Touch of Tongan A visit to her Carmelite aunt in Samoa at the age of 18 has resulted in the first ever entry of a Tongan into an Australian Carmelite community. l'he following year Sesimani Topai approached the Samoan Carmel for entry but was recommended to apply to Nedlands.

Last week Sister Mary Joseph of the Sacred Heart made her final profession at Nedlands which had been founded by a sister (Mother (;abriel) of the foundress (Mother Anne of Jesus) of the Samoan Carmel, their other sister being also a foundation member.

Sister Mary Joseph is the fourth of eight children and her parents witnessed her final profession in the chapel which was decorated with Tongan motifs. A traditional

Tongan meal followed the ceremony.

Archbishop Foley said Sister Mary Joseph's profession was a reminder that God works in wonderful ways, bringing a gift from another place.

The call of Abraham to leave his country was about everyone's journey in faith through life, he said.

"In faith the Lord shows us different countries, different people and different times."

He said that whether people visited or passed by the Carmelite monastery it is a pointer to the mystery of the Church, the love of God in us.

He said the profession of Sister Mary Joseph was a sign to all of the commitment all are called to make.

BISHOP WARNS ON DESTRUCTION OF ENVIRONMENT

"Environmental degradation is threatening the existence of many r ural communities in Australia" Bishop William Brennan, Chairman of the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council (ACSJC) said today.

"Soil erosion, poisoning of the land through herbicides and soil salinity are threatening the livelihood of

many farmers.

"Those farmers are in a further bind because they are often forced to extract more from the soil to pay back crippling debts," Bishop Brennan said.

Bishop Brennan, Catholic Bishop of Wagga Wagga, a rural diocese in NSW, was speaking at the Launch of

the ACSJC Occasional Paper No 2.

The New Rainbow Serpent of Peace.

Justice and the Integrity of Creation.

"The Paper was authored by Fr Sean McDonagh SSC, a Columban missionary priest with over 20 years experience working in the Philippines," Bishop Brennan said.

"Environmental issues and con-

cerns have also been raised at the Catholic Bishops Inquiry into the Distribution of Wealth in Australia," Bishop Brennan said at the launch.

"This Occasional Paper will hopefully be informative and stimulate public discussion within the Church and wider community" Bishop Brennan added.

Jane Marron (formerly Campbell) holds her second child Chelsea Brie for her Ballajura baptism by Father legorow last Sunday watched by proud father Brett and godparents Anthony Campbell and Denise Marron. The Marrons moved from Nollamara to Ballajura some six months ago.

Your own Arcndiocesan Development Fund supplies the on-going demand for loan finance to build churches, presbyteries, schools and similar capital works throughout the Archdiocese of Perth.

Nine-month old Chelsea Brie Marron made history last Sunday when she became the first baptismal entry for the newly founded parish of Ballajura.

The ceremony took place during Mass in the Ballajura State School on IIlawarra Crescent where up to 240 people, two-thirds of them children attended the parish's only Mass so far.

This week the National Evangelisation Team of 12 young people, six Australians and six Americans, have been hosted by the parishioners while they visited some 25 per cent of the houses in the parish, discovering some 50 previously unknown families with Catholic members.

After the highly publicised Palm Sunday inaugural Mass in Rallajura's parkland.a similar outdoor Mass was held on ANZAC Day with a breakfast social afterwards.

The Peak View residents held a street party for their new resident Father Jegomw, organised

by Nikki Nankin and Rudy d'Cunha and 30 adults and droves of children descended on Charis House from the parish functions at present.

Crick's Office Furniture have donated desk, book shelves and chairs and lounge. Girrawheen parish has made a $10,000 donation to the new parish and North Reach Legion of Mary. under the leadership of Paul Smith has started visitation of the new area in which all land has been sold and new houses are opening every day.

An interim school board, under Wally Gargano, has been meeting since November to help with planning of a new Catholic primary school which is due to open in February 1990.

L II With an eye to the universal Church's forthcoming Pentecost, the church of Perth archdiocese this weekend sits in its own upper room, in the grounds of Santa Maria College, to catch the Breath of the Spirit blowing where it will.

The novelty of the event is a sufficient claim to some space in history. No such similar gathering of parish and other delegates has been attempted before in an effort to discern the directions in which the Church may be prompted to chart its future courses.

On the other hand, such an exercise is far from unique as the dust of Vatican II settles and new awareness of the changing Church emerges. Some half dozen Australian dioceses are in the process of similar discernment and r enewal. Purists will debate whether Canberra's diocesan synod later this year - the first in Australia since Vatican II - lifts the competition for results. A similar venture in England a decade ago is as memorable for what it appeared not to achieve as for the excitement and anticipation with which it was prepared and staged.

The late 20th century will be seen historically as a watershed of change as new processes of discernment and discovery become commonplace.

This is notable principally for the widespread involvement of lay people both in their parish and specialised apostolates One of the characteristics of the breakaway Reformation churches was the establishment of local government in parishes and many a Protestant spectator of this weekend's proces_s might well say 'Been There, Done That' (for four centuries!) and still no closer to the elusive key that unlocks the door of the late 20th century to what the Church has to say.

The novelty then aside of 600 delegates weekending together, Catholics nave it largely in their own hands to shape whether this and no doubt many such future happenings will be an effective process for listening to the Spirit, but also setting realistic and achievable goals.

If the clergy-only processes of the past are held responsible by some laity for the shortsightedness of the Church, what safeguards exist to save a small cross-section from speaking over-confidently for the 300,000 other Catholics not at the Assembly?

Pockets of the more committed and motivated parishioners have already shared many local hopes, as well as much still unresolved pain and disappointment. Beyond that pale are the other three quarters of the Catholic population who have virtually wiped the Church off as of any relevance to their daily lives, apart from queueing up to gain entry to a Catholic school.

The Attadale Assembly will have to by-pass the fatal What-If? syndrome that takes hold of too many people when asked their views. What IF, the Church were unbelievably to modity its stands on abortion, contraception, re-marriage etc . „? Would there be a surge turning back to the Church's ideal for marriage and family life? Would lifting the Sunday Mass obligation result in the churches being flooded by returning worshippers? The laws of penance have been modified; is there an outbreak of asceticism and self sactifice obvious in our ranks? We all dream fatuously a little.

The Assembly will be as effective as its humility, in the realisation that millions of our antecedents have struggled with the mystery of the Risen Lord and the Coming of the Spirit far more courageously and far more effectively than we may ever do.

On the other hand, the Assembly becomes a practical witness to the fact that the Church is ever new, right down to the newest convert who will be baptised in the parishes this weekend. For that person's Church it is only just beginning.

The Assembly will be effective it if is an answer to Jesus' prayer that all His followers be one as He and the Father are one. The Assembly must pray for those who are not present. Those who are far off must pray for the Assembly.

Jesus knew the risk He was taking in calling the Twelve. But His promise has not failed that He would send a Spirit to make all things clear.

Winning way?

GLASGOW (NC): The British government has been urged

by Glasgow's Cardinal Winning to impose sanctions on South Africa as a means to force that country to eliminate racial discrimination.

"Sustained sanctions against South Africa are the surest way of achieving a solution without bloodshed," Cardinal Winning said.

In South Africa "the majority black population is exploited by the minority whites", said the cardinal.

He urged Britain's minister for overseas development, Christopher Patten, to "relay this (message) to your government".

"We urge this not out of party political motives but out of solidarity with the oppressed, which is a demand of the Gospel," Cardinal Winning told Patten, who participated in

the ceremonies inaugurating the offices of the International Aid Fund.

Patten praised contributions made by the Scottish Catholic fund over the past 24 years in assisting development projects.

The fund supported 150 projects in Third World communities in 1988.

Cardinal Winning said the fund's purpose is no longer providing only charity. He called for efforts to analyse and understand the causes of injustice and poverty in the developing countries.

He said that frequently the root problem is that industrialised nations have structured the world economy to suit their interests at the expense of the poor countries.

Torn plagues' VATICAN CITY (NC): Archbishop John P. Foley, president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, said the council will issue a statement on the "plagues" of pornography and media violence.

Pornography and media violence "dam-

age the reputation of our communications profession" and "inflict grave harm on individuals and society", he said.

Pornography and violence in the media particularly are lamentable, the archbishop said, because

of "the exploitation especially of women and young people which occurs through these plagues."

The forthcoming document will suggest ways families and communicators can "counterpart these influences," he said.

first mooted abroad as an extraordinary exception, t he Bishop of Clifton cleared it with the nunciature as he didn't want anything to happen. And he was by the reassured nunciature."

Mons Buckley has written to Cardinal Fiume about the case.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had details on Mr McDonald for nearly three years but the decision to bar him from the priesthood came just three weeks before it was due to go ahead on the grounds that it was "contrary to the canonical discipline of the Church which excludes from the priesthood those who have previously contracted matrimony".

tr McDonald as a permanent deacon will continue with his work at the marriage tribunal office in Bristol.

He spoke to The Universe of his disappointment.

"The way I understand it is that Rome is making a distinction between convert clergy who married before and after their reception into the Catholic Church. but we are still married clergy.

"I don't know what has been going on. I think the reversal in Rome's decision coincided with the American bishops' visit.

"They were trying to make it as an argument for ordaining married priests and it caused Rome to rethink."

He said he is reluctant to admit any fault on the side of the English bishops.

Tragic violence must end: Pope VATICAN CITY (NC): The "tragic violence" in Northern Ireland must end, Pope John Paul II told ISO pilgrims from Derry, led

by Bishop Daly.

The pope asked "that those responsible on every side will recognise that the only path to true justice is the

path of reconciliation, dialogue and nonviolence."

The violence "has been so much a part of your lives over the past 20 years", he added.

The pope prayed that Northern Irish "children grow up in freedom without hatred in their hearts".

So touched by these two words VATICAN CITY: A Council of Churches delegation that included several women clergy were touched when the pope referred to them as "my sisters" during an audience but women's ordination was not on any

agenda.

The delegation of the Faith and Order Commissions of the World Council of Churches and the US Council of Churches said that they were received graciously

at a number of Vatican offices even though heads turned at a woman Episcopal priest wearing a collar.

The delegation was not entrusted to talk about women's ordination, said

a spokesperson, because Eastern churches are divided from other members on the issue.

When Rev Melanie May, a minister of the Church of The Brethren was presented to the

pope he asked why it was not called the Church of Sisters and Brothers.

Melanie said that she had heard the suggestion before but never expected to hear it from a pope.

Vatican reaches China

S HANGHAI, CHINA: The bishops of China's government -approved C atholic church said they are ready, 23 years after the fact, to begin reforms instituted by the Second Vatican Council.

The Chinese church — which dropped its links to the Vatican 30 years ago under government pressure and is only recently resuming public contact with foreign Catholics — is a preconciliar church, its officials acknowledge.

Bishop Joseph Zhong Huaide of Tsinan and Chowtsun, acting chairman of the Chinese bishops' conference, said the conference has established a commission to look into "liturgical

reforms."

The Chinese bishops say they are united in faith to world wide Catholicism, and thus open to the council teachings.

But seminary training in China is dated, by modern Catholic standards, the bishops said.

"We were isolated for about 25 years from the universal church," said Chinese-elected Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian of Shanghai. "Several priests don't even know of the existence of the Second Vatican Council" In the Sheshan regional seminary. which he directs, Bishop lin said, "We are teaching the doctrine of the (16th Tridentine century) council."

The Trent gathering defined Catholic teaching in the face of the Protestant Reformation, but skirted the issue of papal primacy because that was the subject of sharp debate within the church.

Vatican II is being introduced in the regional seminary, the bishop said, and two Chinese-language copies of the full Vatican II documents are available to the students.

Bishop Tu Shihua, director of the Chinese Catholic Institute of Philosophy and Theology — the national seminary — said his seminarians are being taught "the dogmatics of the church and (that now

includes) the Vatican Council."

Vatican II was "a world council and we regard it as very important," Bishop Tu said. "Its importance lies in the unity of the church."

Vatican II, which was called by Pope John )0CM Dec 25, 1961, and run until Dec 8, 1965, sent a ripple of change through most of the Roman Catholic world.

Its effects included Mass in the vernacular with increased participation by the congregation, a greater lay role in church activities, and a new level of dialogue with other religions.

It also called for religious freedom, saying governments should respect the religious life

Up and down VATICAN CITY: For the descent of the Holy Spirit to take place at Pentecost, it was necessary that Christ ascend into heaven, Pope John Paul said at a recent audience.

"There is a close connection between the elevation of Christ and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles," he said.

It was from that moment celebrated on the feast of Pentecost that the apostles became "witnesses of the reign without end," he added.

The apostles themselves saw the Ascension as closely tied to the Pentecost, the pope said. The words of St. Peter on Pentecost reveal the "conviction of the apostles that only

Protestants join Church with the Ascension 'did Jesus receive the Holy Spirit from the Father' to pour it forth as he promised."

This descent of the Spirit "transformed" the apostles into the Church and sent them forth, he said.

"The Ascension is therefore the conclusive event of the life and earthy mission of Christ," the pope explained. "Pentecost will be the first day of the lift and history 'of his body which is the Church."

Go on praying VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul ll asked continued prayers for vocations the day after the Vatican released figures showing priestly ordinations rose 7.6 per cent last year.

Vatican figures also showed a 3.3 per cent increase in seminarians and a 16.8 per cent increase in permanent deacons.

Prayers are needed "so

of citizens and neither require nor prohibit religious acts.

The Chinese Constitution allows freedom of belief, but the government limits religious activity.

In 1958, three years before the council began, Franciscan Father Bernardine Dong Guangqing of Hankow became the first Chinese prelate elected without Vatican approval and was autoexcommatically municated.

Since then more than 90 bishops of the government -approved church have been similarly elected. There were no Catholic delegates from the People's Republic of China at Vatican II — (NC).

that families, parishes and schools learn how to inspire and favour, in environments. their numerous vocations," he said.

The Vatican released the following figures for 1988: • 7251 priestly ordinations.

• 90,424 major seminarians.

• 14,650 permanent deacons.

Pope John Paul . . . "there is a close connection between the elevation of Christ and descent of the Holy Spirit."

STOCKHOLM: A Swedish Protestant community of women has corporately joined the Catholic Church.

The Daughters of Mary Lutheran community of Vadstena in the north of Sweden, consisting of nine sisters and a postulant, have joined a Benedictine abbey.

They hope in time to become a separate Benedictine priory.

In the recent past, three other Lutheran communities have been received into the Catholic Church in Sweden, which has fewer than 120,000 members.

Papal concern VATICAN CITY: A group of Indian bishops heard Pope John Paul's concern about abortion in India and other forms of violence.

He asked the bishops to have their priests and seminarians well trained in moral philosophy and medical ethics so that they can engage in interreligious dialogue on

human life issues.

The abortion of female babies is higher in India than that of males because of the alleged expense of raising daughters and because of the dowry system.

Amniocentesis (foetus scanning) is being used to discover the sex of unborn babies.

Pope backs those guidelines VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul is backing guidelines for diocesan priests in mission territories that note the main function of priests as the evangelisation of nonChristians.

He hopes the guidelines will be ready for the 1990 Synod of Bishops which will discuss the state of the world's clergy.

Bishops in mission territories have sent suggestions for the guidelines.

The pope wants the guidelines to emphasise the spiritual life of the diocesan priests and the need for a strong commitment to obedience, communion and cooperation.

The Vatican congregation preparing the guidelines says they are necessary because of the growing number of diocesan priests in areas that were formerly staffed principally by religious.

indicate Statistics 51,000 diocesan priests and 146,000 religious in mission lands which are calculated to be 38 per cent of the church's jurisdictions in the world.

Sisters of St Joseph The Sisters of St Joseph of The Apparition are about to celebrate a hundred years of service to Northam's community.

On May 1, 1889, a community of three, led by a French nun, Sister Columba Jordan, established a convent, in rented premises in Wellington Street, Northam.

The first pupils of St Joseph's School were enrolled the same year.

For aged, youth

Today's St Joseph Sisters in Northam are gathering heirloom mementoes of their century of service including a mannequin model of the habit they and their predecessors would once have worn.

During the 1890s, the Sisters moved into a newly built Convent across the street from where they rented.

There they remained until 1987, moving then to their present Convent in Chidlow Street, Northam.

In Northam today, three Sisters continue educational and pastoral work, begun in 1889, directed largely towards the needs of youth and the aged.

They will be joined for a weekend of celebrations (May 5-7) to mark the centenary by 24 other

Sisters who have served in Northam.

Among the activities planned are a school Mass and open day on Friday May 5, a mayoral reception and centenary dinner on May 6. Guests, some from interstate Archbishop include Foley, priests who have served in Northam, Sisters of St John of God, Marist Brothers, parliamentary and local dignitaries, ex-students and members of the Northam community.

The focal point of the centenary celebrations will be a Mass of Thanksgiving in St Joseph's Church, Northam at 11 am on Sunday May 7.

Archbishop Foley will preside at the Mass.

Following the Mass, the archbishop will unveil a commemorative stone, placed in front of the "Old Convent-.

Afterwards, guests and well wishers can relive old times as they mingle with the Sisters for a picnic day in the grounds of the Old Convent and Church.

A Centenary Booklet will be published to record the weekend of celebrations of the remarkable achievements by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition.

professional counsellor but Kalgoorlie town people realise that this could turn out to be a "mission impossible."

The Catholic Parish of Kalgoorlie/Boulder has already taken the initiative by setting up the Goldfields Centrecare but are without the most important link — a trained counsellor. to According Brother Barry Ward, the chairperson of a core group of 10 people, getting a counsellor to serve part-time or full-time would be a difficult task.

Anglicans "The advertised for such a person but had no response. We feel that we will face a similar setback if and when we advertise," he said.

He felt it might be an idea for his Catholic group and the Anglicans to pull their resources together and work as a team.

He has already sent out feelers to the Centrecare people in Perth.

The best the Perth agency could do for the time being, he said, was to provide a counsellor for short periods "once in a while."

Brother Ward said that in a "needs survey" conducted by 30 people, many were problems identified. workshop "The revealed a pressing need for help in many areas of social deprivation," he said.

The Goldfields Centrecare has since written to the appropriate body for Government funding and have been told to re-apply at a later date.

"I am hopeful that when we re-apply we will get the $45,000 we need," said Brother Ward.

Brother Ward said the aims of the Goldfields Centrecare were:

• To be a resource,

providing information to the community on the availability and nature of existing services.

• To increase general community awareness of the situations of neediness which exist in the Goldfields region.

• To offer a specific service based on the most urgent need currently perceived and contingent upon the resources presently available to us.

• To encourage suitable local people to undergo training for

help in particular areas.

• To seek access to financial assistance from the various levels of Government and from Diocesan funds.

• To identify and become familiar with, the particular needs of the underprivileged in the Goldfields region, and to establish a priority of action.

• To offer assistance to other groups workthe for ing underprivileged.

• To invite other concerned Christians to join us in striving to meet the particular the of needs underprivileged.

He said in light of the information gained from the needs survey, it was decided that the agency should seek firstly to provide a counselling service for families which would be specifically Christian in its aims, outlook and operation.

This would involve obtaining the services of a professional who counsellor

would be sympathetic to the values of Christianity and appreciative of the need for a spiritual dimension to such work.

In addition to this. a Parish support group for families in need would be established.

"The notion of friendship has helped me to recognise the challenge of parenting at this point in my life," writes H. Richard McCord, the father of a preadolescent son. Grafting friendship onto kinship is a way of creating a new bond between parent and child as children grow older, he says.

Grafting friendship to kinshi Can parents and children be friends?

Usually we think of choosing our friends and making a decision to develop a friendship.

Our children are a different matter altogether.

They are linked to us physically, psychologically, spiritually in a manner more radical and inseparable than any friend.

We can break off a friendship but once we have a child, it is impossible not to be in some kind of relationship with that person for as long as we live.

Still, though. the question plays on my mind, especially as my son moves from childhood to

his preadolescent \

r,.

sense that we are entering upon a new stage in our relationship, but only recently have I been able to spell out what is happening,. My flash of revelation occurred in and through a very ordinary circumstance.

I

It was time for Andrew's regular visit to the pediatrician. As far as my wife and I were concerned, it couldn't have come at a better moment.

We had been living through some trying times with Andrew. He seemed to lack motivation. generally was resistant to our pmmptinw and appeared to have few interests.

By H. Richard McCord What kind of child were we raising?

The pediatrician listened to our tale of distress. The he chatted w ith Andrew alone.

When we came back together he kindly but firmly put us straight.

Yes, our son had interests and exhibited motivation. Andrew had discussed these with him eagerly.

The problem seemed to be that he was inclined toward things which had little appeal for us. like comic books and wrestling.

Could we accept this?

Could we welcome the person Andrew was

becoming?

This incident marked a turning point in my understanding of parenthood.

Irealised that now I was being called upon to befriend my son as a person in his own right.

In earlier years I had pictured myself more as a nurturer and protector.

Iwas responsible totally for Andrew and he was dependent completely upon me.

I even had some notion of myself as a craftsman shaping. and maybe controlling, what he would become.

Now I n to see that

it was not only possible but absolutely necessary for us to forge a new kind of bond. Hereafter, if our r elationship was to mature, it would need to draw its vitality from cherishing the other's differences as well as from cultivating common interests.

That is a fact about friendship. A true friend stands by you but doesn't seek control. With a good friend you discover much in common but you also agree to disagree.

Friendship is a freeing experience.

All of a sudden the offquoted lines of the late Kahlil Gibran. a 20thcentury poet and novelist, came rushing over

me, "Your children ;ire not your children . .

And though they iire with you yet they bekrig not to you."

I began to see mere clearly that friendhip needs to be grafted silo kinship.

I would never cease to be a father, but now ny parenting could )e expressed in a rider way.

Jesus' words, uttered at a turning point in hisife, echoed within me, 110 longer call you slaves. . .

Ihave called you fries" (John 15:15).

Of course, it must :* acknowledged that t application of frienciskip to parenthood has ts limitations.

Andrew is still a di d.

He needs a measure of guidance and control. including discipline that would have no place in another friendship.

But I'm beginning to see that, without my friendship, even the most enlightened control is likely to be perceived as oppression, the opposite of the friendship which freedom brings.

The notion of friendship has helped me to recognise the challenge of parenting at this point in my life.

It involves accepting Andrew as a person distinct from me, building a level of trust and respect. making time for common pursuits and acknowledging the legitimacy of our different interests.

The time was filled with singing, dancing and general merriment.

On the occasion of his marriage feast, Samson proposed a riddle to the revellers. If they answered it before the week was up. he promised the winner some stunning new clothes.

If they failed to come up with the answer to the riddle, however, they had to award Samson the same prize.

There must have been many hearty laughs at the wild attempts to solve Samson's riddle. Such is the stuff of friendship — the sharing of simple pleasures (Judges 14:12).

Archaeological discoveries have cast some light on the family customs of the ancient Mideast.

By Father John Castelot Wall paintings from Egypt show little girls dancing or playing a singing game. and boys playing tug-of-war and other games. Many figurines unearthed in excavations have been identifled as dolls.

A little scene in Luke's Gospel is suggestive.

Jesus compares his unresponsive contemporaries to "children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, 'we played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sange a dirge, but you did not weep— (Luke 7:32).

Mention of the marketplace brings to mind its

modern counterpart, the mall, favourite gathering place of the young.

In Palestine itself, archaeologists have discovered game boards with their playing pieces.

Most of them are rectangular, divided into 20 or 30 squares, like our checkers or chess boards.

Some have a series of holes with pegs for playing pieces, like cribbage.

Some pieces were fascinating.

One game had 10 pegs of ivory, five with heads of dogs, five with heads of jackals — "hounds and jackals".

This set included a sort of truncated pyramid, with different numbers of holes on each plane.

If games were common, they must have formed

part of family recreation.

The family recreation.

The family that stayed together played together.

Many of Jesus' disciples were fishermen. Peter and Andrew, James and John not only were blood brothers. They shared a common interest and activity.

While theirs was a hard life, they must have chuckled over many stories — with much teasing — about this or that great fish that got away.

Family members enjoyed each other's company and revelled in shared experiences.

These are essential ingredients of the friendship that occurs at home.

They had fun together. and sometimes cried together.

The home has been created — and perhaps redecorated many times.

Children may be grown.

Now the question of how to be friends arises in a new way.

If friendship has a place in marriage, it is a friendship undergirded by a special commitment, an ongoing commitment. Which suggests, perhaps, that friendship is a good quality for marriage viewed in the long term.

paling in the divine word and work.

Our friendships can be signs of God's friendship for us.

What is unique about the friendship embedded in marriage is the extent to which we are known by one another.

In marriage, people see each other as they are, with all their foibles and strengths. Only the eye of God sees us more thoroughly.

Yet, having been seen, we are loved — by God and by spouse.

Jesus said that the greatest love was to lay down one's life for a friend.

That is what happens in marriage. It happens — in different ways and at different stages of a couple's life together — as they give each other heart and hope.

The idea of friendship playing a vital role at home may strike people as somewhat odd.

Family relationships, after all, fall into quite distinct categories: those between husband and wife and those between parent and child.

How does H. Richard McCord come to a new understanding of what friendship might mean between parent and child?

What are some of the Godlike qualities of friendship between husbands and wives that Leckey Dolores identifies?

What sort of friendship do you think the members of a home need with each other?

The unconditional love

Games people played The couples who had such long and happy lives together in the biblical stories must have lightened the burdens of life with laughter.

Surely they shared their own private jokes, teased and romped with their children.

Their sons and daughters, like all children, needed laughter and the healthy competition of games.

The Bible gives little, if any, direct information on what games they may have played.

Its interests are too adult, too serious for that.

But it does indicate that the people were lighthearted. fond of music and dance.

Wedding celebrations went on for a full week.

In ancient cultures w ives often were regarded as property.

Men sought friendship elsewhere.

But the Christian way offered new possibilities for the marriage relationship.

In Chapter 5 of the Epistle to the Ephesians, for example, both husband and wife are called upon to be subject to one another.

And in Pope John Paul H's recent meditation, On the Dignity and Vocation of Women, that Scripture passage was used to emphasise the inherent equality of men and women.

The pope rejected any Scriptural basis for subjugating women.

This equality of the sexes is essential in the special friendship that characterises marriage.

Yes, friendship.

In the early years of

marriage, the tasks of creating a home, finding suitable work or raising a family provide a common project for a couple.

And common projects often provide a means for the growth of friendship.

Mid-life challenges wives and husbands to deepen their friendship.

Dan Leary spends hours with his grandchildren, playing with a ball in the nearby park, recounting tales about the old days or just rolling around with the younger ones on the living room floor.

creativity, she says.

Debbie Landregan talks about unconditional love as the basis of close family relationships. She tells about the Leary family, who have tried to put this principle into practice with their large family.

Father John Castelot says that the Bible gives little direct information on how biblical people relaxed and enjoyed leisure time with each other.

But it does indicate that they were lighthearted and fond of music and dance, he says.

Pop-Pop, as his grandchildren call him, is doing more than babysitting.

He is passing on a legacy of love and friendship given to him by his mother.

"She raised 10 kids and she's the one who held them all together and had a lot of faith and showed them what it means to be brothers and sisters, says Maureen Leary Behinke, 34, the fourth of Dan and Pat Leary's five children.

"My dad just kind of

By Debbie Landregan inherited that all."

"He's just like my Grandmother Leary," agrees Patsy Leary Van Horn, 46, the Leary's oldest child.

"Even my kids' boyfriends and girlfriends call him Pop-Pop. They feel he's like their grandfather, too, beause he makes them feel that way."

Since his retirement eight years ago, Leary's life has centred around his family: Pat, his wife of 48 years, his five children, 18 grandchildren greatone and grandchild.

"We're so lucky," Leary says. "We're blessed because our grandchild-

ren are here, right around us within a couple of miles. One is away and we don't see him that often but we talk at least twice a week on the phone."

When it comes to passing out accolades, the Leary children give equal credit to their mother for the spirit which radiates from their parents' house, their home of 32 years.

"Everything in that home still focuses around my mum and dad," says Maureen.

"They are the anchor."

Friendship has been an part of the ntegral i r elationships among members of this family.

Pat and Dan Leary both

describe their relationship as one built on love and deep friendship.

"He's my best friend, my confidant," she says. "I can say anything to him."

The Leary children, too, regard their brothers and sisters as friends, the kind of friends they can call anytime to chat or just listen.

"My family's always there for each other, especially in the bad times," Patsy says. "You always have somebody to talk to no matter what, and they don't judge.

They're there just to help you carry the burden or whatever it is. And they're also there for the good times and the joy."

"We're loud and we're noisy and tease each other, but it's a lot of fun.

There's a lot of love there," says Maureen.

As parents, the Learys say they wanted to give their five children more than life's necessities.

They wanted to bring up a family whose members care for and share with each other.

Maureen and Patsy say they try to instil in their own children the sense of family that their parents passed on to them. "I think its important to always be there for other people, to do whatever you can to help them and just to love unconditionally," says Patsy, the mother of five.

"Unconditional love, no matter what," agrees Maureen, who has three children. "Over the years we've been through a lot of problems, individually and as a family, and that's what it comes down to."

Welcome the good, International lecturer, Father Justin Belitz, OFM, man of great mental ability and attendant dynamics, has returned to Perth to spread his wealth of self-help knowledge to as many people as possible.

Top lecturer is back in Perth to tell how people can help themselves

Over a period of several days in this beautiful city and climate which he believes is nothing less than "stunning!" he has spoken to Silva Graduates (he is an award winning lecturer of Silva Mind Development) on Human Survival and the Evolution of Human Consciousness (with his sub-title How to Stay Alive in the Rat Race); run a weekend workshop at the Octagon Theatre on Successful Relationships; breakfasted with youth group Charis: talked with the Course of Miracles people; visited Peace Be Still at Chittering, and generally 'walked and talked' to as many as possible.

This weekend Father Justin is running a retreat at the North Perth monastery on the theme Living the Prayer of

being is an extension of us, and if we are hating people, we are in fact hating ourselves "so this makes life our miserable."

Father Justin said the major issue that we have to deal with, is this major shift in perception. That is what we are being called to do at this point in history.

"The fundamental basis upon which Creation Spirituality (as instanced in the works of Matthew Fox) is set, is that we are united to God. We are not separated from God."

Father Justin is a man of deep thoughts from which flow meaningful words.

In effect, he knows what he's on about. And he believes we should bring out the best in ourselves by getting in touch with ourselves, letting go of the bad, and encouraging the good.

He said every human

We are one with God, and as such we have immediate access to all truth, knowledge, wisdom, peace. joy, and positive energy of every kind and are therefore in touch with unlimited energy. he said.

"I don't know how else a person can get in touch and stay in touch with the Divine reality, except through meditation. And I think that is where people at this point, are really moved."

Special outdoor Mass as LIVERPOOL: A special outdoor Mass w as hurriedly arranged for the 4000 people who couldn't gain entry to Liverpool's cathedral for the Requiem Mass for Hillsborough stadium victims.

Four thousand managed to pack the cathedral and another 2000 listened to an amplifier near the main entrance.

As the entire city went into mourning in the aftermath of the Hillsborough tragedy which left 95 dead and hundreds more injured, 10,000 people made an instinctive pilgrimage to the Metropolitan Cathedral

to share the heavy burden of mourning with their fellow men and women, and bare that same pain to God. Visibly moved by the numbers inside and outside the Cathedral, Archbishop Worlock greeted the worshippers as "you marvellous people who have come here instinctively to give this witness."

He said: "The tragedy of Hillsborough has brought the city of Liverpool to its knees, not in defeat but in prayer.

We have come here together to ask for God's mercy for our loved ones who have been last, and for the suffering families and friends left behind."

Archbishop Worlock told the grief-stricken but faithful thousands at Sunday's Requiem Mass: "The consolation that comes from this terrible disaster is that the dead are now safe with our God who loves each and every one of them more than any of us here on Earth ever could."

He said: "After two such moving readings (from Wisdom and John 14) from Holy Scripture, you won't need much sermonising from me. Even if you had the ears for it, I must confess that personally I wouldn't have the heart.

"Faced with such an overwhelming tragedy in which most of those who died are young people,

"Clearly there will have to be an enquiry into what went wrong, but not tonight.

"We all looked on in

anguish as arms reached out for help. and others to give help. Many owe their lives to the heroic commitment of others. mates and strangers alike. For those beyond human help, the Lord Himself reached down to lift them up to his own heavenly succour.

"This may seem fanciful language for a situation so hideous and desperate, but it is not pie-inthe-sky to say that God's care and love for each one of us is as real as his own rising again, which also enables us to entrust our dead to his own eternal loving care."

The Archbishop said there were no easy answers as to why Liverpool should suffer yet

again.

He said: "Liverpool is a place of great faith, and the faith of our people will not fail because our God will not fail us. It seems to me that the rest of the country and indeed the people of Europe are with us in these dark days, joining us in a chorus which ensures that we truly will never walk alone."

Messages of sympathy and prayer were received from the Pope, the Queen, and other dignitaries.

Earlier the procession had made its way to the central altar area, to football's adopted hymn Abide With Me. To the right of the altar was a red and yellow

Liverpool FC ban ner displaying the club's Liver Bird emblem.

The same banner was adorned with a scarf in the blue and white colours of the city's other big club, Everton.

All religious denominations in the city were represented in the Archbishop's Procession, and Anglican Bishop David Sheppard cut short a holiday in the Outer Hebrides to be flown back to Liverpool by RAF helicopter, arriving with just minutes to spare.

Liverpool's Jewish community was represented at the Cathedral and messages of sympathy were received from BradMoslem ford's community.

AIDS: Church committed to caring

L ONDON: The Church is committed to caring for all those who have contracted Aids and HIV, said Bishop Victor Guazzelli at a special Mass at Anointing organised

by Catholic Aids Link.

It was a second Mass aimed at bringing 10

sufferers more fully into the sacramental life of the Church.

In his homily, the Bishop said those affected by Aids and HIV can feel rejected and reviled by society at large, and this, in turn, can lead to them rejecting themselves.

He emphasised that no one should feel

themselves outside of the love of God, nor should anyone feel abandoned by the Church.

After the Mass, Bishop Guazzelli said: "Our concern is very much that we continue our deep tradition of caring for the sick, and the new kind of sickness that

by Greg Watts

is hitting us now is Aids and HIV." The Church must respond to this challenge, he said.

Fr Robin Houghton, one of the concelebrants, said: 'There is

a great need for more Masses like this. We are only scratching the surface here."

'This is the beginning and a good sign," said Fr John White, a Kilteegan Father attached to the London Lighthouse. a hospice for those with Aids and HIV. Martin Pendergast

of CAL said that he hoped that the special Mass might help those who have been a way from the Church from some time to see that the Church wasn't washing its hands of them but inviting them to take part more fully in its sacramental life.

"The Church's

response has been a long time coming, but it's getting there," he said. "We have a lot of priestly support for the work of CAL and Cardinal Hume has also been extremely supportive for a number of initiatives of ours. I think the Church is catching tip."

"They sold everything they had and spent the next 18 months travelling around telling people that AIDS need not be a terminal disease and if you changed your thought processes, you could indeed change the direction of the disease."

199 years of marriage between them

When eight Greenwood families decided to celebrate their 20 years of friendship, they tallied up that they shared 199 y ears marriage of between them.

The original bond arose from the fact that their 24 children had all attended the Majella school in

Balga before the families moved to Greenwood parish.

To mark the event Father Pat Ahern celebrated a special Mass during which the couples renewed their vows.

rILA to the Editor

Grudging stand. from Senator Michael TATE, Minister for Justice Canberra Sir, I find it extraordinary that the Catholic Social Welfare Commission should head its press release "Family still behind by 526 a week" (The Record, April 20).

How many families had disposable income generated by paid employment in the work-

force in 1983 as compared with 1989? Why don't you give weight to the number of households whose families are now supported by a paid worker.

It gives grudging recognition to the fact that families at the lowest end of the income scale, particularly larger families, do well out of the Statement. They are only

a minority, it says but I thought it was minorities on the margin for whom the Church was meant to have a special preference. Their constituency, however, seems to be a different socioeconomic group. At last we now know for whom the commission is a lobbyist.

I look forward to the report entitled "A fair Go for Families- In my

• •

opinion that would have been an appropriate title for this week's Statement but I would concede we don't have copyright on the title nor are we preserved free from error in judging how to achieve that "fair go".

But of course it's harder when you are elected to achieve reform in fact, as opposed to giving advice from the sidelines.

Betting his bottom dollar from Peter BERTOL4, Gairdner River Sir, Your editorial (The Record, April 6) on cyclonic youth problems inadvertently points to one fundamental lack of faith in the structural Church — the universal use of insurance (commercial that is).

I'll bet my bottom dollar that the vast majority of parishes and parishioners, are up to their ears in i nsurances. The way to solve all problems pres-

ent, past and future is to let insurance do it!

The same mentality r ules most personal activities. None want to stand on their own two feet. And, the theme is: Easy, soft love, or whatever. Order, ie discipline, is labelled as brutal.

Standing on your own feet begins in babyhood, right from when a baby begins to throw tantrums and starts to use up others by such small things as dropping an

object and not picking it up.

The car stealing epidemic is one of the inevitables of insurance and the non retributive treatment of offenders, ie no justice to the victim or society as a whole, who have to foot the bills Our society, regardless of rhetoric, is not practical: cars instead of bikes or walking, upmarket cars rather than the modest and economical;

houses

usually overoverserviced, unused rooms, mandatory ensuites, etc. (The result: homeless folk); kids (and grown ups) loaded with toys and unused gadgets, while others have no bread

sized,

There is literally no end; we are simply not practical, from the top down.

The examples are not being set. It is security insurance; we won't trust in the Lord, ourselves.

Grace, peace in Christ YOUTH OFFICE

FATHER PARKINSON 328 9878

Thirty-five young people f ound the gift of grace in Christ and in each other on a recent Charis weekend at Eagle's Nest, Gidgeganup.

Unique to WA, Charis was the brainchild of Sister Emilie Cattalini

and Father John Jegorow in early 1988.

Building on the former Choice program. Charis aims to provide young people aged 19-30 with a chance to come together and to grow stronger in their faith.

By Nana Howard

talks given by team members, who included a married couple and single young people.

My first Charis weeCommunication, truth, kend certainly fulfilled vision and life choices that aim!

The foundation for the were among the topics program is a series of covered, each talk followed by a thought provoking work sheet which went straight to the heart of each question, encouraging us to ponder our own belief systems and values.

A highlight of the weekend was the marriage talk given by parent couple Heather and John Wass.

They shared their feelings on being married, leading us deeper into the mystical sacrament of marriage.

In addition, Sister Emilie spoke powerfully on the religious life and its richness, and single Christian life was presented beautifully by Eloise Hicks.

We were given a rare and beautiful insight into the nobility of these

Christian vocations, and the grace of fulfillment God provides through each.

Included in the weekend were the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sunday Mass, both given new richness in the context of the Charis program.

Eagle's Nest was a perfect setting for the weekend, a piece of God's paradise nestling on the edge of Walyunga National Park.

Follow up meetings are now in progress on Thursday nights to keep new friendships alive, and to help further nurture our faith as young people living and growing together.

Charis helped us understand that we do not stand alone in our journey toward God. Information on the next Charis Weekend, on June 2-4. is available from Heather and John Wass. on 332-1069.

Venezuelan art

For the first time in WA, there is a showing of Venezuelan art at the Art Gallery of WA. Three Venezuelans in Two Dimensions exhibiting the work of three artists — Miguel Von Dangel, Ernesto Leon and Carlos Zerpa.

The exhibition which will be open to the public until May 28, features hot colours, rich textures and an exciting impression.

Venezeula's location has a lot to do with the work produced. situated as it is in the tropics, and extending from the warm waters of the Caribbean in the north of the dense forests of the Amazon basin in the south.

Von Dangel is inspired by wildlife and the ethnic Indians while Leon has produced a calligraphic reproduction describing tropical vegetation from his study of plants, palms and vines, which feature on his large panek portraying heat. atmosphere and growth.

Social issues and the cultural clashes of Venezuela is a recurring theme of Zerpa. graphically brought home with his use of blades, which comment on the violence and revolution in the history of America.

Mr John Stringer, Senior Curator of the Art Gallery, has worked extensively with both the Americas Society in New York and the Fundacion Eugenio Mendoz in Caracas, while Assistant Director of International Program at the

Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Mr Stringer said "What we want the local community to get out of this exhibition, is the excitement of seeing very quickly what is happening in Latin America.

"This is an exclusive for Perth because it may not be going to the Eastern States: we don't have to broker our information through them because we have the facilities to present the public immediately with the best of what is happening in their countries."

The use of colour, design. imagination with their enthusiasm and vitality, which is so Latin, is a real plus in an exhibition, he said.
