ofPope John Paul II' s remarks in English at his weekly general audience June 5. Dear brothers and sisters, In our catechesis on the Blessed Virgin Mary we have seen that the church's conviction that Mary was preserved from original sin seemed difficult to reconcile with St. Paul's teaching that all men have sinned and thus need the grace of Christ (cf. Rom 3:23-24). Paul's teaching was strongly defended by St. Augustine, who also defended Mary's freedom from sin. But it took many centuries for the church to come to a clearer understanding and explanation of her faith in the Immaculate Conception. Blessed Duns Scotus resolved the theological problem by explaining that Mary was preserved from original sin by virtue of the redemption accomplished by Christ her son. The way

ing this special privi-

lege of the Blessed

Virgin Mary, the church shows that Christ not only frees us from sin but also preserves us

from its power, granting us the grace and strength to overcome its effects in our lives. Mary is thus seen to be the model of the holiness which all of us, with the help of Christ's grace, are called to attain. I extend a warm welcome to the members of the Focolare Movement from throughout the world present at

today's audience.

Diocesan seminarians David Brzoska, Christopher Davis, Shawn O'Neal and Frank Seabo will attend the ordinations and witness this expression of faith before they begin their summer studies in Spanish language training. I've had the good fortune of meeting members of Fidel and Arturo's families during a previous visit with them in Mexico. Fidel and Arturo bring many gifts, to minister not only to the Hispanic community but to all of us in the Diocese of Charlotte. We are blessed by their generosity and the people of our diocese look forward to their ministry among us. I hope to be able to share with you through photographs and commentary some of the festivities surrounding their ordinations, in the next edition of The Catholic News & Herald. These men came to our diocese through others' recognizing a need for priests to minister to our people. I hope you, too, will look among your family and friends,

Dm de los Padres El domingo 16 de junio es el dfa de los padres, y ese dfa recordaremos a nuestros padres, vivos y difuntos y todo el amor que le tiene a sus hijos.

Aunque ellos pueda que algunas veces no sean tan afectuosos como las manias no es por eso que quieran menos a sus hijos. No hay que pensar que tu padre est5 de mal humor o bravo cada vez que te mira tal vez con raz6n. o te habla en una forma seria. Tal vez est£ preocupado por ti Cuando te llama la atenci6n tienes que saber que lo hace por amor. El tambien puede equivocarse, pero por eso no tienes que guardarle ningun rencor. El no es solamente el hombre que facilita la casa donde vives, el alimento que comes, la ropa con que te vistes y el dinero que gastas: el es tu padre. ^Cuantas veces le has dado las gracias por todas las cosas que hace y te da? ^Le demuestras tu el amor solamente-en ocasiones especiales o todos los dfas? Aunque reciba poco, el sigue trabajando, protegiendo y dando. El se siente satisfecho con la felicidad que le da a su familia. Demuestrale el amor que le tienes el dfa de los padres y todos los dfas del ano. jFELIZ DtA DE LOS PADRES!

hacen felices porque vienen de gente que se preocupa por nosotros y que queremos. En su forma ideal, un regalo da algo de uno al otro. Yo me preocupo tanto por ti que quiero darme a ti, pero como no puedo hacer eso todo el tiempo, te doy algo que te hara recordarme. Cuando lo mires, pensaras en mf.

Asf, nuestros ofdos, nuestras piernas y todo lo nuestro empieza a ser parte de Cristo en la medida que tratamos de hacerle real en el mundo en que vivimos a traves de su presencia en nosotros. Esto, mis hermanas y hermanos, no es magia, es cooperation con la Palabra de Dios trabajando en nosotros. Todos hemos escuchado acerca de la gracia sacramental. Es la gracia que nos hace capaces de cooperar con el poder de Dios para vivir como 61 quiere. El sacramento de la Eucaristia nos da la gracia ordinaria, que es la fuerza que necesitamos para vivir todos los dfas la vocation que el Sefior nos ha dado. El Sefior nos da esta gracia cuando la pedimos y estamos abiertos a el. A veces no es facil estar abiertos a el, pero el nos promete que siempre estara con

diciendo que eso es su cuerpo. El hace algo parecido con el vino. Con nuestros regalos, intentamos compartir algo de

nosotros. Con sus regalos, Jesus perfecciona esa intention. El se da en la Eucaristia. El pan y vino no son

unicamente regalos que el deja, sino son su Cuerpo y Sangre presente entre nosotros, o sea, el cumplimiento de su promesa: Estare con ustedes todos los dfas, hasta el final de los tiempos". Sabemos que Jesus se nos hace presente en muchas formas en la '

Eucaristia. El vive entre nosotros.

Hay

dos maneras importantes en las que el se hace presente entre nosotros: una es en su palabra, la otra es en la Eucaristia.

La Eucaristia es mucho mas que pan y vino ofrecido para ser adorado. El Sefior escogio el pan y vino para hacerse presente entre nosotros porque son tan comunes, y porque son comida. No son para ser adorados desde lejos sino para ser comidos. San Juan lo pone muy claro en muchas partes de su evangelio. Jesus dice: "En verdad les digo: si no

Tambien, hermanas y hermanos, necesitamos un lugar especffico donde podamos encontrarnos con este Jesus que ha prometido estar con nosotros todos los dfas hasta el final del mundo. Una vez lef un cuento sobre una nifia que pregunto: "^Donde estd Dios?" Su madre enseguida respondio: "El esta en todas partes". La nifia contesto que no queria que Dios estuviera en todas partes, que queria que Dios estuviera en alguna parte. Yo creo que todos podemos relacionarnos con este sentimiento. Queremos que haya un lugar d6nde podamos entrar en la presencia de Dios y conocerlo personalmente. Esto, mis hermanas y hermanos, pasa en la Eucaristia. Dios no esta solamente en todas partes donde es diffcil agarrarlo, sino tambien esta concretamente en la huestro mundo. El

O' Connor, de Nueva York, anuncio el 5 de mayo que tan pronto como el ano proximo, el Papa Juan Pablo II podria declarar a Pierre Toussaint "venerable", el paso anterior a la beatificacion y la canonizacion. Nacido esclavo en Haiti en 1766, Toussaint fue

despues su libertad y llego a tener renombre por sus obras de caridad a la viuda de su amo y a otras personas. Al pronunciar la homilfa en la Misa Anual de Pierre Toussaint en la Catedral de San Patricio, el Cardenal dijo que una comision historica establecida para examinar la vida de Toussaint termino su trabajo el ano pasado, y que una comision teologica recibiria el asunto en junio. Al final de la Misa, el Cardenal O'Connor dio medallones anuales de Pierre Toussaint a Monsenor Norbert M. Dorsey, Obispo de Orlando, Florida, y a Lucien Paul, un haitiano que es ahora uno de los feligreses de Santa Maria Madre de la Iglesia en Fishkill, Nueva York. El Cardenal presento igualmente becas de Pierre Toussaint a dos alumnos de escuela secundaria. Los homenajeados son recomendados cada ano por la Oficina Arquidiocesana del Ministerio Negro. Monsenor Dorsey, que fue antes Obispo Auxiliar de Miami, fue homenajeado por su trabajo en el auxilio a los inmigrantes como Obispo, y antes de eso como sacerdote, especialmente por haber establecido un centro para prestar servicios a los haitianos en Miami.

Al reunirse el 30 de abril con obispos colombianos que estaban haciendo sus visitas "ad limina" a Roma, el Papa hablo sobre el diagnostico de su conferencia en marzo ultimo, de que su nacion "est£ moralmente enferma". El Papa estuvo de acuerdo en que la debilitation de las normas morales se halla en la base de "la propagation de las conductas de corrupci6n, injusticia y violencia, que asfixian a los cimientos mismos de la coexistencia humana". Monsenor Pedro Rubiano Saenz, Arzobispo de Bogota, presidente de la conferencia episcopal colombiana, dijo al Papa: "Como pastores, nuestros corazones estan recargados por la crisis que vive nuestro pais debido a la perdida de los valores morales que, de modo especial, es la fuente de corrupcidn y del trafico ilegal de narcoticos".

While the priests were able to get handson experience of parish life, St. Joseph church was able to maintain a generous supply of enthusiastic priests.

By the late 1960s, St. Joseph had changed from a mission of Saint John Church in Waynesville to a mission of Saint Francis Church in Franklin. On Sept. 8, 1972, St. Joseph became an independent parish. Today, the church has its own mission, Our Lady of Guadalupe in Cherokee. St. Joseph is active in the Bryson City community.

church in the area. Therefore, land was purchased on the east end of Bryson City's Main Street and construction on St. Joseph began. The church was built at a cost of $11,567.95 and was dedicated by then-Bishop Eugene McGuinness in September 1941. The church was dedicated as a mission of the Waynesville parish. At that time, St. Joseph was the only Catholic church west of Waynesville and is the oldest church in that area of North Carolina. The church building was constructed with stone from Swain County, and wood native to the area was used whenever possible. At the time of the dedication there were 20 parishioners at St. Joseph; one of those parishioners, Mrs. Hazel Colville, remains an active part of the church today. In 1955, Glenmary priests took responsibility for the parish. A nearby
