangelizador, segun elNuevo Testamento, fue unamujer laica, una joven judiaque por fe acepto la voluntadde Dios: Maria, Madre del masgrande evangelizador, Cristo.

Cito el Padre Illig, suma-riamente varios pasajss de laEnciclica de Pablo VI "Evan-gelii Nuntiandi"(el Evangeliodebe Proclamarse) tales como"que el evangelizar significallevar la Buena Nueva a todoslos estratos de la humanidad,para transformarla con suinfluencia, desde adentro y ha-cerla nueva...con la personacomo punto de partida y regre-sando siempre a las relacionesde las personas entre si y de es-tos con Dios...Ellos tienen queser regenerados por un en-cuentro con el Evangelio queno se realizara a menos que elEvangelio sea proclamado".

Continuo diciendo que co-mo dice la Enciclica "el Evan-gelio tiene que ser proclamado,por encima de todo, con el tes-timonio de una Santa vidaCristiana. Tal testimonio esuna silente proclamacion de laBuena Nueva, muy poderosa ymuy efectiva. Todos los Cris-tianos tenemos la obligacionde dar este testimonio y en estaforma ellos pueden ser real-mente evangelizadores.''

Hizo un recuento de las es-tadisticas del survey realizadopor Gallup que arroja un ba-lance extraordinario en loslogros de la Iglesia Catolica delos Estados Unidos pero tam-bien deja ver lo mucho quequeda por hacer.

El Padre Illig es un oradorque hace lucir el tiempo corto.En su disertacion va ameni-zando la exposicion de loshechos con una forma de hu-mor muy personal. Asi, comointroduccion a los frios calcu-los del survey, conto la histo-ria de la inmigracion Catolicaen EE.UU., sus luchas paraconservar su fe y sus cos-tumbres en una atmosfera hos-til.

"En 1776 habia unos30,000 Catolicos bautizados enlas 13 colonias originates; hoy200 anos despues hay 49mi Hones de bautizados catoli-cos en nuestra Nacion. Enaquel entonces los Catolicoseran el 1 por ciento y ahora so-mos un 22 por ciento. Dondehabia un punado de sacerdotesy unos cuantos hermanos yhermanas trabajando en unaIglesia misionera dividida poridiomas nacionalidades y cul-turas hoy tenemos 57,000 sacer-dotes, 130,000 monjas, y 9,000hermanos y varios miles dediaconos permanentes que la-boran en 18,000 parroquias,10,500 escuelas, 1,800 hospita-les y otras instituciones de ca-ridad que forman las 169 dioce-sis en los 50 Estados de la Na-cion."

Indico la necesidad de lie-gar a los sin Iglesia y a los ale-jados. Apunto algunos meto-dos para atraerlos y reco-mendo una serie de experien-cias propias, teniendo en cuen-ta la formacion fisica de cadaparroquia, que pudieran pro-barse; entre ellas el uso delcorreos como hacen los quepromueven ventas directas.Enfatizo la necesidad de unfuerte compromiso en la obrapor parte de los laicos.

Fueron cinco horas deEvangelizacion que corrieronfugaces.

Impacto en Santa Ana, NaranjaFue una formidable expe-

riencia para todo el equipo deImpacto que fue a Naranja ha-ce algunas semanasparaallire-alizar el Impacto No. 50, en lamision de Santa Ana.

Esta mision esta formadapor una pequena Iglesia, muypintoresca, y un salon parro-quial. En este ultimo le dimoslas charlas a los padres y laIglesia tuvo que convertirse enaulas para alojar a los ninos,no fue facil, pero...alii a todose le buscaba arreglo. <,Porquien? pues, por dos monjitasMexicanas Guadalupanas, chFquititas en tamano pero, jQuecorazon mas grande! Tambienun sacerdote espanol quemuchos recordaran de la viejaguardia de Cursillo, el Padre'Lopito', que muy dispuestopara todo, nos dio desde un te-ma de sicologia de ninos, jFan-tastico!, hasta cantarnos unacharrasqueada Mexicana!

<,Que han hecho estasMonjitas y este Sacerdote enNaranja? No tienes mas quellegarte un ratito por la misiony enseguida te das cuenta;iCuanto amor, cuantacomprension humana, amistadverdadera, vida de comuni-dad! Todos estos trabajadoresMexicanos y Chicanos llegan ala mision como llegan a su ca-sa, y con que carino son recibi-

dos y atendidas sus necesida-des. Yo creo que todos los quefuimos, salimos maravilladospor este ambiente tan especialque alii encontramos.

Que pena, que nuestraprensa sensacionalista de hoy,no hable de obras como la deNaranja y de mujeres como lasHermanas Maria Antonieta yMa. de los Angeles, que viajantodos los dias en la mananadesde Miami para pasar el diaen la mision y en los campos delos alrededores, llevando la pa-labra de Dios y la atencion hu-mana a los ma's necesitados, aveces no regresando a la casahasta tarde en la noche, des-pues de una reunion con la ju-ventud o con grupos de matri-monios.

Tambien de un joven sa-cerdote, que consciente de lacrisis de gasolina, va con sumotocicleta lo mismo a ver asus feligreses que a llevar a losninos a un paseo, siempre conun chiste y unas palabras afec-tuosas para todos, con una vi-da dedicada por completo a lamision.

El Impacto y despues otroDomingo de pic-nic connuestros hermanos Mexicanosy Chicanos sera algo que nun-ca olvidare. Nos conocimos,intercambiamos ideas, noscontamos cosas de nuestros

Paises. Comimos frijoles jca-lientes! y tortillas con guaca-mol, y pasteles de guayaba,cafe fuerte..., les contamos concuanto trabajo salimos de Cu-ba comunista para llegar aMiami, y ellos nos dijeron lodificil que es cruzar el rio.

El Domingo, en el pic-nica la orilla de la playa, era-mcs...dos pueblos amigos uni-dos por las circunstancias deia vida o ... la mano de Dios enotro pais extranjero; vibrabanen el ambiente emociones decarino, afecto, amistad, laguitarra tocaba...amigo soyi,tocada por la monjita del habi-to bianco y el sombrero rojo, yel cura con el short verde y lagorra amarilla, le deba vuelta alos "chicos" en su moto. Cuan-ta alegria, cuanto amor, cuantapresencia de Dios, que de segu-ro sonriente y complacido sealegraba con sus hijos de dis-tintas Nacionalidades bajo elmanto de un solo Padre.

Nos despedimos conalegria y tristeza de todos; y denuestros amigos de mesa Josey Maria, no sin antes dejarnuestra palabra de volverpronto, muy pronto, icomono!, nosotros, Impacto, y lasguitarras cantaron entonces,"Senor, me miraste a los ojos ysonriente dijiste mi nombre..."

Mas EsClielaS CatolicaS (VienedelaPag.lA)sino que la duplicaron. £1 re-sultado fue que cuando anali-zamos la situacidn decidimosseria en el mejor interes delpueblo ampliar la escuela auncuando ya estaba siendoconstruida. La Arquididcesisesta ayudando a la Parroquiaenesteasunto."

Padre Kelly dice que enmuchas partes de la Nacidnhan tenido que cerrar escuelasCatolicas pero no en Miamiaunque se hayan consolidadoescuelas. Pocos aflos atrashabia unas cinco escuelas su-periores y a pesar de la conso-lidacidn por las Escuelas Su-periores Centrales construidasno se ha cerrado ninguna es-cuela.

Afiade que hay que ser re-alista y ver que la poblacidn seha movido hacia el oeste. "Miinterpretaci6n de la Iglesia esque tenemos que servir a losfieles donde ellos estan, nodonde pensamos que debieranestar...las escuelas Catolicasestan especialmente comi-sionadas para servir a los Ca-tdlicos" nos expone P. Kelly.

"En los pasados diez anoshemos tratado cuanto se ha po-dido el mantener los costos dematricula dentro de un razo-nable nivel para facilitarsela alcatolico promedio. Los Catdli-cos pobres que desean unaeducacidn catolica para sus hi-jos, dependiendo de la capaci-dad de matricula de la escuelalocal, pueda obtenerla. Yo noquiero ver la educacidn catolicaconvertirse en una entidad eli-tista ni exclusivamente de laalta clase media. Creo que laIglesia esta compuesta sus-tancialmente por gente de laclase media y tambien creo queel sistema escolar de la Iglesiadebe ciertamente servir alpobre asi que estimo que lasprovisiones debidas debenincluirse en los programas. Pe-

ro siendo realistas, si la es-cuela no tiene numero suficien-te de matricula y tiene dificul-tades econdmicas, es obvio queno tendra los recursos paraasistir a los necesitados. Si laescuela tiene una matriculanumerosa y esta en un area pu-diente yo creo que ellos de-bieran , y creo que lo hacen,asistir a los estudiantes necesi-tados."

Padre Kelly relata el casode la Parroquia Corpus Christicomo ejemplo. Hace 20 aflosera una de las mas hermosasde la Didcesis y ahora ha per-didoungran numero de feligre-ses que se han mudado hacia eloeste. Su escuela, muy buena yde gran capacidad ha bajadosolo en los ultimos cinco anosde 462 a 372 alumnos cuyas fa-milias se han mudado. CorpusChristi esta experimentandodificultades financieras.

"La responsabilidad, ladireccidn y la interpretacidn denuestra s escuelas es basica-mente parroquial, pero las es-cuelas en necesidad recibensubsidios". Afiade P. Kelly."La escuela tiene aun que jus-tificar su existencia en una co-munidad particular, aunquesea una que es econdmicamentedesposeida y no pueda real-mente subsistir."

El Padre Kelly es Presi-dente de la Asociacidn de Es-cuelas Privadas y nos dice quela organizacidn proteje sus in-tereses en nivel estatal, le-gislativo y de condado. Todoslos problemas que envuelvanescuelas privadas, protes-tantes tanto como catolicas yotras, son discutidos yacuandosea necesario se busca la pro-teccidn legislativa.

Sobre le personal de las es-cuelas arquidiocesanas decla-ra que actualmente hay 1387maestros laicos, 276 monjas y77 hermanos y sacerdotes; estohace un personal que es 22 por

ciento religioso y 78 por cientolaico.

"Creo que la educacidnCatolica tiene que ser un pro-ceso personalizado", dice, querequiere de quien esta invo*lucrado, pastor, director o ma-estro, religioso o laico, uncompromiso de servicio. Estoes maes que cumplir la obliga-cidn de leer o lo que sea.Compromtete a mostrar inte-res por la persona, y por todoslos problemas de situacionesfamiliares, de sexualidad yaun la ensenanza sobre las dro-gas. Todos estos factores jun-tos hacen mayor la demandapor educacidn Catolica y a suvez hace a la escuela Catolicamas consciente de servir a lagente como ellos son ".

"La Iglesia debe reconocerel hecho de que son los Catoli-cos locales los que piden mesescuelas con oportunidadeseducacionales sobre bases reli-giosas. Esto es lo que nuestropueblo pide y nosotros debe-mos hacer todo cuanto poda-mos por satisfacer esta necesi-dad." Concluyd el P. Kelly.

Ben Sheppard:En Memoria

"Lo conocimos como a un amigo, de quien quedaranpor siempre incontables sus memorias. Pero mas que poresto lo conocimos como un sirviente de la humanidad, enhechos y modos que son demasiado numerosos para con-tarlos todos..." dijo el Obispo Auxiliar John Nevins en supanegirico sobre el Dr. Ben Sheppard en la Misa celebradaen la Catedral de Miami.

La comunidad del Sur de la Florida esta de duelo. BenSheppard. dirigente laico Catolico y fundador de variasagencias de caridad y miembro de la Junta Escolar de DadeCounty, ha dejado de existir fisicamente. pero su laborsuprahumana, motivada siempre por el insaciable afah dedarse a los que sufren, por su caudal de amor cristiano<quedara como el monumento a su memoria que el mismoerigio. Paladin de los abandonados, de los sufridos y de losenfermos fue el sirviente de todos sin acordarse de si mis-mo.En sus empenos creo la Clinica San Lucas para el trata-miento de los adictos a drogas, la Clinica Sheppard paraayudar a las jovenes futuras madres no casadas y un hogarpara muchachos escapados de su familia, otro para ex-prisioneros, otro mas para los alcoholicos y una clinica pa-ra atencidn de los desposeidos enfermos.

Repitiendo las palabras de Monsenor Nevins en su pa-negirico: "Bien hecho, fiel y buen sirviente. Entra ahora agozar con tu Senor." O' Senor, concedele eterno descanso yque tu luz perpetua brille sobre el. Descanse en paz. Amen.

'Sacrilegious Assassination1SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador

—(NC) — Archbishop Oscar Romeroof San Salvador was killed by anassassin's bullet as he celebrated amemorial Mass, and the death of hisfiery defender of the poor has sentshock waves beyond this violence-torn Central American Nation.

"Let's be united in faith andhope as we pray for Sarita and forourselves," were his last words ashe fell, hit in the heart by a bulletfired from a side window in the smallchapel of Divine ProvidenceHospital, according to reports fromthe Archdiocese of San Salvador.

The archbishop resided in anapartment behind the chapel.

Sarita was the mother of editorJorge Pinto of the newspaper ElIndependiente and a personal friendof the archbishop. She had died ayear ago. Only members of the Pintofamily and a few patients were at thechapel for the early evening Mass

-Abp. McCarthy, -On Slaying

"Archbishop Romero's tragicdeath was the price a brave manpaid to be true to his conscience inchampioning the cause of humanrights.

"I deplore the outrageous,senseless use of violence andterrorism to silence or to createcontroversy.

"In death, may the Arch-bishop's voice sound an evenmore powerful, sobering call tojustice and peace. May hisrestless soul have now reachedthe tranquil presence of Jesus,the Prince of Peace.

March 24.The killing was a "sacrilegious

assassination" and a "detestablecrime," said Pope John Paul II.

The pope also asked the peopleof El Salvador to "put away foreverall displays of mean violence andvengence."

The pope's message in Spanishwas contained in a cable of con-dolence to Bishop Jose EduardoAlvarez , Amirez of San Miguel,president of the El SalvadorBishops' Conference.

The cable was signed by thepope. Normally, a cable on the deathof a high-ranking churchman issigned by Cardinal AgostinoCasaroli, papal secretary of state.

According to archdiocesansources, the archbishop had almostfinished his homily when a singleshot was heard and the archbishopfell to the ground near the altar.Then two more shots were fired inthe air at the entrance to force thepeople to lie down on the floor. Fourmiddle-aged men were seenescaping in a red compact car.

Laity Response EnthusiasticBy GERARD E. SHERRY

One of the most encouragingthings about the U.S. Bishops'Program of Evangelization is "theenthusiastic response of the averagelaity — and this because they feelthe Church has to have some type ofoutreach- "

The nation's leadingproponement of evangelization,Paulist Father, Alvin Illig, said thislast week in an interview after hevisited several parishes throughoutthe Archdiocese to promote his basictheme that "evangelization in itssimplest terms means accept Christinto your life allowing him to live inyou and then sharing him."

"You enrich yourself to share,"Father Illig said, "and one of the

things that has been missing in thelife of the active Catholic communityto a large extent has been thatevangelical missionary flavourabout some of the things we do. Youknow the great challenge (ranklysimplified) of the American CatholicChurch in the first 200 years of ourexistence.

"IT WAS THE preservation andthe nurturing of the Faith of animmigrant people in a hostilesociety, and we went from 30,000) in1776 to 63 million baptized Catholicsin 1980. One percent to thirty percentof people who say they have Catholicreligious preference.

Emigration from Europe for allpractical purposes is over.

"The great challenge ofemigration is from the South — and

that is the challenge for the people inthe U.S. We are here to stay — weare not going away. We have seenthe emergence of new Catholic laityin the past 25-30 years — I would notsay a better laity, but they aredifferent immigrant laity — they areeducated, they are part of the warfand woof of society — they are inupward, mobile positions.

"They are not laboring people —they are almost middle-managementpeople and these people want to beengaged in the Church community.Secondly, this new Catholic laity is afire-tried laity.. We have given ourpeople in the last 15-20 years everyexcuse to leave — quarrels, fights,debates, scandals, the whole smear— about twenty percent of ourpeople have left. The eighty percent

that are still in the pews are a fire-tried people who, like you and me,have had to make an affirmation andre-commitment to Christ, to theChurch, in, the last six-eight-ten-twelve years.

"So what we have now is a bodyof fire-tried people, extremelycapable, who are there voluntarily— they don't have to be there — ifthey don't want to be, and I thinkthey want to be about the building upof the Lord Jesus.

Holy Week rituallythe most dramatic

By MARY MAHERNC News Service

Of all weeks in the Christian liturgical year, Holy Weekis ritually the most dramatic. Scholars of Christian liturgyand drama, such as O.B. Hardison of the Folger ShakespeareLibrary in Washington, repeatedly point out that Christianworship is essentially dramatic. The drama about it is nocome-on into worship.

Holy Week re-enacts the basic human journey throughoften difficult situations into fuller life. It does not speak ofsimple survival. It moves like a great, rich drama towardresolution and wholeness. It does not concentrate unduly onthe tragic elements within the week. Good Friday movesassuredly toward the fuller life available on Easter. HolySaturday initiates people whose intent it is to live thejourney through baptism.

THIS CONTINUITY - through death to life - givesrise to this refelction: Christian life is a non-segmentedreality. Ups are not opposite of downs; hard times not theantithesis of good times; loss is not the other side of fullness.All work together unto fullness. We need not be naive to saythat while, at the same time, we know that some downs donot lead in our lives to ups, some loss never makes fuller lifeand hard times often grow progressively harder for thosewho already suffer. Yet, with the help of one's humanbrothers and sisters, the possibility of fuller life is there in allthe hard things of life. But also, unlike the geometricprinciple, life always mysteriously equals more than the sumof its parts. The lives of great saints, artists and poetsparticipate in this mystery — by living fully, often perilouslyand in great pain, they left the world a fullness it would nototherwise know.

This life, out from the midst of death, characterizes allmajor world religions. The ancient Greeks saw the earth asseasonally barren and dead and, by ritual re-enactments,

LENTinvoked their gods to make spring and fruitfulness (life) comeagain in their natural, cyclic patterns. Initiation rites of allearly peoples stressed that new life comes out of thenecessary death to old patterns. Christians this weekenter the richest drama in their history. They liturgicallyrelive and participate in the death-unto-life of Jesus whomthey call Lord. It is a solemn, dramatic season. More, it is acall to the deepest level of sacredness in the human order.Christians are called into the same patterns that Jesus lived.They are promised that they will participate in grace, a sharein the life of God.

DURING THIS week Christian communities pledgethat they will stand to give witness, support with brotherlyconcern those who will be initiated into the community in theHoly Saturday liturgy. That is a pledge not to be takenlightly. The communities themselves will be signs or anti-signs of the faith which the baptized will promise. If a parishtakes the life of beatitude in its midst lightly or lives inisolation from much of the world's hunger and thirst forjustice, the initiates will not be supported.

Christian faith is, by its nature, communal. No one canbelieve alone. That fact becomes clearer and clearer in ourtime. In the economy of salvation people can expect thattheir pain and the anguish of passover to newer life will beless harsh because they will be nourished by other people'sconcern for them. That can be true only if Christians un-derstand the nature of this Holy Week and live out theirbelief that all humans are worthy of great love and respect.

Light and darkness dramatically symbolize the innerdimensions of human experience this week. Only thecourageous will live the ritual with their hearts. It is up tothe communities we live in to remind us this week of our ownhearts and how the Lord who rises speaks to human life as hebursts rock and stone, mostly those within us.

Thousands Rally, Sing for LifeBy ROBERT O'STEEN"No one ever has the

authority to destroy unbornlife!" Bishop Thomas Kellyproclaimed forcefully,quoting the words of PopeJohn Paul II.

The thousands who hadcome from all over the state tothe Second Annual FloridaPilgrimage for Life came totheir feet and filled the MiamiMarine Stadium with ap-plause. In the backgroundboaters skimmed theturquoise waters of BiscayneBay and thousands of famlieslining the nearby shores ofRickenbacker •• Causeway,picniced and sailed in theirown unofficial celebration oflife on a sunny Sunday af-

ternoon.For an hour prior to the

Mass a musical celebrationwas lead by various musicalgroups and choruses fromthroughout the Miami areaand the State, singing inEnglish, Spanish and HaitianCreole.

Leaders dealing with theabortion issue must not fallinto the mistake of the scribesand pharisees and walk awayfrom the truth, Bishop Kellysaid.

Bishop Kelly, generalsecretary of the NationalConference of CatholicBishops, gave the homily atthe bilingual Mass.

The bishop cited theGospel reading of the day, in

which scribes and phariseesquestioned Jesus about awoman ordered to be stoned,then left without listeningafter Jesus said, "Let theman among you who has nosin be the first to cast a stoneat her."

"They drifted awaybecause they did not want tohear the truth," the bishopssaid.

"Today the con-temporary equivalents of'elders' are often the first toturn their backs and walkaway from the truth abouthuman life," Bishop Kellysaid.

"I MEAN people of in-fluence and prestige, opinion-makers, jurists and

legislators. I mean men andwomen in positions of publicresponsibility who say theyare personally opposed toabortion but whose op-position somehow does notextend to doing anything todiscourage or preventabortion.

" I mean those whocontinue to speak wistfully ofabortion as a tragic dilemmaat a time when legalizedabortion in the United Stateshas reached epidemicproportions — 1.4 millionannually, at last count."

The bishop said Jesus'reminder to the scribes andpharisees "applies to us, too.We have our own sinfulness toaccount for. Self-

"But that is no reason forus to be silent or equivocal,"Bishop Kelly said, "abouteither abortion or the positionof those who advocate ortolerate it. Abortion is evil.The policy of those who ad-vocate or tolerate it reflectsmoral obtuseness at best.

the United States to "prohibitthe giving of military aid tothe Salvadorean govern-ment" and guarantee that theUnited States would not"intervene, directly or in-directly, with military,economic, diplomatic or otherpressures to determine thedestiny of the Salvadoreanpeople."

"By this letter," BishopKelly wrote, "I wish to echothe archbishop's plea, thistime from within the church inthe United States."

Bishop Kelly said in-formation being received bythe USCC from the church inEl Salvador showed that thegovernment was not caughtbetween extremists of left andright but was "itself aninstrument of terror andrepression, quite unable towin the political supportneeded to govern in peace."

Archbishop Romero'sposition also had received thesupport of Archbishop JohnR. Quinn of San Francisco,USCC president.

"We will be doing all wecan through the U.S. CatholicConference in Washington tosee that your advice to thepresident is followed," Arch-bishop Quinn wrote to Arch-bishop Romero before he waskilled.

"We are aware of thecourageous, indeed propheticpositions you have takenduring this time of greatsuffering and struggle for thepeople of El Salvador," Arch-bishop Quinn added.

Pope: 'Sacrilegious Assassination'(Continued fromPagel)Several times Archbishop

Romero reported receivingdeath threats. Early inMarch, at the time he wasa w a r d e d S w e d e n ' sEcumenical Action- peaceprice, he said there was anattempt to mUrder him at thecathedral. He added that 7^sticks of dynamite had beendiscovered hidden in thesacristy, enough to destroythe church and several blocksof houses in the populousneighborhood.

His last homily at theMass for Mrs. Pinto gave aChristian view of death andalso mentioned his risks.Following are some excerpts:

"ONE CANNOT lovehimself so much that he

avoids all risk of life. He whoavoids danger loses his life,but he who for thelove of Christ gives himself toservice to the neighbors willlive. The grain of wheat doesnot die but lives forever in thecrops."

"This world, tarnished bysin, will pass. God teaches usthat he has prepared a newabode, a new land of justiceand blessings to the heart'scontent and desire for peace.The children of God willresurrect in Christ."

is attacked, we will stand upand proclaim that no one everhas the authority to destroyunborn life.' " .

The ultimate prize, .as St.Paul points out is "life onhigh in Christ Jesus," thebishop said. "But this doesnot eliminate the effort tofoster and protect human lifeand all the goods of the humanperson here and now. Indeedthe reverse is true."

PERHAPS SOMEChristians have been tooother-worldly, while othershave been too secular, thebishops said, but it is wrong to

suggest that either is true ofChristianity itself.

"To live as a Christianmeans to defend and 'fosterhuman goods for the sake of afulfillment which begins hereand now and comes to finalcompletion in eternal life withGod.

"Concern for human lifeand the goods of humanpersons must be consistentand all encompassing,"Bishop Kelly said. "It musttake in human life at everystage and in all its conditionsand aspects.

"We pray, then, that burnation and our world will turn

away from death and turn tolife; that Christ's messagecoupling compassion withcommitment to moral truthwill be heard and heeded;that we will not betray therighteousness of our cause bythe folly of self-righteousness; that humanlife will be esteemed andcherished as the prize it is;and that we and all personswill generously welcome ourunborn brothers and sistersinto the human family, ascommitted to their well-beingand fulfillment as we are toour own so that with them wemay truly be 'the peoplewhom God formed for himself,

that they might announce hispraise.' "

During the Offertory,dozens of roses were handedout to a procession of in-dividuals representing allphases of life, the young, theold, the lame, famlies,various ethnic and culturalgroups.

Earlier, at a pro-lifeluncheon sponsored by theKnights of Columbus, FatherRobert Lynch, Rector-president of St. John VianneySeminary, spoke of the pro-life campaign's history in the -wake of the Supreme Court'shistoric ruling.

"For eight long yearsnow, they (prolifers) havewatched, they have waited,but most of all they haveworked. They have workedand worked to build acoalition of decent humanbeings who believe that life issacred, that it is truly worthyof protection, that abortion isa travesty, that it is atravesty precisely because itturns the holy shrine of themother's womb into thewicked embodiment of thechild's tomb.''

Priest Likes Helping 'Those at Bottom'The Humor of

Father O'Connor

By Rachel Garfield"There is a very thin line

that separates prisoners fromthe rest of us," says FatherJohn H. O'Connor, who hasbeeh designated the HomeNews' Citizen of the Week.

Father O'Connor, who hasdevoted decades of his 50

years as a priest, counselingmale and female prisoners,drug addicts and alcoholics,points to three factors whichcould find any of the rest of usin prison.

These are "a different en-vironment, a different set ofvalues and a slightly differentoutlook,"

Devout in his Catholicfaith, the priest's ministrynevertheless reaches aboveand beyond denominations.Protestants and Jews speak ofhim as a universal man whohas aroused their own eternalspark.

Roger Shaw, who worked

with him in the highlysuccessful Operation Self-Help, one of the first drugtherapy centers in DadeCounty and a state andnational model, says: "He'sGod's person. He totally giveshis whole life to people. He ishis brother's keeper."

Father Thomas J. Rynne ofSt. John the Apostle CatholicChurch, .where Father O'Con-nor helps with Masses,

recalled the beginnings of-Operation Self-Help.

A young priest, Father SeanO'Sullivan, had shared withFather O'Connor what he feltwas a deep need in the.community — help for youthscaught irf the drug net andsupport for their parents aswell.

"He could have remindedFather O'Sullivan that hisduties lay with the Church,but instead encouraged himwith the rehabilitationprogram," said Father Rynne.

After suffering a hip frac-ture in an auto accident in'Boston, Father O'Connor

came to Hialeah in 1969seeking to retire in a warmclimate.

His years of active ministry,especially among prisonersand alcoholics, made retire-ment impossible. He led theOperation Self-Help work foreight years until Federal

money dried up and the groupwas absorbed by the NationalInstitute of Mental Health.

Now a vigorous 75, with hisgolden jubilee set for April 11,Father O'Connor is moreactive than ever. He says Massat St. John's and St. Cecilia'sChurches; he is chaplain ofOptimists International,Florida District, and he goeswherever he is asked.

But his most devotedministry is with priosners andthose who are "down." Heserves at Raiford, South DadeFederal and the women'sprison in Broward County.

"My idea in priestly life," hesaid, "was to work with theones that most people didn'twant to touch,, the ones at thebottom of the ladder. I wasn'tinterested in saving the saved.The ones, the world looksdown on were my prime ob-ject."

By Rachel Garfield

Because he's Irish and has asense of humor, we figuredthat after 30 or 40 years ofprison work. Father O'Con-nor must have a funny anec-dote or two in him. We askedand we got. Here are a fewfrom the Father's rich store.

» • »When Father O'Connor

lamented to a prisoner that avaluable stamp collection hadbeen stolen from him in thediocese, the convict askedwhere he'd lived.

"Massachusetts," was theanswer.

"I didn't to it," swore theinmate. "Never was up there."It turned out that he was amaster thief, specializing in

stamps.• » •

Always looking for thegood in souls, the Fatheradmired a female prisoner'sfine handwriting. The answerwas: "Don't tell me that.That's how I got in here."

The lady was a talentedforger, particularly on checksof priests.

A favorite old drunk of theFather confided that he need-ed money to travel to NewHampshire where a job pluck-ing chickens awaited him.

"And so you thought you'dstart practicing on me?"replied Father John.

MATTER OF OPINIONtftora M M ba ao c n o M n p . no fat- toMw fcoawt fcjiaanat of waaMad. a«m fti'trttlit. (2CortnlMaia«:1-t)

An Appeal To Reason And CharityWriting a final editorial for any news-

paper is a difficult task for any editor. It iseven more difficult for me because I havebeen responsible for the editorial policiesof this newspaper for the past 18 months.First I want to apologize for any offenseor hurt my views may have inflicted uponsome of the readership-but, I do notapologize for the views themselves. This,because I believe they were correct andquite Catholic views on a variety of NOWissues.

The basic function of the CatholicPress is to inform and instruct-and it cantake many directions. Some of our readershave objected to what they have termed"advocacy journalism". If by that theymean advocacy of the poor and oppressed,senior citizens and the unemployed, migrantworkers and their right to collectivebargaining, an evenhanded approach towomen's rights in and out of the Church,and penetrative coverage of ALL issuesinvolved in right to life-then I willinglyplead guilty.

The Catholic Press has an obligationto help the Church lead the civic communityin the formation of standards of moralityand in the furthering of social and civicjustice. If the Catholic Press takes on thejob of promoting the documents of Vatican II,if it attempts to encourage the implemen-tation of reform and renewal within theChurch and within the world it wil lnotbe popular. It will meet heavy resistancefrom many who buy its papers or whohave them sent free from parish funds.In this it will be suffering in no less a mannerthan the original Evangelists whose Gospelripples eventually created giant wavessweeping across the world.

Given the mood of the average Catholic,and his or her personal fears of the implicationsof the Church's mission of service today,is there any hope for the Catholic Press?Yes! The two essential ingredients forsuccess are courage and perseverence.The courage to discard outmoded theoriesand a willingness to persevere even ifever haunted by the spector of failure.

There must be the constant searchfor new ideas-for new methods and tech-niques in getting across the Gospel message.Documents of Vatican II still must bereduced to manageable language andpresented in attractive form so that theywill be read, studied and acted upon atevery level of the Church. Papal Encyclicalsand Hierarchial pronouncements must bewritten and interpreted for the ordinaryCatholics in terms they can understand.

The healthy diversity, permitted withinthe Church (outside of faith and morals)must be encouraged editorially, and in thePage 81 Miami, Honda / THE VOICE / Friday, March 28,1980

presentation of news and events. DoctrinaireLiberal ism and doctr inaire Conservat ismmust be eliminated from the pages of theCatholic Press. They must be replacedby firm and competent diverse opinionswhich iciiect faith, hope and charity-basedon mutual respect between those inauthority and the rest of the People ofGod.

We must avoid becoming boggeddown in personalities and concentrate onthe issues-not only those which unite us,but also those which divide and confuseus. The Catholic editor must take on theclothes of the "New Man," imbued withChristian optimism, founded on a deepspirituality and genuine love for the Churchand his fellow man.

The obvious increase in the Church'sinterest and participation in the affairsof the civic community bewilders andfrustrates many. Religious involvement insocial issues and problems has createda backlash. Catholics have, often for thefirst time, been asked to give public witnessto their Christian commitment, but some ofour readers balk; this is not their cup oftea-not part of their upbringing.

Vatican Council II cleaned away thecenturies of dust which had obscuredmuch of the masterpiece of Christianity-but this has disturbed the defenders of thestatus quo. The changes in the Churchalso have made great demads upon priestsbut more especially on pastors-this, notonly in the cities and the suburbs, buteven in the isolated rural and mountainx

areas of our country. For many, it has beena traumatic experience and one for whichquite a number are still not prepared.

It is also true that much of the pre-Conciliar Catholic Press was in the forefrontof demands for an updating, and a reformand renewal within the Church. Now thatthis is taking place, those who defend thestatus quo, who resent change, or think i f stoo fast, or unneeded, have found theCatholic Press to be a worthy scapegoatupon which to vent their dissatisfactions.

It is interesting to observe that thispresent era of pressure groups is one thatrepeats the first decisive one in our Churchhistory-the crisis of universality, of Catholicism.The charity of Christ is wide enough toembrace the whole of the modern world,but is the charity of Christians wide enough?Is our charity universal? It is quite pertinentto ask this question today because thereare some within the Church who are notfree from bias; who refuse to learn thelessons of history. They are not interestedin the prudential judgments of other; theyhave fixed minds and fixed programs. Moreimportant, although they profess to speak

for or with the Church, they do not alwaysthink with it.

Our universal charity must embracethe currents of the present as well as thecurrents of the past. The Church is opento all the currents of the present, whichare not opposed to Divine Law. The Churchis not only willing to speak all languages,it also listens to them. The Church is ableto recognize all people who talk and actwithin the framework of essential Christiandogma. We can take our cue from St. Paulwho wanted liberty in all things. We canalso take refuge in the code of Canon Lawthet favors always (and commands all tofavor) the side of liberty in disputedinterpretations of the law.

Let the universality of our Catholicdoctrine unify us as a group. While weshould hold firmly to our sincere viewpoints,let us advance them in due charity. Inour political action, let us refrain fromgiving it a Catholic label when we knowthat it is not; in our political action, letus use the Church only as a means ofdirecting our thinking through Christ-likechannels of justice and charity. And indemanding justice for ourselves, let usnever forget that those with whom wediffer have an equal right to justice.Outside of faith and morals, there are avariety of prudential judgments permittedwithin the Church. What must never beforgotten is that there can be no differenceson the fundamentals of Christian doctrine.It is in this area of communications thatThe Voice along with the rest of theCatholic Press must be a courageous andforthright vehicle of reconciliation.

"SLOW POWN, FRANK. VOU'RE LIVING TOO FAST.'.

We Should Face Death Positively

Holy Week has a way of puttingus in a reflective mood about theserious things of life. The Church'semphasis on the Paschal Mysterymeans she does not ask us to dwell onGood Friday, Christ's death only,but to keep our eyes on the greatvictory over death in theResurrection.

But it behooves us well now andthen to consider the mystery of deathitself. Holy Week seems to create agood atmosphere for this. We caneasily imagine the death of others,but it is difficult to see ourselves nolonger a part of this earth. And yet"It is appointed unto man once todie," sooner or later.

Some of us understandably donot want to reflect on death becausewe connect it with pain and sufferingand becoming a burden on others.We have good reason to fear theenormous expense of being sick foran extended period in a hospital. \

Then too,we have a chilling fearof the unknown.What does await us?How do we really stand with God?Have We deceived ourselves? Arewe modern pharisees, outwardlypeople of faith, but inwardly notunited with God? Is it all a pipedream of unreality and weirdness?

Such anxieties usually clear upwhen faith is given a transfusion bymore effort in prayer and a more

fervent approach to Confession andHoly Communion. This, too, is wherereading the Gospels brings an in-fusion of confidence in God'spromises.

WE MUST remember that acertain fear of death is good andhealthy, and even necessary. St.Augustine said, "We should dealwith death as we act with God. Thatis, as we love God, yet still fear him,so we should fear death, yet still loveit...We can look on it with peacebecause of what it promises..."

Here is something very sadwhich complicates the matter ofdeath. Sometimes there is a con-spiracy within a family to withholdknowledge of impending death froma loved one. Some consider this anact of kdindness, an act of love, andtoo often go to the tragic length ofletting a person slip into eternitywithout giving him a chance to gethis soul in order. This surely is notkindness. If a family understandsthe remarkable good effects of theSacrament of Anointing of the Sick— which used to be called ExtremeUnction — they would be mostanxious to have the patient receivethe peace and consolation andstrength of this great gift of God.Priests have learned that fear is inthe family, not the sick person, whodesperately wants help.

There is another situation inwhich some push away the realityof death's visit, because they are noton good terms with God. They havebroken with him, temporarily, theyreason. They will make it up beforedeath, break with sin and get backthe grace of God.

This is vain wishful thinking fortwo reasons.

FIRST, we live in a time ofsudden death — when one goes fromperfect health to death in an instanton a highway. Christ called the richman a fool, not because he was richor made good use of his brains, butbecause he acted as if he was goingto live forever on this earth. "Youfool, this day your soul is demandedof you."

SECONDLY, if one is dependingupon a peaceful, quiet death-bedconcersion, one has not been aroundthe dying very- much. Most peopleabout to die are fogged up withmedication or are irritated withwhat they look on as fuss and botheraround them, bone weary from theefforts made to save them, so thatthe last thing they feel like doing isdigging up the evils of the past. Not afew times did I hear as the very lastwords of a dying person, "Please,Father, don't bother me now-Later." And there was no later.

Isn't the Good Thief on the cross

. B y MSGR. JAMES J. WALSH,

the only incident of a death bedconversion in the Bible?

Good Friday's radiant ray oflight in the midst of all the darknesswas the true understanding of deathit gave us. As a consequence thefollowers of Christ began to acceptdeath, by the grace of God, withpeace and joy.

The appearance of a corpse isvery misleading. There is death inthe sense of the separation of thesoul from the body. There is noannihilation of the person. The soullives on, the body decays. In thesoul, there is no loss of consciousness,but rather there is a far keenerawareness of God.

THE BODY has been like aprison in many ways. Now free, theintellect is sharpened, the will isunswervingly directed where wechoose to go — towards God or awayfrom him. Towards happiness oraway from its source. God'sjudgment is not spoken to a lifelessbody which cannot hear nor yet beunited with him perfectly. But thesoul has this capacity, as soon as itleaves the body, as never before.

We should pray daily for ahappy death. Hundreds of times wehave begged our Lady to help us inthat most important moment. "Prayfor us sinners now and at the hourof our death."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]Minister to ALL

To the Editor:Yesterday I was privileged to attend the

First Diocesan Conference for Separated andDivorced, and to hear the Paulist priest, FatherJames Young proclaim that no clergyman canreally be a follower of Christ, who turns his back,upon, and refuses to minister to all hisparishioners, including those who are separatedand divorced.

Support for this rapidly growing segment ofCatholics is no way to be equated with en-couraging divorce and the breakdown of healthyfamily units. But, as Christ proclaimed Hismission on earth to the divorced and despisedSamaritan woman at the well, so today's followersof Christ must be willing to extend the hand ofhope and welcome to those who have beendeserted by their spouse, and do not need theadded trauma of disertion by their Church asrepresented by the parish priests.

Many parishes have, with the approval oftheir pastors and priests, formed support groupsand outreach programs, servicing the divorcedand separated. I can only challenge those priestswho are still not comfortable with this ministry,and my even be openly hostile, is this attitudeChrist-like? Therese M. Carracino

Backs Family MeetingTo the Editor:

On March 13, I was interviewed concerningFlorida's participation in the White HouseConference on Families. The results of that in-terview were published in several diocesan papers,as well as reported as part of a story by the NCNews Service. The opening paragraph in the NC

News Service article reported that I had"criticized the handling of the White HouseConference on Families at both the state andnational levels." Actually, I intended to criticizeFlorida's failure to follow the national guidelines,not the national effort.

At this state, I have nothing but praise forthe way the conference is being handlednationally. Jim Guy Tucker, the Chairman, andJohn Carr, the Executive Director, and theirxespective Committee and staff, have givensensible leadership to this large and difficultundertaking.

Hopefully, my criticism of the state's effortmight bring about a good participation in thisconference by the States of Florida. Time will tell.

Likes 'Devotedly Yours'To the Editor:

Each week upon the arrival of the Voice Ilook for Archbishop McCarthy letter "DevotedlyYours". It is always interesting, enlightening andquite often humorous.

When the Pope transferred Bishop McCarthyfrom Arizona to Co-Adjutor Archbisop of Miamimy family and I were on vacation. We attendedMass in a most beautiful little Church in FlagstaffArizona. I could not understand why the peoplewere mad (their beloved Bishop was beingtransferred) or were sad because he was going.Now I understand. Arizona's loss has surely beenour gain.

Irrational HumansTo the Editor:

It is uncanny how so many rational human

beings could be so irrational about something soinfinitely serious as abortion. How could so manypeople be lulled into believing that a living em-bryo or fetus is just a glob of a developing humanorganism?

Alone, the number of whimpering, thumb-sucking infants that have been put to deathoutside their mother's womb, and outside the safeguidelines set up by the courts, should tell ussomething.

And why do the abortion advocates insist onmaking a religious issue out of the abortioncontroversy? Is it so hard for them to believe thata deep conviction against abortion can be arrivedat through reason alone?

I am convinced that these people in someway are projecting their own guilt feelings whenthey stump for abortion. They really want tobelieve that they know for certain whether or notthe death of a human being is involved. Someargue that it is better to be dead than unwanted,and mercifully harp on child abuse. They are thegreat Saviours of the world. They are saving allthese unwanted children from having to face thereality of life which they themselves are runningaway from.

One of the reasons given by the Jewishpeople for not resisting the Nazis until it wasmuch too late is that "they just couldn't believewhat was happening, they doubted the truth."

TheSingleAdult

So When

Are You

Going T"Being single doesn't, orshouldn't, mean being solitary,"James Kolar writes. "The basicway in which we are called to re-late to others in the church is as abrother or sister in the Lord."

ByJAMESKOLAR

My father died when I was 1year old. Not long ago, I asked mymother how she managed to getthrough the first few years after hedied. She replied: "I did what I hadto do." That meant working twojobs, raising three children, andcaring for a sick father-in-law.

When I asked who supportedher emotionally during that time, shenamed many of our neighbors andlongtime family friends. She saidthese people had been a real sourceof support for her during the difficulttransition from being married tobeing single.

She also mentioned that, over aperiod of time, she withdrew frommany of the relationships she and myfather had developed with othermarried couples. When I asked why,she replied that it became in-creasingly uncomfortable to be thefifth person at a bridge game, or tobe the only single person at a dinneror social gathering.

Recently I talked with a 25-year-old girl who is intelligent, at-tractive, committed to the Lord, —and single. She told me she couldpredict the live of conversation ather next family gathering. The moresubtle would ask: "What's the nameof the boy you're going with?" Themore open-minded would advise:"It's good to take your time and lookaround before you find the rightone.1' The most direct would simplysay: "When are you going to getmarried and settle down?" Sheconcluded her scenario by notingthat many seem to be suspicious ofthe single person.

During the last 10 years thenumber of single persons aged 25-34

Down?has increased more than 50 percentin the United States and the numberof households headed by singles hasnearly doubled. These facts do littleto ease the suspicion that singles arenot Justin transition to a more stableand fulfilling way of life.Increasingly, the growing number ofsingle people have found themselvescoming up against cultural andsocietal pressures resulting in un-

comfortable and awkwardsituations.

There are several ways for us asa church to respond to singles. First,It is not helpful at all to define peopleby what they are not — in this case,to think of singles as the unmarried.Yet many in our society define thesingle this way.

IT WOULD be more helpful tounderstand that being single can bean important and legitimate call — touse the traditional terms, a state oflife or vocation. The way in whicha person carries out the business ofliving determines the authenticity ofthe call. In the most basic sense, ourcondition before the Lord is single —that is, each of us stands before himas an individual human being.

Second, we often considerpersons in terms of whether they aresingle or married. These con-veninent categories are used toavoid the personal. Yet the focusshould be on the person.

Every person struggles withintimacy, hopes, fears, sexuality,loneliness, security. These deeplypersonal struggles are not the ex-clusive domain of either the single orthe married. Individuals in bothstates can avoid responsiblebehavior; both work at self-definition by the way they deal withthese struggles.

Third, being single doesn't, orshouldn't,' mean being solitary. Thebasic way in which we are called torelate to others in the church is asa brother or a sister in the Lord.

Yet, in practice, the church toooften tends to regard being single asa temporary stage which can be leftrelatively unattended. So theprogramming, homilies, parishstructures are concerned with thosewho are married or in a nuclearfamily. Those who are single oftenfail between the cracks. They're outof the high-school program, but notin the family-centered program.

Singles have a great deal to offeras well as to gain from others.Parish leaders can take this intoaccount, not just by having groupsand activities for singles, but byproviding opportunities for differentgroups to come together. Bothgroups then can share with and bestrengthened by one another. In thisway people could come together, notas categories but as persons, livingout whafc they perceive God's call tothem to be.

Relationships Enriching To EveryoneBy CECILIA M. BENNETT

Contrary to the popularstereotype about singles today, notall are egocentric, isolated in-dividuals only out for a good time.Being single requires the samefidelity to self, to becoming, to whichall are called. This call to fidelity is acontinuing process that puts us inrelationship with others and isnourished through these relation-ships. The lonely single is often aperson who is not only unhappy withself, but who lacks relationships,,whether with friends, family orchurch community.

THE DEVELOPMENT of theserelationships is often difficult for thesingle. Society, on the one hand, putspressure on singles to appear as partof a couple, and on the other, per-petuates the image of the swinging

single who never puts his or her feeton the ground.

Parents and 'other relativesoften put pressure on singles tosettle down, marry and havechildren. This prodding can makefamily gatherings uncomfortable forsingle persons, especially if they arebeing asked constantly when theyare going to set the date.

The churches," through theirstrong family orientation, often seemto discourage singles from par-ticipating in church activities.Liturgies and homilies often givesingles the impression that there isno place for them • in «the churchcommunity.

If families and church com-munities are aware of some of theobstacles that block singles fromdeveloping relationships that are

enriching, both groups can begin towork to overcome those obstacles.Singles and their community offamily, friends and church can beginto reach out and support each other.

As a single person involved withthe church, academic studies, acareer, family and friends, I haveexperienced the rewards of theserelationships. This past Christmas, Ispent an enjoyable three weeks withmy sister, brother-in-law, and 2-year-old niece in Rome. My beingsingle enabled us to be together as afamily during the holidays. Togetherwe did some traveling, celebratedChristmas, and spent long hoursvisiting into the night. We listenedand danced with my niece to MissPiggy on the John Denver-MuppetsChristmas album. The experiencewas mutually enriching for the fourof us.

THE PARISH community canmake a conscious effort to includesingles in its various groups andactivities. Parish festivities such aspicnics, field days and other specialevents should include invitationsespecially for singles. They shouldbe invited to participate in an activeway in liturgies and religiouseducation programs. Singlesthemselves, within a parish, canform support groups for singles andhelp sponsor parish activities.

Singles have the opportunity tooffer the parish much that others,because of circumstances, cannot.The parish as a community of faithand service also has the opportunityto offer the single its support.Together as a parish family, singles,couples, religious and the ordainedcan grow together in mutuallybeneficial relationships.

Enjoying TheSingle Life

By PATRICIA O'BRIEN FISCHER

"Being a bachelor is going to thedoctor and finding out that you'vegot a bad case of the flu, then havingto stop for groceries on the wayhome because there's nobody thereto do it." This is Tom Lennon'sdefinition of his lifestyle.

The 57-year-old bachelor andfree-lance writer of Dayton, Ohio,has the ability to laugh at himselfand the predicaments that come withbeing single in a world that is mostlytwosomes and twosomes plus. Tomdoes not'have a wife or children andno longer has relatives living inDayton.

But Tom has a host of goodfriends and kind nieghbors. Hebelieves friends and neighbors areessential for the emotional health ofeveryone, especially for the singleperson.

The young-for-his-years writermakes friends easily because he isoutgoing and; most important for asingle person, he is not ashamed,embarrassed or apologetic aboutbeing unmarried.

Tom's friends are a key to hissense of fulfillment. Among his manyfriends are children, young men andwomen, the middle-aged, the elderly,singles, couples, priests, religious,the kind of people one meets atsymphony halls and museums, thekind who are heavily into sports.

TOM, LIKE most single people,did not one day decide to be abachelor. In high school he thoughtGod was calling him to be a priest.So after graduation, he entered aDominican seminary. Six years laterhe received a bachelor of philosophydegree.

But, Tom did not continue hisstudies with the Dominicans. Hewondered if he might not be moresuited to the contemplative life of theTrappists. After two years at theTrappist Abbey of Gethsemane in

Kentucky, however, he realized hedid not have the physical stamina tocontinue.

By then in his mid-20s, Tom wentto live with his mother and sisterMargaret who had moved to Dayton,Ohio. Still unsure of what he wasgoing to be "when he grew up," asTom facetiously puts it, he workedfor a short while in a lens factory.

Tom left the factory because hehad stumbled onto his life's work —writing. At a friend's suggestions, heapplied for and got a job as a writerat the George A. Pflaum PublishingCompany, then a force in Catholicclassroom periodicals. Tomespecially enjoyed writing foryoung people. He worked for Pflaumas an editor until the company wentout of the children's newspaperbusiness.

During the years at Pflaum,Tom dated and seriously consideredmarriage. But at some point in hislife — he's not quite certain when —he recognized that marriage was nothis vocation. He felt he had alreadyfound the life God wanted for him.His vocation in a sense had chosenhim.

The single life gives Tom a lot offreedom to be alone with God. Heenjoys having hours free to indulgein his favorite hobbies —Shakespeare and opera.

But Tom is gregarious too andgenuinely enjoys people. He takesmost of his meals at restaurants inthe modest neighborhood where helives rather than cooking at homebecause he wants ""to be withpeople."

THE PAST seven years have,been rough for Tom. His free-lancewriting and editing assignmentshave been punctuated by longperiods of unemployment. Right nowhe is in Florida, teaching homileticsand carrying out writing assign-ments for a'seminary.

Living with the insecurities of

Tom Lennon, the 57-year-old bachelor and free-lance writer of Dayton, Ohio, "be-lieves that friends and neighbors are essential to the emotional health of every-one and especially to that of the single person." Among his many friends arechildren, senior citizens, singles, marrieds, priests, religious, a French poodle,several Siamese cats, and a German shepherd dog named Bo, says PatriciaO'Brien.

the last few years has not beeneasy, especially after the age of 55,a.time when many people retire on apension. Tom knows that even withonly himself to support, he will livehis golden years with a good deal ofinsecurity.

But still he is cheerful and hasfaith. The single person who is opento friendships and not ashamed to lethis vulnerability show is not likely tobe alone. The single life — like themarried life — is hard. But for Tom,it is a good life too.

St. Paul and Christians VocationsBy FATHER JOHN J. CASTE LOT

Poor St. Paul! He receives somuch abuse from people who eitherdo not know about or who simplyignore one of the first rules ofliterary criticism: any writing mustbe read and understood within itsgeneral and immediate context..Words, sentences, whole com-positions take meaning from theontext in which they appear, and

that is their "literal" meaning, themeaning intended by the author.

Advocates of women's lib workthemselves into righteous in-dignation at Paul's supposedlysexist views. In all honesty, it mustbe admitted that Paul wrote in amale-dominated culture. He did notlive in a cultural vacuum and someof his statements — even when takenin context — are less surprisingwhen that is kept in mind.

BUT, CONSIDER this statementof his: "There does not exist amongyou Jew or Greek, slave or freeman,male or female. All are one (person)in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:28). Anyman who could make that statementwas surely not capitulating blindly

to his cultural conditioning, butwas struggling toward developmentof a new culture, a new worldview, anew Christian order. Such adevelopment, by its very nature,required time; Christian culture didnot bloom overnight. Many of Jesus'"kingdom parables" were storiesillustrating mysterious and painfullyslow growth.

A passage from Paul which has.often been lifted out of context is thefollowing one:

"I should like you to be free fromall worries. The unmarried man isbusy with the Lord's affairs, con-cerned with pleasing the Lord; butthe married man is busy with theworld's demands and occupied withpleasing his wife. This means he isdivided. The virgin — indeed, anyunmarried woman — is concernedwith things of the Lord, in pursuit ofholiness in body and spirit. Themarried woman, on the other hand,has the cares of the world to absorb •her and is concerned with pleasingher husband. I am going into this foryour own good. I have no desire to*place restrictions on you, but I dowant to promote what is good, what

will help you to devote yourselvesentirely to the Lord" (1 Cor. 7:32-35).

As it stands, this passage hasoften been understood as an in-dication that one can lead a fullyChristian life only outside ofmarriage. After all, the unmarriedare really in a position to bewholeheartedly concerned withpleasing the Lord. The clear im-plications is that a great percentageof Christians are relegated tomediocrity.

But what did Paul mean? Only astudy of the context can answer thatquestion. In the immediatelypreceding verses is a clear in-diciation of what Paul's real con-cerns were: "I tell you, brothers, thetime is short...for the world as weknow it is passing away" (1 Cor. 7-29-31).

Paul shared with his fellowChristians of that first generation afirm expectation of the imminentreturn of the risen Lord, the end ofthe current era, and the definitiveestablishment of God's reign.

Throughout this section of theletter he is exhorting the Corinthians

to live in detachment from theconcerns of this life. He thinksfamiliar social institutions andcultural patterns spon may be thingsof the past. They should be regardednow as of no real moment in view ofthe Lord's coming. That shouldoccupy all their attention and colorall their attitudes.

OBVIOUSLY, the situation has "changed since Paul's day. In fact, agreat many married couples are ,profoundly "concerned with thethings of the Lord." One can opt formarriage selfishly or unselfishly, justas one can opt for other lifestylesselfishly or unselfishly.

And in our changing culturalpatterns and increasing number ofyoung men and women are choosingthe single, lay state as their way oflife, doing so out of the best ofmotives. It is cruel and unchristianto regard them with suspicion, asodd or egocentric, and to embarrassthem by forcing them to justify theirchoice.

It is their choice, a perfectlylegitimate one, and one with thepotential for Christian living of thehighest caliber.

Family Night 'Health Care a Right' to LifeHoly Week

SevenDays has each weekBut Holy Week holdingPalm Sunday andGethsemaniHas more.

Opening Prayer: DearestJesus, tonight we gather onceagain in your name for ourFamily Night. Bless us thisevening as we dwell upon this •coming Holy Week and all youhave suffered for each oneof us.Help us to enter into thespirit of this entire weekbeginning with our family thisevening. Thank you, dearestJesus, for giving your life forall men so that we might dwellwith you eternally. Amen.

Out of all the weeks in theyear, Holy Week is by far themost meaningful to usChristian families. All of Lenthas been helping to prepareus for this powerful week.Holy Week is like a giantspring gushing forth with lifegiving water to fill each of uswith memories of Jesus in thelast times of his life on earth.Holy Week without her GoodFriday could never producethe Giant Triumph of EasterSunday.

Activity ideas:

1.- Crown of Thorns.-materials; bible, branchesfrom a tree of shrub, stickpins, purple paper ormaterial. Make a crown withthe bare branches and tapestick pins here and there toresenble a thorny crown.Place the crown on the purplematerial, and sit silently forabout a minute or so. Readaloud Mark 15:16-41. Share ashort prayer together. Placethe "Crown of Thorns" in thecenter of the meal area forthis week to remind the family,Jesus gave himself totally foreach of us.

2.- Family PaschalCandle.- for families withsmall children it's very dif-ficult for them to understandthe sufferings of Jesus. It'sbest with them, to share thatJesus had to leave butreturned again Easter. ThePaschal Candle helps to focuson HOPE. Materials; largemilk carton, melted paraffin,string, (or a large storebought white candle), fivecloves. Place the five cloves

on the candle in the shape of across, to signify the 5 woundsof Jesus. The candle may beburned for a short timenightly for the 40 days afterEaster to signify the presenceof Jesus.

3.- Letters.- materials;paper, pens. Each familymember write a letter toJesus mentioning all theevents of this Holy Week andwhat Christ's suffering meansto each personally. Thencompose a short family letterto Christ. Plan to read aloudthe letters the evening of GoodFriday.

Snack Time (Optional)Fasting is suggested.

Entertainment.- Thistime should also be altered toreflect Christ's Passion. Thiswould be an ideal time for thefamily to plan their activitiesfor Holy Week. Families areencouraged to activelyparticipate in the ob-servances that parishesprovide. These uniquecommunity experiences at theparish level should prove tobe an enriching experiencefor the whole family. Thesacrament of reconciliationcan provide members of thefamily a uniquely meaningfulinsight during this time.

Sharing.- Share the ex-perience of making peacewith someone with whom youwere not at peace.- Some may share when theyfelt especially close to Godduring the past week.—Share struggles and joys.

Closing Prayer- Spontaneous: (Prayer, Jar)- Scripture: Phil 2: 8,9- Lord's Prayer

- Suggested Prayer: MostHoly Jesus, thank you for thisevening and our familysharings. Tonight, we tastedbut a small portion of yoursuffering for us. O, LordJesus, thank you for givingyour life so that we might havelife eternally with you.

The right to life "clearlyimplies the right to healthcare," readily accesible andat reasonable cost, aCongressional subcommitteewas told here.

Msgr. Bryan O. Walsh,Executive director of theCatholic Service Bureau ofthe Archdiocese of Miami,said March 21 that theCatholic Church's approachto the issue of National HealthInsurance "is rooted in thefundamental tenet that everyperson has the right to bodilyintegrity and the meanswhich are necessary andsuitable for the developmentof life."

"IN THE third century ofour national existence,"Msgr. Walsh said, "we havelittle difficulty in identifyingwidespread disparities in theavailability of treatment,facilities and personnel. It isour opinion that few areashave as much to gain from theenactment of a nationalhealth care program as SouthFlorida-

"At the present time,some 40 percent of the advalorem taxes of Dade Countygo to pay for medical andhospital care for those of ourcommunity who cannot affordto pay for themselves and whoare ineligible for Medicaid orMedicare programs. Thisenormous tax burden on thecitizens of Dade County is aserious burden which iscaused at least in part bythose who move here seekinga more benign climate, by thefact that we are a touristresort and by the fact that wehave become a major port ofentry for refugees fleeingpolitical oppression.

"It is also apparent thatin most other counties of thisstate, people are deniedaccess to an acceptablelevel of health care becausethey or their communities areunable to pay for it. From thevantage point of SouthFlorida, the very mobility ofthe American people meansthat only through a National

health care program can allour citizens have equal ac-cess to an acceptable stan-dard of care.

"Our experience hasshown that wheneverrestrictions are placed onwho may be covered under aNational Health Insuranceprogram or attempts aremade to define eligibility,many will either never becovered or will lose protec-tion at a critical moment. It istherefore our position thatcoverage should be universal,including all U.S. citizens,resident aliens, and aliensadmitted for employment. Wealso believe that benefitsshould include preventiveservices, physician services,and all inpatient, outpatientand medical services.

WE RECOGNIZE thevalue of a national philosophyof living largely by oneselfand through one's own effortsin making this country strong.We reaffirm theresponsibilityeach person has for his own

health and wellbeing and,therefore, we support andurge a strong program ofhealth education. Indeed,without such a program, evena liberally funded approachto medical care would beinadequate and inherentlyweak. We see a NationalHealth Insurance program asan important vehicle forhealth education, healtheducation which would beprimarily preventive in tone,covering illnesses andailments which people cantake steps to prevent them-selves.

"The needs of our elderlycitizens and others for longterm care have never beensatisfactorily met. Again,coverage should be universal.The consumer's freedom ofchoice should be preservedand we would also urgerecognition of the provision ofservices for the elderly withinthe context of religious-cultural traditions.

Reflections of the Holy LandBy

FR. VINCENT SHEEHY

Ben Gurion Airport in TelAviv had the usual tightsecurity when we arrived onEl. Al Flight 016 from NewYork City. Even before weleft New York we were in-terrogated twice on thepurpose of our trip to Israel.The El Al Security personnelwere polite and evenapologized for the strictsecurity. We told them that weunderstood their concern. Itwas the eve of the signing ofthe Peace Treaty and the fearof terrorism was obvious.

After an eleven hourflight from New York City, wearrived in Tel Aviv. Twoadditional hours lapsedbefore we got our luggage andcleared customs. We decidedto. go directly to Jerusalemwhich is about a 45 minutedrive from Tel Aviv. With afew other passengers wehired a Cheroot (limosine) forthe drive to Jerusalem. One ofmy fellow passengers wasa young Rabbi fromMilwaukee who was going tothe Rabbinical Seminary(Yeshiva) in Jerusalem. Hegreeted me with Shalom(Peace!) and I told him thatwe shared his message ofpeace, especially for the HolyLand. We had a pleasantconversation, but avoidedany mention of religion orpolitics. It is difficult to avoidspeaking of religion orpolitics in the Holy Land,since both are so much a partof this troubled land.

We arrived in Jerusalemand I was beginning to feelthe fatigue of travelling forfourteen hours. We went tothe Casa Nova FranciscanHospice in the Old City andwithin an hour I had eatenand went to my room to getsome rest.

At least I thought I wouldget plenty of rest. My roomfaced the small windingstreets of the Oldi City. But, Iwas not prepared for thecacophony of sounds that arecommon in Jerusalem duringthe night. St. SaviourFranciscan Church is about100 yards from the Casa NovaHospice. The Churchbells of St. Saviour Churchring every fifteen minutes —twenty-four hours a day. Justwhen I thought that I hadadjusted to the intermittentsound of Church bells, I hearda blaring sound at 4:00 a.m.that I never expected. TheMoslems began chanting for

one hour during the night,with amplifiers at the top ofthe minarets of each mosque.That blaring sound is enoughto threaten any Peace Treaty.Between the sound of theChristian Church bells andthe Moslem Prayer Chants, Idon't know how the Jews cantake it!

NEEDLESS TO say, Inever got to sleep in spite ofthe fact that I was exhausted.So at 5:00 a.m. I got up andbegan to prepare for my firstfull day in Jerusalem, Iopened the shutters on thewindow and the dawn wasjust beginning to appear. I

The Via Dolorosa marks the path taken by Jesus to Calvary.

began reading morningprayer from the Liturgy of theHours and the opening hymnwas so appropriate for thedawn over Jerusalem, that Idecided to chant. If theMoselms, can do it, so can I.So I began singing thebeautiful hymn:"Morning has broken, like thefirst morning.Blackbird has spokenLike the first bird;Praise for the singing,Praise for the morning,Praise for them springingFresh from the Word..."To see the dawn overJerusalem was worth all theexhaustion of the trip.

At 6:00 a.m. I left the

hospice and walked the halfmile to the Basilica of theHoly Sepulchre where theTomb of Christ and MountCalvary are located. TheBasilica originally was builtby the Emperor Constantinein the 4th Centrury. QueenHelene, Mother of Con-stantine, had previouslycommissioned the ex-cavations at this site wherethe pagans had formerlyerected a temple of Venus toeradicate any trace of theChristian tradition of the siteof Calvary and the Tomb ofChrist. Ironically, the effortsof the Pagans onlystrengthened the authenticityof this site. St. Helena had the

pagan temple of Venus razedand during the excavationsuncovered the True Cross,which was authenticated bymiracles. At the request of hismother, the Emperor Con-stantine built the Basilicalarge enough to includeCalvary and the HolySepulchre (Tomb of Christ).

UPON ENTERING thisBasilica, I knelt before therock slab where the Body ofChrist was placed after theCrucifixion and veneratedthis sacred spot which bytradition the pilgrims kiss asa mark of respect.

It was my privilege tooffer Mass at the HolySepulchre at the Tomb ofChrist. I shall never forgetthis wonderful experience.Later I participated at Massat Calvary, and visited theCrypts in the Basilica thatgive further evidence of theSacredness of this Shrine.

My first full day inJerusalem began at the HolySepulchre and I returnedthere twice again that day tomeditate on the reality that atthis site the Son of God diedfor us, and redeemed theworld.

I had intended to be inNazareth for the Feast of theAnnunciation (March 25) forthe Solemn Mass offered bythe Latin Patriarch ofJerusalem. But there was nopossibility of makingreservations at any hotel orhospice in Nazareth at thattime. So, instead I offeredMass again at the Basilica ofthe Holy Sepulchre at thetraditional site where Christappeared to St. MaryMagdalen after theResurrection.

The Greek Orthodox,Patriarch was celebratingthe Liturgy at the Tomb ofChrist and the chanting of theGreek Monks echoedthroughout themassiveBasilica. The Coptic(Egyptian) orthodox Arch-bishop was also offering Massat the small coptic altarbehind the tomb of Christ,

with a Coptic Choir chantingthe Liturgy. The pungentaroma of incense waseverywhere. A MotionPicture company from Athenswas filming this special Massbeing celebrated by theGreek Orthodox. Patriarchwith Twleve Greek priestsparticipating. It was theCommemorative Mass forGreek Independence Day anda large group of GreekPilgrims attended.

The solemn Mass for theLatin rite began at 8:30 a.m.Since the Latin Patriarch wasin Nazareth for the Feast ofthe Annunciation, a retiredItalian Archbishop, living inthe Holy Land, officiated. TheLatin Liturgy was enhancedby three choirs: FranciscanMonks, Arabic Girls' Choir,and an Arabic Boys' Choir.The Solemn Mass was offeredin Latin and Arabic.

I will not even attempt todescribe the profusion ofchanting that reverberatedthroughout the Basilica withfive separate choirs and threeLiturgies!

On Monday, March 26,1979, the Peace Treaty be-tween Egypt and Israel wassigned in Washington. Wewere advised by some of theChristian Arabs to remain atthe Casa Nova Residence,rather than travel outside theOld City on that day. Arabbusinesses, both Christianand Moslem, were closed inprotest over the Treaty. Arabstudents boycotted theschools for that week.

It had rained all night andas I went to the DiningRoom for breakfast, I felt thatit might be wise to remain atthe Casa, since even theweather did not encourageany traveling that day. At thebreakfast table, I spoke witha few Americans andAustralians whom I had met,to see what plans they had. Itold them I was scheduled tooffer Mass at Ain Karim,about five miles from

Jerusalem at the Shrine of theVisitation. It was at AinKarim that the BlessedVirgin Mary visited hercousin Elizabeth, who was tobecome the Mother of St. Johnthe Baptist. (Priestsvisiting the Holy Land areexpected to make reser-vations in advance in order, tooffer Mass at various Shrinesbecause of the large numberof priests visiting theseshrines.)

SO ON THAT Monday,March 26, in spite of the rainand the warning of some ofthe Arabs, a group of us, —Americans and Australians -̂hired a cheroot and with aFranciscan priest fromAberdeen, Scotland, who hasresided in Jerusalem for 38years, we drove to Ain Karim.The rain never stopped, but inspite of the rain Ain Karimlooked beautiful.

The town is located on theside of a hill. Most of theArabs have left. The Mosqueis closed. The Christian ArabParish Church of St. John theBaptist built on the site of theoriginal birthplace of thesaint is supported primarilyby pilgrims. The Basilica ofthe Visitation is beautifulwith gardens and walkwaysaround it. After Mass we leftAin Karim which is also thesite of the Hadassah Hospital,supported by Hadassah (TheInternational Organization ofJewish Women). At theHadassah Hospital are thefamous Marc Chagall StainedGlass windows.

The weather had turnedcold and the rain continued. Ihad brought some pre-packaged foods like soupmixes, instant coffee, etc. justin case the food in Jerusalemwasn't the greatest.However, the food at the Casawas excellent and plentiful. Ihad also brought from theStates a bottle of bourbon toward off the chill of theJerusalem nights. Evenbefore I took a shot of OldGrandad, the hail stonesbegan pounding the windowsand the courtyard with such aforce that I thought thewindow glass might break.Because of the' weather, Iremained at the Casa for theremainder of that day.

The next morning atbreakfast, I heard that abomb had exploded at the BusTerminal in Jerusalem andanother bomb had exploded atnight a few hundred feet fromthe Basilica of the HolySepulchre. There were alsoclashes between Israelisoldiers and Arab studentsnear the Mosque of Omar inthe Old City. It had been arather eventful day.

The next day the sun wasshining and the temperaturewas over 70, so we formed asmall group and hired acheroot for the trip to Mt.Tabor, Nazareth, Tiberias onthe Sea of Galilee and theruins of Capernaum. It is adistance of about 90 milesbetween Jerusalem andNazareth, yet it took us overthree hours because of thelocal traffic and the road-

blocks. (We also made a briefstop a t Jacob 's Well, sacredto Jews and Christians.)There were six roadblocks(one every 15 miles ap-proximately). Each time wewere told by Israeli soldiersto vacate the car and showour passports. They searchedthe trunk of the car and un-

source of funding for thesesacred places. It is a tangibleway for all of us to support theShrines of the Holy Land.)

I offered the Mass of theTransfiguration at Mt. Tabor.It was a wonderful ex-perience. We drove toNazareth and spent an hour

derneath the hood.At one of the roadblocks,

when an Israeli soldier askedto see my passport, I askedhim if he were an Americansince he spoke like one. Hesaid that he was fromChicago. I told him that I alsohad been raised in Chicago. Itturned out that we were bothfrom the same neighborhood(Rogers Park) near LoyolaUniversity on Chicago'sNorth side. We spoke aboutChicago for a few minutes. Heapologized for the securityinconvenience, and we partedwith "Shalom."

CLIMBING MOUNTTabor (2,000 feet) the Site ofthe Transfiguration of Christis difficult even by car. Theroad is narrow and steep. OurArab driver must have had arefresher course at theIndianapolis speedwaybecause on a few of thosehairpin turns, I thought wewere gone for sure.

Like most of the CatholicShrines in the Holy Land, theChurch of the Transfigurationatop Mt. Tabor is staffed bythe Franciscan Fathers whoare the official custodians ofthe Catholic Shrines. TheFranciscan communities do awonderful job of maintainingthese shrines. (The AnnualGood Friday Collection whichis held in every Catholicchurch for the benefit of theHoly Land Shrines is the main

visitng the magnificentBasilica of the Annunciationcompleted in 1969 bydonations from throughoutthe world. It is truly one of themasterpieces in the HolyLand. The Architect musthave been a genius. Hepreserved the antiquity of thesite of the Annunciation whilecreating a modern and func-tional church.

We had lunch in Nazarethat an Arab restaurant which Iknow will never get theHoliday Magazine award forfine cuisine.

We continued to Tiberiasand along the Sea of Galilee,visiting the holy places whereChrist appointed Peter as hisVicar and first Pope. There isa small chapel of the Primacyat that site. We walked downto the Sea of Galilee andblessed ourselves with thewater. The Sea of Galilee isclear and very clean, which isnot true of the Jordan Riverwhere Christ was baptized byhis cousin, St. John theBaptist.

We drove on to the ruinsofCapernaum where Peter hadhis home and where Christhad preached in theSynagogue. There have beenextensive excavations atCapernaum by the Fran-ciscans and sponsored by theItalian government.

THEN WE continued tothe site of the Sermon on the

Mount, or the Beatitudes,where Christ had taught"Blessed are thePeacemakers..." Our guideon these tours was always aFranciscan or a ChristianBrother. We read from theBible as we traveled to thosesites sanctified by theirassociation with Christ.

I would suggest toChristians planning a trip tothe Holy Land that you insiston a Christian Guide,preferably a Franciscan. TheIsraeli Guides are friendlyand polite, but they are in-different to the Christianconcept of the sacredness ofthese shrines.

I heard one Israeli Guiderefer to the Beatitudes as the"Catholic Commandments,but they have only eight ofthem;" Another Israeli TourGuide never mentioned Christor his teachings on theBeatitudes, but instead shekept talking about the"serenity of the place and thepretty flowers and trees,etx." I felt like advising herthat this was not a horti-culture lesson. (Even if youare on a packaged tour of theHoly Land, insist on aChristian Guide and be sureto bring your Bible).

We left the site of theBeatitudes and drove againalong the Sea of Galilee to theJordan River and then backto Jerusalem. We en-countered several moreroadblocks, but I stoppedcounting them after the ninthone. It had been a long day.

There are soldierseverywhere in Israel, and I,literally, mean everywhere.They are posted outside of allshrines — Christian, Moslemand Jewish Holy places —and at most street corners.Almost one-half of Israel'sbudget is for defense. Thesoldiers are usually polite tovisitors, but the Arabas mayget a more critical treatment.Maybe the Peace Treaty willease the strain on defenseexpenditures and allow forother priorities for the people,like better housing and healthservices, particularly in theArab sectors.

I found both Jews andArabs very courteous andkind. They are both greatSemetic people and they madeus feel very welcome aspilgrims to the Holy Land.

OUR NEXT excursionoutside Jerusalem was toBethlehem and the ancientBasilica of the Nativity builtby the Emperor Justinian asan addition to the originalchurch constructed under theEmperor Constantine. TheBasilica of the Nativity is oneof the oldest shrines, sinceunlike most other shrines,it was not destroyed by thePersians. The Persians.spared Bethlehem becausethe paintings of the Wise Men(Magi) depicted themwearing Persian clothing sothe original Basilicaremained intact.

We'were anxious to see asmuch of Bethlehem as possibleso we spent several hoursthere and at the Shepherds'Church a few miles outside

the town of Bethlehem. I meta Franciscan Brother at theShepherds' Church (built bydonations from Canada).The Franciscan Brother wasalso a native of Chicago.Small world!

Since the Lenten seasonwas already into the fourthweek and Holy Week wasquickly approaching, Idecided to spend Thursday,March 29, at Mt. Sion to visitthe Cenacle where the LastSupper took place. It was agood walk to Mt. Sion, but Ineeded the exercise, so a fewof us walked it. We visited theGerman Benedictine Churchof the Dormition (Sleep) ofthe Blessed Virgin Marywhere according to tradition,the Virgin Mary "fell into adeep sleep." Some earlyChurch writers were hesitantto say that Mary died,because death is one of thepenalties of sin, and theyhoped to avoid any apparentcontradiction between herpreservation from all sin andthe concept of death as apenalty of our fallen nature.

FROM THE Church ofthe Dormition of Mary withits commanding view of theCity of Jerusalem, we walkedto the Cenacle of the LastSupper. I was disappointedwith the Cenacle. It is not theroom where Christ offeredMass at the Last Supper.Instead it is a replica of theCenacle. It was constructedby the Crusaders in the 12thCentury on the same sitewhere the original Cenaclewas located. It is not underthe custody of the Fran-ciscans. The Israeli Govern-ment controls it. The BlessedSacrament is not presentthere on the site where theFirst Mass was offered byChrist. The Cenacle replica ison the 2nd floor of theCrusaders — constructedbuilding. On the first floor isthe alleged Tomb of KingDavid, a sarcophogus ofdoubtful authenticity. AJewish School (Yeshiva)adjoins it and also a MoslemMosque. The indifference tothe Cenacle was disap-pointing.

On Friday, March 30, weplanned to visit the Shrinescommemorating the Passionof Christ. So, we decided totake a local bus to Mt. Scopus,the stite of the Discourse onthe Our Father (Pater NosterShrine) and also the site ofthe Ascension of Christ intoHeaven. (A ride on an Arabbus is a once-in-a-lifetimiexperience.) It was it-dissappointment to discoverthat the site of the Ascensionis under Moslem control. Andeven though it is open toChristians, it would be muchbetter maintained if theFranciscans had custody ofit. Both the site of the Cenacleand the site of the Ascensionare under the jurisdiction ofnon-Christians who are in-different to their sacredness.And it seems that nothing canbe done to change thissituation which the Christiancommunity finds so disap-pointing.

(Continued on Page 17)

Reflections of the Holy Land(Continued from Page 16)

We walked down the roadfrom Mt. Scopus past theCemeteries of the Israeli WarDead and continued ontoward the Mount of Olives atGethsemane. We passed thebeautiful Russian OrthodoxChurch of St. MaryMagdalen, built by the Czaras a memorial to his mother,the former Czarin. TheRussian Orthodox Churchwas locked, which isfrequently true of some of theOrthodox churches inJerusalem.

We stopped to pray at theDominus Flevit (The LordWept̂ Church which has apanoramic view ofJerusalem.

At Gethsemane, wepaused at the Garden ofOlives (Mt. Olivet) which stillhas productive olive trees.We participated in a con-celebrated Mass at theCatholic Church of AllNations at Gethsemane, andlater stopped to visit theTomb of the Blessed VirginMary at which the Assump-tion of Mary occurred.

EVERY FRIDAY duringLent at 3:00 p.m. the Fran-ciscan Fathers conduct theWay of the Cross (ViaDolorosa) along the narrowstreets of the Old City. Amidthe congestion of shoppersand merchants, the Faithfulfollowing in the footsteps ofChrist, make this sorrowfuljourney along the cobblestonealleys and streets ofJerusalem. The culminationof the Way of the Cross is thelast few Stations at theBasilica of the HolySepulchre where theCrucifixion and Death ofChrist are commemorated atCalvary, and also His Burialin the Tomb. The Stations ofthe Cross are a vividreminder of the love thatChrist had for each one of us.

Byzantine mosaic marks the site of the Miracle of Loaves andFishes at Tabgha.

After the Stations werecompleted, we began walkingback to the Casa when one ofour friends suggested that wewalk to the Western Wall(Wailing Wall) before sun-down, which is the beginningof the Jewish Sabbath. Wearrived at the Western Wallto see thousands of Jews fromall parts of the world gatherat this Holy Site. The WesternWall is part of the temple builtby King Herod. Excavationsindicate that the lower part ofthe Wall dates back to theoriginal temple built bySolomon.

Only males may touch theWall at the enclosed area. Atable with a large supply ofyamalkas is located near theentrance to provide head-covering for any male whodoes not have a hat oryamalka.

I placed the yamalka onmy head while young Rab-binical students were runningto join other young Rabbis inprayer. Before approachingthe Western Wall,each of themwould wash his hands. I

walked up to the Wall andplaced my hands on it andprayed for peace in the HolyLand.

Crevices of the Wall arefilled with slips of paper onwhich prayers ofthanksgiving and petition areinscribed. All of the men,especially the Rabbis, werepraying in a cadence, whilebowing continuously from thewaist. I could not understandthe continual bowing, so Ilooked around to see if I couldsee anyone who obviouslywas an American. I sawa young man about thirteen

wearing a Chicago White SoxBaseball cap and a DallasCowboys Jacket. I spoke tohim and asked where he livedin the States. Would youbelive it — anotherChicagoan! I've met moreChicagoans in Jerusalemthan I have in Miami. Con-sidering the recent record ofthe Chicago Bears, I couldunderstand why he was aDallas fan.'

I ASKED HIM why themen were continually bowing.Was it a religious rite? Hetold me that it helps themrecite their prayers moreeasily, but he wasn't reallysure of the reason for it. I amstill puzzled by it, but maybea more knowledgeable personcould explain it.

That evening we haddinner with Father FrancisFurlong, S.J., Director of thePontifical Biblical Institute inJerusalem. Father Furlongwas a classmate of Arch-bishop McCarthy at CatholicUniversity, Washington.Father Furlong also taughttheology to Father JohnEdwards, S.J., Pastor ofGesu Church, Miami, at St.Mary Seminary, Kansas.

We toured the PontificalBiblical Institute with itsimpressive collection of ar-tifacts that predate Biblicaltimes. Students from all overthe world study Scripture at

this Institute.Our visit to the Pontifical

Biblical Institute sparked aninterest in going to Qumeranwhere the Dead Sea Scrollswere discovered in 1947 by aMoslem Bedouin who chancedon inhabiting an isolated cavein the mountains near theDead Sea, and happened tofind the Scrolls preserved insealed clay pots. The Scrollsof the Essenes, a Jewish Sect,that lived in the area ofQumeran two centuriesbefore the time of Christrevealed many facts aboutthe theology of the JewishEssenes. The discovery of theDead Sea Scrolls was a majoradvance in Biblicalscholarship.

SO A SMALL group fromthe Casa left for Qumeran byway of Jericho, which isconsidered the oldest city inthe world. Jericho is an oasisin the Judean desert. It hasnatural springs of water thatoffer an abundance of freshwater to the orange grovesand almond groves thatflourish in Jericho. Flowersare everywhere. Jericho isespecially noted for itsbeautiful roses andbouganvillea.

We stopped in Jericho fororange juice and then con-tinued on along the highwaybordering the Dead Sea. No

Reflections of the Holy Land(Continued from Page 17)

living organism can live inthe Dead Sea because of itshigh salt and mineral content.Hence its name, the DeadSea. Sometimes the sulphursmell from the Sea indicatesthat it is dead.

At Qumeran we saw thecaves where the Scrolls werediscovered, and learned moreabout the Biblical im-portance of the Scrolls.

Our last stop was Masadaalong the Dead Sea. Masadais a plateau, 2000 feet high,which had been a fortressbuilt by King Herod. Later in70 A.D. when the RomanGeneral Titus had destroyedJerusalem, the Jews knownas Zealots fled to Masadawhere they withstood theseige of the Roman Army.

Finally, when the Zealotsrealized that they could nolonger defeat the Romans,over one thousand Zealotscommitted suicide by jumpingoff the cliff of Masada, ratherthan accept slavery at thehands of the Romans. Toreach the top of Masada, it isnecessary to take the cablecar, unless you feel likewalking 2000 feet up themountain.

Our trip to the Holy Landwas now completed. We hadtravelled throughout Galilee,Judea and Samaria. We had

Outside the Garden Tomb, believed to be site of burial and Re-surrection.

visited the Sacred Shrines ofthe Old and New Testament,places made holy by theMessiah, Jesus Christ. Wehad walked the cobblestonestreets of Jerusalem whereChrist had walked manytimes. We had seen his image

in the faces of countlessSemites — Jews and Arabs —and we offered our prayers atthe Holy Shrines that thePeace of Christ would be areality for all peoples of goodwill. I thought of Psalm 122 inreference to Peace in

Jerusalem."For the Peace of Jerusalem,pray:Peace be to your homes!

May Peace reign in yourwalls,In your palaces, peace."Shalom!

CDA Joins Paulists ForNational Lay Celebration

SANTO DOMINGO, Dom.Rep. — The CatholicDaughters of the Americaswill become a partner withthe Paulist Fathers Office forEvangelization in sponsoringthe 2nd Annual NationalCatholic Lay Celebration ofEvangelization to be held inWashington, D.C., Aug. 21-23.

The National Board ofCDA meeting here pledged$25,000 for national promotionof the celebration and agreedto take part in the planningand development of many ofthe workshops to bepresented by lay groupsthroughout the country.

Miss Mary E. Murray,national regent of CDA, willbe a speaker at one- of thegeneral sessions and willwork with Fr. Alyin Illig,C.S.P., in planning thecelebration.

The board also approveda grant to Rev. Paul Lavin ofAmerican University inWashington to establish apermanent lecture series atthe University in honor of

Archbishop Philip M.Hannan of New Orleans.Archbishop Hannan is a pastnational chaplain of CDA.The lectures will bring to thecampus prominent Catholicsserving in government todiscuss how their faith in-fluences their public life.

Several other grantswere also awarded includingone to support a seminarianstudying at the NorthAmerican College in Rome.

One resolution passed bythe board attacked the armedforces policy of promotion-or-discharge for militarychaplains which has caused ashortage of Catholicchaplains in the variousbranches.

The board also reaf-. firmed its opposition to theEqual Rights Amendmentand opposed the registrationand drafting of women formilitary service. Otherresolutions endorsed the workof Morality in Media andpraised the Federal Bureauof Investigation for its crack-down on pornography.

Church Is Against Divorce, Not PeopleBy GERARD E. SHERRY

A major problem in theCatholic community has beenthat "many have felt that tobe against divorce, we had tobe against divorced people,"Paulist Father, JamesYoung, Chaplain of the NorthAmerican Conference ofSeparated and DivorcedCatholics, said in an in-terview here.

"We had to reject them,stigmatize them and put themout of the Church com-munity," Father Young said."We are learning to say thatwhen we are seen as acompassionate community,alert to people who arehurting, reconciling andhealing towards them, itmakes our traditional valueslook better.

"THE MORE we talkopenly about the stresses thatpeople are experiencing intheir marriages, the more itmay help the married to dealwith them. It is not uniqueto have these stresses. Sup-port groups prevent the hastyremarriage — the reboundingfactor after the breakup.Church support groups buypeople some time and cushionthe transition that they gothrough."

Father Young said "that arecent new study shows that"one out of four parishes inthe country now have somekind of support group orministry for divorcedCatholics."

"Divorced people will notbe ministered to unless theirparishes are ready to acceptthem and make them feelwelcome and part of parishlife." he said. "That is where

the most significant gains areoccurring — at the grass-roots level where the averagedivorced Catholic is ex-periencing a kind of at-titudinal shift in the Church.It is a big help. Where oncethey felt unwelcome, nothingwas ever done or said aboutthem — they feel a kind of

attitudinal shift where theyare hearing this talked about,preached about, in theirparishes.

"I think what it does is todeal with the religiouscollapse that divorced peoplego through. At this time whena marriage breaks up, theyhave to face a lot of probingquestions like 'What hap-pened to the grace of theS a c r a m e n t ? W e r e n ' tmarriages made in heaven ?Didn't God wish me to marrythis particular person? Nowthat I have messed up thismarriage, can I ever getstraight with God again? Iobviously cannot get backtogether with this person, sois this an unforgiveable sin?Will I be punished by Godforever?

"So, there is a whole kindof religious system collapse. Ithink the shape of thisministry in the - parish is tooffer people the kind ofsupport and community theyneed at this very vulnerableand difficult time. It helpsthem deal with not just theprobing questions, but helps

number of divorces in the1980s. Itis a sad consequenceoflife in post-industrial society,relating to the profoundchanges in the institution ofmarriage itself. Certainly,relating to the freedom peoplehave — affluence,education, mobility, some ofwhich are very good — but ithas taken a toll in the loss ofkinship networks, religioussupports, ethnic supports. Ithas put people in a veryvulnerable situation.

"Also, I think thenarrowing economic horizonof the 80's and the stressesand strains that it is bringingto married life — all of thesethings suggest that we aregoing to live with a significantamount of divorce in the nextdecade. The Census Bureausays that if current trendscontinue, we anticipate 40percent of all new marriageswill end in divorce. Of allsecond marriages whichpeople enter into, 45 percentwill end — a third of allmarriages will be secondmarriges. There is no in-dication that it is going to go

evangelization. The crowdskeep getting bigger andbigger and many workshopsare being conducted bylaity."

FATHER ILLIG said thathe hoped that most people atthe grassroots of parish lifewould be sympathetic toevangelization "not fight itand say an occasional prayerof its success., besides beingwilling to urge parishcouncils to put a few dollarsaside to try and reach theunchurched and thealienated."

"Ninety-seven percent ofall time, money and effortspent by the Catholic Churchin the U.S. is being spent onnurturing and maintainingthe Faith of the activeCatholic community," hesaid. "And I don't say that isbad — it is not bad in terms ofthe past and not bad in termsof the present. I am hopingthat by 1990 — ninety percentof the time, effort and moneywill be spent on nurturing andmaintaining the faith of theactive Catholic community. Iwould also hope that tenpercent of our time, effort andmoney will be in workingwith the twelve millioninactive Catholics, theseventy million unchurched,

.ecumenical dialogue with

s e v e n t y - f i v e mi l l ionProtestant brothers andsisters, and inter-religiousdialogue with eleven millionfriends who are religious, butnot Christian.

"So, we are looking for agentle, slow, broadening ofvision. As Christ said, Hecame to save everybody.Therefore, we have anobligation if we areChristians — to have a lovefor our brothers and sisters —to try and reach out and sharewith them. So, this basicallyis what I am hoping — twentypercent of the people by theend of ten years begin _ toengage in evangelizationcommissions, inviting peopleto Mass, sharing outreachprograms and two-thirdssympathetic — then roughlyten percent of the parishcommunity give of theirresources.

"The first people to beginto be enriched will be our ownCatholic people. But when weshare, Jesus said He was theDivine Physician, the GoodShepherd.we want to do whatChrist did. He said he foundeda Church for sinners — we arenot dismembered spirits —but doing this type of workyou enrich and strengthenyour own family.

"IF YOU CONSTANTLYlook at yourself, your visiongets smaller, shallower andmore niggardly, and closed,and if you look at all the littlewarts and wrinkles, but if youbegin to reach out — we aresupposed to be something of aselfless people, not a selfishpeople.

"Evangelization callsyou to be selfless. Most parishcouncils work on primarynurturing, maintenanceprograms, etc. I don't saythat is wrong; that is where ithas to be if we are to start —but it cannot stop there. Wehave to have building andstructure, liturgy, education,social ministry financial —should not we also stop oc-casionally and see what weare doing to reach out to theunchurched; what are ourplans next year forEcumenical dialogue?Ecumenical dialogue does notjust happen. It is worked out— it is developed.

away."It points to deficiency on

the part of the whole society.People are still ill-preparedor ill-informed about whatmodern marriage requires.The romantic illusion that youmeet the right person and thateverything will work out isstill enormously tenacious.When people get married, thekinds of new role definitionsin male and female roles,changing place of children inmarriage, : economicstresses, longer life — somany of these factors arethings that people are justbeginning to work throughand cope with.

The Paulist priest saidthat the Church has in no waybacked off from "the Lord'sinsight that when two peoplemarry, they should com-mit themselves to each otheruntil death."

"STILL THE WAY peopleunderstand their relationshipin marriage and the way theystructure their marriage isdifferent," he said. "Somepeople say the key word tomodern marriage is equality— where in the past,marriage was assumed to bemale— dominated — femalesubmissive — man's place inthe woxld — woman's place tostay home and rear children,etc.

"Now we say thatmarriage is a meeting ofcomplimentary equals. Thatmen and women havedistinctive human sexuality,but at the same time each hasrights to education, personaldevelopment and so on. Weare just beginning to copewith this in this generation —about what this kind ofmarriage is going to shapedown to be — idealism hasreached ahead of our skillsto pull it off."

Father Young said thatcurrent rsearch shows that"there has been no diminish-ment of our people's desirefor lasting marriages."

"But, we are findingthat people are having a hardtime pulling off the lastingmarriages they want," hesaid. "You might say there isa skills gap, and they mightnot have the skills necessaryon one level to be reallysensitive to each other over alonger period of time. Forexample, an interesting pieceof data is that people who arereligiously observant,divorce less than thepopulation at large — peoplewho go to church — probablypeople who are seriousCatholics — take the Church'steachings seriously — alsoworship regularly — maybring a spiritual energy to theproblems that come to everymarriage.

"When you think about it— what marriage preparationhas to be today is to preparepeople for the inevitablecrises — or the crunch pointswhich are going to come asthey change and growthrough life. I like to feel thatpeople who pray and arespiritually grounded mayhave resources to bring tothose tough times — and that

others who may have lesspersonal religious depth maybe blown apart by them."

"I think the 80's are goingto be a time when the parishwill have to absorb some ofthese extra-parochial con-cerns into its own life. Theparish will have to becomemore personally oriented. Itcannot be just a place wheresacraments are dispensedclasses are taught, or thMass is celebrated. Theministry — which is theclergy and lay peopletogether — is going to have tobe more articulating,nourishing of family life. Ithink this is what the Bishops'Pastoral Plan on the Familyhas suggested.

"The parish structurehas to grow and change to beable to be faithful to itscalling to support people inpermanent marriages. It hasto be more of a community inwhich it gathers peopletogether — young marrieds —this is another group we needto gather together. People aresaying the most vulnerableperiod is the second to sixthyear when the romanticillusion crumbles, whenpeople for the first time facethe sacrifices which marriageinvolves and how theyweather the storm of that andthe growth that is required ofthem.

"It is often a time couplesare so surprised that thingsare not going well. Theynever talk about or deal withit until things get bad and thatis why there is a need for theparish to gather groups ofyoung marrieds — wherethey can openly talk about theadjustments they are goingthrough and see somemodeling from others.

"This could be very ef-fective. So, I would think if Iwas a pastor in a parishtoday, I would be trying toconvene people and get themtogether in these like groups— not to segregate them —but offer them specialresources so that the parishas a whole can also be acommunity that transcendsthis."
