ROME: The original handkerchief signed by imprisoned Solidarity members - which has become a symbol of support for the banned Polish trade union - has been presented to the Pope. "Thank you, thank you. "This is very precious to me," Pope John Paul said when he was given the gift by an Italian trade union leader.

Post mortem (Christi): Easter's aftermath If Easter is but a four day holiday then it has to be buried along with a trail of equally forgettable experiences. But if Easter is the Risen Lord then it becomes a feast for eternity. The question confronting the women about to bury Christ on that first Easter morning was who would roll away the stone. The question that faces the postChristian late 20th century is who has rolled the stone back in place again and sealed Jesus in His tomb. It was a pleasant. joyful Easter for many, judging by the agreeable weather. the absence of riots or other squalls of human behaviour that brea out on these occasions. It was possibly a holy Easter too. judging by the comment and recognition it received. There were extensive religious reports not just from the traditional sites of Jerusalem and the world-wide recognition given annually to the Pope's Good Friday Way of the Cross and his Easter Sunday message (which for the first time was fac-similed from Vatican Radio to T e Catholic Weekly Sydney and thence on to The Record for our page one story this week). Locally, newspapers evoted all or part of their editorals to the religiou si nificance of the Resurrection or at least to the part Chri tIan values play in life . Preacher in city church s ere extensively reported even if interest c ntred on subtle but clear refer nee to the hedont m and e ual p rm, sivene s hat has brought society o its pre ent AIDS plight. everthele s he place of moral di cipltne a a more welcome messa e than the ide-line bic ering over hether the Grim eaper ad been too trong medicine for ea stomachs. ost revealing. howe er, ,ere tories hinting that increased or. at least teady. church attendance suggested that religious f 1th, at least. might be holding its o n against the mindless ide of e . booze and con umerism that i eatmg out the country's eart. Church attendance thu a become one of the curious barome ers of the spiritual weather much Ii e the Commonwealth census becomes a test of religious emperature.

Catholics. for example. have the reality that less than a third of the adherents are at a on an average Sunday and lightly more than half at £aster or Christmas.

Wha ever the compas ionate explanations, the massive ab ence of Australians from their traditional churche is the result and not the cau e of their loss of a God they so earnestly long for - otherwise why their faithful censu declaration of 'religion'? The late 20th century 1s in danger of becoming a wasteland because mankind - at least the Westerninspired half - has lost the ability to find any god of value while the false gods of self indulgence and greed ta e over. Australia has reaped a generation of school children who no longer are able to pray, or wor hip, in any guise or language. In any bridge they have to cross to a church has collapsed and it is a chasm that embarrasses them . Christians believe that it is not merely calls for moral values. law and order, or even more humane gaol . that will solve this emptiness of the heart or even fill the churches.

Mi lio s tune to cardinal on faith LONDON: A tale of three journeys of faith was told by Cardinal Hume on the BBC World Service

this week. Addressing an estimated 30 million people in three broadcasts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, he described how visits to Auschwitz, Assisi and Lourdes this autumn left him with a "disturbing but ultimately hopeful picture". The death camp at Auschwitz,

where four million people, mostly Jews, were killed by the Nazis, is now a "lifeless and silent place" which serves as a warning to the world. In contrast, Assisi, was a "place of unspoiled beauty and almost tangible peace". The coming together in prayer of religious leaders on that day might mark the "first small beginning of a new civilisation of ove," the cardinal said. "We must not indulge in daydreams but neither shouk:J we minim• ise this remarkable effort to find a new and better way to achieve peace."

Un we lco me life ch a 9es For those of us who lead predictable lives, major change is about as welcome as a creature from another word. Change in areas that touch us personally - like family or health can be downright upending. We look at life's transition points with more than a little suspicion. After all, change involves loss, and loss involves pain.

Yet, as I want to suggest, these points of transition can be sources of great vitality and growth. To illustrate, I want to tell you a story. This time the account is firsthand It is about me.

A choice between the prudent ... and disastrous Decisions, decisionsl Some people make prudent ones ard grow as a result. Others make disastrous ones and harm themselves in the process. Think of King Ahab. He had it made. His palace complex sat atop the oommanding hill of Samaria, practically impregnable to hostile forces. It also offered a breathtaking view of the lush, green countryside. But. as Ahab contemplated all this beauty, he was not happy. In fact. he was upset He had noticed a particularly fine parcel of land that would have rounded out his holdings nicely. UnfOf'tunately, it belonged to his neighbour Naboth. Anab had offered Naboth an even better vineyard in exchange for it, or even a considerable amount of money. But Naboth's unhesitating answer was: 'The Lord forbid that I should give you my ancestral heritage" (I Kings 21"3). The land had been in his family for generations. To give it up would have been a betrayal of his forebears So disturbed was the king at Naboth's refusal tnat "'lying down on his bed, he turned away from food and would not eat"'

That acceptance of defeat disgusted his pagan spouse, Queen Jezebel.

• Scripture is "in". From parish lecture series to inform I group sharing, from adult education courses to private reading and reflection, people are turning to the pages of Scripture like never before. But is this heightened interest in the Bible a passing trend? Will the hunger for Scripture study among Catholics. sparked by the Second Vatican Council, diminish by the turn of the century?

ODD

Anthony Tambasco, an associate professor of theology, thin s not. He pointed to several encouraging signs that seem to indicate Scripture has taken firm root: • in pari hes, talks or short series on the Bible are usually what peopl request first wh n setting up adult-education pr99rams.

• at tertiary colleges, courses on the 81 le fill up immediately. "The more sections of a particular scripture course you offer, the more students will sign up," he said . through programs such as Renew in parishes, lay people are encouraged to read and reflect on Scripture with others. These e riences give people confidence that they can read Scripture, Tambasco said. Of cours , the Church's rene ed liturgy plays a large part in the r sur• gence of interest in Scrip ure. After Vatican II, people w re exposed to Scrip ture as nev r befo e. It is an important focal

r I

point in th Mass during the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist is struc ured around Scriptural prayers and passages now heard in English. In the classes he teaches, Tambasco initially encounters quest ions of a historical nature: What were the miracles? What was Israel Ii e in the time of Jesus? Stu ents want a better unders anding of how the Bible·s books were written . And they want to situate the accounts they hear in a historical conte . On a dee r, more spir• itual I vel, however, people are asking aboutf ith.

They are "trying o s e how the faith of that ftrst g neration gives expression to our own faith e rienc s." Tambasco said. He emphasised the Bible does not exist in a vacuum. Our understandi g of it grows and changes as we discover God revealing himself in new ways to every age. As the times change, people find th mselves confronted by new challenges, new dilemmas. For example, as people today begin to see not only the advances brought by technology and science. but also the limits of the age - that all this "progress" has not rd the word of poverty - t y a , "How does God ma e any sense at all when twothirds of the rid oes ngry?"
