Covenant power The principle was more than just a good idea: A covenant had within it the power to stimulate the taking of further steps t owards the full unity of the Church of God, he said. Explicit acceptance of the doctrinal understanding of the ministry contained in the covenant report and a c ommitment to future ordinations using a common ordinal would, the cardinal said, be a most important step to be resolved. But from the Catholic point of view he said there were also other problems to be solved, notably the ordination of women.

The Methodist and United Reformed churches have women ministers. The Moravian Church does not, and the Church of England does not, although other churches in the Anglican communion do. On the "highly delicate matter" of the reconciliation of the covenant churches' existing ministries, Cardinal Hume said: "Where I am bound to express considerable hesitation concerns the proposed means of effecting the reconciliation." "If the liturgy for the reconciling of ministers is explicitly not considered to be an ordination to the presbyterate, then the question must be asked: Does the ceremony of reconciliation achieve its desired purpose?"

It was the first visit from Immaculate Heart College, which is a two-year tertiary institution. St Norbert's last year hosted primary children from Kagoshima as part of the Perth-Kagoshima sister city exchange and the previous year pupils from Queens Park college visited Japan. All the visitors are in the English department of the tertiary section of the college which has 670 pupils. On the same campus there is a high school with 1000 students.
Japanese visitors to St Norbert's College will remember Australia through the books that were presented at a farewell assembly at the college last week: (Left to right) Sister Mauko Hirata, Veronica Davin, Miyoko Minami, Sharyne Alberts and Kinue Horinouchi.

Few Catholics In a country where Catholics are less than one per cent of the population it is not surprising that most of the Immaculate Heart students are not Christian. Nevertheless, Christian teaching is part of the college curriculum and each student must have a bible and the life of Jesus is the topic most appreciated in the compulsory one period a week devoted to religious instruction.

MURDERERS ARRESTED
W ARSAW, Poland (NC) — Police arrested two young men who have confessed to the murder of an elderly Catholic priest in southeastern Poland. Father Stanislaw Maciag, 71, was found dead from head injuries the day before in his apartment in the small town of Sedziszow, in the southern province of Rzeszow. He had apparently been killed during the night of March 9-10. His apartment was ransacked and police suspected that the motive behind the slaying was burglary. Two men, whom it identified as Ryszard P., 24, and Andrzej W., 23, admitted killing the priest and stealing several bottles of liquor and the equivalent of about $50 from his apartment. R yszard P. escaped from prison last November and Andrezej W., currently employed, had a previous conviction for burglary. Observers in Warsaw could not recall a murder of a priest in Poland in recent years.
Kevin Yuen, Fulvio Duca, Julie Ranson and Steve Barton. To separate administration from review, a central review group with representatives from all groups will meet monthly at the new offices, 30 Claverton Street, phone 328 9667.

A continental-style breakfast is prepared by members of one church, and this is followed by an address from a guest speaker. The speaker at the March breakfast was the Anglican Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverent Dr Peter Carnley. As a prelude to the events of Holy Week, the archbishop spoke on the centrality of the Cross in the life of Jesus and His followers, a fact which is sometimes weakened by our present strong emphasis on the Resurrection and life in the Spirit.
At the Applecros Christian breakfast Archbishop Carnley is pictured with (left to right) veteran' Applecross Catholic p arishioner John Mahon and his cousin Mary O'Byrne, from Zimbabwe, and Eric Beckwith, also a Catholic parishioner of Apple cross.

Pope and 1 bishops say Mass V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II marked St Patrick's Day with an early morning M ass, concelebrated with seven Irish bishops and priests in his private chapel. The 7am Mass featured songs by the 170member women's choir of Colmcille, Ireland. After the Mass, the pope asked the prelates to take his greetings to members of the Irish community participating in special St Patrick's Day Masses at St Isidore church in Rome.

PHILADELPHIA (NC) — It is "deeply immoral" for religious leaders to use their position to promulgate radical pacifist ideologies, according to Navy Secretary John F. Lehman.
of Seattle, as an example, Lehman said religious leaders are abusing their clerical power and promoting extremist views when they urge unilateral nuclear disarmament. Archbishop Hunthausen for several months has been critical of the basing of the Trident nuclear submarine in the Seattle area and has called the Trident "the Auschwitz of Puget Sound." "Such an ignorant and repugnant statement," said Lehman; "illustrates how far the abuse of clerical power has been taken by a few religious leaders." Lehman, who also has criticised efforts by the U.S. bishops to change the name of a new atomic-powered submarine called the Corpus Christi, made his latest remarks in a speech at a chapel in Philadelphia dedicated to four Navy chaplains who died together in World War II after giving their lifejackets to others aboard. "There is, I believe, something deeply immoral in the use — or misuse — of sacred religious office to promulgate extremist religious views," said Lehman, himself a Catholic. He said a "kind of pacifist ideology has — most unfortunately — now captured a small and idealistic but vocal minority . . ." Lehman said he recognised "that pacifism is an aspect of the religious tradition we honour today." But, he said, "peace is not the result of unilateral disarmament. It never has been. And it never will be. Peace doesn't just happen; it must be forged." Lehman, also criticised religious leaders who view possession of nuclear arms by the United States as a grave evil. "All the evil seen in their lifetimes would pale beside the evil that our unilateral disarmament would inevitably produce," he said. Most U.S. bishops who have been speaking out on war and peace issues have endorsed bilateral rather than unilateral disarmament. A number of these have urged unilateral initiatives as a means toward breaking the disarmament deadlock. Last year Lehman rebuffed pleas to change the name of the Corpus Christi and said that as a Catholic he found unacceptable the implication "that naval ships and even military service are somehow profane." Religious leaders who wanted the name of the submarine changed said they found it offensive and nearly sacrilegious to call an attack ship Corpus Christi — Latin for "body of Christ."

The Record, April 1 — 7, 1982
"It seems to me that Secretary Lehman, who is a Catholic, must not have read the teaching of the Church on the use and the threat to use nuclear weapons," Bishop Matthiesen said. "If he believes that the teaching of the Church is that the threat to use these weapons is moral, he hasn't done his homework in regard to what the Church is actually teaching. "It seems to me, that the secretary, in so harshly condemning the bishops, in making the judgment that they are immoral, is just wrong," he said. Lehman said there was "something deeply immoral in the use — or misuse — of a sacred religious office to promulgate extremest religious views." Bishop Matthiesen, one of 12 Texas bishops who has opposed producing, using or threatening to use nuclear weapons, said he supports "100 per cent" a bilateral nuclear arms freeze, questioned whether Lehman was aware of the teaching on nuclear weapons by Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, the U.S. bishops and of statements by Archbishop John R. Roach, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and of testimony before a Senate committee by Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia. "The teaching of the Church is very clear. For example, the U.S. bishops' pastoral, 'To Teach as Jesus Did,' does condemn the use and the threat to use nuclear weapons. "You have the statement and the Vatican II document, 'The Church in the Modern World,' that says these kinds of weapons, indiscriminate in their destruction, must be unequivocally and unreservedly condemned," he said. In 1954 Pope Pius XII, addressing a world medical congress, said that the use of atomic, biological and chemical weapons which are indiscriminate in their nature, must be unreservedly and unequivocally condemned, Bishop Matthiesen said. "John Paul II, who visited Hiroshima, said that peace mustnow be a deliberate option. We must look at warfare with an entirely new attitude. "You have the statement of Archbishop John Roach last November when he addressed all the bishops of the country. He said the teaching of the Church is quite clear on the use and threat to use these weapons. He described this as the most serious moral question in the public order today," the bishop said.
. "Although it is true that the disarmament issue has a political side, it is also true that it has a moral side that religious leaders must address," said Archbishop Hunthausen in a statement. Navy Secretary John F. Lehman said it is "deeply immoral" fpoarcirfeilsigiidoe t uoslloegaideesr. s to use their position to promulgate radical Lehman cited a statement by Archbishop Hunthausen criticising the Trident nuclear submarine and said such statements "illustrate how far the abuse of clerical power has been taken by a few religious leaders." In response Archbishop Hunthausen published a statement reaffirming "the right of religious leaders to speak out on the moral aspects of political questions." He said, "To think that I and other religious leaders have no right to speak out on social and political issues that touch the welfare of persons is to reduce the role of the bishop and of Christianity to the realm of individual morality. "It is to declare with the secularist mentality of recent centuries," he continued, "that religion is to be locked up in the sacristy and the home." Archbishop Hunthausen said those who think bishops have no right to speak out on such issues "misunderstand the long Roman Catholic tradition. "The bishop is supposed to speak out on the moral aspect of public questions. That is not only his right; more importantly it is his duty. He has to make the effort to apply the values of Or Gospel to the concrete social situation of his day," the archbishop said. Also criticising Lehman was Bishop Leroy T. Matthiesen.of Amarillo, Texas, who said in an interview in Pasadena, Calif., that Lehman "hasn't done his homework" if he believes that the Church teaches that the threat to use nuclear weapons is moral.

Finding time for her own music has not always been easy although she has taken voice coaching over the years and performed in choirs.

EDITATIONS ARE LIKENED TO RUNGS OF A LADDER THE first of three instalments..... T
HERE are as many descriptions of the term "meditation" as there are mystics in the history of the Church!
Today, mention of the word "meditation" in a normal environment in Western society tends to conjure up immediately the picture of a shavenheaded young man in lotus-style on the diningroom carpet reaching above the heights to the state of blessedness and peace which Buddhists sometimes refer to as "Nirvana". In order to test my somewhat general statement, what do you think the reaction would be if, say, you went up to a farmer, resident or storekeeper of New Norcia and asked: "How is your meditation going?" —"My what. . .?" Eastern methods have been making their way into Christian circles in the West like a trickling stream making its way to the sea. Thomas Merton - we know from his writings and travels was keenly interested in them, used them, visited the Eastern mystics, talked with them and imbibed their "spirit". A t the time of his death in Bangkok in 1968, Merton was attending a conference of monks and was one of the main speakers. In many ways the West is recognising more and more his contribution to the spiritual rejuvenation that is apparent in Europe, America and, to some extent, in Australia.
The late Irish Cistercian aided by grance to live in continauthor, Eugene Boylan, des- uous conscious union with God. cribed the exercise of "medita- Christ's words: "To pray withtion" as three-fold: reading, out ceasing" is the monk's goal reflection and true prayer. Each and the guiding rule of life. of these has an important place Benedictine Wilfrid Tunink turns to Cassian who had formuin the spiritual life. In many religious houses today lated this goal of the monk in the it is still the practice to make light of monastic tradition, half-an-hour's "meditation" Tunink states that "great before the commencement of the sincerity" and "honesty of intention" are needed if we are to Eucharist. This practice was often called come closer to God.

be used. According to Boylan, this is a capital error. And he says that one reason why so many fail at this "mental prayer" is that they are trying to make a fire without fuel — they have given up regular spiritual reading. "If we do not become men with an interior life, we cannot abide in the Vine and we shall not bring forth much fruit," he says. Monastic recollection is the key to Benedictine prayer and contemplation. To seek God is the sole purpose of the monk. And the atmosphere conducive to this pursuit is silence. Prayer is the effort of the monk

firm control over the mind, the imagination and the tongue. The early Egyptian monks had a favourite ejaculation -- the psalm verse which St Benedict made the opening verse of many of the Hours of the Divine Office: "0 God, come to our aid; 0 Lord make haste to help us." In this manner the monk c ommuned constantly with God. This form of prayer is still as valid today as it was then. It is a form of prayer suited to all walks of life — in the monastery, in the city, catching a bus home, and even before rising and sleeping.

But the saint immediately added that she had also recognised "that without prayer one cannot arrive at the state where the whole heart is given to God without ever taking anything back". We do not by our own initiative attain to heights or degrees of prayer. The initiative is with God. It Is His grace working within the receptive soul that stirs the mind and heart heavenwards and above earthly things. The soul truly given over to God can say, with the same confidence of St Paul: He conceives of God as the "In Him I can do all things boundless or unencompassed Light — "Lumen incircumscriptum" — and contempla- There are not man writers tion is the endeavour "to fix who have been able to express the eye of the heart on the very that sense of joy and piercing ray of the unencompassed love when the soul is in deep communion with its Lover, as Light".

Meditations are like the rungs of a ladder — they lead ultimately to the top rung which is contemplation. Feelings and words are inexpressible at this lofty stage, mystics like St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila tell us. Let us ponder on a description of "contemplation" by one of the early Church Fathers, St Gregory. St Gregory's favourite symbol, to which he returns again and again in describing contemplation is Light.
