Carinal Suenens made it plain at a big London press confer· ence that this is his view but said he had at times been widely misquoted on the subject.

"It was said I was in favor of priests getting married but I was speaking about married people becoming priests, which is a very diffe~ent problem," he stressed. .

Platform Shows Changes., In ,Catholic Education WASHINGTON (NC) - ' The . first platform ever issued by the National Catholilc Educational Association shows how things have changed since Catholic education's early days, an NCEA official said here.

'For one thing, said Father C. Albert Koob, O. ·Praem, NCEA president, a specific platform was not even necessary before.

"Decisions on Cathlic education '.were, made by members of. the hierarchy, or religious' superiors," he said., "When orders were given, everything was carriedout as a matter of routine.'

'It 'was a different way of life than we're accustomed to now."

But as Catholic, education grew and developed,administra-' tive procedures changed, new problems arose and new issues were raised. State and. 'federal aid, racial equality, lay involve,ment, tI:te so-called "knowledge explosion" were discussed with .increasing frequency. , A position statement from NCEA, representing 5.5 million 'Catholi~ stu~ents, 206,000 edu<;ators·. and over 14,000 educational institutions" seemed, appropriate, Father Koob said, NCEA's platform, two years in the making, notes there is "no justification nor need for any education under Catholic aus,pices that is not recognized by the hallmark of excellence."

"There's been a change of thinking among Catholic educators from a position where it was better to have children in aQY_ Catholic school rather than put them in public schools," Father Koob told NC News. "To the modern Catholic, if it isn't quality education, it isn't acceptable."

CINCINNATI (NC)-Cincinnati Archbishop Paul F. Leibold called on prison chaplains to "awaken our people" to the need for treating prisoners as human 'beings and of changing prisons to correctional centers rather than "breeding places of crime."

Speaking at the bishops' luncheon of the American Catholic Correctional Chaplains' Association here the archbishop told his audience that prisoners have always been entwined in the Christian message.

"John the Baptist was martyred in prison. Christ was taken prisoner, held overnight in prison, and in His dying breath opened heaven to a condemned criminal. He told His apostles to expect to be taken prisoner.

"The apostles probably spent as much time in prison as they did in the pulpit. We honor St. Peter in Chains; St. Paul proudly calls himself a 'prisoner of the Lord.' " Archbishop Leibold cited "our greatest living Catholic hero," Bishop James E. Walsh, M.M., just released after 12 years of confinement by the Chinese communists, and Pope John XXIII, "who did not consider it ,out of place to spend his first Christmas as .Holy Father in a Roman prison," where he visited convicts.

The archbishop also urged prison chaplains to "make every effort to awaken our people" to the need of making special provision for "the new breed of criminal"-LSD victims, revolutionaries, "misdirected idealists, the sorry products of our permissive society"-instead of "throwing them into confinement with a totally different breed of criminaL"

Personal Life of Frost Revealed in Biography

The second volume of Lawrel1ce Thompson's massive I biography, Robert Frost (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 383 I Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. $15), .is dubbed I "The Years of Triumph, 1915-1938."

But in his personal life, he ,)Vas far from triumphant.

By

RT. REV.

MSGR. JOHN S.

KENNEDY

Frost had passed his 40th year when, in 1915, he brought his family back from England.

It was in England that he first achieved some notice for his poetry, and he set about getting like attention in his native U.S.A. It came. But by no means did it come altogether spontaneously.

Frost worked assiduously, often trickily, to bring it about. He did not wait for his poetry to attract acclaim on its own merits.

Rather, he cultivated people who were in a position to publicize and promote it.

This practice he continued throughout the years covered by the present portion of his life story. The spectacle is not a pretty one.

The public image of Frost is that of a rugged, ruggedly honest, uncaringly independent countryman, of homely strengths and excellences. But, in fact, as his biographer demonstrates, he was a crafty and sometimes unscrupulous self-promoter. He could brook no rivals.

Genuine Poet For Frost, friendship meant favor: i.e., friends were always to serve his advantage. In family life, he showed himself equally selfish. The story of his relationship with wife and children is dark and distasteful.

"It was 9bvious to him that there must always be a conflict between a man's devotion to his art and his devotion to wife and children." Granted. But it is not of its nature an insoluble conflict, and the solution need not be at the' family's expense.

Frost was a genuine poet, and an important one, although not of the first rank. His verse, as sampled in these pages, has enduring value.

It might be better if we rested content with what he wrote, and did not seek to acquaint ourselves as extensively with him as Mr. Thompson enables us to do.

Episcopalians Start Youth Ministry Supplements Regular Work of Agenci·es

HOUSTON (NC)-The Episcopal Church launched a new ministry among young persons while endorsing more traditional ministries at its 63rd triennial conven· tion here.

Departing from a 400-year-old tradition, the bishops also voted to try out a new practice allowing unconfirmed young children to partake of the Lord's Supper in Holy Communion. The shift would put Episcopal custom more in line with that of Roman Catholics.

In the midst of all the current political activity, one reaction from most people keeps coming through again and again: what a great deal of money is being spent on advertising and especially in the field of television. This gives rise to several fears. Is .limitless wealth the price for election? And again, is it possible for a less .than worthy candidate to be maneuvered into office-· by the skillful build-up at the hands of professional advertising men. -Is a candidate, in other words, a package" to be sold to the public as one would sell soap - at the expense of absolute truth and with a poetic license of exaggeration bordering on the absurd.

Perhaps the answer lies in the English system where the ~ime period for campaigning is limited. And ,perhaps, too, there should be a limit on the amount of advertising, at least in the area of the very powerful and sometimes deceptive medium of television.

But the spending of many thousands of dollars ~nd even millions of dollars on the campaign of a single person- indicates that the campaign trail is getting out of hand .completely.

Actual Spirit":al Performance The distinguished Dom Hubert van Zellar of Downside Abbey in England has placed a finget on a very sensitive and mo~t important area of. Christian life and Ienewal in a letter to The Tablet, an English weekly newspaper.

He writes that while there is much interest in the Church of the future, renewal, the flowering ·of fraternal love, social responsibility, respect for the individual conscience, liturgical change, there is yet ·something lacking.

"Unless from all this there emerges the worship of God from the heart,· collectively and personally, the energy expended may well be purely natural."

He writes that "zeal for new expressions of service is not itself service, and certainly not a substitute for the supernatural response of the soul."

He urges that attention be paid to the actual spiritual performance. "Any fool can decide whether or not he likes the vernacular Mass, whether or not he agrees with a liberal interpretation of Scripture, whether he would like to see a married clergy, whether he thinks the defection' from _the prie~thood and the religious life will have a purifying or a weakening effect in the long' run,' but it takes a soul of generosity to get on with the work of deep, personal, day-to-day prayer."

How true this is.

Pope John in calling Vatican Council II said that its purpose was' to make the Church's holiness more evident and to bring about a greater measure of holiness in its children. This primary fact must not be lost in the midst of _controversy and 'experimentation and speculation.

Prayer, the growth of the interior life, union with .God, the practice of penance-all this is, renewal. And withou,t this there may be a change of externals but no renewal at all.

Continued from Page One Nothing will I be required in such Ii- unity, the Pope added, "that would diminish the prestige due the Anglican Church or that would diminish the good patrimony of piety and customs proper for the Anglican Church, when this Roman Catholic Church, this humble 'servant of the servants of God', can em- . brace her ever-beloved sister in the unique and authentic communion of Christ's family," In March, Auxiliary Bishop Christopher Butler of Westminster, England, suggested that in a united Catholic-Anglican Church under the primacy of the Pope, the Pope would become patriarch of the Western, or Latin, rite and the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury patriarch of the English rite. ' The canonization of the 40 English and Welsh .martyrs was attended by at least 10,000 English and Welsh pilgrims.

Among the 40 newly declared martyr-saints were three Carthusian monks, one Bridgettine monk, one Augustinian, 14 diocesan priests, nine. Jesuits, two Franciscans, three Benedictines, four laymen and three laywomen.

Ecumenism and conciliation were keynotes at the canonization ceremony. In marked contrast with the canonization 35 years before of the English martyrs St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, this ceremony was attended not only by the British government's minister to the -Holy See but by a representative of Anglican Archbishop Michael Ramsay of Canterbury.

At the ceremony, Pope Paul spoke of "the humility, the gratitude. and the hope" with which he welcomed the Archbjshop of Canterbury's representative and other Anglicans.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Justice Department will soon file a "friend of the court" brief in the U. S. Supreme Court supporting the constitutionality of a Pennsylvania law providing state aid for nonpublic schools, NC News learned here.

- Sees Improvement But Prelate Says Church Problems Still Exist in Yugoslavia I WASHINGTON (NC) - The conditions of the life of the Church in Yugoslavia are better than they used to be, but problems in Church-state relations still exist, a leading Catholic churchman from that country said here.

Archbishop Fr:anjo Kuharic of Zagreb, president of the Yugoslav Catholic bishops' conference, spoke about his homeland in an interview here.

The materialistic ideplogy current in Yugoslavia can create problems for the Church, the archbishop said. "The situation is in evolution,. it's changing," he said.

"The Church is $eparate from the state," he continued. "According to the existing laws, we of the Church can give religious instruction only in churches or rooms iti parish buildings. We are not happy with this situation because the education given in state schools is based on materialism. The scientific," for state educators, "signifies materialistic.

"Children of religious parents are educated in atheistic views," Archbishop Kuharic said, noting that such a situation causes problems, not only for Catholics in Yugoslavia, but also

for the country's Orthodox, Protestants, Jews and Moslems.

Commenting on the status of religious education beyond the elementary and secondary levels, the archbishop said: ,We have catechetists for university students but their number is limited.

In. Croatia (the Yugoslavian re. public of which Zagreb is the capital), we have a center for the publication of Croatian and foreign Catholic books and periodicals for intellectuals.

"In Zagreb, we have an institute for the theological formation of lay people. There are also independent Catholic theology faculties for the education of the clergy in Croatia and Slovenia (another of Yugoslavia's six con-. stituent republics)" "Many young Croatians go outside the country to work," the archbishop said. "We are now sending priests with them, as many priests as we can. They minister to the Croatian workers in· Austria, Germany, France, Switzerland and elsewhere.

Archbishop Kuharic was iIi. Washington for the consecration and dedication of the chapels of Our Lady of Bistrica and of Our Lady of Peace at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception' here.

Why, it wasn't that long ago that I wrote a column stating that pantsuits would become popular but that they couldn't be worn everywhere. Again this columnist must eat crow, and admit that pantsuits are being worn and looking appropriate just about everywhere.

Banks are allowing their employees to wear this fashion, most .offices are joining in 'and even hospitals told their nursing staffs ,that they have the green light to join the pantsuit brigade.

Suitable for Teachers Schools have alwa-¥s been an area that has' upheld strict dress codes but they too are beginning to realize that what is being worn doesn't have as much bear-. ing on what is being taught as they had believed. Also I'm sure that here too authorities realize that pant outfits are a lot easier to work in than mini skirts, especially in the lower grades where teachers spend so much time bending over, to help the little ones.

What many opponents of pantsuits for the professional woman don't realize is that a pantsuit is not in the same category as slacks. It doesn't have the casual air of slacks and a sweater or slacks 'and a blouse. In fact, in many instances a well tailored pant suit has just as. much a look of the classic as does a smartly tailored suit and for the right figures it has more of the look of the seventies.

Figure-wise, it's a great boon

Canisius College Has Protestant Chaplain BUFFALO (NC)-A Lutheran pastor was appointed here as the first Protestant chaplain in the history of Catholic-founded Canisius College.

Father James M. Demske, S.J., college president, said the Rev. Carl G. Olin Jr., was hired because "there is an increasing . number of non-Catholic students at the college (> ¢ ¢ so the campus ministry should reflect this reality."

Rev. Mr. Olin, former pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in suburban Eggertsville, is a graduate of the State University of Buffalo and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

Church Leaders Call for United Christian Effort WORCESTER (NC) - Leaders of Christian churches in New England have issued a joint pastoral letter calling for a united effort against racism, war and social discord.

Written at the New England Consultation of Church Leaders, which brought together 35 Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox bishops and other churchmen of the' six New England states, the pastoral expressed "the conviction that-even in a troubled world - peace, justice and brotherhood can be realized by all men."

The text of the pastoral was released here by Catholic Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan of Worcester, chairman of the consultation.

He said the pastoral letter is "one of concern and a call to renewal" adding that "it points to the person of Christ as the source of power for social change, parish renewal and personal commitment."

Common Goals Bishop Flanagan said the letter had been drafted because participants in the consultation "sensed a need' to communicate with their people and their associates in the clergy." Its publication, he said, "points toward greater ecumenical cooperation in New England."

It is certainly not original to suggest that a Vatican, Council III is seriously needed.

'Sunday, Night Cultur'e Hour , Hit With Children, Pf;lrents ,By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

Most parents realize that their' children's vocabularies ,and knowledge at their present state of growth far exceeds their own capacities at' a similar age. Television is probably the reason for the broad vocabulary and the general awareness of facts and issues to Breakfast is still one of' the which we were never exmost hectic meals of the day. posed. This knowledge exBecause my 'most avid moyie-goplosion has had a great many ing days took place during the

,-..

effects on the very' young and we as adults have not fully recognized what changes will ensue in 'future generations. Most such changes will be postive but there are. one or two negative features which we must take into account.

One problem is that in getting so much exposure children may be overlooking quality in being inundated with quantity. For this reason we have started a "culture hour" at home for the purpose of exposing the children to good writing and poetry. We picked up the idea from Jean Kerr who wrote a piece for one of the popular magazines abo~t her experience with teaching her children poetry.

Very simply our hour works this way: each child is expected to memorize a poem of his or her choice and the two ,girls are, expected to read an assigned book which we discuss on Sunday evening. We have been doing this'now for about 10 weeks and the results have been quite surprising. , Patterns of Taste First of all, the kids seem to really enjoy it. I would have thought that having to learn a poem 'Ii week would be a chore, but thus far each child including Jason, has learned his or her poem with a minimum of prodding. Among others the children ~ave learned poems by Frost, Housman, T.S. Eliot" Poe, the .

Brownings and Emily Dickinson.

Already patterns of taste are starting 'to emerge, Melissa enjoying the D)odern poets, Meryl the more classic types, but this , is to be expected.

Our readings vary according to ,time allotment but thus far we have read Twain, E.B. White, O. Henry, Poe, Dylan Thomas, and quite a few of the children's authors. It is only recently that the children have really begun to discuss the books aside from story line" but in the past few weeks they have begun to discuss such things as style, language etc. Thus far our hour has been an unqualified success.

Aside from the literary value of our hour though something else has emerged which has even more value and that is that we have something in 'common to discuss. Both Marilyn and I read the selections so that we have something to offer and this means that four members of the family have something in common.

Jason of course has to be excluded from this since he has the very great deficiency of being unable to read. In these days of the generation gap it isn't a' bad idea to have something of substance to discuss as a family and to allow differences to emerge, in taste rather than in "" personal matters.

In aiDe Kitchen

Suggests Americans Take Sensitivity Exposure Test There are some lines "from 'T. s. Eliot· which came back to me the other day: "And the wind shall say: 'Here 'were decent godless' people.

The tragedy of revolutionary times like ours, with all others involved, a certain politithe anticipation of some- cal skill and careful' strategies, problem solvers run the risk of thing new in man's' history treating symptoms, not causes,

By

REV. P. DAVID FINKS

With mounting anger many Americans are being distracted from asphalt roads and the pursuit of golf balls by events they don't understand. Very few are making any attempt to define what is happening. "As a result," writes Kenneth Keniston, "the symptoms of the crisis have constantly been confused with its causes, while the best efforts of both young and old have been wasted in. episodic attacks on . these symptoms."

No one really wants to be bothered and that's how things get so bad. In a neighborhood, at General Motors, or in Vietnam, events happen, 'decisions are made, lives of children and grandparents are affected, and yet the people involved remain passive onlookers. . And better information ·about these events has proved insufficient to commit us to an actual share in the process of understanding, problem solving, deci,son making. A. man or 'woman must be. emotionally moved before he comes involved.

Everyone is busy with persorial and family affairs. But 'when a person is suddenly drawn into human problems and begins . to experience' what those who are affect~d feel, only then 'is he moved to want to do something about the situation.

Complex Society This personal feeling and desire for involvement in a community problem is only the beginning. Without careful study, consultation and planning with

Ban Paisley SYDNEY (NC) - The Australian government 'banned the Rev. Ian Paisley, Northern Ireland's controversial Protestant clergyman, from coming here during the visit of Pope Paul VI later this year. The Australian government, through Immigration Minister Phillip Lynch, notified the Australian high commissioner in London, Sir Alex Downer, that the government ban on Paisley was imposed under the authority given the Commonwealth by the country's Immigration Act.

or making matters' worse with well-intentioned meddling.

In the prototype Rochester, N. Y., riot of 1964, the liberal churchgoers wanted to evacuate children from the ghetto and set up aid stations to dispense various emergency goods and .services.

This well-intentioned flurry of action seemed based on the "Battle of Britain" model of World War II. Such a response would have received glowing news .coverage, changed nothing and probably would have added to the longsmouidering resentment of the Black community which brought on the eruption in the first place.

It is' beyond a truism that QUI'S is a complex society. If a citizen is to participate effectively in his community, he needs wide exposure to what is going on and sensitivity to gain understanding of what he is feeling and seeing.

Test Yourself A good place to start is to give yourself a brief test in sensitivity exposure. How about questions like. these: Have you often attended civic meetings, church services, events sponsored and attended by people who are different from you?

Have you read any book written by a militant Black writer, e.g., Soul on Ice, The Autobiography of Malcolm X? Have you ever read an underground newspaper or a college newspaper?

Have you spent time listening to a radio station that features hard rock, soul or programs .lor groups such as Mexican Americans or Puerto Ricans?

Have, you ever attended juvenile court hearings or followed a trial involvin!~ a member of a minority group? , Do you frequently attend city council or school board meetings and hearings?

Shock to System These questions come from a Sensitivity Exposure test prepared for a marvelpus packet on planned community change which can be obtained from the American Association' of University Women (ACTION IS OUR BAG, 2401 Virginia Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20037. $'), If you score low on "yes" ~ answers, then you have a lot of work to do to break out of your warm cocoon. But, think how confused life becomes when people vote, discuss crises of the day, decide school bond issues, make dec.isions in industry and Church that affect large numbers of people with relative ignorance about that community and its variety.

This kind of education may be a shock to the system. It may even be that beginning 'of a whole new outlook on life that the Christian tradition' qalls "conversion."

KNOW YOUR FAITH Grace Is Love If someone asks for a simple explanation of ecumenism, we might respond with two words: sharing and unity. These notions summarize efforts to share common beliefs and practices with a hope this will lead to the eventual union, or reunion, of Churches. Early in the ecumenical movement imaginative pioneers speculated about a logical consequence to these discussionsconstruction of a single church or building for diverse faith communities. The Interfaith Center at Wilde Lake Village Green in the new, planned city of Columbia, Maryland located midway between Washington ,and Baltimore has now turned this abstract concept into a concrete reality.

By

fRo JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN

Under the roof of a $1.1 million structure, dedicated just last month, are separate worship areas for Protestants, Catholics, Jews and Unitarians with shared office' space for the clergy and administrative personnel of six participating major denominations. Title to the building is held by the Columbia Religious Facilities Corporation. .

Tenants lease their spaces (Catholics-53.4 per cent; Protestants--44.3 per cent; Jews2.3 per cent) and make regular payments wpich provide for interest, debt service, maintenance and repairs. Weekly rental for the Catholic community amounts to $1,160 and according to the present schedule financing of the edifice will be completed in about 20 years.

Experiment in Economy In these days Church leaders understandably hesitate to construct, huge brick and mortar monuments while countless flesh and blood poor go hungry or live in hovels. This awareness of world poverty' and the need to remedy these conditions partly exp1ains the Interfaith Center at Columbia. It is an experiment in economy, an attempt to determine if various congregations can save many dollars by share ing a single roof. No one knows yet.

This innovative religious building, however, also grew out of a desire for unity among believers.

The center's motto taken from Psalm 133 (132) expresses this wish. "How pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity."

A joint parking lot (258 cars) aneJ foyer means on Sunday mornings, for example,' Christians and Unitarians will drive together, walk together, visit to-

gether on their way to chu~ch, then worship according to their own traditions and in a space reserved for their own use.

The modernistic baptismal font, complete with flowing water and a walk-in arrangement suitable for adult immersion, seems to satisfy basic requirements of both Catholic and Protestant dtuals for that sacrament.

It also underscores the belief central to many of the Interfaith I Community in one Lord, one baptism, one Savior of us all.

The specifically Catholic space is termed, descriptively, a "muticelebration" area and, according to architect William L. Gaudreau, conveys the idea that it has been designed for a multitude' of functions or celebrations; liturgical, social, educational, and theatrical.

To assure the visual and audible success of activities which take place in this Catholic section, the artists finally agreed on a modified arena style with center-stage effect and sloping floors.

Turn to Page Eighteen

In each case where this kind of humanizing growth was noticed the cause was readily discernible. The boy had cautiously opened his defensive shell a little as he allowed himself to experience a relationship of trust with one of the members of the staff.

Relationship of Trust To be trusted, to feel that someone actually did care, released healing, vital powers that had been locked up within the youth for years. One of the boys said to me after an hour of just sitting quietly together with hardly a word of conversation, "Why the hell did you spend an hour with a bum like me?"

The question needed no complicated answer. It was because I thought he was worth it; that I cared enough about him to spend an hour of time just being with him. It made a difference.

Whoever has had art experiience of being loved and respected understands this freeing, fulfilling, sense of personal worth. Love poems and iove songs of every age have expressed the surprise, exhitaration and healing in, knowing that someone cares enough' to give himself in love.

The effects of being loved are noticeable in youthful lovers and in the tested, faithful love of jubilarians. To be loved does something to a person that stimulates change for a richer, more fully human, wholeness of life.

Nothing can help us better understand the meaning of God's grace than reflection on the experience of being loved. The Scriptures ~ are filled with passages that do just that, compare God's favor to the surprising and gratuitious personal attachment we call love. "If God set his heart on you and chose you * * * it was, for love of you" ,(Dt 7:7). "Before the world was

made, He chose us, chose us in Christ ':' * ':' to 'live through love in His presence" (Ep 1:4).

Gift of Self This is the first and deepest meaning of grace: the favor of God for someone that is so deep and so surprising that He actually gives Himself in love to that person. St. Paul is so overcome by the experience that he writes almost with disbelief, "He loved me, and gave himself up for me" (Gal 2:20).

This self-giving of God to those he loves involves sharing of life, an intimate union of love that the Scriptures compare frequently to the complete union of man and wife in marriage.

U~fortunately this meaning of grace-called in theological tradition "uncreated grace" or the "divine indwelling" - was not stressed in religious education during the past several centuries.

Recent developments in the theology of Grace return to the biblical and traditional focus on Grace as God's free giving of Himself in a bond of love. Again, development of doctrine is grounded in a return to the most traditional sources.

St. Augustine in the fifth century expressed bautifully the traditional路insight into God's Grace: "We are loveable, 0 God, because you have loved us." Grace is first and foremost God's gracious love for each of us, undeserved, unmerited, completely free. Secondarily it is the change in us that occurs because of this love.

Parable of Ezekiel A remarkable passage in Ezekiel (Chapter 16) portrays dramatically what Augustine summed up concisely. God is described as noticing a baby girl, Israel.. lying newly born in the desert sands, abandoned and unloved. He is moved with affecTurn to Page Eighteen

God Is Love

Continued from Page Seventeen tion and cares for her. He loves her, and in so doing gives her a beauty that captivates everyone.

He unites her to Himself in a bond of marriage or covenant.

"Live and grow," He says, and she grows more and more beautiful because of His love.

The beautiful parable of Ezekiel articulates the experience we reflected on ofIove rendering a person more ·beautiful, more fully alive and loveable. In the language we _are familiar with "sanctifying graces," "created grace," is the change in -us created and sustained by God's love.

Sanctifying grace is a theological -term that describes the marvellous change that takes place in us if we allow-God's love to touch our hearts. "By the grace of God I am what I am" (I Cor 15:10). Theologians of past ages spoke of this as healing and elevating grace.

Grace, then, is not a thing, a q~antity of something that can be mysteriously increased by receiving the Sacraments or saying certain prayers. Grace is fundamentally a telationship of- love, God's lo~e which enables us to love Him in return and- to grow in a richer, fu.lIer human life of love.

Relationships can be deepened by dialogue, by sensitive service, by. being present to one another.

Relationships can also be neglected, or ruptured. The graced relationship between man and God can be allowed to grow;· it can also be allowed to stagnate.

From God's side the love is unfailing: "I have loved you with an everlasting love, so I am con· stant in my 'affection for you" (Jer 31 :3)..

Our relationship with God depends for its growth on our opening ourselves to His love.

"Look, I am standing at the door knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to share his meal, side by side with him (Rev. 3:20).

Need for Openness Understood in this way the doctrine of grace can be recognized not just as a. mysterious, truth abo~t something we get by receiving the sacraments or lose by breaking the commandments.

Grace is seen as God's love reaching out to us in all the Iifegiving moments of human experience. His gracious presence can touch us through 'the kiss of a loved one as well as through the Sacramental signs. Our openness to that love is not exercised solely in rec~iving the Sacraments, .but in every effort to be open to life and people.

Openness to life, to people, allows God to enter into our whole being and slowly form us in His image. Sometimes the change is readily noticeable, as in the case of delinquents who experience genuine respect and trust, as in the experience of being-loved by husband or wife. These more dramatic changes help ~s, in the light of faith, recognize what is always . and everywhere the deeper dimension of our lives.

"We are ioveable, 0 God, beca~ise you love us."

Discussion Question 1. What is grace? ~. Why is it true that grace is fundamentally a relationship of love?

NEW YORK (NC)-Generous response by American Catholics to their Church's appeal for -millions of dollars to fight poverty can help "radiate the love of Christ, not only throughout our nation but throughout the entire' world," Cardinal Terence Cooke declared here.

At a regional meeting to discuss the 1970 Campaign' for Human Development, Cardinal Cooke said the campaign "gives each of us an opportunity to direct our energies and our will to bring to fruition and Christian vision of a world where, all men can live as members of one human family, each one dependent on, and helping, the other.

"This is human development in its truest sense," added the New York cardinal.

The campaign was started Oct. 1 by Auxiliary Bishop Michael Dempsey of Chicago, who said it was a commitment by Ameri-' can Catholics to raise a minimum of $50 million to fight the root causes of poverty.

The fund drive, under auspices of the United States Catholic Conference, will climax Nov. 22 with a first annual nationwide collection to be taken up in all the country's Catholic churches.

Seekonk coming off its big win over Dartmouth will host Old Rochester and Case High of Swansea will play at DightonRehoboth in league contests.

Coach Tony Day's Dighton Falcons have the best chance of dethroning Somerset as the Raiders have already beaten Seekonk and Old Rochester and barring an upset should have little difficulty with Case on Thanksgiving. The Falcons have their work cut out for them, however, as they must meet Somerset two weeks from Saturday and Seekonk on the holiday.

NEW YORK (NC) - A priest who co-founded a Catholic organization devoted to convert work 25 years ago, emphasized the today's challenges which face those engaged in such an apostolate. .

Father Edwin A Juraschek of San Antonio. Tex., with Father John E. Odou, S.J., 'and Mrs.' ,Margaret Lynch Gibson, founded the Co'nvert Makers of America 25 years ago. It maintains headquarters in Pontiac, Mich., has members in ali 50 states and has spread to more than 30 other countries. It now is being called Convert Making Our Apostolate.

In the keynote address at the 25th anniversary convention of the CMOA here, Father Juraschek, the CMOA international director, denied that the Church has failed in the apostolate.

"If vast numbers no longer come to 'church to hear the Christian message, it is to a great extent because they have been convinced for a long time and find little point in being persuaded over and over again on the same points," Father Juraschek said.

"Thus, the problem which we face today as clergy and laymen in the convert apostolate is nof so much making the Church relevant to the issues of the day. The issues of the day are the issues precisely' because the churches have succeeded and have been relevant all along," he added.
