Record The warmth and tears of joy with which the shipwrecked survivors will be welcomed back into the ranks of the living will be a powerful boost for human nature that hears too much bad news and not enough of the good. T e survivors' stories are going to be told worldwide for months to come ostensibly because media networks ma e it heir bus· ess to reveal the facts. The same networks also stand to make a lot of money because the facts happen to be a good emotional story. Away from the emotion, the facts may have to be told in a different light when questions are asked about how such a tragedy occurred in these days of so histicated transport and communication equipment. As the ostmortem of the recent French Airbus tragedy now confirms, the facts in cold daytight are a muc more chilling commentary on the way society values uman life.

KNOW YOUR FAITH

By Katharine Bird

For several years while

her children grew up, the woman offered loving support and encouragement to her husband as he fo11&ht and finally won his battle against alcohol.

A period of uneventful though content, family living followed. But then the woman's husband fell ill, with a debilitating long-term illness.

Pope John Paul II draws a connection between the parable of the Good Samaritan and what he calls the "eospel of suffering". The Good Samaritan reveals "what the relationship of each of us must be toward our suffering neighbour," the pope writes A good neighbour must put one's whole heart into bringing whale- help is needed to another person who suffers, the pope says. This rendition of "The Good

Samaritan" is from a 19th century woodcut by John Everett Millais.

Lessons I rom heart attack By Father David D'Rourke

On Sunday, November 13, I woke up unusually early in the morning, feelin& wide awake but very ill at ease. I checked the clock. H wasn't quite 5.30. But I decided to go out and get the paper, which had just been delivered.

found Suddenly myself doubled over as a chest-wrenching pain brought me to the edge of death. In those few moments, as the artery nourishing the back wall of my heart choked off, my own control over my life was slipping imperceptibly from my tightly clenched fists Ironically, five days earlier I had undergone a

and His passion also have more to do with control, and its loss, than with physical pain - or so it seems to me.

A few months earlier, just after my 50th birthday, I had gone backpacking in the mounlai ns. I was both surprised and pleased to discover how well I handled the mountain

For many of us it takes something like a heart attack, with its powerlessness, to become aware of just how much control we possess, how much control we find natural in our lives. It is so easy lo overlook the lack of control - the powerlessness and the suffering that goes with it - that is the lot of so many people in the world.

trails.

But independence and health all seemed very far away as I lay wired and doped in the hospital's roronary care unit. The suffering for me during these days was not really the pain. It was the powerlessness. For me suffering means having the control of my life in someone else's hands. The suffering of Christ

The Record, August 4. 1988

This theme, I think, is what underlies so much of the Church's social teaching today: How to give to all people the rontrol over life that is their due as human beings,

The woman helped her husband through several years before he died. With the support of sympathetic friends and her church's minister, she usually maintained a cheerful front as she carried out her responsibilities as helpmate, nurse and mother. After her husband's death, the woman rebuilt her life. She rejoiced in her career as a preschool principal. She found happiness in her three child.ren, watching them establish their own careers, marry and start

People react to suffering in diflemtt ways. But almost always they enter into sufferin& with a protest, writes Pope John Pa 111. The pope speaks about the Christian meaning of human suffering in a 1984 apostolic letter. Many of his reflections will strike a chord with his readers. Anyone who suffers wants to know why, the pope obserws. Often the question "Why?" is directed to God and to Christ. But then the questioner "cannot help noticin& that the - to whom he puts the question is himself sufferin& and wishes to answer him from the cross, from the heart of his own suffering".

Church social teaching challenges us to come lo terms with what the suffering of others really means. Control and powerlessness are also the principal spiritual issues that make or break our families and our religious rommunities. Twenty years of counselling married couples taught me that the struggle for control can he the major problem for many a troubled family. It proves to be the key issues that has to be clarified when a couple plans a marriage. The image of Christ on the cross is a picture that reflects a sinful human race having its way with God. It also is a picture of Christ submitting to this lack of control, this power! ness,

Her daughter, not yet 40 and the mother of two teenagers, was stricken with cancer. Seemingly cured the first time around. a second and more dis-d tres.,mg cancer ap a few months later

It is part of the mystery of suffering that this question "Why?" is diffi· cult to answer. Pope John Paul recoe· nises that many people think of suffering as a form of punishment. But he cautions readers: "While it is tn,e that

suffering has a meani as punishment, when it is connected with a fault, it is not tn,e that all suffering is a consequence of a fault and has the nature of punishment.'

In his perceptive letter, the pope addresses two . eparale groups: the individual who suffers and the encounter with others who suffer.

statement of the cost of being a Christian.

"If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny his very self, take up his cross, and follow in my steps." (Mark 8:34) If it is impossible to understand Jesus apart from the cross, it is also impossible to he a Christian without accepting and enduring crosses. And suffering, far from being a sign of God's displeasure, is a sign of his acceptance. That is part of the mystery of suffering. The fact remains: no pain, no gain. And when one stops to think of it, this is true of life in general, not just th Christian life. The first followers ofJ us learned this the hard way.

Mary, the first disciple - and the model disciple - was familiar with suffering. ot that her life, or anyone else's was an unrelieved succession of disasters. She experienced joy and many moments of happiness. But she also knew and accepted suffering, An aged man named Simeon is met in Luke's Gospel. Simeon warns Mary with these word: "You yourself will be pierced with a sword." (2:49)

The nature of that sword becomes clear n when very soon. It is tary and Joseph find the boy Jesus in the temple after an anxious search CA three days. Jesus responds to Mary's reproachful question

What made it even more difficult was that neither she nor Joseph were able to understand what He was talking about. Understanding would have helped at least a little. And so it was to be all through her life. In the account of the wedding feast al Cana Mary remarks to Jesus that the wine has run out.

His reply again implies dissociation of His work from hers - at least for the time of His public ministry: "Woman, how does this concern of yours involve \fe? My hour has not yet come," (lohn 2:4) The death of Jesus must have twisted Mary's heart agonisingly. Just the knowledge that h r

He stresses that ii is not a mailer of remaining passive in the face of suffering. But, he adds, roping with suffering is complicated by the fact that people react to it in different ways. The task always begins within the individual, the pope continues. and

son was dying in such disgrace and excruciating pain must have been unbearable. The other disciples also had to learn the lesson of the cross, though they were reluctant lo do so. The Gospel of Mark stresses the resistance of the disciples to Jesus' persistent teaching on the cost of discipleship. After each prediction of the passion by Jesus, they simply ignored the implications His suffering had for them. But each time Jesus insisted that they must follow His steps all the way. (Mark 8:31; 9:30-37; 10:32-45) Like so many disciples after them, they were all too eager to bask in glory. But they were most unwilling to pay the price - the price Jesus Himself paid

When he emerged vietoriously cancer-free several months later, I asked him how he had endured. He told me that during his illn one image kept recurring to sustain him: The image of Jesus as his coach. Al first I was startled. Jesus as a trainer shouting plays from the sidelines?

But as Jerry and I talked further, I understood what he meant. "To be a good coach; he reminded me. "it helps to have played in all kinds of circumstances. "You need the experience of being bruised, bloody and broken. "You need to know how to be a winner even when the score says you've lost." He pointed out that Jesus went through emotional anguish, physical pain, public humiliation. "Because He knew bow to transform suffering, He is our best teacher," Jerry said. I had to agree. I pictured Jesus alone in Gethsemane, terrified of what lay ahead. His closest friends, those who should have been offering all the support love can give, were asleep. He cried in his agony: "No, not Me!"

Jesus was in his prime, only three years into His life's work. His friends still needed His direction. His mother didn't deserve the horror of her only son's death. Most important, he had done nothing wrong.

"it often takes time, even a long time", lo work through to some sort of answer. Sometimes, as St Francis of Assisi and St Ignatius of Loyola discovered, suffering leads lo transformation.

strongly rooted in human suffering", the pope observes. The fear of being "a burden lo others" can be difficult to shake, he indicates.

Individuals see themselves as completely new persons: they discover a new dimension in their lives and vocations.

But, if all else fails, the philosopher-pope has a suggestion: Sufferers should remember the "irreplaceable service" they may provide to others.

One obstacle individuals may need to overcome is the terrible feeling of uselessness 'that is sometimes very

To explain what he means, the pope draws a ronncction between the Parable of the Good Samaritan and what he

calls the "gospel of suffering". These are linked The Good Samaritan reveals "what the relationship of each of us must be toward our suffering neighbour". Availability, the pope writes, is the key to being a good neighbour. It means putting one's whole heart into bringing whatever help is needed lo another person who suffers. And the Good Sarnaritan reaps a benefit, the pope thinks.

Jerry said he had similar thoughts as he struggled lo understand why al 37 he \\115 a cancer victim. He said he had tried to live a Christian life: He attended Mass regularly, prayed daily and participated in parish and diocesan activities. He volunteered his time and talent. He tried to be ethical in his business dealings and was a loving husband and a devoted father to his five children, aged 7 to 16. So why would God let him suffer so much? Jerry said he thought about Jesus' experience on Good Friday. Thal helped him realise suffering isn't punishment for personal wrongdoing, but is a mysterious human phenomenon which Christians are called to accept as somehow related to the divine. Jerry also realised that accepting suffering doesn't guarantee pain

In fact, after Jesus submitted to His father in Gethsemane, greater suffering occurred. Jerry went on to tell me how during chemotherapy be could sense Jesus' presence beside him, coaching him along with enrouragemenl and love.

strategies and ways to play."

"Suffering for me dwing those days was not really the pain," Father David K. O'Rourke writes. "It was the powerlessness. For me sufferi g means having the control of my live in someone else's hands."

St,

Sir, I was pleased to read (The Record, July 28) about the pope using the Eastern rite traditions in closing the Marian Year but it made me sad to know that the original rite of the Church - the Jewish or Hebrew rite is missing.

I am a Jewish Catholic and I belong to the Hebrew Catholic Association, an international organisation headed by Father Elias Friedman in Israel. We are dedicated to the re-establishment of a Hebrew-Catholic rite and community as approved by the Holy See. As Jewish memb rs of

the Church we have been alienated from our people and heritage while other Middle Eastern Catholics have been encouraged to retain their traditions and heritage. I quote the Hebrew Catholic Manifesto: "At present, the admission of the Jewish convert to the Church is governed by a regime of assimilation, which systematically ignores the specif c elements of his identity, recognised nevertheless by Vatican Counci I (Lumen Gentiurn para 16)." Jewish Catholics are assirni ated into the Gentile world and hus gain justifiably the hostil-

ity of the Jewish community. As the Manifesto states: "If all Jews were to be converted, only to be assimilated, the Jewish people would cease to exist" and thus it has "become (assimilation) the major obstacle to the admission of Jews to the Faith."

I ask your readers to pray for the success of the Hebrew Catholic movement and call on any Cathohcs of Jewish ancestr or background or other Catholics willing to help � contact me b writing to· A. Bloomer, "Dean Hill", Lot 8, Connell Avenue, Martin, 6110 WA.

Sir, Some opponents of the tertiary tax allege that this tax would breach the UN Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultura Rights in so far as this international agreement calls on signatory states to introduce free education at tertiary level. Australia ratified this Convention in 1973, but has not enacted legislaion to effect its recommendations for instance, that "primary education shall be ... available free for all" (Article 13.2.a, emphasis added). The covenant nowhere stipu ates that governments should themselves take over the provision of education at any level, or that only those who atten gov rnment institutions should be entitled to free education. It is argu bl that in develo d soc, ties Ilk ours on "a ro nat means" of ensuring n ral ucatton I support of nongovernment bodie through m ans- est a1 for t ose who att them. There rs another rs u too. The Cov nant says that " 1 h r educati n s all be m ually accessible o all, o t ba 1s of cap city . . " (13.2 c) "Capac, y" may m an the ability of t e governm nt to fmanc hi her educatio . I may also mean th p city of stud nts to profit from higher education.
