said.
The pope made the remarks
an openair liturgy in St. Peter's Square, attended by an estimated 50,000 people. Leaning on his staff and holding the hand of an aide, he walked down several steps at the end of the Mass and addressed a special greeting to youths worldwide. He said his encyclical, "Evangelium Vitae" ("The Gospel of Life"), deserved a reading by young people. Those who do so will see that it is an invitation to accept life as a gift, he said. "It does contain stern demands: several 'noes' that are strong and necessary, which translate for our time the divine commandment, 'Do not kill,'" he said. "But the 'noes' work in relation to the great 'yes' to life. This is a 'yes' I am entrusting in a special way to you, dear young people: become the voice of this 'yes,'" he said. The pope said most young people naturally feel vibrant and full of life but this is not enough. He said it was just as important for them to understand the profound nature of life, in order to better appreciate it and love it. Before the Mass, some 30,000 olive branches were handed out to those attending, in remembrance of Jesus' triumphal entrance into Jerusalem the week before his death. The pope later blessed the crowd that was joined by several thousand people marching in Rome against the death penalty. The papal encyclical said capital punishment could only rarely be justified in modern

Margaret Mary in Swannanoa and Glenmary Father Roland Hautz, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi in Jefferson. For Father Marcaccio, the trip will be a first; Father Hautz returns to the land he loves. Both priests infuse a spiritual direction that is often missing from many mass-produced travel packages. It's a bonus to us for both Father Marcaccio and Father Hautz on board to offer spiritual direction for this fantastic tour. Farther Marcaccio' s effervescent personality and energy paired with Father Hautz' s indepth knowledge of the Holy Land are absolutely the best combination we could hope for. Nearly three years ago, I traveled to the Holy Land on a press tour sponsored by the Israel Government and El Al Airlines. When I returned to the states late in 1993, I could have boarded the next departing plane back to the Holy Land. I was so inspired by the holy sites, and the simple contemplation that any given spot could have been traveled by Jesus. Though travel to the Holy Land strikes a note of fear in many; its a fear to be dispelled. Israel is in a perpetual state of strife. Yet, on our tour, I never felt safer. I knew our tour group was under careful watch. For biblical scholars, students of history and every-

tourists, the tour offers
something for everyone.
Though
a meticulously planned itinerary includes the major locales, our priest guides reconfigured portions of the agenda to include stops at sites off the
beaten tourist path. A trip to Bethlehem included Mass in the Church of the Nativity. This wouldn't do for Father Hautz. He wants pilgrims to savor the experi-
ence of Mass in the shepherds' field. A day trip to Massada while still an option can be waived to enter catacombs Father Hautz discovered during his three-month hiatus to the Middle East. Father Marcaccio sees the trip as an opportunity to deepen spirituality while exploring some of the oldest religious ruins on earth. "Mass will be an integral part of our plans," he said. "Ample time is worked into the schedule for our own spiritual reflections. I cannot

he created her anyway. Then I thought of something else to tell her. I heard a woman preacher on T.V. one night explaining how we measure the worth of things. She pointed to her skirt and explained, "I saw this in the store and the price tag was $65. 1 looked at it and decided it was worth $65 and I bought it. She went on, "Do you know what you're worth to God? God looks at you and says, 'You are worth the life of my son. I will give the life of my son for you you're worth that much to me.'"

Los robos de objetos de arte sagrado se hallan muy extendidos en el Brasil. Durante los ultimos 20 anos, cerca de 2,340 objetos de arte sagrado fueron robados de las iglesias del estado de Minas Gerais, segun el Instituto del Patrimonio.

El futbol es un deporte muy popular para la mayoria de los hispanos ya que se juega en todo lugar y a toda hora. Fue una idea muy sabia la de crear la Inter American Soccer Association, liga de fut-bol aqui en Charlotte, donde hay tantos amantes de este deporte. Esta liga fue creada hace poco mas de 3 anos y en ella han participado mas de 15 equipos por temporada.

Todo esto cambio en un instante cuando una tarde en septiembre de 1984, el automovil en el cual viajaba a alta velocidad con su prometido, que manejaba en estado de hebriedad, se salio de la carretera y choco con un poste de luz. Cuando ella desperto dos semanas despues se entero de que nunca mas volveria a caminar, pues su medula espinal habia sido cortada en el accidente. Cuando ella recuerda el accidente, se descibe a si misma como una joven de 21 anos «inocente e ingenua». «Todo lo hice mal», dice la senorita Rodriguez, observando que ni siquiera llevaba el cinturon de seguridad puesto el di'a del accidente. Aunque disgustada por la situation, dijo ella, nunca culpo a Dios porque, al usar «mi propia voluntad libre, hice una eleccion terrible». Ella atraveso tambien por el periodo de la negation de su realidad, pidiendo a Dios que sucediera un milagro y volviera a caminar. Sus oraciones fueron contestadas con un milagro aiin mayor- el de la paz. En 1989, ella gano el concurso de Senorita en Silla de Ruedas de la Florida y al siguiente ano el de Senorita Silla de Ruedas de los Estados Unidos. Hoy, ella continua propagando el mensaje contra la conduction en estado de embiraguez entre los adolescentes, destacando especialmente que los accidentes no ocurren solamente a las personas que se estan «cayendo de borrachas», sino que solo unos cuantos tragos de alcohol pueden disminuir rapidamente la capacidad de cualquiera para conducir. los 21

World and National Briefs West's Balkans Arms Embargo Was 'Immoral,' Says Bosnian Cardinal
WASHINGTON
(CNS)
—
The
arms embargo against warring peoples in the splintered former Yugoslavia was "a very immoral act," said Cardinal Vinko Puljic of Sarajevo, BosniaHerzegovina. The embargo "makes the West an accomplice in the aggression," he added. The embargo may be lifted, but "now to talk about more weapons goes to more destruction, to complete cataclysm," he said. Rather than a lifting
of the arms embargo, he would like to see guns taken
away from combatants in
the three-sided war.
"We're not talking
about more weapons, but the taking of weapons, the protection of innocent people," the cardinal said. Cardinal Puljic, speaking through an interpreter,
was answering a question after making remarks March 30 in Washington during a forum at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
