Q.:OurLord,attheLast Supper,setusapersonal example,andcommanded ustofollowit.

R.:Hecommandedusto partakeofbothHisbody andHisblood:butHedid notcommandthatwe shoulddosounderthe formsofboththebreadand ofthewine.

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

secratebothbreadandwine.

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.

"Byfarthegreater amountofevidencesupportstheconclusionthatthe ordinarymethodofreservation(oftheEucharist)in theearlyChurchwasby reservingthespeciesof breadonly.

R.:Firstly,thereisno certaintyastowhatwasthe preciseformofOurLord's baptismatthehandsof JohntheBaptist.TheGospelsstatethefactofthe baptism,withoutgoinginto detailsabouttheprocedure.

Howeverlikelyitmaybe thatitwasbycomplete immersion,itremainsno morethanlikely.Secondly, whereitisaquestionof regulatingChristianpractices,itiscertainthatwhat wearetofollowarenot our,ownjudgementsin suchmatters,butthedecisionsoftheChurch.

ForOurLordsaidexpresslytotheChurchin thepersonsoftheApostles whomHeendowedwith authority:"Whatsoeveryou shallbindonearthis boundalsoinheaven." Andagain:"Ifamanwill notheartheChurch,let himbeastheheathen."

Thirdly,fromthevery beginningbaptismwas administeredeitherbyimmersion,orbyaffusionor pouringwateronthehead ofthecandidate.

"Buttheprobabilitiesof thecase,onthedayof Pentecost,forexample,and intheprisonatPhilippi, descriptionsofbaptisms, andpictorialrepresentations intheCatacombsandelsewhere,combinetoshow thataffusionwasthenormalmethod."

HesaidSt.Ignatiusrose uptochampiontheChurch atanhourwhensomeof hermembersbrought"defectsandshadows"tothe divineinstitution.

ThePope'smessagewas broadcasttoanoverflow congregationassistingata SolemnPontificalMassofferedintheBasilicaofSt. IgnatiusbyHisEminence GiuseppeCardinalSiri, ArchbishopofGenoaand PapalLegatetothecereSswhichconcludedthe ianYear.

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."

"Itisonlyright,"hesaid, "thatthegreatSpanish fatherlandshouldshowaffectionforoneofitsmost glorioussons,thepersonificationofitsbestspiritand itshappiestdays."

Thesaintsarealwaysthe honouroftheChurch,the Popesaid.Amongthem,he added,noneisgreaterthan Ignatius,whobuilthis sanctityontheloveofGod, ofChristandtheChurch.

"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.

LoyaltyToPope

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

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

St.Ignatius'Qualities

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.

WhatCatholicsAreDoing ForAsiansStudyingHere

ThegeneralgrowthofinterestinthesubjectofAsianstudentsinAustraliadates onlyfromthepost-waryears.

ofwhom18werebaptised intheirhomecountriesand 27inAustralia. AnopportunityofmakingthepersonalacquaintanceofAsianstudentsis providedthroughtheAsian Student'sCentrenowbeingdevelopedatEpiphany House,Benboyd-roadand Phillips-street,NeutralBay.

Thisprojecthasbeen madepossiblebythegenerosityoftheSocietyofSt. VincentdePaul.Acourse oflecturesonreligionfor Asianstudentsisconducted thereonalternateSunday evenings,andattendance atthesegatheringsisa suitablewayofmeeting studentspersonally.

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.

Thetruthis,thatnine outof10areprivatestudents,whoarefinancedoftenatgreatsacrificebytheirfamiliesathome.

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.
