National Tragic Death ROCHESTER, N.Y.-A 36 year-old Sister of St. Joseph has been charged with second degree murder in the death of a baby boy born to her a few hours earlier in her convent room, according to police. Authorities identified the nun as Sister Maureen Murphy of Our Lady of Lourdes convent in suburban Brighton. She is in Genesee Hospital for medical and psychological examination and is listed in satisfactory condition, they said. According to Brighton police, the ilUn gave birth unattended April 27, and asphyxiated' the newly born infant by stuffing a piece of clothing in his mouth.

Lawrence T. Kurlander, district attorney, expressed sympathy for other members of the St. Joseph community, praising their work and saying "to be caught up in this horrible death is so unfair to them. There are a lot of bigots in this world, and I think they'll have a field day with this one." .

. At Meeting CHICAGo-"Stand up and be counted on Catholic teaching," Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin of Cincinnati told his fellow U.S. bishops at the beginning of their spring meeting here Tuesday. Among those in attendance is Bishop Daniel A. Cronin.

The Cincinnati archbishop, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, -was introducing a three-day session concluding today whose primary topic was a reexamination of the roles of the bishops' twin national conferences, which could lead to significant changes in the national priorities of the Catholic Church in the United States.

Won't Debate WASHINGTON-The Senate has voted 47-40 against beginning extensive floor debate on proposed constitutional amendments ~o restrict legal abortion. The vote came on a motion to table an amendment introduced by Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), who said his c'primary purpose" was to spark Senate discussion of the amendments. He offered an amendment which would entitle the unborn to the legal right to life from the moment of fertilization.

up to 15 hours a day hearing confessions, condemned the idea that frequent confession is oldfashioned.

To Try Priest .MANILA, The Philippines-A Philippine military tribunal has said it will try LaSalette Father Jose R. Nacu on charges of subversion in May. Father Nacu was arrested Jan. 29, 1973, for the alleged violation of a presidential decree which penalizes the printing, possession, distribution and circulation of subversive literature and materials. Maximum penalty imposed by the decree is from six months to two years imprisonment.

Ask Amnesty SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico-The' bishops of Puerto Rico have asked President Gerald R. Ford to grant amnesty to four Puerto Rican independence activists who are serving federal sentences for their politically motivated acts.

Two of the four were sentenced for an attempt on the life of President Harry Truman in 1950, the others for an armed assault on the House of Representatives in 1951.

Vatican, Too VATICAN CITY-The annual Vatican report, "The Activities of the Holy See," has revealed a serious deficit in the Vatican's budget. The report, which covers all the activities of the various Vatican departments and offices attributes the deficit to "vertiginous increases" in operation costs, the grim situation of international finan:ial markets, and a marked decrease in the donations to the Holy See.

'Vatican Iss,ues Document On Catec:hetics, Synod WASHINGTON (NC) - The Vatican released a document on catechetics April 29 aimed at paving the way for fruitful discussions of the subject at next year's Synod of Bishops in Rome.

National bishops' conferences around the world are being asked for comments. In this country, the Nation8!l Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) will distribute the document and request reactions throu~h its general secretariat.

Entitled "Catechetics in Our Time, With Special Reference to Catechetics for Children and Young People," the 24-page document warns of the risks involved in the renewal of catechetics, among them "the risk of breaking with the past and the risk of fearing the future."

Next year's synod topic, the document points out, will follow naturally from the theme of the previous one, held in 1974 on evangelization.

It compared the relationship between evangelization and catechetics to that existing between planting and watering, or laying a foundation and erecting a building.

The document contains sections dealing with various contemporary factors having a bearing on catechetics.

But it does not attempt to narrow the discussions that will take place next year; rather, it seeks to draw information from the national bishops' groups.

So the questions asked in the document will shape the discussions, but some hint of the shape of the meeting is in the text.

The Vatican intends to place the catechetical emphasis somewhere between the extremes of the day. The document points to "the so-called catechetics of liberation," which it says it "not always without ambiguities or risks."

But "others are ~agging behind

Pope Urges Vocations; Emphasizes Ministries VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has issued a call for religious vocations in which he also emphasized the ministries available to the laity including women and married men.

The Pope directed his message to Catholics in general for the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, to be celebrated Sunday, May 9.

ORDINATION Bishop Cronin cordiaIny invites the clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese to participate in the priestly ordination in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River on Saturday morning, May 8, at 11 o'clock of Rev. Mr. Stephen A. Fernandes and Rev. Mr. Edmund Rego.

Priests wishing to concelebrate with Bishop Cronin are asked to bring amice, alb, cincture and stole.

All priests present are invited to take part in the laying on of hands in the ordination rite.

They are to be vested in cassock and surplice or Mass vestments.

•••••••••••• + ••••••••••

78-year-old Pope said, "but its offices, its ministries, its services are diverse."

The Pope praised the priestly vocation itself as "a prodigious and perennial adventure of evangelization."

But immediately afterward he added that deacons "occupied a special place ... serving the People of God in communion with bishops and priests particularly in the ministry of the divine word, teaching, exhorting, preaching."

The Vatican has in recent years reinstated the permanent diaconate, a ministry which, unlike the priesthood, is open to married men.

The Pope also asked for a new commitment to missionary orders, "a noble task available to 8!lI, men and women, without distinction."

Finally, Pope Paul added, "In this variety of callings we can not forget the laity, who are called to cooperate with their pastors in the service of the ,Church community, carrying out most diverse ministries, according to the grace and charismas that the Lord gives them."

Appeal at $325,792.63

First Parish Returns Great; Early Enthusiasm High The up-to-now elusive one million dollars in charity seemed very much possible this year as the early parish returns began to be recorded in the diocesan office of the Catholic Charities Appeal.

Last Sunday night's initial returns topped last year's returns in every single area. At this time when personal needs are most intimately felt, the Diocese's 113 parishes seemed to be responding in It spirited manner.

Spirits were high in the diocesan office as the initial parish returns bounded some $40,000 over last year's first-night report.

"What a happy night," commented Richard C. Fontaine of New Bedford. "Parish priests

and laity have heard the Bishop.

They will not be unresponsive to the needs that have been so clearly outlined. This year looks like the year-we'll make it-a million for Catholic Charities.

What an expression of Christian love!"

"The Thirty-Fifth Catholic Charities Appeal is not over by any means. But if the first reports are an indication of t~e appeal, we all should be very proud of this clear expression of love and concern for the apostolates f?f charity, mercy, educaHon, health care, social service and other apostolic endeavors of the diocese," beamed Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, diocesan director of the Appeal.

The first returns from some

of the 113 parishes of the diocese and special gift donations received to date make a total of $325,792.63 in the Appeal.

Both Appeal directors hoped that the initial reports would continue enthusiastically and that all parishes would have their first report filed at headquarters by the end of the week.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. May 6, 1976

Teaching Pope The catholicity-universality-of the Catholic Church was dramatically taught last week when Pope Paul VI appointed twenty-one new cardinals. .

These "hinges" of the Ch1,lrch make it possible for the Pope to receive advice from all peoples, cultures and backgrounds at the路 highest and most intimate level. They also bring the message and mission of the Church to every sector of earth's peoples.

The Pope is to be hailed for this great implementation of the Vatican Council and his continuation of the great efforts of Popes Pius XII and John XXIII. The Church must be seen as Catholic not only in intent and lasting power but in its day-to-day operation, its mission and its reception of all.

A DEAF CIDLD'S

Besieged Cardinal

PRAYER

Humberto Cardinal Medeiros, no stranger to the tensions and anxieties humanity has for its leaders, is again in the midst of strife. His feeling for his people, strengthened by his love of truth-which we of the Fall River Diocese have learned to love and respect - has given him a new share in his Master's Cross.

His statement that he is not the leader that can be easily crushed and forgotten has discouraged some. We know of his courage. Every clergyman no matter what the title is only the servant of the Master. Humankind, burning with one passionate issue or another, can apparently always defeat a man no matter what his title, compassion or occupation may be. But the Cardinal reminds us that it is the Master who is our leader, not the servant. Easter has taught us that He is invincible.

Boston's problems are not Boston's alone. As Massachusetts taxpayers we too bear the expenses of guaranteeing civil rights. As fellow Christians, we too bear the anxieties and tensions of our capital brethren.

The lesson of our universal brotherhood/sisterhood is not all learned in emotional sweetness. Sometimes our trespasses teach us of our faults and the rights of others.

Disrespect fC!r one another is not confined to Boston.

Only a few years ago it was Boston which was the hero of civil rights as it championed the rights of civil rights workers in the South. "There but for the grace of God go I," is something we can always say no matter what evil we comment on.

The Cardinal's forthright pleas for reform in family life, the news media, education, the political and professional arenas and the law pertain to all oj us.

There is a lesson for us all in what is being so tragically taught by our fellow citizens. Rights we have and our Bicentennial Spirit rightly teaches that no one should dare tread on them. But rights all have and we must not tread on another's either.

Tense issues can divide us and be valid grounds for argument but we must not face such issues off-balanced and blinded by human indignity and racial bias.

The Cardinal's emphatic insistence that disrespect for man "the image of the living God" is at the root of Boston's crises is a lesson we must all heed.

Do the angels sing in Heaven, Lord?

Will I hear music there?

Or must I stand in a comer While others join in prayer?

While I wonder what they're saying, Lord, As oft I do down here, .

Must I sit in lonely stillness While the bells ring loud and clear?

Can I read your lips in Heaven, Lord?

Will I be brushed aside, And stick my hands in pockets Because of wounded pride?

Will all the saints there praise thee, While I in silence wait?

Will someone up in Heaven Help me through the gate?

Then God, who loves the humble, Whispered in the poor deaf ear, "My child, has no one told you?

There is no silence here.

Hold out your hands, my little one, For all of Heaven to. see.

We've heard them pray so many' times, Each prayer reached up to me.

See all the angels waiting, The gates are open wide, Your crown of life awaits you, And I shall be your guide.

I have a song to give you, You'll sing both loud and clear, And the song you sing, my dear one, Will be the sweetest here."

Bishops at Congress Between Oct. 20, 1975 and April 1, 1976, 10 Catholic bishops appeared persona1lly before congressional committees to discuss their positions on major social issues. This is about as many as appeared in the previous three years.

Committee schedules and路 the fact that there is generally greater activity in the second session of a Congress are partly responsible for the bunching together of these appearances, but it is clear that the bishops also intend increased exposure.

Before explaining why, it is worth recapping the recent testimony. The following summa-

i

Miss., testified on food stamps before the Senate Agriculture Committee. They opposed proposals which would restrict entry into the program and backed proposals which would make the program more responsive to the needs of the poor.

- On Dec. 17, Archbishop Thomas Donnellan of Atlanta testified on costs of unemployment at a Joint Economic Committee regional hearing in Atlanta.

-On Jan. 31, Archbishop Peter L. Gerety of Newark, N. J., appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and said the Church has the right to offer a "moral critique" of foreign pOOicy.

-On March IS, Bishop Eugene Marino, auxiliary of Washington, D. C., testified in support of the liumphrey-Hawkins full employment bill.

-On March 18, Bishop James Rausch, USCC general secretary, repeated usec support for the Humphrey-Hawkins bill before a congressional conference on full employment.

-On March 23, Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Caroinal Terence Cooke of New York, chairman of the bishops' pro-life activities committee, supported a constitutional amendment to restrict aegal abortion and argued that they were concerned with human rights, not with imposing Catholic doctrine on society.

-On April 1, Archbishop Robert Sanchez of Santa Fe, N. M., supported reforms. in the U. S. immigration system.

There are three basic reasons for the increased congressional activity by bishops say sources close to them. The first is obvious-visibility. Testimony presented by a bishop, archbishop or cardinal is more newsworthy than testimony presented by a USCC staffer.

Increased congressional appearances are also related to criticism of the bishops for the biggest show of hierarchical force in congressional historythe appearance in 1974 of four cardinals in support of an antiabortion amendment before a Senate subcommittee.

Some people charged that the appearance revealed the bishops' overemphasis on abortion. Recent stepped-up activity is in part an effort to show that the bishops do give high priority to other issues, sources have said.

The third reason is somewhat more sophisticated, according to observers, involving an effort to take advantage of the influence a local bishop may have on his loca! congressmen.

rizes only testimony presented personally by bishops, not testimony presented on other occasions by U. S. Catholic Conference (USCC) staff.

Father Bouvier -On Oct. 20, Bishop Joseph McNicholas of Springfield, Ill., Rev. Wilfrid T.

Just a Normal Saintly Act IVREA, Italy (NC) The bishop· of this town north of Milan, who offered himself as. a hostage for others, said he considered It a "very normal thing."

Bishop Luigi Bettazzi of Ivrea pleaded with robbers here to release a nine-year-old boy and a 16-year-old clerk and to take him as hostage instead.

The child had seen his father killed in the robbery of a jewelry store.

"As bishop I had to make myself available," Bishop Battazzi explained later. "It seemed to me the most normal thing to do." .

The three bandits, who were later apprehended, did not accept the bishop's offer. He made it three times.

Questioned later about the robbery and killing, the Bishop commented: "The problem centers around

the need to reorganize society in a differeirt way.

"These youths (the bandits) needed to be given jobs that would . have let them settle down. Young people have to feel that they belong in a positive way in society on the level that makes an effective contribution."

Eight Sisters from the Fall River dIocese were among 80 treasurers or finance board members of New England religious congregations meeting last weekend at Mont Marie, Holyoke for the spring convocation of the Conference of Religious Treasurers (CORT), a national organization seeking to administer religious moneys with justice and concern.

Speakers included George E. Reed, discussing legislation and litigation relating to taxation and church-state issues; Rev. Mr. Thomas J. Savage, SJ who offered solutions for religious groups with under-utilized church properties; Sister Barbara A. Metz, SND, whose topic was "Gospel Roots of Religious Poverty"; and Edward McDonagh, controller for the Sisters of Mercy, Cumberland, R. I., who presented a salary update report to the CORT membership. .

Area representatives at the meeting were Holy Union Sisters Sister Mary Jean Audette, immediate past chairman of CORT and currently a member of its executive board, Sister Celine Teresa- and Sister Grace Martin.

Sister Marie Ascension, Sister Marie Therese and Sister ThereSe Gerard represented the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation; and Sister Joseph Marie and Sister Elizabeth Menard represented the Dominican Sisters of St. Cath~fine of. Siena. .'

marriage and so forth. I'm sure everyone reading this column can vividly remember her graduation dress and of course her first prom dress.

By MARILYN RODERICK

Even today there are dresses I that seem to create a mood, dresses in which we always have a good time. This, for those of you who are not superstitious, could be attributed to the fact that if we know we look well we feel well, consequently everything just seems to fall into place. For those of you, like myself, who were brought up with a grandmother and mother who set great store by Irish superstition, these are just lucky dresses'!

make a quilt out of pieces of dresses one has enjoyed over the years. For most of us the time and talent for such a project are lacking but memories do stay with us and we can vividly remember those very special outfits.

I just asked Melissa, my 15year-older, if she had any clothes she remembered with special affection and while she recalled no dresses, she did have fond memories of a sailor type slack outfit she wore for Easter a couple of years ago.

Using her as a test, I would deduce that one has to be much older before memories have' so much meaning. So take a mtle test yourself, write down some of the important events in your life and then try remembering what you were wearing when they occurred. I have very strong convictions that you'll have no trouble remembering!

Then for an extra bonus, see if you can remember that one outfit you considered very special, or very lucky.

St. Anne's Head To Go To Rome The resignation of Sister Jean Marie Perdriault, for the past six years administrator of St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, has been 'accepted by the hospital corporation, effective July 1.

Sister Jean Marie will be stationed in Rome for the next three years, working with the superior general of her congregation, the Dominican Sisters of Charity of the Presentation, in preparing a final text of new Constitutions for her community, to be submitted to a general chapter in 1979.

Pastoral Program An important development of the hospital program during Sister Jean Marie's administration has been an increase in pastoral care available to patients. The religious also devoted much time and study to the preparation of a certificate of need application for hospital construction and modernization. The application was denied in March, but the event throught forth strong expressions of community support for the hospital and emphasized the need for a religiouslyoriented health care f~cility in the Fall River diocese.

A search committee formed of members of the hospital corporation is currently seeking a successor to Sister Jean Marie.

Bishop Daniel A. Cronin spoke for the diocese in expressing his regret at her resignation.

By Sister Loretto Fromm, SUSC (Sister Loretto's response to recent comments of Father Andrew Greeley on 'relevant,' advanced nuns' began in last week's Anchor.)

In the second part of my article I would like to give an explanation of my own ministry as a Sister. To begin this I would like to quote Father James Burtchaell who concludes his first chapter of Philemon's Problem with these words: "There is nothing very astonishing about a God who loves us relentlessly, save that we generally do not believe in one ••. And what difference would such belief, such a God, make for Philemon?" Father Burtchaell then proceeds to examine the "differences such a belief would LEADERSIDP RETREAT-WORKSHOP: Parish council and staff memebers of Our make to our doctrine, our ethic, Lady of the Assumption Church, New Bedford, participate in weekend retreat-workshop and our ritual."

Superb advance planning and a timely bicentennial theme combined to make the 23rd annual convention of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW)., held last Saturday at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River, a memorable occasion.

Carrying out the theme of "Liberty and Justice for All," the morning program presented a fascinating mosaic of customs and cultures of six ethnic groups represented in the Fall River diocese, with presentors ranging from a 75-year-old retired schoolteacher to a young Portuguese immigrant. Reminiscences of Portuguese, Italian, Cape Verdean, Lebanese and Puerto Rican immigrants to the area were offered by John McAvoy, Joao L. DaCosta, Rose Furgiuele and John Monsour, all of Fall River, and Mrs. Frank Almeida and Mrs. Lydia Cormier of New Bedford.

NationSll anthems and other music typical of Poland and France were played and sung by Mrs. Wanda Widak and Miss Linda Widak, Taunton, and Raymond DeLisle and David Carrier, Fall River.

During a morning business session the 300 women present, representing 15,000 members ·of 96 council affiliates, unanimous-

ly adopted resolutions opposing an equal rights amendment to the Constitution and supportprograms "which generate respect for life."

The equal rights resolution opposed such an amendment because it would, it declared, "in reSllity wipe out the many legal safeguards which protect woman's position in the family and because it proposes an idea of woman foreign to the Christian concept of woman's co-equal, but individual, dignity with man."

The resolution stated that sufficient safeguards for women's rights already exist, citing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Employment Act of 1972, "a multitude of Federal and State Laws and Executive Orders in regard to employment," Title IX of the Education Aniendments of 1972 and Health, Education, Welfare regulations.

It stated that the DCCW would support House BiM No. 4370, which would rescind the federal Equ~ Rights Amendment passed by the Massachusetts legislature June 21, 1972.

Bishop Speaks At the afternoon session of the convention George A. Wells, former Worcester mayor and

former Governor's Council member, spoke on "Have We Lost the Spirit of '76?" In a wideranging survey of American history he extolled the virtues of patriots during the past 200 years and stressed the importance of telling "our young people what is right about America."

He said parents should remind children of the many "great caring organizations" such as the American Red Cross that give volunteer service to the needy.

The speaker also decried the "capricious changing of national holidays" to dates other than those originally selected and noted that "cheap and cynical use of national heroes for advertising purposes, such as Washington's Birthday sales, contributes to a breakdown of national strength."

In his address to the convention Bishop .Daniel A. Cronin expressed gratitude for DCCW cooperation over the years, especially with regard to the annual Bishop's Ball. "You've clapped for everyone else - now give yourselves a hand!" said the prelate.

He noted that beginning with the women who accompanied Jesus and played an essential part in his ministry, women of Turn to Page Ten

Continued from Page Thirteen the law. Rev. Thomas L. Rita, associate department director and juvenile court chaplain for Fall River, coordinates the work of Rev. Thomas C. Lopes, New Bedford chaplain, Rev. ~aymond Robillard, Taunton, and Rev. Richard Roy, Attleboro. Plans for simiJIar service on the Cape and Islands are under way.

"Our main work is to give priestly witness and service to troubled youngsters and their families," said Father Graziano.

Like all other programs of the office, he pointed out, chaplaincy services' are available on a nonsectarian basis.

Another recent project has been that of cooperating with the Refugee and Immigration program of the U. S. Catholic Conference in, resettling Vietnamese refugees. In all, this office has been involved with about 45 refugees and is currently giving direct service to about 15, said Father Graziano.

Bicentennial Programs Bicentennial planning is a short-term office project and its main activity will be an outdoor Mass on May 31 at Bishop Stang High School, North Dartmouth. Thousands of diocesans are expected to attend and hear homilist Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen and the music of the Diocesan Choir. The Bicentennial liturgy to be used will also be available for parish use the weekend of July 4.

Pro-life is a priority of the department, declared Father Graziano. Miss Dianne Gagnier is the social worker in charge of adoption procedures and services for unwed parents, available to Catholics and nonCatholics 8!like.

In contrast to the past, many unwed mothers elect to keep their babies, noted Father Graziano, and girls have three or four weeks after birth to make their final decisions in this mat-

ter. "We offer counseling, but we don't pressure a girl either to keep or have her baby adopted," said the priest, adding that "much of the stigma of unwed parenthood has been removed. Young people are much more open today."

Adoptions, in partial consequence of such attitude$, are more difficult, he observed. "At present we have a waiting list of about 30 families and the waiting period for a child can be two to three years."

In the general pro-life area, Father Graziano is working with a diocesan-wide committee in developing a plan for political, educational and social pro-life action.

Parish Councils In taking an overall look at the department he has headed for two years, the director said, "In our first year we concentrated on service to the Spanish people, in the second we worked on developing the counseling program ~nd in our third we hope to offer aid to parish councils in the areas of planning and goal setting."

Returning to the theme of parish primacy, Father Graziano paid tribute to the work of St. Vincent de Paul Societies as organizations offering rapid emergency aid to individuals in need.

"We only exist to perform the services that can't be offered on the parish level," he concluded.

Continued from Page Eight the church have played a significant role. "It is getting more attention from the media now than formerly," he observed, adding that he hoped the DCCW would encourage membership of young women so that the organization could "remain strong in the service of the Church."

Adverting to the bicentennial theme of the day, Bishop Cronin paid tribute to the contribution of Catholic immigrants to Amer- , ica, stressing the value of the faith of immigrant families in building a united nation.

At the conclusion of his address, the Bishop received a check from the DCCW, presented by Mrs. Michael J. McMahon, diocesan president. He immediately turned it over to Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, a DCCW spiritual director and diocesan director of the annual Catholic Charities Appeal.

With priests in attendance as concelebrants, the Bishop was then principal celebrant at a special Bicentennial Mass.

Patriotic Decor Decorations for the convention carried out the patriotic theme, including a reproduction of the Uberty Bell in the foyer of Connolly High School, red, white and blue table and stage deoorations and a striking backdrop for the Bicentennial Mass.

Several convention hostesses wore colonial gowns.

A convention sidelight was the "weighing-in" of Mrs. John J. Houst, president of Cape and Islands District Five of the DCCW. In December Mrs. Houst, then weighing 265 pounds, began a "diet·thon" to caM attention to problems of world hunger, asking pledges of a dime to $1 for each pound she lost by the time of Saturday's convention.

At the weighing-in, she had lost 40 pounds and announced that pledges amounting to $35 a pound had been received for a total of $1400, which will be

As bishop of Springfield-eape Girardeau, Cardinal-elect Baum visited the then Josephite Father Philip. Berrigan, who was confined to the federal prison for his part in destroying Selective Service files.

Later, as head of the Wash· ington archdiocese, he visited suburban Virginia's Lorton reformatory, where he said that Church statements on prison reform "must be followed up by concrete action."

A short time late, the archdioceses took steps to implement recommendations of its task force on justice and oorrections, which advocated alternatives to pre-trial confinement, aid to women prisoners who are mothers and community involvement in rehabilitation.

Avers CCD No Substitute For Catholic Schools

·Child Center Continued from Page Three in the premises as St. John's Day Nursery in St. Patrick's parish, under the auspices and with the authorization of the bishop, in the field of child care and social service from 1916 to April 7, 1972, is part of the "spiritual and pastoral work and mission of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River and St. Patrick's parish."

The CCD is like busing: you can't be a good liberal and oppose it. Some of the most hostile reactions to our just published book, "Catholic Schools in a Declining Church," (Sheed and Ward; $15.00), have come from the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) enthusiasts who are it would !be. In fact, as far as appreciable effect on adult reli· profoundly offended at our gious behavior, the CCD looks finding that the CCD is not like a waste of time,· money ,and

leagues simply avoid mentioning the subject when discussing our report. There is always an angry and self-righteous person who stands up and denounces the study - unread of course because of its "opposition" to CCD. And that's the only thing you talk about the rest of the evening.

Like busing, CCD is a matter of pure faith. No one has ever come up with any evidence that either accomplish a dam thing.

They are both good because one knows they are good. Indeed, despite all the money, resources, hope, energy, and ideology the Church has poured into the CCD during the last 10 years, no one has even thought seriously of attempting a study of its effectiveness. When you know that something is effective you don't have to study it.

Not a Substitu~e I am not particularly "for" or "against" CCD. It may well be a useful symbol of the Church's concern about those who do not go to Catholic schools (an ever increasing number, because of the hierarchy's refusal to build new ones). In some places and on some young people it may have a notable impact. It may be a useful adult educational experience for the teachers; it may protect our semi-literate younger clergy from the temptation to turn away from the TV on an evening and actually read something besides the sports page and the rock music reV'iews.

But the data of our research show beyond any. reasonable doubt that CCD does not even begin to be an adequate substitute for Catholic schools - much less the superior replacement that some of the righteous CCD enthusiasts of the 1960s thought

energy.

You can keep on having CCD if you want, !but don't try to pretend that it is more than a symbolic or ritualistic exercise. It isn't accomplishing much of anything.

But whence, then, the popularity of CCD and the intensity of the moral commitment to it?

Guilt Reducer I would suggest that the sight of hordes of children pouring into a CCD classroom is a mar· velous guilt reducer. The bishop who feels guilty because he lacks the courage to build more Cathalice schools, the pastor who feels guilty because he is too lazy to raise the money to keep his school going, the parent who feels guilty because ·a bigger car is more important than parochial school tuition, the religious who feels guilty because she has fled from her community to a "religious educaHon" apostolate-all of these can take heart when they see the kids trooping off to CCD. The fact is that the hated and collapsing parochial schools are the best religious education system ever devised; indeed, in a time of transition and chaos in the Church, the parochial schools are more effective educational institutions than even the family - a notable change since the 1963 study. The fact is that we are rapidly phasing them out despite their effectiveness, even though we do not have any adequate substitute.

We are closing down a proven educational instrument and trying to replace. it with one that will not do the job. And the fact is that we're doing so despite the evidence because we have lost our nerve.

The CCD enthusiasm, in other words, is a coward's way out..

If it is so remarkably pervasive among Catholic elites, the reason is that in a time of systematic and massive loss of nerve, the coward is king. . And there are ·a lot of kings in American Catholicism just now - and blind ones, to boot.

WEIGH-IN: Mrs. James R. Hayden, Diocesan Council of Catholic Women international commission chairman, checks 40 pounds lost by Mrs. John J. Houst, Cape and Islands district president, who has been on a "diet-thon" since December to benefit world hunger programs. Weight loss is worth $1400 in pledges by friends, organizations.

It is further stipulated that the corporation formed by St. John's was secular in nature and independent of the bishop and is not and has never been an agency or instrumentality of the bishop or been authorized by him to hold itself as acting on his behalf.

In order to avoid confusion between the diocesan activity carried on at St. Patrick's parish, St. John's Child Care and Development Center Inc., is to change its name before June 1 in such a way that it will not contain reference to St. John's Day Nursery or St. John or St. Patrick's parish.

Also the center cannot purport to be an activity which is or has been sanctioned, conducted by, or associated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River.

Whatever new name the center takes after June 1 may however refer to the fact that it is a successor to itself for a 30 day period.

The Herald News story concludes by stating that if the terms of the court order are carried out by June 1, a final judgment will be entered without costs.

KNOW YOUR FAITH ~ Healing Through Laying On of Hands Nearly 10 years ago I confessed my sins to an older priest, also a friend, who enjoyed an excellent reputation then and does now as a wise, understanding spiritual guide.

By FR. JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN It was not a routine listing of repeated faults, but one of those tension-filled outpourings which most of us experience on occasion. As I knelt by his side and began the tale of my troubles he quickly sensed my anxiety and simply reached out to lay a reassuring hand upon my arm.

Since I clearly recall the incident -almost a decade later, it should be obvious what a positive, healing impact that simple, silent gesture exerted on me.

Jesus aoted -in similar fashion throughout His public ministry.

Benedictine Father Godfrey Diekmann, one of the pre- and post-Vatican II liturgical giants, recalls several instances of such a healing "laying on of hands" ,by our Lord in a fine article by that title which appears in the January 1976 issue of "Liturgy," published by the Liturgical Conference (1330 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005).

The Gospel according to John has few references to this gesture, but the accounts attributed to Mark and Luke contain many examples of healing through Christ's touch or laying on of hands. tin fact, people crowded around the Master eager to touch Him, or at least His clothing since, in the words of Scripture, "Power went forth from him and healed all."

Father Diekmann, citing Old Testament illustrations, the early acts of the Apostles and Christian documents of the first centuries, maintains in his essay Turn to Page· Thirteen

fore as a four-year-old child. His actual comment on seeing the newspaper clippings was, "are you kidding?" Perhaps the next reaction was a subdued whistle and the familiar proverb "wonders never cease."

One place where medical wonders never cease is Lourdes, France, site of the apparition of the Virgin Mary to St. Bernadette in 1858. Over the past 118 years, a sophisticated medical bureau has developed at Lourdes which examines patients before and after cures and singles out the five to 10 most extraordinary miracles each year. Over 25,000 physicians have voluntarily participated in the work of this bureau including many nonChristians and non-believers. In one year the list included 47 medical school professors representing all major medical specialities and the best medic;al schools of Europe.

By STEVE LANDREGAN Central to the message of Jesus 1s His preaching of the Kingdom· of God. Without an understanding of the kingdom, Jesus' .preaching, His miracles, even His call to discipleship cannot be comprehended.

In order to understand the concept of the Kingdom we must ask ourselves what the Jews to whom Jesus proclaimed the kingdom understood by the term .

To them the Kingdom of God (or kingdom of Heaven in Matthew) meant the decisive intervention of God in history,· particularly in the history of His chosen people. .Jt was to be a period when man would once again live in harmony with God, with this neighbor, with himself and with the created world about him. The Ki~gdom would not be political or geographical but rather would represent the reign of God. Sin and evil 'Would be annihilated and justice "and peace would prevail in the prophetic view of the Kingdom. There were, however, secular and na,tionalistic overtones to the an,ticipation, particularly in the centuries just before Christ. For . some the coming of the Kingdom meant_ freedom from Rome, for others it meant reven~e against Israel's present and former oppressors. for still others it meant restoration of Israel's former power and grandeur.

It was against this background that Jesus began His ministry by proclaiming that "This is the time of fulfillment. The reign of God is at hand!" (Mark 1:15).

The Kingdom nroclaimed by Jesus was a kingdom of the already and of the not yet. He preached that the kingdom was "in your midst," and told His disciples to .pray to the Father "thy kingdom come." He used parables of the mustard seed, the leaven and ~owing wheat to teach that while the Kingdom had broken into history that it had yet to reach its fullness.

Jesus' miracles were signs of the kingdom, milestones, so to speak, on the road to its fullness.

They reveal Jesus as the proclaimer of'the Kingdom.

Acts of Power Hebrew had no word for miracle, in our_modern sense of the word. The -Israelites did not have faith in miracles. They had faith in God who was Lord of nature and of history. In Biblical thought everything that occurred in nature was the handiwork of God. There was no need for Jews to explain miracles performed by Jesus in terms of subjective, personal experience. They were not embarrassed by miracles. They simply accepted them as manifestations of God's power. To them Jesus' miracles were acts of power or mighty works.

The Gospels and the evange· lists recognized Jesus as the

STEVE LANDREGAN WRITES, "Jesus' healing miracles are signs of the restoration of harmony, the healing of man's brokeness, the reconciliation of man within himself, with others, and with God."

Luke: Tell Me, Doclor

BY REV. ALF'RED McBRIDE

'''Luke, our dear physician, sends you greetings" (Col. 4,14.)

Luke, the doctor, joined Paul's second missionary journey at Troas. He had apparently been a world traveler prior to meeting Paul and was doubtless a useful companion helping Paul find his way around the Greek cities.

The so-ca.lled "We Passages (Le., Paul and I) of Acts show how intimately Luke was tied into extensive missionary work of Paul.

Most likely he began- to gather the data for his Gospel during his stay at Caesarae Phillipi, while Paul was in prison there for two years. Possibly, he wrote the first draft at that time.

After that he sailed with Paul to Rome. Not only was he a doctor, but he also seemed to possess a fair knowledge of sailing skills (cf Acts 27) and he was a superb reporter. In his Gospel he built a literary bridge between the Jewish and gentile world. He addressed his works to Greeks and Romans and noted that his patron was a Greek

named Theophilus.

Luke not only is a doctor, but writes dike one who has access to the realities of life and the intimacies of people. Luke's account of the births of Jesus and John reflect the interests of a physician to whom such knowledge would be confided. There are many examples of the "physician's touch" that appear in his Gospel th~t do not show up elsewhere.

He alone comments on the "severity" of the fever of Peter's mother-in-law (Lk 4, 38).

Whereas Matthew and Mark simply note that the daughter of Jairus was raised from the dead to the astonishment of all, Luke adds the homely note. "(Jesus) told them to give her something to eat"(Lk 8, 55).

It is Luke who tells the story of the Good Samaritan with its "first aid" episode.

Just as important for our own times, Luke appreciated the psychological settings for many of the stories.

Turn to Page Thirteen

Continued from Page Twelve onstrated two important things.

Satan and his kingdom had been hound by the power of God, and the healing, restoring power of God's reign had begun.

Within the Gospels, the frequent instances. of demonic possession were signs of, Satan's bondage and of. his capacity to bring about all forms of disoroer.

Lord of Life Jesus' exorcism, His expulsion of demons marked the beginning of the end of Satan's power, or his bondage of the world. It was an infallible sign of the Kingdom.

"If it is by the finger of God that I cast out devils, then the reign of God is upon us" (Luke 11:20).

Jesus' healing miracles are signs of the restoration of harmony, the healing of man's brokenness, the reconcilation of man within himself, with others, and with God. Sickness and death ·are remnants of man's brokenness and the bondage of Satan. Death is his ultimate stronghold (1 Cor 15-25) and Jesus raising of Jairus' daughter and the son of the widow at Nairn reveal Him as· Lord of Life who overcame death ... the strongest power of Satan.

The fact that Jesus didn't heal all the sick and raise all the dead in Palestine during His ministry reflects the tension of the already and the not yet of the

Kingdom. Jesus' mighty works, His acts of power were anticipatory signs of the fullness of the Kingdom that is yet to come.

Fr. Xavier Leon-Dufour puts it beautifully in his "Dictionary of Biblical Theology," where in his article on Suffering, .Fr. LeoDufour says of Jesus: "He does not abolish tears, He only dries some of them while passing by (Lk 7:13, 8:52) as a sign of the joy that will unite God and His children on the day when 'He will wipe away tears from all eyes'" (Is 25:8, Rev 7:17, 21:4).

Jesus' miracles were and are a challenge to faUh. They confronted His contemporaries with the choice of whether to believe or to disbelieve. To believe that the power of God was revealed in Jesus, or to believe that He was a charlatan. Each of us is confronted in the same way. The mighty works of Jesus are a meeting place of the message and faith. They Ibring us face to face with the divine invitation to discipleship and we have to make a choice. Yes or No. Faith is more than the challenge to believe. It is the challenge to follow, the challenge to commit.

The miracles of Jesus are signs of the Kingdom that accompany Jesus' proclamation of the Kingdom. They invite men into citizenship in the Kingdom that is present and yet to come.

Laying on of Hands Continued from Page Twelve that the basic purpose of this gesture was and is to signify the conferral of the Holy Spirit.

Health for the body, peace in the soul, holiness within the recipient and harmony among the community were and are the natural, consequent results of the Spirit's outpouring.

, '" At the Eucharist, the celebrant extends his hands over the bread and wine asking that the Holy Spirit transform these gifts into Jesus' Body and Blood.

The Catholic "father" next actually takes the bread into his hands, a normal part of a Jewish father's blessing of the meal and a movement developed from and paraJllel to the earlier gesture over the elements. * During the anointing of the the sick, the priest lays both hands upon the seriously sick person's head, "saying nothing."

In this rite we see the evident link betwee~ what our Lord did 2,000 years ago for the ill and achieves today through the hands of a priest.

In an allied section of the ritual, the text urges those who surround the bedside of the gravely infirm to trace once again that sign of the cross upon their foreheads a reminder of the first cros~ing in Baptism which gives all Christians a promise and thus hope for future glory. '" A rt f th bIt' s pa 0 e a so u Ion ' I for WI'th'10 th e re formedntua the sacrament of Penance, the priest extends both hands over the penitent's head or at least directs his raised right arm in that direction.

This recalls the ancient Christian practice by which an alienated sinner was w~comed back to his or her spiritual home through the imposition of hands by the bishop or his delegate.

My confessor friend's armholding move came before absolution. But his purpose was basically the same - to convey through this touch an assurance that the Holy Spirit, forgiver, comforter, healer, was present in our midst and would come to bring me forgiveness, comfort and healing.

Miracles of Jesus

Luke

ONE PLACE WHERE wonders never cease is Lourdes, France, site of the apparition of the Virgin Mary to St. Bernadette in 1858, Father McCarthy writes. A sophisticated medical bureau has developed at Lourdes where more than 25,000 physicians have volunteered to study the cures of many patients there.

Wonders Never Cease Continued from Page Twelve lation and these tend to discredit miracles in general. The renowned British writer, C.S. Lewis, once pointed out that "most stories about miraculous events are probably false." But he was so convinced that some are not that he wrote his book "Miracles."

C.S. Lewis notes that the modern world of science prefers not to believe in a God of miracles.

Many scientists prefer the religion called Pantheism in which God is a pervasive but inert principle of beauty, truth, and goodness. Pantheism has existed from time immemorial in India and elsewhere; in fact, Lewis feels it results from the spontaneous natural bent of the human mind. "The Pantheist's God does nothing," writes C. S. Lewis, "demands nothing; He is there if you wish for him, like a book on a shelf; He will not pursue you." The Pantheist God does not reveal Himself in any way or concern Himself with human affairs.

Miracles of Jesus Miradles disturb the complacency of Pantheism by suggesting a living God who thinks and acts and writes His own script in human history. Alexis Carrel in 1902 learned this first hand.

He found himself unwelcome at the Medical School of Lyons, France, because he sent a patient to Lourdes where she was cured of a tubercular abscess.

Carrel thereupon transferred to the U. S. where his brilliant achievements at the Rockefeller Institute earned for him the Nobel Prize of Medicine in 191'3.

The miracles of Jesus indicated that the Kingdom of God had begun. Miracles are less needed now than before the Church was founded because the 'Church itself has become the sign of the Kingdom. But they do continue to take place and thus show that the history of salvation has not yet come to completion.

In fact, miracles and sacraments are unique wonder-signs of the Church. While miracles point toward the new world of final resurrection and completed

redemption in the end time, the sacraments re-present here and now the historical acts of Christ's death for the forgiveness of sins and the eternal life of mankind. The sacraments continually confirm that the Lord has aIlready come and remains with His people.

Christians reject the sleeping God of pantheism as a mere impersonal abstraction. They experience the personal God Who entered history in the person of Jesus. The wonders and signs of Jesus continue to occur today as both physical and spiritual healing. So whether or not Jesus also responds to specific prayers for physical healing, as He did for four-year-old Ann Theresa O'Neil, no Christian can hesitate to proclaim gratefully and exultantly, "Wonders will never cease."

Continued from Page Twelve He noted the sense of puzzle and anticipation with which the people went out to hear the sermons of John (Lk 3, 15).

He' often commented on the sense of wonder and marvel that Jesus induced in the people. He recalled that Jesus warned people that psychological alertness or keeping up with the latest reports may not be the best way to be open to the arrival of the kingdom (Lk 17,20). He set the stage for Christ's parable on perseverance in prayer by writing, "He told them a parable on the necessity of praying and not losing heart" (Lk 18, 1).

The Women While it is common to concentrate on Luke's literary qualities and the inf11uence of his doctor's eye, it must also be noted that he pay an unusual amount of attention to the role of women in the Gospel story.

This is evident in his accounts of the births of John and Jesus.

It is he who records the (\ilemmas of Elizabeth and the beauty of the Annunciation to Mary and her subsequent canticle, the Magnificat.

As women seek a new role in the Church today, they might well meditate on Luke's account of the "ministering women (Lk 8, 1-3). Jesus imparts a new dignity and role to women. Not only will they learn the good Continued from Page Fit·teen

Life In Music

By The Dameans

Let Your Love Flow There's a reason for the sunshine and sky And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high Must be the season when that life light shines all around us.

So let that feeling grab you deep inside And send you reeling where your love can't hide And then go stealin' through the moonlit nights with your love.

.,.

.

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream and let your love grow with~the smallest of dreams and let your love show and you'll know what I mean it's the season.

Let your love fly like a bird on the win~ and let your love bind you to all living things and let your love shine and you'll know what I mean that's the reason.

There's a reason for the warm sweet nl~ts and there's a reason for the candle lights Must be the season when those love lights shine all . around us.

So let that wonder take you into space and lay you under its loving embrace Just feel the thunder as It warms your face You can't hold back.

Just when you begin to think that those leafless trees really did die this winter because they never looked so bare .before - when you think maybe you're going color blind because everything comes up in shades of grey and white there appears the great surprise of spring when nature renews 'her promise of renewal.

Spring is nature's signal to the land that it's the season for starting all over. What was barren can come to life again and what was lost can be reclaimed.

Funny thing about us in spring. The first thing we notice about ourselves is not the energetk and enthusiastic attitude we thought we'd have after the cold days of winter but that lazy just-got-out-of~bed feeling they call spring f~ver. It's almost as if we wished it had stayed cold and dreary so that we would have an excuse to stay in bed. .

The season of spring is automatic in the cycle of nature, but it's not that simple for us. We have to work at it to be alive to the life all around us.

Love is the most evident sign we can give to each other that we are alive. Love makes us different from the rest of nature, which routinely repeats habits and patterns each year.

Love enables us to grow each day and each year - to become more than just older or taller or smarter. Love can increase our capacity to love and to receive love.

Like spring, love is the season for believing in the beauty of every kind of life and the beauty of every kind of person.

Love is the time for warming the earth with the story of life anew and promises come true.

Love is the reward of those who have kept faith in promises during the long days of winter when the cold and dark lived within us ·as well as without. Spring means so much more when one remains hopeful during winter.

Funny how Easter- th~ greatest surprise of all - always comes in the spring. Jesus dead and buried now risen, lives forever as Lord of all creation. He's the reason for all life and calls us to live !1nd share His life - through death. It's the season - Alleluia!

Young World

Something Wonderful

by Tom Lennon You wake up grumpy and know it's going to be a bad day.

At breakfast your Dad bawls you out f'or not eating enough.

In an exam you can't answer four out of seven questions.

During the noon hour you slip in a mud puddle and get all dirty.

After school you and a friend have a fight and cuss each other out. At supper you have another argument with Dad, and this time both of you really get hot.

By bedtime you're mad at yourself, at just about everybody you know, and at God, too. A day of discord ends in bitterness.

We all experience this lack of harmony at times. We sense that something is wrong with us. And when we see a TV newscast on almost any night we are certain that something is awfully wrong with the world at large. Many people are gripped by a sense of despair about the people of Planet Earth.

Can someone heal the wounds of mankind? Long years ago at the beginning of His public life Jesus announced, "The reign of God is at hand!" (Mark 1:15) To His Jewish audience this meant that God was stepping into human history to help people in a way that He never had before.

In the kingdom of God sin and evil would be wiped out; peace and love would prevail.

But it wasn't to happen all at once (how well we know that now!). Jesus used the parables of the mustard seed (Matthew 13:33), and the growing wheat (Matthew 13:24-30) to show that although the kingdom of love had begun, it had yet to reach its fullness. . The many miracles Jesus .worked were signs of the beginning of the kingdom, and they showed He was appointed

to announce the reign of God. But those miracles were not meant to create a sensation or, as we would say, to make headlines. These mighty deeds reflected the power of God; the Jewish people did not regard them as hocus-pocus magic, but simply as the wonderful works of their living, saving God. Quiet Power When Jesus drove demons out of people, it marked the beginning of the end of Satan's power. When He healed cripples and lepers, it was a sign of the healing of mankind's wounds, the cure of our sinful selfishness and lack of harmony.

BY CECILIA BELANGER Q. .I am trying to decide which religion to embrace. I lean toward Christianity but I see it just practiced in part. I don't see the totality of It anywhere.

I know there must be some out there who are wholly Christian, but I have a feeling they are in the minority. Do you have an answer for this? Incidentally, I am a sophomore in college.

Steve R. A. There's a little chapel around the walls of which is the statement: "Thou. shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and strength, and thy neighbor as thyself, and on this hangs all the law and the prophets." The trouble is, most people who try to live the Christian faith will pick out something they see that catches their eye and miss the totality of the faith of-which you speak.

People just quote "love" with no involvement. They will say, "I love my neighbor and that fulfills my responsibility." There are many who cannot understand that kind of love-tongue service, <lip service, whatever you wish to call it. What is love without doing? What is love without justice? Love without justice is empty and justice without love is vicious.

The Christian should always be committed to the problem of balancing and putting together the totality of his Christian faith.

If people who call themselves Christians are to take the name seriously; they are thrust into an unending social consciousness expressed through a thousand different ways within the parameters of sensitivity of the highest nature. There is always that unending struggle between love and justice, and I think what you are finding in your experience is how rarely it seems to be attainable.

The true task of the Christian is to make the goal of justice spoken of by Amos in the Bible, and the profound love expressed in Paul's letters, come to bear in _ every human relationship. How Turn to Page Fifteen

IN THE DIOCESE

By PETER J. BARTEK Norton High Coach

Coyle Only Undefeated Team As Baseball Nears Mid-Season The scholastic schoolboy baseball campaign is almost at the halfway point and at this juncture only one of the 26 teams in the Southeastern Massachusetts Conference is unbeaten in league play. That distinction belongs to Msgr. Coyle-Bishop Cassidy High of Taunton. The War-. ning the title.

If the pennant race follows riors, however, are still a true to form it will go right long way from corraling the down to the wire. Coyle can ill coveted championship trophy.

The undefeated Tauntonians, who are vying for the Conference Division II crown, hold a slim one game advantage over a good Dighton-Rehoboth nine.

The two are slated to meet in a pivotal game tomorrow.

During the second half of the campaign, Coyle can be assured that it will face the best moundsmen opposition have to offer. Fairhaven, Dartmouth and Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro are all within striking distance of the frontrunner. Anyone of the top five teams, in the eight team division, is capable of win-

afford to worry about the one challenger, it must take one game at a time and hope everything falls into line as it has over the first part of the campaign.

When Division II action resumes tomorrow all eyes will be on the Dighton at Coyle contest. But Fairhaven must maintain the pace by beating Case High of Swansea while Feehan and Dartmouth topple Seekonk and Bishop Connolly High of Fall River in their respective. battles. Seekonk and Connolly are both winless in five outings but neither can be taken lightly.

All Divisional Races Will Go to Wire .

While no Division I or HI teams have escaped defeat over the early stages of the campaign, the respective divisional title races are as close as the Division II affair.

In the senior circuit, Division I, Durfee High of Fall River and Taunton share the top spot. Preseason favorite Durfee lost its opening game to Somerset but has since rolled to four consecutive victories to regain the number one position. Taunton, on the other hand, has been somewhat of a surprise thus far. .

The Tigers, who looked mediocre in preseason competition, seem to have found themselves and are playing excellent ball.

Their lone Joss of the season has been to Durfee.

Meanwhile, Somerset has faltered, following the big win over Durfee, and dropped to the middle of the pack. Attleboro and New Bedford both have il-

lustrated that they have the potential to seriously challenge.

They trail the pacesetters by only a single game and must not be overlooked.

Dennis-Yarmouth and Barnstable are clustered with Somerset ;while Falmouth and Bishop Stang High of Dartmouth are way off the pace.

Two important games are on tap tomorrow when Durfee tangles with archrival New Bedford in the Whaling City and Taunton hosts Attleboro. Elsewhere around the circuit Dennis-Yarmouth is at Somerset, Barnstable is at Stang and Falmouth is idle.

In Division III two New Bedford teams and one Cape club are tied for first place entering this week's action. New Bedford Vocational, Holy Family and Bourne appear to be ready to fight it out right down through the final week of the campaign.

All have lost once to date.

Norton Opts to Withdraw from Conference Holy Family will host Bourne tomorrow in the bracket's big game. Voke entertains Wareham, Old Rochester is at home in Mattapoisett to Westport, and St. Anthony of New Bedford travels to Fall River to play Diman Regional to round out the docket. Norton has the day off.

In off the field news, Norton will officially withdraw from the Conference at the conclusion of the 1976-77 scholastic year. The action results from a recommendation made by Athletic Director Howard Kelley to the Norton School Committee. Coach Kelley requested that Norton drop its affiliation with the Conference and seek admission into the Mayflower League. Travel and competitiveness were cited

as the major disadvantages to the Conference. The committee voted, by a narrow margin, to follow the recommendation.

While Norton .has not been formally accepted in the Mayflower loop, it appears as though the action is a mere formality.

Coach Kelley has received verbal oonfirmation that Norton's application will be acted upon favorably.

Since the inception of the multi-team Conference, four years ago, there have been many schools that have threatened to withdraw stating dissatisfaction with travel, alignment or lack of rivalries as the reasons. But, until now none acted on the threat.

Wonderful Continued from Page Fourteen ter and the son of the widow of Nairn, He revealed Himself as the Lord of Life, who could overcome death.

Today the kingdom of love is still growing; the power of God is still at work in the world.

But seldom does this power make headlines. More often it is found at quiet times in quiet places when you patch up a quarrel when you go to Communion or receive the sacrament of Reconciliation ... when you straighten up your bedroom without being told ... when you say a prayer. Such everyday deeds are the wonderful works of love God brings to your life.

Many years from now you may notice that a 'long, slow miracle has occurred in your heart.

It was happening, all unnoticed, in the ordinary events of everyday life. Through the years, you were faithful, as best you could be, to the powerful God who was with you in the struggles, monotony, hardships, and sorrows of life. You hung in there, and love took root, and the kingdom of God grew within you. Someday, years from now, you may be surprised by the joy that fills your spirit and by the hidden miracle of love that filled aU the days of your life, healing you and helping you to become a person who delights the heart of God.

members of the Conference, has found a viable alternative. In the opinion of Norton officials, the Conference did not fulfill expectations and they have opted to follow a different course.

The Conference will survive without Norton. However, its action may cause some of tlre smaller schools in the Joop to re-evaluate their situations. The voice of all Conference schools must be heard, even the small ones, if the league's stated objective is to be reached-to offer equitable conditions to 'all member schools.

How often in the church, yet not always applied to certain of its members? I don't think any responsibility in this world carries a greater mandate. I wish more Christians understood the demand for true discipleship which our faith lays upon us all.

Love, Justice Our prayer should be that with God's help we struggle to understand how to balance love and justice, thrust against the wall of the oommon events of every day and challenged by the turmoil of the world about us.

We 'look at Jesus with long robes in a seemingly simple age and we cry out in prayer that we be shown the way in a complex, violent, warring world.

We need a lot of help in this struggle. We need to help one another get through it. The door that is shut against us is not His. That is the sign. So keep away from those places. You are right.

All that calls itself Christian is not.

I will not try to influence you, but since for us Jesus is the Way, I pray, ,He puts Himself in your way. ' Speak out where necessary.

Do not be intimidated by those who wield authority with au- thoritarian manners. You are your brother's keeper. Never stand idly by while he is being persecuted. This is the haunting and crucial question today as it always has been. I hope you saw the recent television interview with Alexander Solzhenitsyn. No one has ever in this day and age pointed out more prophet. ically the price of silence.

"Continued from Page Thirteen news of the kingdom, but participate in its ministry as well.

Luke documents the curing of the sOn of the widow of Nairn, the daughter of Jairus and the woman with a hemorrhage of 12 years duration, incurable at any doctor's hands. Luke aaso gives the most dramatic account of the sinful woman in the house of Simon the Pharisee.

Returning to the infancy narratives, an old tradition places Luke at Ephesus, which we know he visited with Paul. and where he perhaps interviewed the Virgin Mary, who was said to have retired there with John as her guardian. Some see Luke's story as the poetic and exalted Gospel, which Mary, the Virgin daughter of Zion, sang after she had contemplated this mystery in her heart over the years. She may have communicated this to John-or to Luke directly. At any rate the imprint of Mary, the world's greatest woman, shines through Luke's faithful pen.

A rich heritage indeed from the "dear and glorious physician."
