How Marriage Encounter can enrich life
The problem with many marriages is that, after a while the couple settle down to live on the assumption that each knows what is going on in the other person's mind, according to a Marriage Encounter specialist.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ASKED MORE A WEDDING
Nearly one thousand missionaries are from Poland
ROME (NC). — The Rome Press office of the Polish Bishops' Conference has announced that nearly 1,000 Polish priests and Religious were at work in world missions during 1976. The Press office said that last year 90 new Polish missionaries left for mission stations. That number was a considerable increase over the statistics of previous years. In 1975, the number of new Polish missionaries was 68. In 1972, only 54 people left Poland for the Missions. The new missionaries in 1976 consisted of 34 Religious and 13 diocesan priests, 37 Sisters, three Brothers and three lay persons. Africa received 52 of the missionaries, and the rest went to Asia and Oceania. Libya received the largest number to one country, 23 Sisters and two priests.

PRIEST MAY DELAY
If the priest believes that the couple are at the moment unfit for marriage, he may, in an e xtreme case, refuse to perform the wedding until he is sure that difficulties between the marrying partners have been satisfactorily resolved. These discussions between a priest and the marrying couple are confidential and the parents of either party are not necessarily entitled to have reasons for a delay explained to them. Should an unmarried woman find herself pregnant, it is especially important that she be under no pressure to contract a marriage inadvisedly.
LIFE COMMITMENT!
This is not a satisfactory approach in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Couples preparing for marriage can expect the priest, at some time during the several interviews that are required by archdiocesan law, to carefully question them — even separately — on whether their commitment to lifelong marriage is as sound as the couple may profess. The seriousness of these and other related questions regarding the right to children and marital relations all support the present insistence that marriage preparation begin at least three months before the wedding, and preferably as soon as a definite commitment to marriage is made.

Water access 'human right/ says Vatican MAR DEL. PLATA, Arengtina (NC). — Access to Water is a human right and millions of the poor throughout the world should be given that access, said the Vatican delegation to the United Nations Water Conference here. Some 145 delegations, most of them from Third World countries suffering from droughts or other water problems, are attending the twoweek meetings to debate ways to avoid a global crisis experts foresee by the end of this century. The Vatican delegation said: "Take the Sahel region south of the Sahara (in Africa), burdened by successive droughts and famine. The desert there moves against inhabited lands by 30 miles a year. That is death to these peoples."

Pope rejects enlarged lay I NEWS IN PARS ministries' role as way to solve the vocations crisis GOOD FRIDAY AT BINDOON
VATICAN CITY (NC). — Pope Paul has flatly rejected the idea that on increase in the type of ministries entrusted to lay people is a proper solution for the vocation crisis.
The Way of the Cross will be conducted at the hillside stations overlooking Keaney College, Bindoon, commencing at noon on Good Friday, April 8. Visitors are then welcome to stay for the solemn Commemoration of the Death of the Lord at 3 p.m. Any singers or folkgroups who wish to contribute music for the Way of the Cross are invited to contact Father Jim O'Brien. at Shenton Park presbytery (81 5383).

POPE SPEAKS OUT...INJUSTICE In his 1977 Lenten message Pope Paul VI said: "Nearly 10 years ago our Encyclical Populorum Progressio on the development of peoples, was like a 'cry of anguish, in the name of the Lord', addressed to the Christian communities and to all people of goodwill. Today, we would like to renew that solemn appeal . . . -We ask you to go out to meet poor Lazarus, in his hunger and misery. Make yourself his neighbour, so that he can recognise in your eyes the eyes of Christ welcoming him, and in your hands the hands of the Lord sharing his gifts. And respond generously to the appeals that will be made to you in your own local Churches, so that you can relieve those who are most disinherited, and share in the progress of the people who are most deprived."

A COMPETITION FOR STUDENTS: $3,000 in prizes JOHN BEDE POLDING, a Benedictine monk who became Australia's first Catholic bishop, has been called the Father of the Australian Church.
H,
He died 100 years ago. To mark this historic centenary in the life and history of the Church in this country, "The Catholic Weekly" (Sydney), announces the launching of a special Polding Centenary Competition for all students, from primary to tertiary. More than $3,000 in prizes will be offered in various categories, making the Polding Centenary Competition one of the largest and most prestigious ever launched. And since in some sections the competition is not restricted to literary entries, it will be of interest as well to students with a talent for graphic art. These entries could include posters, collages, photographs or movies, painting, graphic projects with pictures and commentary, giving wide scope for a variety of interests and approaches. There are five sections: tertiary, senior secondary, junior secondary, senior primary and junior primary. In the tertiary section, which is restricted to literary entries, the prizes are $500 (first), $250 (second) and $100 (third). The length of entry must not exceed 5,000 words, and could include such studies as a critical appreciation of Polding's influence on religious education, or be a short story, a play or TV series, or any field or discipline which can be related to the life and times of Polding. The senior secondary section is also restricted to literary entries, but the length of entry should not exceed 3,000 words. The junior secondary section has both literary and graphic art categories, divided into literary section, major graphic art and minor graphic art sections. The senior primary also has literary and graphic sections, and the junior primary (for kindergarten and the next three years- in primary school) can be a project in any form on Polding and his times. In addition, a prize of $300 will be awarded to a school in each of the four schools sections of the competition.

MENG'S CONCERNS WERE "THOSE OF A GREAT BISHOP"; THE CENTENARY MASS One of the greatest needs of our time is for the bishops and their people to seek together, in faith, a deeper understanding of the bishop's ministry. Marist Father John Thornhill, one of Australia's foremost theologians, said this in his occasional sermon at the Polding Commemorative Mass for the clergy, in St. Mary's Cathedral last Saturday. Cardinal Freeman was the chief concelebrant and was assisted by Archbishop Carroll, Bishops Muldoon, Cremin and Murphy. Father Thornhill added that it was one of the sad aspects of historical development in the life of the Church that we had come to isolate our bishops. "We have dressed them in strange robes; we often treat them in a way which makes it difficult for them not to feel remote," he said. "By dealing with them as if they were more than human, we make it harder for them to share with us who they really are.
'Example for the whole flock' can
"And it is surely only by doing that that they truly become 'an example for the whole flock to follow,' as St. Peter's first letter tells us. they should be. "This attitude to the bishop is really a distortion of a great truth at the heart of the Church's life. "Without the bishop's apostolic gift, the mystery of Christ, which is the life of the Church, is not fully present." Father Thornhill quoted the second century martyr, St. Ignatius of Antioch who wrote to the Christians of Smyrna: "Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father . . . Make sure that no step affecting the Church is ever taken by anyone without the bishop's sanction. The sole Eucharist you should consider authentic is one that is celebrated by the bishop himself, or by some person authorised by him. Where the bishop is to be seen, there let all his people be; just as wherever Jesus Christ is present, we have the world-wide Church."
Vatican view
Father Thornhill added that Vatican II expressed the same truth by declaring that the bishops and their helpers in the priesthood "are so conformed to Christ the Priest that they can act in the person of Christ the Head. "But what is this great gift which is given to the Church through the bishop? Certainly, it is not a miraculous gift of administrative abilities," he said. "When Polding had been made a bishop he was no better as an administrator than he would have been had he remained a simple Benedictine monk. "In fact, problems of administration were to he the cause of some of his greatest sorrows.
"True greatness
WI
"The true greatness of a bishop consists in leadership in the faith. It is for this that the blessing of the Holy Spirit is given to him. "The great 'bishops in the history of the Church have been those who made Christ known to their people. By their words, by their spending of themselves and by the pattern of their lives they have shown what a surpassingly beautiful thing it is to submit to the rule and Lordship of Christ ever present to his beloved people. "As it uncovers the real man, history shows us that the concerns of John Bede Polding's life were the concerns of a great bishop."
His goal
Father Thornhill said that the real greatness of Archbishop Polding was shown in the goal towards which his far-reaching plans and his pastoral energies were directed. "He was extraordinary in his time for the clarity with which he recognised that the Church's laity is called to real sanctity," he said. "As the bishops of Australia have pointed out in their joint Pastoral commemorating this centenary, for John Bede Polding, 'saints, not legislators, are the true agents of civilisation.' "The sanctity which he wished to foster among his people was associated with his hopes and prayers for the young nation with which he had thrown in his lot. 'Before everything else we are Catholics; and next, by a name swallowing up the distinctions of origin, we are Australians . . .' These are his words.
° Archbishop POLDING
Tolerance encouraged
"He prized the freedom which he recognised as a part of Australia's heritage and of great importance for the life of the Church in this country. He rejoiced in and encouraged the spirit of tolerance whereby Australians were able to set aside the differences and misunderstandings of tired old Europe. He shared in the hopes his contemporaries had for a great future for Australia. "As an heir to the great traditions of Benedictine monasticism, Polding had an awareness of the way in which Catholicism has helped to mould Western civilisation.
Feeling for laity
"He knew that the Church in Australia would only fulfill its mission when a laity with spiritual maturity made their full contribution to the life of the nation. "As he sought the ways in which this growth may be fostered in the laity, he showed his true stature by pointing to many of these things which have been taken for granted in our day in the Church's programme of renewal; the priesthood of the laity; the importance of the liturgy in the life of God's people; and the 'Church' of the home — the so-calted 'domestic Church.' "These insights alone would be enough to establish him as one of the most remarkable Catholic bishops of the 19th century. "The words of his pastorals on these subjects will always stand as a monument to him, and a challenge to those of us who come after him.
His 'solution'
"In concluding their joint Pastoral, our bishops have asked this question: 'The centenary of his death poses this question, have we fully explored the Polding solution?" "It is a striking phrase; in it we may sum up some of the lessons which may be learned from this 'remembering' of our first 'leader.' "Polding's 'solution' to the problem of how the Australian Church might fulfill its mission in history was the fostering of a genuine sanctity among the laity.
Together
"Essential to that solution is an episcopal ministry in which bishops and people together seek the ways of God. "In 1862, he expressed this unity of bishop and people with these moving words. Introducing a second Lenten Pastoral for that year, he wrote: 'thanks and praise to the God of all mercies, I have heard that much good has resulted from what He himself put into our heart to say to you. He has glorified His own name and work, and poured out upon His unworthy servant an abundant consolation.' "

"Not every Bishop spoke. The discussion revealed all were in favour and only the form of the Bull itself was discussed. "Perfect harmony prevailed. At the final session the Pope presided and was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering. "A special week of prayer to the Holy Spirit was held before the day fixed for the Definition on Friday. December 8, 1854. "The Pope ordered all the relics of the Roman Churches to be exposed for the veneration of the people. "On December 7, a / strict fast was enjoined on all participants. All that week it rained incessantly, day and night. "Friday, December 8, dawned crisp and clear. The city of Rome was ready with its illuminations. "Cardinals, archbishops and, bishops, assembled in the Sistine Chapel. "The Procession moved off at 9 a.m. to the chanting of the Litany of the Saints. "Before the mitred prelates marched the Swiss Guards, in their picturesque uniforms designed by Michael Angelo. "The Noble Guards followed in their brilliant uniforms. _ Finally came the Pope in his Chair of State.

"Pope Pius IX is seated to receive the respect of the cardinals and the
assembled prelates from the Universal Catholic Church. As the Pope entones the "Gloria in Excelsis" a ray of winter sun shot through the lofty dome of St. Peter's to encircle his head like a halo, everyone present remarked it, for this holy man of God had a deep devotion to personal Mary Immaculate. "This was the only shaft of sunlight during that week of incessant rain. Mary was mindful of her devoted Pope and his people.
IN TEARS "After the Gospel was read in Greek and Latin the Pope walked to the platform to perform his most solemn act, the definition and promulgation of a dogma. "As the vast assembly arose in hushed expectancy, and in deep silence, they listened to the resonant, clear voice of the Pope reading the Bull (Ineffabilis Deus The Ineffable God). "The clear voice began to falter, betraying the Pope's emotion and when he came to the words: Declaramus' (We now declare) the voice was silent and in its place came the sobbing and tears of that grand old man, now fully conscious of the signal honour granted to him, to proclaim in the presence of the prelates of the world, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception "Urbi et Orbi" — (to Rome and to the world).
BELLS PEAL "Many a tear dimmed the eyes of the prelates. priests, and laity, at the sight of that strong man. Pius IX, moved to tears. "Recovering himself, on he read and at the finish the canons of the Fort of St. Angelo boomed through the vast dome of St. Peter's. "The bells of Rome began to peal and everyone declared it a holiday as they viewed the illuminations. "On the next day we. Bishops, assembled in secret consistory to re-
ceive a gold medal commemorating the great event and a picture of the Immaculate Conception. "The medal was made from a gift to the Pope of Australian gold by the 'Diggers' of Ballarat."
FROM PERTH Dr. Serra, co-ad jutor Bishop of Perth, dedicated the Diocese to the Immaculate Conception in 1855, just one year after the dogma was proclaimed, and named December 8 to be celebrated as the Titular Feast of the Cathedral Church \ of Perth. The exquisite Lady Chapel of the New k Cathedral, opened on May 4, 1930, has a, ' painting of the Immaculate Mother of God, given to Archbishop Clune by Pope Pius XI.) It is a copy of Marl masterpiece in Mad- , rid's Pradoe Gallery. 4
MARY'S ANSWER If Mary was to express the innermost truth, her real worth before God, she could only answer St. Bernadette by saying: "I am the Immaculate'. Conception. -"I am his ideal of created holiness. I am his, perfect one." Surely we can never thank God enough for all there is in her light and grace and glory — for, all that raises our hearts'. and fills us with the hope of better things. And for our youth, what confidence springsi; from the thought of the,, sinless One who is their loving mother. The practice of invoking her each day, morn 1. ing and evening, with the three Hail Mary's in honour of her Immaculate Purity, is a sure defence against the weakness of the flesh, the corruption of the world, and the wiles of the devil. "For all high thoughts "Thou bring'st to mind "We love thee: love thee better yet, "For all that taint on human kind "Thy brightness helps us to forget." NEXT WEEK: st. Bernadette.
BISHOPS WARN AGAINST BOGUS CATHOLIC AGENCY ROME (NC). — The Polish bishops have warned Cad". elks abroad not to support in any way an apparently Polish Catholic relief agency which, they claim, was set up by the Communist Government to undermine the bishops' satithority. In a cOmmunive released here by the Polish bishops' Press office, the Polish Bishops' Conference said that the government-run Catholic Caritas Association was a "camp of political activity and an organisation to attract Church personnel with the more or less clear intention of putting them in opposition to Church authorities." According to the statement, the Communists have set)* a special booklet marking the 25th anniversary of Polish Caritas to foreign Catholics. The declaration emphasised that, after disbanding the Church-run Caritas in 1950, "Stale authorities created the Catholic Caritas Association, which is not linked with -the Church or the hierarchy in any way." According to the bishops, the Government association has kept its charitable works to the bare minimum in recent years and is now concentrating on winning over Church personnel to a more pro-Government stance. The bishops statement admitted that certain Religious have Church permission to work with the State-rur Caritas organisation. But the bishops emphasised that the exception was made only for Religious who worked ir homes for the chronically ill. These homes, said the statement, were taken away from the Church in 1950, and placed under the State-sponsored Caritas.
