Easter Message

Dearly beloved in Christ, After our solemn observance of the Lord's passion and death, we find ourselves today celebrating the most signifi足 cant event in the history of the human race: the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We do well to reflect and pray today upon the singular importance of these saving events and to consider the impact which they have upon our lives.

Whereas once the human condition w~s marked by sin and death, through the infinite love given to us upon the cross, we now have the hope of sharing in the glorry of the resurrection of the Lord in everlasting life.

With this infinite and eternal gift freely offered to each of us comes the obligation to live and grow in Christ's love.

The flame of the Easter candle burning in our midst reminds us that the light of Christ's love must glow in our hearts.

We have shared in His life and resurrection through our baptism; we must, therefore, share in His life and ministry.

By His death and resurrection, Jesus made present the Kingdom of God in the world. By His ~fe and ministry, He taught us how to further the Kingdom in this world.

Each of us must take this opportunity to reflect upon his or her gifts and then to consider the manner by which we may best use these gifts for the Kingdom of God. Priests and deacons share in the ministry of the bishop.

Men and women who have consecrated their lives as reli足 gious manifest charity. Married couples live in fidelity.

All Christians endeavor to be fervent in their love and service for the Church.. In these anell countless other ways, do we discern the signs that the Kingdom of God is in our midst. .

On this Easter Sunday, as the Jubilee Year celebrating the 1950th anniversary of our redemption draws to a close, I invite all of you to continue to pray in the spirit of the Holy Year. I call each of you to keep the fire of Christ's love burning brightly in your hearts so. that together we may truly serve one another in the selfless spirit in which Christ gave Himself for us.

I send to each of you on this most blessed of all days my most sincere and prayerful good wishes. May the Risen Lord live within you and strengthen you. May His love fill your lives and bring to you His peace, today and always..

Devotedly yours in Christ,

Bishop of Fall River .

Vocations: Part II Confident Expectation Easter is a time for enthusiastic optimism. Much more than the remembrance of .a historic event, it is the answer to all of the weaknesses of faith that plague the human condition. The mystery of the resurrection renews expec­ tation in each believer.

This is especially trUe for priests, even though. they already are men of hope. To the priest who tries to enter into th~ reality of these memorable days, Easter often brings a rebirth of visions and dreams. In the spirit of hope, all who respond to the call of the Lord, whatever their personal fnlgilities, see in this season the renewal, of promises to be kept and goals to be striven' for. .

Among the obvious responsibilities that Holy Orders places upon the conscience of the priest is that of modeling hope in his own life. In our days such a task becomes more and more difficult to fulfill. The world ·screams at our young people to such an extent that ~any become deaf, to any other sound, certainly to that of the often quiet call of a religious vocation.

Yet as more demands are placed on the priest, as the Catholic population continues to 'expand and as the chal­ lenges of our social order become more and more complex, the need for more, not fewer pnests should be obvious.

It is natural that priests themselves should be the prime nurturers of vocations. Indeed, it is incumbent on them to be conscious of their own importance in shaping those who are hopefully to follow them. It's not merely a matter of lip service, a petition in a prayer of the faithful or even an occasional homily. It certainly is. nor·acceptable for a priest to feel that vO'cations are' the tasks. of a sPecial diocesan office and none of his affair.

When there is a turn around in vocation response, it will be Jound that the first seeds will have been planted by priests fully aware of their responsibility to be a catalyst for the Lord.

The issue of nuclear testing dges not have the visibility of the issues related to the nuclear freeze, to the MX or the B1.

But the question of nuclear test­ ing is probably more important than any other issue. If the superpowers would agree to stop testing and thereby cease making nuclear weapons ever more hideous, there would be a very significant halt in the arms buildup.

One hundred and eight nations have signed' the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty of 1963. With White House 'leadership, the same number might well sign a new agreement banning all underground testing of any nu­ clear devices. That could be a turning point of immense signi­ ficance in the 39-year history of the nuclear arms race.

Resurrections·

"Easter is easier to under­ stand when you're older," a grandmother told a group of . young women in a scripture class. "Why, what do you mean?" asked one.

"You look ,back over your life and recognize signs of .resurrec­ tion," she replied. "I see now that when one of our sons went through the drug and dropC?ut. scene of the sixties we thought he was lost to us. But today he's a healthy young father with good ideals and we realize it's rebirth. I'm afraid we gave up on him before God did."

A listening mother nodded.

"We felt the same when our daughter became an unwed mother. We felt we had failed somehow aM that it would ruin all our lives. We even thought of abortion as a possibility. But that baby is now a beautiful 10­ year-old and our daughter is a wonder wife and mother."

The signs of resurrection in personal lives are all around us.

How many people who give up the faith for awhile find it again and return to God, recognizing that without Him, life held the bleakness Qf Lent.

How many times did our de­ spair over a lost job or a crumb­ Hng marriage turn into oppor­ tunities for a renewed life? The problem is that we don't see these Lenten periods of our lives as opportunities' for resurrecti!>n later on.

During Lent we talked about the seven deadly sins in family life: pride, anger, covetousness, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. I wrote that instead of focusing on these as signs of failure, we must learn to recognize them as opportunities for rising above them into the kind we can be and God means us to be.

God means us . So what's the state of your spiritual life? How's your immortal soul? Is your rela­ tionship with God good?

I was going ,to ask those ques­ tions of myself for Easter, but I decided to put you on the spot today instead. I don't want to take my inventory in public be­ cause I'm afraid I might come up short. Let's -look at your faults instead of mine.

conscience and you have to ex­ amine yours. Too bad.

The past and the future are too much for me, so I try to break life down to today. I could be overwhelmed by guilt and re­ morse over the past, and by anxiety about the future. Yester­ day and tomorrow are two days I can't cope with. But I can be useful to God for this 24 hours, and you can be, too. We can live charitable, virtuous lives today.

I had big plans' for Lent; but I faltered and fell early in the 40 days, as usual. I had intend­ ed to really try to eat less for Lent, to get up from every meal feeling a little bit hungry. I hoped this might make me more sensi­ tive to the suffering of others.

I'm much too self-centered.

I don't thirtk we have to spend three hours of the 24 on our knees in prayer and the rest of the day looking after lepers and lost sheep. Mother Teresa and Father Bruce Ritter do that, but God expects more of them than He does of us. God is merciful; He understands our limitaitons.

But self-denial and Reel just din't hit it off together. My ab­ stinence didin't even last a day.

As this is written,I've been my usual gluttonous self during the season when we Christians are called to sacrifice for Christ. I hope to redeem myself some­ what before Easter Sunday. I can still salvage the last part of Lent.

All we need is willingness, and we can share in the Resur­ rection today. "You have been raised to life with Christ," St. Paul preached, "so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Christ sits on his throne at the right side of God. Keep your minds fixed on things .there, not on things here on earth."

Readers meeting me for the first time often tell me, "Why, you're not fat!" Reading my column, they've inferred that I must be immense. But a glut­ ton doesn't have to be fat any more than a drunk has to stag­ ger. When I write that I'm a glutton, I mean that I too often eat until I'm stuffed.. I'm com­ pulsive from anchovies to ziti.

Nervous energy burns up most of .the calories, saving me from obesity.

St. Paul is talking to you and me. He means us. Today.

Only kidding. It can't be done, of course. I have to examine my

Baptismal Party. Prepare the table with a white tablecloth (or sheet) a~d white napkins; plan to serve a white cake and/or vanilla ice cream. The candle may be placed in the center of the table during the snack time along with greens or flowers.

5

All I can do is humbly· ask God to release me from compul­ sive eating. God will do it if I have enough faith. He's worked larger miracles than this in my life, believe me.

Freed from gluttony, I'd be a better Christian to myself and to others. I'd be more useful to God. Being useful to God is the whole point of a person's exis­ tence, as I see it.

If you are useful to God, the state of your spiritual :life is ex­ cellent. If you are useful to God, your immortal soul is splended.

If you are useful to God, your relationship' with God is good indeed. . And a very hopeful thought at Easter, when hope abounds, is that all of us can be useful to God beginning immediately. Put past failures aside 'and begin anew right now. It's a wonder­ ful, heartening, hopeful fact that our Christian faith is always in the present tense. Nothing is stopping us from living the faith of the saints. All we need is

Comfort. It can be as simple as the consoling touch of one who '

cares. A m<;>ment of quiet pra~r together.

No work---'no project or program-is more precious to the ,

Last February 3 The Anchor ran a story about Sister Barbara Walsh, SUSC, former principal of Holy Name School, Fall River, now a missioner in Appalachia, in the tiny t6wn of Monlicell.o, Ky. The stpry noted Sister Barbara'sdream of buying a $16,000 classroom van to reach preschool children in the Appalachian hills. Deprived of any preparation to enter the world of education, 50 percent of such youngsters become high school dropouts, she said..

In February,' Sister Barbara had $982 towards her goal. On a visit to Fall River -last week 'she reported that her fund now stands at $5,600, swelled by donations from all parts of the diocese, including contributions from Holy Name School, where she. addressed her former pupils, her native parish of SS. Peter and Paul, also in Fall River, and St. ~rnard's parish, J\Ssonet. . The Anchor article also mentioned the n~d for clothes and shoes in Appalachia and Sister Barbara said response had been overwhelming, especially from Cape Cod. She mentioned particularly the gift of 35 pairs of new sneakers.

"They were snatched up im­ mediately," she ·said Her hope is to increase' her kitty to $8,000.' Then, she said, she will be eligible to, apply for foundation matching funds to at­ tain her $16,000 goal. Already in hand, she said, are promises

by Kentucky, organizations' to maintain and fuel the van, once acquired.

Her address again: St. Peter's Church, PO Box 669, Monticello, KY 42633.

Father Ernest E. Blais, pastor of Notre Dame parish, Fall River, announced to parishioners at Masses last weekend that con­ struction of a new church would begin shortly after Easter.

The church will replace the landmark structure destroyed by fire in May, 1982.

Father Blais paid tribute to the support offered by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin during and since the fire. He said that Holmes and Edwards have de­ signed the proposed new church and that the contractor would be Sullivan and Foster, Inc. of New Bedford.

"The contract price for con­ stniction is $3.4 million," said the pastor, adding that diocesan , attorneys and insurance consult­ ants are presently preparing and reviewing contracts and bonds involved in the project.

, "Following the dreadful fire," said Father Blais, "an insurance settlement was made with the Diocese In the amount of $4.1 million.

"In the intervening months, we have experienced rather for­ midable expenses. The fire­ ravaged ruins of the old church had to be demolished. Monies were owed to contractors for work completed before the blaze.

We were fortunate to, have an opportunity to acquire property . in the neighborhood to enlarge the site for. potential future de­ velopment and these parcels were purchased.

"Altogether, more than $500,000 has already been expended for these items. Balanced against expenditures made from the settlement, there haS been a substantial amount of interest earned on' the funds paid in settlement of the complicated insurance claim, and over $300,000 has been added to our resources in this way."

In all, said the pastor, $3.8 million is available for the 'new church, and he does not expect that ':extraordinary fundraising measures" will be needed above that amount. He noted, however, that an appeal will be made for, memorial gifts for church equip­ ment and furnishings, saying that many have already mani­ fested interest in making such contributions.

Father Blais concluded his an­ nouncement by expressing grati­

tude to all who ~ad helped ~e parish and requesting prayers for "the continued prosperity and spiritual growth of our beloved Notre Dame parish." '

Child care bill WASHINGTON (NC) A proposal to use school facilities for child care should include private as well as public schools, Father Thomas G. Gallagher, U.S. Catholic Conference educa­ tion secretary, said in a letter to Sen. Donald W. Riegle Jr., D­ Mich., who introduced a bill, S. 1531,' to make underused school facilities available for child care services.

Worids .better left unsaid

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Dear Dr. Kenny: In a recent column you told a couple who bad been fightiDg a lot to stop trying to communicate. You said, "Now Is not the time for a Mar­ riage Encounter, not the time to ~ore your eommunlcatlqn and deeper' feeUngs f()f each other. Too much of what seems to be going on DOW between you Is negative. Once said unpleasant and angry words have a way of hanging around a relationship like unwelcome ghosts." ,

Advice OD a relationship that excludes communication Is neg­ leetlngthe roots of the relation­ ship. We think your advice to just do things together was superiielal. - Delaware.

Thank you for your emphasis on communication. You have much company in your concern that couples need to share their feelings with' one another. My problem is that not all feelings are good and that the time is not always appropriate to share bad ones.

Communication, like the Postal Service, is a vehicle for trans­ mitting a message. No matter how efficient the transmission, If the message is destructive, good communication will not make everything right. , To assume that individuals ul­ timately want a closer relation­ ship and that all messages basic­ ally can be worked toward the good is mlive. "I hate you" is not a nice message, but it is a ·legitimate one and, unfortunate­ ly, sometimes an honest one.

Nor are all negative messages necessarily destructive. Getting bad feelings out in the open may be the first step toward putting them to rest and reawakening some positive. emotions.

Except for baseball man­ ager Billy Martin, few per­ , sons are ever' truly prepared to hear these words; or some­ thing similar, telling them they no longer have a job. If you've been hired with no guarantee of employment for a definite' period o ftime, you're an "at-will" em­ ployee 'and you may live in fear of getting the pink slip. After all, there's nothing you can do but look for another job ­ right?

Don't be too quick to throw in the towel. It is unlikely that you can force your employer to give y,ou back your job. But if your firing is unjustified, you may be able to recover damages from the, employer.. In other words,. the

Firing an employee for refus­ ing to break the law or for filing a workmen's compensation claim are other exampies- of firings in violation of public policy.

Certain at-will . employment contracts (oral or written) con­ tain an implied agreeinent of . good faith and fair dealing be­ tween the employer and em­ ployee. A bad faith firing under such a contract is grounds for recovery against an employer.

For example, a salesman on com­ mission who is fired to prevent him from collecting those com­ missions can sue his employer for bad faith termination of the employment contract and re­ cover the commisssions. Recog­ nizing this implied agreement of good faith and fair dealing, of .course, is another exception to the old rule that at-will employ­ ment can be terminated by the employer for any reason.

To recover under this implied . agreement theory, an employee has to show that such an agree­ ment was implicit in his employ-. ment contract, that it was vio­ lated by the "bad faith" manner in which he was fired and that he suffered damages from the· firing; To establish that a "bad faith;' discharge has taken place, an' employee has to show either 1) that the employer fired him to benefit financiafty at his ex­ pense (for example, to retain commissions or pension benefits the employee had coming) or 2) that the reason for the discharge

violated a public policy (for ex­ ample, firing someone because of age or sex).

In addition to those remedies mentioned, other possible grounds for suits arising out of unjust firings include interference with an advantageous business of relationship, defamation character and intentional inflic­ tion of emotion distress.

Depending on the type of suit, wrongfully fired employees have been allOwed to recover back pay, including cost of living raises, fringe benefits, com­ missions earned and attorneys' fees.' Punitive damages and damages for pain and suffering are also possibilities. However, the likelihood of being rein­ stated to a former job is small, especially because courts are re­ luctant to create a non-produc­ tive working relationships.

There is some speculation, homever, that the new restraints on employers may lead to new restraints on employees. Perhaps courts will impose reciproc'al obligations on an employee (that is, not to quit a job without good C8use)or look more favorably than they have on 'employee agreements not to compete. with with former employers. For now, though, employees have a variety of methods to insure that the fateful words "You're. 'fired!" don't always end an employer's obligation to them.

THE ANCHOR­ Friday, April 20, 1984

Medical staff members of St. A:nne's Hospital, Fall River, have raised over $92,000 for the in­ stitution's new Oncology/Radia­ tion Therapy Center.

The contribution will fund a memorial within the center for the late Dr. Francis J. D'Errico.

Dr. D'Errico, president of St. Anne's medical staff in 1975, was deeply involved with the hospi­ tal's construction program until his death in 1979.

The therapy center area which will house a state-of-the-art linear accelerator has been chosen as his memorial.

Best approach

o

~ndated) (NC) A decision by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to leave the· Nebraska Christian school certification controversy for the state to re- solve is the best approach, said James Cunningham, executive director of the 'Nebraska Cath­ olic Conference.' Parents at the Faith Baptist Church's school in Louisville, Neb., have refused to

have teachers and curriculum certified by the state, saying the church school should be per­ mitted to set its own educational standards under the First Amend­ ment guarantee of freedom of religion.

School issues WASHINGTON (NC) - See­ ing a favorable political environ­ ment for reform in education,

publi«' and Catholic school offi­ cials met recently in Washingt~n to study ways to keep the issue· alive and to make the, changes that they, not politicians, want in the system. National represen­ tatives of public school teachers, administrators and school boards met with Catholic schol officials to consider recommendations from almost a dozen reports that suggest improving education with merit pay, more rigorous training' for teachers and stricter academic standards for students.

Hospital to put lasers in space MILWAUKEE (NC) St. Mary Hospital in Milwaukee will have several medically related laser experiments aboard the space shuttle Discovery in October.

St.. Mary, operated by the Daughters' of Charity, will be the first private hospital to send a project aboard a NASA shuttle.

The experiments will study ef­ fects of laser beams on medica­ rtions, human tissues, laser-pro­ tective eyewear and ,other ma­ terials in a gravity-free environ· ment.

Myro/l C. Muckerheide, asso­ ciate director of the hospifal's laser laboratory, said that "only in' a gravity-free environment can certain molecular con'figura­ tions be drawn" and that the effect of laser beams on mate· rials differs in space.

It may be possible to produce drugs in space impossible to de­ velop on Earth, Muckerheide said, and studying the effects of the beams on. human tissues could improve ,laser surgery ,techniques.

The space project will cost about $8,000, privately funded.

Test kits scored WASHINGTON (NC) A· consumer group is asking the federal government to place more restrictions on recently approved birth defect test kits, claiming "the tests may -lead women to have abortions because of false test results. The Health Research Group, part of Ralph Nader's citizen organization, sent a let­ ter to Health and Human Ser­ vices Secretary Margaret Heck­ ler asking for the restrictions on test kits approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Last Febru~ry the FDA gave two companies permission to market the kits, which measure the alpha-fetoprotein level of a pregnant woman's blood to help determine if the fetus has aneu­ ral tube defect such as spina bifida.
