Dear Friends in Christ:
More than ever, the Church is being called upon to minister to those in need. Our Holy Father labors day after day to bring the presence of our Redeeming Lord to those who hunger for Him. He carries out his ministry willingly and lovingly, but he cannot do it alone. He depends on us to assist him with the financial burdens that come as a result of his extraordinary efforts.
Through his unique mission of pastoral care and evangelization, John Paul II brings the message of God's love and care to people ithroughout the world. He is one of the world's foremost leaders and a strong moral voice for the dignity of the individual and the blessings 3f freedom. The Holy Father must, of necessity, look to us here in the United States, where we are so abundantly blessed, for support and encouragement in his mission. This year, the annual Holy Father (Peter's Pence) Collection will be taken in all parishes of the Diocese on the weekend of June 26-27. iyou

Throughout his service to the Church, Pope John Paul II has been especially dedicated to the young people of the Church. In 1985, he established World Youth Day, a biennial gathering of young people from around the world to worship and focus on their role in the Church. In August, thousands of young people from, 70 countries will gather in Denver for World Youth Day, the first to be held in the United States. The Holy Father also has infused the Church with a new zeal for evangelization. Speaking to Latin American bishops last October in Santo Domingo, he charged the Church to develop "an evangelization new in its ardor ... an irrepressible enthusiasm for the task of announcing the Gospel."

me." From the wounded side, from the pierced heart, flowed living water. So water is the symbol of life, of God's life and loving intervention. It tells of salvation and the blessings of God. In the Old Testament, water was a sign of God's favor. The prophet Ezekiel mentioned that life-giving water came from the temple. Jesus refers to His body as the Temple of God, and from this temple would then come living water, and so, life. In the Book of Exodus, water comes from the rock which God commanded Moses to strike. Jesus is also the Rock, and when struck, when pierced by the in
soldier's lance, living water flows forth.
The early writers of the Church saw in the opening of the side of Jesus, the opening of His heart, the birth of the Church. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is, therefore, a rich symbol of the love of God. It is a rich sign of that love which is recognized today in the devotion that is encouraged to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Devotion to Jesus Christ, symbolized by His Sacred Heart challenges us to respond to that love of God. Let us go to Jesus and find in His loving gentleness the refuge and comfort that we seek, the healing that we need. Let us find in Him and through our devotion a source of grace and of God's life in us, of love and of the Holy Spirit, enabling us to be truly God's children. In the opening prayer of the Mass for this solemnity we ask that God, our Father, will open our hearts to share His life and to continue to bless us with His love. Msgr. John J.

How Does Canon Law Affect Us? Health Concerns About Receiving

on a regular basis to request their latest advisories concerning the possible health risks associated with drinking from a common communion cup. Each time the CDC, while not ruling out the fact that there are some risks involved in the practice of drinking from a common cup, has stated that with proper precautions (such as wiping both sides of the rim of the chalice after each communicant has received the Precious Blood) such risks are greatly reduced. The CDC has also responded that there is no clinical evidence that life-threatening pathogens such as the HIV virus have been transmitted through the Precious Blood. The CDC has not recommended to the Catholic Church that it abandon the practice of drinking from the cup because of these risks. The 1985 statement of the bishops' Committee on the Liturgy noted that the restoration of the fuller sign of holy Communion under both forms, in obedience to the command of the Lord to "take, and eat" and "take, and drink," outweighs the risk that drinking from the same communion cup poses. Nevertheless, it counsels that the communicants should use good common sense and not drink from the communion cup when they are more susceptible of being infected or of infecting others even with

concern of the people regarding this topic justified its inclusion in this series. Further, the Code of Canon Law states that Liturgical Law presents norms and guidelines for the liturgical life of the Church. The National Conference of Catholic Bishops, Committee on the Liturgy, in May 1 993 published the answer to the questions concerning potential health hazards associated with the practice of Communion under both kinds (bread and wine). This held to the directives of Nov. 10, 1985. Contained in the 1985 statement were the basic theological and liturgical principles which needed to be taken into consideration when the issue of Communion under both kinds and health concerns was raised.

"Here I am, Lord, send me..." The refrain of that hymn lingered with me as I approached a CSS staff person seeking a one-on-one volunteer opportunity. Oh yes, I had a few mental reservations, one of which was "nothing to do with AIDS." I had just returned from a Cursillo, significantly encountered Christ, and was now trying to figure out what God wanted of me. The staff person heard of my real interest in "the poorest of the poor". Together we agreed I would do a mini-survey of an area that I was already familiar with because of my work. The idea behind the survey was that CSS could probably assist with some of the needs that might surface, and that I could identify some one or some family with whom I could just begin to "hang out," get to know, and hopefully accompany on their journey. On my second day in the neighborhood, a woman responded to my knock, invited me in and offered me a seat. There was trash everywhere. The woman lived alone, except for her bird and two dogs. She was not feeling well. I began talking and we hit it off immediately. We were the same age, 51, and were born in the same month. However, the other woman looked at least 10 years older. She was quite a lady and had a great attitude toward life. As we talked, she told me that she had AIDS. My immediate reaction was to leave Within my mind, as she continued to talk, I was asking "God, what about Your part of the bargain? I said I would do something for You, but You certainly knew that I was not up to being in the same room with someone with AIDS." Then I began to focus back on the woman. Sitting there looking at her unclean surroundings, I found myself thinking, "What if this person was Christ?" and the Cursillo message, "For some people the only Bible they might read will be you..." Even with all that motivation, there were many visits before I could hug her. But, I hung in, and she began to come to Church with me. Over a period of time, I found out that she had been an alcohol and drug addict. I met one of her friends, who had been in jail because of drug use; he cleaned up her apartment while all I could do was visit and fill some of her material needs. In getting to know this woman, I found someone who had made peace with life and with her Maker. She had long before accepted responsibility for contracting AIDS through her addiction and that she might eventually die from it. She is not angry at God or the woman who gave her the contaminated needle. Many of us stay !

Fearing that the order we have given to things is fragile, we try all the harder to maintain that order by fitting people, ideas and world events into it. In other words, we don't know what to do with truck drivers who read poetry or fundamentalist Christians advocating social-services programs. The antidote to stereotyping is allowing the other to be exactly that, other. That means recognizing that there is much in this world that will not make sense to us, will not fit into the neatly defined order or scheme of things that we have worked so hard to
control over things through the order the purpose of that control is to eliminate the element of surprise to keep our lives predictable and manageable.

Rather than always seeking to cram "otherness" into our pre-existing categories, we might try to attend to it respectfully on its own terms. This should be easy for Christians. For we know God's ways are not always our

—
that God is in many ways quite "other." We see that God often works in ways we least expect. After all, God made a great nation from the offspring of one old man named Abraham; God liberated slaves from powerful pharaohs; God called upon a Jewish teenager to become the Lord's mother.

events, helpful actions, fresh insights that God works. Thus Christians have learned to trust surprises. In other words, learning to welcome surprises and to let go of surveillance and control is a step toward overcoming the need to stereotype. Learning to live by surprises, it seems to me, is at the heart of the Gospel message.
