Pentecost: Mary
Ord·nations are
Guest Editorial
The Catholic Weekly Sydney From this Sunday we are able to give a new dimension to what the word Catholic means in the Southern Hemisphere as we give honour to Mary, the Mother of God and the patroness of our country. The commencement of the Marian Year on Pentecost Sunday can be a turning-point for us just as it was for the disciples of Jesus as they gathered with Mary, and the mysterious force of the Holy Spirit descended upon them. Once again we gather, as today's disciples, with Mary and we open up our hearts to the Spirit. Pentecost 1987 calls us together to hear God's message in loving submission - that "surrender" that Mary exhibited in such an unprecedented and wonderful way. It also calls us to resp ct the different forms that the apostolate of others can take. Should there be dis greements, so be it. As Saint Paul and Saint Barn bas quarreled, then set bout different courses as brothers in faith, we should not create barriers but g t on with the job that God calls us to do. From ny tree of conflict, l t there b good fruit growing for our children nd their children tot ke. r, o m ny discour. g d peopl. in our soci ty. They need to be told how valu bt, they re, how God loves them. They also ne d to b told bout M ry, th t her story is not a legend, but living fact. They n d to he that ubmission to God's love is th first step tow rds n /ife. The discour. d n d also to b hown by th way that e ct nd p k that M ry i our queen. Our orthodoxy will b ineffective unl. s it is comp nied by ortho r. xi , the " cts" valving from our pecial devotion to our sinless Lady. As mother Mary wants h r children to set a good ex mpl. in soci ty. It i up to u to give h r gfi at pt. sent over th n xt 18 months. Let us st rt by loving others.

How parishes set about the task of training lay leaders for specific ministries and leadership positions is the focus of NC's Religious Education Package this week. Debbie Landregan writes of a man who says he was dragged screaming and kicking into youth ministry some years ago by his teenage daughter. Over the years he has discovered some interesting facts about the needs of ministers such as himself. Katharine Bird interviews Wilham Johnston, a religious education consultant. He talks about doing an in-service seminar in a parish for an adult education committee and tells her that building community rs one of his goals in training ministers. Dominican Father David O'Rourke tells how a married couple became counselors in a diocesan marriage preparation program.
The hook that pulled Peg and Tom Cleary into deeper par ish involvement at St Timothy', parish was a class they took - 20 year, ago. Since their child was enrolled in a Catholic school, it might have been easy for them to ignore the
ctass altogether
The fact is, their par-
ish offered a training course for volunteer catechctical teacher, and the couple "decided to take the course and see if we were really interested," Mr, Cleary
explained. Over the yearv. the

At his pastor's suggestion, Lawrence moved mto the presbytery with an eye to becoming more acnv e in a parish setting as well as testing the call to a religious vocation. V(bat lay leaders first need is a reahsation of their baptismal call "to go out and preach the Gospel," Lawrence says "Loving God and loving your neighbor doesn't take a college degree " At the parish, Lawrence ha.'> served as a euchar+suc minister, works wtth the ushers and helps v.ith youth act 1, uies

Laity calls readiness "Good friends, you know that your great mission as laity calls for I certain readiness and preparation ... In order to work in (the Lord's) hanest, it is necessary that you first become Jesus' intimates, like the disciples. You have
to accompany the Lord replarly in prayer ... You ou1ht
to lle<ome familiar with the whole of the Gospel and so drink al the foant.ain of faith." (Pope John Paul II addressin1 lay ministers in Antwerp, Bel1:ium1 1985). The trainin1 lay ministers in the Church receive these days is meant to enable them to sene others better. An interestin& ltyproduct of this training, however, is its effect on the lay ministers themselves. ln,ol,ement in a Church ministry - whether liturgical ministry or social ministry among the poor - has become
a chief means of ongoing relicious education amonc the laity. People want lo be ready - prepared - for the
responsibility they1,e accepted. This means that more and more lay ,olunteers are participating in seminars and classes that may be as brief as I Saturday afternoon or as lone as one or two e,enings a week over the course of many weeks. The word "training" tends to conj re 11p Mtions !Mt do not encompass all that is in,ol,ed '" the traininc for a p.arish or diocesan lay ministry, howe,er. Parish council members, for example, often go off on a weekend retreat tocether to prepare for their ministry: • ia a• atmosphere of warmth, they hope to grow into a true community and to understand on a more profound level what a Christian community can be. An appreciatMMI for what a romm11nity of Christ's followen c.an be is one of the keys to ministry

Creating a sense of community 1s an important aspect of training lay ministers. Johnston explained The lay m,n,ster ,s not only called to serve others. but "to grow m faith," he said Becoming a welcome member of a close-knit community helps to create an atmosphere where such growth can occur Johnston was d11ector of religious education at another parish where he occasionally encountered lay persons who res,sted the thought of training sessions Sometimes their reluctance stemmed from a belief that they already possessed the necessary skills for their ministry, Johnston explained Other times 11 was simply a matter of busy people who had made a commitment to parish servlC9 but hesitated when asked to add hours of training to that commitment Johnston draws a parallel between training for ministry and on-the-Job tra1n1ng ,n other work situations Smee he believes parishioners "deserve the most effective ministry" possible, he ,nv,tes prospective ministers to ·g,ve the training a try and see if 11 helps." Generally 11 what 1s going on 1n a training program ,s good, people will like 11" and benefit from 11, he concluded

Papal message praised from Trevor BOARDMAN. Fremantle
Srr, Congratulations on an excellent summary (The Record June 4) of the Holy Father's encyclrcal, Redemptorrs Mater. It was wond rf ul ind d to see the strong emphasis laid upon th documents of Vatican II in relation to the encyclical. with particular reference of course to Lumen Genuum Ch 8 Hopefully, this will help to bring a final and merciful end to th tortured old chche that claimed - rn diametric contradistinction to factual reality - that · atican II downgra ed evonon to Mary", a blatant
and mischievous falsehood that became a major cause of today's wide and unnecessary split within the C thohc Church. let us hope and pray that during this Marian Year. a rediscovery of our heavenly Mother's love and intercession for the entire human race will (a) spur on true ecumenism, evangelism and catechesis. and (b) restore Catholics' scriptural, doctrinal. moral, theological and pfulosophical unityin-truth that has been so ruthlessly, insid ously and system ticallv und rrruned and shattered by rmsmtorrners (posing as "reformers") over the last twenty years

On the question whether Blessed Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) was a Jew or a Catholic (The Record May 21) I would attempt to answer in the same manner as I id ntify myself (i.e. a Jewish convert to the Roman Catholic faith in 974) that am as Jewish as Saint Paul and as Christian as Saul of Tarsus! One d snot ceas to Jewish by following Jesus Chr st. in d scent from Krng David, who ulfilled the Jewish law.

The role of a chaplain in the 'youth milieu' is far from clear judging from the comments of ma y chaplains in WA and the ot r states of ustralia. The subject of chaplains was discussed at t e ational meeting of university Catholic Societies Tertiary Cat lie Federa· tion of ustralia (TCF ), I atte ded in elbourne recently. t as agreed the cha· plai 's role as been unclear because t e groups and TCFA have bee ncl ar about their o n ro or vision. Practical steps ere t n to relieve the present
requirement from chaplains. At the same time cha· plains should e courage the group to commit itself to the visio of the national b dy. For many chaplai s tension exists between the perceived need of the gro p for direction from e chaplain and the cha· p ain's wish to remain in he background, to analyse a to be bjective. Chaplai s could ell initiate groups e.g. liturgy preparation or discussio gr ps a then a d over the reins to the students. s a secretary of the International ovement of Catho ic Students lex Var·

Commitment is seriously lacking to those areas that TCFA is concerned with namely, a Christian life, formation (ac uiring a se se f issio ), education (in extracurricular areas), outreac (giving drink to those w o thirst) and lastly prayer.
