Spiritual Renewal-1 Solid base for growth V ATICAN CITY: "The role of the leader in the charismatic movement is firstly to give the example of prayer in his own life," Pope John Paul II told the Fourth International congress of Charismatic Renewal last month. At a ceremony at the Lourdes grotto in the Vatican gardens a week before he was w ounded the pope told the 600 participants that the choice of Rome for their conference was a special sign of their understanding of the importance of being rooted in that Catholic unity of faith and charity which finds its visible centre in the See of Peter.

Record There no doubt was some blessed period when the liturgical calendar — and particularly the great span from Easter to Pentecost — profoundly shaped the life and spiritual vision of the community. While the major feasts can barely be heard above the din of modern living the aftermath of Pentecost through to Corpus Christi makes • even less impression. This is a sad loss for the Feast of the Blessed Trinity, all but forgotten except for desk calendar reminders that it is one way of counting Sundays. The indwelling of the Trinity is a mystery with immense pastoral and spiritual application in Christian living. Just as one of the first Christian actions to be learnt — the sign of the cross — becomes embedded in Chrstian experience long before the reality of the mystery is understood so are the accompanying formula words Father, Son and Holy Spirit etched into faith for life. Pope John Paul dearly wanted to lead to last Sunday's Pentecostal gathering in Rome because he wanted the occasion to be a pointer in the quest for church unity. Unlike a simple concurrence on Jesus' scriptural life, the Creed of Nicaea and the formula of Ephesus declaring Jesus to be God and Man call for an act of faith in the church whose bishops of the day were defending truth of revelation entrusted to their hands. Pope John Paul has re-affirmed the determination of the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council to lift its horizons of unity to the Orthodox churches whose faith in those early councils is so strong. He of all Western European bishops has lived closest to the vast Orthodox populations that lie uneasily under the communist shadow. It is a sad reality that Catholics of Western European and Celtic background have been starved for too long of knowledge and appreciation of the spiritual wealth of the Eastern Catholic traditions let alone the Orthodox separated churches. Last week the Australian bishops called on Catholics in this country to take note of the change that is occurring. Only the disaster of World War Two made the Ukrainian Catholic church a presence in our community — still largely unrecognised. Melchite migrants from the Middle East add a new dimension to Catholic life. Relations with Orthodox communities have not been easy because of the comparative geographical isolation in which they have settled here, but even that scene must begin to change. Paradoxically Catholics have been surprised at how quickly barriers of suspicion have fallen between themselves and their A nglican and Protestant neighbours with whom some quite serious theological differences still remain. Unnoticed is the great bond between Catholic and Orthodox churches on the Eucharistic Mystery, the very stumbling block in Catholic relations with Anglicans and others. If with the one we have so much to share in the great Trinitarian celebration this week how deeper go the roots of unity in the mystery of Corpus Christi?

Nuncio observes a new awakening "All sectors of Catholic life are becoming increasingly aware, I think, that the effectiveness of the renewal urged by the Council is to be measured most significantly by the new understanding Catholic families have of themselves and their role in the Church, and by the growth of priestly and religious vocations."

"That they are clear also in Australia is due in very large measure to your leadership and encouragement and to the prayerful apostolic zeal of the whole people of God in Australia, clerical, religious and lay. "Purified by the tribulations of the years immediately after the Council, sadly reduced, perhaps, in some of its cadres, the Church in Australia seems to be girding itself for an exciting and successful launch into the next century Australia's third.

Father George O'Leary, parish priest of North Doubleview, has been given the 1981 Osborne Park R otary club award for outstanding community service that enriched the local community. The award was made on Tuesday by Mr Brian Snader during a special luncheon held in Father O'Leary's honour.
It was the 40th anniversary of his first Mass in Ireland in 1941. Wartime conditions delayed his arrival in Australia until October, 1942. He was assistant priest at Queens Park, South Perth and Palmyra before commencing a series of country appointments at Norseman, Boulder and Ko.ndinin. He tended the new parish of Morley before the arrival of the Carmelite Fathers and succeeded the Dominican Fathers at North Doubleview. NEN00011111'

Reports guide bishops REFUGEES POSE THE WIND OF CHANGE GREAT PROBLEM
There are an estimated 15 million refugees in the world. Australian Catholic Relief said this in its annual report. "The solution to the current refugee crisis is necessarily a very difficult political one," it said. "Even the most optimistic view indicates that the world will be faced with looking after larger numbers of refugees for many years." The Catholic Church, it said, is heavily committed at both national and local level to work in "countries of first asylum and in countries of permanent resettlement." It added: "ACR has continued to give support to agencies working in refugee camps in Thailand and throughout Africa. "ACR has also been involved in supporting the work of groups involved in r efugee settlement in Australia." ACR, it said, has also continued its close liaison with the St Vincent de Paul Society. The two agencies sponsor the Share your Christmas programme which emphasises refugees. ACR also works closely with Austcare, which has provided both ACR and
the St Vincent de Paul Society. among others, for their refugee resettlement activities.

ARMAGH, Northern Ireland (NC) — The deaths of five British soldiers in a bomb blast May 19 was deplored by Cardinal Tomas O'Fiaich of Armagh. "A new and happier Ireland can be created only by the weapons of forgiveness and reconciliation, not by bombs and land mines," the cardinal said. The five soldiers were killed when a land mine blew up their armored car. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) claimed responsibility for the action, saying it was in reprisal for the British government's refusal to grant political prisoner status to IRA members in jail. The blast took place in the Armagh area. -
"The present impasse can only be ultimately solved by a political solution which takes account of the extraordinary situation in the province," he wrote in a letter in The Times of London. An ultimate solution will have to differ from the present policy of direct rule, which cannot continue indefinitely, he added. The bishop suggested that the British government has nothing to lose by looking at the various proposals for a political solution that have been put forward in Great Britain and Ireland. These include proposals for federation, for independence and for dual citizenship. "All such proposals have some merit and the time has surely come for all these possibilities to be aired openly in the House of Commons," he wrote. "At present it seems that the British government is putting itself in a situation of inflexibility which may be a disservice to the longterm good of the province," said the bishop. "It is only within the context of openness and willingness to listen to all possibilities that world opinion will understand the complexities of the political problems. "It is also only within such a context that the present grave situation at the Maze prison will be resolved." Many appeals for reconciliation by church leaders have fallen of deaf ears because church leaders have no authority to enforce a political solution, the bishop said. "No appeal will succeed without a political base that satisfies the reasonable aspirations of all the citizens" in Northern Ireland, he added. The bishop said he was speaking as a Christian deeply saddened by the disservice to the cause of Christ engendered by the division and violence in Norhtern Ireland and also "for some millions of people in this country who, like myself, are English but of irish parentage, and who are increasingly concerned by the deterioration of the relationship between the peoples of these islands, which should be characterized by mutual sympathy and respect."
Knights built chapel
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NC) — The Knights of Columbus will help build a new chapel and enlarge an existing one in the grottoes of St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. The new chapel will be dedicated to SS. Benedict, Cyril and Methodius, co-patrons of Europe. The chapel will be established in an area adjoining the Polish chapel, which is dedicated to Our Lady of Czestochowa, patroness of Poland. The area currently serves as a storage space for some marble pieces discovered during the excavations under St Peter's Basilica. An altar facing the people will be erected within the new chapel. It will be constructed of marble discovered in the ruins of the old basilica built by Emperor Constantine. A bronze relief representing the three co-patron saints of Europe will be placed on the main wall in front of the entrance to the chapel. The chapel to be enlarged is that of Our Lady of Czestochowa, which has drawn an increasing number of pilgrims since Pope John Paull II, former archbishop of Cracow, Poland, was elected pope.
Five fusiliers of F entry
THE LAST CONVERTABLE, the television adaptation based on Anton Myrer's best selling romantic novel will be presented on Channel Seven as a six hour mini-series on Wednesday at 9.35pm with the final two episodes on Thursday and Friday nights. The story concerns a group of Harvard classmates. It begins during the Autumn of 1944 and follows them to the class reunion, s ome 25 years later in 1969. It is the story of the life and loves of those five school-mates — the Five Fusiliers of F Entry — and includes their military service in W orld War II and continues into their post war disillusionment. The focal point for all of them is a luxurious Packard Super 8 C onvertible. Their youthful exuberance and naivete is apparent in the pleasure they derive from the Packard. They all dub the Packard The Empress. The Packard is successively owned by the five Harvard classmates of widely differing social backgrounds. The story spans three decades and is a searching and compassionate portrayal of the way things were —the portrait of a generation's struggle in war and peace to come to terms with themselves. The stars are Perry King, Bruce Boxleitner, Deborah Raffin, Edward Albert, John Shea, Michael Noun, Caroline Smith, Sharon Gless and Kim Darby. Stuart Whitman, Vic Morrow and Sam Weisman all take guests starring roles throughout the three episodes. Handsom socialite Russ Currier is played by Perry King, ambitious student Ron 'Dal' Dalrymple is
played by Albert and serious scholarship student George Virdon is played by Boxleitner. Radcliffe College student Chris Farris (Deborah Raffin) is the romantic focus for all five Harvard students, but she chooses Russ. Hysteria follows the outbreak of World War II during the students' sophomore year. Chris becomes pregnant, inspite of the femme fatale machinations of Kay Haddon (Sharon Gless) who is determined to have Russ for herself.
George shows dogged devotion to Chris and then the fifth member of the clan Jean des Barres is killed while in the service...word of his death brings home the war with cruel realism. In episode two, unaware of Chris' condition, Russ joins the Navy and George offers to marry the frantic girl; instead she marries Dal without revealing her condition to him. George then joins the army and is posted overseas. Dal uses the service to plan his. post war career and Russ, who des-
pises the Navy, uses it as the basis for his first novel. In episode three, after the war, Russ throws a reunion party at his parents' home, but things start to go wrong. Terry (John Shea) encounters Ann (Kim Darby) and leaves while Russ begins an affair with Russ' younger sister and Chris realises how lucky she was that she never married Russ. Jilted by Russ, Terry's sister tries to commit suicide but is saved by George, whose wife, Nancy, bit-

Harper is not a glamorous James Bond type in this film, rather more the earthy Marlowe character as is evidenced in the opening scene where Harper, unshaven and gradually awakening from a hangover, makes his breakfast coffee.
4,4*
Finding no coffee in the office he wearily takes yesterday's grounds from the garbage and makes a perfectly horrible cup of coffee. Harper is the anti-heroic, boozing and slightly worn private eye. His philosphy for life in Los Angeles is: "The bottorn is loaded with nice people — only cream and bastards rise." Harper has all the style of the old Bogart movies with its many red herrings, the night-time milieu of Southern California with its odd assortments of grotesques, the brutal cynicism and mockery of the situation, and the appearance of Lauren Bacall.

BISH•PS WAN AID INCREASED C atholic Bishops of Australia have expressed their concern that the Australian overnmen t, in its forthcoming budget, may reduce the allocation for overseas G aid, at their annual Conference in Sydney.

In 1976-77 the figure was 0.46% of the GNP, but in 1979-80 it had dropped to 0.43%. In a statement issued during their half yearly meeting in Sydney the A ustralian Bishops said:
the Australian GNP allocated for overseas aid has decreased. Australian Bishops also want the government to increase its support of development work through the non-government organisation. In 1980-81 Australia UN target channelled only 1% of its o verseas development "This is the target set by assistance through non government organisations the United Nations. and the bishops have "The amount allocated requested that this be for this aid has increased, raised to 2% as a step yet the actual percentage of t owards matching the international average of 4.5%. "We recognise that in the past year the Government has maintained the status of the Australian Development Assistance Bureau," the bishops said. Status maintained "It has also granted tax deductability to some donations for overseas aid. "We appreciate these actions. "We believe that Australia must accept its responsibility to people in developing countries and respond as generously as possible to their needs.
Money sent ACR fight for to protect human dignity children SYDNEY: The Australian Bishops Conference has expressed its support for Australian Catholic Relief saying its efficiency is widely recognised and its administration costs remarkably low.
Noting that Project Compassion and other programmes promote awareness of the reality and c auses of world poverty a statement issued by the bishops said: Aid to developing countries should be based on two main principals: human dignity and social justice. "We should give priority to projects that tackle the causes of poverty, hunger, ignorance and injustice. It is not good enough to concentrate on the symptoms. "We are opposed to programmes that are merely paternalistic in their approach. A philosophy that sees aid as a mere "handout" does not respect the dignity of the people being helped. -It often ignores the needs and problems of the poor as they themselves see them. "Help should be offered in a spirit of partnership. We can learn much from the poor, and they should have a say in how our shared resources should be used. "We believe that rich and poor countries depend on one another. The problem of world poverty is not something that exists "over there". "Poverty in the world is caused not only by lack of resources and ill fortune, but also by unjust social, political and economic forces.
Australian Catholic Relief, responding to an urgent request from Lebanon for aid for victims of the excalating conflict there, sent $5000 to help protect children.
E arlier this year ACR sent $5000 to provide necessities for fleeing refugees.
This latest money will go toward the construction of underground shelters for school children in Tyre, the southern coastal town which has been a target for repeated air strikes and artillery attacks over the past few years. The constant shelling and c ounter shelling has forced many inhabitants to leave the area. The only ones now left are families who have nowhere to go or who financially cannot afford to leave. Two hundred and fifty
children from these families are the ones who will benefit from the project. They are attending a school run by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition. The school has been hit by shellfire on a number of occasions this year, and the Provincial of the Order wanted to close the school. But the sisters insisted on staying with the poor of Tyre. The French-born superior of the school, Sister Marie Jabre, has been d ecorated by the French government for constant courage under bombardment in Tyre.

KIM BERLEY LAY MISSIONARIES
WHAT ARE THEY? T hey start by being average practical Catholics prepared to share whatever expertise they have with the Aboriginal children and adults of the North-West of A ustralia. They serve the Church, placing themselves at the disposal of the Bishop, "as vicar and legatee of Christ", (Vat II, P382), and assist him in a spirit of dedication. . They give themselves totally for 2 years, living in groups, co-operating in fraternal love in the spirit of the Gospels, serving on isolated missions and townships. They are not attached to any religious order, fully accepting their Christian duty to evangelise according to their own individual abilities. Under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop they have their own formally constituted Association and elected Council. Lay Missionaries do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their f ares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.
THE KIMBERLEYS or the Diocese of Broome is the far North-West part of Australia, roughly 3 times the size of Victoria. A subtropical region, with a 'wet' season through the summer months; of varied terrain with beautiful beaches but a large part taken by the Great S andy Desert. S ince 1959 many admirable Australians have contributed in no small way to the personal growth and education of the Aboriginal people as lay missionaries. They have formed close and lasting ties. Others are needed to continue and improve existing services. G ENERAL ASSISTANTS including Clerks, Tradesmen, Mission & Hostel Assistants, Store -Keeper, Accountant, Typist are needed for 1981 .

The Discalced Carmelites in 1981 are trying to have less structures, but we have to retain the original spirit of our Order-that can never change. We still retain the wearing of our distinctive habit, but, we have streamlined a lot. We try to see now our life, a vision of Carmel against the life of Christ in the modern world.

"Our Reformers had the life and spirit of Our Lady very much in view when they seton foot their great enterprise. From the beginning we were called the Brothers of Our Lady of Mt Carmel. We are an Order dedicated not to any saint or prophet or celebrity, but, to the blessed Mother of God.,

His secondary studies in the Cork Carmelite minor seminary were followed by profession in 1948 and ordination in Dublin in 1954. He spent five years attached to the novitiate community in Galway before being posted in 1959 to one of the two parishes administered by Irish Carmelites in the Philippines. • During his 14 year stay there he was for five years in charge of novices, five of whom are now Filipino Carmelite priests. Since arriving in WA in 1973 he has had particular charge of the Hampton Park section of the Morley parish saying Mass each Sunday in the church hall there.
Prophet's sons
A Discalced Carmelite Order founded in the world of today would likely be less structured than in past centuries and more simplified since it is meant to reflect the life of Christ and Our Lady in the world, according to M orley Carmelite, Father H. Joe Kelly.
