The prelate decried those whoinsist, "'I've got to be me. I'vegot to do my thing.' Sincewhen?" he queried. "As Chris­tians, you've got to do the otherperson's thing. It's not, 'I've gotto be me.' It's 'I've got to beHis.'''

Achbishop Sheen spoke highlyo~ Presidents Washington andLincoln, noting that Washingtonon one occasion fasted andprayed an entire day for thewelfare of the citizens of Massa­

Father O'Neill Is NotA Gloomy Ecumenist

500 Years

"His response," said FatherO'Neill, "was beautiful. He de­clared, 'When I consider whathas been done in the last 10years towards undoing the divi­sions of 500 years, and when Iset the last 10 years against the50 in which I've been persona1:lyinvolved in ecumenism, I con­sider a tremendous amount hasbeen done-and I would be con­tent to die tomorrow!"

The diocesan chairman alsonoted that the address given atthe meeting by Archbishop JeanJadot, apostolic delegate to theUnited States was "encouragingand consoling."

By PAT McGOWANand NC News

Contrary to feelings expressedby many delegates to the annualNational Workshop on Chris­tian Unity, held recently in Mem­phis, Rev. Cornelius J. O'Neill,outgoing chairman of the Dioc­esan Ecumenical Commission,does not take a gloomy view ofecumenism.

Common complaints at theworkshop were that both fund­ing and grass roots action forecumenism have dwindled. ButFather O'Neill said funding prob­lems were mostly with Protes­tant groups and that the Amer­ican Bishops are maintaining aWashington-based office for ec­umenical affairs. Also, individualdioceses customarily appoint anecumenical chairman, such asFather O'Neill, whose funding,if needed, comes from his ownBishop.

As to grass-roots activity, hecommented, "There isn't the run­ning around there used to be,but the novelty of ecumenismhas worn off, after all." Headded that younger Catholics,'including priests ordained in thelast few years, are truly ecumen­ical and do not see the need fororganizations.

He said that a highlight of themeeting came for him at a work­shop session when Rev. RichardRooney, S.J., an elderly Jesuitlong active in the work of theSodality of Our Lady (nowknown as Christian Life Com­munities), was asked, "Wouldyou be content to die tomorrow,knowing ecumenism was at itspresent stage?"

Misleading ArticleFor the millions of American

Catholics who are sincerely at­tempting to meet the cha1lengesof our day and our Church, thearticle was insulting. For themany who make little attemptto see beyond the present, it wasencouragingly misleading. Toadd insult to injury, the coverof this particular issue was rightout of the handbook of the crossburning KKK. The traditionalcross broken by the Stars andStripes harkens back to ,theage of the Nativists. One wouldsuspect that a few "Know Noth­ings" still linger in the officesof Madison Avenue. To dish uponce more this can of wormsmakes one suspect a bias thathas long lingered in the murkyink of Time's past comments onthe Catholic community.

To be quite frank, if Time at­tempted to play this type ofjournalistic trick on any otherminority group, the outcry andreaction would make nationalheadlines. It would not dare toapproach the Jewish or theBlack community with the samecallousness and insensitivity asit does the Catholic community.

The Catholic Church in theseUnited States has been loyal tothe American dream above andbeyond the call of duty. It istragic that Time magazine seesfit to break the Cross, whichmeans so much to the Catholicpeople of this land, with theStars and Stripes. It is abouttime that Time should begin totreat the American CatholicChurch honestly and sincerely,with less prejudice and bias,Greeley and the Critic notwith­standing.

A MOTHER'S LOVE

A mother smiles at her toddler son Her faceradiates a love that is warm and positive Her totalaffection for him is so obvious ... so joyful ... so at­tractive ... Such love has the power to call up in achild ... a sense of well-being ... a contented assur­ance of being loved ... of being loveable.

This mother's radiant smile suggests the cre-ative, calming power of love It seems a perfectimage of God's gracious regard for us ... We are usedto calling God "Father" ... but a mother's love maybetter image God's love for us.

God is our "Mother," too ... with all the tender­ness . . '. patience . . . expectancy of a mother for herloved child.

God says to each of us ... through the words ofthe prophet Isaiah: '

"Can a mother forget her infant ... be withouttenderness for the child of her womb? ... Evenif she forgets ... I will never forget you!"

.(Isaiah 49:15)

Few Catholics who live on the East Coast of thiscountry realize that the American Catholic belongs toaminority group. It is estimated that Catholics make up about23 percent of the total United States population. Yet thereis a fascination and a fetish­ism lingering about the Cath­olic Church on a nationallevel that certainly expandsbeyond the minority status thatCatholics actually possess in thisland.

A reflection of this mentalitywould be the example set byTime magazine in its May 24thedition. The cover story was de­voted to Time's unique evalua­tion of the present day CatholicChurch in the United States. Inthe past the Church in Americahas mainly been viewed by suchpublications in relation to itsinfluence on the social mores ofthis land. However, 'this storyattempts to analyze the Church

Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, D.O., S.T.D.ACTING EDITOR FINANCIAL ADMINIS1'RATOR

Rev. John R. Foister, S.T.L. Rev. Msgr. John Regan~ leary Press,-·Fall River

Here is where just over a fifth of the country's citilzens,Catholics, have a voice to say something if only they Will,by their lives, speak loudly enough.

The number of Roman Catholics in the United States,according to J. Kenedy and Sons Official Catholic Direc­tory is 48,881,872 or 22.78 per cent of the total nationalpopulation.

Encouraging indications are the increase in baptismsover last year and the increase in converts.

Still a cause of concern is the decrease over the lastten years in the numbers of priests, sisters, brothers andschools.

However much this can be decried, it should be viewedas an occasion for challenge rather than a cause for dis­couragement.

The fact is that Catholics should use their numbersnot in a political sense but to insist on the fundamentalsupon which this nation was deliberately founded-belief inGod and in the God-given rights of man.

The fact is that God does,not abandon His Church andthere must be the seeds of vocations in the home:; andhearts of many men and women. It remains for all to prayfor vocations and to uncover them and to encourage theirgrowth. '

The fact is that more and more serious studies arepointing up the value of Catholic schools which inculcatevalues and do not merely give information.

The fact is that all Catholics and each Catholic mustpractice what is preached and then the whole fabric ofthe Church in America will be stronger and become amore positive force for good in the nation.

The theme of almost all talks and reflections uponthe nation's bicentennial is the spiritual strength of thecountry, what it was, what it has become, what it shouldbe.

Speaking Loudly Enough

It used to be said that the Holy Spirit was the for­gotten Person of the Trinity. It would seem-and happilyso-that this is no longer so and Catholics and Christiansover the past decade have talked much about the HolySpirit and sought His influence in their lives and openedthemselves to the guidance of His inspiration.

The present great novena of the Church thes.e daysbetween the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and theDescent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, jis anemphasis on the Holy Spirit. The promise of the Son, thatHe and the Father would send the Holy Spirit into thelives of those who are God's children and the brothersand sisters of the Lord, is a source of great joy to onewho believes. It is an awesome reality, the generosity ofGod and His love for man that a frail human being isable to rejoice in the indwelling within his soul of theFather, constantly creating; the Son, always interceding,the Holy Spirit, ever inspiring to good.

This reality is the background against which eachperson should live his life.

, Upon reflection, however, Ican easily understand why hehas never heard of me. As oneof the incestuously integratedlittle coterie of incompetent,semi-literate clerical hacks whodominate the Catholic press, Ihave long ground out patronizingbook reviews which are invari­ably uninformed and unimagina­tive. In my most realistic mo­ments, I realize sadly that some99% of my thoughts are notimportant enough to warrantpublication. This humbling medi­ocrity pales into insignificancebefore the universal genius ofFather Greeley, whose every in­spiration we- all anxiously lookforward to seeing in print. For­tunately, we are never disap­pointed in our hope..: ..

I can plead no defense exceptoriginal sin. Though I have notyet been able to resist its influ­ence, I do keep trying, encour­aged by the unfailing good ex­ample of Father Greeley. Someday, perhaps, I shall succeed inemulating his objectivity andfairness of judgment, his care­ful documentation of his everyassertion, his generous opennessto the views of others, his mod­esty, his kindness, his discretion,his concern for the feelings ofothers, his exemplary Christiancharity. The Church needs bothgeniuses and saints, but howblessed is she to find both in thesame man!

If Father Greeley ever againruns short of bishops for hisbreakfast menu, I do hope thathe will remember me. He hasno idea how grateful I shall befor even the slightest recogni­tion. It is hard to imagine howboring a monastery can bewhen one has to spend all histime sending novices out towater hroomsticks. I cannothelp sighing for the big time.To rub shoulders even brieflywith the important personageswho claim Father Greeley's at­tention - Pope Paul, CardinalCody, Michael Novak, tIie no­torious anti-Catholic bigots ofChicago University - it's likebeing a celebrity for a day.

SISTER-VOLUNTEERS: A Sister-Volunteer programof ministry to the sick, possibly unique in the nation, hasbeen in operation for a year and a half at St. Luke's Hospital,New Bedford. From left, Rev. Kevin Tripp, hospital's Co­ordinator of Catholic Ministry, discusses program withSister-Volunteers Eleanore Calouro, SSD and SheilaRussell, GP.

"I found it hard sometimes.I didn't want to come in at

.Jimes. But when I left the hospi­tal I was glad I had come."

That's a typical comment ofa Sister participating in a uniqueSister-Volunteer Program at St.Luke's Hospital, New Bedford,organized a year and a half agoby Rev. Kevin Tripp, its Coor.dinator of Catholic Ministry.

Twenty-six New Bedford areaSisters, spending an averagetwo hours a week at the hospi.tal, are involved in the pro­gram. Most are educators andinitially found contact with sickand sometimes dying patientsand their families an upsettingexperience.

But, as one expressed it, "Thisprogram .has been for me agrowing experience. The peopleI've visited here have enabledme to plunge into the deeperreality of our life to death strug­gle. I now liave a greater re­spect for pain and I value it asa spiritual treasure.

Only PriestFather Tripp, whose full time

assignment is serving the 600­bed hospital with a patient cen­sus usually about two-thirdsCatholic, said he is on call "sixdays a week, 24 hours a day."On his day off, priests of neigh­boring parishes fill in for him.

But with such a work load,he felt patients were not gettingthe pastoral care many neededand this realization led to forma·tion of the program for Sisters.

"Many Sisters are seekingnew expressions of their min­istry and work," explains abooklet about the program givento inquirers. "This program givesthe Sisters an experience ofministry to the sick with somesupervision and in a somewhatcontrolled atmosphere. The in­dividual is not alone doing thiswork. She has the support ofthe group and the chaplain.

"The presence of such agroup is also supportive for thehospital staff, who know thatthe Sisters are working withthem and praying for them."

Butterfly Pins­Theme of the program is "A

before we have children, anddon't learn to appreciate a quietmeal until there is one dinnerwithout spilt milk, bickering, orcomplaints.

We don't appreciate the peaceof having everyone in and set­tled until we've listened into thewee hours for a returning carin the driveway.

And our appreciation of theCommunions, Confirmations,graduations, and weddings is be­cause it is a moment of accom-­plishment marking a lifetime ofeffort, culminating in a time ofanxiety.

A SImilar effect takes p:lace inour relationship with Christ. Weknow He tries to bring peace.We want peace in our hea,rts, inour communities. Yet all weseem to find is strife and chaos.But if we never knew disorder,we would not appreciate peace!

Even our Faith itself seems togo through these highs and. lows.There are periods of great con­fidence in God, when all h; rightin our little worlds. Our Faith isenthusiastic and secure.

Like Empty WordsBut there are other times,

times of doubt, uncertainty,emptiness; times when God ap­parently isn't listening.

In these lows our prayers seemlike empty words, our heartsdon't respond. We feel almost asif we have fallen out 01' lovewith God.

Instead of regarding thosetimes with a shrugged "what'sthe use," we should grasp thosemoments as our finest opportuni-·ties!

For it is in those barren timesthat.our Faith grows.

It is the searching, question­ing, reaching out in those mo­ments that builds our Faith. Andthe result isn't even perceptibleat the time. (The exhaustionprior to the wedding seems tohold n2 good of its own.)

But the answer to that s,earch·ing lies in our heart, and waits.And slowly, sometimes without.warning, our Faith starts toclimb. We swing back to Ii high. . . a Faith that is increasl~d be·cause of the anxiety and stressthat preceded it.

We curse our bad days . . .and it's such a waste.

For without them we couldhave Faith, and not appreciate it.

Or worse, have no Faith at all... and never know it.

possible to have teenagers whenwe were in our twenties andearly thirties and small babieswhen we were older.

While her plan is impossible,impracticai and unlikely, it cer­tainly has merit. When our chil­dren are small they tax our ener­gies during the day,' but whenthey go to bed they are generallythere for the night and thisleaves us time to relax and per­haps even retire to read in bedat an early hour. ./

Now that our babies are al­most full grown and on the so­cial whirl that is so important tothem in their teenage years ournights are spent "waiting" foreveryone to arrive home safely.Sometime this waiting may verywell go into the early morninghours and, as my friend com­ments, we really need our ownbeauty sleep at this time in ourlives.

Waiting GameWhen we are in the diaper

stage with fevers and allergies toworry about, we just can't waitfor them to grow up but whenthey do, watch out. The sleep­less nights seem endless, waitingfor the sound of that returningcar, the ringing of a phone latein the evening sends all sorts ofvisions running through ourovertired imaginations, and allin all I agree with my friend thatvery, very young people shouldbe the parents of teenagers.

Now I know God has had thisthing plotted out for eons, thou­sand years but I really think ifwe got a good lobbying groupgoing we could ask Him to re­consider the growing process andafter all He is known to haveperformed a few miracles in Histime. At least He ought to con­sider sending instructions withnew arrivals, some for the earlyyears and a gigantic volume forwhen they turn thirteen.

This casserole is perfect forthat evening when you want justa light supper with perhaps atossed salad and fresh rolls. Thenext time I make it I'm going touse a tomato sauce instead ofthe tomato soup which I per­sonally found a little too light.

to Rock Ga,rd,enPru1ning Trees

The question of ,what to do with trees be<::omes impor­tant when a garden gets more shade than sun. We have beenexpanding our rock garden and have had to make a decisionconcerning two large oak trees atop a slope on which therock garden is located. Asthe garden has crept up thehill and under the trees theplants have been getting lessand less sun.

We finally decided to cut offmost of the lower branches ofthe oak trees to a height of about

20 feet to afford enough highshade to allow us to grow mod­erately sun-loving plants ratherthan opting for strictly shade­loving plants. This is hard workbecause it entails cutting off thelimbs and also cutting them intofireplace size logs and kindling.

Always Changes

But now that we have a rea­sonable amount of sun comingthrough to the garden, we cantry to grow many plants thatcould not be grown before. Wealready have a couple of smallazaleas and rhododendrons, al­though they are several yearsaway from any sort of perform­ance; we also have a number ofdwarf evergreens, but these toowill be slow in making a show­ing.

In the meantime however, weare transplanting a number oflow-growing plants from the oldrock garden to the newer section.This is an advantage of havingan existing garden; having plantsready to be transplanted ratherthan having to buy new ones.

I "suspect that no matter howlong we have our garden therewill be changes. As we discovernew flowers we have to findroom for them and the result is .that many things we have had inthe past have to be discarded orcut back. At any rate, change ispart of the fun -of a garden andcompletion is never at hand. Wehave to anticipate this and enjoythe prospect of newness.

5t. Mary of the AssumptionCathedral Parish, Fall River, willobserve the 75th anniversary ofthe consecration of its presentbuilding on September 7. Theyear-long observance opened inMarch with a concert by theNew England ConservatoryChoir.

The second-phase of the ob­servance will be the revisingand updating of the parish his­tory in book form. The chairmanof the history committee isRobert F. Coggeshall, assistedby Everett McGarty who is incharge of research covering theyears 1838 to 1951. (Credit formuch material from those yearsto the late Rev. Francis A. Mc­Carthy, assistant pastor at theCathedral for 19 years.)

Photography will be co­ordinated' by Mrs. Jean Gagnonand compiling of data and pic­tures by Arthur Pires and RogerVezina. Secretaries and typistsfor the project include ElizabethHall, Gertrude O'Brien, ClaireO'Toole, Claire McMahon andAlice Ouellette.

Two States

The parish itself was startedin 1838 and was originally calledSt. John the Baptist. The origi­nal wooden church was in twostates, the altar and first sixpews in Rhode Island and therest of the building in Massachu­setts. The dividing line betweenthe two states at that time wasRodman Street.

, The present building of Gothicdesign was started in 1852 andcompleted four years later in1856. Men of the parish workedwell into the night, under direc­tion of the late Rev. EdwardMurphy, to erect the structurethat we have and still worshipin today.

On September 7, 1901, thechurch was consecrated by Rt.Rev. Matthew Harkins, Bishopof Providence, at a private cer­emony. On the same mornig at10 a.m. a solemn pontifical Masswas celebrated by Rt. Rev.Henry Northrup, Bishop ofCharleston, S.C. The final dayof the celebration Masses weresung by Bishop John 'J. Mon­ahan of Wilmington, N.C.,Bishop Northrup, and BishopE.P. Allen of Mobile, Alabama.The main MallS of the day wasoffered by Bishop Michael Cor­rigan of New York.

On Sunday, Sept. 19 of thisyear the closing and main eventof the celebration will be heldat 5 p.m. with a concelebratedMass at the Cathedral. MostReverend Daniel A. Cronin,Bishop of Fall River, will beprincipal celebrant assisted bymany former rectors and assis­tants and native sons of theparish. The ceremony will befollowed by a banquet atWhite's restaurant.

The religious life is caughtup in a catastrophe just at thetime when holy men, holy wom-'en, gurus, and other forms ofreligious leadership are impor­tant to an increasing numberof young and not-so-young peo­ple. I wonder if the fierce anddetermined secularization of thereligious communities duringthe past decade may not havebeen counterproductive. Thequest for "relevance," for "beinglike everyone else," for contem­porary life styles and activitiesmight have come along at justthe wrong time.

Greeley's First Law again:When Catholics stop something,others start it:

Maybe lay garb, left-wing ac­tivism, strident militancy, andfashionable "liberal" cliches (allderivative, of course) were justthe opposite of what the reli­gious life needed. Many womenwho wanted to be priests andmen who wanted to be politicalleaders (without ever learn-ingabout politics) played an impor­tant part in finishing off thepresent forms of religious life.

Maybe the turn away from in­tellectualism was involved too.You used to respect religiousmen, especially Jesuits, becausethey were "so well educated."Now you gasp with surprisewhen "concerned" Jesuits likeSimon Smith and William Ryansay that so<;ial concern givesyou more right to thologize thanformal intellectual training.Maybe the quick, simple andeasy answers to difficult ques­tions helped to tum people off-though, paradoxically, such an­swers were supposed to makethe religious life "relevant."

I'm in favor of the ordinationof women and I applaud socialcommitment, but it's time to askwhether the style of militancyof the last decade may not havegiven the coup de grace to analready badly wounded religiouslife.

• I don't think we will everknow the reasons. Still, it is oddthat when millions of people areinto meditation and mysticism,the religious life-which used tobe about both those activities­turns away from them andperishes.

about seminary enrollment in­dicate only a 50 percent decline.But for religious priests the fig­ure seems to be closer to 90percent.

I have no doubt that the reli­gious life will revive at somepoint in the future. New formswill emerge, as they did in thepast. No way of living that hasresponded to human needs forat least a millenium and a halfis likely to vanish permanently;but the religious life as we knewit in the United States in thiscentury seems moribund. I saythis with great sadness becauseunlike most diocesan clergy, Iam aware of the great contribu­tions religious priests made tothe immigrant church-the Po­lish Resurrectionists, ItalianScalabrini, German Redemptor­ists.

And without religious women,the Catholic schools, perhaps thestrongest asset of the Americanchurch, could never have comeinto existence. The virtual disap­pearance of the religious life inthe United States (and theworld) is going to be a mon­umental tragedy.

Who Knows Why?And I think an unexplained

one. There are lots of theoriesfor the decline but no soundempirical research.. As incred­ible as it may seem, the religiouslife may just about vanish fromthe American Church withoutanyone seriously trying to figureout why.

The religious life may be entering into one of thoselong periods of decline that have marked its history. I'veseen .data recently that indicate religious vocations invirtually every community, male and female, have declinedto about 10 percent of whatthey were ten years ago. Thedisappearance of the malereligious has been maskedsomewhat by the fact that vo­cations to the diocesan priest­hood-while not what they usedto be - have not declined sobadly.

Reaffirms BanOn Sterilization

WASHINGTON (NC)-A Vat­ican document restating theChurch's position that directsterilization, even when anotherpregnancy is considered likelyto result in mental or physicalillness, "remains absolutely for­bidden" has been released here.

The document by the Vat­ican's Doctrinal Congregationwas a response to inquiries bythe National Conference' ofCatholic Bishops (NCCB) andwas released by the NCCB hereafter it was made public at theThird European Congress ofPhysicians' Associations meetingin London.

The Vatican document, datedMarch 13, 1975 ,was -distrib­uted by the NCCB to the U. S.bishops last December "for theirinformation in relation to theirpastoral responsibilities" in con­nection with health facilities,Bishop James S. Rausch, NCCBgeneral secretary, said.

Describing the document as "aprivate response to the bishops'conference," Bishop Rausch said

. "it was never made public be­cause we saw no reason to makeit public." ,

The Vatican document de­scribed direct sterilization asany sterilization' which "of itsown nature and condition, hasthe sole immediate effect of ren­dering the generative faculty in­capable of procreation."

revolutions are always disas­trous for the people in whosemidst they occur."

There is every reason to be­lieve that the majority of Span­iards, with the tragic violenceof their Civil War still fresh intheir memories, agree with Sol­zhenitsyn in this regard. Butsurely there are \yays and meansof restoring political freedom inSpain short of another CivilWar or a bloody revolution.What the majority of the Span­ish people are demanding-withthe full support of the Church­is a peaceful revolution to bebrought about by the democraticprocess. -

Kept Within LimisIn reading Solzhenitsyn, how­

ever, one gets the impressionthat he is less than enthusiasticabout political democracy, withalI its obvious limitations. In theletter referred to above, whiledemanding that the Soviet lead­ers restore greater freedom totheir people, he warns them notto become "adherents of thatturbulent 'democracy run riot'in which every four years thepoliticians, and indeed the entirecountry, kill themselves over anelectoral campaign, trying togratify the masses."

Solzhenitsyn concludes hisscathing criticism of politicaldemocracy by saying that bothfreedom and order are necessarybut that both must be kept with­in limits. It is difficult to dis­agree with this statement as anabstract philosophical proposi­tion. In practice, however, theall-important question is: Howand by whom are freedom andorder to be kept within reason­able limits? With alI due respectto one of the great men of thisgeneration, I have the uneasyfeeling that Solzhenitsyn, in an­swering this question, wouldprobably come down hard onthe side of some form of author­itarianism. In fact, that's pre­cisely what he seems to havedone in his recent statement onthe political situation in Spain.

his dramatic defense of humanfreedom, understood him to besaying that he was opposed toall forms of political oppression,not just the Soviet brand. Moreto the point, they undoubtedlyunderstood him to be saying thathe was opposed to any govern­ment, whatever its politicalideology, which denies freedomand autonomy to the trade unionmovement and, as a matter ofprinciple, systematically deniesworkers the right to strike.

Strange AdviceIt would appear, however,

that Solzhenitsyn's opposition topolitical oppression is not allthat consistent - at least byby AFL-eIO standards - andthat his commitment to thecause of trade uniop freedom is,to say the least, somewhat am­bivalent.

He seems to think that thesuppression of trade union free­dom in Spain, for example, bycomparison with the situation inhis native country, is a minorproblem and one that the Span­ish people will simply have tolearn to live with, at least forthe time being.

On March 20, speaking on anationwide television programin Spain, he told the people thatthey ought to coul}t their polit­ical blessings and cool their de­mand for greater freedom. "Ifwe (Russians) had this muchfreedom," he said, "we wouldopen our eyes and never believe."Counselling the Spanish peoplenot to press for full democraticfreedom too quickly, he recalledthat by pressing too hard in thelate 19th century, Russian rev­olutionaries set off a war be­tween themselves and the Rus­sian ruling circles that contin­ued off and on until the Bo1she~vik revolution in 1917."

That's very strange advicecoming fro~ a man whose nameis almost synonymous with un­compromising opposition to po­litical oppression. How to ac­count for his ambivalent and se­lective approach to the questionof political freedom? . -

Two possible explanations canbe found in his writings. Thefirst is his opposition to anykind of violent revolution. "In­tensive study," he says in hisletter to the Soviet leaders, "hasconvinced me that bloody mass

Caring ChristiansBy REV. JOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN

Would you feel missed at theparish next weekend if for somereason you did not come to Sun­day Mass? Do you think thepriest might notice your'absenceor the congregation be awareyou were not there?

Father Robert Hovda has beenwriting and speaking on liturgi­cal topics for many years. Buton Sundays he joins a uniqueworshiping unit in suburbanWashington for their weeklyEucharist. He could' respond"yes" to both those questions.

In a recent lecture/article on"The Sunday Eucharist and. theParish Community," he com­ments:

"So we need human congre­gational units, where there iscare and support, and where en­couragement can be felt. . . . Iam talking about the kind ofcommunity in which one feel~

that one is missed if one isabsent from the Sunday assem­bly. How many of us can say

Scholars are of the opinionthat the story of the. passionwas the first continuous narra­tive of the Christ-event to havebeen composed. The reason forthis may very well be the inti­mate connection between thepassion-death-resurrection andthe Eucharist. The Eucharist wascelebrated right from the begin­ning of Christianity, and it is,among other things" the memo­rial, the sacramental reenact­ment, of the passion-death-res­urrection experience. Just as,among the Jews, the story ofthe Exodus was receited ea.chyear during the Passover meal,so the story of the passion wasprobably recited during the Eu­charistic meal, to bring out itssignificance. As a result it JVould ,have been formulated quiteearly. Indeed, many of the dif­ferences in the various Gospelaccounts of the Last Suppermay reflect varying Eucharisticliturgies in individual communi­ties.

·Mark's account is brief andto the point. It begins with anotice that it was the first dayof the unleavened bread, whenit was customary to sacrificethe paschal .Jamb. Thus he pin­points the day to the Passoveritself by referring to the paschallamb which was eaten at the fes­tive meal on the eve of the feast.However, it is not the celebra­tion of the feast itself which isparamount in Mark's account,this is Jesus' own Passover, in adouble sense: He will transformit into the new Passover, theEucharist, and it will mark thesolemn beginning of His passingover from this life, throughdeath, to glory although the note

By FATHER JOHN J. CASTELOTpreached the value of goodworks, acting out the faith, justas James appreciated the needfor faith as well as works. Jamesis simply centering 011 peoplewho misread Paul to think thatfaith is enough without practice.

3. Treat the poor with justice.One of the all important imple­mentations of faith is the taskof bringing to the poor. As elo­quently as any Old Testamentprophet or modern-day defenderof the rights of the underprivil­edged, James lashes out:

"As for you, you rieh, weepand wail over your impendingmiseries. Your wealth has rotted,your fine wardrobe has grownmotheaten, your gold and silverhave corroded, and their cor­rosion shall be a testimonyagainst you; it will devour yourflesh like a fire ... The cries ofthe harvesters have reached theears of the ·Lord of hosts."(James t; 1-6)

Clue To Integrity4. Use your. tongue wisely.

James' discourse on the tongueis probably the most interestingand dramatic mediation on theuse of speech ever written. Asperceptive as any psychology ofspeech, James' observationsmake a direct link between theuse of the tongue and one's egostrength, one's ability to controlmaturely his relationships toothers.

created Word-become-flesh, be­come man, become truly one ofus. Too frequently. we think thatjust because Jesus was God Hissuffering and death were differ­ent from ours. Too often, I be­lieve, we are disappointed be­cause Jesus did not give us arational explanation of the suf­fering and agony and pain andfrustration that we all experi­ence. We fail to realize that Hegave us something better. Letme try to explain.

If we look at the Gospels wediscover that Jesus did not prom­ise us an answer to the mysteryof evil, to the problem of suffer­ing. He simply said that He, theSon of Man, had to suffer andthat everyone who wants to be­come identified with Him wouldhave to suffer too. Yet if wetake His humanity seriously, ifwe try to appreciate the mean­ing of the incarnation - thatGod loves us so deeply that He"emptied Himself" of His divinityso that He could become perfect­ly one with us (see Philippians2:6-11) - then we can begin tosee that by suffering and dyingJesus makes it possible for us tobecome identified with Him and,through and in Him, with theFather who has sent Him.

. All of us are familiar with theGospel accounts of the final daysof Jesus: how He entered Jerusa­lem on Palm Sunday, prepared toeat the Pasch with His disciples,gave Himself as food and drinkto His apostles at the Last Sup­per, prayed in the garden, sub­mitted to arrest, was tried and

. sentenced to death, was cruellyscourged and mocked, and final!ywas nailed to a cross to die anagonizing death (Matt 26:1-27:61;Mk 14:1-15:47; Lk 22:1-23:56;Jn 13:1-19:42).

The signifiance of these finaldays of Jesus' life is also familiarto us, but perhaps this very fa­miliarity at times keeps us fromdeepening our appreciation ofwhat Jesus has done and indeedstill does for us. By sufferingand dying Jesus has made it pos­sible for us to share in His re­deeming act and to become iden­tified with Him, just as He be­came perfectly one with us. Thisis one of the central truths thatJesus teaches us by His gift ofHimself.

Yet this truth at times be­comes obscured. For one thing,we are accustomed to look onJesus as God. He is truly God,truly the Uncreated Word of theFather. But Jesus is the Un-

By FArnER ALFRED McBRIDE,O.Pream.

Reading James is like goingback to the wisdom writers ofthe Old Testament. James is likea Solomon for New Testamenttimes. Though there is no cer­tainty about his identity, thegeneral consensus is that he isthe James who became the firstBishop of Jerusalem. He doesn'tfollow the letter style of otherepistilary writers. He soundsmore like a preacher than awriter.

His advice to the Church cen­ters on five themes:

1. Develop endurance. Chris­tian life will be full of trials.There is no sense in thinkingthat Christianity is a matter of"cheap grace," of achievementon the run. Temptation and thetug of passion will hound every­one reaching for the spiritualcrown of life and happiness.Without endurance through thetime of testing, it is foolish tothink that anything of worth canbe .accomplished.

2. Act out your belief. Don'tjust be a hearer of Christ's word.Do something about it. A faiththat finds no realization in lov­ing behavior is a useless faith.Some scholars thought thatJames is repudiating Paul's letterto Rome abollt the vanity ofworks of the law as against theall important saving power of

animal poured out at the footof Mt. Sinai to signify the newrelationship between God andHis people Israel. Jesus is the'new sacrificial lamb, the Lambof God, establishing by Hisblood a new relationship, a newcovenant, between God and allhumanity.

Finally, Jesus points out theeternal dimension of the Eucha·rist: "I will never again drinkof the fruit of the vine until theday when I drink it new in thereign of God." It refers to theday when the earthly Eucharist,a joyous symbol of the messianicbanquet, will be celebrated byJesus and His faithful followersin a new and transcendent wayin the Kingdom of the Father.

It is hard to say whether thesad little episode whieh followstook place while they were stillat table or on their way to Geth­semane. Verse 26 would suggestthe latter: "After singing songsof praise, they walked out to theMount of Olives." But the fol­lowing verse would seem to sup­port the former: "Jesus' thensaid to them"-as a continua­tion of his table tlk. And, infact, places Jesus' prediction ofPeter's denial squarely withinthe context of the supper. Thiscould be an example of Mark'sfrequent awkwardness of styleand the resultant obscurity. Atany rate, Jesus sadly foretellsthe shock they will experienceat His Crucifixion and theirabandonment of Him. Peter,with typical impetuosity, blurtsout, "Even though all are shakenin faith, it will not be that waywith me." "Jesus answered, "Igive you my assurance, this verynight before the cock crowstwice you will deny me threetimes." But Peter kept reassert­ing vehemently, "Even if I haveto die with you, I will not denyyou." Mark adds: "They all saidthe same."

The smaller church could offerthis type of personalized, lovingattention; the larger Catholicparish would find it surely diffi­cult and nearly impossible tooffer that kind of service, eventhough staffed by several hardworking priests and Sisters.

We usually think of the obliga­tion to worship each Sunday interms of our relationship to God.Perhaps we should view it alsoin connection with others.

Our presence at Mass can giveencouragement to those whopray with us. When people lookaround and see a crowd of per­sons sharing, apparently, thesame faith, the same Lord, thesame Eucharist, they must ex­perience a certain reinforcementof their own beliefs.

Similarly, when parishionerssmile at strangers, welcomethem and reach out to these per­sons in their needs, the recipi­ents should feel they have be­come part of a loving, caringcommunity and would be missedif not present.

These points hold true for thepriest as well. During the pastwinter months a heavy rash ofillnesses 'caused many of ourpeople to miss Mass, occasional­IV for weeks at a time. We arpnot always aware of the causefor such absences and thus Ifound it rather disheartening tonote an unusual number ofempty seats for the liturgies.

If we reflect on Jesus' finalgift of Himself in this light, wewill, I believe, come to a newerand deeper appreciation of themeaning of the beatitudes. Weshall see why it is true that weshould "I'ejoice and be gladwhen we are insulted and perse­cuted and why we who suffershall b~ consoled (cf. Matt 5:3-12).

The quite ordinary life of Jesusis the great stumbling block, thescandal of pelief. To accept thisscandal is to accept the mysteryof the incarnation, the truly won­drous,. paradoxical, completelyunexpected gift of God's con­suming love for us: His gift ofHimself in a created human real­ity that He has made His ownand, in making· it His own, hasraised to the level of life withHimself.

At each Eucharist we call tomind the saving death of Jesus.Eucharist means thanksgiving,and there is a reason why weshould give thanks and be glad:God, the most marvelous friendwe can ever have, has madeHimself to be one of us and in­vites us to become one with Himand makes it possible for us todo so. We can become one withHim today, in the suffering anddisappointment that we will ex­perience; and He, our Risen Lord,with be with us to comfort andsupport us in our struggle to bewhat we really are: preciouswords of God that He, the Un­creaaed Word, has become.

Jesus' favorite way of refer­ring to Himself in the Gospelswas to call Himself the "Son ofMan," and He identified Himselfwith the suffering servant por­trayed in the songs of Isaiah. Bydoing this He wanted to teach usthat He, the Word-made-flesh,was truly one of us and that Hefully experienced what it meansto be a human being. And pre­cisely by becoming completelyidentified with us in our suffer­ring and agony, He makes it pos­sible for us to become complete­ly identified with HimselC. JohnL.

Have you ever felt like you were walking into the valleyof darkness? You were supposed to be leading a group ofpeople, but you didn't know if what you were doing wasmaking any difference? That is the feeling of every parent:when his or her teenager begins going some unexpected way.It is the feeling of the preacher who has no idea if his wordsare settling on the hearts of people out in the middle of thatdark abyss.

Every year, we Dameans get .that same feeling. It comeswhen we discuss whether our column is making any differ­ence. Are we providing a service? Can we improve what weare offering?

The major problem in answering these questions is theabyss. What is really going on at the other end? We doreceive some feedback from editors and readers, but we needa lot more.

Does It Help?It would be very valuable to know, from you: Does this

column help you? Why do you read it? Primarily to discoverthe ,lyrics to the songs? For classroom discussion? For sermonmaterial? To give you as a parent an insight into the youthscene?

Probably a question that is just as important as all theothers is how we might improve. If you could write us anote indicating how you use our column, we would appre­ciate it. With this information before us, we will do everythingwe can to make our work better reflect your needs.

One- suggestion which recurs is that we include guitarchords, but music owners will not permit this because itwould undercut sheet music sales.

We have been thinking about including discussion ques­tions becal,lse many people use the column in the classroom.

Community feeling for SisterMaureen was expressed last Junein Fall River when the SisterMaureen Hanley Home for ex­ceptional young adults was ded­icated in her honor. And thefeelings of her co-workers willbe expressed on Monday, June 21at a testimonial dinner at Venusde Milo restaurant, Swansea, towhich all her friends are invited.

"My mother called me theQueen of the Kids," she said."All the neighborhood childrenwere always around the house.",

"Glory be to God," she said,"I used to dance in all the par­ish shows around town. Andonce a couple of friends and Iwere in the chorus at the oldBijou Theatre. We danced for aweek and we got $35 each. Iwas 17 and I thought it was amillion dollars. I bought pres­ents for everyone in the familyand I h.ad all of it spent beforeI ever got home."

Sister Maureen worked as abookkeeper for a year beforeentering the convent and shesaid that her boss refused to be­lieve she'd stay. "You're notmeant for that life;" he told herand he held her job open for amonth before he gave in andhired a replacement for her.

Before entering on her careerwith exceptional children, SisterMaureen taught in parochialschools in Fall River, New Bed­ford and North Attleboro. Foryears, however, she spent hersummers with the children ofSt. Vincent's Home, many ofwhom had emotional problems,and she came to realize her spe­cial interest in this field of ed­'ucation.

Bishop on VocationsDearly Beloved in Christ,

Next weekend, the Solemnity of Pentecost, will beobserved throughout the Diocese of Fall River as our spe­cial Annual Day of Prayer for Vocations. I consider it ahappy coincidence that the Pentecost Feast, the "birthdayof the Church," will be the occasion this year for all of usin the Diocese of Fall River to pray with particular fervorfor the blessing of many vocations to the priesthood and tothe religious life.

At parish Masses next weekend, we shall receive theCollection for our Ecclesiastical Student Fund, which helpsus to finance the seminary education of students for theDiocesan priesthood. I am confident that everyone will re­spond in a generous manner.

During recent weeks, I have had the happy privilege ofordaining several young men to the priesthood and to the .diaconate. It is a source of great encouragement and con­solation to know that zealous young ministers of theSacraments and of the Word of God are coming forth fromthe good homes and families of our Diocese. Yet, on thisday, the anniversary of the day when the Apostles, inspiredwith the Holy Spirit, first undertook the Mission of heChurch, I know, as indeed you all know, that we musthave many holy and dedicated priests and religious to carryon that Mission in aur times.

For this very reason, as Bishop, I tum to you, tliePeople of God of the Fall River Diocese, for prayerful sup­port and encouragement of our Vocations Apostolate. Praythat vocations increase and that those called by Christ willfind the courage to respond to that calling.

Our beloved Holy Father Pope Paul VI has composeda prayer for vocations for this year's observance that wecould all well make our own:

We ask you, Lord, to continue to bless and enrichyour Church with the gifts of your vocations. Wepray that many will be willing to listen to yourvoice and may continue to give joy to the Churchwith the generosity and faithfulness of their re­sponse. Amen.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the loveof God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with youall.
