the pilgrimage, the fifth such trip for the

Diocese of Charlotte.

"This is not just a sightseeing tour," says Msgr. Wellein. "It's a holy pilgrimage, a grace-filled time of prayer, sacrifice and retreat." Sightseeing will be included. However, it is not the primary purpose, he said.

Holy pilgrimages take their cue from the Middle Ages, a time when it was not unusual for people to walk and beg their way across Europe to visit holy places.

Pilgrims back then threw themselves on the mercy and kindness of fellow Christians and were often taken in by monasteries.

have mixed feelings about the proposed changes in the Mass.

I can see the reasoning behind the proposals. I know there are some who object to what they perceive as "sexist" language in the Nicene Creed and I can accept the need to eliminate anything that ~i 1 might tend to alienate some Catholics. I also note that the "„„ Hi committee drafting the changes has found that a change from "man" to "human" is more faithful to the original Greek.

The proposed changes in the memorial acclamation following the consecration also appear sensible. I think all of us at one time or another have been unsure which one of the four possible acclamations is to be used.

Anything that would eliminate the chance of confusion seems to me to be all to the good.

I'm not so sure about the proposed changes in the Our Father. I know that some the words now used such as "who art" and "thy" are archaic. But their meaning 11 seems clear and people are accustomed to them. I must admit that I go along with I

The news came as something of a surprise. My mother was pleased, but I don't think my dad was too enthusiastic. His hesitation soon changed, and he quickly became my strongest supporter. The seminary years were difficult, which made my ordination even more wonderful.

I remembered the many times my Dad received Holy Communion from my hand. He was a man of faith; it was a simple faith that never wavered. Whenever I offered Mass at home, at the elevation of the Host, he would always lower his eyes

Q. Some months ago you published a column about "When the Mass Was in Latin." With all your jargon you did not mention a single word as to the real reason why the Mass was in Latin. No one who presents himself as an authority on the Catholic faith with a question and answer column could possibly be unaware of the fact that the "dead," and therefore unchanging, Latin language was deliberately adopted so that the Church's dogma would be uniformly interpreted around the world, so that the words of Christ would remain free from the vagaries of local semantic influence and trendy philosophical interpretation. You know this. It demands further response from your office.

The Church is not some arbitrary Itrivance of the clergy or a social club, but the community of faith established by list as an instrument of salvation in the world.

In the West, as distinct from the Eastern or Oriental churches, almost anyone who could read and write at all knew Latin. It was the language of commerce and most social intercourse. This is why, in the third century, and perhaps most significantly under the influence of Pope Damasus, Latin gradually became the language most commonly used by the Church, even in the liturgy.

With the dissolution of the Roman Empire in the fifth century and after, local cultures and languages in both southern and northern Europe began to predominate until eventually Latin itself became a dead language.

Stewardship Questions And Answers

By FATHER. CHRISTIAN CARR DON'T YOU DARE READ THIS. ..unless, or course, you're the curious type.

Question: Who can become a sister, a brother or a priest in a religious community

What

When considering

(an "Order")?

Answer: Any Catholic motivated by the right intention, and with the qualities required by Church law and the law of the religious institute concerned. To express all that in one word: "Vocation." But who decides if you have a vocation? Well, you and the authorities of the institute to which you apply. Simple enough, eh?

Note, please, what the 1983 Code of Canon Law says, right to the point: "Some of Christ's faithful are especially called by God to this religious state, so that they may benefit from that special gift in the life of the Church, and contribute to her saving mission according to the purpose and spirit of each institute" (c. 574).

own life. Who more obedient?

More chaste? Poorer? One's fidelity to the vows greatly facilitates personal sanctity and availability to serve others.

O.K. Now let's take a quick glance at what the Code of Canon Law teaches and legislates with regard to these precious means to work against our inordinate human tendencies toward selfishness and sinfulness.

The vowed counsels are difficult? Yes and no. St. Augustine put it neatly: "Where there is love, there is no labor. Or if there is labor, it is a labor of love."

In a life committed to stewardship, the giving of our time, talent and treasu mainly involves a change of attitude about our giving. It is important to think in terr of how blessed we are, and of using our gifts and talents for the good of others. Tl! best way to give thanks for the priceless gifts we have is to give generously in retui The third difference that stewardship can make in our lives is found in the resi of our giving. As we practice stewardship, we find that we grow spiritually and our faith is deepened. Christian stewardship provides a spirituality that we can ta home from church, exercise at work, and express through person involvement inIt community and church.

As we grow in our spiritual lives, we begin to develop a greater sense of tn in God. When we choose to give back to God from our "first fruits," we learn to tn!

God with our needs and those of our loved ones. For example, if we give accordii to the biblical tithe, 10 percent of our income, we tend to take better care of the 90 which is left for our personal needs and those of our loved ones.

The impact of this change of attitude results in a loosening of our grip, or 0 tight-fistedness, that might keep us from giving freely of our time, talent a treasure. That letting go results in a deepening sense of that trust in God. By letti go and seeing that God truly does provide for us, we are better able to serve G through the many gifts and talents that He has given us.

The difference that stewardship can make in your life is not related to giving your time, talent and treasure until it hurts, it is about giving until you feel good abc what you have given.

|om that point forward.

David Gibson, Editor, Faith Alive!

Recovering trust requires three key ingredients: reconciliation, renewed commitment to honesty and time.

The person who has

lied

must make

a clean breast of the offense and promise to be forthcoming in the future. This reconciliation allows the layers of trust to begin rebuilding. In time, the hurting party will trust again.

Honesty is more than not lying; it's an absence of manipulation. Sometimes we play deception games to get our way, or we blame others instead of accepting responsibility. Sometimes we take on the martyr role to make others feel guilty. These manipulative tactics lead to falseness and shallow relationships.

A little kindness also is required.

Sometimes we use "brutal honesty" to be malicious and hurtful. Kindness calls

us to say what needs to be said in ways sensitive to others' feelings.

Dennis loves his wife and family; no question. Yet his deceit compromised his personal and family integrity. While not a big deal by itself, it's easy to slip into a pattern of "little white lies" and manipulations to make things go our

way.

Meanwhile, others pay the price, and we slowly alienate ourselves from the ones we love.

la Iglesia

Por PADRE SILL RUEDA corazon juvenil hay esa misma fuerza pujante y fecunda que transforma los aridos troncos en maravillosos jardines de flores y frutos al llegar la primavera y alii mismo esta el valor y el esfuerzo escondido para todas las luchas del camino.

El corazon del joven es valiente no se cansa. Esta lleno de optimismo y de suenos por realizar. Es una caja de sorpresas. Por eso la juventud es y tiene que seguir siendo la primavera de la Iglesia.

Alguien decia que "la juventud no se hizo para el placer sino para el heroi'smo" y quien no se lanza mar adentro nada sabe del azul de las aguas ni del vaiven de las olas. Nada sabe de las noches estrelladas y tranquilas cuando el navio avanza dejando una estela de silencio. Nada sabe de la brisa en calma o de la aventura que se avecina...

Desventurados aquellos jovenes que se quedan en la orilla y solo ponen toda su esperanza en tierra firme, sin aventurarse a hacer camino. En la vida todos los dfas hay que ir haciendo camino. La juventud es para eso, para ir abriendo nuevos

que otros por ellos caminen.

La juventud es una etapa maravillosa de la vida que hay que saberla disfrutar y aprovecharse al maximo de ella. Los jovenes son los constructores del manana, los artifices de una nueva sociedad y de una nueva Iglesia. Por eso hay una necesidad urgente de mostrar al mundo un rostro juvenil de Cristo, una Iglesia nueva llena de optimismo y de comprension, una Iglesia que nos se comprometa con ningun poderio humano y que este de parte de los pobres y de los debiles y de los que no pueden hablar por si mismos, una Iglesia que tenga un corazon y una mente joven para pensar y actuar.

La juventud es un periodo de la vida, pero tambien es una circunstancia, un florecer y un renacer de nuevo, porque se puede estar maduro de anos, pero joven de espiritu e ideas. La juventud es pues el motor de la vida, la vela que se incha de viento para desafiar la tormenta. La que avanza serena y tranquila en medio del mar encrespado de la vida. De ahi la importancia de la education de los jovenes, de darles buen ejemplo, de preocuparse por integrarlos mas a la Iglesia y a la sociedad con programas culturales y religiosos amenos y llamativos. Lo propio de la juventud es el valor y el arriesgarse a todo, el ser realmente primavera todo el ano y el estar llena de frutos buenos y abundantes. surcos, para

Parents and all family members are the first teachers of the Faith. By word and witness the family community passes on the attitudes, values and practices which form and support the faith life of the members. A healthy family life is essential for human and spiritual development.

In a special way the family is called to be a community of prayer in which each member grows spiritually and is strengthened in the religious life.

The Christian family unit also has a responsibility toward others. By concern for the well-being of the less fortunate, extending hospitality and making sacrifice for others, the family witnesses to and develops essential Christian values.

At Mercy Hospitals, high technology is always handled with care.

High-powered magnets help us visualize parts of your body. Lasers and tiny scopes dramatically change the ways we do surgery. New medications and techniques bring newfound hope for recovery.

Yet in the face of all this progress, our mission remains intact. Caring for the whole person, we comfort as we heal. We celebrate joy with hundreds of new families, and guide them through the miracle of new life. And to people like the parents of Joshua Smith, that's the greatest wonder of all.
