Her views on population con­trol are not always popular. Oneresponse she frequently. hearsfrom people in the developedworld about population growthin poor countries is, she para­phrased, "If they keep on repro­ducing, why give them morefood."

That attitude, she said, is "al­most obscene," because wher­ever people have clean waterand food, their children live and"the population levels off."

Whenever she hears patron­izing talks about the developingworld, she said, "I feel asthough I was in a hot bath or avomitorium of ancient Rome,hearing people talk about 'thoseawkward .chaps, the Visigoths,'

"You know who won? TheVisigoths,"

CHICAGO (NC) - CardinalJohn Cody of Chicago called fora strengthening of the ideal offreedom in the communicationsmedia in a message markingWorld Communications Day.

That freedom which took rootin America 200 years ago mightnever have flourished had Amer­icans not made good use of "thepower and potential of commu­nicatiqns," the cardinal said.

But he warned of the 'dangerof a developing passivity in therecipient - the kind of passiveresponse that, had it existed 200years ago, might never led to adeclaration of freedom and basicrights."

He pointed to the awesomepower of television especially,and urged "that the develop­ment in human values keep pacewith technical professionalknow-how."

The young, in particular, arevulnerable to becoming depen­dent upon television, CardinalCody warned. He cited figuresto underline the point.

"By age 18, a child is expectedto have logged 20,000 hours oftelevision watching - almostdouble what he would havespent in a classroom," the cardi­nal noted.

That child will "have seen aquarter million commercials andmemorized a few thousand ofthem. Between the ages of fiveand 15, a child would have seen13,400 human beings destroyedon TV shows, not to mentionlesser mayhem and violence,"according to a survey, CardinalCody said.

Better Than DaddyTelevision is the single great­

est influence on the child today,he continued. "In fact, 44 per­cent of small children in one re­rearch project, when asked,'Which do you like better, TVor Daddy?' quickly chose tele­vision."

Communicators must recog­nize the impact they have onthe community, the cardinalsuggested. Quoting the Vatican'sPastoral 'Instruction on theMedia, Public Opinion and Hu-

Meaning of Evangelism"There is nothing so conta­

gious as holiness, nothing morepervasive than Prayer. This isprecisely What the traditionalChurch means by evangelismand what distinguishes it fromrecruitment."-Martin Thornton,"Pastoral Theology: a Reorien­tation," 1956.

He caned for "further train­ing-for communicators," "andfor 'recipients, that they learnmore about media so that theyare indeed 'free and adequatelyprepared' people."

The cardinal's advice was.contained in a pastoral messageincluded in the missalette pre-'pared for a special Mass mark­ing World Communications Day.

The document speaks atlength on the place of women inthe family in biblical times,women's social condition accord­ing to the Bible, and women inthe Church according to theBible.

It is expected that groups in­volved with the question ofwhether or not women can beordained to the priesthood willuse excerpts from the Commis­mission document in support ofvarious positions. But the doc­ument makes it clear that theCommission members do not re­gard the New Testament asproviding in their view-a clearsettlement of the problem.

Preaching in the fourth century, St. John Chrysostomonce said to his people: "The Lord says, I feed you withMy own' flesh and make Myself one with you, desiring youall to be of noble blood even in this life; and giving yougood hope of the life to come. For if I have given Myselfto you here, much more shall I do so in the world to come.I have willed to become your brother. For your sakes Ihave shared with you flesh and blood. To you I give againthis flesh and blood by means of which I became yourfellow man."

As the faithful of the Diocese of Fall River observethis weekend a Eucharistic time of prayer, they can neverforget their dignity as children of the Father and brothersand sisters of Jesus Christ. In the Eucharist the Lord Jesuscommunicates Himself in a real way. Through the givingof His Body and Blood he renews within His brothers andsisters the Christ-Ufe by which the words of the Lord arefulfilled: "Abide in Me and I in you."

There must be response to the offering by the Lordof His Body and Blood. There must be the renewing ofdetermination to let Christ live fUlly within oneself andthis must be worked out in the thinking and speaking andacting of every day's living.

All too often people expect Christ to do all the workwithin themselves. 'In this regard St. Augustine has said,"God, Who created you without your consent, will notredeem you without your cooperation."

Cooperation with Christ in the work of 'salvation meansthe way of salvation and this in turn means the way ofCalvary. There cannot be renewal without effort and sacri­fice, without some measure of the pain of self-denial. Thewords of the Baptist still are the standard for men. "I mustdecrease while He must increase."

The Rescuing of ,FatherFather's Day would probably have a greater"power to

touch the hearts of people if it were not so obvious thatits origin seems as much commercial as sentimental.

Having' said that, however, one must still rejoice thatfather is not forgotten and hope that the designated Father'sDay will be not merely a "one day" remembering but apromise and a pledge of full-time respect for the fathers ofthe nation. All too often plays and television and radioshows have depicted the Dagwood type of father-hilar­ious, to be sure, but actually quite devastating in the imageperpetrated upon the so-called head of the family.

There are all too many "humorists" who are gettingtheir reputations enhanced (along with their bank accounts)from tearing down values and principles, treading heavilyon once-hallowed ground, and ridiculing what should beaccorded some measure of decent respect. The laughs arequick to come at such sallies and quips that demolish theonce sacred, but the lingering effect is damaging to thefabric of civilization.

Let us hope that father might be on the way to rescuefrom such attacks.

Going back over 100 years indress and school routines, 30kindergarteners from St. James­St. John School, New Bedford,with their teacher, Mrs. AnnitaRimmer, and several adult help­ers, spent a day at the One­Room Schoolhouse of Tinkham­town in Mattapoisett, maintainedto give space-age children ataste of Old-style education.

Garbed in colonial attire, theNew Bedford youngsters follow­ed a typical school day of yes­teryear, beginning with prayerand going on to reading from a"hornbook," a sheet of wordsand letters protected by trans­parent horn.

Oldtime lessons were mostlylearned by rote, known as the"blab" method, the kindergarten­ers discovered. They had noarithmetic to worry about, since'children in early-day Massachu­setts didn't begin its study untilage 11. However, a dunce stooland dunce hat were used in pri­mary classes and these were ondisplay in a corner of the school­room.

Lunch ,didn't include bakerygoods, potato chips or candy.The day's menu was cornbread,a slice of cheese, an apple and

covers a separate topic: Mem­ories, Listening, Replays, andLife-Giving. The evening startswith a brief talk by the leader­couple. Each person then fillsout a short questionnaire. Thereare no "right" or "wrong" an­swers to these questions. Theyare designed to make parentsthink about what they do andwhy.

Couples share these answerswith each other and then with asmall group. The .evening issummarized by the leader­couple.

Typical of the thought-provok­ing questions raised in the ses­sions are: "What kind of par­ent do you want to be?" "Whathappens when the children arecenter stage?" "How do yourmemories affect your relation­ship with your children?" "Whatwould .make you a success asa parent?"

There are many such ques­tions, probing deeply into areaswe seldom explore. I found themeye-opening, heartening, under­standing, and encouraging. . .and I've been a practicing par­ent for 21 years, with 133 child­years experience.

They are discussed in an at­tractive and readable paperback,Parents Are Lovers, which fol­lows the order of the Eveningsfor Parents and is available for$2:95 from Marriage EncounterResource Community, 295 North­ern Blvd., Great Neck, NY 11021.If there are no Evenings forParents in your area, you maywant to start them.

The book is excellent reading... but I'm sure you'll get muchmore by participating in thesessions, getting involved in thediscussions. And besides ... in­volved in the sessions, you willbe less likely to skip over ques­tions you don't want to thinkabout. And those questions usu­ally are the ones that offer themost opportunity to learn.

Try it! You may change an"Us against Them" attitude intorecognizing that your childrenare the expression of your love... for your whole lifetime.

In the past, about the only way to learn how to bea parent was on-the-job training. You observed how yourparents did it, how other people did it, then got marriedand started raising children of your own. With the train­ing so formal, it's 'amazingthat parents do as well asthey do in raising children.It's even more amazing thatthe Church, which stresses theimportance of family life somuch, has done so little to raisethe standards for parenthood.

A rash of recent reports aboutside effects from oral contracep­tives has prompted an increasein public demand for reliablenatural birth control methods.

By Dan MothersillTORONTO (NC)-Medical re­

searchers at St. Michael's Hospi­tal here say they are on theverge of a major breakthroughwhich could produce a safe, ef­fective and Church-endorsedmethod of fertility control.

The device-tentatively calledthe electronic speculum-is nowbeing tested on women aftersuccessful animal experiments.

"It showed consistent resultson sheep," said Dr. AI Woolever,the inventor. It has been testedon po~t-menopousal womentreated with estrogen, "and we

. are very optimistic. it will workon young, cycling females," headded.

Dr. Woolever, chief of obstet­rics and gynecology at St. Mi­chael's, says the device's effec­tiveness could he determined inas little as two months.

The electronic speculum isbased on the principle tliat priorto ovulation, the body producesestrogen which causes increasedblood flow in the reproductiveorgans.

The developers hope that byprecisely pinpointing ovulationthe device will permit couplesusing fertility control to abstainfrom sexual relations for onlyabout a four-day period insteadof the eight or 10 days requiredby methods already in use.

While prices of this bounty,clams, lobsters, swordfish, vege­tables and fruit have skyrock­eted, just the fact that we canbuy them fresh is a real plus, de­spite rising costs. Just think ofthe inland areas that have to paythe price whHe not really get­ting the fresh item.

Water, Weeding, Fe1edingBy Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

We have just set out our window boxes for the year.These are fairly easy if a few simple rules are followed. Firstboxes should have drainage holes drilled in the bottom todrain excess water, or the plants will have wet feet, whichcan cause problems. I usu­ally place an inch or so ofstone in the bottom of mywindow boxes to facilitatethis drainage; this does littleharm because most windowbox plants are shallow rooted.

Because of the drainage, how-

ever, one must he sure that theboxes have enough water. In anelevated and exposed position,they tend to dry out rapidly, soone shou'ld water them almostevery day. The extra wateringalso means that leaching will oc­cur, so liquid fertilizer shouldbe added to the boxes at leastonce a month.

This year I used geraniums,white cascade petunias and rockcress in two boxes facing east,and in one which faces northand gets very little sun, I setout two fuschias, white cascaresand a purple petunia, called Mal­ibu. This should give sufficientcolor in all three boxes, al­though at this juncture theylook rather sparse.

Simple MaintenanceMaintenance of the boxes is

fairly simple. They should beweeded about once every twoweeks and old blooms shouldbe cut off in order to keep theplants producing. This is espe­cially true of petunias, whichtend to go to seed if faded flow­ers are allowed to stay on theplants. With reasonable water­ing, feeding and weeding thereis no reason why boxes cannotlast in full bloom untH close tothe first frost in the late fall.

I have tried a number of vari­ations in my window boxes, butMarilyn prefers geraniums toanything else. However, you canuse any short and spreadingplant as the basis for the win­dow garden. Obviously, what­ever is used must be placedwhere it receives the sun it re­quires, but other than that thechoice is unlimited. I have useddwarf marigolds and zinniaswith petunias; hanging begoniasare lovely; nothing is nicer thanfuchsia. I have to admit that Ihave seen few combinations ofplants in window boxes that Ihave not enjoyed, and thebusier the better.

In the KitchenLast evening we enjoyed

strawberries from the gardenfor dessert and tonight wetasted the first lettuce of theseason. A small vegetable gardenis a lot of work, but a great joywhen you can pick and eat inthe same day.

As I have often mentioned inthis column, many veg~tablesare well worth waiting for and

Con Game

The Washington Star reportsthat airport officials are almostunanimously of the opinion thatwhat these well-scrubbed HareKrishnas are doing is a congame and that it ought to beprohibited.

However, according to theStar, lawyers for the group haveargued successfully all the wayto the Supreme Court that itsaggressive fund-raising activ­ities in airports and other publicplaces are protected by the Con­stitutional guarantees of freedomof speech and religion.

Although, the courts, for thetime being, don't see' it this way,airport authorities still have thepower to curtail, if not to elim­inate the Hare Krishna racket.They can do this by perfectlylegal means. For example, theycan inform the public, by an­nouncements over the airportloud-speaker system, that theflowers being forced on travel­ers by the Hare Krishnas do notrequire a donation. Some aid­ports have begun to do this un­offiCially. I hope they will keepit up and that, sooner or later,even more effective means canbe found, within the limits nowpermitted by the courts, to cur­tail, if not to eliminate whatcan only be described as abloody nuisance and a clearabuse of religious freedom.

three-minute stroll through theWashington National Airport. Iwas accosted by five zealots,each of whom tried to embar­rass me into contributing a dol­lar "to help people in distressand teach them of God." ,

Anyone wearing a distinctiveuniform (clergymen, n~ns, andmembers of the military is at aspecial disadvantage in coping ,with this highly organized "reli­gious" racket. For obvious rea­sons, he would rather cough upa donation that attract attentionto himself by getting into anargument

I felt that way the first 20or 30 times I was accosted bythe Hare Krishnas, but I gotover my embarrassment. At thepresent time, I wouldn't givethem a dime, much less a dol­lar, under any circumstances.

Major Assault

The MaximaIists often exudecontempt and hostility towardworking-class Catholic families,accusing them of indifference toworld solutions for world prob­lems, of indifference to the pov­erty of the Third World, of ig­norance with regard to the BigPicture, the "world crisis." (Hemight have added that suchcharges are not only unfoundedbut fly in the face of contraryempirical evidence about the at­titudes of ordinary. Catholics.)

The brief four-page article isa major assault from within theJesuit community by one of itsleading lights. Navone confrontsthe tum away from both pro­fessiona'l competence and fromdirect service to the ordinarylaity that Jesuit and otherCatholic social action has takenduring the last decade.

he assumes that he and his fel­low ideologues have no need forself-transformation; that worldproblems have not been solvedbecause of aM the people in theworld who do not share hisideology.

"Maximalists, .consequently,tend to approach world-transfor­mation by publishing endlessdocuments consisting of theirideology's basic commonplaces,platitudes, and banalities. Theyassume that the volume of suchdocumentation and the repeti­tion of their ideological com­monplaces are the best meansfor transforming the world. Infact, new documents consistlargely of quotations from pre­vious documents, so that there isseldom any genuinely newthought in the new document."

The Christian Minimalist isnot unaware of the big pictures,but "he does not allow suchawareness to blind him to theconcrete needs· of his -local com­munity, needs which may seemtrivial to the MaximaJist ..."Like the Good Samaritan, theMinimalist actually does some­thing of value for the desperateindividual right in front of him.

But since his approach isgeared to action and not state­ment-issuing, his concern isabout the here and now - thefamily, the neighborhoods, theordinary people. .Structuresdoubtless must be reformed,though this will not usuaJIly hap­pen by drawing up a greatmaster plan, but people mustalso be served.

imalist" demands that the goodwhich can and should be donemust be done in the name ofcharity and justice. The "Chris­tian Maximalist" is concernedwith panaceas for world prob­lems. Navone notes tartly, "In­asmuch as no one is capable ofresolving world problems, (theMaximalist) is not really boundby any pressing moral obliga­tion." Hence (and Father Na­vone is too gentle to say it ex­plicitly) the MaximaJIist dis­charges his obligations by goingto meetings and issuing state­ments.

Undemanding Compassion

The Maximalist is filled withcompassion for suffering andoppressed people. But I his. com·passion is proportionate to theremoteness of the beneficiaryand therefore comfortably un·demanding. He is preoccupiedwith remote problems beyondhis experience though not be­yond his rhetoric. He knowswhat is good for India, for ex­ample, even if he can't work outanything for his own highschool. He knows what is goodfor Latin America even if hehas nothing to offer his ownneighborhood. He constructsblueprints for the new interna·tional economic order but he ishell to live with.

And then, in what can only beinterpreted as an attack notonly on the Center for Concernbut on much of the wolildwidesocial action style of the Jesuitsand many other Catholics, Na­vone describes the Maximalistat work:

"The Maximalist, basically anideologue, tends to fasten on anideology, a master-plan, as apanacea. Like most ideologues,

The distinguished Jesuit theologian John Navone .haslaunched a devastating attack on the style of social com­mitment practiced by many American Catholics in the cur­rent issue of "The Homiletic and Pastoral Review." Theyinclude particularly the everpresent eager beavers of theCenter for Concern-thoughNavone himself discreetlymentions no one.

He contrasts "Christian min­imalism" with "ideological max­imlll1ism." The "Christian Min-

BY FATHERJOSEPH M. CHAMPLIN

"Father, we are just a groupof lonely people who get to­gether for support."

Those words came from thelips of a woman in her 40s, di­vorced, mother of several andmember of the One-Parent Fam­ily Council in .a neighboringcity.

I spoke to some 50 personsof that group gathered for theirmonthly meeting in the' diningroom of a local hotel.

In operation since 1974, theOne-Parent Family Councilseeks to provide "a gatheringfor area parents who, becauseof death, divorce, separation ordesertion, are forced to dependsolely on their own resources tomaintain a good life for them­selves and their children. Thecouncil hopes to aid in this en­deavor by helping the parent tosuccessfully adjust to his newsituation, and exploring theneeds of child and parent in the~>ne-parent household."

This is not a Catholic group,although many present were inpractice or allegiance RomanCatholic. But the organization,or one simiIar to it, certainly de­serves the Church's stllong en­couragement.

Monthly meetings include' abrief business session, a speakeror special program, followed byan "After-Glow" of dancing/so­cializing. Additionally, the offi­cers attempt to plan one socialactivity each weekend.

Sundays seem to present oneof the most painful periods forthe woman in a one-parent sit­uation. The ex-husband andfather normally enjoys visitationrights on that day leaving herhome-alone and lonely.

Going to movies, concerts,plays, lectures and other eventsfor entertainment is another dif­ficult time. Instead of renewingthe one-parent's spirits, thoseoccasions often depress them."Do you realize how hard it isto go out alone?" The hurt in myquestioner's voice and eyes wasall too obvious.

The council's activities easeboth situations. Sunday get­togethets help fill that day's

olic doctrine, morality, worshipand life-style.

That is no longer true. Forbetter or worse, the uniform pat­tern of Catholic teaching andliving has disappeared. A visit toany two parishes in any townor city dramatically confirms thelack of uniformity. The RomanCatholic Church today ismarked ,by wide differences. Inplace of uniformity there existsa pluralism.

Even present catechetical ef­forts to clarify the Church's"basic teachings" highlight thepluralism rather than reveal uni­formity. Four or five "cate­chisms" for adults have ap­peared in the United States with­in the past few years. Each pre­sents a summary of Catholicteaching. Each is presumablyorthodox. But each is different.Not in the sense of heresy. Theaffirmations of the Creed arepresent in them all. They allteach Jesus' law of love andMoses' 10 commandments. Theyall teach seven sacraments.

But they contain differences-of emphasis, of approach, oflanguage, and at times of prac­tical conclusions. There are dif­fering theologies underlyingthem. These attempts at puttingtogether for adults definitiveexplanations of Catholic teach­ing and practice reveal the samekinds of differences found for adecade in religion textbooks forchiIdren a·nd youth. They giveevidence that the time is notripe for one catechism for aM

In the second part of theGospel Jesus reveals an evenmore profound mystery, that ofthe Son of Man. It is a sort ofcounterbalance to the revelationof the Messiah, for the Apostlesshared to a great extent theircompatriots' erroneous viewsabout the Person and work ofthe Messiah. Jesus had to cor­rect these notions. This He didby revealing Himself as the Sonof Man, a mysterious title whichhad certain messianic connota­tions in the Jewish literature ofthe day, but which, of its verynature, stressed the humility ofthe Messiah. . "

He is indeed the gloriousMessiah, but His path to glorywiN be the way of the cross.This was not an easy conceptfor the disciples to grasp, andMark calls attention over andover again to their lack ,of un­derstanding. It may well be thatthe community for which Markwrote needed the reminder ofthe real nature of the Christianlife. Basking now in the lightof the resurrection, they mayhave overemphasized a sort oftheology of glory. This couldhave been really dangerous, forpersecutions were sure to come,had already come, and they

The Evangelists did more thansimply record the already exist­ing traditions of the Christiancommunities. They did this, ofcourse, but each brought hisown viewpoint, his own theol­ogy. Even the Gospel of Mark,whIch seems like such a simpletelling of the story, turns out,upon analysis, to be profoundlytheological. Mark set out to pre­sent the earthly career of Jesusas a revelation: a revelation ofthe mystery of the Messiah anda revelation of the mystery ofthe Son of Man. These form thetwo big divisions of his Gospel.

Three sections are discerniblein the first division, each ofthem ending with a remarkabout the reactions of differentgroups to Jesus' self-revelation.In 3,6 the Pharisees decide Heshould he put to death; in 6,1-6we see how His own relativesmisunderstood Him; and in 8,27-30 Peter acknowledges thatHe is the Messiah. This. confes­sion of Peter's marks the climaxand conclusion of the first upartof the Gospel. It is presented asa turning point in Jesus' minis­try, which now takes a newturn: in the direction of Jeru­salem.

"Whatever happened to theChurch we knew back in the50s?" an old friend asked me re­cently. "I remember going toQuebec one summer. Even thoughI didn't know much French, theMass was in Latin and every­thing was just like back in St.Louis."

with "uniformity" graduallygrew, reaching its culminationin the centuries immediately fol­lowing the Council of Trent inthe 16th century, and ending inthe early 1960s.

Today the Church faces thechallenging task of forging adeeper unity while respectinglegitimate differences. The large­ly "cultural" uniformity can bereplaced by a more profoundlyspiritual unity. To achieve suchcreative unity, respecting thegifts of each within the commu­nity, Jesus and His Father giveus the Holy Spirit, the Spirit ofunity.

Moments of nostalgic recol­lection with friends are good.The good old days of uniformityhad their good points. But theyexist no more. Whether withtears or shouts of joy at theirpassing, we are all called towork together toward a newunity, deeper and richer becauseof our legitimate differences.

E Pluribus Unum'ent. Even something we wouldconsider as important as thewords of Jesus in instituting theEucharist are recorded different­ly in Mark, Matthew, Luke andPaul. John does not even recordthem. The, date and circum­stances of the last Supper differin John's account from the otherthree Gospels. The Church isdefined in a rich variety of sym­bols rather than a standard uni­form definition. Perhaps mostdisconcerting at first are thediffering accounts of Jesus'resurrection.

Jesus prayed that His follow­ers be one. There is no evidencethat He prayed for uniformity.The traditional Creeds of theChurch profess one Church, butthat one Church tolerated richdifferences. St. Paul, who is mosteloquent on the unity of theChurch, fought for the legitimatedifferences between JewishChristians and Greek Christians.The identification of "unity"

Such is the fact of the matter.The Roman Catholic Church in1976 in the United States' andaround the world reveals differ­ences and diversity. Pluralismhas replaced the uniformity wegrew up with.

Uniforimty Was RecentHow one interprets that fact '

differs radically. Some rejoice inthe richness of differences.Others lament the lost securityof uniformity. Whatever one'spersonal reaction to the fact, itis good to reflect on some factsof the Church's history. It wasonly in quite recent times thatChurch unity tended to becomeidentified with uniformity. Aclose reading of the New Testa­ment reveals a unity iliat toler­ated striking differences-of the­ological understanding, of moralconvictions, of worship and life­style.

The four Gospels which pro­vide us with the early Church'sunderstanding of Jesus presentfour differing views of Jesus.The four do not contradict eachother, but they are quite differ-

idea that Jesus should suffer­Peter, who had just professedthat Jesus was the Messiah. Thesecond section (11,1·13,37) con­tains Jesus" judgment in Jeru­salem, ending with the predic­tion of its destruction, and thethird is the account of the pas­sion, death, and resurrection.

Majestic DramaMatthew'S approach is quite

different. From one point ofview, his Gospel could be de­scribed as a majestic drama intwo acts, complete with pro­logue and epilogue. The plotwould be as follows. Emmanuel(God with us), the Messiahpromised by the prophets, cameto earth to fulfill the expecta­tions of His people. He askedthem to accept Him and Histeachings, to give themse~ves toHim completely. But He an­nounced, too, that He was takingthe Gentiles into His Kingdom.Thus the role of the officialJudaism of that time as the in­strument of universal salvationwould be' magnificently accom­plis. But they would have noth·ing to do with either Him or theGentiles.

The two acts in which thisdrama of salvation is playedout comprise chapters 3-13 and14-28. Chapters 1-2, the InfancyGospel, and 28-1-20, the resur­rection account, function as pro­logue and epilogue. It would re­quire a detailed commentary todo justice to the consummateartistry with which the authordevelops the plot. Especi!ll1ly ef­fective is his use of the numberfive. Just by way of example,his Infancy Gospel is structuredaround five Old Testament cita­tions. And the body of the Gos­pel is made up of five 'booklets,each -consisting of a narrativeand a long synthetic sermonwhich develop some aspect ofthe central theme of the king­dom.

This five-fold arrangement wasa 'deliberate imitation of the fivebooks of the Law of Moses.Here, now, that Law finds itsperfect realization in the Gospel.It seems quite clear that Mat­thew was written for JewishChristians, accused by their com­patriots of having abandonedthe true religion of their fathers.Matthew reassures them that farfrom having abandoned it theyhave embraced it in its perfec­tion.

Borrowing the terminology ofFather David Stanley, we maydescribe the five booklets asfollows:

The first (3,1-7,29) describesthe foundation of the Kingdom.The second (8, 1-11, 1) depictsthe dynamic of the Kingdom.The third (11,2-13,53) has astheme the Kingdom as a mys­tery. The fourth (13,54-19, 1)deals with the structure aridconduct of the Christian commu­nity, which, however, is not tobe identified purely and simplywith the Kingdom. The fifth(19,2-26,2) comes to a climaxin Jesus' prophecy of the fall ofJerusalem, an event which willmark a clear recognition, of theChurch as a vital organism un­mistakably independent of Juda­ism.

Obviously this ordering ofmaterial is more logical andtheological than chronologicaland geographical, but it has amajesty all its own.

LifeCome: On Over

If my life gets like a jigsaw with the pieces out of place,Come on over, put a smile back on my face.

And if all my bad days come at once,you would know just what to do

Come on over, baby, you would see me through.

Olivia Newton-John's latest single reminds me of Lucy ather Psychiatric Help 5-cent office waiting for Charlie Brown tocome by. Both say -a lot about the importance of asking forhelp in times of trouble.

"Come On Over" is different from the Peanuts cartooncharacters. It is more like real life. Charlie Brown seeks helpdirectly while Olivia sings as ·one who knows she needs helpat times but can't bring herself to ask for it directly. Instead,she approaches it shyly - "if you think I need you comeon over."

Asking for help is not always easy. We'd rather strugglea~one than to let someone else know that sometimes we hurtinside. Such an attitude is common today because our cultureplaces such a big value on strength and makes fun of weakness.

We know deep down that it's O.K. not to be perfect orstrong always, but because we're pressured to be the prettiest,the strongest, the best dressed, the winner, we tend to forgetat times our worth as persons, imperfect though we are.

Look at the response to movies like "Brian's Song" and"The Other Side of the Mountain." These true stories touchedmany people because they showed how physical infirmity oreven the closeness of death could not conquer the spirit.

But it wasn't personal strength alone that brought thesepeople through their crises nor is it that way with us. It isonly because people love us and accept us with our weaknesses'as well as with our strengths that we can make it through life.

If "Come On Over" tells us something about ourselves ­that it's not too bad to admit we need help even though we arehesitant - it also tells us something about others. We mustbe sensitive to the shy cries for help from people who livearound us, people who are afraid they will be rejected if theyadmit weakness to us.

When I cannot see in front of me, and I know my darkest dayCome on over, you can take it all away.

And if you thInk I need you, come on overBring your love around, you can wipe away my tears,

And if you think I need you, come on over.Lay your body down, you know I will be here,

So bring your love around.If you think, if you think I need you, come on over.

And if you think I need you, come on overBring your love around, you can dry away my tears.

And if you think I need you, come on over.Lay your body down, you know I will be here,

So bring your love around.'--

At J9 I am so con­fused, so out .touch with myselfand others tlJ.at it's as if I werealone on this planet, like a one­of-a-kind species. I would like torecover something of value ifthere's anything of that kindleft. I don't want to sound likean old cynic but I can't seem tofind answers anywhere. LK.

A. It is you young people forwhom I feel sorry. So many ofyou tell me that the problems inyour lives are so immense andso cosmic that you feel there isnothing you can do about it.

I admit there are a lot of badthings going on. But there, arestill ble~sings to count, believeit or not. Each day we must girdup our strength and with courageface another onslaught. Whydon't you try not listening tothe news for awhile? Forgetabout systems that aren't work­ing, religions that don't fill yourparticular needs. You are stillvery young and I hope and praythat later you will find some­thing-eall it religion or what­ever":""that will turn your lifearound. Spend a great deal oftime with nature, let the freeair and the ocean breeze's circu­late, -let, if you will, heaven'slight shine in all those darkplaces of your mind.

Don't live in the ruins of falseopinions. Don't let them takeover your life. Look for themarks of God around you, forthey are there. I know that manyof the young have fled into akind of privatized, subjectiveworld of self-fulfillment or evenself-indulgence, closing theireyes to horrors; the complex­ities of dealing with our commonpublic life. But I also know thatmany have now left that kind oflife and come back. Where's the .answer? You'll have to find itfor yourself.

Star-Spangled Week, It was a star-spangled week at St. Stanislaus School,

Fall River, as students in colonial attire held a huge birthday

party for the nation, beginning with a Mass at which early

settlers of differing ethnic backgrounds were memorialized.

Daily assemblies included folksinging and special pres­

entations on Indians, the First Americans; Founders and

Builders of Our Nation; Election of a President; The Mean­

ing of ·America; and Historical Monuments.

Early American cooking was explored, with children

making johnnycakes, cornbread, taffy and applesauce; while

craft projects utilized materials available to colonists and

produced plaques, cut-outs, quilts and a Bicentennial flag.
