Charismatics want bolder proclaimers
Project look at schools Catholic secondary schools throughout A ustralia are taking part in a project known as Revitalising Secondary School S tructures. The project is being cordinated by Mr Mike Middleton, an education consultant working with the Queensland Intersystemic Parents' Committee w hich involves both government and private schools.
S YDNEY: The National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal wants leaders to be bold in their proclamation of the word of God during a time when darkness appears to be enveloping the Church. A t a meeting in Randwick last month the committee said the time we live in is one of great challenge.
Mr Middleton said the p roject would bring t ogether schools which were restructuring timetables and curricula to be more adaptive to individuals and communities.
The late Bishop Philip Kennedy
The schools taking part in the project include Mercedes Catholic College and the Burra Community. School, South Australia. Maryborough Christian Community School and Huntingdale Technical School, Victoria; Weston Creek High School, Canberra; Dominic Catholic C ollege, Tasmania; McKillop Catholic Girls High School and Dungog High School, New South Wales.
Scholarship memorial for bishop A memorial to Bishop Philip Kennedy, of Adelaide, who died last month at the age of 52, will take the form of a scholarship to assist diocesan priests to complete higher studies. Archbishop Gleeson, of Adelaide, who announced the plan said the setting up of the scholarship was in response to proposals made by a number of people. "Bishop Kennedy strongly promoted post-graduate studies for diocesan priests. Under his leadership, the Brian Jordan Memorial Scholarship was able to help several priests undertake higher studies.
Interaction between the schools will he by common input of literature; sharing of information and interschool visits; a conference of teachers, students and parents; the publication of a book and production of video tapes on the project. Mr Middleton said recent educational reports in Australia indicated the need to change the emphasis of secondary education so that schools were more responsive to their own communities, and to economic and technological challenges.
Using knowledge "These priests are now using their knowledge and experience to assist brother priests, Religious and laity in the development of their faith." Dame Roma Mitchell, of Adelaide, who has chaired meetings of trustees of the Brian Jordan Memorial Scholarship, has agreed to act in a similar capacity for the new scheme. Donations to the Bishop Philip Kennedy memorial Scholarship should be sent to Archbishop Gleeson, Catholic Church Office, 91 West Terrace, Adelaide, 5000.

Historic organ to go on sale An historic organ, built by the firm of Foster and Andrews in 1887 and in original untouched condition, will shortly be available for sale in Sydney. With two manuals, plus pedal and mechanical action it has 20 stops. It is well built and well laid out, but unhappily in need of some restoration. The rought cost would be about $30,000, which would be made up of purchase price plus restoration. Only a fraction of this sum would be needed on purchase. Its purchase would enable a Catholic parish to acquire a real organ and not an electronic imitation of limited resources. The organ's flute pipes are considered quite beautiful. Inquiries and further information can be obtained from the secretary of the Society of St Cecilia, Mr Frank Duff, on 631 5441 (after hours).

An umbrella was needed last Sunday as Archbishop Goody blessed the crucifixes for the new Centenary building, assisted by Monsignor P.G.J. O'Reilly. For one hundred years the people of Fremantle had made sacrifices to unite at the CBC school site to develop their faith, the principal Brother Pat Kelly said last Sunday. "They have come here to Christian Brothers' College to study the person of Christ, the source of all unity," he said at the opening of the latest stage that marks the 1982 centenary of the establishment of the school. "This school is more than just classrooms," said Brother Kelly, as he proceeded to quote a statement made on a previous occasion at CBC Fremantle by Mr Kim Beazley then minister for education: "Let Christ be formed in every student." Brother Kelly said that the five buildings of varying styles and of various periods had needed something to bind them together and this had been achieved in the most recent design of the architect Michael Broderick. He traced the history of the school which was originally launched in a former limestone quarry and which became the dumping ground for tons of limestone rubble from excavations at Monument Hill and from the demolition of Fremantle buildings, in order to make a level site. Even the renowned Brother Keaney of Clontarf fame entered the picture when water could not be found on the site. He fired an enormous charge that rocked Fremantle at 11 o'clock one night and the fracture in the limestone provided a fresh water supply. Brother Kelly praised the efforts of former
Sacrifices to unite in faith principal Brother McMaster and president of the P and F, Mr Mick Cronin, for their work in preparing for the completion of the new building. In addition to bricks and mortar, he said, a task force of staff, parents and pupils is meeting to assess what the present school is doing and to see what can be done to improve the curriculum to meet the needs of the 1980s. CBC Fremantle has entered the field of transition education with an alternative course that will be linked to Fremantle Technical School. Another important aspect of the school, he said, was the English programme for an enrolment of which more than half the students have a parent from a non-English speaking country. Thirty-three nationalities are represented among the students and 12 nations are represented among the staff of 35.

Archbishop Goody used his address to point out some simple arithmetical facts about the funding of Catholic schools. W hen the Christian Brothers started the school, the fees were two shillings a week or thirty shillings a term. Archbishop Goody said today's fee of $150 a term was approximate to that value thus showing the cost of Catholic education had not changed excessively in 80 years.

Rebecca in Thawing out moral truth happy day at Mass
Record
The revelation this week that an Australian baby who was once frozen as an embryo for four months is now fourteen weeks into gestation poses an awful tension for those who want to welcome this child into the light of day but who are fearful of the accompanying technology. The freezing technique is a shock to those who resent human life being treated as a laboratory. commodity but to the squeamish technology simply replies that this and unimagined other similar processes are just around the corner and that we will have to learn to live with those facts. The Melbourne technologists have made it quite clear that they are in the business simply of providing babies for childless couples and overcoming whatever barriers stand in the way. They argue with a kind of logic that the blanket acceptance being given to artificial conception and implantation is changed little by the embryo being frozen in the process. Gnawing at the loins of the average human being is the spectre that what was once the province of a loving sexual embrace has now been carried to a new frightening frontier. Contraception was hailed as the breakthrough that would separate intercourse from conception and the morality of this question is now exposed as a far deeper question than merely that of using contraceptives. Nowhere is this confusion more rampant than in the apparently common practice whereby many women are prepared to be inseminated artificially from an anonymous male laboratory donor but they would baulk at the perfectly natural human act that could achieve exactly the same result. The child is fast being turned into a commodity In the free-for-all climate where whatever is possible is automatically legitimate, children are becoming merely the commodity that will be slotted into whatever relationship suits the moment. On the other hand it is unwarranted and unnecessarily harsh to cast any aspersions on the current wave of in-vitro couples who are more than likely to be highly motivated in the care they intend to give their long awaited child. Waiting for ethical guidelines from jurists who mumble on these matters is about as hopeful as expecting results from the Constitutional Convention. The Catholic dilemma is that a Church which has appeared to have pat answers for much less c omplicated and important matters has been left wallowing in a wave of technology where people want instant moral answers that will soothe their nervousness if not their consciences. One Latrobe University professor summed up the gulf now looming when he said that the freezing technique and the discarding of unused frozen embryos presented difficulties only for those who believed embryos had rights. He pompously identified Catholics as being the perpetrators of such views as though it was just another of our odd sectarian viewpoints. The intention of setting up a local bio-ethics committee is welcome not just because of the urgency of tackling difficult technical issues but in order to get the message of moral thinking across to ordinary people of good will with conviction and clarity. At the consumer level, it means developing in our schools and in adult education courses a technique for handling sexually related topics with seriousness and purpose. Nit-picking prudery and feigned coyness have no place in a theology and faith which believes that God is the author of the generative processes and all that we have come to know of them and their place in the age into which we are being directed.

The Record, May 5 — May 11, 1983
When Rebecca Symons received c ommunion for the first time recently it was the happy culmination of a preparation that had taken three years. The reason is that nine year old R ebecca is profoundly deaf and so her parents enrolled her in a family p reparation programme built around the regular Masses for deaf or hearing impaired people. What she learnt from her family was supplemented by special lessons before each Mass. R ebecca was also encouraged by her teacher at Mary's Mount School at Gooseberry Hill. Father Paul Pitzen OSM, chaplain to the C atholic Association f or Deaf and Hearing Impaired People of WA said one of the problems in preparing a deaf person for the sacraments was it required a long time. It was difficult to find people who would provide the necessary time to impart knowledge and share their faith. Another problem was the effort which had to be made in the communication. Merely grasping what is being said and concentration on understanding was a much more tiring process for deaf people compared with others. He said deaf people f ound it hard to comprehend the sense of time involved in learning about Jesus. For a person whose life deals with the very concrete realities of each day, it was hard to grasp the significance of Jesus' life 2000 years ago. The other difficulty was the lack of suitable resource material for this special work, but people in Western Australia were lucky to have the services of Mrs Barbara Harris who has devoted her skills to the time-consuming work of production. Father Pitzen said it was an equally demanding task to prepare a deaf couple for marriage. It was common to see such couples twice a week for up to 12 months before the wedding, he said. At the adult level, the deaf person was often still grappling with their notion of God, often sensing Him as a sort of superman. The relationship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so often used in ordinary marriage preparation was an even more difficult concept for a deaf person.
Father Pitzen is looking for volunteers to help with the preparation of seven other people for penance and eucharist and to help a deaf couple prepare for the baptism of their child. Those interested can contact Father Pitzen at the Emmanual Centre, 25 Windsor Street, East Perth, 328 8113

Almost every church, Catholic a nd non-Catholic, in Britain has some stained glass. It is usually medieval but occasionally contemporary. Just as pub signs showed people who could not read that they were approaching an alehouse, so ecclesiastical stained glass originated hundreds of years ago as a way to help explain the Bible to i lliterate churchgoers.

WRONG B ATTLE W ASHINGTON (NC) — Those who are involved in the anti-abortion fight should pay more attention to the battle o ver euthanasia, said Dr R ichard Lamerton, a British physician active in the hospice movement. Lamerton said during a visit to Washington he feels the pro -life movement in the United States gives "inadequate attention" to the euthanasia issue, "while humanists have moved their principal thrust f orward" to promote such a cts as mercy killing or bringing about death through the withholding of food or basic medical care. People concerned with preserving respect for life. he said, would "still have to fight the euthanasia battle, e ven if all abortions stopped." Lamerton. who helped set up the New Age Hospice, has been working to s trengthen an alliance between the hospice and pro-life movements. T he movements are "inevitably connected," he said, because of the growing perception of hospice care as an alternative to euthanasia. Hospice care is oriented to patients with terminal illnesses and their families. The emphases of most hospices are to provide medical care for terminally ill patients outside of a hospital or nursing home setting, to help the patient and relatives deal with the stress of imminent death. and in some cases to provide "bereavement therapy" to the family after the patient's death. Lamerton said terminall% ill patients have often asked him for some form of euthanasia "until the have experienced hospice care." Trained under Dame Cicely Saunders, a leader figure in the British hospice movement. Lamerton has worked at St Joseph's Hospice in I.ondon for 12 years. Lamerton. a Quaker. presented information on hospice care to the Catholic bishops of England and Wales in connection with the 1980 Declaration on Euthansia issued by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Murders in El Salvador SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (NC) - More than 30,000 Salvadoran non-combatants have been murdered in the past four years without their cases being investigated, said Archbishop Arturo Rivera Damas of San Salvador recently during a Sunday homily. He said Salvadoran political leaders should -look for the real causes of our evils so they can take adequate measures against them.Archbishop Rivera Damas contrasted the lack of investigations in the cases of Salvadorans with the investigations into the cases of eight US citizens killed in El Salvador. "In the cases of the thousands of murdered Salvadorans very few have been brought to justice. Where are the perpetrators of those crimes? What wall holds back justice so that it almost never finds the authors?" the archbishop said.
Murders continue "Those murders continue in many cases with victims pulled from their houses in the middle of the night," he added. Four of the US citizens killed were Catholic women missionaries. Finding the murderers of the US citizens has been a key issue in US congressional debates over aid to El Salvador. Five members of the Salvadoran National Guard are charged with the 1 980 murders fo the four Churchwomen. The other US citizens killed were two agrarian reform advisers, a journalist and a tourist. Two National Guard members are under arrest in the case of the agrarian adviser and three soldiers are under arrest in the case of the tourist. No one has been arrested in the case of the journalist.

V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Even those who know no Latin can now learn to speak and write it with ease - at least that's the claim of promoters of a new language course which uses a thoroughly modern means to convey knowledge of the ancient language. A course in four cassette tapes, produced jointly by V atican Radio and the V atican Bookstore and sponsored by the Latinitas Foundation, recently went on sale at the V atican. V atican Radio says the c ourse can be followed by those who know no Latin or by those who studied it a long time ago and have forgotten it. " At the end of the course the student will be able not only to understand Latin. but also to speak it and write it," Vatican R adio added. The cassette tapes are accompanied by a grammatical guide written by Abbot Carlo Egger.

"We believe that lasting friendship requires and demands frankness on both sides," they added. "We believe that government has the right and duty to protect its citizens from dissident activity, and to use its armed forces for this purpose, but we condemn wanton violence by whomsoever it is committed," the bishops said. In March the bishops criticised the army campaign against political dissidents in the province of Matabeleland saying the government has justified in sending the army against dissidents who were killing people but that army actions "degenerated into brutality and atrocity."
Response Mugabe. a one-time Catholic, responded by calling the bishops "sanctimonious prelates" who m ust change their attitudes. " You must re-orient yourself in our new Zimbabwe," Mugabe said in a public address to religious leaders he convened. Mugabe, however, also said he would investigate the atrocity accusations and held a closed door session with the bishops after his public speech.

Mary O'Hara appears Sunday Irish singer and Celtic harpist Mary O 'Hara, a long-time favourite with Australian audiences, will be making a welcome return to the concert platform at the Perth Concert Hall this Sunday, May 8 at 8pm. This will be her second tour for Clifford Hocking (the first was in 1981) and her third tour of Australia (the first was during 1958 / 59). Apart from the Celtic harp, which she plays herself, Mary O'Hara will be accompanied by Matthew Freeman (piano) and Andrew Richardson ( flute). Born in Sligo in the west of Ireland, Mary O'Hara commenced her singing career while still at school. She won her worldwide reputation as a leading exponent of Celtic folk music during the 1950s — long before Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and their countless imitators generated the folk boom of the 60s. Joan Baez later acknowledged Mary O 'Hara as a great influence on her career. A fter a happy (but tragically brief) marriage, she entered a Benedictine monastery where she spent the next 1 2 years as Sister Miriam. In 1977 Mary O'Hara re-emerged to pick up the thread of her true vocation and soon received a tumultous welcome at the Royal Festival Hall, London. For as long as she can remember, people have been asking Mary to sing. She was 16 and still at boarding school in Dublin when she gave her first radio broadcast of traditional Irish songs, accompanying herself on the Celtic harp. Her clear soprano voice, with its haunting natural quality, quickly gained here a large following in Ireland and the British Isles, and she was still under 21 by the time she had her own television series on BBC -TV. Mary's marriage around that time to the American poet Richard Selig, a R hodes scholar at Oxford when they met, was shortlived. He died after 15 happy months leaving Mary to carry on her life, and career, alone.
Harpist here for concert She continued to make concert appearances and completed successful tours of Australia and New Zealand (1958 59). Suddenly the concerts and broadcasts stopped: her records still sold b ut there were no more live appearances. Without telling anyone Mary had become a contemplative Benedictine nun. When health problems forced her to leave the monastery, she knew she must try singing professionally again, but was uncertain about the reception she would receive after an absence of 12 years.

Churches in the diocese of Bunbury have undertaken a three week campaign as a follow-up to the Project Compassion appeal. The campaign will be spearheaded by Force 10, a programme run jointly by Australian Catholic Relief (ACR) and the Australian Council of Churches. Force 10 offers families and individuals the opportunity of a year-round commitment to activities aimed at overcoming poverty and injustice in Third World countries. Announcing the start of the f ollow-up campaign, Force 10 Promotions Officer, Elizabeth Lobb, said: "At Project Compassion time, many people become interested in Third World countries and in the work ACR is doing there. "They feel they would like to have a continuing contact with this work and an ongoing commitment to it, rather than simply focus on it at one period of the year. "Force 10 enables them to do this. "It offers people a choice of t welve development projects each year, and provides information every month on a different activity a ssisted by their donations." The project highlighted by Force 10 is an adult literacy scheme run by a diocesan pastoral council in the Philippines. Local people are trained to teach their fellow villagers to read and write. Other recent projects have supported landless tenant f armers in India, fish f armers in Bangladesh and
victims of last year's cyclone in Tonga. Information on Force 10 is available in all churches in Bunbury diocese as part of the follow-up campaign.
- Thanksgiving rally readied Final touches are being put to the Combined Churches Day of Thanksgiving Rally to be held at the Entertainment Centre on Sunday, June 12, 1983. The rally, as part of the Western Australia Week Celebrations, has the full support of all denominations. Emphasis in production is being placed on participation. As many people as possible will be involved including children from the Midland Christian School who will do a scripture presentation and ethnic groups who will recite public prayers. Choruses as well as old favourite hymns are planned, together with a special guest speaker who will give a short address. A main feature of the rally will be a 150 voice mass choir. Participation from all denominations is being encouraged. Under the leadership of Neil Fong they have been meeting from last Sunday to rehearse a number of hymns. Anyone interested in being a part of this should contact Jeff Baldock on 325 4677. Churches will be selecting one person to be responsible for ticket sales. Tickets can then be purchased from that person.

KNOW YOUR F AITH
What is the sin?
What first comes to mind when you think of sin? A preacher's words against it? Some of your own actions? Your last confession? I want to ask you to think for a moment of sin in the singular - not sins, but sin. The very early Christians often spoke of sin this way. Why? Following an ancient Christian tradition, when we recite the Gloria of the Mass we say of Christ, "You take away the sin of the world." There is a difference between the sin of the world and our own personal sins. Our sins, in the plural, are our own personal actions. And had actions can be judged. But the sin of the world is not an action. It is a wound in our human nature. And wounds are meant to be healed. So in this article I want to spend some time looking at sin not in terms of actions to be judged, but "It is necessary to rediscover the sense of sin, and to accomplish this it is necessary t o rediscover the sense of God . . . . To this renewed consciousness of sin and of its consequences there should correspond a re-evaluation of the life of grace." (Pope John Paul II, Bull on the Holy Year, 1983)
in terms of that wound that needs to be healed. In our Catholic tradition the sin of the world also goes by another name. Theologians call it original sin, because it is

PAT except for their economic situation, but as frightening or fearful. And that is the sin of the world, or original sin, as it is in us. Bishops have pointed out that another example of original sin can be found in an economic system that would allow people to live in such misery. The bishops speak of helping to heal this wound by healing the lives of suffering people. The Church teaches that
People maintain a good deal of reserve on the topic of their personal sin. It is not the sort of thing they usually talk about in casual conversations. Yet they want to understand it. The mystery of sin can preoccupy people. For, along life's course, people encounter sin's effects somewhere. Perhaps it is part of becoming really mature to realise how the effects of sin can disturb a person's life, how they yield a sense of one's own insufficiency. Yet, as Neil Parent writes this week, God's Spirit can even bring life out of the ashes of sin's effects. This week, Dominican Father David O'Rourke discusses original sin. Original sin is a wound in human beings. And wounds are meant to be healed, Father O'Rourke explains. He is associate director of the family life office with the Diocese of Oakland, Calif. Father James Black gets right down to earth with a discussion of the reasons people give for not going to the sacrament of penance. Probably you will identify with at least a couple of the items on his list. Father Black is a freelance writer, a scripture scholar and a teacher at Bishop Ryan High School in Nashville, Tenn. Neil Parent tells a compelling story about a young man, a prostitute's son, who had to overcome much pain and learn to be forgiving. The young man now intends to become a priest. Parent is representative for adult education in the U.S. Catholic Conference Department of Education. And Father John Castelot tells why Ezekiel is sometimes called the father of Judaism. the origin, the source, of our indivudal wrongdoing. It is the wound that gives rise to our own sins. It is important to understand this wound. But what does the wound look like? Let me give an

God became human in the person of Jesus. of Nazareth to free us from Great theologians, like St Thomas Aquinas,
Compiled by NC NEWS SERVICE point out that first and foremost this means freedom from original sin or the sin of the world. Original sin is not a wrong action as much as a wound in need of healing. Being freed from original sin means having this wound healed. For this reason we can speak of the Christian life as a life of healing. We baptise small children at the very beginning of their lives not because they have done anything wrong but because, like us, they share in the wound that is part of being human. The lifelong process of healing begins with this baptism. We recognise, by our presence as baptismal i tnesses, that as children grow up they will need our help to cope with the fears and weakness that are part of being human. For as we all know, once we grow up we can allow that wound within to lead us to wrong actions — our sins in the plural. Then we need to have our sins forgiven. For this we turn to the sacrament of penance. But the sacrament of penance does not stop at forgiving our indivdual sins. It goes deeper. It also touches the root of sin in us, original sin. Like all the sacraments. p enance applies a moment of healing to that wound. For all of the Christian life is a process of healing the wound of original sin, the sin of the world.

Think a little harder
Many people seem to make moral decisions according to the criterion, "Everybody's doing it." If everybody is doing it, is it OK? Or have we simply lost our sense of sin? There are several possible explanations for the way today's people perceive sin. Interestingly enough, most of those explanations tend to assume sin's reality. "We're hearing things f rom both sides,explained Jim Steinbrecher, a high school student. "We've been brought up according to one set of standards. But our surroundings offer an entirely different set of values."
Do you believe in sin? Is sin real or is the concept outmoded?
Perception
Father of Jews
Steinbrecher suggested that television was one factor in the perception of sin today. "We frequently see situations presented in which moral decisions are treated lightly and this is sometimes reflected in the way people live," he said. "People don't seem to see any actions as wrong in themselves." Stefanie Cunningham, another high school student, claims that people often rationalise their actions. "They fool themselves into believing that what they've done isn't really serious or doesn't really matter," she said. When pressed, most people would admit sin is a reality in their lives. If so, maybe it's not so much that people are changing their perception of sin but rather that they are simply ignoring A teen-age girl picks up a bottle of lotion, worth a little over a dollar, and slips it into her bag its presence in their lives.

Many people today seem to have lost a penance is the normal sense of sin.

Thus the reality of sin is given. And it's also a means of discovering the ignored." (NC Photo by Dwight Cendrowski 4-18-83)

It is part of the larger problem of evil in the world — of sufferng andof death — which leaves us virtually mystified and speechless about its purpose in God's order of things. Even our personal wrongdoing is not without its elements of mystery. Sometimes when we cause evil, we can identify it as sin. But at other times our own actions perplex us. We can't really decide if what we did was from sinful malice or from the ineptitude of our highly imperfect nature. We may be able to see clearly the evil that we caused, but we may not be able to sort outfully the extent to which sin may have been involved for us, at least in a direct way. The ways of sin in our lives are, indeed, real and mysterious. We are all infected by it and, in turn, infect others with it. That is the message of the Scriptures. But there is no needfor despair.

From the ashes can come great beauty
BY FATHER JAMES A BLACK very reality of sin — and goodness — in our life. Penance provides a forum for reflection and self-examination. Some Catholics fear t he sacrament of penance. And they may even minimise their sins or rationalise them away. After all, if sin can be ignored, there's no need to receive the sacrament of penance. When was the last time you went to confession? People offer any number of reasons for not going. Here are some of the more common objections I've heard with a brief reply for each.
Ezekiel's fellow exiles were in the habit of quoting a proverb which expressed their c ynicism and pessimism: "Fathers have eaten green g rapes, thus their children's t eeth are on edge." (Chapter 18:2)
They saw their sad plight as a divine p unishment for the sins of their forefathers and they considered themselves more or less innocent victims caught in a trap from which there was no escape. While there was an element of truth in this. Ezekiel hammered home the truth that ultimately each individual is responsible for his own actions and for the consequences of those actions. While their sorry situation was the result of their fathers' and their own sins, it was not an irrevocable sentence of unending doom.
Each person could do something to bring about better days.

If we make a greater conscious effort to grow in Christ, the reality of sin will become less a part of our lives and we won't be so embarrassed. 2. "The priest might know who I am." So?

Some people may not realise all the roles confessors sometimes fulfil by serving as spiritual advisers. C onfessors aid many people in the delicate business of becoming responsible C hristians. Often the confessor is asked to guide someone in the laborious process of growing up — spiritually, intellectually, emotionally. In such a situation, the spiritual guide will "listen carefully and make suggestions" and sometimes recommend certain readings, explained a monk in the Washington, D.C., area who is frequently a sked to serve in the role of a spiritual director. Other times, what people seek is help in achieving "a degree of personal accountability and responsibility" to God and to others, the monk explained. This includes a ssuming responsibility for personal actions and acknowledging that those actions effect others. In the spiritual director's meetings with an individual, the sacrament of penance is not necessarily part of the picture on each and every occasion. But on the occasions when it is, the sacrament is a "way of placing before God through the priest the things we perceive as harmful to others," the monk said. The sacrament becomes an occasion when people grapple with real difficulties in their lives. The sacrament of penance can help in freeing people from illusions they have grown comfortable with; it can serve as a time for taking stock of strengths and weaknesses, the monk explained. For some people, the kind of human contact that is part of their meetings with a spiritual director is important. Talking with a spiritual adviser means that at least one other person knows all about you. But a general fear of rejection is often a problem for the people he meets as a spiritual director, the monk said. Frightened at the very prospect of opening themselves to God, they need reassurance. Some people turn to spiritual advisers as sounding boards for the important decisions that are hard to make, according to the monk. And often, talking with a confessor or a spiritual adviser allows people to see what their priorities are and to make decisions in line with those priorities.
that's really getting in the way? We frequently set up obstacles to our own forgiveness. 7. "It's been such a long t ime since my last confession." If you keep putting it off it'll only get longer. 8. "I'm afraid that the priest might get angry with me." His role is to extend the love and mercy of Christ to you. 9. "I don't think I need to go." Think a little harder. 10. "OK, you win. I ran out of reasons." No, actually, you're the one who wins. May y ou find the Lord's peace.

But it reflects much more profound changes. Before the exile, and especially before the fall of Samaria in 722 B.C. and the dispersal of the 10 tribes which made up the northern kingdom. the Israelites were a people made up of several tribes. Now all that remains, for all practical purposes, is the southern tribe of Judah. Hence the religion, their way of life, is now called Judaism and the people are called Jews. Since Ezekiel was the most influential individual involved in this transition, he has often been called the father of Judaism. He has a right to this distinction on several counts. Just the fact that he contributed so mightily to keeping the people together as a distinct national and religious unit when so many forces were at work to pull them apart -- that alone would justify giving him this title. But his infuence was by no means limited to the direct impact he had on his own generation. Ezekiel took the materials of Israel's old traditions and reworked them, giving them a new direction, a new meaning. His teachings — on the t ranscendent oneness and holiness of God, on t he personal, moral responsibility of each individual human being. on Israel as a religious community and a church. rather than a nation - exerted a profound influence on subsequent Jewish thinking and writing. In fact, the exact extent of Ezekiel's influence defies human measurement. It was varied, pouerful and far-reaching. His many disciples saw to that.

Vatican message received this week
El
fortnight ago we
'celebrated the Feast
of the Good Shepherd, a day set aside for prayers f or the vocations. To mark the occasion, Pope John Paul ll issued a special message from the Vatican, in which he stresses the importance of the vocations. His statement follows:
This photograph of last year's ordination of Father Vincent Glynn by Archbishop Goody is the feature of this year's vocations poster on display in all parishes.
A vocation statement from pope
Writing from the Vatican on the feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple at Jerusalem, the pope declared celebrating this day was "always a source of joy" for him. His message reads: "I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth" (Acts 13:47). "My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me" On 10:27). Thus we read in the liturgical readings of the Fourth Sunday after Easter. on which we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Vocations.

IF,
or all those who have ever suffered from a 'bad back' there is comfort in the news that a specialist area of physiotherapy is breaking new ground and bringing increased relief to those in need. Manipulative therapy is not an alternative to medicine but is complementary to it . . . it arises out of a real need where statistics show around 80 per cent of the people in our community will suffer from some spinal related problem at some stage in their life. It may be caused by sport, work or an automobile accident and it will be u ncomfortable if not painful. The spine is a remarkable s tructure, offering us strength and stability as well as a wide range of movement. The amount of flexibility the human spine can provide is really awesome but because it is so a daptable it is also vulnerable. Manipulati‘e therapist, Kathryn O'Callaghan, who is one of the parttime lecturers for the manipulative therapy course conducted at the Western Australian Institute of Technology, says with a trend away from drugs more people are looking for natural forms of relief. Manipulative therapy involves total examination of the patient and also analysis of the movement pattern dysfunction in an effort to try and find out why things are not working as they should. "It is a gentle form of treatment," said Kathryn, "where the area can be mechanically moved in the direction of stiffness or can be manipulated for relief."
The manipulative therapists treat muscular-skeletal conditions with specific 'hands-on' techniques, manipulating joints and soft tissue surrounding the joints. They undertake spinal manipulation and are concerned with conditions arising out of road accidents and other trauma, arthritis, disc disease and joint conditions of the spine which could radiate pain into the limbs. They also treat symptoms arising from congenital spinal defects. It's all too easy, says Kathryn, to sustain a back injury and even easier to try and avoid them. Lifting, she says, is one of the most common causes of trouble. Lifting with straight legs puts incredible stress on the lumbar spine and disc which is one of the prime sources of radiating back pain. Compared to the pressure or load in upright standing position, forward leaning and weight lifting increases the pressure on the lumbar disc by more than 100 per cent. Lack of exercise, bad posture and inadequate seating for sedentary workers all cause problems. Some of the best ways to avoid trouble is to swim regularly.. . . it is the best form of exercise. Manipulative therapy is steadily proving its worth. In a study carried out in Perth in 1981, an American manipulative therapist in conjunction with Dr Lance Twomey, head of the Department of Physiotherpay at WAIT compared alternative treatments for acute back pain sustained through such causes as an explosive sneeze, twisting, rising from a chair and picking up a box.
A weekly feature by
120S11:,'Si UOSS Of 40 patients, half had been given only manipulative therapy with the hands, while the other half had physiotherapy including heat treatment, exercises and instruction on both mechanics.
I
e study showed that those twho had 'hands only' manipulative therapy had recovered more quickly than the others. The findings substantiated those. from a similar study in Sweden. In a report to the Australian Medical Association it was stated manipulation as a single or associated form of treatment of physical musculoskeletal conditions has a very valid role to play in medicine. It has been used in medical management throughout the ages, and it received much attention in historical writing. Hippocrates taught his students manipulative techniques and illustrations of his described methods of 'reducing luxated vertebrae' were incorporated in Byzantine manuscripts, and later as prints in texts such as Vidius' Chirurgia of 1544. Much reference is made of other renowned teachers throughout the ages advocating physical techniques to treat physical conditions.
Today it is still very evident that associated management of a physical type is required for the large percentage of musculoskeletal conditions seen by doctors. Each patient is treated differently according to his or her general health. the degree of pathology of the condition and the subjective level of pain. A technique of manipulation administered to one patient could be quite different from that given to another patient with the same diagnosis. For communication and recording purposes, manipulative or passive movement techniques are graded from to V. Those grades for I to IV commonly being called mobilisation techniques and grade V usually being referred to as manipulation.
Back injuries are probably ri mong the most common suffered by people
in the workplace and in domestic situations. A fall on the stairs at work picking up a heavy parcel incorrectly. . .or just working in the househld or garden can lead to years of pain and restricted activity Even sitting on a chair incorrectly. . .or sleeping on an illchosen mattress. . .can cause injury.
Back injuries can be among the most painful, most restrictive and the most difficult to rectify. For years sufferers of back pain have flocked to physiotherapists and chiropractors seeking relief. Now comes word of a new specialist area of physiotherapy breaking important new ground in treatment and bringing increased relief for back pain patients.
Specialists' new era in treatment
M
m obilisation techniques are those techiques of passive ovement where the joint surfaces or tissues and structures are moved within their physiological range of motion. Grade I being a very controlled gentle movement at the commencement of range, and grade IV a controlled stretching movement towards the end of range of motion. Manipulation or grade V which may produce an audible 'click', is a controlled thrust movement within the anatomical range of motion. A grade I mobilisation may be given when a condition is more painful than stiff and a grade IV mobilisation or a grade V manipulation may be given to increase range of motion when the condition is due to stiffness rather than pain. There could well be a progression from Grade I techniques right up to grade V techniques as the condition Improves. The type of grade and the technqiue used is dependent upon initial examination with detailed assessment of pain area and pain behaviour, muscle spasm, neurological signs and movement in terms of structure integrity, joint play, accessory movement and physiological movement. Careful assessment is then carried
out at the time of treatment, at the conclusion of a treatment session and prior to follow-up treatment. This assessment dominates the manipulative management of a patient's condition and dictates the basis of treatment. As a result of this type of assessment manipulative therapy treatment is aimed at a gentle coaxing of return of normal motions of tissues and joints without stressing supportive joint mechanisms or increasing pain or muscle spasm. On the application of some techniques, a degree of pain may be felt, but this would be in accordance with t he principle of applying some tension to tissue that may be in a contracted state due to the nature of the condition being treated. This pain would be in the same category as that felt by anyone exercising a stiff knee.
W
estern Australia is a leader in the field of manipulative therapy and the Graduate Diploma offered at WAIT was designed and accredited in 1974 to meet the need expressed by the profession for further development at the graduate level of the specific skills involved in the practice of this therapy. Intake to the programme has been gradually expanded from nine in 1974 to 12 this year with four places taken by overses students. Since 1974 similar programmes have been introduced in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, these last two commencing in 1979. Demand from physiotherapists in other countries is high and appears to be increasing. Australia and the Scandinavian countries lead the world in this type of treatment approach. At the moment the only formal graduate courses provided are in Australia. Students must havew completed the three and a half year physiotherapists course and two years in practice before being eligible for selection to the manipulative therapy course.
You would not stand like this don't sleep like it
Prevention is always better than cure and the spine itself, and the muscles that are linked with it, can all too easily be wrenched or strained in a way that leads to pain or disability. There are a number of simple measures that you can take to care for your back. • Choose your bed carefully. A soft bed may appeal but can lead to long-term problems. The mattress should be as firm as you can bear. • Choose your shoes wisely. All too often we pay a high price in comfort and health for the sake of being in fashion. Too high heels offer inadequate support to the ankles — and when the ankles wobble it is the back that takes the strain. • Try to sleep with one pillow. Sleeping as flat as possible is much better for your back. • Learn how to lift weights. Never bend o ver to pick up a child or a load of shopping. Always give at the knees, and then when the load is safely in your arms or hands, rise slowly. • Check all your seating, especially in cars if you drive a lot, or at your desk if you work there all day. The back of the seat should be firm, and should support the lumbar area — the lower back. • If you have to remain seated for long periods, get up every hour or so (if you're driving, pull over to a rest area) and march about for a few minutes to get your muscles back into working order. In the long term you'll work harder and better for using those few minutes for your back's care. • Always perform tasks involving twisting or stretching slowly. Rushing at them is all too likely to wrench a muscle and lead to prolonged pain. • Check all your working surfaces, if you work standing up (for example, in the kitchen) to make sure you don't have to stoop to work. Better to have your hands a little too high than to have the surface too low — but ideally it should be set at the height that suits you best. The Record, May 5 — May 11, 1983

COUNT STOOK showed he is up to Welter Class when easily winning the Liquorland Welter at Belmont on Saturday. Count Stook not only won but in doing so smashed the track record. He can be followed in similar races in the weeks ahead. ECHOES OF SPRING showed he is back to his best when flying home to finish second to Wildside in the Appealathon Quality Stakes. Echoes of Spring has matched it with the best sprinters in the past and he could be ready to do it again. GILT SOVEREIGN could be ready to win in the city after he was very unlucky in finishing a close-up fifth to Radar Man on Saturday. This galloper could easily pick up a weak graduation in the near future.
