Sensing the Needs of the Human HeartAs the Diocesan Jubilee pilgrims prepare to leave

this Sunday for Rome to give visible witness of gratitudeat the very place of Peter, they do so at one of the mostexciting and encouraging moments in the long history ofthe Church. The people representing all the faithful of thediocese at this time of anniversary celebration will begoing to the Rome of John Paul II.

In the spirit of renewed faith evidenced by the saintlyfounder of this diocese, St. Pius X, the priests and" laitywho will visit his shrine in the Basilica of St. Peter will doso in thanksgiving for the many blessings that have beenshowered upon this diocese during its 75 years of existenceas a separate pasture of shepherding.

However, they will also experience the church re­newed and inflamed by the presence of a Holy Fatherwho is truly a vehicle of the Holy Spirit, renewing the faceof the earth. The enthusiasm of faith that he persistentlyradiates seemingly is not only contagious but indeedcharismatic. By means of his Godgiven talents of person­ality, Pope John Paul II is effecting a new spirit and vital­ity within and without the Church.

Examples of this are multitudinous. Pilgrims of faithand curiosity jam the great square of the Bernini colon­nade to receive his blessing. At the same time, the lessthan religious secular press continues to be amazed by hisability to be good copy.

Sensing the needs of the human heart and holdingfirm to the Gospel spirit, Pope John Paul II has to datecaused sceptics even within the church, to take a new lookat what church and papacy are all about.

Yes, there are those critics still caught up in the tur­moil of personal doubts" "and confusions of theologicalspeculation. But their voices are becoming a mere whisperamid the chant of joy that the faithful are exultantly sing­ing in gratitude for a spiritual leader unafraid to shepherdwith kindness and determination.

The talents of the man are many; their use for theglory of God is truly spellbinding.

Much has been said about his visit to Mexico; muchis being said about his present journey to his homelandand much is being speculated about his proposed trip toIreland. All of this is a prismatic reflection of a church onthe move; a church once more reaching out in new waysto all men; a church daring to preach the word of Christeven when it is a difficult word.

Pope John Paul is a remarkable man, a dedicatedmissionary and a devoted priest. Under his direction thechurch has become wonderfully unpredictable. It is thisvery quality that has brought to her in every land a re­newed sense of mission and discipleship.

Because of Pope John Paul II, the expectations of thehuman heart are renewed and the Gospel restored to theheadlines of the world.

Through him, the Church more than ever becomesthe voice that calls all men to listen to the Good News of"salvation.

Standing below a towering 50­foot cross in Warsaw's VictorySquare the pope hurled out thebasic challenge of the CatholicChurch to efforts by the com­munist government to institutean atheistic state.

In trying to view Poland with­out Christ and Christianity, thepope said, "we lay ourselvesopen to a substantial misunder­standing. We no longer under­stand ourselves."

,Pope John Paul said he is theworld's first Slavic pope and de­clared himself an apostle of andto the Slavs.

Speaking at the Mass in Gni­ezno, the pope expressed a con­viction that God has called him,as pope, to play a particularlyimportant role in the unity ofChristians of Eastern and West­ern Europe.

Yesterday the pope celebrateda morning Mass at Jasna Goraand in the evening offered aliturgy and homily for workersof Gorney Slask and ZaglebieDabrowskie. He then traveled toKrakow, where he was arch­bishop and cardinal before hiselection as pope.

This morning the pope willvisit Kalwaria Zebrzydowskaand his home town of Wadow­ice. In the afternoon he will goto the World War II concentra­tion camp of Auschwitz. Afterpraying in the cell whereBlessed Maximilien Kolbe, whogave his life for another prison­er, spent his last days, the pon­tiff will celebrate a Mass for thesouls of camp victims.

Continued from Page Oneprived of the Communist govern­ment of religious radio and tele­vision programming, saw livecoverage of a three-hour papalMass and other ceremonies onthe day of his arrival.

In his public appearances dur­ing the first days of his trip, thepope repeatedly stressed hisown Polish roots and put evenmore emphasis on the Christianroots of the Polish nation.

Those Christian roots are sostrong and deep, he said, that ifthey are neglected or forgotten"we no longer understand our­selves."

Several times the pope ap­peared to be almost overcomewith emotion, but nowhere asmuch as at Jasna Gora, the siteof the shrine to Our Lady ofCzestochowa, patroness of Po­land, where he publicly recon­secrated the church to Mary.

During the homily at the Masson June 4, he spoke of being"here again with all of you" andwith the "episcopate to which Ibelonged for more than 20 yearsas a brother bishop." He thenpaused and gazed down the lineof concelebrating bishops, manyof them long-time close friends.

Several times he returned tothe microphone as if to continue,and each time he backed away.Finally, some voices in thecrowd broke the silence by start­ing to sing "Boze Cos Polske'~

(God Bless Poland) and thewhole outdoor congregationpicked it up.

His composure regained, thepope spontaneously expressedhis thanks with a 20-minute di­gression from his prepared text.He was repeatedly interruptedby applause and singing.

Earlier in his historic visit tohis homeland hundreds of thou­sands had seen the pontiff cele­brate Masses in Warsaw and inthe primatial s~e of Oniezno.

It is "impossible withoutChrist to understand the historyof the Polish nation." he said in

Dear Editor:Within the past two weeks a

couple of very disturbing thingshave happened: the Cape CodTimes editorially attacked thestate legislature for attemptingto end medicaid payments forabortion. They in fact called itdishonest legislation.

Second, Channel 5 News spokeout strongly against legislationdenying medicaid payments forabortion. They were antagonis­tic toward the pro-life or, asthey choose to call it, the anti­abortion forces. They also claimthat to end abortions in theUnited States would be a trag­edy.

So the battle goes on whilegood people sleep. When are wegoing to make an effort to endthis horrible murder of the un­born child?

The defense attorney for theCalifornia doctor on trial for al­leged strangling of a baby thatsurvived a saline abortion said:After all, abortion is nothingmore nor less than legalizedmurder." .

There you have it. Somethingwe in the pro-life movementhave said right along but wewere advised to "cool it." Nowabortionists evidently know it ismurder.

Once again I will attempt tospeak on abortion anywhere,any time, at my own expense.I will run an ad in this paperalso, seeking dates on which tospeak.

I hope some groups of Cath­olics care enough to listen andmay find a spot for me in theirfall and winter schedules.

I have argued before inthis column that a youngperson would be ill-advisedto write for the "Catholic

Such review­ers can be counted on to be (a)incompetent, (b) patronizing andsupercilious and (c) more inter­ested in parading their ownegos than reporting on the book

So you can work a long time. on a book and have it shredded

by a goon who doesn't knowwhat. he's talking about. Voungwriters can find better things todo than play that game.

I now have documentary evi­dence of what goes on in theminds· of such reviewers..A self-"professed "friend" wrote me re­cently that he bad a reviewcopy of my .book, "The Makingof the Popes 1978," and that itwas "outstanding, fascinating,brilliant." However,. he quicklyadded that he would have to findflaws in it about which to becritical, and "reservations insome respects."

Then the explanation of whyhe was doing this: "There is no

One of the regular SundayMasses in our parish is lesscrowded than most. It seemedideal to renew our vows at theend of that Mass. Anyone whodidn't want to stay would notbe forced to sit through ourceremony.

The priest who said the Masswas particularly understandingbecause he'll celebrate his ownsilver jubilee in just a fewweeks. He linked the homily toour anniversary. He also madea point I hadn't even considered.

He thanked us for sharing ouranniversary with the commun­ity. He said it is good for a par-

children to school with blacks.It also found that blacks held apositive view of Catholic atti­tudes on race.

For example, Catholic schoolsystems in places like New Or­leans and Washington were de­segregated well before the Browndecision. .

The Catholic Church has alsohelped integrate public school

'systems. According to a surveyconducted by the U.S. CatholicConference, at least 89 of theU.S. diocese have policies pro­hibiting admission of studentsseeming to avoid public schooldesegregation programs.

During the late 50s and the60s, Catholic interracial coun­cils, eventually operating underthe umbrella of the National

But roses require agreat deal of care to prosper.They are very susceptible to ap­hids, which tend to mass underthe leaves and around the buds.These must be sprayed withsomething like Isotox if theyare to be kept within limits. Inearly spring I spray at leastevery 10 days.

Then there are black spot and

other way to commend yourwork to a readership (which in­cludes the U.S. Catholic estab­lishment) which is in good partsuspicious of you or downrighthostile."

I always thought that if askedto review a friend's book youeither praise it or refuse the re­view. But leave that aside asshapty Irish loyalty. Everybook has flaws, but to arguethat one must find them in orderto 'ingratiate oneself with read­ers who will otherwise be hostileto the author is pathetically un­professional.

First, it won't work, becausethe hostile readers will fixateon the flaws (and won't readthe book anyway). Secondly, thereviewer's job is to report on

ish to be a part of the celebrationof a good marriage, that thesharing offers encouragement tothe whole community.

My husband and I both weremore nervous this time around.When we married 25 years agowe were confident our marriagewas going to be like the fairytales ... happily ever after. Weknew other people had prob­lems . . . but we wouldn't.

I think that if I had knownthe difficulties ahead I wouldn'thave had the courage to getmarried; but facing those diffi­culties has given me the conti­denc.e .tJi~ w~ will be able tohancW... ,ext 25 years. But

Catholic Conference for Inter­racial Justice, provided signifi­cant leadership for the civilrights movement.-

Catholics were amply repre­sented at the March on Selmaand helped organize the 1963march on Washington. Catholicshave been very visible in thecivil rights effort - SargentShriver, Mathew Ahmann, HolyCross Father Theodore Hes­burgh, Msgr. George Higgins,John McDermott, Topl Gibbons,Msgr. Geno Baroni and otherscome quickly to mind.

More recently, the U.S. bish­ops, acting on a recommenda­tion from the Call to Actionconference which capped theirbicentennial program, _have be­gun work on affirmative action

I'm not sure what will happento "The Making of the Popes."I have more reservations aboutits success than does the pub­lisher, despite its being selec­ted by the Book-of-the-MonthClub and excerpted in Playboy(the latter decision over whichI had no control, by the way,otherwise it would not have beenmade). But at least it won't bedone in by the goons who re­view for "America" and The Na­tional Catholic Reporter.

This same "friend" reviewingthe book for another publica­tion notes t~at I am the mosthated priest in America amongfellow priests. It apparentlydoes not occur to him that my

it is sobering to know that"worse, poorer, and sickness"can be very rough times and wehave no reason to expect that"happily ever after'" will startnow.

When we were married anexhortation was read at everywedding. I hadn't heard it in along time and we asked the lec­tor to re-read it for us. When Iheard that exhortation 'yearsago it made sense, but it wasonly a theory. Today it is areality. "Sacrifice is usually dif­ficult and irksome. Only lovecan make it easy, and perfectlove can make it a joy."

There have been heartaches

guidelines to increase minorityhiring in the· U.S. Catholic Con­ference, the bishops' civil actionarm. The guidelines will alsoserve as models - though notbinding - for diocesan hiringpolicies.

It's also worth noting that oneof the finest civil rights researchcenters in the country can befound at the Catholic Univer­sity Law School - the Centerfor National Policy Review. .

The center has just publisheda study on school desegregationthat takes exception to otherstudies highlighting desegrega­tion's negative impacts andarguing that it can work .if itis carried out properly.

With reasonable watering

Market'popularity rating with the clergyis totally irrelevant to the bookand to the readers of the secu­lar journal for which he is writ­ing.

Here is the core of the prob­lem: In the miasmic world ofthe Catholic intelligentsia, re­viewers and book review editorssee their mission as mandatingopinions on the personality ofthe writer and a review of thatpersonality '(real or iQk-blot­created). In such a mushy, softenvironment, ideas don't matter, .persons do.

lt's all quite sick and no youngwriter should expose himself orherself to such sickness. I'm get­ting out of it and my only re­gret is that I did not do it longago.

. . . but much joy has been de­rived from overcoming them.And if we were able eventuallyto derive joy from conquereddefeats, and then add to that all

. the deep joys that have comeon their own, why not lookahead with optimism? .

I've always believed that aceremony is important for thebeginning of a marriage. NowI'm absolutely convinced . . .for the ceremony was evenmore important at 25 years.Gathering together all our fam­ily and friends and publicly pro­claiming that this time we knowwhat we're talking about . . .and we still believe in marriage,was good for all of us!

Euler of the National Instituteof Education. They argue that"desegregation is a process, asis education itself."

The study cited factors whichcan make desegregation success­ful:

- Social classes as well asraces must be mixed.

- ilntegrated neighborhoodsshould be exempt from busingrequirements.

- Desegregation works wellwhen begun in early grades,poorest when begun in gradesfour through eight and bestwhen begun in all grades atonce.

- Good counselling and inte­grated staff and faculty are nec­esary for successful desegrega­tion.

during the hot weather, withmulch, and with regular spray­ing, roses can be an elegant andbeautiful addition to the garden.Poorly cared for, there is nomore horrible specimen!

I spray very little because ofthe dangers of chemical sprays.But I do spray my roses since Ifeel that if they are to be grownfor their beauty, they must begrown properly.

. ,the Mass means to me? It is theobjective reenactment of Hislove for me every day. The M'lSStells me again He died for me I

and rose for me, that He for­gives me and loves me. At Mass1 grow daily in a personal rela­tionship with Jesus, coming toknow him as God and brother.

At a Mass at our Mondaynight prayer meeting, Fatherkept breaking the bread as wesaid "Lamb of God, have mercyon me." It struck me to theheart. His body broken, intolittle pieces for me, for us. Whatwondrous love is this!

And then the next day 1missed Mass. 1 was seeingpeople all day, and one appoint­ment stayed so late 1 missed the·last Mass of the day. I've missedyour Mass, 1 told Him. No, hesaid, no, you are at Mass here inyour office listening to thesesuffering people; and 1 saw'again in my mind the breadfrom the night before beingbroken and the broken peoplebefore me who were also Hisbroken body, and 1 saw Jesus'love in both places and truly 1was at Mass.

In closing, I want to tell youthat many of you here havebeen a source of strength andinspiration to me. You have wel­comed me here and prayed forme and shown me lives of faithand love in the midst of manytrials you have and burdens youcarry.

You, we, are His lights. You,we, are \h.e sign of His life withus yet. We are His body as wecome together to make a com­munity of love, to celebrate Hislove.

CAROL DINKLAGE

The second major way 1 cele­brate God's love is in the dailyMass. 1 was drawn into the Cath­olic Church by the Mass and 1continue to be drawn into thevery heart of the Father by theMass.

It WjlS difficult for me person­aUy to become Ii Catholic. Every­thing familiar to me was wrench­ed away and for a time my onlystrength was Jesus.

What are some of the things

The initials of children on alist were placed on the altar forone month and our priests pray­ed for them at the Masses. Of alist of 24 children, more thanhalf have already been changed.1 know a family with so manyserious problems, the situationlooked hopeless. Prayer began.The family returned to Jesusand to the church and a net­work of service, both materialand spiritual, came around them.What seemed impossible is be­coming a reality: a totally re­newed family.

Louis Evely says, "Each of ushas the same incredible vocationMary had to give life to God inthe world." An example of howwe can share in the vocation ofMary: in our coffee room, aftera trying day, people asked if 1got depressed. 1 told them how

. people are praying. One personlingered.

"I want to share in this work,"she said. Every day she goes toMass and lights a candle to Maryfor one of my children. She says,"Mary has never refused meanything, but so far 1 have onlyasked for my family; now 1 willpray for the family you will giveme."

Osterville Convert Shares ExperiencesBy Carol R. Dinklage

Following are excerpts froma Day of Devotion witness talkat Our Lady of the Assumptionparish, Osterville. The author, apsychologist in the Barnstablepublic school system, is a con­vert from Judaism and activein the charismatic renewal. Shesays her talk represented "asmall part of my deep love fOf:my new church."

I became a Christian six andone-half years ago from Judaism,after a long period of search­ing; and I became a Catholic a

,year ago, received into thischurch and parish family at abeautiful and joyous Mass.

Today I want to celebratewith you God's love for us andparticularly the daily celebrationof His love for us in our lives.

By profession I am a childpsychologist. I went into psy­chology to find out why child­ren suffer and what could bedone about it. (My sister and Iwere abused physically and emo­tionally and my sister sufferspermanent brain damage fromit.) National statistics show therise of child abuse; violent chil­dren w.ho have been treated vio­lently; mental illness rising, es­pecially serious kinds like de­pression, psychosis, suicide,even among young children.

In doing therapy with a five­year-old boy pronounced hope­lessly ill, I found love was theanswer and one could love achild back into life. However, Iexperienced in psychologicalwork in general much of a sense

, of failure and I had no one toshare the burdens with. To carefor people deeply without Jesusin one's life is to live in hell.

But Jesus has come into mylife, and my work with the chil­dren and their families, whichseemed at times a curse, hasbecome a blessing. Now 1 feelmy work is a privilege because1 am plugged into His love whichhas no limits and which intendsperfect healing for all His chil\.dren.

One major way J: celebrateGod's love in my life is in andthrough my work. 1 don't meanto romanticize it. 1 have somevery down days and some daysthe only good thing 1 run intoall day is Jesus and the onlygood thing 1 hear is the Mass.

But there is prayer. 1 havebrothers and sisters who prayfor me and for these children.If ever you've been outside therealm of prayer, as 1 was for43 years, you know what a prec­ious, awesome thing it is, thatwe can pray for one anotherand know our God will hear us.

He always answers, thoughnot in the way we expect; andthough we like answers thatbring change and healing, justas wonderful is the strength Hegives us to bear what cannotbe changed or healed.

1 belong to a charismaticprayer group in this parish andthe people in it pray for me andmy children. 1 have dear sistersat daily Mass to whom 1 cansay: would you pray for thissituation today or for this fam­ily.

NCCB PresidentWill Sell House

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)Archbishop John Quinn of SanFrancisco plans to sell his epis­copal residence to help balancethe archdiocesan budget.

He said the projected salewould provide cash and reduceoperating expenses, particular­ly high utility bills.

Archbishop Quinn, presidentof the National Conference ofCatholic Bishops, plans to moveto a newly vacant convent atSt. Thomas the Apostle Parishin San Francisco.

The expected sale of the resi­dence and other budget cuts re­duced the projected archdioce­san deficit - for 1979-1980 fromabout $1.4 million to about$300,000. The budget is about$3 million.

Archbishop Quinn also im­posed higher parish assessmentsand called for consolidation inchancery offices. Major. budgetcuts were in the areas of educa­tion, communication and admin­istration.

The archdiocese will continueits services to inner-city schoolsand parishes, the poor and eth­nic programs, spokesman said.

The episcopal residence wasgiven to the archdiocese in 1948.It has three stories, a large ban­quet hall and large setvants'quarters and overlooks the Gold­en Gate Bridge.

"It's Ii very large house, toolarge, he said. "There are partsof it that aren't used at all. Itwould be better for me to livein a less elaborate setting."

This is significant not only be­cause such a service gives adeacon program the support ofthe bis~op but also because itis in this mutual interdepend­ence and support of deacon andbishop that the church is seenin its total mature ministerialnature.

A restored diaconate programwhere deacons are seen to bepart of the total Catholic com­munity will allow freedom andprofessionalism in areas of di­aconal ministry not presentlyexisting in the church. Such aprogram will show that the dea­con is truly a part of thechurch community, becoming acatalyst for new ministries. Be­cause of this the deacon is fos­tering a genuine commitment toservic~ within the totality of thelocal church.

For some this may seem puretheory and an ideal only to befound in a utopian church re­moved from the harsh realitiesof daily living. This viewpointis indeed shortsighted. The per­manent deacon. will witness inareas where the so-called cleri­cal church cannot function inthe present dispensation.

He will bring Christ and Hismessage into the mills, stores,shops, offices, garages andother areas where men andwomen live their existence. Hewill be the living church in thenooks and crannies of societywhere the church presently isnot a visible force.

For many, the deacon will bethe first contact with the totalchurch. When .one considersthat more than 90 million Am­ericans profess no faith what­sover, the urgency of the dea­con's evangelical mission in thisland is more than evident.

Where the deacon ministers,there will be the church; therewill be the bishop shepherdingthe people of God; there will bethe priestly witness of the bap­tized; there will be all of usbringing the healing of the Lordto all men and women who hurt,search and hunger.

The ministry of service thatthe permanent deacon will offerthis world is the ministry of thewhole church, in place and timebut affecting eternity.

By Father John F. MoorePermanent Diaeonate Director

The history of the church islike a prism glittering in thesunlight: always colorful, al­ways changing, always bringinga new rainbow into our lives.In this way we should view therenewed diaconate. Why at thistime, the Spirit has broughtonce again this aspect of HolyOrders into our lives is part ofthe mystery as well as of thehistory of the church. Yet specu­lation can be offered that mighthelp all of us to understandsome of the circumstanceswhich have fostered the devel­opment and growth of the Per­manent Diaconate.

First and foremost must bethe great stress that the churchis placing on the reality of "min­istry." Ministry of this natureis service and this diaconal. Itreflects the concepts of sacri­fice, understanding, witnessingand giving. Now surely onemight say this could be done ifthe church founded a new so­called religious order to do thiswork.

Yet in the providence of thepresent dispensation, this has notbeen the case, perhaps becausethe ministry that is to be offer­ed by deacons is so closely al­lied to the work of the bishop,the head of the local church.

Deacons historically have al­ways had a very special rela­tionship to their Ordinary. Thisis made visible when the bishoppresides from his special placein the cathedral church. He pre­sides now with a deacon at hisside.

The diaconal ministry thus ismanifested to the entire church,not only to the laity but evento the bishop. '

Even in the :rite of ordinationthis special relationship of dea­con and bishop should be noted.When a bishop or priest is or­dained, the participating bishopsor priests are called upon to im­pose hands on the head of the­ordinancl. In the rite of ordina­tion to diaconate, only the or­daining bishop imposes hands onthe deacon. For sign value, thisis most important, clearly indi­cating that -the deacon has aministry to everyone in the localchurch via the bishop.

Synod for DutchUnprecedented

VATICAN CITY (NC) - PopeJohn Paul II has called an un­precedented special synod of theDutch bishops to try to resolvethe liberal-conservative con­flicts in the Dutch church, ac­cording to Vatican Radio.

The synod is expected to beheld in Rome with the pope inattendance early in 1980.

,In recent months Pope JohnPaul has met individually witheach of the Dutch bishops.

A letter from the pope to thepresident of the Dutch Bishops'Conference said that the pontiffhad decided to convene a"special synod," one of threekinds of synods he is empower­ed to hold under norms issued byPope Paul VI.

The types of synods are gen­eral, held every three years ona specific theme and attendedby delegates from around theworld; extraordinary, called toaddress some special issue andattended by presidents of bish­ops' conferences from aroundthe world; and special, called toconfront an important problemaffecting a particular country orgroup of countries, and attend­ed by the bishops of the coun­try or countries involved.

The calling of ·the special sy­nod followed several months ofspeculation that the pope wouldintervene personally to try toresolve a variety of theological,pastoral and disciplinary issuesthat have caused growing divis­ion among the bishops, priestsand laity in the Netherlands.

Among these issues are sem­inary training, lay ministries andinterpretations of church teach­ing in some areas of doctrineand morality.

The special synod will be thefirst since Pope 'Paul establishedthe world Synod of Bishops in1965.

Q. I have accepted most ofthe changes in the CatholicChurch, and feel they were forthe betterment of all concerned.

However, something has re­cently occurred in our churchwhich is beyond comprehension.A CathoDc young lady and aCatholic man, Dving together for .at least the last eight months,finally decided to marry. Bannswere published in the churchbulletin, and they were marriedin a Catholic church on Satur­day evening with all thechurch's matrimonial services.They lived together up to thetime of the services. .

Is living together before mar­riage now acceptable? Please ex­plain if this is a customary pro­cedure. (Ohio)

A. Living together beforemarriage is definitely not accep­table to the Catholic Church. Itis a hurtful, sinful situation, re­gardless of how the couple in­volved may view it at the mo­ment.

On the other hand, a man andwoman have a right to marry,and Catholics have a right to aCatholic marriage ceremony. rbelieve, however, that the sol­emnity and public character ofthat marriage rite must be deter­mined by balancing the rightsof the rest of the Catholiccommunitiy - the right not tohave their marriage ceremonysubjected to ridicule and reducedto meaningless gesture; the rightnot to have themselves and theirchildren exposed to a scanda­lous flaunting of' a shamefulsituation; and so on.

After some sad experiences asa pastor, I still do~t think Iwould ~llow a public, solemnmariage ceremony for a coupleliving together at the time of themarriage.

I, and maybe your fellow-'. readers, would appreciate any

insights and practical sugesstionswe might receive for handlingthis kind of situation.

Q. If a person has to keepthe Ten Commandments to getto heaven:, why did Jesus Christdie on the cross and shed hisblood for us?

Romans (3:24) says we are"justified freely by his gracethrough the redemption that is inChrist Jesus.I' Isn't it by theblood of the Lord and not theobservance of the law, that weare forgiven our sins and haveeternal life? (Louisiana)

A. You're right. We do notkeep the law of God and JesusChrist in order to "buy" God'slove and our sharing in his life.These are free, totally unmeritedgifts.

Jesus does tell us, however,what vi~ must do because weare his disciples, part of hisfamily. Several times we cor­rected llis followers when theytried to act, or even prompt

'What service or ministry is God calling me' to?'

Catholic laymen has resulted inburgeoning programs for thepreparation and coordination oflay ministers.

Organists now see themselvesas ministers of music, ushers seethemselves as ministers of hos­pitality, members of parishcouncils and parish schoolboards see their work as a formof ministry.

In one sense this new phen­amenon has caused a crisis insemantics. The word "minister"~sed to mean simply a Protest­ant clergyman in our Catholicvocabulary. Now it has not onlybeen adopted by Catholics, it hasbeen consumed, exhausted andall but impoverished.

Discovering AVocationBy Steve Landregan

In speaking of a vocation inthe traditional Christian sense,the ver.b "to choose" seems in­appropriate. If God does the call­ing (vocation comes from theLatin "vocare" to call), then theone called does not choose, butis choser.. It would be more ac­curate to speak in terins of dis­cerning the call. Let's rewordthe question to ask "How canI know that I am ready to dis­cern what God has called me tobe?"

God's first call is to the Chris­tian life. Our response to thisprimary call is baptism andfaith. The call to service or min­istry is universal to all Chris­tians, thus the question is not"Am I called by God to serve?"This awareness is surfacingamong Catholics today in a newand exciting way. A new senseof being called on the part of

Perhaps the most famouscase is Simon renamed Peterclear to you, you are 'Rock,'and on this rock I will build mychurch." (Matthew 16,18).

Moreover, the church's pat­tern of prayer or worship hasalways reflected its manner ofbelief or faith and vice versa.

Thus names, words and lang­age are important. We mightrecall that St. John Chrysostomcalled God "Sister, Mother,"while St. Anselm prayed to Jesusas Mother.

But when aperson turns away from sinfulbehavior and clears away con­cern over trivialities, the visionof God bursts upon the inwardeye because the soul has be­c.ome a mirror that reflects God.

Gregory is poetic but practicalabout this. The likeness of Godis uncovered by converting one'swhole way of life. As one be­comes generous, one sees theoverwhelming goodness andgenerosity of God. As one hasless to hide, one becomes awareof the presence of God. As onereduces one's life to coherenceand simplicity, one comes to

One day Jesus wanted somequiet time. So he asked· hisfriends if they would like towalk with him along the Jor­dan River. The flowing water,the warm sun and the gentlebreeze would refresh them.

They headed north along theJordan River in the direction ofthe Roman town, Caesarea Phil­ippi.

As they walked, Jesus and hisfriends talked about what hadhappened during the past few

distinguished scholars. Never­theless, the feminist movementwith its related issue, the useof sexist words or style in pub­lications, had just begun in thosedays. Consequently, translatorsfollowed the then current tradi­tion and employed terms like"man," "mankind," "men,""brothers" in the familiar gen­eric sense.

Those concerned about thismatter likewise groan when theylook at costly volumes used atthe altar. Changing or updatingthe translation in these books toeliminate sexist terminologymeans removal of expensiverituals purchased only a shorttime ago.

Are the effort and expensejustified?

There seems no questionabout that. Words and namesare important: They convey thereality behind them.

For example, the term lastrites or extreme unction andanointing of the sick denote theidentical reality, but do they notsuggest completely distinct ap­proaches to the same sacred ex­perience?

Most of us have heard thiskind of thing before and mayhave found it discouraging,wondering how we were sup­posed to be able to see God.Gregory has an answer: We seeGod in the mirror of our souls.This is the familiar catechismanswer: We are made in theimage and likeness of God andthat likeness is chiefly in oursouls. But Gregory of Nyssasearches far beyond this glibanswer.

Soon after the Second VaticanCouncil, those concerned aboutCatholic architecture and wor­ship would often visit new orrenovated churches and groanin disappointment.

They discovered many build­ings which had been rather per­manently built or remodeled,but which were designed ac­cording to pre-Vatican concepts.A marble altar, for example,solidly fixed to the rear wall ofthe sanctuary or a ceiebrant'schair also fastened firmly at theside fulfilled then current no­tions of liturgy.

Rearrangement of. such sanc­tuaries often would have beenimpossible, excessively expen­sive or pastorally disastrous.Had such construction or reno­vation been delayed but a fewyears, the projects would havetaken a totally different direc­tion.

Most Western Christians haveseldom heard of St. Gregory ofNyssa, yet he has much to offerus. He lived in the Middle Eastin the fourth century, at a timewhen politics and church affairswere entangled and sometimesmarked by a physical violenceas well as trickery.

Of noble birth and well edu­cated, Gregory began a careerin church ministry, changed hismind and embarked on a secularcareer and married, thenchanged his mind again andwent in search of a life of deepseclusion and contemplation. Hewas snatched away from his se­clusion to be made a bishop, towhich he reluctantly agreed.

He was by nature a thinker,not an administrator. He had acheckered career as a bishopand many judged him a failure.However, subsequent genera-

. tions have seen him as a greattheologian and catechist. He wasa strong voice at the Council ofConstantinople and helped togive its present shape to thecreed we recite at Sunday Mass.But it was when he taught andwrote about the ways of Chris­tian prayer that he seems tohave felt at home.

so in the name of the Christiancommunity are called to min­ister? One scholar calls for min­istry to be defined as a combina­tion of service and leadership.The argument over the relation­ship of ministry to office, topower, to authority and so forthwill undoubtedly continue forsome time, .but the simple real­ity that Catholics have a newawareness of being called tobear witness to their baptism isindisputable.

So we return to the originalquestion. How can I know thatI am ready to discern what Godhas called me to?

The first step in discernmentof one's call must be involve­ment in the life of the Christiancommunity. For most this wouldmean the parish, but it could al­so be a campus Catholic com­munity, prayer group or a move­ment such as the Cursillo orMarriage Encounter.

As one becomes involved, par­ticular gifts emerge and are rec­ognized and accepted by thecommunity.

It is the community that testsany individual's gifts and dis­cerned call. For those who dis­cern a call to the religious lifeor the ordained ministry, thereligious community, seminaryor formation program they aredrawn to will test their call, af­firm or disaffirm their discern­ment.

Essential to discernment, forthe individual and the com­munity, is prayer. Disaffirmationof an individual's discerned callis not a rejection, but a redirec­tion, a helping hand in disting­uishing between God's will andour own.

I am ready to discern whatGod has called me to be whenI have committed myself to bearwitness to my baptism, and toseek the support of the churchcommunity in recognizing anddeveloping those particular giftsGod has given to me for the pur­pose of building up his body.Then I am able to say to theFather with Jesus, "Thy will,not mine."

everyone in Israel longed for.Most people believed God wouldsend a great hero to free themfrom the Roman soldiers. Theycalled this hero, "Messiah."

Jesus would not say whetherhe was the Messiah or not. Heseemed more interested in free­ing people from sickness, ignor­ance and sin than from the Ro­man soldiers. He did not wanthis friends calling him Messiahbecause people would immedi­ately think of him as the leaderof a revolution against Rome.

But he did not deny that Godhad sent him as Messiah to freepeople from something morepowerful than the Roman army.He left even his closest friendswondering who he was.

And he continues to askpeople the same question heasked that beautiful, day alongthe Jordan River: "And you, whodo you say I am?"

Continued from ,Page Twelveothers call you one of the prop­hets."

John the Baptizer was Jesus'cousin. He had been put to deathby King Herod not many monthsearlier. People had thoughtJohn was the long awaited Mes­siah - the one God would sendto free them from the Romanrulers. Many people seemed tothink Jesus was John come backto life.

Elijah had lived centuriesearlier. He was a Jewish prop­het, very close to God. When hedied, peop!e said God took himright up to heaven. Some peopleseemed to think Jesus was Eli­jah come back as Messiah tofree God's people.

Almost everyone seemed tothink Jesus was a great prophet.They thought he was like Isa­iah, Jeremiah or Ezekiel, whotold the people about God'sways.

Jesus listened. Then he lookeddirectly at them and asked, "Andyou, who do you say I am?"

For a moment they were allsilent. They had long wonderedwho Jesus really was. They hadtheir opinions, but hesitated toshare them with Jesus.

Then Peter spoke up. "Youare the Messiah!" he said confi­dently.

Jesus smiled. 'He did not admitor deny he was the Messiah buthe gave his friends strict' ordersnot to tell people he was theMessiah.

know through the mirror of one'sown consciousness the grandeurholiness and utter simplicity ofGod.

Gregory envisages a startingpoint for everyone. Because heis a lover of the Bible, one ofhis best ways of explaining thisstarting point is in the story ofMoses and the burning bush. Thelife of Moses has been reducedto great simplicity before thisincident happens. As Gregory'understands it, Moses i.s over­whelmed by a light so brightthat .it startles him even at highnoon under a burning desertsun. The starting point is likea bright light which makes thevision of God clear so thateverything falls into place.

After this, Gregory comparesthe way of prayer and unionwith God to the long trekthrough the wilderness, led bythe pillar of cloud, that is theHoly Spirit. This is a differentkind of presence.

It leads to something differ-. ent again - to the encounterin darkness at the top of MountSinai. For Gregory, God is al­ways seen through the mirrorof the soul, but at the beginningthat is a seeing in great lightwhile at the end it is a seeingin darkness because the soulhas become more capable of re­flecting the inscrutable simpli­city and, holiness of God.One thing is clear: For Gregory,to pray is to convert one's wholelife.

A SANTISSIMA TRINADE

Quem podera narrar 0 misteriode Deus? Seria mais facil, como diziaa crianya a S. Agostinho, meter 0 marnuma pocinha cavada na areia da praiaque compreender 0 misterio profundoda Santlssima Trindade.

Mas Deus quis ser compreenslvelpara n6s, quis ser urn Deus para n6s econnosco. A Sua hist6ria com os homenstoda a natureza narra as Suas mara­vilhas. a homem, se abrir os olhos,pode descobrir na Cria9ao e na histo­ria as acvoes reveladoras do nossoDeus. ,

E certo que a "Deus ninguem ja­mais a viu." Contudo, Ele veio aten6s, est~ no meio de n6s: podemos en­contrar-nos com Ele.

be multiplas maneiras Se aproxi­mou Deus dos homens, patenteando-se,de algum modo, a profundidade do Seumisterio. A todo 0 homem foi dado en­contrar-se com Deus atraves do "grandelivro da natureza, porquanto Deus veiopela primeira vez ao mundo, no Seuacto criador. Tudo e obra das Suasmaos, dizem os salmos. Todavia, 0 ca­minho para 0 encontro com 0 nossoDeus atraves das coisas materiais eescuro, diflcil e muito incompleto.Dal 0 deslgnio divino de dialogar comos homens de viva voz. a dialogo foimultiforme, como 0 testemunha ~ Cartaaos Hebreus. Ainda que 0 Senhor vi­esse pessoalmente falar com os homenso Seu contacto era muito restrito, cir­cunscrevendo-se a umas pessoas privi­legiadas.

Como Deus nao faz acep~ao depessoas, mas e Pai para justos e in­justos, chegada a plenitude dos tem­pos enviou-nos 0 Seu Filho, para quenos revelasse uma' sabedoria divina emisteriosa que nos tinha predestinadoantes de todos os seculos.

Cristo foi investido pelo Paida missao de manifestar ao mundo averdade, evangelizar os pobres e cu­rar os contritos de corayao. Realiza­da a obra da nossa redenyao, voltoupara 0 Pai, donde tinha vindo. Naonos querendo deixar orfaos, enviou­nos 0 Esplrito Santo, 0 Esplrito Con­solodor. Do Pai e do Filho recebeu 0

Esp!rito Santo a missao de nos recor­dar todas as coisas. Pel a ac~ao cria­dora e historico-salvlfica de Deusdescobrimos 0 modo como Deus Se apro­ximou de nos.

a Pai veio ate nos no Seu actocriador por meio do Seu Verbo. Elevern a nos. Contudo, nao pode ser en­viado.

a Filho foi gerado e enviadopelo Pai,

a Esplrito Santo, procedente doPai e do Filho, e enviado pelo Paiepelo Filho.

Esta linguagem aparece-nos deve­ras misteriosa. Se, porem, partimos dofacto de as missoes do Filho e do Es­plrito Santo serem dirigidas a nos,homens; se cremos que a "economia" danossa salvayao assenta sobre elas; se

"finalmente, aceitamos que a nossa sal­vayao se efectua, na actualiza~ao doviremos a ele e al faremos a nossamorada.

Pontiff SupportsBolivian Seaway

yATICAN CITY (NC)Pope John Paul II told the newBolivian ambassador to the HolySee that the Vatican "followswith cordial interest" Bolivia'seffort to obtain a coastline onthe Pacific Ocean through peace­ful negotiations with neighbor­ing countries.

The pope spoke when JuanJose Vidaurre Pinto presentedhis credentials as the new Bo­livian ambassador.

Landlocked 'Bolivia losts itscoastline in the late 19th-centuryWar of the Pacific with Chile.It is now trying to regain coast­al territory in negotiations withChile and Peru. Peru was Bo­livia's ally and also lost terri­tory to Chile.

"I know well," the pope said­in his Spanish address, "that oneof the problems most seriouslyaffecting the government andpeople of Bolivia is the aspira­tion to have an-outlet on thesea again, a problem of suchimportance concernillg thecountry's development and theprospect of better living condi­tions for its inhabitants."

him too close or we might gettoo beholden to him. We don'twant to have to do the thingswe would have to do if we areto take hi", as the God he in­sists on being.

If we can just keep him man­ageable, available for symbolicoccasions like baptism and wed­dings and funerals, then we willbe all right. But if we are reallyto accept him as the God he is,we will have to accept his radi­cal demands upon our lives.

The hard lesson is that Godis not going to be our God onour terms. We cannot make theexcuse that we do not knowwhat he wants. He is making­himself known to us at all times. . . in the mystery of his crea­tion, in the lives of good people,in the movements to make lifemore human, and supremely inour Lord Jesus Christ, whosebeautiful life challenges us all.

focus onyouth ...

By Cecilia Bela~ger

Many young people are grad­uating from high school or col­lege. Some are indecisive, thequestion on their lips, "Whatwill I do? What can I do? What ifI can't find something?"

I received a call from onesuch confused youth who said,"It's an awful feeling not know­ing which w,ay to go or whatto do."

It seems to me that one of ourbasic problems is that we havelost a sense of direction. Thereare either too many road signsor none at all. .

Youth are confused by themany life styles open to them.As one college youth said, "Thereis something to be said for free­dom and experimentation, butthere is also something to besaid for continuity which pro­vides the base for meaning andvalue in life."

"I don't feel really close toanyone, not even my family,"said one youth. There is a greatsense of being "strangers in astrange world." The things thatonce gave security are gone.

"I drink because I don't seea future for myself," moanedone youth. "The world, has gonecrazy and we are led by peoplewho don't know what they'redoing."

Sometimes we make prisonersof youth, building worlds forthem they do not want. We takeaway the basic rights of youthwhen we try to do it all forthem. How can they learn totrust themselves? ,

Then there are those whoimprison themselves, with nohelp from anyone. They lose di­rection also.

As someone has remarked, thetrouble with us is that· "Godwants to give us something butwe can't take it because ourhands are full."

Our hands are indeed full. Weleave very little place for Godin our world. This is a nation ofpeople who eat, drink and wastewithout regard for seed time orharvest. It is a nation that cankeep warm or cool by creatingits own climates. We can scarce­ly be expected to feel the kindof dependency upon God whichwas the basi; for worship intimes past.

We are mortal, we know, butwe deny it by exalting ourpower. We really don't knowhow to fit our God into thisscientific universe or into thelives we lead. We say we do,we convince ourselves that wedo, but do. we really?

A writer once remarked thatif we think of life as a large de­partment store, God would bethought of as the clerk of a smallreligious artic1es department inthe back of the sixth floor,rather than the owner of all thestores there are.

God is fine, in other words,as long as he remains on theedge of our lives. We don't want

THE ANCHOR­Thurs., June 7,

newsThus sinister kings, evil coun­

cillors and fierce desert chief­tains made up out of whole clothconcoct nefarious intrigues thathave nothing to do with thetheme of either story - God'schastisement of pride in the oneinstance and of licentiousness inthe other.

"Moses," though somewhatabove the abysmal level of"Greatest Heroes," is, viewedfrom the religious perspective,downright pernicious of rela­tively innocuous, flounderingspectacularly on the God ques­tion.

As long as the Chosen Peopleare in Egypt, divine interventionis presented in literal fashion.Once in the desert, however, ra­tionalism takes over. The voiceof God is Moses' own. Mosesstrikes no rock for water butknows of a secret oasis, just ashe knows that quail can becaught in the evening and man­na found on the ground in themorning. The parting of the RedSea seems to be due to peculiarwind conditions.

The most outrageous revisionof Scripture, occurs when Mosestakes the stone tablets UP themountain, in case God happenedto forget to bring something towrite on. The clear implicationis that Moses himself composedthe Commandments.

One going to Scripture fordramatic material should, to beaceptable to believers, be in­formed with sincere religiousseptiment as well as talent.

Creative people combiningsuch qualities are in short sup­ply, so it is not surprising thathardly a glint of either is ob­servable in these productions.

The conclusion is that insteadof parents relaxing when itcomes to religious drama on tele­vision, they should be all themore wary.

On TelevisionParents should not be un­

critically grateful when tele­vision and movies turn their at­tention to the Bible, because in­ferior or distorted treatment ofreligious themes can do youngviewers more harm than good.

Two current television seriesthat provoke these thoughts are"Greatest Heroes of the Bible,"curently airing on NBC Tuesdayevenings from 8-9 p.m., and",Moses - The Lawgiver," a six­part series being rebroadcast onSunday evenings on CBS from10-11 p.m., beginning June 17.

They differ in level of sophisti­cation and artistic quality, butboth call for the strongest art­istic and religious reservations.

The "Sodom and Gomorrah"and "The Tower of Babel" seg­ments of ·"Greatest Heroes" aremarked by mediocre acting,atrocious dialogue and crude ofmelodrama. The material in bothepisodes is by the most conser­vative estimate 90 percent non­scriptural.
