ADDRESS 26 John Street, Perth, WA, 6000 PO Box 50, Aberdeen Street, Perth, VVA, 6000

The pope spoke during his Angelus blessing at St Peter's Square a few hours after two bomb attacks killed at least 161 US marines and left at least 58 French soldiers dead or missing. U S, French, Italian and British troops form an international peace k eeping force sent to Lebanon to help the central government establ ish control over the country's f euding pol itical and religious f actions. "This morning the news spread a round the world of two grave t errorist attacks perpetrated in Beirut, Lebanon, that claimed scores of victims among the American and French military who serve in the multi-I . tional peace force sent to that torrnented country," the pope said. " A feeling of great pain, horror and denunciation arises in the soul. Y oung lives were cruelly cut off w hile they were performing a mission of peace. It is a new violence that is added to the massacres that have spilled a trail of blood and mourning among the people of Beirut and villages in the region," he said. "It is a new fact of war in a moment in which, taking advantage of the fragile truce, an attempt is being made to resume a dialogue between the parties," he said. The pope asked 80,000 people in the square to pray with him for the young men who died, for the other victims and for the comfor-t of their f amilies.

S trong objections to some provisions of the Sex Discrimination Bill 1983 have been expressed by Archbishop Francis P. Carroll, Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn, in a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr Hawke. He said that he was "profoundly disturbed by what I am advised would be the effect of certain provisions of the Bill if it were to become law." P articular provisions of the measure imposed unjust obligations on certain members of the • quite apart from any community, conscientious beliefs. He was concerned at the absence of any pro on to protect the freedom of conscience of individual Australians.

The Bill's approach to abortion was the first cause for concern. One effect of Clause 24 would make it unlawful for a hospital conducted by the Capital Territory Health Commission to refuse to perform an abortion on a pregnant woman who requested it. Ariother effect would be to make it unlawful for a doctor or nurse employed by the Commission t o decline to perform or participate in the performance of an abortion requested by a pregnant woman. A rchbishop Carroll said the amendment proposed by the government to Section 20, even in its application to "services" was too narrow. Would it, he asked, justify a refusal by a hospital or medical p• ractitioner to perform a sterilisation operation? Would it provide a defence to a registered marriage celebrant under the Marriage Act who refused to marry a couple on the gound one or both were divorced persons? Would it make any difference if the registered marriage celebrant were a Catholic priest? "In the area of supply of goods the archbishop continued. "I have an uneasy' feeling a pharmacist may. be held to act unlawfully if he were to refuse suIIly of contraceptives to any person irrespective of age. or to a person who was not married.• Cont page 2

Church and civic leaders throughout WA this week are adding their signatures to a petition aimed at obtaining the release of thousands of "prisoners of conscience" in dozens of countries throughout the world. A mnesty International, the organisers of the worldwide petition, hope to get more than 10 million signatures. Last December, Amnesty International launched a worldwide year-long signature drive for the petition seeking the release of people imprisoned only for their ideas or origins. S even Nobel Peace Prize winners, including Willy Brandt and Andre Sakharov, supported the campaign. The petitions circulating in many parts of the world, will be presented to all heads of state and to the United Nations. Lech Walesa, who has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, was himself a "prisoner of conscience,'' adopted by A mnesty International, which in 1977 also received the Peace Prize. The petitions call for the release of all prisoners of c onscience men and w omen imprisoned in m any countries solely because of their political or religious beliefs, their colour or ethnic origin, w ho have not used or advocated violence.

Kojonup has a holy occasion On a perfect October day, the 27th annual Rosary rally was held on the property of Peter and Julie Jeffs 25km south-west of Kojonup. About 700 people made the journey to Maryland to honour the Blessed Virgin a nd meet the pope's wish for Catholics to participate in the Holy Year celebrations. Those who attended came from parishes a s widely scattered as Kukerin to the east, M andurah and Perth to the north, Busselton and Bunbury to the west and Albany to the south

The parish of Albany was represented by approximately 55 parishioners, 45 of whom came on a bus organised by the Legion of Mary. Mass was celebrated at II am beneath the cover of a large marquee, the chief c elebrant being Bishop Myles McKeon of Bunbury. Singing of the hymns was led by the Shalomite Singers f rom Perth, who on a number of occasions have enhanced the liturgy of the day with their music and quality of voice. Following the Mass, a picnic lunch was thoroughly enjoyed in a beautiful country setting. Many acquaintances were renewed and new ones made as people intermingled with their former parish priests and took the opportunity to meet the bishop and religious sisters. The Rosary was prayed in front of Our Lady's statue set in an outcrop of granite rock, each decade being led by a couple representing various parishes.

Protest to Hawke • From page 1

In requiring all people in so many areas of activity to treat persons in de facto relationships on terms of equality with married persons, the Bill denigrated the institution of marriage in our society very seriously. Archbishop Carroll called for amendment of the Bill's provisions covering religious bodies. Clause 31A, the main provision for exempting non-government schools from certain provisions of the Bill, would be of little significance and likely to provoke much disputation.

The Record, October 28 — November 3, 1983

Many of the nurses present were in their uniforms and capes, which added colour. Lessons were read by Miss Joy Brann, Co-ordinator educator of the Palliative C are Service, and Miss Norah Hook, of the Silver Chain Nursing Association.

The Hospice Palliative Care Service has as its prime function the care of the t erminally ill and their relatives and friends before death. It also sees that it has a responsibility to care for those who grieve after the death of the one they love.

The Rev Dr Douglas McAdam, director of the Hospice Palliative Care Service, read the Gospel.

A large portion of the St Luke's Day service was devoted to prayers and h ymns asking God for s trength, guidance and comfort for the care-givers. It was seen to be essential that recognition be given that people die in the Hospice Palliative Care Service.

Bishop Healy welcomed the congregation of over 730 and led the opening prayer. The Anglican Archbishop of Perth, the most Rev Dr Peter Carnley, delivered the address. The Rev Dr Michael ()wen, Moderator of the Uniting Church, read the Prayer of Intercession.

The congregation was led in a memorial prayer by Father John Ryan, co-ordinating chaplain to the Hospice Palliative Care Service.

Shocks in abortion statistics

ADELAIDE — Archbishop Gleeson said today he is deeply distressed by the number of abortions being carried out in South Australia. He was commenting in The Southern Cross, SA's Catholic weekly, on a Sunday Mail story last weekend. It said 4059 abortions were performed in the state last year. "I have not yet seen the official report the story was based on," Archbishop Gleeson said. "But the figures it quotes are horrifying. "On Saturday night I watched part of a TV programme on the atrocities perpetrated at Auschwitz concentration camp under the Hitler regime. "The programme criticised the Allies for not taking action to bring the atrocities to an end sooner. "Now we read more than 4000 lives are being destroyed by abortion in our state. "Unlike the Auschwitz massacres, this is not the work of people who are generally regarded as racist megalomaniacs. "The 4000 young lives in SA were destroyed by men and women professionally committed to saving life. "It was done with the consent of the children's mothers, or at their request. "This is a great sin — an evil crying out to heaven. "We most all try to help our fellow citizen realise what a terrible thing is going on in arar ceammity. "We should also try to kelp these appreciate the dignity and beauty of human life at every stage."

A chat in Heaven It was a sunny afternoon chat in Heaven. The speaker was obviously from Western Australia. "My mates down there are slipping. Too many bank robberies for my liking. Too many violent crimes. We hear of more broken marriages, battered wives, damaged children; we hear of rape, abortion, even infanticide. I know about the America's Cup, the telethon and other good things But I'm concerned." "What about the shooting down of a defenceless passenger plane' chips in another. "What about these nuclear weapons of destruction." "Is there any answer?".. a voice from nowhere Suggestions pour in. "Increase the police force and equip it with guns." "Equip a United Nations force with nuclear arms". "Make more laws and increase legal penalties". "Law and order must be restored" .. a voice of an old dictator. "Our culture was built on scholarship and ethics".. Confucius spoke up. "Don't put the cart before the horse." "Scholarship. Yes .. with a better balanced education .. not all science and mathematics but some human values." The Australian continued "Our education is free and compulsory. It is also secular. This means too often .. without human values." "What human values?" challenges a voice. "Self discipline." "That's repression." "No. It's self restraint." "Any other suggestion'!" "Yes .. the value of the individual human person." "Any other?" "Yes.. the value of keeping one's word." "The needs of all mankind." Aquinas spoke up .. "Law needs ethics, just as ethics need law." "My suggestion is to free people from their fears and stress. Look to the quality of counselling. We hear too many phoney counsellors on radio" this came from a follower of Freud. "Explain the difference between repression and self-restraint." "Why don't earthlings follow their conscience?" another questioned. "What is conscience?" "It's me judging what is right and wrong. It tells us to love others, including our Creator. It helps us all solve our problems." "Conscience is enlightened by human reason. An easier and surer way to avoid error is to listen to God's communication through Jesus. This comes through God's Church interpreting the Scriptures." Paul with John had joined the group. "Yes. The gospel is the power of God saving." "It's all God's work." John agreed with a quote "Without Me, you can do nothing." Then he summed up .. "Don't rely on force alone or law alone or scholafship alone. Rely rather on conscience, guided by Christlike love, the gift of God."

Grave threat to freedoms

It is difficult to comprehend the attitude of Australians to freedom. Our papers are filled with concern for one group or another constantly — the V ietnamese, Aborigines, battered wives, t he unemployed, even the right of companies to advertise. A ll of these are genuine and deserve concern. But there is at the moment a graver t hreat to the freedom of Australia, than this country has ever before seen. The threat embraces every man, woman and child, the family, tradition, culture, religion and education, and will undermine employment and industry. And yet on the eve of this portending tragedy our media is almost silent. I refer to the Sex Discrimination Bill about to be legislated in the Federal Parliament.

Salle College was a successful entrant in the 1983 National Art Award for secondary students. This award is sponsored b y The Australian and The Commonwealth Banking Corporation. Other successful entrants included students from John Forrest Senior High School, Christchurch Grammar and Scarborough Senior High School. Mr K. McLeod from the C ommonwealth Bank Midland visited La Salle to award R ichard with his o fficial certificate a nd S50 prize money. Richard's work received an enthusiastic response from judge, Mr Tony Bond, the assistant director curator of the National Art Gallery. M r Bond said of R ichard's painting w hich was called Deep Into Each Others' Eyes: "It's very quirky and humorous but at the same ironic. "It's a bizarre parody of the traditional connotations of the r omantic couple and the use of colour is terrific."

Busselton celebrates a jubilee

•From page 2. From this point, a long procession was made back t o the marquee for the homily and benediction. In his address, Bishop McKeon emphasised the Importance of praying the Rosary in the home as a family and echoed the words o f the world-renowned Rosary campaigner, Father Payton: "The family that p rays together stays t ogether." The importance of praying the Rosary in the home was further emphasised when he referred to the Pope John Paul II letter, The Role of :he Christian Family in the Modern World, and went on t o develop the Pope's statement: "The Rosary should he considered one of the best and most efficacious prayers In common that the Christian family can recite." In acknowledging Mary w hen praying, Bishop McKeon noted that we are recognising Mary as our mother.

Nostalgia was the keynote of a ceremony over which Bishop Quinn presided recently at Busselton. With 10 other priests of the diocese, he offered a Mass of t hanksgiving to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of St Joseph's church by Archbishop Clune. A bout 300 people, many of them present when the church was opened in 1 933, saw Bishop Quinn bless and unveil a plaque dedicated to the pioneer C atholics of St Joseph's parish. A display of historical religious objects c reated much attention and received many favourable comments. A mong the memorabilia was an iron tabernacle thought to have been used in the first church of St Joseph, and several pictures which had been donated t o the parish before the turn of the century.

A s well as these exhibits, the pupils of St Joseph's School had prepared an i l lustrated "time - l ine" depicting interesting events in the parish over the past 140 years.

HOME TOWN PRIEST

Preceding the Saturday c elebrations, a parish dinner, attended by 150 people, had been held. S pecial guests were Bishop Peter Quinn and some of the priests who had served in the parish over the last 50 years. They included Father S.

Father Ian Johnson and S ister Eileen Johnson were unavoidably absent. A highlight of the dinner was the cutting of the golden jubilee cake by long-time parishioners, Mr and Mrs Eb Harris. The Harris family were pioneer settlers of the B usselton Quindalup district. The names Henderson and Berry were closely associated with the building of St Joseph's church in 1933, Mr E.IeB. H enderson being the a rchitect and Messrs Berry Bros carrying out t he erection of the church. Representatives o f both families were p resent at the celebrations. A lthough parishioners have worshipped in the present church for 50 years, it is not the first house of prayer to be built in the parish. In 1866, a small band of v olunteer workmen, under the supervision of Christopher Wheatman ( great-grandfather of Father Evan Penberthy) commenced the building of a small church. The walls were constructed from blocks of limestone taken from the banks of the Vasse river, and the roof was shingle. After two years work, the church was completed.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Senator comes under attack Appreciation of our newspaper from JACK JONES, Education Department Sir, For some time now I have been intending to write to you expressing my appreciation of the wonderful 40C worth of reading I find in each and every edition of The Record. The quality of some of the past year's editorials, e specially those concerned with international events, are second-to-none anywhere in the world in their informed, balanced and f ar-seeing viewpoint. The fact they are expressed in a literary style that is, at once simple, subtle and most engaging is a pleasing bonus. Praise, too, for the in-depth profiles by Roslyn R oss and Bob Boyle, as well as the many o ther refreshingly wholesome family f eatures. I wonder if the average Catholic is aware that some of the best reading to be found in the Press is there in their own Record. If not, this timely reminder hopefully might prompt them to take a look for themselves.

A moral point is raised from FRANCIS HRUBOS, Glen Forrest

from FATHER C. CUSACK, San Remo (Vic)

The State Aid debate is hotting up in all directions with some of the more important issues being or ignored e ither misrepresented. Senator Susan Ryan for e xample claims that increased funds are going into the Private sector. Sure, but increased funds are also going into the Government sector, and some of the increased f unding in the Private (Catholic) sector is at the e xpense of "wealthy" Protestant schools. Senator Ryan, wittingly or otherwise had laid the foundations for renewed sectarian conflict with a - divide and conquer• • philosophy T he senator has now stated integration of the C atholic Parish school system into the Government system is not Labor policy. It is however the policy o f the Independent T eachers' Federation which claims to represent 1 4,000 teachers from Private schools throughout Australia. The National Conference of the ITF last December called upon all teachers ( State and Private) to cooperate towards the integration of the Private schools into the "State Education System". G iven the doctrinaire approach to politics by major teaching unions and ALP compliance, we have not heard the end of integration. N ew Zealand, it is c laimed, already has integration. There is no educational parallel between the two countries in this regard. By comparison with Australia, New Zealand had a very small parochial school system and a small Catholic population. There are certain principles upon which State Aid should be based. 1 . It is the parent — not the politician, the teacher, or the (alleged) educational "expert" —who possesses the final choice of school for his own child. 2. In terms of government f inancial payments, al l parents should be treated equally, irrespective of the school chosen: government or non-government, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish or nothing. 3. Equal treatment for the parent can only be guaranteed by equal "per capita" payments for every child, r egardless of school

4 The best way of making those per capita payments is not to give lump sums t o any religious denomination or to any school, but to provide a parental edu cational allowance (hke the old government hospi tal benefit which the pa t ient had to pay to the hospital), which the parent can only pay to the school chosen 5 Finally, as to systems the non -government sys tems must preserve the integrity of their "ethos by being totally independ ent of government

Fretilin seen as the aggresor f rom J. F HARDING, Dianella Your front page article A ttacks on East Timor Policy quoting the national secretary of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace needs to be answered and the issue right in its s een perspective. The withdrawal of Portugal with little notice from i ts former colony, witnessed an all out attempt by the pro marxist Fretelin clique to seize control of East Timor. This was aided a nd abetted to a large degree by the handing over or seizure of military e quipment by Fretelin f rom the Portugese garrison. Had the attempt been successful Australia and Indonesia would very quickly have found a pro marxist junta within very easy reach of every major c ity with the probable granting of port and airport f acilities to the Soviet Union.

Attitude A ustralia's attitude to defence and foreign affairs has a long history of dithering and laxity (to put the most charitable version) however, Indonesia has every reason not to forget the disastrous years of the Soekano administration w ith its ties to Soviet R ussia and the acquisition of large amounts of Soviet weaponry which brought about the Menzies government's decision to purchase for the RAAF the F 111's. The truth has yet again been the major casualty in East Timor and the articles accredited to CCJP - secretary Sidon' does little to correct the imbalance. A delegation led by Mr W hitlam visited, with unrestricted itinerary, East Timor some two years ago at the time when a, since proved false, famine story was being circulated; Mr Whitlam's report gave the lie to that infamous tale.

A Timor question is posed An intra parliamentary delegation lead by Mr M orrison has recently made a similar visit and again cleared the Indonesians of the spuriou stories circulated by people who should know much better. A minority report was circulated by Senator G. McIntosh, long known for his public support of many left wing issues, including blatant anti Americanism disguised as protecting us from the so termed dangers from visits by nuclear powered US naval vessels.

Mr Sidotti and the Catholic Commission should expend just a little effort on endeavouring to have the Soviet leave ravaged A fghanistan and to cease pouring multi millions of dollars into supporting V ietnam's aggression against Laos and Cambodia, not to mention giving our Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Baltic, Ukrainian, Ethiopian brothers freedom of self-determination and to cease promoting wars of national liberation inCentralandSouthAmerIca and the African continent.

Opinionist M. Sassi ( 14.10) and fellow pro abortionists should ponder a t least the fol lowing dilemna. Which action is of a higher moral value — to bear a conceived child or to destroy it? M Sassi should not blame the anti -abortionists f or the fighting against. abortion on demand They are not doing it of their own volition but are complying with the wishes of t he final authority on morals -- God A person who believes and respects God cannot do otherwise M Sassi should address herself to God to change the laws on moral behaviour he gave us. No matter whether our society is patriarchal or not it is the sole role of women to bear children. The adjective 'patriarchal' would be in place if man had the ability to bear children and forced the women to be the tools of his wishes to provide the f uture generations Medical science with all the different transplants would never succeed on t ransplanting fertilised egg into a man's body in order to bear a child. A t the very conception there is already in every detail the future human being and the destruction of a foetus is either murder or manslaughter of the f uture human being, which is the culmination of all creation no matter if we believe in the theory of evolution or creation. By destroying the unborn ones we are deliberately nullifying the millions of years back where was the beginning of all life.

Discrimination CARPET Opinion aired FORUM from M. BUTLER, Morley Sir, Of all the letters on page four ("The Record' October 7 -13, 1983), only two were not concerned with sex discrimination. As a young person within t oday's Church, and a bui lder of tomorrow's C hurch. I 'm sure that some people would like to hear my views and the views of other young people. Indeed, in my TYCS (Tertiary Young Christian Students) review group, we have considered the issue in quite some depth. I am sure many of the other Youth Movements have thoughts on the topic also. However, I would be very surprised if any young people would write a letter to share young ideas with t he Church wider community. Two weeks ago, several

members of the various Youth Movements carefully prepared and wrote l etters concerning an article which appeared on the Youth Page ( -The Record' Oct 23-29, 1983). T he article concerned criticised the leadership of the Catholic youth on the Catholic Youth Council. You have chosen not to print any of these letters Today, the morale of youth is often low due to things such as unemployment. It is dismaying to see any efforts we make t o comment on the C hurch, and society in general, are often rejected. We do not profess to have all the answers. Our aim is to share our concerns with the wider Church and t hen be guided by the Churchcommunity•sexperiences in these areas of concern.

r—IREYKJAVIK (Iceland) — This year

L_JIceland churches begin a series of

c elebrations to mark the 1000th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity. Since the exact date is not known when the Gospel was first preached in Iceland, Bishop Frehen, SMM of Reykjavik and his Lutheran colleagues have agreed to hold joint celebrations c ulminating in the year 2000, the 1000th anniversary of the decision by the Althing, the country's parliament, to accept Christianity as the nation's religion. A t the end of the last century there was only one Catholic family on the island. F rom this family came the first Icelandic Catholic bishop of modern times, Bishop Johannes Gunnarsson, Vicar Apostolic of Iceland from 1943 to 1 968. who died in 1972

Pope says new saint was poor monk VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II canonised a Capuchin priest and made an impassioned appeal for world peace on October 16, the fifth anniversary of his election to the papacy. The pope told 100,000 visitors in St Peter's Square that the new saint, Father Leopold Mandic, was "a poor monk" whose greatness was his gift of hearing confessions.

ROME -- Thieves have stolen the bones and other valuable articles of a 15th century saint from a chapel in the tiny southern Italian town of Paola, and police said they fear a r ansom may be demanded for the r eturn of the relics The bones of St Francis of Paola, the patron saint and founder of the community of Minim Friars, were removed from a sanctuary in the church that is part of the friars' monastery. The gang made off with several of the saint's bones along with a sculpted silver container made in the 17th c entury and weighing 40 kilos. In addition, they took a 26 kilo silver and gold statue of the saint, his rosary, one of his sandals, his cassock, a crucifix and a gold votive lamp

Liberation Christian theology LIMA — contrary to some people's beliefs, "liberation theology" is a Christian theology, not a Marxist manifesto f or Latin America, said Father G ustavo Gutierrez, who coined the term.

It is a theology born out of the religious, political and sociological experience of l_atin America. Father Gutierrez, a Peruvian priest and author of A Theology of Liberation, said: "People say my book is about political liberation. This is not true. It is one aspect. no more." Liberation theology, which identifies the Christian salvation of the whole person a s freedom from social. economic and political oppression as well as spiritual liberation, has been accused by some critics of using Marxist theory under t he guise of Christianity. Father Gutierrez referred t o what he called a partial and "sometimes not fair" interpretation of the subject matter of his book as purely "social analysis".

[he pope urged Christians to bear witness "even in our difficult age in which man seems threatened not onl.‘,. b y self-destruction and nuclear death, but also spiritual death. "Free us from hunger and war. Free us from nuclear war, from an incalculable self-destruction, from every type of war."the pope said. repeating a prayer he first made in Fatima. Portugal, in May. 1982. Father Mandic. born in Croatia in what is now Yugoslavia in 1866, spent m ost of his priestly life hearing confessions in the northern Italian city of Padua. He died in 1942 and was beatified in 1976. His canonisation was purposely scheduled during the 1983 World Synod of Bishops, which during October is discussing penance and reconciliation in the life of the Church. The canonisation ceremom was attended by 45 cardinals and 160 bishops. "St Leopold didn't leave behind theological or literar works. He didn't fascinate us with his culture. He didn't found social institutions. For those who knew him. he w as nothing but a poor monk, small and sickly." Pope John Paul said. His sainthood was in the performance of his simple pastoral task of hearing confessions, the pope added A ttending the ceremon were 6000 pilgrims from the Yugoslavian region of Croatia and several thousand people from Padua.

Thanks for the Mass VATICAN CITY — Polish-born Pope John Paul has thanked Poles for the Masses celebrated throughout Poland on the papal anniversary. On October 16, 1978, Cardinal Karol Woityla of Cracow, Poland, was elected the first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years and chose the name John Paul II. The day before the canonisation ceremony the pope greeted 20,000 youths in St Peter's Square and told them that "it is not enough to know the truth -- you must live it. "You must be messengers of hope with your joy, your innocence and your help. I know 1 can count on you." the pope said. He met individually with many of the young people, who were in Rome for a meeting of Italian Catholic action groups.

KNOW YOUR F AITH

PATHWAYS OF THE SPIRIT Stress is a vital f actor Stress is as much a part of our lives as sunshine and taxes. Psychologists say we spend a lot of time and e nergy coping with stress. Television talk show hosts discuss ways to reduce stress, while magazine articles describe methods for limiting stress in our l ives. But what in the world does stress have to do with religion? Put simply, it has every t hing to do with religion and with theology and with living our Christian lives. If our faith cant help us make some sense of the stresses in our lives then our faith is probably removed from life's realities. I'm very familiar with stress because I had to come to terms wit it in my own ministry. It happened when I was appointed to serve as pastor in a parish some time ago.

remind me that the stress was there. At the same time, fortunately, some parents talked with me about t heir own sleepless nights and frustrations. Their stress came from trying to give their teenagers a Christian formation in a most secular city. They too were doing what they could, and felt that it wasn't enough. At least I wasn't alone. Like me, those parents h ad to relate the stresses of their lives to their faith. So together we decided to try to figure out how our faith addressed the pressures we faced. What did we come up with? To begin with, we found out that the way people look on stress today takes a particularly modern twist. Stress gets in the way of the comfort that many people feel they are entitled to enjoy. Stress, as a psychological description is a new idea. But living with stress is often mentioned in the Gospels. In fact, if we translate what we mean by stress into the ideas of Jesus we find out that He used it as a key issue. Jesus warned His fol lowers that their lives would be difficult. They would experience per s ecution, rejection

By Father David K. O'Rourke, OP Once into parish ministry, I realised that the r esources available to me were not up to the demands of good ministry in that tough town. I knew what good ministry was and felt I didn't have the means to provide it. I did what I could, and it wasn't good enough. And that is as good a prescription for stress as there is. Many sleepless nights helped

Stress is a common and complicating problem. Sometimes stress causes people to feel that their lives are disordered and that they are not what they hope to be as persons. But is all stress bad for us? Severe stress can lead to illness. But some of the stress generated by daily events is a normal indication that we are aware of problems and needs that should be addressed by us. Stress is as much a part of our lives as sunshine and taxes, writes Dominican Father David K. O'Bourke. He tells of a time when he found himself under stress. But the concern generating stress for him was a legitimate concern, he says, and his stress was not out of line. Father O 'Rourke is with the Family Life Office in the Diocese of Oakland, California. Theodore Hengesbach turns to people of the New Testament for some suggestions on ways of approaching stress. Hengesbach is an administrator and teacher at Indiana University in South Bend, Ind. Katharinne Bird interviews a counsellor about ways of managing stress. In stressful situations, people often feel they are being controlld too much by persons and events outside themselves, Ms Birds writes. Something can be done about this, however. Ms Bird is associate editor of the Know Your Faith series. Father John Castelot discusses the stress Jesus experienced in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus feared that His little band of disciples wouldn't hold together through the coming events of His Passion, Father Castelot indicates. 8

Balanced life D ominican Father K evin D. O'Rourke is director of the Centre f or Health Care Ethics at St Louis University. He was interviewed about the relationship between stress, good health and effective Christian service to others. The priest said that he is convinced that paying attention to physic a I , mental and spiritual well-being pays off in the ability to minister on a longterm basis. For 10 years, Father O'Rourke has been a marathon runner who jogs pretty much on a daily basis. Jogging is a "contemplative experience" for him and he feels strongly that it "helps me to put things in perspective." He considers exercise valuable in helping to integrate the various facets of his life. When ministers work w ith individuals, F ather O'Rourke remarked, it is helpful to check out their con-

The Record, October 28 — November 3, 1983

cept of what a balanced life is. "Nobody ever attains perfect balance," cautioned the Dominican. Recognising this is an "important step in p sychological growth." People often come to the inaccurate conclusion that life should be free of all stress, he c ontinued. Sometimes people take this to mean that balanced persons will respond to events without displaying their emotions. The Return of the Jedi, the current film in the Star Wars series, presents just such an "ideal of virtue," F ather O'Rourke o bserved. The film conveys the message that, ideally, a person will never react with anger to a situation. The message is misleading, the priest c ontinued, because without the "passion of anger, we'd never be able to fight evil." Balanced persons, Father O'Rourke corn-

mented, are not above h uman weakness. They recognise that "all are wounded and weak" but keep striving to overcome their limitations.

People at work in church ministries, to keep alert and fresh in their dealings with people, need to break their normal work routines occasionally, the priest thinks. He said ministers can run the risk of becoming overburdened with work. Then, succumbing to the pressures of their job, they don't take time for recreation, reading or exercise. As a result, says the health-care expert, f atigue can result, causing ministers to "become dull and tired out" and to lose their enthusiasm for working with people. Father O'Rourke coauthored a book with Father Benedict M. A shley, OP, titled Health Care Ethics, A Theological Analysis,

abandonment even within their families. He said that He had not come to bring peace but the sword. But there was another side to this teaching. Jesus told people not to worry unduly about certain things. He gave clear examples of the birds of the air cared for by God, and the flowers of the field clothed more gloriously than Solomon. Don't worry about these things, He said. It seems Jesus saw that there are aspects of life that do not r equire our concern, while others warrant our serious concern, even if it means living with some real stress In my parish, the par ents and I looked at our s ituations and asked: "Is this stress we're living with appropriate or is it a sign that we're doing something wro ng?" We decided that our stress was not out of l ine. Giving their children a Christian formation was worth worrying about. Providing quality ministry was what I was there for as pastor. We weren't looking for stressful lives, but if some measure of stress came as part of our vocations we would be prepared to accept it. And we would e xpect to find the strength to handle it. This is not to say that stress does not some times reach such proportions in our lives that we must seek help. Severe stress in our lives can't be treated lightly. What I am saying is that some stress is a normal byproduct of

our real — and correct — concerns. This view is not new in the Church. Over the centuries and even to our own day, bishops and teachers in the Church have been at pains to c larify those goals which are the most important. In our own times we h ave seen bishops speak out very forcefully in support of human rights Not long ago the US bishops published an extraordinary pastoral letter on nuclear arms. These stands have not been easy, or popular. They have placed the bishops and readers of their letter in a stressful situation. O nce again, this pointed out that following Christ can involve s tress as wel l as comfort

The process of working through a crisis is rarely as a -calm transition, write Drs Evelyn and James Whitehead in -Christian Life Patterns: The Psychological Challenges and Religious Invitations of A dult Life. - Critical transitions customarily cause -much ambivalence - in p eople. The authors suggest that ministering to a dults in crisis -will provide the support and challenge - to f ace and work through their confusion. (A 1982 Image p aperback.

A struggle by John Castelot As Jesus approached the climax of his career, He experienced a harrowing emotional struggle. We call it the Agony in the Garden. In the view of scholars, Mark apparently combined and edited two earlier interpretations of the event into the one we read in his Gospel. And Mark's editorial technique gives us a clue to his own special view of Jesus agony. Mark indicates how he wants the event to be understood by sandwiching it between a prediction and a notice about the prediction's f ulfilment First the prediction. Jesus said to the disciples, "Your faith in Me shall be shaken, for Scripture has it 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be dispersed. — (Mark 14:27) Second the prediction's fulfilment: The garden incident closes with the arrest of Jesus. We hear Him say: "But now, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled . . " Mark then adds. "With that, all deserted Him and fled." (14:50) It seems that for Mark, the central concern in Jesus' agony is the reaction and fate of "the sheep." the disciples. That helps us to understand something about Jesus' prayer that would otherwise be an enigma. He prays: "Abba, you have the power to do all things. Take this cup away from Me." What cup? There is a concern on the part of Jesus here that is often overlooked. Just suppose that He had been asking to be spared suffering and death and that His prayer had been answered. What would have happened to the redemption of humanity which, in God's plan, deepened precisely on Jesus' self sacrifice? He had acquiesced in this plan long before, and was actually eager to carry it out. "I have a baptism to receive. What anguish I feel till it is over." (Luke 1350) "My soul is troubled now, yet what should I say — Father, save Me from this hour? But it was for this that I came to this hour." (John 1 2:27) What was the dreaded cup? According to one interpretation, Mark's emphasis on the disciples' loss of faith and abandonment of Jesus, points to the answer. Jesus faced the prospect of losing what little He had to show for all His life's work, the little band of sleepy disciples. He was in agony over this. Mark stresses Jesus' inner conflict by having Him return three times to see if His little flock is still safe and with Him. In the process Jesus comes to realise that only by carrying out His Father's will can He win for this flock the strength to be faithful. The little flock obviously has no strength of its own. Its members cannot even stay awake. Eventually they run away. Resolutely, then, Jesus accepts His Father's will and goes calmly to meet His destiny. Like us. Jesus knew conflict and stress. He found the ultimate resolution in seeking and carrying out God's will, whatever the apparent cost. His acceptance was not one of dumb resignation but of courageous confidence, and it brought Him peace. P sychologists have devised many effective ways of dealing with stress, and they have much to recommend them. But along with these methods should go the basic attitude of Jesus, the attitude recommended by the psalmist: "Cast your care upon the Lord and He will support you." (Psalm 55:23)

Face up to test A vivid example of the effects of stress was seen when a 100-foot section of an interstate highway suddenly collapsed into a Connecticut riverbed. News of the event made a strong impact for me, for our family had driven over that very bridge a mere two weeks earlier on a New England vacation. Apparently, years of stress caused the bridge t o give way: the weight and movement of millions of vehicles, temperature changes, the deteriorating action of chemicals to remove winter's snow and ice. The human person is, of course, not a bridge or a machine. But people are subjected to pressures that sometimes seem relentless and that can yield distressing consequences. At such times they may feel that their lives are pulling a way from their proper foundations. A re there preventive measures we can take t o maintain ourselves under both the ordinary and the out -of -the -ordinary pressures that c ome our way? Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane, is an image of someone under stress. He is at a turning point in His ministry. His dilemma -- to fills Him with discover the will of the Father dread and covers Him in a drenching sweat. He senses His Father is urging Him to accept His destiny. In the garden, Jesus deals with stress by considering His alternatives and then making a choice. "Your will be done," He resolves. Jesus on the cross is also an image of an individual experiencing stress. He cries, "My God, why have You forsaken Me?" It is a scream, not necessarily of despair or anger, but of frustration. When uttered, it clears the air and opens a passage through the dead end of pain.

Compiled by NC NEWS SERVICE Not long ago a young friend contacted me unexpectedly. We had been out of touch for nearly two years. At firstIthought he simply wanted to bring me up to date on what he was doing. He did that, all right. But he also told me about his mother's decision to end her painful marriage with divorce. His own anxiety and pain were starkly apparent, weaving in and out of his comments about going abroad to study and going to graduate school. I've known that young man for a long time, plenty long enough to read between the lines, to see that the final breaking up of his parents was severely stressful for him. At a time when most students are eagerly planning their futures, his concern about his family was threatening to eclipse all his other concerns and interests. I realised that he needed someone to listen to him and that he had contacted me for whatever support I could give. He talked about how frightened he felt, e specially for his mother. Attending college a thousand miles from home, he felt somewhat out of touch and unable to support his mother adequately. Listening to my friend, I wondered how Icould help. I was reminded too that an unsettling event, like a divorce, causes a ripple effect. In the end, an entire

family can show the effects of the stress. Somewhat later I talked about stress with Celeste Kearney, a counsellor in communications and stress management. Ms Kearney pointed out that people need support when unpleasant "realities come crashing in." It takes considerable energy to — face and accept" altered family relationships, for example. The support of someone outside the situation is very healthy," she observed.

they need encouragement in doing so. Ms Kearney said that handling stress is a "balancing act." The danger is that people under stress will focus so intently on what is happening in one area that they neglect legitimate goals and responsibilities in other areas, she explained. The counsellor remarked that many persons raised in the Christian tradition are especially prone to " 'forget their own needs" in the eagerness to help someone they love cope with a problem. This can lead them to "ask too much of themselves" in an

Someone to lean on when life hurts The sympathetic listener — a dear friend, a fellow parishioner or a professional counsellor -- can help the individual deal with stress in constructive ways. By talking things over, the person under stress may begin to see things from a new perspective. Troubled persons want sympathetic support from others, of course. But Ms Kearney cautioned that others can't "do it all" for someone else. In most cases, she continued, "people want to carry their own crosses" and

effort to help, she a dded. That can become an additional source of stress. Ms Kearney believes that Christ "calls us to care for ourselves so we can give to others." She warns people against becoming an empty shell, so exhaust ed they have little to offer to anyone. She often advises people "to adopt self nourishing ways." This includes "doing things for oneself without feeling selfish" on a regular basis. During times of special stress, it often

helps too if people realise that others are going ahead with the tasks of their own lives. This can have a freeing e ffect, Ms Kearney thinks. In stressful situations, p eople sometimes begin to feel that they have little control over events, that "they have no choice" about the way their life is going, the counsellor said. To counteract this terrible feeling people may need to be reminded that they really "have a lot of choices." In counselling, therefore, Ms Kearney encourages people to exercise their ability to choose in little matters: taking a different route to work or walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Making choices, no matter how unimportant they may seem, reminds people they have options. And that can take away the "dehumanising feeling that others are controlling u s, — Ms Kearney remarked. It is one of the ways she encourages people to learn to manage the big and the little stresses in their

Then there was Mary. She dealt with the stress of learning she was to be the mother of God by questioning the angel in an assertive way: "How is this to be?" Hers was an altogether reasonable and courageous question under the circumstances. During the wedding feast of Cana, the family must have experienced a sense of stress at finding there was no more wine for the guests. It was then that they pleaded with Mary for help. She turned to Jesus. Finally, imagine the stress the disciples must have felt at first when they discovered they had to feed the multitude with five loaves and two fishes. Everybody experiences stress. We're asked to make difficult choices and we find ourselves o ccasionally near the end of our endurance, like Jesus in the garden. We are asked to a ccomplish things that seem to surpass our ability, like Mary. We need the help of others, like the family at Cana. Or, we sense that what we can do to solve some problem is meagre in the face of the challenge, like the disciples in the wilderness. How are we to see ourselves through stressful situations? The way these biblical figures reacted in the face of stress provides some hints. 1. Faced with choices, examine the alternatives and decide on a course of action. 2 . Don't be afraid to express frustration, to cry, for example. An instinctive response like that can clear the air. 3. Be assertive and ask questions in an eff ort to make certain what is required and to respond intelligently. Don't hesitate to ask help in solving 4. problems. Sometimes we just can't do it alone. 5. Make an effort to solve problems, even if the solution seems meagre. The effort could serve as the foundation for a more adequate response later on. These measures can help us maintain ourselves under stress. They are a kind of preventive maintenance helping us remain on a solid foundation.

As a school boy at CBC T errace and before, young Des Gibbs did not share the yearning of many of his contemporaries to become another Biggles and fly away into the wide blue yonder. But his ambition, for some reason he cannot now recollect, was certainly related to aviation. He wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. The misty focus of his e arly career planning sharpened and pointed in another direction during his enjoyable days in the s chool 's Air Training C orps flight in which he rose to the rank of cadet under -officer. When he won an ATC flying scholarship, the die was cast. His sights were lifted f rom considerations of ground -bound engineering to visions of wings on the breast and ascents into ethereal freedom. His first solo flight was one of the greatest thrills of his life, and his love of flying remained undiminished in the 24 years he practised the profession. His pilot training was set back for 12 months when he broke a leg at Uranquinty in a non-flying accident. He resumed it a t Point Cook and completed advanced training o n Vampire jets at Pearce, from which he graduated as a pilot officer in 1960. The first posting of Pilot -Officer Gibbs was to the fairly mundane duty of flying trainee navigators round the Victorian skies from East Sale in that great work -horse of the air, the Dakota ( 0C3 to you civilians). He did this for 18 months until a flying instructor's course at the same base initiated him into the role of mentor, a part he was to play for a considerable proportion of his air force career. He was an instructor at Pearce in 1963 then at the Central Flying School a t East Sale on Vampires. Winjeels and Dakotas, plus checking -out in operational units on Canberras, Mirages and helicopters. He completed a quick operational training unit on Canberras in 1968 before being sent to the United States to learn to fly the new glamour aircraft of the RAAF, the F111. T here, glamour in another form also awaited him. The F111 training was done at the US Air Force's Nellis base in Nevada which is not far from the mecca of gamblers, the sophisticated city of Las Vegas. Des and his compatriots were frequent visitors to that shrine of chance, but they departed sadder and wiser men. "I reckon we must have paid for building half the c asinos there," he laments. They also departed from the United States sadder and wiser men. They had to come back to Australia w ithout the Fills because a technical hitch with the aircraft caused their delivery date to be postponed. Des was sent to Amber ley in Queensland to fly Canberras as the instruc-

Desmond Howard Gibbs, AFC, who retired from the R AAF as a wing commander last year and is now state secretary of the Returned Services L eague, was born in Perth on May 1, 1936. A t CBC Terrace, where he was captain of the college and head prefect, he won a flying scholarship as a member of the school's Air Training Corps flight in which he w as a cadet under officer. Under the scholarship, he did his initial flying training at the old May' lands aerodrome. A fter having worked at the Town Planning D epartment for two years, he completed 50 more hours of flying t raining during six months of national service in the RAAF at P earce.

He joined the permanent RAAF in 1958 and was a member of the first officers-only pilot training course at Uranquinty in NSW which marked the inauguration of the present RAAF policy of all pilots holding commissions instead of some being sergeant-pilots as was previously the case. In his 24-year service D es flew the most advanced types of aircraft in the RAAF and spent considerable time as an instructor and in key staff positions. From 1979 he was the base squadron commanding officer of RAAF Pearce with the rank of w ing-commander until his retirement from the service in March last year to take up his present RSL position.

By BOB BOYLE Further training on the modified aircraft was carried out at the Nellis base and shake -down flying was done at Sacramento in California. Des made two delivery flights across the Pacific f errying the aircraft to A ustralia. "The Fill is a magical aircraft," he says.

Margaret's last thing The last thing in the world Margaret Talbot wanted was to receive an award for her work with the needy. In fact, she felt decidedly uncomfortable and on the point of refusing, when she was asked if she would be nominated for t he Australian Jaycees Five Outstanding Young Australians Awards 1983 For this quietly serious 26 -year -old woman, it took a time of prayer and deep thought before she decided while there was no way she could accept r ecognition for herself, she could certainly do it for God. -I never expected to win,- she said, "but I accepted the nomination because I believed it could stand as an example God exists in good works. "When I received the award I felt really joyful and uplifted. I felt God was using me to bring others to Him. "And I felt so nervous when I was interviewed on radio but I managed to get out, that if it wasn't for my faith and God I wouldn't be able to do good works...

homes, to no avail, she rang the Inglewood Home of Peace and made an appointment to talk to the matron about work as a nursing aide. -She said if someone left she could get me in and by July of that year, someone had, and I was working.

A t present rostered to the male ward, one of four wards in the home, she spends her day washing, showering, feeding and dressing the inmates. There are also cleaning duties to be completed so there's too little time for talking and loving. Her work is her life and she looks forward to each day. "It keeps my faith strong.- she says. It makes her angry to see the many patients who have few, if any visitors at all. For some. she says, holding a hand or just giving a smile is enough.

"It's putting my faith into action. "Mother Teresa appealed to me because she is at one with the poor. The members of her order don't live in a flashy convent, they live where the poor live." She knows too what it is to be poor. With eight children and her father employed as an electrical fitter there was rarely money to spare. "At one stage we lived in a condemned house in England and St Vincent de Paul came to help us,- she said. Things were hard for the family, she said, but their faith supported them then, as it does now Once a month she helps out at the refuge for homeless men run by St VdeP in Bronte Street. ."We go there to dish out the foods and admit the men who are looking for shelter. If there are beds to be made, we make them," she said.

While she admits to having had her fair share of 'wild times' in years past. she says, she has now reached a different stage in her life. She will admit it's a more serious stage and her brothers and sisters often can't understand why she is happy just to stay at home and read, reflect and pray, but says it is right for her. "I've just grown out of going to dances and thinking of myself," she said. "I read much more and I'm

She admits though there is still the odd time when she feels like 'being a bit crazy' and will accept an invitation to a party. She doesn't drink or smoke but says she has 'had a puff.
