River, in glittering rites presidedover by the late Richard CardinalCushing who was the homilist forthe occasion.

Msgr. Humberto S. Medeiros,who was to succeed the cardinal,was, in his capacity as. diocesanchancellor, the master of cere­momes.

In 1970, when Bishop Croninassumed the leadership of the FallRiver Diocese, he continued Bish­op Gerrard as vicar general.

Retirement from parish respon­sibilities came to Bishop Gerrardin 1972, though he continued toassist Bishop Cronin as auxiliarybishop, often administering thesacrament of confirmation andrepresenting the Ordinary at spe­cial events.

In 1973, together with BishopConnolly, Bishop Gerrard wasrecognized for his 50 years of dedi­cated service to the diocese. Morethan a dozen bishops gathered atthe Cathedral to celebrate thegolden jubilee..

Presiding was one of BishopGerrard's successors in the chan­cery office, His Eminence Hum­berto Cardinal Medeiros, the lateArchbishop of Boston. The lateRev. John F. Hogan, pastor of St.Julie Parish, No: Dartmouth, wasthe homilist.

Pope Paul VI sent a personalletter of recognition and tribute toBishop Gerrard on that occasion.

Again in 1976 he hailed theachievements of Bishop Gerrardand wished him years ofjoyful andrestful retirement.

And in 1984,-on the venerablebishop's 25th anniversary of epis­copal ordination, he received arare personally signed papal bless­ing from Pope John Paul II, re~d­ing, "To our venerable brotherJames J. Gerrard, titular Bishopof Forma, celebrating the 25thanniversary of the day he wasappointed Bishop, anticipating thishappy occasion and sincerely con­gratulating the good deeds of sal­vation performed throughout along ministry, with heartfelt lovewe impart the Apostolic Blessing."

A Priests' PriestRecalling Bishop Gerrard, Sis­

ter Sean Connolly, O. Carm., ad­ministrator of Catholic MemorialHome, said he was most distin­guished for his spirituality.

"He would spend hours in thechapel," she said, recalling thatone Christmas day the sisters werewaiting to present him with a gift.

Representative for Religious from1941 to 1945.

Vicar-GeneralIn 1951 Bishop Gerrard was

After ordination, Bishop Ger­rard was assigned to Sacred Heartparish, Oak Bluffs, for 'his firstsummer as a priest. In October ofthat year, he went to St. Patrickparish, Fall River. He is still re­membered in the south end of thecity for his zeal and priestliness,especially toward the sick and thepoor.

ChancellorOn June I, 1932, the bishop

became chancellor of the dioceseand secretary to the Apostolic Ad­ministrator, the late Most Rev.James E. Cassidy. When BishopCassidy succeeded to the dioceseupon the death of Bishop Feehan,Bishop Gerrard continued as chan­cellor and episcopal secretary.

The prelate was a member oftheDiocesan Marriage Tribunal from1930 to 1941. In those positions heshowed his ability as an efficientadministrator and did much tokeep diocesan administrationabreast of this period of changeand growth.

The new democracies emergingin Eastern Europe would do wellto imitate the simplicity of thisdocument that has survived 200years. The bills of rights emergingin these new democracies use. theaffirmative ("It shall be the right ofeach citizen.. ,").

the moorina-,With the death of Bishop Gerrard, the local church has in a

real way come to the end of the era of Bishop Cassidy, whomBishop Gerrard served as chancellor and episcopal secretary.

Ordained by Bishop Feehan, his long career of diocesanwideinvolvement really began in earnest when he was named chan­cellor almost 60 years ago. Then and since, he faithfully andloyally served the diocese under Bishops Connolly and Cron'infollowing Bishop Cassidy.

Direct and sometimes didactic, there was no question of hisdetermination to be the good and faithful servant of the Lord.In his own clip and chip style, answers were readily givenwithout fancy frills. There was little need or room for interpre­tation but always charity and concern.

Due to his advanced age and frailty, his presence on thediocesan scene for the past decade was limited; but his overallpriestly ministry has left an indelible mark on the history ofthediocese.

Never one to seek the limelight, Bishop Gerrard was never­theless thrust by events into the mainstream of diocesan life.Although a person who preferred, even sought, Jo·b,e in thebackground, when called upon to serve his church, he did sowithout hesitation. .'

Always striving for impartiality in judgment, he treated allwith exacting fairness. As chancellor,vicar general and asauxiliary bishop, he will be ,remembered for his influen.t.ial.position. But he will·be recalled more personally asadevoted'priest by members of St. Patrick's and St. ~arY:s Cathedral.parishes in Fall River and St. Lawrence parish in NewB~fu~. .~, A grateful (fioce'se:·l'ecalls his years ofmihisiry:and prays thathe will rest in peace. .

Bishop Daniel A. Cronin pre­sided and Father John F. Andrewsw'as principal celebrant the Massof Christian Burial for his father,Francis F.G. Andrews, 86, ofBerkley, offered last Saturday atSt. Bernard's Church, Assonet.Father Leonard M. Mullaney,formerly pastor at St. Bernard's,was homilist.

Andrews died May 29 at home.He was the widower of Julia C.(Trond) Andrews.

A native of Hyde Park, Andrewswas the son of the late Orton andAgnes (Collins) Andrews. Thefamily moved to Berkley when hewas two years old.

life. Women, for instance, gothrough a great deal of pain in giv­ing birth. And presuming the hus­band/ wife structures of their cul­ture, they certainly experiencebitter frustration in their attemptsto build deep relationships withtheir men.

Men also have troubles. Successcomes only after long hours ofexhausting labor; and often theirdrudgery produces minimal re­sults.

No matter how ideal the age,everyone must suffer.

(We suffer a little now becausethose who choose our liturgicalreadings have decided that thispericope or excerpt should endbefore Yahweh confronts the manand woman. So we will have to useour imaginations...and Bibles.)

Thankfully, the Author's theol­ogy revolves around a part of theLord's proclamation included inour passage: "I will put enmitybetween you and the woman, andbetween your offspring and hers;he will strike 'at your head, whileyou strike at his heel."

The snake embodies the forcesof evil; the woman and her offspr­ing represent all. humanity. Any­one who has ever crushed a snakeby stomping barefoot on its head,painfully discovers the snake isquicker than the foot: No matterhow successful the crush, thecrusher will always feel the cru­shee's fangs.

There is no other way to over­come evil. We run the risk of beingbitten eVI:ry time we do good.Even in the fundamental acts ofgiving birth, building relationsand working hard we can expect tosuffer pain and defeat.

Knowing this stops many fromeven attempting good actions.

Yet the Yahwistic Author'smessage is an emphatic "Do it!"He encourages us to raise our painand frustration threshold. Themore effects of evil we can endure,the more good and happiness wewill attain. '

'Believing this, Paul encourageshis Corinthians. "We do not loseheart," he writes, "because ourinner ~eing is renewed each day,even though ourbody is being des-

, troyed at the same time. The pres­ent burden of our trial is ligtitenough and earns for us an eternalweight of glory beyond all compar­ison.~

Mark, tells us that Jesus alsomust deal with such struggles. Notonly do some believe that he re­ceives his miraculous powers from"Beelzebub," the, prince of dem­ons, but one day even his motherand bi~)lhers come to take charge

.of him because they think "he isout of his mind."

No wonder he declares, "Who­ever does the will of God is brotherand sister and mother to me."Those willing to endure the conse­quences of doing good will alwaysbe part of the Lord's family.

Jesus lives the YahwisticAuthor's theology, and he expectsus to do the same.

Genesis 3:9-15II Corinthians 4:13-5:1

Mark 3:20-35Probably no biblical image is

more misunderstood - its signifi­cance even lost - than the conceptbehind the "punishments" ofAdam, Eve and the snake in ourfirst reading. Most of us simplyregard them as penalties for sin,things to be avoided wheneverpossible. Yet the Sacred Authorhas built a very sophisticatedtheology into this passage. Itsmessage is one of the most valua­ble and important in Scripture.

The creator of this section ofGenesis is the famous Yahwisticauthor; named because he or she ifwe are to believe some recent com"mentators-always uses the propername Yahweh for God. This auth­or is probably the most psycholog­ically oriented biblical writer. Hisinsights into the implications ofYahweh's presence in the universeare as valid today as they were3,000 years ago.

Our passage was composed dur­ing the reign of King Solomon: the10th century B.C.E., the "goldenage" of Judaism. Everything isgOing well for everyone. Yet whenthe Yahwistic author examinesthis ideal period with eyes and earsof faith, he discovers somethingwhich others overlook.

And whileshe shied away from using theword "mission," it was clear shefelt she had a mission to onceagain let Father Kapaun's name beheard.

When she countered with herlawsuit charging that she wasdenied the right of speech, a news­paper editorial pointed out the dif­ference between academic free­dom and free speech. "Like every­one else, she can believe whatevershe likes about the Holocaust andshould be able to state her views tofriends and colleagues withoutfear of punishment. But she doesnot have an unrestricted right toteach whatever she likes."

Doris knows the story in detail.In fact, her quest took her on anunexpected journey to Father Kap­aun's hometown of Pilsen, Kan.,last fall. The invitation to come tovisit and stay at the rectory of thechurch where the one-time farmboy had worshiped came fromMsgr. Arthur Tonne, who hadwritten a book about the priest in1951. "'

The case draws attention toan increase in both racism andanti,-Semitism in our country. Afew skinheads here or there don'ttrouble me nearly as much as ateacher, minister or politician whoattempts to impose bias and in­flame the baser prej udices ofthose who trust and follow him orher.

Doris believes he should notonly be awarded the country'shighest honor. He should also bebeatified by the Vatican.

Witnesses told of how thisintrepid chaplain risked his lifecontinuously to attend thewounded in the camp. The placewas freezing; the men had only asmall ration of cracked corn dailyto eat; they were infected with lice;and suffered terribly from the rav­ages of malnutrition.

Half-starved himself, he wouldoften give away his own rations.He was known for being uncannilyclever at raiding the food suppliesguarded by the communist police.With his pockets full of stolenfood, he would crawl back to the

Teen health needs TV program topicFormer U.S. Surgeon General

C. Everett Koop looks at thehealth needs of today's adoles­cents in "Listening to Teen-agers,"airing Sunday, June 9, 1-8 p.m.EDT on NBC~

Koop visits Minneapolis to seehow its teens are coping withhealth problems caused by drugs,alcohol, sex and other activitiesonce not considered part of theadolescent world. .

Showing how teen health needshave changed, Koop starts by not­ing that today, "Some kids cometo school with their kids."

One teen mother-to-be explainshow a school counseling programhelped her cope with her troubledlife.

At another high school, there's apeer education program on AIDSbecause, a teacher says, youpgpeople "listen to their peers morethan their elders."

Mental health problems like de­pression are also a teen healthproblem, while the pressures oflearning cause some better stu­dents to escape into alcohol.

But Koop also tells a successstory of a happy, bright, self-con­fident high school senior.

Kate Andrews is one of fivechildren. in a Catholic family. Shehas loving parents, a stable homeand solid moral values.

In talking with the family pas­tor, Koop asks the Catholic posi­tion on "the simple problem ofcontraception." Father DennisDease of the Basilica of St. MaryCo-Cathedral, Minneapolis, rep­lies that encouraging young peo­ple to use condoms conveys "thewrong message that adolescentsexual activity is healthy and agood."

Instead, the priest says, youngpeople should be taught that post­poning sexual activities makes fora future happy marital relation­ship.

Report on FatimaDear Editor:

I had the honor of being atFatima withmy pilgrims from theFall River diocese during the papalvisit. We met several priests and

. bishops but didn't see BishopCronin. We were all glad that hehad the opportunity to be at Fatimawith the other bishops to hear ourHoly Father's message, thanks,tohis invitation from Bishop AurelioGranada.

I have never seen so many car­dinals, archbishops, bishops, mon­signors and priests at one place atthe same time as on May 13 inFatima; not even in Rome! In allof the 10 times I have visitedFatima, never have there been somany people.

As our Holy Father said, "Nowis the time, Fatima is the place. Wemust do what our Mother asked ofus in her message in Fatima in1917. Lourdes is for physical heal­ing; Fatima' is for conversion ­pray the rosary."

The pope also mentioned theimportance of receiving the bodyand blood of Christ daily in theEucharist. And of course he men­tioned in detail the unification ofEurope. We are so lucky to havesuch a wonderful pope, such aholy man.

Sister Lucia looked much thin­ner but looks well and of coursehappy. (She looks nothing like thenews photos; she looks muchsweeter and more loving.)

Think of how exciting it musthave been for her to look out overthe million people there and tothink back to 1911, when OurLady appeared to her and hercousins.

Sister Maxyne Schneider, a mem- 'ber of the Montessori school'sboard of directors' committee,said that providing for continu­ance of the school is a major con­cern of the sisters.

"The jobs of many parentsdepend on assurance that theIrchildren will be well cared for dur­ing the day," she said.

She noted that meetings havebeen held with parents, schoolfaculty and other staff mem bers todiscuss the school's future. Inexistence for 19 years, it has hadSister St. Louis Paquette as itsdirector throughout that time.

The school is expected to con­tinue in operation at least throughJune 1992, said Sister Schneiderand will remain at its present loca­tion for the time being. Judgingfrom the supportive attitude ofparents, she said, hopes are highthat it will endure, even if eventu­ally at a different site.

said Sister Fernandes. "He bringsto St. Anne's a special blend oftalent, experience and leadershipability we feel is important to thisinstitution."

"I am especially pleased toaccept the position of chief; exec­utive officer of this institution,"said Gabor.

"St. Anne's was founded 85years ago with the specific missionof providing vital medical care tothose who need it, regardless ofability to pay, religion or ethnicbackground. My responsibility isto assure its mission is fulfilled."

Gabor has over two decades ofhealth care experience. For 13years he was president and chiefexecutive officer of MontgomeryGeneral Hospital Health Services,Inc. of Olney, Md., a diversified,not for profit corporation. withfive subsidiaries.

There he achieved consistent con­secutive years of positive bottomline performance, restructured theorganization to a profitable par­ent/ subsidiary model and stabil­ized inpatient market share in anenvironment where a new acutecare facility opened within the ser­vice area.

Prior to that he was director andchief operating officer of GreaterBaltimore Medical Center, a 400­bed acute care, communityowned, not-for-profit hospital.

St. Anne's new president holds amaster's degree in business admin­istration from George Washing-·ton University Washington, DC,and a bachelor's degree from Fair­mont State College, Fairmont, W.VA.

At the same time,however, this is only a beginningof the process. While the discus­sions proceed, we intend to con­tinue hospital operations as theycurrently exist. To do this, we willneed your continued support,good will and continued care forthe needs of our patients.

Should our discussions with CharI­ton Memorial Hospital appear un­likely to bear fruit, we will also, asthe congregation who sponsoredthe hospital since 1906, and as sis- _ters who care deeply about thecontinuance of its mission andpersonnel, be exploringall optionsthat will permit us to continue toprovide services into the future.

We have every confidence thatthe hospital will be able to con­tinue to provide the valuablehealth care service as we have inthe past, whether or not the hospi­tal continues under our sponsor­ship.

We will keep in close communi­cation with you as discussions con­tinue. The personal sacrifices eachof you makes for St. Anne's aregreatly appreciated. We recognizethat these are difficult times foryou, and that you may feel anx­ious for the future, so please donot hesitate to seek us out and letus know your questions or con­cerns. On the part ofthe sisters, weembark on this path with full ,con­fidence ... that the mission forwhich we all stand will continue tobenefit ... our patients, and ... theGreater Fall River community.

New Hospital HeadIn other action at St. Anne's

Hospital, appointment of FrankR. Gabor as president and chiefexecutive officer was publiclyannounced May 30. It had beenannounced May 27 to the institu­tion's board of directors.

"We are very enthused aboutFrank Gabor assuming the presi­dency of St. Anne's Hospital,"

rament parish, Fall River, atopTownsend Hill, have announcedtheir intention to dispose of theirproperty at 2501 South MainStreet.

Added to over the years, thecomplex consists of several inter­connected buildings, including alarge convent, the sisters' formernovitiate quarters and St. JosephMontessori school. The latter is athriving operation with some 80preschool pupils ranging from 2years and 9 months old to age 6.

The decision to give up theproperty follows the 1974 mergerof the Fall River Sisters of St.Joseph with Sisters of St. Josephin Holyoke. Such mergers havebecome common among religiouscommunities faced with vocationshortages and increasing age ofmembers.

Some 30 sisters in residence atthe South Main Street conventwill have the option of relocatingto the community's Mont Marieconvent in Holyoke or to otherhousing in Fall River. Communitymembers at present serve at St.Mary's School, New Bedford, andSt. Stephen parish, Attleboro.

Fall River's two hospitals,Charlton Memorial and St.Anne's, are considering a merger.St. Anne's, operated by the Dom­inican Sisters of the Presentation,since its opening in 1906, is theonly Catholic hospital in the FallRiver diocese.

A memorandum distributed toall hospital employees May 24explained the thinking of hospitaladministrators in the matter. Itcame from Sister Joanna Fernan­des, OP, provincial superior of theDominican Sisters and chairper­son ofSt. Anne's Health Care Sys­tem, htc., and Sister-Dorothy Rug­giero, OP, chairperson of the hosp­ital's board of directors, on whichMsgr. Thomas J. Harringtonserves as a representative of thediocese. .' ."

The memorandum follows:We are writing to' you now on

behalf of the Dominican Sisters ofthe Presentation to share with youour thinking regarding St. Anne'sHospital.

As you know, the hospital has.been experiencing financial diffi­culty in the recent past. Even as wecontinue to provide high quality,wholistic care, the continued pro­vision of service tothe communityremains our highest priority. Withthat in mind, we have decided tobegin a discussion with CharltonMemorial Hospital.

As part of this discussion thesisters have been carefully consid­ering their sponsorship and theirability to continue this sponsor­ship. Sponsorship of the hospitalis black and white - Catholic ornon-Catholic. We recognize thatthe discussion with Charlton, oreven other options, may not bepossible under the sisters' spon­sorship. Because we feel the avail­ability of access to healthcare is sovital to this community, we arewilling to consider the possibilityof transferring our sponsorship toensure continued access to healthcare, if it be~omes nece·ssary.

WASHINGTON (CNS) - U.S.government officials, at a recentcongressional hearing, defendedU.S. efforts to combat worldhunger, but a Catholic Relief Ser­vices official said U.S. efforts comeup short.

Archbishop ou~ted

v ATICAN CITY. (eNS) - PopeJohn Paul II has appointed anapostolic administrator'for Haiti'smai'n ~rchdiocese, i~ effect remov­ing pastoral power from contra­ve~ialArchbishop Francois-WolffLigonde. The Vatican ·said thatBishop Joseph Lafontant had beennamed to administer the Port-au­PrinCe archdiocese, although Arch­bishop Ligonde remains nominalhead of the see.

the power to live a truly wonderfullife. Every ,human being ought tolook inside and thank the goodLord that there is unused strengthnot drawn on - and then startdrawing on it." - Norman Vin-cent Peale .

As of June 28, there will be sixactive U.S. cardinals, two retiredc.ardinals, and two working in Vat­ican posts.

In addition, Cardinal MyroslavI. Lubachivsky, head ofthe Ukrain­ian Catholic Church worldwide, isa naturalized U.S. citizen whorecently returned to the Ukraineafter decades 'out of the Sovietrepublic.

Cardinal-designate Mahony saidat a May 29 press conference, "It isvery important for me, and for allof us, to remember that this eleva­tion to the College of Cardinals isnot so much a reward for past per­formance as it is a 'challenge forincreased future pastoral activity."

VATICAN CITY (CNS) - PopeJohn Paul II has approved beatifi­cation of 71 brothers and priestskilled in anticlerical violence dur­ing the. 1936-39 Spanish civil war.Members of the Brothers of theHospitaller Order of St. John ofGod, the religious, who were work­ing in Spanish hospitals, were exe­cuted soon after fighting brokeout. The pope decreed they were to'be considered martyrs; "killed inhatred ofthe faith." '

Curia in posts traditionally heldby cardinals win step up to thatrank.

Cardinal~designateKung was inprison pn charges of spreadingRoman Catholicism within Chinawhen the pope secretly named hima cardinal in 1979. He was paroledto house arrest in 1985 and shortly

: after his sentence was commutedin 1988 came to the United Statesfor medical treatment and has lived

.near relatives in Connecticut eversince.

Other prelates from communist. Eastern Europe were RomanianArchbishop Alexandru Todea andCzechoslovakian Bishop Jan Chry­zostom Korec. Both spent manyyears in prison during state perse­cution of the church.

In addition to cardinal-designate·Kung, two other appointees are 80or older, thus ineIigible to elect anew pope. They are Jesuit FatherPaolo Dezza, 89, who was interimhead ,of the Jesuits during it 1980speriod of rocky relations betweenthe Holy See and the order, andArchbishop Guido del Mestri, 80,a Yugoslavian-born former papalnuncio. They will receive the car­dinal's red hat mainly as a sign ofpapal gratitude and esteem.

With the elevation 'of cardinals­designate Mahony and Bevilacqua,the latter a lawyer' as well as acleric, to the College of Cardinals,the United States now has 10cardinals.:· .

Few surprises in cardinal appointmentsWASHINGTON (CNS) ­

There was only one big surprisewhen Pope John Paul II named 22new cardinals May 29, and thatwas his announcement that aChinese bishop had been a cardi­nal for 12 years.

Pope John Paul now has named10 I cardinals - including 75 per­cen~ of all cardinals eligible to votefodi new pope - in five roundsduring his pontificate.

When he named the new cardi-'nals, including two Americans,Pope John Paul II revealed thaiBishop Ignatious Kung Pin-mei,89, of Shangliai had been a cardi­nal"in pectore" since 1979. He willbe formally installed with the 22new nominees at a June 28 con­sistory.

The two new American cardi­nals are Archbishop Roger M.Mahony of Los Angeles and Arch­bishop Anthony J. Bevilacqua ofPhiladelphia.

The pope said his appointments"reflect in an eloquent way theuniversal character of the church." .The new cardinals include prelatesfrom Zaire, the Philippines, Argen­tina, Ireland,' Australia and theDominican Republic, among othercountries.

The pope's selections, however,were weighted this time toward theVatican Curia and Europe. They 1

included 14 Europeans, seven ofthem Italian.

Four archbishops in the Roman

the Polish-Ukrainian border. At ameeting with Ukrainian Catholicshe announced that they would begiven the Latin-rite Church of theSacred Heart, and he proclaimedthe church to be the cathedral ofthe Ukrainian Diocese ofPrzemysl.

Pope John Paul said that "anyattempt to revive the historicalnationalisms and aversions wouldbe against Christian identity and aglaring anachronism, unworthy oftwo great nations." Some 10,000Ukrainians crossed into Poland tosee the pope.

Also making the cross-bordertrip was Ukrainian Cardinal Myro­slav Lubachivsky of Lvov, who,because of a freer climate for relig­ion in the Soviet Unioll, was.able .to take up residence in his see inApril.

Speaking to Latin-rite Catho­lics later in Lubaczow, the head­'quarters for the part of the Latin.:rite Archdiocese of Lvov whichremains in Poland, the pope con­tinued his plea for unity betweenthe rites.

At a June 4 Mass in Lomza, thepope expressed ,concern for Polishfarmers' economic problems andgreeted some 15,000 Lithuanianswho crossed the border to see him.

He praised the "healthy moraltradition" of farm families, andasked them to preserve that tradi­tion. He told them that God is theGood Shepherd of human loveand that God designed love to be"beautiful, lasting, faithful andilldissoluble."

"May our whole society shrugoff that illusion offreedom, offreelove, which attempts to cloak thetruth ofadultery and debauchery,"he said.

Pope John Paul said he wasaware of the way in which the newPolish government;s move towarda market economy has affectedfarmers who are losing both guar­a!1teed prices and buyers.

The economic reform programmust take into consideration thespecial needs of farmers, he said,but it cannot be done "separatelyfrom the reform of the entire eco­nomic _system."

Apartment and house windowsof Lomza, a city of 54,000 people,were decorated with p,ictures ofthe Polish-born pope surroundedby flowers and flags - both ofPoland and Lithuania. In thenortheast part' of the Diocese ofLomza there is a community of10,000 ethnic Lithuanians, justunder half of all ethnic Lithuani­ans living in Poland.

Cardinal Vincentas SladkeviCiusof Kaunas', 'Lithuania, who led the .delegation ofhis countrymen'acrossthe borde{for the Mass,' said hewill invite the pope to visit the BaJ-tic nation. ;.

"We want the'pope in Lithuan­ia," said .Father Saulius Filipavi­cius, another of those making theborder crossing. "If he comes be­fore our independence, that will befine."

Ukrainian Catholic Church in theSoviet Union in 1946, and Poland'scommunist government followedsuit. Both governments closed someUkrainian church buildings andfound different uses for others,

. often converting them into schoolsor museums.

KOSZALIN, Poland (CNS) ­Pope John Paul II, making hisfirst papal visit to post-communistPoland, asked his fellow Poles torestore morality and truth wherevernearly five decades ofcommunismhad shattered them.

On the second day of his visit healso tried to diffuse some long­standing tensions between Polesand ethnic Ukrainians in the south­eastern part of the country.

Arriving June I for 'his fourthpapal trip to Poland, Pope JohnPaul expressed joy in the changesthat have taken place in his home­land. He began his second daywith a meeting with members ofthe military, previously forbiddenby the Communists.

"May this first meeting betweena Polish pope and the Polish armyremain a symbol of a 'new begin­ning' in the life of society and ofthe nation whose son I am," hesaid June 2 at the Koszalin mil-itary .airport. .

Landing in the Baltic Coast citythe day before, he said, "my deepdesire is to preach peace" which"decreases hopelessness, restoresharmony and stimulates love."

President Lech Walesa, in his'welcoming address at the Koszalinairport, credited the pope withmany of the changes.

"A free homeland is the fruit ofthe seed that you, too, have sown,"he said.

Celebrating Mass that eveningwith some 150,000 rain-drenchedPoles, the pope said the Ten Com­mandments provide a moral foun­dation for human life.

He is highlighting one of theTen Commandments in homiliesat each stop throughout his June1-9 visit.

At his June 2 meeting with themilitary, the pope thanked soldiersand militia who resisted atheistindoctrination and behavior whichviolated morality or harmed thenation.

In January Pope John Paulnamed Bishop Slawoj Glodz tohead the renewed military ordinar-'iate, the first time since 1939 thatsuch an appointment was possiblein Poland.

The pope, whose father was aPolish official in the Austro-Hun­garian army, told the troops thatPoland has a "knightly-soldierlytradition" of conscientious, moralservice to the nation.' ,

Caution urged on women's pastoral

SOVIET WORSHIPERS gather in St. Louis Church, the only functioning Catholicchurch in Moscow. Its pastor, Father Fransik Rachiunas, has doubled the number of SundayMasses to six. His main problem is finding a place in which to conduct religious ed~cationclasses. (CNS photo) , '

men] strongly affirm the church'steaching on the regulation ofbirths,there are many others who areprofoundly disturbed by the same.Women spoke of personal suffer­ing, of constant fear of unwantedpregnancy...."

Bishop Imesch said the bishopsmust find a way to reflect thosesentiments but "not say just be­cause someone is caused pain bysomething that therefore churchteaching should be changed."

On the question of anthropol­ogy - what it means to be human,male or female - some partici­pants thought the bishops' ap­proach "was not sufficiently inaccord" with the papal apostolicletter, Archbishop Pilarczyk said.

"This does not say that thesecond draft is therefore wrong,"he said. "There are a number ofways in which you can approachthe speculation" on the nature ofhuman beings.

The concerns about how Maryis presented as a model for thechur'ch and for its male and femalemembers focused' on the seco'nddraft's emphasis on the disciple­ship of Mary.

"I think that what they were try­ing to, say was let'~ not stress theauthorita,tive 'leadership role" asmuch.as the role of Maryasser­vant, as mother of Christ andmother of 'tlW ,~hurch, BishopImesch said. ..,A,Q,other of C;lrdiOli.rRatzi~ger's

that a Vatican Study on the,possi­bil,i~y ofwonjeq'de'a<;ons "be under~taken arid bro'ugh(lo compJetionsoon" and the opening' of non­ordained ministries to women.

'~The comments were that tnesethings 'are under study.. 'they'vebeen under study for' alfong time,the study isn't ,over yet and 'it's notgoing to help ifyou bishops clamorfor the, co~pletion of:these stud7ies," Archbishop Pilarczyk said.

The bishops weren't told, to'.'delete" $tbose passages" J>ut the,meeting participants who raisedthe'is's~ "said'these are proble­matic," he said.

Archbishop Pilarczyk said 'noone in the meeting suggested thatthe project be scrapped, althoughsome groups and some bishops inthe United States have made thatsuggestion.

"I'm full steam ahead," Bishoplmesch said.

ordination be open to women andthat the Vatican quickly completea study on the possibility of or­daining women deacons.

A statement issued by all theparticipants at the end of the meet­ing praised the U.S. bishops fortheir "pastoral solicitude" in under­taking the project and for "havinglistened to the concerns of manywomen before drafting the docu­ment."

But it listed "three major areasof concern" with the second draft:

- "The precise nature of thedocument and the related questionof methodology," meaning its levelof authority and the way informa­tion from the consultations waspresented in the draft.

- "The need for a more pro­found anthropology, especially inthe light of Pope John Paul II'sapostolic letter 'Mulieris Dignita­tem' on the dignity and vocation ofwomen.

- "The need to develop morefully the Marian dimension of thechurch." ,

Archbishop Pilarc~yk said thethree concerns corresponded tothe main point,S listed at the begin­ning of the ~eeting by CardinalJoseph Ratzinger, prefect of theVatican Congregation for the Doc­trine of the Faith., Downgrading the authority ofthe documeqt carries the "veryreal" danger of some people think­ing the issu~s ,aren't .as ImP<?rtantas those in, earlier pastorals ,onpeace and the economx'or that thesuggestions for, action. in ~h~.

"I do not believe that is what isin the second draft," the archbishopsaid.

Bishop Imesch said he hopedthe concern would not lead to thedeletion of statements "expressingreality."

ROME (CNS) - U.S. bishopsat a Vatican consultation wereadvised to "walk cautiously" withtheir planned pastoral documenton women, said Archbishop DanielE. Pilarczyk.

The archbishop, president ofthe National Conference ofCatho­lic Bishops, said many participantsat the May 28-29 meeting felt thedocument should not carry theweight ofa pastoral letter, but be apastoral statement or other type ofdocument with "a lesser value ofauthority."

While that decision and the,pseof other suggestions will be left tothe U.S. bishops, he said, "if wehave our heads screwed on tightwe are going to listen to the input"because it is "valuable theologicaland pastoral input."

Archbishop Pilarczyk and theeight other U.S. participants spokewith reporters May 29 at' Rome'sNorth American- College, a U.S.seminary.

"We are dealing with issues herethat ar,e very complex, some ofwhich are going to have reson­ances throughout the world," hesaid. ,

"Many of the members [at theVatican meeting] thought it wouldbe better to walk cautiously and goslowly rather: than shoot all the bigguns at once," the archbishop said.

hear you. Not just mommy anddaddy and everyone else, but youall by yourself. Thinking about itgives you a funny feeling in yourstomach. Decide you like it if theycan.

Near the end of Mass be curiousabout when they sing all thoseother songs in the book. You onlysang three. Ask daddy. He willreply, "That's, a good question."He must not know either.

At the end of Mass, the womanin the pew in front of you mightturn around and say, "My, younglady, you have a lovely singingvoice."

Say, "Thanks," and put the hym­nal back into the pew rack withoutdropping it. Don't worry if it isupside,down.

over one person's failure torespond to another's love. Itpresents the classic situation of"I want you to want me, baby,just like I want you." The re­jected individual is out to"change your mind in someway, somehow."

The power that 1speak abouthas to do with both situations.The first is a clear example ofthe power in our choices. Howeach of us chooses to live willdetermine what happens to thisplanet.

In contrast, the second des­cribes only the illusion ofpower, for we c'an never make

'another person love us.Using true power brings

what we seek through our ownefforts. Having a sustainable,quality life on Earth remains inquestion. Some in the scientificcommunity state that what hap­pens during the next 10 yearswill give us the answer.

If we do not use our power tochange our lifestyle and live inmore environmentally sensitiveways, then we may have passedthe time when today's damagecan be healed. Yet each of ushas power over our choices.The deeper question is how willwe use this power.

However, trying to make an­other "want" us speaks more ofcontrol than power. Certainlywe can choose how we will treatanother, but whether this per­son opens his or her heart to usis clearly up to the individual.

Love always remains a gift.We can always choose to givelove. How this will affectanother is not within the scopeof our power.

When we accept and use ourpower, giv,ing up the attempt tocontrol others, we learn more,about living in satisfying andsuccessful ways. We can allowour love to guide how we treatthe Earth and all who live uponit.

We can discover true powerwithin us and make a genuinedifference for our world. Mak­ing a decision to live in a lovingand concerned way createshope for all our futures.

on the pew between mommy anddaddy. Hold your hymnal open infront of you like they do. Ask whatpage you should turn to.

If mommy says, "I thought yousaid you couldn't read," say: "Ican't. But I can sing." Logic is notall on the adult-s' side, you know.

Listen to how nicely mommysings. Unfortunately, daddydoesn't. Wonder if he can hearhimself. Decide he probably-can't,or he wouldn't sing.

Try to sing along with mommy.Don't worry about the words.Sing 'Mmmmmm ... awwww ... "uhhh ... ohhhaah" like daddydoes. Really enjoy the long soundslike "eee,""ing" and "aww."Try tohold onto those notes as long asmommy, but be sure to take abreath if you have to.

Ask, "Who is Gloria?" Mommywill tell you gloria is not a person.It is a "word of praise." Point outto her that you have a friendnamed Gloria. Mommy will suckin her breath and exhale her oldstandby at you, "Let's talk about it'after Mass."

, Singing at Mass the small-fry wayBy Hilda Young

How to singat Mass if you are 3and a half.

Pull a hymnal (that's a song­book) out of the pew rack. Be care­ful. Hymnals are notoriouslyheavy. Set aside time 'to kind ofiron the pages back into shapewith your palm after you drop iton the kneeler and step on it tryingto pick it up.

This completed, place the hym­nal on your lap and solemnly turnthe pages. When your mommywhispers, "It's upside down,"remain cool. Say, "I don't care. Ican't read anyway."

Thoughtfully turn a few morepages' before' you turn the bookaround.' Note that the lines andmusic and other stuff on the pageslook very much the same as be­fore. Wonder why adults makesuch a big deal about it, especiallysince it doesn't have pictures. '

Ask your daddy why they callthe songbook a "himmel." He willsay, "Because it is a book ofhymns." Ask if there is anythingsuch as a "herrel."

When it is time to sing, stand up

Coming Up Short"To forgive our enemies, yet

hope that God will punish them, isnot to forgive enough. To forgivethem ourselves, and not pray toGod to forgive them, is partialcharity." - Sir Thomas Browne

2. "Bend my heart to do your, will, Lord" (Ps. 119:36).

3. "Lord, make my heart andmind c'ompletely new" (Eph. 4:23).

4. "Jesus, may I come to knowyour love" (Eph. 3: 19).

5. "Lord, may my thoughts bepleasing to you" (Ps. 104:34).

6. "Jesus, help me show a gentleattitude toward alI" (Phil. 4:5).

After you've made use of one or, more of these prayers for several

weeks, you might find it helpful totry to find a quiet time and placenow and then to meditate on oneof these prayers. Maybe you couldchoose a different prayer eachweek.

You can trigger some thoughtson these pray,ers with questionssuch as these:

What could "bend my heart"mean? Would this have somethingto do with being unbending andstubborn? Am I ever stubborn?Could it be that such stubbornnesscan only be defeated with the helpof the Lord?

Are my mind and heart in a rut,maybe a rut of selfcenteredness?What might happen to me andthose around me if gradually overthe next few years the Lord mademy heart and mind "completelynew?"

You may frame similar ques­tions for each of the prayers, andperhaps the answers to those ques­tions will lead you to other infor­mal prayers of your own making.

And you'll be on your way to aricher, more rewarding life and toa closer friendship with the perfectfriend.

\

THESE FIRST COMMUNICANTS from St. Julie'sparish, North Dartmouth, were among participants in a Maycrowning that included prayers and hymns.

By Tom LennonHow much time should a person

spend praying each day? I have ananswer that will boggle your mind.It comes from a Christian wholived in the I~th century and who

~ became an expert pray-er, St.Teresa of Avila in Spain.

Here is, her mind-bogglinganswer: two hours each day.

Two hours?Even Mass isn't that long! And,

there wouldn't be much time leftfor television! Besides, who couldever pay attention that long to aGod you can't even see?

My young friend Guy, a recover­ing alcoholic, told me recently thatfor the past year he has spentabout 15 minutes almost every daymeditating on words of Jesus inthe New Testament.

He was aghast when I mention­ed Teresa's two hours and said,"How could anyone do that?"

But I wonder: Do Guy's short 15minutes seem awfully long to you?Do you wonder how anyone couldconcentrate on prayer for 15 longminutes?' '

'Perhaps this' is the answer:People grow' into prayer, Theyoung bodybuilder starts out withlight weights and eventually worksup to bench":pressing 350 pounds.

Might a young Christian, sim­ilarly, start out with very shortperiods'of prayer- and, as the yearsgo by, lengthen his or her prayertime?

Here are some lightweight pray­ers, short- but important, all basedin some way on biblical passages.You can use one or all of them atany time of the day or night and asoften as you wish.

At the end of each prayer is the_chapter and verse of the biblicaltext on which the prayer is based.

1. "Lord, help me to seek youwith all my heart" (Ps. 119: 10).
