food relief program for Somalia. Bringing food cross-border from Kenya, the program aims to reach an estimated 60,000 people in Gedo and Bay districts in wartorn southwestern Somalia. "Conditions have deteriorated to such a level," said Lawrence Pezzullo, CRS Executive Director, when he announced the relief effort, "that each passing day only brings an increase in the loss of life. With this program, CRS begins an intervention that will bring much needed food across the border. It is our hope that it will help to decrease the suffering and loss of life, and reduce the necessity for people to move from their homes in search of it." The UN recently estimated that 5,000 Somalis are dying each day. In addition, as many as 4.5 million out of a total population of 6.5 million are at risk of starvation. With the lack of food and continued fighting, nearly 700,000 Somalis have sought refuge in Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and Yemen. "The currrent picture in Somalia is comparable to Ethiopia at the height of the 1984-85 famine," said Pezzullo. "Somalia is on the brink of a terrible tragedy."

There are many ways people think about God in other parts of the world. In the Monist World view, for instance, people see everything in the universe as one. Hindus and Buddhists consider all things, living and non-living, visible and invisible as external manifestations of the one world-soul they call The Brahman. Hinduism with its origins in primitive times claims over 300 million deities, with

one of our associate editors wound up serving for more than a week on the jury for a first degree murder trial. There were other problems as we went along such as my illness in the middle of preparing one issue. But with all of the troubles, we managed to muddle through. Much of the credit has to go to the folks at Mullen Publications Inc., which does our printing. We hope we did more things right than we did wrong, but we're human and we made mistakes. As we head into our second year, we're taking time to sit down and evaluate our )erformance in the past 12 months. Helping us will be the results of a survey of a :ross-section of readers. They've told us what they liked and didn't like about the irst 44 issues of the paper. Based on what they have told us, you'll see some changes in the paper in coming ssues. Some features may be dropped with new ones added. There may also be some :hanges in format and style. One new feature will begin next week. It will be a weekly series of columns limed at members and potential members of parish pastoral councils. It will be vritten by Franciscan Sister Jean Linder, director of the diocesan Office of Planning. Jhe has been actively engaged in training parish council members as part of the mplementation of the recommendations of the 1986-87 Diocesan Synod. I think ouncil members and those who are thinking about serving on such councils will find he series informative and helpful.

a grand scale. Shocked and bewildered, he left everything behind and went off on a lonely pilgrimage in pursuit of the mystery of life. After six years of wandering and meditating he concluded that all suffering is the result of selfish desire. Consequently he developed his own philosophy of life, and began teaching his followers to extinguish all selfish desires in order to achieve self-liberation. The primary purpose of Buddhism is not the worship of God but

enlightenment.

Zen Buddhism is a Japanese variation on Buddhism which did not rise to prominence until the 12th century A.D. It promotes sudden enlightenment as opposed to the traditional Buddhist idea that enlightenment could only be gained in stages over a long period of time. This sudden breakthrough is achieved by means of teaching technique involving "Koans" or riddles which lead students to a new level of intellectual discovery which awakens self-realization. "What is the Buddha?" asks the master. The student might answer "Two pounds of flax," which is a way of saying that the question itself is absurd and unanswerable. Buddhists attempt to remain detached from the mystery of life while still being immersed in it. It may be interesting to recall that when the Pope visited India thousands upon thousands of Hindus and Buddhists lined the streets to see him and pay homage to him because they consider it a blessing to look upon a holy man. Such a man is a manifestation of the Brahman no matter what religion is involved.

realize that the obligation

concerning Sunday Mass, which continues tradition going back to the earliest days of the church, is not to hear or watch someone else do something but to be there to do it oneself and share it with our fellow Catholics. The expression "go to Mass" is unfortunate but, sad to say, it probably reflects the understanding of a good number of Catholics. Except for the fact that it involves something holy, it's sort of like going to the movies or a symphony. But the Eucharist is an action, a celebration of the Catholic community shared in by all who are present. It cannot be substituted for by seeing a television program. If one cannot be present for Sunday Mass with one's parish or other community, a television or radio Mass may assist in uniting one with it in spirit or in enhancing our desire for union with Christ in the Eucharist. Such listening or viewing, however, is never a substitute for being there. The sacrament of penance is much the same. It is a personal dialogue and presence with Christ and the Catholic community on earth as represented by the priest. This personal encounter of the penitent with Jesus and His people, with the priest as their ordained representative, is essential to the sacrament.

deep joy and the conviction that He loves me and telling His deeds to others. One cannot tell what one does not know. In the same way one cannot talk about deep experience unless it happened to oneself. I love true stories and that is what I look for when I watch TV. It is your story, your own experience that counts. In telling your story your vulnerability is at stake and it needs courage to tell it. Doesn't the psalmist say, "Proclaim the good deeds of the Lord to the whole world?" This happened to me personally this June. It was dark outside. It was dark even where there were lights. It was dark because of the drug traffic at night. The murderers roam through the streets. They sell drugs and rape and kill. It is sad when you see this. It is hopeless when you try to do something and you cannot, as when you see your own child die without being able to control the death I was coming home late around midnight because of a good deed to an elderly person. Someone was lying in wait for me, perhaps for a long time and I did not know it. As I stepped up to open the gate, I found myself threatened at gunpoint. The person demanded money and he intended to violate and to kill my young companion and me. Money at the time was meaningless to me. All I cared for was our safety. How could I defend her and myself against violation and death? The dignity of a human being violated? Unthinkable! "God if you are with me, show your face; my enemy is now at my side.

Penance and the forgiveness of

sins are at the center

of the preaching of Jesus. From earliest times the concept of conversion was given precedence in the Church. In the

Church there were three capital sins: idolatry, murder and adultery. From the 4th to 6th centuries ecclesiastical penances were required for mortal sins only. The gravity of a sin depended on the person's conscience. The principal purpose of public penance was used to enlist the support of the faithful. Public penances were so demanding and humiliating that a great number of Christians lived in a permanent state of ecclesiastical delinquency until they were dying. The concept of one penance and one conversion for a lifetime was prevalent as a means of preparing for death. Realizing especially that only the bishop had the power to exercise the sacrament of penance in the early Church. By the Middle Ages, canonical penance reached a dead end because of the rigidity of its practices and procedures. It was a preparation for death. Then the private penance of the Celtic Church had a triumphant migration to Europe. This penance could be repeated, was always available, confession was made to any priest. The spirit of the Irish penitentials is often described as healing or medicinal and was intended to cure vices by applying the contrary virtues. The confessor was to take circumstance into account. Tariffed penance grew and changed to donations of money, pilgrimages (refer to the Canterbury Tales and the pilgrims' stories), primitive

Abortion Dialogue With

a 20-year-old in the Catholic

Church,

find myself caught

between

the lively, carefree attitude of a teenager

and the responsible, serious

attitude of an adult. Since the qualities of these two seem to differ so greatly, I can see how a communication gap can form between them, creating confusion on both ends. This communication gap is seen in the morals and values of the Catholic Church, specifically to abortion. Living in the middle of the two worlds, I have seen the parents who fall into the "not my kid" trap, assuming their children already know, understand and uphold Catholic teachings at all times. Then there are the teens of the Church. Inexperienced in making major decisions for themselves, some teens

would

trade in their Catholic morals to avoid the fear of telling their parents of a pregnancy. This is where the problem lies; lack of communication. If both the teens and the adults are aware of it, it can be

stopped. However, this takes responsi-

on both sides. Open, non-judgemental communication can alleviate a spur of the moment decision. A teenage abortion to avoid parental conflict is wrong. So is parenting by intimidation. Parents, it might help if you would talk to your teenagers about abortion and let them know how you feel. Make bility

However, neither they nor the Schools Office knew what the rates would be. As it turned out, they were higher than many had anticipated. Yearly tuition and fees at K-8 schools rose to $2,070 from a range of $ 1 ,605 to $1,775 per child, depending upon the school. (The elementary rates include tuition at $1,920 and book and activity fees at $150.) High school tuition increased to $3,342 a year from $2,930. In addition, each family bill included

The very term "Eastern churches" suggests a subtle Western bias. It implies that these churches are a sort of deviation from the norm. Actually, all the original churches were Eastern. It was only gradually that Christianity moved westward and, when it did, it was spread by missionaries from the East. The great Christian centers of the

New

Testament were Jerusalem and

Antioch. Jerusalem was the mother church, but when it fell to the Romans in 70 A.D., its central position was lost. Many of its members made their way to

"Out of sight, out of mind": For Catholics in the West, that is just about what the amounted to for a long time when it came to Catholics of the Eastern rites. Today, however, Eastern Catholics are no longer "out of sight." They reside in the world's most troubled regions and its most rapidly changing territories. Their leaders tend to show up on our TV screens. There was Patriarch Raphael Bidawid of Iraq, for example, whose voice frequently was heard during the Persian Gulf War. He warned that "the problems raised by the war are far greater than those it has resolved." But what was he the patriarch of? Of the Chaldean rite, an Eastern rite in full union with Rome. Then there are the Catholics of Ukraine. Millions of them are members of the Byzantine rite in union with Rome. Their currently troubled relationship with the I region's Orthodox Christians means Ukrainian Catholics now are never far from mind in the Western church. Again, to speak of Eastern Catholics is to speak of Byzantine-rite Catholics in Romania or in the Holy Land, regions constantly in the news.

munity at Antioch. (Antioch much later would become one of the four leading Orthodox Church patriarchates, along with Jerusalem, Constantinople and Alexandria.) With the rise of Constantinople to political prominence as the center of Roman imperial power, that city became a dominant center for Eastern Christianity. The political rivalry between Constantinople and Rome

evolved gradually into a religious tugof-war between Eastern and Western Christianity. The story of the struggle is long, complex and sad. It came to a head in 1054 when the bishops of Rome and

diverse universal church

Luke gives us an account of the founding of the Antioch church in Acts. The

martyrdom

of Stephen in Jerusalem sparked a rather general persecution of people who shared his views. When they got to Antioch they first preached only to Jews but eventually to gentiles

as well. The result was a multiethnic church, a model for future foundations. Luke gives the interesting information that it was here that the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). And the term "catholic (universal) church" appears first in the writings of Ignatius of Antioch. It is rather generally agreed that Paul's account of the institution of the Eucharist (1 Corinthians 11:23-25) reflects the liturgical practice of the com-

and liturgical rites. But visiting the New Testament communities today, one would have a hard time finding churches of this sort. Oh, they are there, and vibrant, but with all the changes wrought by religious and political history, especially tions

the rise of Islam, they are definitely a minority. Even Paul would have difficulty finding his

In the twinkling of n eye, we both rushed into the house, still unable to close the door because of the trength of the invader. Yet, somehow he could not use his gun and carry out his evil "itent. He fled at the threat of the coming police. What can I say but: "I will bless you O God at all times, your praise always on ly lips. My soul makes its boast in you.

principal de la convencion titulada

"Congreso Hispano de 1992: Raices y Alas" advirtio a su auditorio el 13 de agosto que una imagen pobre de uno mismo que se derive de la pobreza puede socavar a las esperanzas de una persona para

el futuro.

La pobreza "puede hacerle sentir a uno que no vale nada, que no tiene lo que se necesita para ser un dirigente o un profesional", dijo el sacerdote, que es el superior general de su orden.

complacia el que los dirigentes hispanos se hubieran reunido "para organizarse con vista al servicio en la Iglesia". El agrego que a los catolicos hispanos se les conoce por "su amor y lealtad profunda a la Iglesia, aun cuando los defectos y las limitaciones humanas de la misma" sean evidentes. El Cardenal Mahony hizo notar que la entidad auspiciadora de la reunion, el Consejo Catolico Nacional para el Ministerio Hispano, habfa "adoptado medidas para asegurar" que trabajaria en contacto estrecho con los Obispos estadounidenses. "Ustedes no estan esperando que nosotros, los Obispos, actuemos. Ustedes estan tomando y compartiendo la responsabilidad por la Iglesia a la que tanto aman", dijo el Cardenal. Precisando el foco de la reunion sobre la evangelizacion, el Cardenal dijo que esta significa "el hacer del compromiso de cada uno para con Cristo aun mas personal y real", pero yendo despues mas alia de eso "hacia la transformation del mundo". El Cardenal agrego que los temas del Congreso, la "nueva evangelizacion", la familia y la

Pues vivimos en una sociedad donde se nos pega rapidamente, todo lo malo de los demas y donde podemos ofender a los otros sin darnos cuenta, llevados unicamente por el amor propio o el egoi'smo, o el querer ser lo que no somos. Es verdad que en "el Padre Nuestro" le pedimos a Dios que nos libre de nuestros enemigos, pero tenemos que ser conscientes de que se trata de las fuerzas negativas que nos asedian diariamente y no de personas o seres
