Christmas message
My dear people When this Christmas letter is read the Federal election will have become history. However, the Christian Message of Peace promulgated by the Birth of Christ is particularly appropriate whatever was the result. There has been bitterness and much ill-feeling which threaten to divide Australians as never before. Unless bridges are built to span the political crevasse by all people -wi ll, Australia could lose what has been one of its more adgood of mirable qualities, the spirit of friendly "mateship" which basically is a realisation that we are al l brothers. The Holy Year, just now concluding, has emphasised the need for renewal and reconciliation and the Church of Perth has participated very widely in its celebration. The Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to Rome was a unique and unforgettable occasion. The "Crusade for Mary" has been a great success, too. Our thanks must go to the active and zealous committee which organised it. More important still, may the "Crusade" result in a permanent revival of sincere devotion to Our Blessed Lady in all of us. O rdinary every-day Catholic life has developed very much in the Archdiocese during 1975 as well and we should all thank God for it. Far from suffering the heartache of empty churches or declining school attendance, seven large new parish churches have been dedicated and even more new schools and substantial additions to older ones have been inaugurated. Parish Pastoral Councils and School Boards of Management are becoming more efficient and growing in real pastoral concern. There has been a very substantial growth in active lay participation in all diosecan and parochial works connected with church, school and a wide variety of social concerns. Another one hundred and twenty canonically instituted Acolytes have been trained and commissioned. Their zealous help is welcomed by the priests and accepted and appreciated by the people. I particularly thank His Holiness the Pope for granting my request for another Auxiliary Bishop. I congratulate Bishop Healy and welcome him into the ranks of the episcopate. His ordination and that of five priests and three deacons during the year will be a great and valuable subsidy to our ministry. None of these "successes" are mentioned with any sense of vanity of achvievement since against them we must all balance what we have neglected or done less well. God's help, however, is manifested in what has been achieved: our - own inadequacy is demonstrated in those things in which we hove f ailed. May we all thank God for his mercy, his kindness and his generosity. Christmas is a special time for thanksgiving when we recall God's greatest gift of all: His Divine Son sent for our redemption. May the peace of Christ which comes to us through our love of the brethren be with us all. ± L. J. GOODY, Archbishop of Perth. 4.41 , 414,4 , 04.4.04,###
On inside EMMANUEL: GOD'S PROMISEi pages .. FULFILLED From the beginning of their history the Jews had lived with the promise of the many blessings that God would pour out on his chosen people Israel.
Each event of their history was interpreted by them as a giving or a withholding of God's blessing. The final and ultimate blessing was that God himself would come among his people to save them and make them holy. From the time of Moses, of course, Israel believed that God was always in their midst. His glory filled the Ark of the Covenant.

FATHER JOHN L'ESTRANGE in "Zealandia"
and, later, the temple was seen as the special place of God's presence. The Jews believed in God's presence among them and at the same time looked forward to his coming. The temple was seen as a symbol both of the presence of God at the time, and of. his complete and fuller presence in the future. One of the last pro-
phecies of the Old Testament promised that the "Lord whom you seek will come to his temple," and that before his coming he would send "his messenger to clear a path before him" (Mal. 3:1). But how was God to come? It was to this question that Luke provides the answer in his story of 'annunciation to t he 141"‘"IP*".."*".4.#41,14P.#11 ,44.0.4.4 , M•0#41 , 1,M#41 , 04.4.41 ,11.0.0.1"114,41,41,4,0 Mary, and, indeed, in his whole gospel. God came, says Luke, in the coming of his son. The whole life and ministry of Jesus was the promised coming or visitation of God to his people. Because of this. John t he Baptist was seen as t he forerunner who cleared the way, So Luke begins his account of the good news with the - annunciation of the birth of two men — men who, at least in the eyes of Luke and of Christians everywhere, were very important - for the history of mankind.

THE ANGEL'S MESSAGE Luke's concern is with t he angel's message — the meaning of the birth of Jesus. He presents
Jesus' conception as a free act of God. This conception by Mary was not an answer to a prayer on Mary's part. This is evident in the way Mary's reactions are described in the story. God takes the initiative. He sets the process in movement. The only parallel to this is the creation of the universe. In a sense, the coming of Jesus is a new Creation, a new beginning. God starts again from scratch, as it were. Up till now, the universe (which at its creation God saw as good) had moved away from its initial goodness, and had become corrupt. In Jesus the possibility is given for goodness to be restored. The direction towards c‘il that mankind had t aken can now be reversed. Man can turn back to God. ASSURANCE Jesus provides the assurance that God's first creative act is not frustrated. He begins the whole process anew. The "cloud overshadowing" was a sign of God's presence among his people, a promise of fidelity and salvation. The "power of the Most High' is the creative power of God, creating kt Mary something entirely new. From this would come a radically different universe, one directed to God and not away from him.
Clui,1:-.1as is not .he Bird] of Christ, it is the Incarnation of the Word in many circumstances. Compare the pilgrimage story of Bethlehem (page 15) with the thoughts of an archbishop in the New Guinea highlands (page 3) or an Australian Jesuit in India fathoming the thoughts of an Indian mystic (page 7). COM MINION in the HAND is permitted in all West Australian churches from midnight Mass onwards. This is not an innovation in the Church but a return to a very ancient practice. Some of the deeper considerations behind this sten are given on page 13. During 1975, Catholic institutions have been in the news, especially because of the pressure inflation is having on their work. How these institutions have dramatically changed emphasis is described on pages 8, 16, 19 and 21 Mass times for metropolitan and country centres are on special pages that can he lifted out and stored in the car.

How can we celebrate Christmas when there are no Stables? We are al l Inns — T.V. made, pompous and selfsatisfied. But there ac no more stalls for God to purge. We are all Mr. -and Mrs. Clean. No sin, No Guilt, No Fault, No Confession! No Ox-Dumbness, No Asinine Stupidities. Mary is not the only one Immaculately Conceived. We are all immaculate. No stains to be forgiven on knees. We need °ill; c;u:hes to have our sins explained a way.
" I came not to call the just, but sinners," He said. But we are ail just; "they" are the sinners: The bishops, the churches, the young, the old, the establishment. "God is dead"— everything is allowable. Freedom is rejection of the sacred. We are al l seif-.,;ashecl in Pi late's waters. God comes to man only when he knows he's dirty And hates the image divine that he has ruined; Then He comes in the drama of life to be my "stand in". A s I forget my lines and botch my part, 'Tis then He plays my role and goes to death for me. I need not he clean before I win His love, But only that I know my stable needs a cleaning With a mightier Hercules than ever cleansed Aegean stalls

Tilt BABE OF THE THOUSAND BIRTHDAYS
Babe of the thousand birthdays, we that are piling yet grey, White with the centuries, still can find no better thing to say, We that with sects and whims and wars have was-fed Christmas Day. Light Thou Thy censer to Thyself for all our , fires are dim, Stamp Thou Thine image on our coins, for Caesar's face grows grim, And a dumb devil of pride and greed has taken hold of him, We bring Thee back great Christendom, churches and towns and towers, , And if our hands are glad, 0 God, to cast t them down like flowers, 'Tis not that they enrich Thine hands, but i they are saved from ours. From "'A Song of Gifts to God" in the collected poems of G. K. Chesterton.

ECUMENICAL TRANSLATION Of. BIBLE PARIS (NC). — The first ecumenical translation of the whole Bible has been completed here with the publication in French of the Old Testament by the Dominican Editions du Cerf and the Protestant Publisher Les Bergers et Les MagCS. The translation is the work of sixty-four ex-
perts who worked in pairs. one Catholic and the other Protestant. A co-ordinating committee supervised all the translating to insure high standards and shared responsibility. All the translations
were submitted to an Orthodox church authority thus insuring that the work reperesents all the Christian churches. The New Testament was completed in 1973. Both Testaments are heavily annotated. The ecumenical translation is approved for use in public worship in France.

THE REVISED FORM OF PENANCE A s a principal reform, the Second Vatican Council which concluded ten years ago on December 8, ordered a refortn of all the liturgical rites of the Church. The last sacrament, that of Penance, has now been issued and next to revision of the Mass is likely to have the most far reaching effect in the life of the Church. The Council decreed that "the rite and formulas of penance are to be revised in such a way that they may more clearly express the nature and effects of the sacrament." The new rite has been drawn up to emphasise the relation of the sacrament to the community as well as giving a fuller expression to the individual rite, which is placed in the context of a celebration of the Word of God. The new rite will be available for use in Australia after Rarch 3, and will obligatory after November 28 next year. Following the appreciative response of readers to our publication of the Introduction to the Mass last year, The Record now presents, in lift out form, the Introduction to the new rite and the form of individual penance. IT IS OPTIONAL FOR THE PENITENT TO GO TO CONFESSION EITHER IN THE TRADITIONAL ANONYMOUS STYLE BEHIND A SCREEN OR SEATED FACING THE CONFESSOR. BOTH FORMS ARE PRESENTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PICTURES.

TRUE SORROWAND ITS CONSEQUENCES
Where it is the custom, the penitent says a formula for confession (for example, I eneral g confess to al/night)' God) before he confesses his sins. If 'necessary, the priest helps the penitent to make an integral confession and gives him suitcounsel. le urges him to be sorry for his faults, I reminding him that through the sacrament of penance the Christian dies and rises with Christ and is thus renewed in the paschal mystery. The priest proposes an act of penance which the penitent accepts to make satisfaction for sin 'and to amend his life. The priest should make sure that he adapts
his counsel to the penitent's circumstances.
No. 4. Sorrow, absolution and praise of God My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name. my God, have mercy. OR: Remember, Lord, your compassion and mercy which you showed long ago. Do not recall the sins and failings of my youth. In your mercy remember me, Lord, because of your goodness. OR: Wash me from my guilt and cleanse me of my sin. I acknowledge my offence: my sin is before me always. OR: Father, I have sinned against you and am not worthy to be called your son, Be merciful to me, a sinner. OR: Father of mercy. like the prodigal son I return to you and say: "I have sinned against you and am no longer worthy to be called your son." Christ Jesus, Saviour of the world, I pray with the repentant thief to whom you promised Paradise: "Lord, remember me in your kingdom." Holy Spirit, fountain of love, I call on you with trust: . "Purify my heart, and help me to walk as a child of light."
OR: Lord Jesus. you opened the eyes of the blind, healed the sick. forgave the sinful woman. and after Peter's denial confirmed him in your love. Listen to my prayer: forgive all my sins. renew your love in my heart. help me live in perfect unity with my fellow Christians that I may proclaim your saving power to all the world. OR: Lord Jesus, you chose to be called the friend of sinners. By your saving death and resurrection free from my sins. May your peace take root in my heart u forth a harvest and bring of love. 'holiness. and truth. OR: Lord Jesus Christ, you are the lamb of God: you take away the sins of the world. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit restore me to friendship with your Father. cleanse me from every stain of sin in the blood you shed for me, and raise me to new life for the glory of 'our name. OR: Lord God. in sour eoodness have mercy on me• do not look on my sins. but take away all my guilt. Create in me a clean heart and renew within me an upright spirit. OR: Lord Jesus.

Communion in hand not new
The practice of the communicant receiving communion in his hand is not on unprecedented development in the liturgy of the Church. In the writings of the early Church Fathers there is no exact account of the mode of receiving communion. There was no reason to explain the usual practice or to describe what people actually experienced. The most that one can find are occasional references to the practice of reception of communion in the hand during the first centuries of the Church.
• The Bishops of Australia at their September meeting this year voted, by the necessary two-thirds majority, to apply to the Holy See for the faculty of allowing Communion to be received in the hand of the communicant. Following the granting of this facutly, the Bishops of Western Australia have decided that the option is available to the faithful, commencing at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. People are entirely free to receive Communion in either form.
of receiving the Host on the tongue was introduced and they generalised as the only form in which Communion could be received. 'Except for a few cases, laymen did sporadic not op, pose the new rite, just as they accepted the fact ot the clergy taking over the whole responsibility for the sacred functions in the Church.

We are getting on again with the life of the Church as it should be. a model of harmony. From the highest Vatican level to the lowliest parish meeting. there is quiet in the Church. What has gone wrong? Have we all reached some miraculous consensus about all the isses of the sixties? Or were they irrelevant to most people anyway? Or have dissenters just lost heart? The Catholic Press throughout Australia Over the past year, shows to those who can read between the lines, that there has been some tension over the newer methods of "teaching religion."

While not over-happy with the denominational boundaries being emphasised, students wanted to be recognised as Christians, he said.

CATHOLIC WORLD TOUR VISITING 17 COUNTRIES Departs FREMANTLE March 20, 1976
Europe has an image that is all of its own, principally because its skyline is dotted with the spires of churches. It is not a merely theoretical argument asking whether the churches are full or empty. It is a proclamation of the truth that the men who shaped those cities saw a church as a living monument in the midst of everyday life. Europe has discovered that its churches are the drawcards for tourists. But not only to the big cathedrals and basilicas do the people go. Anywhere the bus or train stops, the tourist finds himself looking at a church steeple; his curiosity calls him to look inside and it is always a gem of one sort or another.
_
The Catholic World Tour is not a religious tour in terms of a pilgrimage. But it is Catholic because it will look at the many places that have become significant in the faith and history of Catholics. The local people won't dress up just because they have heard that you are coming. But like their churches, they have prized the customs and ways of the past. The older village men and women have tucked away their festive dresses that are worn on special days. A tour is not just a jaunt through a dead past; it is on experience of the living history that has been handed down.

Japanese Chrisimas worldts biggest non-holiday!
THE SPECIAL STATUS OF CHRISTMAS In spite of irrelevant and even irreverant customs which go under the general c ategory of Christcelebrations mas is right hakespeare S when he speaks of the extra special status of Christmas.
Some say that ever season that 'gainst comes Wherein Our Saviour's birth is celebrated The bird of dawning singeth all night long. And then. they say, no spirit dare stir abroad, The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike. No fairy takes nor witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious the time.
"TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY"
The Bard is right because he is in full accord with the angel's words: "you have nothing to fear I come to proclaim good news to you — tidings of great joy to be shared by the whole people. This day in David's City a Saviour has been born to you, the Messiah and Lord- (Lk. 2:10-11). Yet. there was a time was when Christmas banned as a feast and its celebration was punishable by law. And so, there was no merriment in Merrie Olde England on Christmas morn, 1647. The Puritan Parliament had passed an ordinance making the celebration of Christmas a crime. When the tide of intolerance turned against them, many of the Puri-
• By Father LOUIS RONGIONE, Augustinian tans came to the colonies seeking religious freedom. One thing, however, they took with them — the ban against Christmas, and so we find, in some of the American colonies customs and laws hostile to any Christmas festivities. Naturally, there were those who defied both law and custom and continued in the old tradition of making merry at Christmas. Washington George crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 to surprise and defeat the Hessian troops stationed at Trention. bold Washington's venture succeeded because the Hessians, contrary to the current customer, were revelling in the Yuletide spirits and so relaxed their vigilance.
OPPOSITION Denominational opposition to even the religious observance of Christmas continued well into the 19th Century, as an announcement in the December 26, 1855, issue of the New York Times attest: "The Churches of the Baptists, Presbyterians, and Methodists were not open on December 25. "They do not accept the day as a Holy One, but the Episcopalian. Catholic and German Churches were all open."

Today, all Christians again observe Christmas. Even non-Christians, by a sort of spiritual osmosis, are influenced by and take part in many of the customs and activities associated with Christmas observances.
MOUSE STOPS THE MUSIC Clement Moore wrote that on the night before Christmas "not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." Yet, a mouse did stir in the organ loft of the old church of St. Nicholas in the little Austrian village of Oberndorf, on the night of December 25, 1818. Not only did the mouse stir, but he bit a hole in the leather bel lows of the church organ. parish young The Josef Father priest. Mohr and the organist. Franz Gruber were confronted with a crisis — Christmas Mass without orgain music!
HYMN AND A GUITAR Both, however, were equal to the challenge and combined forces to compose what has become an immortal hymn of Christian joy, and so on Christmas Eve, Father Mohr sang and Franz Gruber accompanied him on the guitar for the first rendition of "Silent Night,"
May we close with the majestic words of St. John- which express so aptly the spiritual birth of Christ in every human heart: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we have seen his glory: the glory of an only Son coming from the Father, filled with enduring love. (In. 1:14).

ADDRESS
WAKAYAMA, JAPAN. — Christmas in Japan is the "biggest non-holiday anywhere in the world," according to Columban Father Kevin Flinn, veteran missionary here. Though it is a Matsuri (celebration) in the Japanese style, Christmas lacks any Christian meaning for the great majority of the people. "In fact, Christ was really never in the Japanese Christmas," the missionary says. "And now, what little there was of Him is fast disappearing. "Even the manger scenes are becoming rare. Where displays used to have the Three Kings presenting a Christmas gift of Suntory whiskey to the Christ Child in the manger, now Hawaiian hula girls or jollythemes have good-cheer taken over," reports the Columban.

Thompson, Francis British poet, was attending Mass on Christmas Day,1892, when he was inspired to write the lovely poem "Ex Ore Infantium." - The title, literally translated means "out of he babes" and refers to: "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings fashioned you have praise" (Ps.8.)
Better known to us as "Little Jesus", Thompson's poem captures the piety, simplicity, and humility so essential to the true Christmas spirit. Let us quote from the first and last verse of this lovely poem: Little Jesus wast Thou shy Once. and just so small as I? And what did it feel like to be Out of Heaven, and just like me? Didst Thou sometimes think of there. And ask where all the angels were? So, a little Child, come down And hear a child's tongue like Thy own; Take me by the hand and walk, And listen to my babytalk.

Religious programmes
The first Christmas celebrations in Japan came with the Dutch traders in Nagasaki in the late 1500's, When Christianity was banned in 1600, the parties went on as an end-of-theyear celebration. After the Christian persecutions ended in the mid 19th century, Christmas was observed in a _sober, quiet manner. It was not until World War II ended that the big Christmas boom came via the American occupation army. After the dismal years of the war. the Japanese people were quick to seize on this new occasion for a family - centred festival. And gift giving comes second nature to the Japanese, reports Father Flinn The merchants capitalise on that with "bargain sales" —another chance to get some of the fat bonuses given at this time.
