A YOUNG BOY STANDS ON A HILL OVERLOOKING THE NOW TERRORIZED COUNTRY:SIDE. OF RWANDA

'''Forbidden is the countryside, the high roads untr,ave~led;the drawn sW'ordthreatens, and peril is all about us." Jer. 6:25

By Cardinal Roger MahonyArchbishop of Los Angeles

Two court decisions - a juryverdict in Michigan, and a consti­tutional ruling by a federal judgein Washington state - have raisedthe stakes in our national debateon euthanasia.

A Michigan jury's May 2 ac­quittal of Jack Kevorkian wasshocking to many of us who believein the rule of law: The state had aclear statute against assisting asuicide, and the defendant openlyconfessed his involvement. ButKevorkian and his attorney wovea web. of confusion around thisinitially simple case. Jurors ulti­mately said they weren't sure inwhat county the death took place,or whether Kevorkian intended tocause death.. Judge Rothstein's May 3 deci­sion, claiming that Washingtonstate's law against assisted suicideis unconstitutional, displayed evenmore confusion.

The judge compared physician­assisted suicide to abortion, and tothe refusal of life-sustaining treat­ment, arguing that it should haveequally strong legal protection.

This made no sense in light ofthe legal precedents she had chosen.Ever since it was made aconstitu­tional "right" in 1973, legalizedabortion has existed without mean­ingful qualification. States maynot prevent abortions at any stage,for any reason, for women ofanyage or condition: Wherever it istreated as a constitutional right,the right to refuse treatment alsoextends far beyond "terminally iII'~

America magazineAmerica, the national Jesuit weekly magazine, is celebrating

its 85th year. In the rather confused and sometimes messyworld of church publications, this record is not merely one ofsurvival but of achievement.

There are few who would deny the influence of Americaupon the Catholic reading community. Historically, it hasbeen on the proverbial cutting edge of issues that deeply affectAmerican Catholic family life. For that very reason, it has notalways been well received in circles that can be best describedas those of the comfort~ply ensconced establishment.

The print mission of the Jesuit community in the UnitedStates began in the mid-ni.neteentli century with publication ofthe familiar Messenger of the Sacred Heart magazine. Popularand pious, it had a large and varied readership.

But as the Jesuit mission expanded to serve the specializedendeavor of educating an immigrant population, a consensuswas reached that a m6re intellectual vehicle was needed, alongthe lines of the scholarly works the Society had for yearspublished in Europe.

It was in this historical context that America was launchedin 1909. Like so many things Jesuit, it did not come easy. Bothfrom within the community and in some areas of the diocesan 'church, a rather scornful attitude greeted its beginnings. Someof this mind-set persists, especially in lighcof what some con­sider the present state of the Jesuit family.

'Yet, despite such attitudes, America has succeeded well in its, mission. One cannot say that it is a popular publication in thesense of having a large circulation - but what Catholic publi­cation has? It is a magazine that does ,its best to examine anqreport on the temper ofthe times. Some might call it somewhaterudite and liberal; others feel it doesn't reach the masses.

In other words, it can be controversial, one 'could even sayvery Jesuitical. But few could deny its importance in the life ofthe American Catholic press.

The Jesuits have their detractors and skeptics and are cur­rently in a risky state of searching and discerning. As a result,some of the positions they take are called into question, espe­cially in the area of Catholic higher education. .

Indeed, in the course of their fascinating history, the Jesuitsseem to have gathered as many detractors as supporters, espe­cially within the church. !But this has not deterred them fromtheir mission.

At a time whenman'y are armchair Catholics, it is the Jesuitswho are adding martyrs to the rolls of glory. The recent Jesuitmassacres in Central America and Rwanda are poignantreminders of the courage of the sons of Ignatius who ignoresecular dangers to bring the word to all parts of the world.There are few communities in today's Church that are suffer­ing so dearly for the Cross. Some may be cynics with regard tothe Jesuits, but we can never cease to be amazed at theirendurance and survival.

It is in tribute to this spirit that congratulations are dueAmerica. We might not agree with some of its views, but itwould be a terrible tragedy to banish it to the old Index ofprohibited reading, as some might wish.

America has served the church in this country with honestyand integrity for 85 years. May it continue to be a true reflec­tion of the church in teaching and thought, loyal always to thespirit of Ignatius and the wonderful traditions of the Jesuit

, family.

Tough timesexpected in

South AfricaCAPE TOWN, South Africa

(CNS) - South Africa's new gov­ernment will have a tough timemeeting people's high expectations,says Father Smangaliso Mkhat­shwa, who will serve in the nationalassembly as a member of the Afri­can National Congress.

Bishop Mogale Paul Nkhum­ishe of Witbank, South Africa,gave Father Mkhatshwa permis­ston to serve in government for amaximum of five years. The priestwas formerly secretary-general ofthe Southern African CatholicBishops' Conference and has re­signed as director of the Instituteof Contextual Theology in Preto­ria in order to assume his new job,which he calls a "frightening chal­lenge."

"People can't fold their armsand expect the government to de­liver," he said. "They must be will­ing to join hands with the govern­ment to bring about the desiredfundamental changes,

"Houses won't get rained downfrom heaven. Someone has to buildthem. The government has to play .its part, while the people must bepartners in the provision of theseneeds."

Father Mkhatshwa said althoughpeople's expectations "are notgoing to be met overnight," thegovernment has to act swiftly sothat "people are able to see that atleast a process has been set inmotion for tangible and visiblechange."

The priest, who was torturedand spent time in prison underSouth Africa's system ofapartheid,said justice and reconciliationwould be his particular concerns.

Father Mkhatshwa, who said henever owned a car, said his valueswould remain the same even though

considered inappropriate. It pla­ces undue attention and emphasison that particular intention ratherthan on the universal applicationof Christ's sacrifice.

Most parish bull¢tins carry a listof the Mass intentions for the fol­lowing week. If an additional an­nouncement is desired, one moreliturgically· and theologicallyproper, and less likely to be misin­terpreted might be, "John or JaneDoe is being rem~mbered at thisMass."

Q. There's a confusing note inthe New American Bible relatingto I Samuel 28:12. it says "Humanbeings cannot com\llunicate at willwith the souls of the dead."

If that is true, why do we pray tothe Blessed Virgin Mary and theother saints, asking them to inter­cede for us? (MissQuri)

A. This biblical note appears inconnection with King Saul's visitto the witch at EndQr. Saul, alreadyseriously deranged, asked the witchto conjure up the dead prophetSamuel, to seek his advice on thewar against the Philistines.

As you say, the explanatorynote could be con,fusing, but it isthis sort of superstitious effort toextract information from the deadthat is referred to.

Offering prayers to those whohave gone to God before us, espe­cially to the. saints, simply asksthem to offer their prayers to theheavenly Father in our favor.

We trust, as patt of our belief inthe communion of saints, that theseprayers "reach" those who havegone before us.

But we do not expect, or evenwant, to seem to coerce them inany way to materialize before us,to predict the futljre or to relay tous any other hidden informationin a manner outside of God's prov­idence.

In other words, our communi­cation with those who have died isentirely different from what is callednecromancy, attempting to makethe dead present, by magic or

Proto'colfor Massintentions

Q. Because of my 'Work, I attendMass in many different citiesaround the country. My questioninvolves Mass intentions.

In many parishes, the priest sayssomething like, "Thi!. Mass is beingoffered for John Jones." Some­times the name is e\'en mentionedagain in the prayers for the dead.

In other churches" names for theMass intentions aren't mentionedat all. What is the correct rule?(Indiana)

A. The custom of giving a Massoffering of some sort for the needsof the church's ministers and thecommunity has existed for cen­turies.

During all this time, however,the church has needed to struggleto keep this custom from beingmisunderstood and to avoid anyapparent commercialism aboutthese offerings.

We need to keep a few doctrinesin mind. Most of all, we must donothing to confuse the fact that theintention of every sacrifice of theMass is as universal and broad asthe intention of our Lord at thefirst offering of this sacrifice onCalvary.

The intention of Jesus Christthen remains the same as he con­tinues that offering in the personof the church, his body on earth.

As the eucharistic prayers andother parts of the Mass repeat inmany ways, every offering of thissacrifice is for the whole world, allpeople, past, present and future.

When a priest accepts a Massoffering, he accepts the responsi­bility to include that intention inhis prayers at Mass.

In the light of faith this seemsclearly to be the meaning of thechurch law which states, "It is law­ful for any priest who celebrates orconcelebrates Mass to receive anoffering to apply the Mass accord­ing to a definite intention" (Canon945).

There is no "correct rule" abouthow to announce this. We allunderstand, of course, that no one"buys" a monopoi,y, as it were, ona particular offering of the eucha­ristic sacrifice.

A statement thata Massis"beingoffered for" an individual, or toinclude that naml~ specifically inthe prayers for the dead during theEucharistic Prayc:r, is generally

If she is alIowed to mak,: mis­takes as a teen, some smalI foolish,purcha~estoday may prevent largerfoolish purchases in her adult years.

FinalIy, you might offer herincentives to change her spendingways. You might insist that shecomplete alI or almost all of herschool assignments every week.You can arrange through a gui­dance counselor to get a weeklyreport. Repeatedly missing a!:sign­ments would be grounds for cut~

ting back work hours. If she con­tinues to fulfill all her re!ipOn­sibilities, she deserves your respectand praise.

You might encourage saving byoffering to match any amount shesaves from her paycheck. Match­ing funds go into a special acc:ountpaid out only for a specific goalsuch as taking a trip or attendingcollege.

Foolish spending is not limited·to the young. You might tolerate itas a learning experience. If youtake action, try to use po!:itiveincentives.

world, they must pay for their ownnecessities. They actualIy have lessto spend than they did as high'schoolers.

What you choose to do aboutyour daughter's spending dependson what you expect her to achieveby working. Here are some possi­ble plans.

Do you provide her with spend­ing money? Ifso, you might requireher to purchase alI luxuries andpersonal items out of her earnings.

As an extreme measure you canprobably confiscate her money.As long as you are supporting her,it is not, strictly speaking, all hers.Few parents, however, wouldchoose this course. The incentiveto work would be lost, and thedamage to the parent-child rela­tionship severe.

You and your daughter mightreach an agreement on her spend­ing. TelI her directly why you areconcerned. You might restrain herspending by I) limiting the hoursshe may work; 2) requiring her toput a certajn percentage in sav­ings; 3) requiring that parentsapprove alI purchases over a cer­tain amount.

As sensible as these restraintssound, there is a basic problem.One goal of earning and spendingas a teen is to learn from the'expe­dence. Your daughter is a beginnerat managing money, and beginnersmake mistakes.

with them. Sometimes this is by'touch, as with his "black brother,"Frederick. I, :r

"Frederick," Father Morriss~ywrote, "pulIed open his pajamarop to show me the tumor again,his voice quivering as he recountedthe relentless pain in his side....

"Remembering the lessons thenurses had given us about 'thera­peutic touch,' I tried to relax andlet myself be completely present toFrederick and his pain. I askedGod to use me as a channel for hisheali ng power of love. Very gentlyI placed the fingers of my righthand on his tumor. Slowly I moved.my hand back and forth, caressingit in my;palm. I felt shy doing this,but good, too. It brought the spir­itual and physical dimensions ofpastoral ministry together in a waythat I loved,"

That's powerful imagery.The touching was an important

part of his journey, Father Mor­rissey told me, saying that weshouldn't wait until we're dying to"let someone in. Why hold back?Let them in to your revolting side.That's what life is about. Then, atthe end, you can let go inore grace­fulIy," he said, explaining this iswhy he chose the title, "Let Spme­one Hold You:"

He said it was amazing "howpeople ·let me into their mostvulnerable spaces. Think of it,their homes. We're not talkingabout a hospital ... but a home,with clutter, dirty laundry, vasesof-flowers, a blasting radio - theirmost vulnerable physical and emo-'tional space," Father Morrisseysaid..

He is now 'back in pastoralcounseling, working in the Bronxwhere he helps "really hurtingpeople," But he acknowledges hehas been forever changed by hiswork with the dying, believing hewas the one who gained the mostfr<?m his..hospice years.

Death u.sed to. be a taboo topic,but current bestseller lists revealthe popularity of books on' thesubject. People may be' p'uttingaside their discomfort or fear inconfronting the inescapable real­ity that life on this earth one dayends.

One new book in this genre is"Let Someone Hold You,'~ auth­ored by Father Paul Morrissey, anAugustinian priest, and published.by Crossroad.

The subtitle tells that the book is"The Journal of a Hospice Priest."Taking this journey with FatherMorrissey - whose pastoral carehas been for the urban, often poorpeople of the Bronx in New York- is unforgettable:

I met Father Morrissey recently.He isa warm and' caring personwho still gets tearful when he recallssome of 'the dying people he hasserved.. His hospice work cameabout after he accepted a job aspastoral care coordinator for thehospice program of the VisitingNurse Service in New York City.

With a doctorate in pastoralcounseling, he chose to work ingay and prison ministries. Alwayshe asked himself, "Where do I stilltake what I learned in the class­room? Where are the settings where

·the greater need exists?" He fou!,!dan.answer in Hospice.

You can't read his journal with­out being profoundly moved, both·for the people close to death andfor this priest who makes contact11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

people seem willing to give it up., One mark of up-to-date, post­Vatican II Catholic spirituality isthe conviction that the humanbody is good. Yet this spiritualityseems ready to abandon traditionalpostures and gestures of prayerand not: replace them with newones.

Does this mean the body isgood, but not good enough toinclude in our praye.rand wor.ship?

Com~orting the d·ying.

Curbing teen spending,Dear Mary: My daughter is a

junior in high school. She doeswell in school, participates in schoolplays and holds a parttime job. Myconcern is the way she handles themoney' from her job.

She has more clothes than willfit in her room, yet she seems tospend every pay.check on stilI more

. clothes. I realize it is her money,but I feel she has become extrava­gant (which her parents are not).

Is this a· passing phase? Is it .something to be concerned about?- Iowa

You are not the only concerned. adult. Teen spending is big busi­

ness. According to Teenage Re­search Unlimited, 12- to 19-year­olds spent $93 bilIion of their ownand parents' money in 1992.

Although some teens may worktoward long-term goals such ascolIege, the majority do not.According to a high school surveyof teens by the ColIege for Finan-

, ciaI Planning, the typical weeklytake-home pay was $80 and thetypical weekly savings $5. In brief,teens spend a lot of money..

Researcher Jerry Bachman from,the University of Michigan haseven coined a term, "prematureaffluence," for the situation youdescribe. Since high school teensare .supported by their parents,they can use·alItheir ear.nings forluxuries. When they leave highschool for colIege or the work

is nothing disrespectful aboutstanding. In 3,25 A.D., the FirstCouncil of Nicaea declared that onSundays and the days of Pentecosteveryone should stand during theEucharist, not kneel.

Does thIs mean that on alI theweekdays outside Pentecost peo­ple could kneel or sit if they wanted

'to? Is it relevant that at the LastSupper Jesus and his disciplesprobably reclined on cushions?

Regardless, I think the rhythmof standing, kneeling and sittingthat characterized the old liturgymakes practical and spiritual sense.Frequent changes of posture led tobodily involvement in the liturgi­cal experience. Standing, kneeling,and sitting can alI be prayerfulpositions.

Today, however, liturgical timesto kneel are rare, and I miss it. Is itbetter for our spirituality to hardlyever kneel?

Most Catholics, I dare say, wouldfind it difficult to be that bodilyabout their devotion to God, evenin church. Not to worry, since onlystanding and sitting are au courant.

Another 'prayer gesture is to 'trace a smalI sign of the cross over

'forehead, lips and heart. Tradi­tionalIy, Catholics use this gestureduring the prayer before the Gos­pel reading at Mass.

This little bodily prayer calIs forthe Word of God to be in ourmind, on our lips, and in our heart.It is difficult to say whether thisdevotional gesture is on its wayout or not, but many priests and

I am reluctant to get sentimentalabout the pre-Vatican II church. Iappreciate "the old days" as muchas the next person, but I do notcrave a return to the churchly daysof yore.

It is 'with some hesitation, then,that I pose the following question:Are we Catholics forgetting ourbodies?

As I recall, in the old days thebody had a healthy place in Catho­lic worship and spirituality. We'genuflected in church out of respectfor the Blessed Sacrament. Youmight calI this a way to pray withone's body. Today, judging by thelarge number of people who don'tgenuflect, I'd say the bended kneeis on its way out.

During the pre-Vatican II LatinMass, the priest prayed three times,"Domine, non sum dignus ..." be-'fore receiving communion. Thepeople in the congregation made agentle fist. Then they softly strul:kthe vicinity of their heart threetimes as a bodily prayer of humility.

Now we pray, "Lord, I am notworthy .. ," only once, and almostnobody uses the old prayerfulgesture.

Recently, a debate surfaced inthe letters-to-the-editor section ofa dicesan newspaper. Letter wri­ters argued about whether the COII­gregation should kneel or stand atMass during and after the consec­ration.

Some Catholics insist it's irrev­erent to stand. Others believethere

God's loveDear Editor;

Early one morning while walk­ing on a country road, I saw thetiniest sparrow hopping in thebrush. I paused and watched itcarefully choosing and consumingtiny morsels of plant life. Its deli­cate body encased with perfectlymatched feathers was a marvel tome. Having never been so close toa sparrow without frightening itaway, I was mesmerized by its del­icate features.

While watching this wonder ofnature, I recalled Christ's assuran­ces that his heavenly Father caresfor the birds of the air. I realizedthis brief interlude was anotherreminder of God's love for me. Hegave this tiny country inhabitantthe instinct to select his 'nourish- .ment and know where to find it.

It seems all too often I ampreoccupied with daily pressuresand forget that God is alwaysthere. Even as the sparrow is guidedto that which he needs, so too, willGod lead and provide for me. Mycountry sparrow with all its natu­ral finery and wisdom remindedme of God's ever presenflove andcare.

Dear Editor:I request you publish "The Two

Thomases." I personally feel it willdo much good. .

"Thomas Aquinas believed thatgovernments have a moral respon­sibility to serve people and to helpthem lead virtllous lives. He de­clared that governments must notviolate what he considered humanrights: life, education, religion andrep rod uction.

"Thomas also taught that, to bejust, laws passed by human beingsmust not contradict divine law."

ogy, which at best can be called apseudo-science, and at worst, purehucksterism. There was hardly ahint in the article that graphologyis anything less thar an eminentlysuccessful method of personalityand psychologic ~valuation. Inpoint of fact, it is only somewhatmore respectable than phrenology,iridology and palmistry.

To a great extent, graphologyhas as a basis an interdisciplinaryplay on words: bold letter "I"sspeaking of self-assertiveness;writing to the left of the page indi­cating a fear of advancing, or anexcessive attachment to the past,or to mother; etc. If graphologywere an objective science, then dif­ferent practitioner$ should comeup with similar conclusions, but itseems that the conclusions of dif­ferent graphologists are very sub­jective and may have more to dowith how they "read" the subjectpresent to them than the way they"read" the writing of a subjectwhom they have never met, andabout whom they know nothing.

The way we write may havemore to do with our eyesight, withour teachers, with the muscles ofour hand, with the ,type of writingimplement used when learning theskill of writing, etc., than with anexpression of our basic personality.

Certainly the front page of thediocesan newspaper could well befilled with more to do with divinefaith; than blind faith in an un­proven hypothesis at the very fringeof science.

by Mrs. Jeanne Harris of St.Patrick's parish, Somerset, for useon a memorial card for her par­ents, Mary Ann and Bill Souza,who died ten months apart.

Togethl~r

One springtwo tendrils touched

and began to twi:§t and turnup life's lattil:ework

together.Summer rains nourished them,Autumn changes strengthened

their graspuntil a cruel winter storm

parted th,~m.

Many cold desperate days passedwhen miraculously

a warm Easter breeze blewand once again thE:y embraced,

climbing, racing upwarduntil they both SflW the light

and feIt the warmth of the suntogether.

Dear Editor:Our forefathers Wf:re God-fearing

men. They were industrious, hon­est and caring [but) in the course oftime the idea came: to some thatGod was not needed anymore. Wesee the result now: murders on thestreets, in homes, in schools. Noone is safe anymore. We must goback to what our country wasmeant to be.

How about a display of God'scommandment, "Thou shalt notkill" on billboard!., busses, sub­ways, in newspapers, for all to see.People in a position to help shouldaid the young people, especially.the poor, thus remembering them­selves another commandment:"Thou shalt love thy neighbor asthyself."

Before the pope's fall, most ofthe world's cardinals had rest:rva­tions to fly to Rome for a May9-10 meeting. Although someoneelse could have presided, the popedecided he'd rather postpone theevent for a month so he couldattend.

Many of the world's 140 cardi­nals are now planning to come toRome June 13-14.

While the pope may have a fewweeks off and miss a few eventswhich others take care of, even theslightest shifts in his schedule meanmore work for him later on.

It took most of 1993 for him toget caught up with the "ad limina"visits of bishops he missed after his1992 colon operation.

He also had a backlog of am-. bassadors waiting to present their

credentials as representatives tothe Vatican. Several big ceremo­nies, with one main talk and shor­tened individual ones, were nel:dedto take care of that diplomaticnecessity.

"He should slow down" was anoft-repeated phrase after the 1.992operation and again after he brokehis leg.

It was the center of debate at aMay II presentation of a boo:~ on"the itinerant pontiff' written byan Italianjournalist who has accom­panied the pope on most of hi.s 61foreign trips..

The journalist, Domenico DelRio, said the pope showed ."aninstinct to walk, to go among thepeople" from the moment of hiselection in October 1978.

completely normal" recovery ­according to Vatican spokesmanJoaquin Navarro-Valls - has filledhis convalescence with "slow newsdays." .

Dozens of journalists work full­time covering the Vatican and PopeJohn Paul, usually. writing storiesabout three or four papal speechesand meetings each day.

In the early years of Pope JohnPaul's mo....e than IS-year reign, ap~pal hospitalization sent Vatican­watchers to their files to revise listsof possible successors.

But papal comebacks - strongrecoveries from a 1981 assassina­tion attempt, a 1992 operation toremove a noncancerous colontumor and a late 1993 fall in whichhe dislocated his shoulder - seemto have created a hesitancy to startchecking out permanent replace­mentsjust because the pope checksinto the hospital.

Temporary replacements are an­other story, and with a packedpapal schedule involving hundredsof other people, stand:ins are a·necessity.

The pope, who is bishop ofRome, was supposed to ordain 39Roman deacons to the priesthoodMay 22. Cardinal Camillo Ruini,papal vicar for Rome, has beenasked to ordain the new priests.

As·of May 12, the Vatican had. not announced who would presideover the June 12 wedding Mass ofa dozen 'couples, which the popehad wanted to do for the Interna­tional Year of the family.

But some functions for whichonly a pope will d,o got scrubbedfrom the Vatican scht;dule. No onebut the pope can preside at a beati- .fication. So the May 15 ceremonyin Belgium to' proclaim blessedFather Damien' de Veuster, ·the"leper priest," had to be postponed.

Eight nuns will live their austerecontemplative life of prayer andmanual labor in a small housebuilt at the turn of the century forthe pontifical gendarms and useduntil recently by Vatican Radio.

The Poor Clares will remain atthe convent for five years, afterwhich the pope will invite an­other cloistered order to take theirplace. '

The Poor Clares were chosenfirst because this year the Churchcelebrates the 800th anniversary ofthe birth of St. Clare of Assisi,founder of the order.

Vatican spokesman JoaquinNavarro-Valles said the pope feelsthat Vatican City should be home'to a variety of types of religiousorders. In 1988 he welcomedMother Teresa's Missionaries ofCharity to the Vatican, where theylive and operate a homeless shelterand soup kitchen.

The Poor Clares are from Italy,Croatia, Nicaragua, Bosnia-Herze­govina, Canada and the Philip­pines. A Rwandan nun is also tobe among the group but she is notexpected to arrive immediately be­cause of the continued fighting inher homeland.

Father HessionFather Mark Hession, parochial vic:ar

Some patients, said Father Hession,feel that they aren't being allowed to die inpeace, that families want everything pos­sible done for a relative even if the personhas indicated that he or she is ready to let

. go of life. 'Defining euthanasia as an action whil:h

let him or her go if [the purpose) to care forsomeone we love and to respect thepatient's self-determination."

Former President Richard Nixon'srecent death is an example of the value ofappointing a health care proxy for one­self, Father Hession continued. In Ni:{­on's case, he had instructed his family thatno extraordinary means were to be take'n

. to prolong his life, at age 81 feeling that hehad lived fully and wa~ prepared to die.

can women demonstrates a "struc­ture of sin" engulfing African so­cieties. It said women need forma­tion not only to prepare for afamily role but to open up thecareers from which traditional andmodern society tend to excludethem. It was termed imperativethat women be included in churchdecision-making and that thechurch establish ministries forwemen and champion their rightsin areas such as widowhood, bride­price, 'pregnancy and singlemotherhood.

- Inculturation: The proposi­tions recommended that localchurches change parts of the litur­gical celebration in order to in­crease understanding and partici­pation by the fait!lful. It alsorecommended creati.on of a com­mission on marriage with marriedcouples among its I members tostudy African marriage from thepoint of view of theology, sacra­mentals, liturgy and ,canon law.

Also on inculturation, a propo­sition recommended that as longas worship of God and venerationof saints are not diminished, an­cestor veneration be permitted withappropriate liturgies.

- Family: The synod denouncedthe preparatory dO,cument of aU. N. population conference sched­uled for this September, saying itattempts to impose abortion andan immoral lifestyle upon the wholeworld.

The synod's final documentsaimed to encourage the Africanchurch's workforce, citing an in­crease in vocations and the grow­ing role of small Christian Com­munities. They rec<;>mmended areview of the system· of priestlyformation in Africa. and stressedthe value of priestly i:elibacy.

In expressing appreciation forthe work of me·n and women reli­gious in Africa, the synod made itclear that religious orders thathave not operated in Africa arenot encouraged to seek new voca­tions on the continent. Africanchurch leaders have complainedthat some orders are yxploiting thevocations boom on the continentin order to replenish their dwin­dling membership.

Documents, liturgy close Africa synodVATICAN CITY (eNS) - The

Synod of Bishops on Africa closeda month of celebration, speechesand pastoral debate with two finaldocuments and a rhythmic liturgyin St. Peter's Basilica.

The synod's conclusions envis­ioned a marriage of Christian andAfrican values that could helpinspire solutions to poverty, ethnichatred, personal alienation andinterreligious tensions.

"This synod gave expression togenuine African thoughts. We hopeit will be supported and publi­cized, because the African churchhas come to stay," said NigerianBishop Brian Usanga of Calabar.

The closing Mass, presided overby Nigerian Cardinal FrancisArinze, was enlivened by Africandrums and dancing. .

I n a sermon read by CardinalArinze, the pope said the synodillustrated the maturity of Africa's

, young and energetic local churches."Now we await the right moment

to transfer its fruits to your conti­nent," he said. The pope plans totravel to Africa to lead the second,"celebratory" phase of the assem­bly, probably in 1995.

Both documents explored inter- .nal church policies while speaking

I forcefully on African peace andjustice issues.

"On the eve of the 21 st century,when our identity is. being crushedin the mortar of a merciless chainof events, the fundamental need isfor prophets to arise and speak inthe name of the God of hope forthe creation of a new identity,"said the public mes.sa.~e.

What emerged from the mes­sage and propositions were generalpositions and. some specific pro­posals on key topics of synodaldebate:

- Economicjusticll: The synod,citing unjust trade terms and pric­ing systems, asked for substantial .if not total remission of the foreigndebt that "humiliates our nations."

- War and weapons: Africawas described as "bleeding andburning in many places," withongoing wars in Sudan, Rwanda,Somalia and elsewhere. Speakingin the name of millions of refugees,synod fathers urged U. N. inter­vention to establish peace.

- Women: The message said'the alienation felt by many Afri-

------------------------------------------------Teens find joyfulsp.irit buildjng hous~~ on mission trip

TIJUANA, Mexico (CNS) -, Most people of EIFlorido"live in shacks we wouldn't even let our dogsin."

Corbin King stood over a campfire talking aboutwhat he saw in that small Mexican village set in thehills south of Tijuana.

King was among 29 young people who came from.Resurrection Church in Tempe, Ariz., to build suita-,ble homes 'for families in Mexico. The youths con­structed nearly two houses during their recent five-daymission trip.. "It was an eye-opening expt,:rience," said the 15­year-old King in an interview with The Catholic Sun,Phoenix' diocesan newspaper. "I came here a verymaterialistic person. Now I'm much more thank'ful forwhat I have.

"It was a tough thing doing all that work by hand,but it was rewarding knowing that a.family who reallyneeded it was going to have the house,'; he said.

King was joined by other members' of Resurrec­tion's "Younited" teen group, one teen from St. Pius XChurch in Flagstaff, and six young adults. The groupwas working on the Resurrection Project, an Eastereffort sponsored by Amor Ministries, a San Diego­based Christian service group.

At the construction site, the amateur builders mixedconcrete by hand an'd pounded together walls androofs with two-by-fours and nails.

"We didn't use any electrical tools, but it wasn't ashard physically as I thouglit it would be," said JenJunker. .

During their stay, the youths experienced the livingconditions of a shanty town. They slept in tents, usedouthouses anc! bathed with a bucket and towel.

EI Floridohas no running water and plumbing andthere are no telephones. Some residents have electric­ity, but most can't afford it and so do without it .Wage-earners in the town make between $7 and $14 a

, day.Nathan Romero found his Mexican friends to be

rich in spirit, despite the impoverishment. "I thought Iwould find people 'bitter in poverty," he said. "Butwhat I found was people much happier than I woul~have ever imagined. I realized that in emotion and inlove they are much richer than L" .

One home was being built for Roberto and Ar~adiaMontoya and their church. The new home will mean a

, reunion ,of the family. Although the Montoyas havebeen in EI Florida for two years, the three eldestchildren live in central Mexico with relatives.

Spe.aking in Spanish, Arcadia Montoya said there'snot enough room in her 13-by-I6 foot ho'use Jor thewhole.family. And she has not seen her 12-;13- andI4-year-old children since August last year.

During their stay, many of the teens admired thejoyful attitude of the Mexican people.

"What really stood out was their happiness," saidTony Yozzo, 20. "The children have practicallynothing, but they are so happy."

Resurrection youth minister Kathy McKeever saidshe prganized the Mexico trip as an alternative toother ~pring break activities.

"Spring break time is such a big party time for mostkids," she said. "I thought it would be good to dosomething countercultural to that." Ms. McKeeversaid she hoped that having such "a radical expc:rienceof poverty" would spur the teens to action in the'ir owncommunities.

As they left Mexico, they expressed desire!, to domote. '

"I would do it again," said Miss Junker.Romero also said he wouldn't mind returning. "This

trip made me realize h,ow little we h~ve to do ill orderto change the future fot a family' so radically," he said."I want to do more.'" '

Final Proof"The final prooe' of a sinner is

that he does not know his ownsin." - Martin Luther

By Tom LennonThe media have written and

spok~n at least 1,000,000 wordsabout violence. But when was thelast time you read or heard some­thing about the exact opposite:gentleness?

One Sunday morning at Masswe prayed exp\i'citly for "the vic­tims of violence." But I am sorry toreport that there were no prayerpetitions like this: "That we maybe gentle to one another, we prayto the Lord."

What does this have to do withyou? Probably you aren't the kindof person who would set off thealarm when walking through ametal detector at school. And it'shighly unlikely that you're plan­ning to murder your parents.

But some of my young friendsreport that every so often theycommit verbal violence and cut upsome of their peers with their cruelremarks. One teacher said: "Someteenagers can really be cruel.And this is getting more and morecommon, more and more frequent."

Verbal violence doesn't happenonly at school. It can occur athome too. Some teenagers, in mo­ments of frustration, have beenknown to lash back at their par­ents with cutting remarks that causedeep pain.

Frequently verbal violence isthe breeding ground of physicalviolence. A word can lead to apunch or a shot. So much is con­nected with our inner attitudes.And words spring from our atti­tudes.

Maybe that explains why St.Paul wanted us to "show a gentleattitute toward all."

With this in mind, I offer somesamples of the style or languagethat springs from a gentle spirit.

"Oops! Excuse me." "I like yourjacket. Blue is really your color.""I'm sorry about the way I spoketo you this morning. It was rude ofme." "Can I help?"

But words alone are not enough.What deeds might be done topromote an atmosphere of gentle­ness? One teenage boy had thesesuggestions:

,"When your friend has a prob­lem or is feeling down, listening-really listening to him carefully-shows you're a gentle person.

"I also think that a mark of agentle person is loyalty to friends... and being there for people whentrouble comes ... and looking forways to help people."

This young man said he'd like tosee a poster on the school bulletinboard, and bumper stickers andT-shirts urging others to "Thinkgentle." No specifics. no details.Just plant the idea, and hope thatlittle by little it will alter some atti­tudes and some deeds.

He suggested some other slo­gans too: "Gently does it," and"One gentle deed at a time."

He thought that p~rhaps downthe road we actually could cutdown on violence, create a grow­ing climate of kindness and findourselves living ina kinder, gentlerland.

'. 'r~il' dream's'2o'me tJirough·t~'; - -you."

Apparently these are dreamsabout special. close times withsomeone you love. Yet, a roman­tic relationship does not consistsolely of heavenly moments.There are even times whenromance feels m ,re like a trip"through the fire. of helL"

When this occurs, we need"something magic ... somethingnew" to keep lo"e alive. Per­haps the song is correct insuggesting that music canhelp.

Something that allows us tore-experience the dream of fal­ling in love might help us ma'keit through difficult and uncer­tain periods in a romance. How­ever, it usually takes more thanan image of angels with guitars.WhaUs needed is a recommit­ment to the shared love and awillingness to face up to theproblems that are pulling theromance apart.

In my counseling practice, Imeet with many married cou­ples. They have given me aninsight that I want every teentoknow: When it comes to encounter­ing challenges that hold thepotential to destroy love, thereare many ways to overcomehurt and rebuild a relation­ship.

In our society, most thingsthat appear broken get thrownaway. It is important to realizethat this throw-it-away mental­ity need not apply to ffiarI:iedlove. We can make the choice towork through problems and redis­cover endearment in a relation­ship.

Of course, meeting and dat-.ing a number of people is partof growing up. And, yes, manyteen romances will end.

Still, it is good to ponderwhat married love is. In theCatholic Church, marriage is asacrament. This means thatGod's holiness dwells withinthe shared love of marriage.Still, emotional injury oftendoes occur; the effort needed to

. repair the damage is well worth­while.

With most of the marriedcouples I see, healing is possi­ble. Sure, this requires the wil­lingness of both partners towork on things, but where suchopenness exists counseling canhelp.

If Meatloaf is referring to liv­ing the hope of having a lastinglove, then indeed rock 'n' rolldreams can come true. Justremember that it may take realeffort to achieve the goal.
