ill People路Places.Events-NC News Briefs ill Test-Tube Babies

Executions Opposed

WASHlNGTON-Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph Califano has called for additional public comment , before he decides to approve federal funding for research on "test-tube babies" - in vitro fertilization, the creation of human life outside' the womb. Califano's Ethics Advisory Board, established to make recommendations on sensitive ethical issues confronted by HEW, concluded May 4 that in vitro fertilization research was "ethically acceptable" even though there were legitimate ethical arguments against it.

TALLAHASSEE, ,Fla.-Florida's seven Catholic bishops have said they are "saddened and disappointed" that Gov. Robert Graham has signed warrants for the executions of two more convicted murderers. The Flordia bishops have opposed the executions and' ul"ged an end to the state's death penalty law.

Korea Trip Opposed WASHINGTON--President Carter will visit South Korea amid a backdrop of criticisms by Christian groups that South Korean President Park Chung Hee is violating human rights. Many critics feel that Carter's trip will 1end moral support to 'Park's government.

15th State WASHINGTON - Nevada has become ,the 15th state to call for a constitutional convention to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 abortion decision, according to an announcement by Americans for a Con:;titutional Convention.

Unneeded Benefit SPOKANE, Wash.-Priests in the Diocese of Spokane are unhappy about paying for a medical benefit they will never use-maternity care. The diocese learned that it has been paying for maternity benefits for its priests since 1977, when Blue Cross of Washington and Alaska combined the priests policy with those of 1,600 other groups.

Food Shortfall Feared WASHJtNGToN-"The world isn't too much better prepared" to handle a major food shortage than it was during the shortage of 1972-73, according to Maurice Williams, exec,utive director of the United Nations' World Food Council. He warned it is possible that there could be a shortage in the fall and winter of 1980 and 1981 that will be as bad as the one in '72 and '73.

/'Pap~I' Visit Significant NEW YORK - The American Jewish Committee has called Pope John Paul II's visit to the former Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz "a powerful symbol of moral conscience that is of historic magnitude." Rabbi Mar~ Tanenbaum, the committee's interreligious affairs director, later said the pope's pilgrimage may become the most significant development in the effort to advance understanding between Christians and Jews since the Second Vatican Council.

Women Not Equal PHILADELPHIA-Despite Second Vatican Council teachings, the legal condition of women in the church is not equal to that of men, according to Josephite Sister Rose of Lima'McDermott, new assistant to the vicar for Religious in the Philadelphia Archdiocese. She recently became the fourth woman to receive a doctorate in canon law from the Catholic University of'America in Washington.

H'ope for Divorced LODI, N.J.-More than 600 separated and divorced Catholics heard words of love, encouragement and hope at a nay of Celebration sponsored by the Ministry to Divorced Catholics of the Newark

Archdiocese at Felician College in LOOi. "It is true that the church must uphold Christ's teaching on marriage," said New'ark's Archbishop Peter L. Gerety. "At the same time, she must help people who are in pain, and she must above all embrace them with the love of Christ."

Health Screening WASHINGTON - The federal government is stepping up efforts to insure that Indochinese refugees coming into the U.S. do not bring in infectious diseases. Joseph Ca:lifano, secretary of health, education and welfare, said that a check of almost 4,500 chest X-rays of refugees , who arrived in the United States this year found that screening in Southeast, Asia had missed 36 of 50 active cases.

Still Outspoken UMTALI, Zimbabwe Rhodesia-Bishop Donal Lamont of Umtali, temporarily allowed to return to Zimbabwe Rhodesia for the first time in two years, advocated that bishops continue to be outspoken in defense of justice and huma~ rights. "A bishop must not water down his message for the sake of a spurious peace," he said at the consecration of a black priest as auxiliary bishop of Umtali.

the living word

Journey of Faith If there was one lasting impressIOn that permeated the hearts and souls of tho~e who journeyed to Rome for· this year of diocesan jubilee, it would be that the Church is indeed very much on the move.

To be sure, the present Holy Father has captured the minds .and spirit of millions in a manner that is truly a media miracle. Yet Pope John Paul II would be the very first to admit that he is the beneficiary of a modem heritage that is the glory of the papacy in our century.

This inheritance was very much a reality to the people of this diocese as they assembled before the Holy Father.

Representing every area of the diocese, they came to live this heritage at the very altar of St. Pius X. There at tho tomb of the pope who founded the Fall River diocese, his firstborn in America, they prayed that God would continue to guide the bark of Peter and they interceded for all in the diocese.

It was at this altar in the patriarchal basilica of St. Peter, that a sense of the past was brought once more into the reality of the 'present; that a feeling of deep renewal was rejuvenated and that a realization of future providence was sensed. For indeed, the efforts of Pope John Paul II .would not be a reality in today's· world unless his predecessors in this century had built a firm foundation of faith. . There can be little· doubt that the hope of today is a reflection of the faith of yesterday and the present Holy Father is the first prayerfully to acknowledge his own debt to his papal predecessors.

However, one· cannot but be impressed by the unique contribution that he is making to the building and strengthening of the community of faith that is the Church...This was glimpsed by the world in his historic visits to Mexico and Poland. It is seen each week in the great square of the Bernini colonnade.

What was so wonderful to witness in our own jubilee audience was the enthusiasm and love that the young . people of the world and especially those of Itilly showed . the Holy Father. This is indeed a great sign of hope for the future of the Church.

Italy, as such, is in a state of confusion and chaos.

Demonstrations, armed guards and general strikes are the order of the day. Yet in the'person of Peter as reflected in the warmth of John Paul II one can see a rallying point that is going to affect the national life of more than just one country. Even a glance at our own national media coverage of the Holy Father should bring a new sense of this reality to the most cynical American Catholic.

The fact that the jubilee of the diocese of Fall River was personally recognized by the Holy Father and the joy of being.a part of this living historic reality brought to those who travelled to Rome a restored and revived sense of loyalty to the person of Peter. / .

Yet the true meaning of this pilgrimage of faith is to be found not only in our own diocesan celebration but in the joy of renewing and refreshing the faith of our fathers in the successor of Peter, Pope John Paul II. This spirit will truly be a blessing on all the works to be- undertaken as this diocese continues its own journey into hi~tory.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur. June 28, 1979

By

REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY

I'm skeptical about "movements" in general and concerned ,about their capacity to impose social control, rigid discipline and .undeviating conformity.

I had such a reaction about the marriage encounter movement, although its technique, it seemed, ought to be useful.

But recently I served on a

Marriage Encounter Movement Gets A New Convert doctoral dissertation committee.

The dissertation topic was the impact of marriage encounter.

Previous scholarly literature on the impact of encounter-like experience appears to indicate that although they may be enjoyable, their effectiveness is not very great.

The dissertation by Commander Richard Dempsey, USNR, has persuaded me, however, that marriage encounter may be the most effective brief psycological learning experience yet devised. I continue to have grave reservations about the . movement's enthusiasm and the

controls it implies, but on the basis of Father Dempsey's brilliant dissertation, I am constrained to admit the marriage encounter folks have something to be enthusiastic about. .

The dissertation surveyed people just before a marriage encounter, just after it and six weeks later. Those surveyed were compared with those on a waiting list who had yet to make encounters.

Three different tests were administered: a marital adjustment, a marital satisfaction and a self-disclosure inventory. On all three tests, there was no

change in the control group and an extraordinarily strong change in the marriage encounter group.

Moreover, six weeks after the experience the differences between the two groups were increasing. One will have to wait for a follow-up a year after the marriage encounter to make a definite judgment; but one is virtually forced to say that no psychological training experience described in the literature has such an impact.

Father Dempsey explains this by saying that marriage encounter alone, of all similar techniques, does not isolate a

person from his ordinary network of relationships. In fact, the principal "other" in the person's network is also present and the relationship itself is the object of the training experience.

Marriage encounter, I think, ought to do an elaborate and sophisticated national survey, not merely to prove its effectiveness but to obtain better understanding of why and on whom it is effective.

Father Dempsey's research has made a major contribution to Catholic self-understanding.

standard. One, offered by Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin (D-Calif.), chairman of the House communications 'Subcommittee, would grant licenses indefinitely and allow government to regulate broadcasting only when "marketplace forces fail to protect the public interest."

And Beusse noted, " . . . commercial pressures have made the audience for prime-time television older teen-agers, young adults and the affluent, who have money to spend on the products advertised. Children, the poor and the aged have been left out in the cold."

Beusse also points out that broadcasting is important because of its pervasive nature: ,"Communicators broadcast the information and the ideas that are essential to the functioning of society; they help to shape the very ethos of the world in which we live."

Archbishop Bernardin said that his group's meetings with Vatican officials were "part of Ii, continuing dialogue" between the Vatican and U.S. bishops on the norms.

They met with Cardinal Pericle Felici, president of the Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law, and members of his staff, and with Archbishop Aurelio Sabattani, secretary of the Apostolic Signature (supreme court), he said.

We expressed the need for reo taining "three key elements" in the U.S. procedural norms, said Archbishop Bernardin. These are: Permission to use only one judge, instead of the three required .by the general church marriage laws, to decide a case.

- Broadening the competence of diocesan marriage courts, to allow them to handle all cases involving people who are residents of the dio~ese, rather than only cases where the marriage in question took place 'in the diocese.

- A dispensation from the generai law requiring a mandatory appeal to a higher court in every case where the lower ,court decides in favor of nulity.

Father Hoye, ordained in 1972, was vice-officialis of the Fall River marriage tribunal' at the time of his 1977 appointment to Washington.

Hispanics Ask Organization SAN

B'ERNARDINO, Calif.

There must 'be a sense of "proprietorship" in the church among the Chicano poor before they can be involved in the church, Cesar Chavez, president of the United Farm Workers of America, told the 1979 congress of PADRES in San Bernardino.

He asked that the U.S. bishops understand the flight of the campesinos (farmworkers).

Looking weary from lack of sleep, Chavez took a day off from negotiations with lettuce growers in El Centro to meet with PkDRES, an organization of priests working with Hispanic people.

Chavez pointed to the need for a national organization of Hispanic laity, which would be the voice of the poor to the bishops.

"There's no real national organization of laymen. Unless there is - men and women I don't see how the Chicano can respond," Chavez said. "Who do they work through? How does .the Spanish-speaking Catholic make his demands known to the hierarchy?", ' (NC) -

Pope May Visit U.S. Continued from page three than a week and would include visits to several U.S. cities.

Most frequently mentioned as likely stops are New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Also mentioned as a possible stop is Detroit.

The pope's United Nations speech would be to the General Assembly during the opening days of its fall session, which begins on Sept. 17.

An invitation to address the General Assembly was extended to Pope John Paul by U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, who met with him this spring.

It was understood that there was special concern that Pope John Paul visit the U.N. during the first year of his pontificate to underscore his regard for the U.N. A swing through U.S. cities by Pope John Paul would mark the first such tour by a pope.

Several invitations for a papal visit have been extended by the White House.

Like many other aspects of the trip, it remains unsettled where a meeting between Pope John 'Paul and President Carte,r would take place.

Also being planned is an occasion on which the pope would meet with all of the more than 350 bishops of the United States.

A formal announcement of the papal visit is not expected for several weeks, perhaps not until August. .

There were obvious considerations in the case of each city likely to be included in a papal itinerary.

As the site of the United Nations and the United States' major city, New York's inclusion was automatic.

The scheduling of Washington was reported to be dependent in large part on plans for a meeting in the capital with President Carter.

Philadelphia's inclusion reflected the relationship between the pope and Philadelphia's

archbishop, Cardinal John Krol, who is of Polish descent.

Chicago contains a larger Polish 'population than any other U.S. city and the largest Polish population in the world outside of Warsaw.

The inclusion of Los Angeles was seen at reflection of a con-

Evangelization Award to Sheed Frank J. Sheed will be the first recipient of an Award for Lay Evangelization, to be presented to him at a Unity Mass and Commissioning Ceremony Saturday, Aug. 18 at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, D.C. . Inaugurated by the Paulist Fathers, the award recognizes Sheed's "50 years of evangelization as a street preacher, apologist, author, lecturer, publisher and dedicated witness to Christ," said Father Wilfrid E. Dewan, president of the Paulist community.

The presentation will climax the First Annual National Catholic Lay Celebration of Evangelization,a three-day, program of prayer, song and study which will be part of the national evangelization program set into motion by the American bishops.

Over 2500 laypersons, priests and religious are expected to participate in the Washington event, which will offer 25 "how to do it" workshops and evangelization techniques and major presentations by laymen and laywomen already active in the field.

The program is sponsored by the Catholic University of America and the National Shrine in addition to thePaulist community. iJt will be co-hosted by the archdioceses of Washington and Baltimore and the diocese of Arlington and has been endorsed by more than 60 dioceses and national Catholic groups.

Further information is available from' the Paulist Fathers, 3031 4th St., NE, Washington, DC 20017.

cern to make the trip a continental one, reaching across the breadth of the country. A visit there also would give the pope an opportunity for contact with that area's large Hispanic population.

The other West Coast tentative stop, San Francisco, is the residence of the president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop John R. Quinn.

Detroit is the site of St. Cyril and Methodius Seminary at Or chard Lake, which trains seminarians for service to the Polish community in the United States.

Continued from Page Three conference's history that it has brought suit against the federal government. usec officials said the conference in 1978 supported the pregnancy discrimination legislation because its purpose was to extend coverage of pregnancy, childbirth, post-natal care and related matters to pregnant workers covered by a health benfits plan.

But USCC officials also noted that the conference had asked Congress to pass a conscience clause so employers or workers would not be forced to pay for practices to which they have strong religious or moral objections. That amendment, the conference noted, narrowly missed passage.

"The requirement that the NCB and the USCC become the economic means through which abortions are effected, effectively requires those employers to affirm abortion as an illness and a matter of such trivial character as to be considered a fringe benefit," the suit notes.

"Such compulsion is not only an outrageous affront to the conscience of (the USCC and the NCCB), but is also an action on the part of Congress forbidden by the First Amendment," the suit contends.

The suit contended that to force employers to pay for abortions agains their wishes would be' like forcing citizens to contribute to political causes they don't want to support or forcing citizens to "advertise ideologic slogans for which they did not agree:'

Before the

present candidates even began formal studies a home visitation program gave their children an opportunity to ask questions and realize their role in their father's response to his vocation. Family days have been held, during, Which the present deacon candidates, their wives, children, grandchildren and sundry inlaws have shared a program of knowledge and growth in a spirit of joy and fun.

This year a family retreat will be held for all the deacon candidate's families. A program has been formed fot;' chiidren from one to eight and eight to 12. A special teenage day of recollection will be offered. All in all, is is another attempt to involve the entire family in the diocesan diaconate program.

It is very important that these family activities expand as the program itself grows and develops. To be sure, much more perhaps could he done. However, with the basic concept of family involvement an essential element of the overall Permanent Diaconate program, a form foundation has been put in place for future development.

The fact that a daughter or son has a father preparing to be ordained to the diaconate places upon these young people certain ~ocial pressures among their own peers. A program that would ignore this fact is one that does not see how ~mportant it is for the children of a deacon candidate no matter how old they are, to be involved in the formation program from the very outset.

This unique situation that enters into the life of a family also places certain obligations on the members of that family. Not that a man is to be judged as worthy or unworthy solely because of the virtues or failings of his children; yet he is their father and this concept of "Abba" must be a" permeating factor in his family life. His family must be his first church.

It is in this context that he will truly live out his prime obligation of diaconal ministry.

It lists 45 members and their topics, most to be presented three times· during the congress weekend. Also inciuded is a "personal schedule," designed to help congress-goers make their way through the many activities to be offered, centered on the theme of "Families: Living, Learning, Serving."

__HoS

Father Bowen is a priest of the Fall River diocese on leave to work with the Society of StJames in Bolivia.

The following article. coneludes. his two-part series on organization of a Grower's Association among his parishiollt!rs. .

Part Two

It has been constantly stressed that the Association exists not only for the economic and agricultural interests of the people but also as a' means of confronting and solving. their multiple socio-cultural problems. With this intention, in the most recent seminar people from the fields of health, nutrition, community 'development and organization and rural education were invited to speak on these brOader goals.

It can ·be said, then, without intending any pun, that the Growers' Association seeks literally to give roots to the Gospel. This goal is based on the conviction that the Gospel is capable of summoning a faith response that 'arises not from some esoteric teaching but rather from evidence of belief and hope in a God clearly allied with his people in their most basic daily conc~rns.

This means doing theology, not from the academic halls of North American and European seminaries and universities but rather from the concrete experiences of a people's struggle for justice and freedom.

It's a theology and mission that start with a people's hunger, poverty, oppression, suffering. fatigue, aspirations and . anxieties. Working in this way is a much more logical and certainly a more evangelical way of presenting the Gospel as a message that seeks to change . men's lives with its promise for making a better world now as the indispensable staging for the final realization of the Kingdom of God in the future. . . All of this hrings in its wake some interesting theological implications, to which we may not De accustomed. It means, for instance, that the Church can no longer be seen as a place into • which we are called to be "saved." Rather, church is a mission of service to the larger

When Does One Become an" Alcoholic?

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

Dear Dr. Kenny: My husband drinks a few mar-, tinls before dinner each night.

He has wine with dinner and usually a few beers later in the evening. He gets sleepy and crabby. I blame it on the drinking but' he says no. At parties he drinks enough to get loud and noisy. This has been going on for years. I want him to do something about his drinking, but he says he can handle his alcohol. When does a person become an alcoholic?

A. An alcoholic is a person whose drinking causes significant life problems. That's my definition. In that sense your husband is already an alcoholic, since drinking is causing him problems with his wife.' My reasoning is that if drinking were not so important and necessary for him, he would change or stop his drinking to accomodate his wife's wishes. In fact, his drinking is more important than your wishes.

When drinking become~ a problem for a person in an important life area such as marriage or career, the drinker has several ways of defending him-

self. One common approach is to say as your husband has: "\I can handle it." This means he feels in conscious control of his decision to drink. It avoids the issue of the problem or pain his drinking causes others.

"I can stop anytime I want to" is another common defense which ignores the obvious fact that he has not stopped. To be able to stop is irrelevant if you don't stop.

Finally, some persons'feel alcoholism is only present when there are physical symptoms. No blackouts, "no unconsciousness, no DT'sj no liver damage adds up to no alcoholism. In fact, by the time physical symptoms appear, irre\rersible damage may have been done to the body.

Yet irreversible damage can also be done to marriages, jobs and 'other lives ,by drinking.

Drinking is a frequent factor in divorce. Drinkfng is the most common reason for job absenteeism. Drinking is the single greatest cause of traffic fatalities.

The college student who misses classes because of drinking or who risks expulsion by hiding liquor in his room is an alco-

In the Good ,Old

holic. The employee who misses work because of drinking is an alcoholic. The driver who drinks is an alcoholic. To need a drink so badly that you are willing to risk another's life and limb is a truly serious matter. The weekend binge' that interferes with important friendships is the action of an alcoholic.

In all these cases the drinker chooses drink ahead of other options which are serious and important to him: the happiness of his spouse, a college degree, a job, safe driving. To put alcohol ahead of these priorities means that alcohol is more important. In such a situation, the drinker is not on the road to alcoholism. He is already there.

You will get nowhere with your husband until he accepts his drinking as his problem, not yours. You have told him your problem, namely, that his drinking bothers you. Drinking becomes his problem when he does not change or stop.

KNOW YOUR FAITH NC NEWS

Christinas in June?

By Father Joseph

M~

Cfu!rnplin

It may seem ridiculous to discuss Christmas in a parish during June.

However, experience indicates that on the parish level programs which have an effective impact on people require extensive long-range planning.

Developments in American society indicate an increasing need for Christian families to counteract the, rapid secularization of Christmas. No longer can we expect our environment to convey what Jesus' birth means for the world.

In addition, the twin tendencies of commercialization and consumerism are growing and intensifying. Gift buying, giving and receiving can absorb all our energy, thus diminishing appreciation for the religious dimensions of the feast.

What I am suggesting is a concerted, extended parish plan similar to the "Keep Christ in Christmas" programs whiclt

spring up from time to time.

A homily on a summer Sunday could look at: the relationship between contemporary culture and Christianity with words about the importance of Catholics being "light" for others. A specific application to Christmas and the purchase of religious greeting cards would bring this down' to the practical level. Such early consciousness raising might lead parishioners to make more discerning judgments, about the type of Christmas messages they will send.

- An occasional bulletin reminder in the fall could recall that message.

- Just prior to Advent, an~ other major homily could sketch the danger of consumerism and the value of a simpler approach to Christmas gift giving.

Homemade gifts; personal messages of love instead of multiple purchased presents, more limited lists of expectations in children, the notion about greater joy in giving than in receiving

are illustrations of the approach which can be urged.

- During Advent, parish leaders should emphasize existing traditions which dramatize the coming of the Lord: an Advent wreath for every house; 'a candle ceremony at each weekend Mass; a' celebration on the feast of St. Nicholas; a large Jesse tree prepared and decorated by the elementary religious education students.

- Large manger scenes on lawns, miniature nativity figures in the home and Christ candles by the window remind residents of what the' feast is about and communicate that message to neighbors and passersby.

- Gatholic merchants could use window space to display not only their wares, but the Bethlehem scene.

Talking about Christmas in June really is not a foolish discussion for parish leaders who wish their community to be a light for others.

Christmas in June?

, Cornelia Connelly 路 Woman Of Principle

By Father Alfred McBride If someone wrote a novel us-

ing Cornelia Connelly's life as the plot, critics would, dismiss it as too melodramatic, while devout church people would consider it an offensive caricature ' of a nun's life.

Born of a prominent Philadelphia family in 1809, Cornelia Augusta Peacock was the youngest of six in a household of ambitious, caring parents. At 22, she married Pierce Connelly, an Episcopalian rector. Four years, later, both entered the Catholic Church. In the first year of their conversion they visited Rome and other parts of Europe, after which they returned to the United States to settle down into what promised to be an un"eventful married life. Pierce taught English at a Jesuit col~ lege and' Cornelia taught music at a Sacred Heart convent. They had four children.

Tragedy struc~ when their youngest son died as a result of falling into a tank of boiling sugifr cane. Soon afterwards Pierce told his wife that he wanted to be a priest. He could hardly have brought this up at a more inapportune time, since Cornelia was pregnant with their fifth child. More over, he was imposing 'an unusual burden upon her. Not only would she have to give her consent, but she w01J.ld have to take a public vow of chastity and plan on becoming a nun. Nevertheless, ~rneli~ accepted her husband's request.

Encouraged by a Jesuit friend, John Grassi, she decided, to found a congregation of teaching'sisters. Cardinal Wiseman invited her to England where she established the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. At first 'she and her compa~ns lived in Derby and taught mght school for Catholic girls. Then they moved to Sussex. Here Cornelia started a school for the poor and one for the middle class.

Then Pierce came on the scene again. He had renounced his priesthood and Catholic faith and insisted on resuming family life.

He made sure the world knew about his determination to make a Catholic nun, foundress of a

religious order, resume her marital commitment. He embarrassed her by his appearances and amplified t~ shame by making headlines in the newspapers of the day.

But Cornelia was not swayed.

She would not abandon her responsibilities to her sisters and to her schools and' students: Pierce made matters worse by taking their children out of Catholic schools. He forbade them to see their mother and she lost practically all contact with them. All became lapsed Catholics, except for one who returned to the church after her mother's death.

,For Children

By Janaan Manternach One day Jesus decided to go into the mountains to find a quiet place to pray. But he didn't want to go alone. So he asked his three closest friends, Peter, James and John, to go with him.

As they climbed the mountain, they talked about what was happening in their lives. A week earlier they had been at Caesa路 rea Philippe. There Peter had said he thought Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah. There, too, Jesus had told his friends he would have much to suffer in the coming weeks. He said his enemies would capture and kill him.

All this was puzzling. Peter, James and John hope4 Jesus ,would explain things more today. But as they climbed, Jesus said little.

By afternoon they reached the top of the mountain. They sat down to rest and eat. Soon Jesus slipped off to pray. His friends were tired and went to sleep.

Suddenly something 'Woke them. They were startled at what they saw and heard. It wa搂 such a marvelous experience that they could not even talk about it for many months. Only after Jesus' resurrection did they share with 'the world what that experience on the mountaintop meant to them.

How Can ILearn to, Pray?

By ,Father Adrian van' Kaam

St. Paul asks us to pray always. That may seem impossible, yet we know from many lives that prayer can become a way of life. How can we learn to pray 'that way?

We only learn to pray' by praying. We should not restrict ourselves to reading books about prayer, as lovers should not be satisfied rea4ing books about love. Not everything about prayer can be put into words. Even the words of the Scriptures about prayer will only mean something when ~e try to live and experience them.

Spme say learning to pray is learning to talk to God. That is true but it does not go' far enough. It may give us the impression that God is distant. We have to learn also that he is near, truly within us.

Others teach prayer as conversation. That is nearer the truth. God responds to us although we cannot hear_him as we can a friend's voice. It takes time to learn' how to hear his silent voice.

Some say we must learn to think about Christ, the saints, the mysteries of faith. That makes sense too. That kind of prayer is called meditation. It comes naturally, for we all meditate, though not always on our faith. ' Meditation becomes prayerful when it. is on the knowledge and love of God. Learning this kind

of prayer helps us gain interest in God and his word. The disadvantage may be that we see God as outside ourselves and we get caught in, speculations and games' of the wind rather than learning to love and admire the Lord.

Others tell us to develop a personal relationship with God. They compare that way of learning with the growth of a human relationship. It路 begins with conversation, then understanding each other more and more. Finally, there emerges love. If love grows deeper, we need fewer words; we can be silent together.

Learning to pray this way can be helped by imagining ourselves in close relationship to Jesus as we know him from the Gospels.

Transfiguration

By Father John J. Castelot The story of the transfiguration is a masterful piece of theological writing. It is, in 'essence, a profession of the early church's faith in Jesus Christ's identity and his central role in salvation history, a role at once time-conditioned and timeless.

For Children Continued from Page Twelve When they woke up, they said, Jesus seemed filled with light two men were talking with him. One was Moses, who had died centuries before and who led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt into freedom. Moses met God on a mountain, perhaps this very mountain. There God gave him the law and commandments.

The other man was the prophet 'Elijah. He too, had lived long ago. The Bible said he did not die like everyone else. God took him to himself in a flaming chariot. The Jews of Jesus' time expected Elijah to come to prepare the way for the Messiah. . Peter, James and Jdhn stared with amazement. What did' this mean? Was Jesus the new Mo~es, the Messiah? Was Elijah there to make this known? What were they talking about with Jesus?

The disciples listened carefully. Jesus was talking with Moses and Elijah about what would soon happen in Jesusalem. They were saying Jesus would die there, but that he would pass through death to a new life. He would lead all people to new freedom with God. Peter, James and John were frightened. Not knowing quite what to say; Peter blurted, "Rabbi, how good it is for us to be here! We'll make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." Jesus did not answer.

How Can I? Continued from Page Twelve This way of prayer is excellent as long as it satisfies us, but God may call us gradually to a more spiritual prayer.

Another deeper way of learning to pray is to try to live in God's presence. This is the beginning of always praying as St. Paul recommends. We try in a relaxed way to become aware of his presence all the time we are awake. Gradually awareness of his presence becomes an underlying theme of our life. "Be still and know that 1 am God," says the psalmist.

Learning to pray is as basic to our spiritual life as learning to breath is to the life of a newborn infant. It will not always be easy. There are periods in which praying seems empty and dull, but there are also periods of indescribable peace and love.

Remaining in God's presence is the condition of always praying. How do we keep in touch with our family, our best friends? By visits, letters, telephone calls, conversations, a prayer, a memory.

Remaining in God's presence happens somewhat in the same way. Jesus gave the example.

Time and again he created a moment of stillness in his life to be alone with God. These moments flowed over into the.rest of his life. He was always abiding with his Father. To follow the way' of Jesus is to create moments of stillness in our own lives; to pay attention to God's words as they come to us in Scripture or at. Mass.

Then a huge white cloud settled over the mountain. Jesus' three friends knew the cloud was a sign of God's presence with them. It was on the mountain when God gave Moses the law.

Peter, James' and John bowed low to the ground. They heard a strong voice coming from the cloud. "This is my Son," said the voice of God. "I love him very much. Listen to' him." They knew God was talking about Jesus.

Transfiguration Continued from Page Twelve Jesus harked the climax and focal point of that history, the event giving meaning to both the old and the new. But he is portrayed also in the timelessness of his risen glory, as the Christian church now knew him, and the divine proclamation goes out to all ages: "This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to him" (Mark 9,7).

The placing of this magnificent tableau in the present con· text gives it an immediate relevance in the structure of the Gospel. It is linked chronologically with the preceding scene o.t Caesarea Philippi, furnishing an intensive commentary on Jesus' recognition as ¥essiah by Peter and his own ensuing prediction of ,his fate. As for the latter, Luke tells us he was talking to Moses and Slijah "of his passage (exodos) which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem" (9,31). And the misunderstood Messiah is now presented in the light of resurrection faith as the glorious, risen Lord.

This picture is like an intricate mosaic into whose composition various symbolic pieces and subtle allusions have entered.

The setting itself - the "high mountain" - suggests a majestic revelation of extraordinary significance. This is the first of a series of elements expressing the Moses motif and the Sinai revelation: the enveloping cloud, the overwhelming majesty, the presence of Moses, the tent.

Other features are reminiscent of apocalyptic passages dealing with the Son of Man in the Bible,' especially in Daniel, and in apocryphal writings like Henoch and 2 Esdras: the vision, the presence of Elijah, the fear, the dazzling vesture, the conversa· tion, the command to secrecy.

The transfiguration account is a cry of faith inviting a response of faith on tile part of all "people in the (risen) life of Jesus."

Looking around they no longer see anyone with them - only Jesus" (Mark 9,8), and they hear the Father's voice urging: "Listen to him!" (9,7).

focus on· youth •..

B y Charlie MartJn

By Cecilia Belanger

People scoff at those who talk about temperance. But I've often wondered where they are when the mangled bodies of young people have to be pried loose from cars? Are they at the bedside of the dying youth.. in hospitals? Are they there to comfort those in wheelchairs? Are they in the institutions where the mind no longer functions?

Where are all the wise guys who laugh when they should be crying?

Is it funny to see another person staggering words blurred, making a fool of himself or herself? The great evil is loss of the spiritual. The intemperate human being divests .himself, for a time, of rational and moral behavior, casting out self-consciousness and self-command. He and those who aid and abet him sin against their rational nature.

How un-funny can you get?

"Why do you drink?" is a question I've often asked - boys and girls.

Here are the answers: "I drink becaus~ the stuff is always around. If my parents didn't drink, I wouldn't go out and buy it. f spend my money on records."

"I drink because everyone does. Don't they?"

"I drink to forget I'll never make it. Too many things stacked up against me. Besides, nobody care if I make it or not."

"All my friends drink; If I don't, they'll think I'm a freak."

"I can't stand the pressure,. that's why I drink. People expect too much."

"I drink because I like to. No other reason."

-~

"I never thought there was any thing wrong with drinking because everyone in our family drank. I can't remember when there wasn't drinking in our house. I'm not happy about it, but nobody cared what I thought."

We all suffer because of the rising rate of alcoholism among . youth and adults. Many alcoholics were once dependable, but alcoholism crept up noiselessly.

It binds its first cords sometimes with the first drink. Youth does not see or suspect the consequences of the sparkling beverage. The invalid does not see it in the beverage the physician prescribes. Men and women of genius detect 'no poison in the draught which seems to provide . a spring of inspiration.

There are those who blame the alcoholics themselves for their weakness. Others blame society for increasing temptation and diminishing the will to resisit it.. \

To help people we must act on theni inwardly.. Young people who have won the battle against alcoholism tell me they turned

Yes I can I have been waiting such a long time for today Written by: Robert Lamm, sung by Chicago, (c) 1975, _CBS, Inc. "Saturday in the Park" captures summer feelings. 'It is a personal reflection of a July 4 experience in New York's Central Park, but the images could fit any home town park, for they speak of the spirit of celebration of most summer days.

Within these images is also sketched an invitation that we extend summer's special perspective on life to all seasons. Confusion can crowd out the gentler sounds in the wind. We can lose sight of the world's varied colors as our lives fade into grays of dull boredom.

'But with summer's arrival we put aside our b~~les., Sunshine entices us to rediscover tennis courts, th~,laziness of ~e beach, and the solitude of the forest trail. The long,warm evenings lead to even longer discussions with friends. Before we have time. to think about it, we are living a more expanded life.

Summer teaches us to look beyond ourselves to the world around us and the richness of interacting with it. Such an understanding leads to the challenge in the song: "Will you ihelp him change the world?" This challenge is developed in terms of really seeing, enjoying, and touching our world. We are invited to embrace life's experiences and be less fearful of how they will affect us.

God',s gift of summer is a marvelous opportunity. We see again that our lives are meant to harmonize with the world. May al:l our summer celebrations deepen our appreciation for God's gift of life in us!
