Our hospitals' ideals defined

S YDNEY: Cardinal Freeman has spelt out the ideals of a Catholic hospital at the latest Catholic run hospital which will be opened by the Queen on October 11. Cardinal Freeman recently blessed the new Mt Druitt 200-bed hospital which has been placed under the care of the archdiocese of Sydney and which will have seven religious sisters on its staff. Cardinal Freeman said that while the Church was grateful to the government and the religious orders for t he opportunity to serve the sick of the area, it was also conscious of the responsibility placed on it. The cardinal said: "Catholic hospitals have always sprung up wherever the Church has been firmly established. They have been part of the Church's mission. But wherever they are, Catholic hospitals are inspired by the same ideals. Firstly, the importance and the dignity of the individual, the conviction that each patient, no matter how much he or she is disfigured by pain and disease, is still a human being composed of a body and soul with an eternal destiny. Secondly, a Catholic hospital to be worthy of the name should be as well-equipped as any modern hospital. It should be noted for the skill and professional e xcellence of its staff and for the genuine compassion they display in the discharge of their duties. Thirdly, the hospital should be noted for its high ethical standards, for its deep respect for human life and the example it gives of real professional integrity. This is of the utmost importance.

Record The bloodshed in the Lebanon last week and the preceding month will have escaped no-one's attention because war and its hideousness is now the staple ingredient of television reporting. It is not far back in living memory that the horror of civilian slaughter was rarely reported and only when the tales drifted back via the limping wounded. The news reel era of World War II was still able to conceal the real truth and only with the Vietnam war did people realise that war was an event they could not excise from their minds. In case there are short memories which choose to believe that the Church never condemns such atrocities let it be recorded that the Lebanon massacre has been universally condemned and Pope John Paul has been among the voices. Condemnation, however, is little comfort for either the victims or the survivors and what passes for political expression of horror these days is often only a front for self justification. There are thousands of people being systematically liquidated in Afghanistan and in Uganda the massacre that went on unabated under Idi Amin seems to go on relentlessly. Yet it is unfashionable to talk about such atrocities any longer. The galling aspect of the Lebanon bloodbath is to hear that it has been perpetrated by a Phalangist group who are labelled Christian. This is not necessarily a declaration of their Christian faith but a simple method of identifying them as being on opposite sides to the Muslims whether of Lebanon or from the Palestinian areas to the south. It has to be admitted sadly that among such dubious Christians there will be not a few Catholics of the Maronite rite who find an easy alliance between their religion and the sword. The finger need not be pointed too easily at them without recalling that in the days before war correspondents, only a hundred years ago it was the Muslim Turkish regime that stood aside and watched as the Druses of Lebanon massacred Christians who eventually were saved only by the intervention of France. Catholic reactions to the Middle East crisis become even more confused when it is realised how much the scripture revival particularly of the Old Testament has made the history of Israel a household word in Catholic prayer and discussion. Yet the modern state of Israel becomes a stumbling block by contradiction because its chief claim to existence would seem to be the Zionist movement of modern times. No wonder the modern visitor to Israel feels more at home with the Palestinian Christian than with the abrasive Israelis. It would be wonderful to pretend that religion, including Christian and Catholic, has not been the cause of war and bloodshed. Anyone wanting to exempt themselves from this corporate sin had best depart this planet. For every individual it is only a fine line that separates the gospel of peace from the gospel of self-righteousness and eventual persecution of anyone who differs. The Christians of Reformation Europe showed how to wage war among Christians. Australia is one of the blessed places on earth where we have not had to walk past the stench of rotting bodies as a result of war. While thanking God for sparing us it is still an occasion to ask whether we would have behaved any less barbarously in similar circumstances.

NY ORDAINS FIRST BLACK BISHOP NEW YORK (NC) — The first black bishop in the history of the Archdiocese of New York was ordained in St Patrick's Cathedral earlier this month. He is Auxiliary Bishop Emerson J. Moore, 44, who became vicar for central Harlem and the first archdiocesan vicar for black community development earlier this year. Bishop Moore has also been pastor of Harlem's St Charles Borromeo parish since 1975 and will continue to serve in that position. Pope John Paul II visited the church in 1979. Auxiliary Bishop Patrick Ahern, the homilist, spoke of the special aspect of the occasion. "What a proud day it is for us and for our black community," he said. "We so much need the gift of his blackness." He added that both new auxiliary bishops would serve the entire archdiocese — and the country as well — through their participation in the national hierarchy. The senior black member of the hierarchy, Auxiliary Bishop Harold Perry, of New Orleans, assisted Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York as coconsecrator. Three of the remaining four black bishops were also present.

T HESE people have little hope of dignified life because they are not accepted into the community, they have no hope of employment, no homes or family life as we know it," said John Angus recently.

He should know,for he i s president of the St Norbert's Anawim Conference which is the management group for the centre representing the society. Not once during the interview did John judge or criticise these people for their plight nor make any excuses for them but rather criticised the apathy of the comfortable majority. It was sufficient that they were Anawim (The Poor People of God) and the work at the centre sat fairly and squarely with SVDP which has as part of its objectives: To seek in a spirit of justice and charity to help those who are suffering, and being Catholic in character is open to all who wish to live their faith by loving their neighbour in the person of the needy, and, no distinction is made regarding wealth, position, social status or ethnic origin. "It is pleasing to note that since the centre opened there have been no murders of Aboriginal women," John observed.

Joined SVDP HE FIRST joined SVDP in 1959 at Highgate where the curate was Father Quinn, now Bishop of Bunbury. "However, I drifted away to the YCW after about a year and it was not until about five years ago that I went back to the society and then only by accident. "At Doubleview then we were c onducting a Care and Share programme and one of the beneficiaries was St Norbert's shelter, unofficially named after the Norbert Street in which it was situated. "One month I was elected to take the donations to Sister Bernadine. saw at firsthand the work she was doing and never looked back from that day. "Soon after that Gerard Russell (see Record, September 2) and Sister Bernadine formed a Special Works Conference to help Aborigines. The group comprised mainly young people already helping Sister Bernadine many in their late t eens. John praised the work of the many young people over the past four years, their spiritual c ommitment and their prayer life. "No decisions are made until after repeated prayer," he said.

Today's People

A weekly feature "In 1978 Sister Bernadine through Father Brian Tiernan found another property near Bulwer Street and left St Norbert's giving it over to the New Era Aboriginal Fellowship to run. "The new centre was established and we kept the "St Norbert's" in the title for sentimental reasons."

CENTRE is funded mainly by donations. In the early days loans were given by SVDP and Catholic Church Office and the property was bought in the name of the society. "We have long since repaid the church loan," commented John. It has not all been smooth financial sailing for the centre. "but for the generosity of the Lotteries Commission last year we would have been forced to close the centre," John said.

It's a matter of life and breath

of difference between those two uses of the word "spirit". And there are many shades of meaning in between. In the Bible, one has to pay close attention to how the word "spirit" is used in any given context.

Use of "ruah" Basically, the difficulty stems from the many ways in which one Hebrew word -- "ruah" — can be used. Its fundamental meaning refers to a movement of air, hence a breeze, a wind. That explains why the verse from Genesis quoted above is now translated in the New American Bible: "A mighty wind swept over the waters." The word's basic meaning, "wind." is recognised. Later, when Luke wrote of Pentecost, suggesting that it was tantamount to a new creation, he made "a strong driving wind" part of the scenario (Acts 2). Allied to this idea is the conception of "ruah" as the breath of God: "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host" (Psalm 33). Because it is creative, the breath of the Lord imparts life to men and animals. In fact, behind the catchy

Life infused For the ancient, pre-scientific Semitic people, it was God who infused breath, and hence life, into all living beings: "If you take away their breath, they perish and return to the dust. When you send forth your spirit (breath), they are created, and you renew the face of the earth" (Psalm 104). This "breath" comes to be considered what we would call the lifeprinciple However, it is not to be equated with the "soul," as we understand it. For the Semitic mind, a human being was a "body that breathes". Not surprisingly, then, this breath is thought of as animating both humans and animals, as the following lines clearly suggest: "For the lot of man and beast is one lot; the one dies as well as the other. Both have the same life breath" (Ecclesiastes 3). Even granting that the author was not having one of his better days, one can still see the fundamental concepts that lie behind his musings. God's life-giving breath does not become the permanent possession of a person. It remains with him only as long as he breathes. Thus the Lord is pictured as say-

In Hebrew, Greek and Latin, spirit means breath or the breath of life. In religious terms, the words mean the breath of God's life breathed into us so that we might live with God's own life in us.

By KATHARINE BIRD

AN INFLUENTIAL professor taught me to look for clues to God's

presence by looking into the lives of people from past c enturies. For our tradition contains many stories in which an attempt is made to identify the Spirit. In the Old Testament, think of the Israelite, Samson, whose story is told in the Book of Judges. It is a highly dramatic and very colourful story. In it, the symbol of Samson's dedication to God is his unshorn hair. But he reveals his secret to Delilah — and the subsequent events are well known. He loses his strength, but ultimately regains it, pulling the temple's walls down upon the heads of his Philistine enemies. Another who searched for God's

presence throughout his life was St. Augustine, the learned bishop who lived in fourth-century Africa. St Augustine wrote about his lifelong quest for God in his highly personal autobiography, "The Confessions," the first great autobiography ever written. He identified God with all that was good and beautiful in his life. He also identified God's Spirit as a source of knowledge. St Augustine is one of my

ing before the great biblical flood: "My spirit shall not remain in man forever, since he is but flesh. His days shall comprise 120 years" (Genesis 6). What emerges from all this is the fact that the "Spirit of God" is active, dynamic, enlivening, empowering. As such it will be powerfully active on several levels throughout the course of salvation history. In the weeks ahead, I plan to look inside scripture to discover what this powerful and active force of God means there. I invite you, the reader, to join me in this exploration — an exploration that should allow us to see more of what the Spirit of God means in our lives.

A Cry for Mercy, by Father Henri J.M. Nouwen. 1981. $ 10.95. Doubleday and Co. Inc., Garden City, N.Y. This book of prayers helps to illustrate the questions, the problems and the effort — the process one is likely to experience in the development of personal prayer and spirituality. What Are Saints? by C. C. Martindale, S.J. Revised edition, 1982. $3.95. Michael Glazier Inc., 1723 Delaware A ve., Wilmington, Del. 19806. "The saintsIhave chosen to speak of were real men, solidly established in history, and who have altered human life," the author writes. He tells of Paul, Augustine, Francis, Thomas Aquinas, Peter Claver, John Bosco and several others — "real persons who lived...not theories, nor fictions." The publisher says in a note that it hopes to issue a series on women saints at a future date. •

favourite saints because he spoke so humanly about events in his life that his emotions echo across the centuries. In one section of "The Confessions," Augustine revealed how he felt about the death of his mother, St Monica. lie spoke of his wrenching pain, of feeling as if "my soul was wounded and my life was ...torn apart." Then Augustine related how he prayed for consolation, went to bed and woke up to find his "grief was much relieved." Only then, he said, was he able to weep for his mother and to find the peace that comes from God. In this instance, Augustine seemed to identify the presence of God in a sense of peace, and even in the ability to weep. We expect saints to make the effort to identify the presence of God in their lives. And it is not surprising to find biblical writers pointing to the action of God's Spirit. But do ordinary individuals do this too'? Some time ago, I attended a parish workshop during which one participant, a man, told of a vivid memory he possessed: During a brief time a number of years earlier, he had a strong sense that he was in God's presence. It wasn't an experience that had yet been repeated, he explained. But the memory of it was strong. The man said that his sense of God's presence during that time gave him a sense of peace. In addition, he felt that because of the experience he was able to handle a difficult job-related task that he had not felt he would be able to perform.

The assistance we receive on these occasions of crisis is not our r esource to be used at our command. It is a gift given in God's way at God's time. What do we look for to see the working of the Spirit in our own lives? When we find ourselves being kind and generous in a way that outdistances our best estimation of our goodness, that may well be the work of the Spirit. When in moments of family crisis we find ourselves with a s trength and courage that we ourselves even find surprising, that can be the work of the Spirit. When we find ourselves holding firm to the faith when people around us act as though there were no such reality as faith, that is the gift of the Spirit. When we find our hearts softening, forgiving injuries that we t hought we could never forgive, that too is the work of the Spirit. The Spirit of God is never far from us, because God is never far from us. God breathes the breath of His life into us. Then we are able to live the new life that is a share os His own life.

Couples living in a mixed marriage have special needs, which can be put under three main headings. In the first place, attention must be paid to the obligations that faith imposes on the Cahtolic party with regard to the free exercise of the faith and the consequent obligation to ensure, as far as is possible, the Baptism and upbringing of the children in the Catholic faith. There must be borne in mind the particular difficulties inherent in the relationships between husband and wife with regard to respect for religious freedom: this freedom could be violated either by undue pressure to make the partner change his or her beliefs, or by placing obstacles in the way of the free manifestation of these beliefs by religious practice.

N EVEN more generous, intelligent and prudent pastoral commitment, modelled on the Good Shepherd, is called for in the case of families, which, often independently of their own wishes through pressures of various other kinds, find themselves faced by situations which are objectively difficult.

In this regard it is necessary to call special attention to certain particular groups which are more in need not only of assistance but also of more incisive action upon public opinion and especially upon cultural, economic and juridical structures, in order that the profound causes of their needs may be eliminated as far as possible. Such for example are the families of migrant workers; the families of those obliged to be away for long periods, such as members of the armed forces, sailors and all kinds of itinerant people; the families of those in prison, of refugees and exiles; the families in big cities living, practically speaking as outcasts; families with no home; incomplete or single-parent families; families with children that are handicapped or addicted to drugs; the families of alcoholics; families that have been uprooted from their cultural and social environment or are in danger of losing it; families discriminated against for political or other reasons; families that are ideologically divided; families that are unable to make ready contact with the parish; families experiencing violence or unjust treatment because of their faith; teenage married couples; the elderly, who are often obliged to live alone with inadequate means of subsistence. The families of migrants, especially in the case of manual workers and farm workers, should be able to find a homeland everywhere in the Church. This is a task stemming from the nature of the Church, as being the sign of unity in diversity. As far as possible these people should be looked after by priests of their own rite, culture and language. It is also the Church's task to appeal to the public conscience and to all those in authority in social, economic and political life, in order that workers may find employment in their own regions and homelands, that they may receive just wages, that their families may be reunited as soon as possible, be respected in their cultural identity and treated on an equal footing with others, and that their children may be given the chance to learn a trade and exercise it, as also the chance to own the land needed for working and living.

Ideologically divided A difficult problem is that of the family which is ideologically divided. In these cases particular pastoral care is needed. In the first place it is necessary to maintain tactful personal contact with such families. The believing members must be strengthened in their faith and supported in their Christian lives. Although the party faithful to Catholicism cannot give way, dialogue with the other party must always be kept alive. Love and respect must be freely shown, in the firm hope that unity will be maintained. Much also depends on the relationship between parents and children. Moreover, ideologies which

Meeting necessities are alien to the faith can stimulate the believing members of the family to grow in faith and in the witness of love. Other difficult circumstances in which the family needs the help of the ecclesial community and its pastors are: the children's adolescence, which can be disturbed, rebellious and sometimes stormy; the children's marriage, which takes them away from their family; lack of understanding or lack of love on the part of those held most dear; abandonment by one of the spouses, or his or her death, which brings the painful experience of widowhood, or the death of a family member, which breaks up and deeply transforms the original family nucleus. Similarly, the Church cannot ignore the time of old age, with all its positive and negative aspects. In old age married love, which has been increasingly purified and ennobled by long and unbroken fidelity, can be deepened.

Offering kindness

With regard to the liturgical and canonical form of marriage, Ordinaries can make wide use of their faculties to meet various necessities. In dealing with these special needs, the following points should be kept in mind: — In the appropriate preparation for this type of marriage, every reasonable effort must be made to ensure a proper understanding of Catholic teaching on the qualities and obligations of marriage, and also to ensure that the pressures and obstacles mentioned above will not occur.

I N THIS and following i

ssues The Record presents substantial extracts from the 170 -page papal document, The Family in the Modern World.

— It is of the greatest importance that, through the support of the comT HERE is the opportunity of offermunity, the Catholic party should be ing to others, in a new form, the kind-

ness and the wisdom gathered over the years, and what energies remain. But there is also the burden of loneliness, more often psychological and emotional rather than physical, which results from abandonment or neglect on the part of children and relations. There is also suffering caused by illhealth, by the gradual loss of strength, by the humiliation of having to depend on others, by the sorrow of feeling that one is perhaps a burden to one's loved ones, and by the approach of the end of life. These are the circumstances in which, as the Synod Fathers suggested, it is easier to help people understand and live the lofty aspects of the spirituality of marriage and the family, aspects which take their inspiration from the value of Christ's Cross and Resurrection, the source of sanctification and profound happiness in daily life, in the light of the great eschatological realities of eternal life. In all these different situations let prayer, the source of light and strength and the nourishment of Christian hope, never be neglected. The growing number of mixed marriages between Catholics and other baptrised persons also calls for special pastoral attention in the light of the directives and norms contained in the most recent documents of the Holy See and in those drawn up by the Episcopal conferences, in order to permit their practical application to the various situations.

strengthened in faith and positively helped to mature in understanding and practising that faith, so as to become a credible witness within the family through his or her own life and through the quality of love shown to the other spouse and the children.

Mixed marriages Marriages between Catholics and other baptised persons have their own particular nature, but they contain numerous elements that could well be made good use of and developed, both for their intrinsic value and for the contribution that they can make to the ecumenical movement. This is particularly true when both parties are faithful to their religious duties. Their common Baptism and the dynamism of grace provide the spouses in these marriages with the basis and motivation for expressing their unity in the sphere of moral and spiritual values. For this purpose, and also in order to highlight the ecumenical importance of mixed marriages which are fully lived in the faith of the two Christian spouses, an effort should be made to establish c ordial cooperation between the Catholic and the non-Catholic ministers from the time that preparations begin for the marriage and the wedding ceremony, even though this does not always prove easy.

Here a group of the hardier, or less sane, braved the icy waters for a quick dip — a pleasure not reserved for men alone as three of the female gender bravely joined in but quickly regretted doing so on the long cold walk back. Serpentine proved an ideal location in which to grow in understanding of our faith. Jane Hille of Dianella said; "The natural, t ranquil surroundings served to reflect the beauty and love of God so simply and clearly".

annual tax of 12 loaves of bread to his parish church.

I want to be a Foster Parent of a boy

The administrative court of Bonn, ruling on a suit brought by financial officers of the Diocese of Augsburg, ordered Johann Gump of Herbertshofen to deliver the bread, or its equivalent value of about $20, to the church. The court also made Gump pay $85 in court costs. Gump had stopped paying the traditional "tithe in kind" in 1973, contending that it was anachronistic because he already paid more than $600 a year in taxes to support the church.
