For Columban Father Hugh Sands it's a bit different. One of his memories is of a Christmas many years ago and of a man who was Red China's late Communist leader, Mao Tse Tung. "It was three years after I arrived in China that I was sent to a little village called Chi Wu Tai," Father recalls Sands; "I was to take the place of the pastor while he was in hospital." The day after his arrival. Communist forces came and took him prisoner. This was in August, 1931. The dragged Reds Father Sands with them wherever they went until December, when they arrived at Red Lake, the Communist stronghold. "A few days before Christmas, a little lad, about eight years old, came into the cell where I was being held. "He had a white rabbit with him. "I never had been close to a white rabbit

before, and I thought it was a queer beastie, with its pink eyes and all," says the Columban. The boy was very friendly and offered the rabbit to the prisoner, Since Father Sands had little to eat himself, he turned down the gift, knowing he could never care for it. The boy, who was one of Mao's sons, persisted in offering the rabbit to the missionary. "The next day he came again, this time with a big yellow, freshlooking orange in his hands." Father Sands said. "We peeled it together and divided it between the two of us. "I never tasted anything so wonderful in all my life as that orange I shared with Mao's son." On Christmas afternoon, Mao himself paid the priest a call. The first topics of conversation were politics and religion. Then they began to talk about the difficulties of the Chinese language.
"I told him how I once asked a boy to go down and sweep the

ADVENT AND PENANCE (3) Brazilian bishops condemn CONVERSION OF HEART military rulers' policy; "BEAUTIFUL"
Last Sunday's Gospel talked about conversion — a favourite Advent theme, especially with John the Baptist, and a much-too-neglected part of the sacrament of Penance. Conversion means simply turning around from something to something else. In our religion, it means turning from our faults and failings to a more perfect service of God, or, in extreme cases, turning away from our attachment to serious sin back to friendship with God. Conversion of heart is a beautiful and satisfying thing. It is a condition of that joy St. Paul urges on his people: "Rejoice in the Lord always!" There is, in tact, a Greek word that the Church likes to use these
days that says the same thing. That word is "metanoia,- which means to change one's heart, to shift one's point of view. Conversion of heart, or metanoia, had little meaning in our understanding of the sacrament of Penance when we were young. The nearest we came to it was something called "a firm purpose of amendment," a declaration that "I won't do it again." And this in turn • was closely tied together with "being sorry for my sins." Now, there's nothing wrong with being sorry for one's sins. But what a sorry kind of sorrow most of us felt we were bound to. Sorrow for sins meant

primarily feeling miserable over what had been done. We used to ask ourselves, especially in the face of more serious sin: Am I REALLY sorry? understanding Our seemed to be that the essential for God's forgiveness was that we crawl low enough. Only when we felt sufficiently cheap, depending on the size of our sin, could we confidently approach the sacrament and expect God's pardon. In other words, for many Catholics, if not most, self debasement was the key. To the extent this attitude was (or is?) present in our approach to the sacrament of Reconciliation, to that extent it is an insult to God, as if God were somehow appeased or satisfied by seeing us grovel. Only a mentally ill parent takes delight and satisfaction from a child's discomfort, shame, and debasement, even after a wrong is done. Look at the mother whose child has offended her. The only thing she really wants, the only thing ever wanted by someone who loves us, is that we turn back — a conversion. Where, we might wonder, did our sorrow go wrong? Its problem was that it went only half way.
Metanoia, conversion of heart, is not only turning FROM something, it Is also turning TO something, or someone. Abhoring our gin, and ourselves for commiting the sin, Is only half the story. The second half, and by far the most important, is turning again to God, simply telling Him: I've come back. Remember the prodigal son? The young bounder had all kinds of repentant speeches prepared, but he hardly had the chance to begin them. The father "saw him Coming from a distance," and cared about only one thing, "My son who was gone has returned." What a difference this would make in our feelings about, and our use of, the sacrament of Reconciliation. It's the only way we can achieve *hat the Advent season points us toward. As the Church tells us in the introduction to the new Rite of Penance, "We can only approach the Kingdom of Christ by metanoia." This is a profound change of the whole person by which one begins to consider, judge, and arrange his life according to the holiness and love of God, made manifest in his Son in the last days, and given to us in abundance." John the Baptist would have liked that!

in Christmas God of Word 'A CHILD IS BORN TO US AND A SON celebration
Monsignor J. T. McMahon says:
I S GIVEN TO US' These days are so rich in food for thinking in the heart. before time This Christmas we call Advent, which means arrival. The purpose of Advent is to prepare us for the arrival of the Christ Child. With sighs of longing, Isaia foretells the coming of the Babe. By means of metaphors taken from nature, Isaia compares this deliverance to a precious seed committed to the soil, to be made fertile by rain and dew. This fertile soil, saturated with blessings, is Mary. Christ, Himself, is the which fruit blessed springs from this Virgin soil. "Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the Just: "Let the earth be opened and bud forth a Saviour."
EIVIMANUEL Isaias looked to Advent when he said: "A Child is born to us, and a Son is given to us, Whose government is upon His shoulders: and His name shall be called meaning, Emmanuel, God with us." Those are comforting words, assuring us that the Christ Child is born for us; given to us, to be near us, with us, among us, one with us in the natural state. One we can approach with confidence because, for love of us, He became like unto us in all things except sin, as St. Paul says.
PREPARATION All these days our minds should picture the events that lead to the stable of Bethlehem. At the home in Nazareth, all preparations for the birth of the Babe were made. Joseph had put his best work into the cradle he made, the best cradle in Nazareth. Ann, the Mother of Mary, fussed about as grandmothers do, planning all arrangements. The baby clothes are ready, made by Mary. And then, into this happy home, filled with j oyous expectations, cames the will of God in the summons of the Roman Emperor that they be enrolled in their own centre at Bethlehem.
LONG JOURNEY The happy home is upset by their hurry and anxiety as, in great haste, they set out on that long journey of 80 miles. Joseph borrowed a donkey for Mary to ride on, and off they went, carrying nothing except a little money. It was an anxious journey, as both Mary and Joseph feared that they might not reach Bethlehem in time.
On Christmas Eve, let us, like the Shepherds, go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. St. Luke's simple, but glowing words, tell us what happened at Bethlehem nearly 2,000 years ago.
BETHLEHEM Caesar Augustus, looking out upon a peaceful Roman Empire, decided to take a census of his wide-flung colonies and diverse peoples. Into the quiet pastoral land of Palestine came this further intrusion of the might of Rome; and, grumblingly, the people obeyed. In answer to the proclamation, Joseph saddled the donkey; and with Mary, who was heavy with child, set forth from his carpenter's shop in the village of Nazareth in the province of Galilee; and along the "Way of the Sea" travelled slowly to another village called Bethlehem, a few miles outside Jerusalem; because Bethlehem was the enrolling centre of all who belonged to the family and tribe of David.
FIRST BORN And it came to pass that, when they arrived at the stable, her days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born Son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger. Mary and Joseph fell on their knees to adore this Wonder-Child, this Child of Promise, this child who had filled their hearts and minds since that day of the Annunciation, when Mary heard from Gabriel the Archangel, that she would conceive and bring forth a child through the power and operation of the Holy Spirit.
VISITORS And the patience and trusting silence of Joseph is now fully rewarded as he gazes on the sleeping Babe. The angel was right when he told him not to fear. As Mary and Joseph gazed on the wonderful Babe, their joyous contemplation was interrupted by the soft footfalls of their first visitors. Out on the hillsides of Bethlehem the Shepherds were keeping the night-watches over their flocks. And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood by them; and the brightness of God shone round about them, and they feared with a great fear.
A SAVIOUR And the Angel said to them: "Fear not, for I bring you tidings of great joy

that shall be to all the people; for this day is born to you a Saviour, Who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. "And this shall be a sign to you: you shall find the Infant wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and laid in a manger. And, suddenly, there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest; and, on earth, peace to men of good will." So it was that the prophecy of Isaias was fulfilled: "A Child is born to us. A Son is given to us." A new-born Babe, with arms outstretched to bless and to give, is the symbol of Christmas. These baby arms are laden with gifts. Therefore, let us ask that we may receive.
"I am a virgin, how can this be?" This is a concrete realisation of what the words mean and a concrete question placed to God through His angel. • By Dr. CARROLL T. DOZIER, "The Holy Spirit will come to you and God's Bishop of Memphis. He calls us to the considpower will rest on you.

THE DECREE The sacrament of the eucharist was entrusted by Christ to his bride, the Church, as spiritual nourishment and as a pledge of eternal life. The Church continues to receive this gift with faith and love. The celebration of the eucharist in the sacrifice of the Mass is the true origin and purpose of the worship shown to the eucharist outside Mass. The principal reason for reserving the sacrament after Mass is to unite, through sacramental communion, the faithful unable to participate in the Mass, especially the sick and the aged, with Christ and the offering of his sacrifice. In turn eucharistic reservation, which became customary in order to permit the reception of communion, led to the practice of adoring this sacrament and offering to it the worship which is due to God. This cult of adoration is based upon valid and solid principles. Moreover, some of the public and communal forms of this worship were instituted by the Church itself. The rite of Mass has been revised and, in the instruction Eucharisticum mysterium of May 25, 1967, regulations have been published "on the practical arrangements for the cult of this sacrament even after Mass and its relationship to the proper ordering of the sacrifice of the Mass in the light of the regulations of the Second Vatican Council, and of other documents of the Apostolic See on this matter." Now the Congregation for Divine Worship has revised the rites, "Holy Communion and the Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass." These rites, approved by Pope Paul VI are to replace the rites which appear in the Roman Ritual at the present time. They may be used at once in Latin; they may be used in the vernacular from the day set by the episcopal conferences for their territory, after the conferences have prepared a vernacular version and have obtained the confirmation of the Apostolic See. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding. From the office of the Congregation for Divine Worship, June 21, 1973, the feast of Corpus Christi.

term "Benediction" is likely to be the biggest hurdle in implementing the spirit of the present reform. By turning what was intended to be a simple closing gesture — a blessing with the Sacrament — into almost a liturgical ceremony, the real emphasis on prayer and adoration has been obscured.
An alternative form of eucharistic adoration is to use the ciborium from the tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament, as the focus of the prayer. Two candles are indicated for such a ceremony.

Why are young men Big change at W.A. seminary not being attracted to the priesthood? Why are young men not being attracted to the priesthood these days and what changes are necessary to attrect them?
During 1976 St. Charles Seminary Guildford saw a big change in function but 1 was still alive and well towards the end of the year.
At the end of last year its 34th year of existence the seminary seemed close to death. Three Vincentian Fathers were staffing the place for These questions were Celibacy and the rethe benefit of only seven put recently to over 50 strictions on personal students. youth groups throughout freedom were seen by The Vincentians decided the diocese of Auckland, students as obstacles to to leave; the seminary was new Zealand. young men being attractabout to be closed down. ed to the priesthood and Feedback from the Then it was decided to groups showed that there religious life. a house for first year • Father JIM O'BRIEN open There was widespread young people view celistudents at the Marist Brobacy as one major ob- ignorance of the range of thers residence in Subiaco. a priest's pastoral work. stacle to a young man to religious life, Christian However, because the being attracted to the medical students, trainee Father O'Brien said Marist Brothers were not priesthood. teachers, youth groups and that it was interesting to ready to vacate their buildpeople from prayer groups. that notice the session Another major obstacle ings the first year students Besides these live-in weekwhich caused most comthey mention is the narmoved into St. Charles' exends several one day rement at a recent day of rowness of diversity withpecting to move from there treats were conducted at enquiry young for men in the priesthood. in May. the seminary for students interested in priesthood With only four students, from Catholic schools.

"IT IS A SIGN OF THE UNION" By a female, Religious
should produce a living flowering process, not a life-long burial event. There is a way in which other people enter into our celibacy; for a truly celibate life we need the support of others. A cold communitywhich effectively isolates a celibate can do great harm to the growth of positive celibacy in its members. We can never come to God completely by ourselves; we need the inspiration and affection of our fellow men. We should not claim or demand support from others in living the c,elibate life but we shouldbe able to hope for it. For me celibacy is not so much the fact that I am unmarried. It ii a way of trying to love. My commitment to celibacy is weakened whenI break the laws of love by selfishness, uncharitableness, or lack of trust. I can only hope to grow in this commandment to celibacy through growing in love of Christ through prayer and perseverance.

Perhaps it . goes hack. again to the unfortunate name we have attached to this sacrament: Confession. One problem with that label is that it puts the. emphasis on the past. on the sins which, however unfortunately. are now part of our history. In addition to focusing in a frustrating and wrong way on the past. however, the emphasis on "confessing- our sin, as
t rie main part of the sacrdment carries with it a far more serious error. It needs to focus our attention and energy on than ourselves rather God — on OUR sins rather than HIS merciful. forgiving love. For all its semblance of humility, there's a subtle sort of pride here. Even in our sins and our sorrow, we find It nearly impossible to really forget ourselves, to lay it all out before God, to put ourselves totally at His feet, at His mercy. Even in our sins we like to feel there's really something superior about us. Something even God might find surprising, possibly too hot or too big for even Him to handle. We are tempted to feel that our sins are so unique, so special, that
even God finds it difficult to understand and forgive. Furthermore. this insidious kind of pride can strangely show its head when our sins, at least the ones we confess, are mightly pidclly and insignificant. perhaps not even sins at all. The tragedy of all this is not only that it may dishearten us by keeping us distracted from God. who is, after all, the key Person in the sacrament of Penance. It also excuses us from attacking the real problem: Not our sins, but our sinfulness — the selfishness, pride, laziness. greed and discouragement which cause all our sinful actions. and which, therefore, are the real problems. When we can ignore the healing power of God by remaining fascinated. with our own sins, we are
likely to ignore what that healing power is intended to accomplish — the conversion of our hearts — and a willingness to replace selfishness with generosity. pride with humility, laziness with physical and mental alertness, and envy and greed with a spirit of joy and thanksgiving. The spirit of Advent and the spirit of Penance both come down to just one virtue — trust. —We're not afraid to put ourselves, sins, sinfulness and whatever other orneriness flesh is heir to, with total abandon into the hands of the God Who loves us. We have His Word. and our experience, for that. Even for Mary, all her spiritual assets are summed tip in that one word.

It seems crazy that my profound experience of Christmas occurred in then,' but mid-June, Christmas — Christ's Mass — is not a date, its a time of remembering, the sadness of our own sinful state and the joy of a love so great that it would become flesh and suffer death, even death on a cross for us.

THE RECORD
The days before Christmas are Confession time for hundreds and hundreds of Catholics. Priests might believe. • that .this is the only time that most of their people approach the sacrament: but it ought not make them unhappy. it ought to be welcomed. The only disappointment would be that many who do go to confession do not derive the peace. comfort, and certainty of forgiveness that Jesus and His Church mean them to have. Why should this be?

• By Sister M. PH1LOMENA EARLE,
