Youhaveinadequate ideasoftheEucharist.It isbothaSacrificeanda Sacrament.AsaSacrifice, theconsecrationofboth elementsisnecessary;and fromthatpointofview whoevercelebrates the

Itistobenotedthatonly theApostles,futurecelebrantsoftheRite,werepresentattheLastSupper.As regardstheSacrament, Christbeingpresentinthe Eucharist,Heiswhollyand completelypresent,body, blood,soulanddivinity,undereitherform,whetherof thebread,orofthewine.
Whoeverreceivesoneor theotherreceivesboththe bodyandthebloodof Christ.ThusSt.Paulsays: "Whosovershalleatthis bread'or'drinkthechalice oftheLordunworthily,shall beguiltyofthebody'and' ofthebloodoftheLord." (ICor.11:27).
Youwillfindthosewords rightlytranslatedinyour ProtestantRevisedVersion oftheBible,notinthe AuthorisedVersion.From theveryearliesttimes, Christianswellunderstood thisteachingoftheNew Testament.
Thustheearlymartyrs wouldtakeaconsecrated Hostonlyintothearena withthem,togivethemselvesCommunionbefore theydied.Andtheyknew theywerereceivingboth thebodyandthebloodof OurLord.

Thatbookwaspublished in1946.Earlier,in1918, oneofthegreatestofAnglicantheologians,Dr.DarwellStone,wroteinthe Aprilissueofthe"English ChurchReview,"(p.168):
"Byfarthegreater amountofevidencesupportstheconclusionthatthe ordinarymethodofreservation(oftheEucharist)in theearlyChurchwasby reservingthespeciesof breadonly.
"Thisfactsuggeststhat theattitudetakenbythe EnglishChurchduringthe 16thcenturyconcerningthe receptionofCommunionin bothkindswasunbalanced andtoomuchinfluencedby reaction."

ForOurLordsaidexpresslytotheChurchin thepersonsoftheApostles whomHeendowedwith authority:"Whatsoeveryou shallbindonearthis boundalsoinheaven." Andagain:"Ifamanwill notheartheChurch,let himbeastheheathen."
Thirdly,fromthevery beginningbaptismwas administeredeitherbyimmersion,orbyaffusionor pouringwateronthehead ofthecandidate.

Thosetakingpartinthe ceremoniesincludedGeneralissimoFranciscoFranco, theSpanishChiefofState; ArchbishopIldebrandoAntoniutti,ApostolicNuncioto Spain,andtheArchbishops ofBurgos,Zaragoza,Valladolid,Granada,Valencia andOviedo.
BigCrowdHearsTalk
Thevastgatheringofthe faithfulwhocamefromall overSpainlistenedin silencetothetalkinwhich theHolyFatherdescribed IgnatiusLoyolaasasaint wholovedChristtoanutmostdegree.
ThePopeindicatedthat thecommemorationofthe fourthcentenaryofSt.Ignatius'deathduringthepast yearwaswhollyinaccord withwhathehadwanted.
Henotedthatayearago hehadwrittentotheGeneraloftheSocietyofJesus askingthattheIgnatian Yearfurnish"arealspirit ofinteriorrebirth."

"Notsatisfiedwithhavingservedherpersonally duringhislifetime,heleft behindhisbasicwork,his company,toperpetuatethat spiritofloveandservice andthatspiritofsacrifice inservingwhicharethe raisond'etreofthesociety anditsfundamentalcharacteristics."
TheHolyFatherthen stressedtheotheraspectof Loyola-thesanctitywhich passedfromgratitudeto loveofChrist,fromloveof ChristtoserviceofChrist, fromserviceandloveof Christtoloveandservice oftheChurchandhenceto unconditionalfilialadherencetotheRomanPontiff.

"Risingaboveallthedefectsandshadowswhich anyinstitutioncanincurat anygiventime,"thePopesaid,"Ignatiuswithhis headhighproclaimedhimselfasoldierattheservice oftheVicaroftheChurch, linkedhimselftohim,consecratinghislifeandallhis worktohim,andmakingof thisunionandsubmission theveryspiritofthelifeof

"Youhadoccasiontoadmireinthemnotonlytheir silenceandpeace,butalso thejoywithwhichtheysuffered-preciselybecause theprincipalcauseofinjusticewastheirattachment andsubmissiontotheVicar ofChrist."

Hehadgreatforesight, thePopestated,andwas rigidlystrictregarding principles.Healsohad understandingofhisfellow men,whomheimpressed morebyhismoralqualities thanbyhisintellectual ones,theHolyFatherwent on.
Hesaidalsothatthe Jesuitfounderreasonedobjectively,wascautiousand imbuedwithsupernatural confidence.
Itwasatthispointthat thePopecalledLoyola's loveofChristsointenseas tobeextreme.Inall,the Pontiffsaid,St.Ignatius wasmodest,humbleandinhissonswho,attheser-dissolublyunitedwithGod.

Beforethewar,thenumberofAsiansstudyingin Australiawasneverlarge, andveryfewpursuedtheir studiesbeyondtheLeavingCertificatestandard.
Theyusuallystayedwith relativesengagedinbusinesshere,andhadlittle contactwithAustralians exceptatschool.
Theofficialattitudeof ourcountrytowardsthem, anattitudemoreoftolerancethanofwelcome,did notencouragethemtoattractattentiontotheir presenceinourmidstor totaketheinitiativein cultivatingthefriendship ofAustralians.
Ontheotherside,most Australiansinthosedays hadnorealknowledgeof Asiaoritspeoples,and'n generaltheymaintainedan attitudeofreserveorindifferencetowardsAsian students,asstrangerswho waystheydidnotunderstandandwhosepaths rarelycrossedtheirown.
Onthewhole,therewas nounfriendliness,buta simpleabsenceoffriendship.
BasisOfReality
Afterthewarthispicturewasgreatlychanged. Foronething.manythousandsofAustraliansnow hadsomepersonalknowledgeofAsiancountries andAsianpeoples.
Foranother,theattainmentofindependenceby hugesectionsoftheAsian world,andthevigorous nationalismsthatunderstandablyemerged,awakenedAustralianofficialdom tothedutyofbuildingour internationalrelationsona basisofreality.
Meanwhile,inthenewbornAsianrepublics,faced astheynowwerewith staggeringtasksofadministrationanddevelopment, therearoseanunpredecenteddemandforeducation atalllevels,andthisdemandfarexceededthe capacityoftheirown schoolsanduniversities.
WorkInSydney
Sulltarcsomeofthe factowhichhavecontributedtothegreatincrease inthenumberofAsians cominghereforstudy,and tothegeneralawakening ofinterestintheirpresence andtheirproblems.
However,thechanged circumstancesinthispostwarperiodhavecalledfor agreatexpansionofthe Church'seffortsonbehalf ofAsianstudents,tokeep pacewiththeirgrowthin numbersandtomeetthe newproblemswhichare by-productsofthatgrowth.
Thisexpansionofthe Church'sworkforAsian studentshasbeenofspecial importanceintheArchdioceseofSydney,whorethe greatestnumberofthess studentsisconcentratel.
Bythebeginningof1954, HisEminenceCardinalGilroyhaddecidedthatthe workhadreachedsuch proportionsastorequire theappointmentofadiocesanchaplainforAsian students.
TherequestofHisEminenceforapriesttofill

Thetotalnumberof AsianstudentsintheCornmonwtalthatpresentis about3200.ManyAustraliansareundertheimpressionthatmostofthesestudentsarereceivingassistanceundertheColombo Planorotherscholarship schemes.

WhereAsiansAre
Distributionbetweenthe Statesisapproximatelyas follows:NewSouthWales, 1300;Victoria.1000; Queensland350;Western Australia.300;SouthAustralia,180;Tasmania,70; AustralianCapitalTerritory,20.
Ofthe1300AsianstudentsinNewSouthWales, about1200areintheArchdioceseofSydney.Thisis nearly40percentofthe Commonwealthtotal.
TheAsianracesrepresentedamongSydneystudentsareChinese(from China,HongKong,Singapore,Malaya,Indonesia, BritishBorneo,Fijiand NewGuinea),Indian(from India.Singapore,Malaya andFiji),Goan,Pakistani, Ceylonese,Burmese,Thai, Vietnamese,Filipino,Indonesian,Nepalese,Japanese andKorean.
TheChinesearebyfar thelargestracialgroup, representingoverthreefoerthsofthetotal.
Thestudiesinwhich Asiansareengagedcover thewholerangefromprimarytopost-graduate. Roughly40percentareat primary,secondaryortechnicalschools:50perrentat theUniversityofSydney ortheNewSouthWales UniversityofTechnology (mostlyinthefacultiesof medicine,dentistry,science, engineering,arts,economics andarchitecture);10per centatbusinessoraccountancycollegesortrainingasnursesorteachers ortechnicians.
