It discriminates against the pt'lor and minorities.

It "violates the ideal of human dignity, as the taking of life is moraHy unacceptable."

It is "irrevocable, foreclosing if facts later develop proving the innocence of the convicted."

Wednesday, March 26, has been set aside for the Mass of the Chrism. Traditionally this Mass was offered on Holy Thursday morning but to recognize its importance and make it more available to all, this year's Mass of the Chrism will be celebrated at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this Mass, the Bishop will concelebrate with as many priests as can conveniently journey to the cathedral. During the Mass, the Holy Oils will be consecrated and bishop and priests will rededicate their ministries to the good of the Church. The priests will take the newly consecrated Oils to their parishes following the Mass.

On Holy Thursday, March 27, the Mass of the Lord's Supper will be offered at 7 o'clock in the evening. With similar ceremonies scheduled at each parish that evening, fewer priests will be able to join the Bishop in concelebrating the commemoration of the Last Supper. . However, here too, Bishop Cronin will solemnly offer thanks for Christ's great gift of Himself that He gave to His disciples only hours before His death.

Good Friday Closing Ruled Illegal SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The California Court of Appeal said here that the closing of state oWces from noon to 3 P.M. on Good Friday is unconstitutional and that providing such hours for "worship" constitutes "excessive government entanglement with religion." 'f.he three sitting judges made the order effective immediately, and it therefore applies to Good Friday of this year, March 28.

In the past, state offices have been closed from noon to 3 P.M. on Good Friday and its employees were paid for time taken off from work during that period. This is pursuant to an annual proclamation by the governor that "Good Friday is a wholly religious day of solemn character," and that "the hours of 12:00 noon to 3:00 P.M. on said day have a religious significance."

The court said the proclamation recognizes Christian religions only, and that the state had extended no similar recognition to the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, or to holy days obs-erved by other non-Christian faiths.

Praises Example Of Slain Priest PENNS GRbVE (NC) - The tragic slaying of Father Thomas Quinlan might be the occasion for bringing to light the zealous work of a humble priest for the inspiration of the young and for the consolation of the old, Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia said here in New Jersey at a Mass of Christian Burial for the priest.

The priest, principal of St. James' Regional Grammar School, was killed by a gunman at the school.

Cardinal Krol said that, although one can only speculate on what God's plan might have been in the death of the 37-yearold priest, the brutal slaying focused public attention on the outstanding work by Father Quinlan ,and other humble and zealous priests whose achievements seldom receive the attention they deserve.

The cardinal, who pronounced the final absolution at the Mass -offered by Bishop George H. Guilfoyle of Camden-said that the role of a pr,iest-educator is not only the transmitting of ,information but a formation that had been so clearly lacking in the action of the killer.

Jesuit Superior Sure Pope Right On Fourth VOW

Present and Growing Danger Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia have relaxed liquor laws to allow persons under twenty-one years of age to buy some alcoholic beverages. Naturally, this has had repercussions.

Some experts say that the liberalization of the drinking laws has resulted in a reduction of drug consumption. But it has also caused teen-agers to join the ranks of those afflicted by the nation's Number One drug problemalcohol.

The Highway Traffic Safety Division took a nationwide survey that shows that fifty per cent of all high school students drink at least once a month and sixty-one per cent have been drunk. Perhaps someone may quarrel with the survey and with these figures but what has to come through loud and clear and frighteningly is this: there is more teenage drinking, there are more traffic accidents involving teenagers where drinking is a factor, drinking among teen-agers is an increasingly serious problem, and people are not showing the concern over it that they should.

The reaction of most people and especially parents is that their children are not on drugs so that is a big relief.

They fail to understand that increased drinking and as an ever-earlier age should cause great concern because the damage that comes from alcohol is demonstrable and serious. Broken bodies and broken marriages and broken lives have been spelling out the consequences of alcohol for many years now. Members of Alcoholics Anonymous could document eloquently, and some with the evidence of their own lives, the tragic results of drinking.

There must be concern about this present and growing danger.

Spiritual Maturity The New York Times chose a short while ago to devote an entire page to the response of Catholics, and especially young Catholic couples, to the Church's appeal for responsibility in making Lent a worthy one.

The couples spoke of the "old" Lent with legislated sacrifice and the "new" Lent with the urging that sacrifice and self-discipline coming from within. And all of the couples arrived at the conclusion that as mature and responsible Catholics they saw the value of sacrifice and made serious efforts to introduce these into their own lives and inspire them in the lives of their children, even the very young.

Indeed, there was a note of challenge with real planning called for to do housework, for example, and then participate in a Mass at a convenient time in one's local parish church.

The concept of doing without is seen most clearly as not only a deprivation of self for the strengthening of will but the opportunity to give to those in need the world over.

Prayer is the ~tmosphere that helps the truly religious person to keep from being choked by the concerns-many of them legitimate-of day-to-day living and to keep one's life constantly touching the spiritual values that keep in balance the whole person within himself and in relation to God. This is the kind of maturity that the Church keeps calling for in her children and it is encouraging to know that the call has been well understood and efforts made, not always successful but always being tried, to achieve this degree of responsibility.

1975 Guidelines Continued from Page One Holy Communion: In parishes of the Diocese, permission is granted for the distribution of Holy Communion under both Species at the Mass of the Lord's Supper and the Mass of the Resurrection celebrated In conjunction with the EastlJr Vigil Service.

For the distribution of Holy Communion under both Species, of the methods described in the General Instruction on the Roman Missal (Nos.240-252), it will doubtless prove pastorally most desirable, and most certain to preserve the appropriate decorum and piety, to use the method of intinction.

Chrism Mass It was also announced by the

Chancery that this year's Mass of Chrism will be celebrated on Wednesday afternoon, March 26, at 4 o'clock in the Cathedral.

During this Mass, the Most Reverend Bishop - surrounded by his priests-consecrates the Holy Oils that will be used in each parish for the next year for the administration of the Sacraments of Baptism, Confir-

Nuns Give Priests Cook;ng Lessons MUNICH, (NC) - Benedictine nuns of Bernied near here have announced special cooking courses for priests who must manage without the hd:p of housekeepers.

The announcement said, that the courses are planned to help priests learn "how to cook quickly, eat well and keep slender."

The lack of applicants for housekeeper jobs in Catholic and other rectories has been a problem for many pastors in Germany in recent years. The Sisters hope to remedy this situation by making the priests good cooks.

The first instructions are scheduled in May.

mation, Holy Orders and the Anointing of the Sick.

The special ceremonies, which stress the ministry of the priest, it was pointed out, are a most appropriate occasion for the Presbyterate to join with the Bishop in concelebration.

The Wednesday afternoon service has been especially chosen "in an effort to make the best possible accommodations to Lenten schedules and regular parish activities."

During this Feast of the Priesthood, both bishop and priests publicly rededicate themselves and their activities for the betterment of their people.

The Most Reverend Bishop will be the principal celebrant of the Chrism Mass.

Chaplains to the Most Reverend Bishop will be Rev. John R. FoIster, Associate Director of Social Service and Special Apostolates, and Rev. John J. Smith, Diocesan Director of Vocations.

Rev. Mr. Arnold Medeiros of St. John of God Parish, Somerset, will serve as deacon.

Mr. Stephen Fernandes, a diocesan seminarian, will be instituted into the Ministry of Acolyte during the Mass so as to even further accentuate the spirit of ministry that pervades all the rites of the Mass of Chrism.

Presenting the Oil of the Sick that will be used for the Anointing of the Sick Sacrament will be Rev. Edmund J. Fitzgerald, Chaplain of St. Anne's Hospital in Fall River.

The bearer of the Oil of Chrism will be Rev. Peter N. Graziano, Diocesan Director of Catholic Social Services and Special Apostolates, signifying the Oil used in the ministries of Confirmmation (lay apostolate) and Holy Orders (priesthood).

Rev. Michel Methot, Associate Director for Adult Education in the Diocesan Department of Education, will present the Oil of the Catechumens used in the rites of Baptism.

ROME (NC)-With the words, '-1 am sure that the Pope is right on this," the superior general of the Jesuits stated March 13 that his order has accepted Pope Paul VI's decision not to permit broader a{;cess to the fourth vow within the Society of Jesus as the final word of the subject.

Father Pedro Arrupe made the statement at a press conference at the Jesuit Generalate here following a three-month meeting of the society's general congregation, the highest lawmaking authority within the Jesuits.

For about a month tensions had been building between the general congregation and the Vatican over the congregation's desire that the special Jesuit vow of obedience to the Pope should be extended to more Jesuit priests and to Jesuit Brothers, thus eliminating a class system which, some say, has caused ten'sions within the order.

Pope Paul made his position clear several times during the congregation that extension of the fourth vow would go against the basic constitution of the order over which he is guardian.

"I am sure that the Pope is right in this," Father Arrupe answered when asked whether the Pope might have made a mistake on the subject or might have lacked the information to make a proper decision.

The superior general explained why the Jesuits had gone ahead with presenting to the Pope arguments on why they felt the fourth vow should be extended to more Jesuits, even after the Pope had expressed his will on the subject.

He said the society's founder, St. Ignatius Loyola, held that ,a Jesuit had the duty to present further arguments on a proposal rejected by a superior if he felt the superior lacked some information on the topic. But, Father Arrupe' added, the Jesuit must always accept in obedience the final decision of the superior.

Father Arrupe said that the Pope has the "authentic, authoritative and true charism" for interpreting what path the Jesuits should follow today in updating the order's original charter.

Father Arrupe also denied press rumors that he was planning to resign.

Catholic Periodical Circulation Rises NEW YORK (NC)-The total 'Circulation of Catholic newspapers and magazines in North America has risen for the first time in at least three years, according to the 1975 Catholic Press Directory published here.

Total circulation for the 436 newspapers and magazines in North America in 1974 was 23,492,737, up from 22,767,256 in 1973, and from 22,805,018 in 1972, according to the directory, which is published by the Catholic Press Association (CPA).

James A. Doyle, CPA exec'utive director, attributed the over-all increase to some increases in the circulation of established newspapers, to the introduction of several SpanishJanguage newspapers, and to sizable increase in the circulation of some established magazines.

Black and White Catholic Pastors Stress Equality Over Integration BAY ST. LOUIS (NC)-The moral issue of primary importance for Americans today is not integration, but human dignity and equality for all, according to a group of 30 black and white Catholic priests who met here.

They are pastors of mostly black parishes across the country.

Divine Word Father William Oliver, a spokesman for the priests, all of whom are members of the Society of the Divine Word, elaborated on their position: • "We find that integration, as it is practiced in many areas of our country, does not bring with it human dignity or equality. As T.E. Elliott has said, so we say, 'that there is no greater treason than to do the right thing for the wrong reason.'

"We find that unless racial issues are attacked on moral grounds, no progress can be made which will have any lasting value.

"As committed ministers of the Word and servants of the black people, we are convinced that to close black parishes and schools simply as a desegregation move is wrong. In many cases, the blacks, and especially the poor among them, are lost to the service of the Catholic Church."

Father Oliver went on to say: "The service to those who are poor and who are held in little

esteem is the true test of the Catholic .faith. To wish this service out of existence and to push it under the rug of integration is without Christian missionary merit.

Least Supported "Yet, in the past, outside of the religious communities so dedicated, the Catholic Church's service to black communities, particularly poor ones, has been little realized and least supported by the whole Church in this country.

"We further feel that the U. S. Catholic Church, because of the integration movement, has lost sight of its aims and goals in the black apostolate. It is confused, and so give even less support to blacks than ever before.

"As pastors, we are anxious about the identity, the dignity, the humanity, the Christianity, and above all the salvation of those we serve."

Father Oliver, a native of New Orleans, is director of Holy Rosary Institute for Boys in Lafayette, La., as well as district superior for Divine Word Missionaries in the Lafayette area.

He is one of the· I 78 black priest s in the U. S. Catholic Church.

The Society of the Divine Word has been responsible for training and ordaining over 40 per cent of the black Catholic clergy in the United States today.

Majority Thinks Court's Abortion Decision Mistake WASHINGTON (NC)-Nearly three-fourths of the U. S. population believe that Congress should take some action to correct the situation created by the 1973 U. S. Supreme Court decision striking down most state restrictions on abortion, a survey here indicated.

The findings of the survey were published by Robert N. Lynch, executive director of the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA), a non-profit corporation set up in January, 1974, to educate U. S. Catholics about the effects

of the Supreme Court decision and to promote interest in constitutional amendment to reverse that decision. ..

The survey was conducted by the NCHiLA by De Vries and Associates, a North Carolinabased poIling organization. The organization conducted interviews last fall with 4,004 per-

sons throughout the country.

"The most impressive finding of this study," Lynch said, "is that the Supreme Court's abortion decision was a mistake and want their elected representatives in Congress to take action to remedy it."

Asking respondents which course of action on abor.tion policy they might support if they were the U. S. Congressman from their area, the survey found that only 25.1 per cent agreed that Congress should do nothing and let the Supreme Court decision stand.

Catholic and Protestant Leaders Join in World Food Effort OTTAWA (NC)-Catholic and Protestant Church leaders are attempting together to make the Third World food crisis a gut issue at the parish level.

More than 100 lay and clerical delegates representing the Canadian Catholic Conference of bishops (CCC) and the Canadian Council of Churches recently resolved to work more closely with existing interfaith development agencies in mobilizing grass-roots concern about chronic starvation in developing nations and the "blasphemous" waste of farm land in Canada.

Catholic participation in the annual Churchperson's Seminar here was a direct followup to the Church's involvement in last year's World Food Conference in Rome and the United Nations-sponsored Population Conference in Bucharest, Rumania.

Spokesmen for the CCC's sccial action offices told NC News Service there is an urgent need for establishment of a popular power block to counteract the Canadian government's failure to undertake long-term projects to alleviate starvation and malnutrition in the less-developed countries.

Primary Cause Canada pledged at the Rome food conference to supply one million tons of food annuallv for the next three years. B~t Tony Clarke, acting director of the CCC's social affairs department, said this country failed to give leadership in reforming the economic structures of world market systems. He maintains that the market structures are the primary cause of world hunger.

Clarke asserted that lasting

solutions will not hinge on an increase of aid alone, but rather in the commitment by industrialized nations to guarantee just prices for exports and the en· couragement of developing nations to achieve higher degrees of self sufficiency.

"The problem stems from the fact that the First World (the Western industrialized nations) applies strong economic pressure . to these nations to specialize in the production of one or two raw materials, thus thwarting incentive for diversified and self sustaining agricultural ventures," he said.

Protest Against Abortion Clinic MONTCLAIR (NC) - About 500 demonstrators, some waving signs, temporarily snarled traffic on this community's main thoroughfare at noon on a Saturday shopping day (March l:l) as they passed in front of a store-front that is to become an abortion clinic.

The 500 were taking part in a brief protest arranged by Not In Montclair (NIM), a citizens' group originally organized a year ago to block the showing of pornographic movies in the community.

Before the demonstration, which concluded with a walk through the business district, participants attended a rally at the Wellmont "J1heater across the street.

At the rally, speakers criticize state officials for issuing a "certificate of need" for the clinic, questioned the purpose of the clinic, and vowed to oppose it in every way pd'isiblc..

"Thanks,Grampa!"

"Help me, Father?"

Before you get carried away with thoughts of fancy clothes and what the Bunny will bring, pause for a moment and think of the real meaning of Easter. It is a time for renewal, rebirth" and new hope. But for millions of the world's poor, there is little hope without the missionaries. These devoted men and women bring to the homeless and helpless of the world the food, medicines and shelter they so sorely need. But they fill an even greater need - the hunger for the Word of God. In this joyous and holy season, please reach into your hearts - and help.

Av·ers Mass Is Great-It's i

Getting There That's Hard

With Miss Hough as guest of honor, the Dorris S. Hough Cen· ter of Services for Plymouth Bay Girl Scout Council, at 140 Winthrop Street in Taunton, was formally dedicated on Girl Scout Sunday as the first permanent headquarters of the council.

People complain that they get nothing out of Mass. I get something ... forty-five minutes of relative peace and quiet. I enjoy being at Mass. I just hate getting there. There seems a basic agreement in our house. We concentrate the day's confusion into the hour She didn't come back. before Mass: Last Sunday ·1 started out the door to was typical. Two kids were check. Four kids were crawling marching with the school around in the garden on their

band in a parade. Another had gone back to college-minus his wallet, which he left us searching for. Company was coming for dinner.

Iy MARY CARSON And because my husband was short-handed at his office, he had tc;> work even though it was Sunday.

After assorted schedules were worked out, I was to take out' five daughters to 5:00 P.M. Mass . . . .the last Mass.

At four o'clock, I reminded them they should get ready, including the older ones getting the little one scrubbed and dressed.

No Keys At 4:15 I re-reminded them.

At 4:30 I started rounding them up. Exactly what happened in that past half hour, I'd rather not know. One was ready, two were' half-ready, two hadn't started at all.

I hustled them ... and we almost would have made it on time.

No car keys.

One of them remembered that one of our sons used the car last. The keys were probably in his pocket. He was out in the back yard.

I asked one of the girls to run and get the keys.

We were very short on time ... and there is nothing .that irritates me more than being late for Mass, especially when there is such a big parade of us, and it's impossible to slip in, unnoticed.

Calls Charismatics To Reconciliation CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin of Cincinnati called on men and women involved in the charismatic renewlll movement to "join with me in a ministry that is most important to the Church today-the ministry of reconciliation."

The charismatics filled St. Peter in Chains cathedral where the. archbishop celebrated Mass for them and preached the homily.

Archbishop Bernardin, who is also president of the National . Conference of Catholic Bishops, told the charismatics that the ministry of' reconciliation "is especially important for our local Church,"

I don't know if she asked him to throw the keys to her ... or if he didn't want to walk over ...

But, he tossed the keys. And she missed.

They hit a tree, the key chain burst ... scattering the car keys someplace in a heavy growth of pachysandra ... which was full of dead leaves from last fall.

If you get grace for going to Mass ... do you get any for not murdering your kids on the way?

My patience was strained to the breaking point.

Joy! One of them found a key ... to the back door.

By now, Mass had started.

I began hunting for a spare set of keys. They apparently went back to college, in place of the wallet.

It was difficult to find joy in the wallet which was found ...

More crawling through the garden. I anticipated that Mass was already through the readings.

Success again ... the key to the trunk of the car.

Maybe the priest would talk a long time. It was the last Mass so there was nothing pushing him to get the crowd out fast.

St. Anthony must have felt I was beating on him.

At last, the ignition key.

I find it difficult to participate in the spirit of love and community of the Mass when all I can think of is "How in God's name did they manage to do that right before Mass!"

Fortunately Father did' talk for a while ... and it gave me a few minutes to calm down.

I love Mass. But getting there is not half the fun.

Asserts Reconciliation Highest Gospel Priority ST. PETERSBURG BEACH (NC)-"Reconciliation is of the highest Gospel priority," Father Reid C. Mayo, president of the National Federation of Priests' Councils (NFPC), told more than 200 priest-delegates at the NFPC annual convention here.

The priests, representing diocesan and Religious priests' councils from 45 states, were meeting to discuss "Reconciliation: Risks and Possibilities."

In his opening address calling the priests together, Father Mayo challenged them to "personally open wide our arms to the embrace of our -loving Father, through whom we are able to forgive and be forgiven."

He warned them against the "natural human tendency" to see their own view of the world as "the best and reasonable way" to resolve the tension and disagreements that permeate the religious and secular life of Catholics.

Area Gi rI Scouts Hold Dedication Of New Center

GOLDEN JUBILARIAN: Sister Mary Loretta Love, D.P., longtime m~mber of Dominican Academy faculty, Fall River, marks golden jubilee in religious life this month. Born in Atlanta, Ga., she is an alumna of Catholic University. In addition to teaching 24 years at Dominican Academy, she taught at S1. Peter's School, Plattsburgh, N.Y. from 1947 to 1972 and during that time also served as school principal for four years and superior of S1. Dominic's Convent for three years.

First NUln Recipient Mundelein College President Awarded Notre Dame's Laetare Medal NOTR!E DAME (NC)-Sister Ann Ida Gannon, president of Mundelein College in Chicago, has been awarded the Laetare Medal, the University of Notre Dame's highest honor, and becomes the first nun to be so honored, the university's president announced.

"In selecting a distinguished educator such as Sister Ann Ida," the president, Holy Cross Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, said, "We honm a woman whose professional aabievement has gone hand-in-hand with her religious commitment and whose life ,has exemplified the service of women to society and to the Church."

A member of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary since 1932, Sister Gannon received her bachelor's degree from Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, her master's degree in English from Loyola University (Chicago), and her doctorate in philosophy from St. Louis University.

She taught in Chicago's St. Mary's High School before joining Mundelein's department of philosophy as chairman in 1951. She assumed the presidency of the college six years later and announced her resignation, effective in June, last month.

Sister Gannon, 60, is a native of Chicago.

Mundelein's president served as chairman of the American Council on Education last year and headed the Association of American Colleges in 1972.

Active in extending the role of women in society, she served

on the President's Task Force on Women's Rights and Responsibilities in 1969 as well as on the Illinois Commission on the Status of Women. She is the first woman elected a member of the Northern l11inois Gas Co. board of directors and is a trustee of Millikin and St. Louis Universities.

At Mundelein, she began new continuing' education programs to serve the needs of older women, and the college now reaches working adults through its innovative Weekend College in Residence. Under her administration, Mundelein built a $4.5 million learning resource center, two dormitories, and a student center.

She has been awarded honorary degrees from 10 institutions, including some under Catholic, Protestant and Jewish auspices.

Miss Hough· shared her memories of the beginnings of Girl Scouting in this area when Miss Emma R. Hall and she were "captain" and "lieutenant" of the first Girl Scout troop in New Bedford in 1912. The board room at the new building is named in memory of Miss Hall. She spoke of Miss Hall as "a wonderful, enthusiastic person to work with" and described the visits of Mrs. Juliette Low, founder of Girl Scouting in America as "a perfect joy." "I hope all your girls enjoy Scouting and last as long as 1 have," Miss Hough remarked. Noting that over 36 million women have been Girl Scouts in this country since 1912, Miss Hough said that there are now 91 member countries in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and "how Mrs. Low would have loved that."

Other speakers included Mrs. Gerrit Sanford, Council President; Mrs. Dorothy E. McCarthy, execijtive director; and Mrs .

Charles Smith of Shelton, Conn., representing the Board of Directors of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. Rev. Thomas Mayhew of St. Joseph's Church, North Dighton and a member of the council's board of directors, officiated at the dedication which included a candle-lighting ceremony led by Robin Borges of -Fall River Senior troop 1005, president of the council·wide Senior Planning Board. Eight Girl Scouts, representing the girl members in the eight areas of the council, assisted.

Rabbi I. David Oler of Ahavath Torah Congregation in Stoughton gave the invocation after the first presentation of flags in the building. Girl Scouts participating in this and the candle-lighting ceremony were: Pamela Harding of Mattapoisett, Linda Scott of Duxbury, Elizabeth Place of Taunton, Stacey Ethier of Easton, Deborah Hathaway of South Attleboro, Carol Cusick of Swansea, Phyllis Lake of Wareham and Melissa Lane of Dennisport.

Rev. David Lord of Pilgrim Congregational Church in Taunton offered the benediction.

Rock Garden Countd:own Has One Month to Go

Fall River Teams Will P路orticipate In BostlOn Meet

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick One more month. It seems hard to believe as I sit here writing this column that in one month the rock garden will be showing signs of life and the garden as a whole will begin its slow process of flowering. Over the past few years we have been developing our rock garden bit by bit and al- area I am surprised to find a small sedum 10 feet or so away though we have not invested from its mother plant. How it a great deal of money in it, rooted so far from the original it gives us much pleasure, mainly from the little piants that are not startling or eye-catching, but which the rockgardener is aware of and which are pleasing to him.

The sedums and sempervirums fall into this category. There are literally hundreds of varieties of what we called hens and chickens when I was a boy, and they are not difficult to come by.

Their method of growth is curious although their flowers are for the most part not very distinctive.

Leave Them Alone The dozen or so varieties I have grown well in the garden in crevices between rocks, are in sandy soil, and require no special care after planting. In fact, I f>uspect that they 'like to be left alone. They form little rosettes which eventually break away from the mother plant and form new plants. My oldest sedurns, three or four years old, have each developed three or four additional plants, while the originals have grown each year into larger and larger mats in the rock garden.

Each Spring as t clean up this

HlOnor M'emory Of Liturgist WASHINGTON (NC)-A small group of prominent liturgists and liturgical students attending the Catholic University of America gathered here Feb. 28 to acknowledge the outstanding catechet'ical liturgical contribution of the late Jesuit Father Josef Andreas Jungmann, who died in Innsbruck, Austria, Jan. 26.

The evening of open discussion by the liturgists recalled how Father Jungmann had revolutionized catechetics when in 1936 he boldly challenged seminary theology as incapable of conveying the Gospel message in all its simplicity and directness. He called for a "Kerygmatic " theology, a historical and Christ-centered theology that would nourish the faith.

Such a theology was quite distinct from the overspecu.Jative, defensive and polemical theology that would nourish the faith.

Such a theology was quite distinct from the overspeculative, defensive and polemical theology of the 1930s.

In 1939, when the theological faculty at Innsbruck was abolished after the Nazi takeover of Austria, Father Jungmann set to work on his monumental book "The Mass of the Roman Rite."

Today the two-volume work remains the most authoritative and complete work on the history and growth of the liturgy of the Roman Mass. Its influence was strong among those who initiated the liturgical reforms. of the Second Vatican Council.

I have no idea, but new plants are to be found in various places in the garden.

As I have grown the sedums and sempervirums, I have grown more and more interested in them. They add a touch of wonder to the garden.

In The Kitchen Right at this moment everyone is in need of a good dose of spring. As I'm typing this the remains 路of a fairly heavy March snowfall stm covers the ground and any crocuses that have sent their shoots up are covered once more by Mother Nature's blanket.

Snowsto'rms are rather fun in December and even into January and February because they offer a change of pace from our daily routine, but by March we arc tired of scraping windshields.

Every year about this time many people I know, including some. members of my own family, bemoan the fact that they don't live in a warmer climate.

However, I always have the feeling that a few days of nice spring weather will bring them back into the fold of New England lovers. For who can appreciate a New England spring more than someone who has gone through a New England winter?

Joe and my father-in-law have already planted their seeds, and the sprouts are just peeping up out of the flats, a clear indication that spring is truly on its way.

We used this recipe this week at our house and while it didn't get raves from the younger members of the family, the adults gave it an A. Shrimp Tetrazzini 8 ounces thin spaghetti 2 Tablespoons margarine 1 medium onion, chopped 8 ounces cleaned, deveined shrimp 6 ounces sliced mushrooms % cup real mayonnaise 14 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups milk 1/~ cup sherry 12 cup grated Parmesan cheese (my children objected to the parmesan) 1) Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

2) In a large skillet melt the margarine over low heat, add onion 'and saute until tender.

Stir in shrimp and mushrooms.

Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, remove from skillet.

3) Mix together the mayon,naise, flour and salt in skillet.

Gradually stir in the milk and sherry. Bring to boil, stirring constantly and boil 1 minute.

Toss with drained spaghetti.

4) Layer spaghetti mixture and mushroom mixture in a 112 quart casserole. Sprinkle cheese over top; cover and bake in 350 oven 30 minutes or until heated. (Don't overcook or it will dry out.)

Priests Asked to Keep Out 'Of PoHtics VATICAN CITY (NC) - The permanent council of the Portuguese Bishops' Conference has asked priests in Portugal to abstain from party politics and not to become candidates for any party in forthcoming national elections, according to Vatican Radio.

In a broadcast Feb. 28, Vatican Radio said the document was distributed Feb. 26.

According to the broadcast, the bishops said: "The attitude of priests is considered to be indicative of the Church's attitude. The Church cannot make choices between factions, but must remain a place of meeting, of concord and of unity of all who want to call themselves brothers, beyond the differences and struggles of political parties."

Live Beatitudes on Parish Level, Apostolic Delegate Jadot Urges ST. PAUL (oNC) -

The apstol-

ic delegate in the United States

urged here that the Go'spel Beatitudes be lived on the parish level so that youth may be inspired to fulfill Jesus' precept of love by following religious vocations.

In an address to the Serra Seminary Symposium at St. Paul Seminary, Archbishop Jean Jadot said: "Since the parish is the Church in miniature, each parish should easily be identified as a living witness that the Gospel of Christ is the hope of the world. In every 'parish there are hungry to be fed, naked to be clothed, sick to be visited, lonely to be comforted, and homeless to be sheltered.

"There are also countless men and women seeking light, searching for a way to free themselves from selfishness and sin, aspiring to meet God, to have Jesus as a friend, to obey the Holy Spirit stirring in their consciousness.

"If the Beatitudes are not lived on a parish level, is it strange that the idealism of our youth in the Church is crushed and that many seek another instrument, most often in the secular forum, whereby they can fulfill the Lord's precept of love?"

The apostolic delegate pointed out also that the "social justice dimension of a Church community requires a spiritual dynamism as its foundation." He suggested improving the quality of "our eucharistic celebrations on Sundays," and providing for the young "in evenings of prayer," in "times of retreat," and in "personal spiritual guidance."

"How fortunate are the youth of a parish who build their strength upon deeply spiritual motivation in their service of mankind," Archbishop Jadot said. "An equally impressive sign to the young is fraternal unity among parishioners," he added, noting that Pope Paul's Apostolic Exhortation on Reconciliation within the Church said the Lord

Boston College Law School to Move NEWTON (NC)-Boston College Law School, a division of one of the largest Jesuit universities in the nation, will soon have what might be described as a "change of venue."

Jesuit Father J. Donald Monan; university president,' announced at a meeting of the board of trustees that the law school will be moved to the campus of Newton College of the Sacred Heart, a' 40-acre estate with 15 buHdings acquired last June by Boston College.

Father Monan explained that the 20-year-old structure now occupied by the law school could no longer contain its current enrollment of nearly 800 and a llibrary ,that has accumulated more than 100,000 volumes.

When the law school move is completed, all of the university's schools and colleges will be located here in Newton.

Boston College took over the Newton College, formerly operated by the Religious of the Sacred Heart as an institution for women,

"makes reconciliation between us the condition for being forgiven by the Father and mutual charity the condition for being recognized as disCiples."

'They Challeng"e Us' Pointing out the good qualities of today's youth, the 63year-old Belgian-born apostolic delegate, the first non-Italian to hold that post in this country, noted that Pope Paul had described young people as "sincere, reflective and generous" and as showing "in a wonderful way the need for the supernatural which animates them."

Because of new educational processes and mass communications, Archibishop Jadot said, "Young people today are as fa. miliar with many of life's problems as the oldest among us.

True, they still lack the wisdom that can be gained only through years of experience and years of living.

"Yet today's youth are far removed from the socio-economic ignorance of earlier times. They recognized and deplore the imbalance between legal freedom and economic slavery; between superior education and parthetic ignorance; between abundant wealth and dire poverty.

"They have not turned their backs on life. They have challenged us, in large measure, to vivify the principles of social vivify the principles of social and international justice. Through personal involvement, many of them seek to heal the wounds of mankind."

A Seder meal will be celebrated at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 26 at La Salette Shrine cafeteria, Attleboro. All are invited, but it is requested that reservations be made by caIling the shrine, telephone 222-5410.

Rev. Bernard 'Baris, M.S., host for the meal, explains that "Seder" is a Hebrew word meaning "order of proceeding" and refers to the order of rites and actions within the paschal meal, similar in most respects to the Last Supper shared by Jesus with his apostles.

Highlighting the La Salette Seder menu will be a whole roasted lamb. Herbs, wines and unleavened breads will be prepared in much the same way as in the time of Christ. Of special significance will be "charoseth," a paste of ground nuts, apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins and wine, representing the clay from which man was created.

Sin The big moment is not when a man sins but when a man surrenders to the direction of his sin.

ST. PETERSBURG BEACH (NC)-Uelegates at the annual National Federation of Priests' Councils (NFPC) convention here voted to support the United Farm Workers' boycott of Gallo wine and to oppose coverage for induced abortion in any national health insurance bill.

'In one of the shortest "resolution" sessions in the NFPC's history the delegates considered only three resolutions. The third, de.aling路 with a constitutional amendment to change the numbers of convention delegates from local priests' councils, was defeated almost unanimously.

The first resolution, on the question of a national health insurance bill, urged all member councils of the NFPC to contact their Congressmen to express support for a national health insuranj::e bill, provided that such a bill:

fuse to participate in sterilizations or abortions; and Provide "no coverage for induced abortion."

Gallo Boycott The resolution endorsing support of the boycott of Gallo wines was passed only after a strong vote amending it to delete language that asked the priests to boycott all distributors of Gallo products.

Several delegates raised serious objections that their councils disagreed with the idea of a secondary boycott, which involves the boycott not only of a product but also of any distributor who markets the product.

The debate also had its lighter moments, as a delegate from Iowa pointed out the hardships a distributor would have on is his fellow priests in Iowa,' where the sole distributor of all alcoholic beverages is the state.

French Seminary Enrollment Up

'

PARIS (NC) - For the first time in 11 years, the number of men entering French seminaries and other systems of training for the priesthood has increased over the previous year's total, according to a report issued by France's National Center for Vocation.

In 1974, according to the report, there were 194 new entrants. The previous year, only 151 men entered.

From 1963 to 1973, the number of men studying for the priesthood in France had dropped 83 per cent.

The number of men leaving before ordination also decreased from 422 in 1973 to 205 last year.

The figures do not include enrollments at novitiates and houses of study for Religious orders.

There are two broadly different systems for training men for the priesthood in France: at centers of formation which have given a new style to traditional seminary, and in "formation groups," which train priestly candidates on secular campuses or within a factory or a rural worker environment.

In 1974, 1,318 men were enrolled in the seminary-style formation centers. The university formation groups included 118 men, while worker formation groups had 73 aspirants to the priesthood.

Seeks Renewa I Of Universal Church Unity SAN DIEGO (NC)-There are two things which the prior general of the Order of St. Augustine would like to see. They are renewal of the universal unity of the Catholic Church and a renewed emphasis on the "religious family" of Augustinians.

Father Theodore V. Tack, the second American prior general in the centuries-long history of the Augustinians, is also the youngest "for the last few cen· turies" of the order, being 44 when he was elected three years ago.

"We are becoming too provincial, too isolationist, too local in mentality," he said in an interview. "This is a real problem in the Church, that we tend to lose the universality of the Church."

He said that as he goes to the various Augustinian houses around the world he tries "to make our people more aware that we are a universal frater· nity and that we are giving witness of the possibility in our own day and age of a fraternity based on Christ's call for the unity He wants in the Church itself."

He recalled that St. Augustine called his community a "minichurch" and today "we are trying to be an example of what can happen if we really try to answer Christ's challenges today."

The prior general was in San Diego visiting an area where his brother priests are in education and parish work.

"Missionary activity in the order is not as strong today as it used to be," he said. "Perhaps it stems from a misunderstanding of what Vatican II said when it told us to get to know our own people better.

"But the Church is still calling for; the workers to go out to other nations and this need is very great," he added.

Included among areas where Augustinian missionaries serve, he named the Philippines, Indonesia, Peru, Zaire and various parts of Asia.

Explains Purpose Of Catechetica I Directory ANAHEIM (NC) - "Reconciliation of our Catholic past with our turbulent American present" is the Holy Year task of American Catholics, Archbishop John F. Whealon of Hartford, Conn., declared here.

The archbishop, chairman of the U. S. Bishops' Committee on Heligous Education, addressed the first general assembly of the Religious Education Congress in Anaheim Convention Center.

The past decade, he said, "has been something like an earthquake-tremor and shock after shock and then reconstruction.

Please God, the shocks are over; the reconstruction now begins."

Archbishop Whealon said he was convinced Vatican Council II had little to do with the confusion of the past decade.

"I am convinced that we were all caught up in a massive cultural and sociological change that -during the '60s swept across the entire Western world."

The ecclesiastical an-d liturgical changes of Vatican Council 11, he said, "were mainly housekeeping details." Many Catholics, however, "were attacked by contagious uncertainty about the permanence of spiritual values that formerly were taken for granted," he added.

'Great Tas...â&#x20AC;˘ The time has come "to pick up the pieces and reconstruct a faith and practice and catechesis that hold the essentials and combine the best of the past with the best of the present."

This reconciliation, Archbishop Whealon said, "is the great task of that document which we are all writing, the National Catechetical Directory."

The National Catechetical Directory will include directives and guidelines for the teaching of religion to Ca::holics in the United States. It is being drawn up in consultation with bishops, priests, Religious and laity throughout the country.

During the past decade "There has been, broadly speaking, a stress on methodology and the teaching of attitudes to the neglect of content," he said. But "a child needs a center of confident understanding and a set of personal unyielding values," he noted.

He singled out four such values: the value of each person, of human life; the value of Jesus Christ our personal Lord; the value of the Roman Catholic Church; the value of personal prayer. .

These values, he said, "are one bishop's expectations of the National Catechetical Directory."

Jesuit Obedience Gratifies Pope VATICAN CITY (NCY'-Pope Paul VI expressed satisfaction to the Jesuit general congregation in the final hours of its threemonth long meeting at its acceptance of his refusal to permit changes regarding the society's special fourth vow of obedience to the Pope.

Pope Paul's Latin message was handed to the Jesuit superior general, Father Pedro Arrupe, in an audience with him and the four top Jesuit assistants March 7. A Jesuit spokesman emphasized that the meeting was very friendly.

In the message the Pope also told - the Jesuits to move ahead in reform and renewal, but to do so in line with the norms of the Gospel and of the Society of Jesus itself. According to the Pope, the Society of Jesus "must FEEHAN BLOODMOBILE: Students and faculty at Feehan High School.

Doctor to Emigrate to Ireland In Protest Against Abortion CHICAGO (NC)-A Chicagoarea doctor, the son of Irish immigrantS', is going to emigrate with his wife and five of their 14 children to Ireland on St. Patrick's Day rather than pay federal income taxes which might, in part, help pay for abortions.

The physician, Dr. John S. Kelly, 53, whose children range in age from nine to 29, said that paying taxes to finance abortions is "like paying somebody to kill a person."

'Kelly said he has withheld some of the local property taxes he pays on his home in suburban Chicago Heights for the last two years because thatamount was the "amount I figured went to finance the voluntary abortion program at Cook County Hospital." Withholding the tax money, he said, "was the

only way I could refuse to take part in abortions," He said local authorities notified him that if he did not pay the delinquent taxes, his property would be sold. One of his sons is going to complete the sale of the property after the doctor's departure.

UN Honors Mother Teresa

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Mar. 20, 1975

Modifies Original Reaction To Barnet-Muller View

ROME (NC) - In tribute to Mother Teresa's "exemplary love and concern for the hungry and the poorest of the poor," the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has struck a Ceres medal honoring the worldwide work of the Calcutta-based nun.

FAO's Ceres medals honor living women who have worked toward the goal adopted by FAO of "food for all." (Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture.)

In the February 10 release of this column I took issue with those who say that the American labor movement has lost its sense of militancy and has settled for the status quo.

To illustrate the point I was trying to make, I specifically criticized the following statement from a new book by Muller send me a letter summarizing their objections to my coleconomist Richard J. Barnet umn and promised in fairness to and Ronald E. Muller: "Since them, t() reprint the letter ver-

batim in the current release of The Yardstick. The letter reads as follows: "We were surprised to read your attack on a paragraph from our book "Global Reach: The Power of the Multinational Corporations," because you give the impression that the book and its authors are anti-labor. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. A basic thesis of the book is that organized labor is the essentional compo· nent of any program for control of the multinational corporation or economic reform. The book documents with numerous case studies and statistics, that the rise of the global corporation is seriously undermining the bargaining power of organized labor and that this is having a disastrous effect on working men and women in the United States. The decline of real wages, the worsening income distribution picture, and the rising rate of unemployment are, we point out, diIrectly related to the radkal transformation of the economy now being brought about by the global corporation.

Proceeds from the sale of bronze, bronze-gilt, silver and gold editions of the medal will go to further the work of Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded 25 years ago. The order works in 17 countries with- the world's poorest.

The medal bears on one side an image of Mother Teresa as sculptured by British artist Michael Rizzello. The obverse pictures an undernourished child about to be embraced by two outstretched arms. Above the child are written the FAO motto, "Food for All," and "Holy Year 1975."

The Cross: Reconciling Price of Life

By MARY MAHER I recall vividly an experience that happened to me the summer I spent in the Rio Valley in Texas. Charley and Betty Landrum, a marvelous Methodist couple from Wichita, and I worked to· gether doing odd jobs. One day as Charley and I were cleaning in the small h-ealth center that the United Farm Workers had begun we saw a beautiful young Chicano woman walking up the street. She carried her five-dayold child who had been born in their small home and who was at that moment very ill, rasping for afro She too was exhausted from the long walk in the heat of over 100 degrees. The child was quickly referred to a doctor via phone and Charley and I drove this poignant 20th-century madonna and child to the hospital. We went to the emergency room and what I used to believe was press overstatement occurred before our eyes and ears.

The receptionist asked if the woman had the $50 deposit necessary before any treatment could be given. Call it order, necessity. policy or whatever, that child's life was worth $50 at that moment within tl)at setting.

How much is one life really worth? The flippant expression goes "Life is cheap." Evel Knieval apparently believed that it was expensive; $3 million. We have just come through a media bloodbath a la Godfather where life was contingent upon money that gave tribal security. Marcus

Welby exerts much effort to sustain one life. Abortion clinics avoid the question by reducing it to th-e biological realm. Some men cling to it by narrow threads on psychiatric wards.

Others subtly reject it through boredom. We take it without long-range concern for rehabilitation .when we enforce capital punishment.

Man's Worth What is one life worth? What measuring stick can we apply to such a mystery? Every other living thing can be given an economic price tag somewhere. A pedigreed dog or a cow, desert plant or bird is worth something.

But what is man worth?

The cost of one man's life is the price of every man's worth.

Jesus' life is what my life or any life is worth. My worth is measurable on the scale of the cross.

The cross is, on the literal level, two beams of wood attached for the former purpose of punishment. As such it is not highly symbolic; it is an indices of the violence with whicb man responds to those who differ from him through behavior or belief.

At the Christian, moral level it signals man's freedom from the victimhood of his own errors. It is a cleansing agent, a hope in man's innate fight against his own propensity to idolize self.

At the moral level it is a triumph over the behavior and attitudes toward darkness and sin that exist in each man.

Private, Public Eucharistic Worship Would you be troubled, bored, relieved or pleased to learn that a new Vatican decree eliminates, among other things, the both knees, double genuflection before the exposed Blessed Sacrament?

By

Q.

FR. JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN

How about a Roman directive whicb calls for only four-six candies on the altar for exposition of the sacred Host in the monstrance instead of the traditional candelabra with its 12-14 tapers?

These are relatively minor regulations in a recently issued document, "Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass." We discussed that text last week, examining its view of the relationship between private prayer to the Blessed Sacrament reserved and public eucharistic worship.

The ritual says in summary: Private or public prayer before the Blessed Sacrament outside of Mass is ~ood in itself and a pos-

itive development within the Church. However, "when the faithful honor Christ present in the sacrament, they should remember that this presence is derived from the sacrifice and is directed toward sacramental and spiritual communion". (80).

Those simplified and minor revisions (one knee, not both, foursix candles instead of 12-14) are examples of the reformed rite's practical attempts to preserve a proper perspective in this area.

Other Revi.sions -Location of the tabernacle.

"A place of some beauty should be chosen for the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament. It should be suitable for private prayer so that the habit of paying visits to the Blessed Sacrament may be encouraged. This will be easier if the Blessed Sacrament chapel is separated from the main body of the church, especially where marriages or funerals are a frequent occurrence or where the church is crowded with pilgrims or visitors attracted by its works of art or its antiquity." (9).

Prayer -Value of prayer before the tabernacle. "Prayer before Christ the Lord sacramentally present extends the union with Christ which the faithful have reached in Communion. It renews the Turn to Page Fourteen

Reconciliation Through Passion and Death.

By WILLIAM E. MAY Sin cuts us from God, our fellow men and ourselves. We exist in a state of enmity and hostility and experience terrible frustration. And all because of our sinfulness, our rejection of the life that God wills to share with us and with our fellow "images" of God. We need help.

We need a love that will heal our wounds, bring us peace, and reconcile us to God, to one another and to ourselves.

The wonderful God who created us IS our helper. In the work of reconciliation God Himself takes the initiative. "Everything," Paul tells us, "comes from God who reconciles us to Himself through Christ" (2 Co. 5:18). God, who is love itself, sent us His own Son, to be com· pletely one with us, to share perfectly our humanity, so that we, his created "words," could become, through union with Jesus, one with Him. Jesus' passion and death were no accident. Although He trembled before the thought of His passion and death (In. 12:27)and how human. how like us, He was in this!-and although He pleaded with His Father to kee"J Him from death (In. 12:27), in the end He accepted this cup of bitterness and was, as Paul again tells us, "obedient to death, even death on a cross" (Phil. 2:8). Jesus did not long for His agonizing death for its own sake, for He was no masochist, no hater of life, but simply because He wanted to show us how deeply He and His Father love us and to make it possible for us to share in His own act of reconciling love. We do this by being willing to love, willing to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily in order to follow Him (cf. Lk. 9:23-24).

"FOLLY OF THE CROSS": "Although he pleaded with His Father to keep him from death; in the end He accepted this cup of bitterness and was, as Paul again tells us, obedient to'death, even death on a cross." A 14th-century ivory carving from England's Victoria and Albert Museum shows a submissive Christ, dying for love of mankind.

"Folly of the Cross" In Jesus' suffering and death we discover the glad tidings of our salvation, the "folly of the cross," the wisdom of God that a sinful world deems stupidity.

We have, in the reconciling love Of God made manifest in the suffering and dying Jesus, the paradoxical and divine wisdom of the Gospel. Too frequently, is seems, we are disappointed in

reading the Gospels because we do not find tbere what many of us would desperately like to have: a rational explanation of the suffering, agony, pain, frustration and yes, death that is the common lot of mankind.

Like Job we complain of the suf· fering and evil visited upon us.

And if we look to the Gospels we look in vain for a lucid answer to this mystery.

But if we look more closely at the Gospels we discover that Jesus, by perfectly sharing in our humanity, by completely identi. fying Himself with us in our human condition, has placed unmore clearly the generous good- ion with Himself within the ness of God and His work of reach of everyone.

-Highlighting the Blessed Sacrament. "The presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle should be marked by a canopy or some other approved architectural feature." (11). In our day and country, the use of suitable Iighfing seems one of the more effective methods to achieve this goal.

Exposition -Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is for prayer, not for benediction. "Shorter expositions of the Eucharist are to be arranged in such a way that the blessing with the Eucharist is preceded by a suitable period for readings of the Word of God, songs, prayers and sufficient time for silent prayer.

"Exposition which is held exclusively for the giving of benediction is prohibited." (89).

Devotions -Eucharistic devotions should be related to the liturgy. "In the arrangement of devotional services of this kind, the liturgical sessions should be taken into account. Devotions should be in harmony with the sacred liturgy in some sense, take their origin from the liturgy, and lead people back to the liturgy." (79).

-Hosts for the people should be consecrated at the Mass it· self. normally not taken from the tabernacle. "The Eucharist is a celebration and to receive Communion during Mass makes the celebration more genuine. At the level of signs this truth can be better appreciated when priest and people share the elements which have just been offered in sacrifice. It should be normal practice at every Eucharist to consecrate bread which has been specially prepared for the people's Communion." (13).

This is not a new directive, but one issued years ago. However, its implementation on the local level throughout the United States leaves much to be desired.

-Dignity of real presence.

"His presence as God and man in the sacrament of the Eucharist is without parallel elsewhere: He is wholly and completely present. This is not to deny that Christ is genuinely present in other ways too, but we describe this as the real presence because it is ~h~ most personal." (6).

He learned the answer by living the question. He endured death; He accepted the non-escapable suffering, and He emergeQ from it more alive. By going through suffering and death, He experienced resurrection.

As a catechist, I have found that the most appropriate response to the why question is silence and, at least in some cases, prayer. Eventually, I must honestly acknowledge my own inability to comprehend the mys· tery of suffering either in my own life or in the lives of those I love. But I cannot stop there.

It is not enough. Something else about suffering must be acknowlledged, something many of us vaguely sense.

Answer: Jesus It is this. When you ask people to reflect with you on the times of greatest growth in the lives of each of us, together you uncover an extraordinary truth.

Those times of greatest growth, those times when we found we weren't fragile infants, tend also to be the times of greatest suffering. They were the times of crisis, when we felt we couldn't endure any more, but somehow came out on the other side stronger or wiser or somehow more whole. We went through a sort of death and came out more alive.

Although there is 'no simple answer to the dilemma of human passion and death, these resurrection events in the lives of each of us give us a clue to the salvific possibilities of .suffering. These possibilities were revealed to Christians most clearly in the resurrection of Jesus.

The evidence of resurrection in our own experience helps us to understand the meaning of Jesus' own resurrection. And it helps us to open ourselves to the mystery of suffering, without demanding neat, clear-cut answers.

Without taking back any of the above reflections, 1 know that the next time the "Why" question comes up in an adult learning group, my stomach will churn and tense. And all over again I will prepare to face those human dilemmas, with only one answer, the one that for me is "Jesus."

Vatican Emissary's Visit Pleases Reds VATICAN CITY (NC)-The Czechoslovak Communist party organ Rude Pravo sees the recent visit to Prague of Archbishop Agostino Casaroli, secre· tary of the Vatican's Council for the Church's Public Affairs, as "an important step toward improvement of relations."

Vatican Radio reported March 6 that the Communist (organ added that Archbishop Casaroli's three-day visit, which ended Feb. 26, was also a step "toward full normalization of relations between Czechoslovakia and the Vatican."

Vatican Radio said Rude Pravda',s remarks, made March 4, endorsed a statement made Feb. 28 .by the Slovak Communist party newspaper Pravda. Pravda . said: "The talks, which took place in an open, realistic and positive spirit, were judged useful by both parties, and they reaffirmed a desire to continue them."

It is also true that the cross hung on Jesus." Jesus overpowers the cross while hanging on it in this Albrecht Durer woodcut. NC Photo.

The Cross: Reconciling Price of Life Continued from Page Thirteen Expression of Worth But morel At the level of value, the cross is a tender expression of how much man is worth. It stands as testimonial to how far God went in his affirmation of man. In Jesus, man remaIns priceless by any category less than his infinite value as Son of the Father. The cross was not simply an external element that Jesus hung on to reaffirm man's dignity.

It is also true that the cross hung on Jesus. Man's worth has long been made a cross, subjected kinds of subtle death of devaluation. He is taught to demean himself, to fear his drive to feel compassion. He is reduced through the many small Gulag Archipelago's of business or industry. He is often courted as a technological object.

Yet he is sustained by the support given when he hangs these burdens on Jesus. Yet more than 'sustained-he is again known as good by the highest authority we have on man: God! Helpful and Vulgar So many people wear crosses these days-you find them for sale at airports or drug stores.

It is for me both helpful and vulgar to see so many of them.

It gives me hope that man, myself included, is getting clearer footing on Christianity's great call: the good news about man's goodness. It also strikes me as vulgar to see so many wear crosses when to understand its meaning is both beautiful and terrifying. It involves for many saints and mystics a dark n'ight that yields unto light. It is not, or ever, a "cheap grace," to use Bonhoeffer's term. I would be more convinced of this new commercialism that surrounds the cross if the people who sell them in local stores are paid a just wage. Perhaps they are.

There is a time when every symbol needs to be reacce,ted, reconfirmed, even replaced in one's life. We need to be rconciled with the traditional symbols which express our faith.

This reconciliation with such basic signs as the cross will necessarily be a form of conversion to fuller faith. The cross does not seem to allow us to know Jesus at the price of a reconciliation without justice for our brothers.

The cost of understanding the cross may well be our willingness to look at the price of life with the eyes of justice.

Heads Committee WASHINGTON (NC)-Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York has been named chairman of the Ad ,Hoc Committee for Pro-Life ,Activities of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops i(NCCB).

Love, we say, reconciles and heals. And there is a living link between love and the willingness to suffer and die. No friendship can long endure unless there is a readiness to put aside one's own legitimate claims for the sake of the other's needs. No enmities can be put to rest unless there is a willingness to forgive and to open one's heart to the other, trusting and loving that other despite the hurt that he has caused. This by no means implies that we are to be door· mats, but it does mean that we must be ready, as is our loving God, to empty ourselves and to give ourselves away completely in love, even at the price of suffering.

At times in our lives everything seems to go awry. Friends abandon us, our families reject us, and all our hopes seem to turn to bitter ashes in our mouths. But we ought never abandon hope. The suffering and dying Jesus abides as proof that "neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from ·the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39). And our task is to image that Jesus in our own lives and thus to share with Him in the saving act of God.

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS IN THE DIOCESE

Veteran Hoop Performers Dominate All- Star Teams

The old adage "to the victor goes the spoils" can readily be applied to this year's editions of the various scholastic schoolboy all-star teams. In all area leagues, the teams are dominated by members from the championship clubs. likewise, the "dream teams" are by the coaches in their comprised, for the most part, chosen respective circuits. Each coach of veteran senior ballplayers. nominates his all-stars from The selection of an all-star among the teams his school has team is difficult. Controversy often rt:sults wht:n the team is selected by an individual. But, there is no question that individual recognition should be given to those players who have performed admirably throughout the season. In order to prevent some -of the problems that have arisen in the past, most leagues now have a written format to be followed when selecting an alI-star team.

The boys who have been named to the all league teams within the diocese have been

competed against. Therefore, he has seen every boy in action, at least, twice. No coach may vote for a member of his own team.

For a boy to be selected by opposing coaches is an honor and a testimony of his ability.

Southeastern Massachusetts Conference 20 seniors and five juniors won all-star berths. No rreshmen or sophomores were elected. In fact only two sophomores from within the confines of diocesan territorial limits were listed on the all league teams. Both were from the Hockomock League. Nine of the ten berths on the Cape and Islands team were awarded to seniors.

In the northern sector of the diocese, Craig Watts from Oliver Ames High in Easton ami Greg Meyer of King Philip High of Wrentham, both sophomores, were named to the Hockomock League all-star team. Watts, who manned the pivot post for league titlist Oliver Ames, is joined by teammate Brad Tighe a 6'2" senior who was selected for the second straight year.

President Sees Serra LITTLE ROCK (NC) - Serra International is in a healthy state, although the present growth in its vocations' apostolate is "mostly outside of North America," Edward B. Dillon, Jr., said in an interview.

The Arkansas attorney and civic leader, who last year was elected president at Serra International's convention in London, said the organization "is advancing with the Church to meet the modern needs of vocations to the religious life."

"Growth in clubs in the past sever,al yeQIS is mostly outside of North America," Dillon said.

"It is vigorous in Brazil-good in Italy-and satisfactory elsewhere. The international board has just approved Serra's first charter in Portugal.

"We have 379 active clubs in 31 countries, with about 12,500 members. The total membership will always be limited because of attendance and committee service regulations, but an increased effort to promote extension and greater membership in North America is being planned."

Dillon said there was no concrete evidence of the actual results of Serra's work in the furthering of vocations, but the fact remains that "vocations are again on the upswing."

"We have no actual proven

statistics, though many bishops and vocation directors have told us they feel Serra has made a positive impact on laymen concerned for vocations," Dillon said.

"A reciprocal question might be: How bad would it have been w.itfuout Serr'a? We do have three former Serrans about to be ordained to the priesthood in spring, 1975-two at the Beda in Rome and one from John XX'III Seminary (Weston, Mass.), and a number of Serrans in the United States enrolled in the permanent diaconate program."

The 49-year-old attorney, who conducts a civil law practice in Little Rock, has been involved in Serra International for almost 15 years, although he has been

an active layman ,in the Church since graduating cum laude from law school.

He said that lems that are groups in the uncertain days

Serra "has probsimilar to other Church in these of turmoil."

"However, I feel that these problems are less acute in Serra than in some other lay groups," he said. "There are so many demands on time and so many opportunities for fulfillment inside and outside the Church that every potential member. is torn as to choice. It has become a matter of priorities,"
