The Diocese of Charlotte granted diplomas to 1 95 graduating seniors from Bishop McGuiness High School in Winston-Salem and Charlotte Catholic High School in Charlotte. A baccalaureate Mass for 1 24 CCHS seniors was celebrated May 30 at St. Gabriel Church in Charlotte with Bishop William G. Curlin as celebrant and Father Dennis Kuhn as homilist. Another baccalaureate Mass for 7 1 seniors from Bishop McGuiness High School was celebrated June 2 at St. Leo Church in Winston-Salem with Father Joseph Kelleher as celebrant and homilist.

For some people, he said, "it is concretely impossible" to hear or accept the Christian message because of the social or cultural situations in which they live or because they have been educated in another religion. "The religions can exercise a positive influence on the destiny of those who belong to them and follow their teachings with a sincerity of spirit," the pope said. "But if the decisive action for salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit, we must take into account that the individual receives salvation only from Christ through the Holy Spirit," he said. For that reason, Pope John Paul said, the Catholic Church cannot be content simply with a dialogue with believers of other religions and with nonbelievers. It cannot act as if one religion is just as good as another. "The Church's missionary activity, carried out in

With Severe Pain

There are more than one type of electrical device that may be tried, though a TENS is the most established. These devices are also thought to increase the body's production of endorphins, our natural pain killers. Acupuncture, effective for some people, also works at least in part through the endorphins. Low doses of antidepressant medication can also help by regulating the availability of serotonin which is involved in the transmission of some pain signals through the nervous system. Although this type of medication may need to be taken over a period of days or weeks

su peregrination hacia el Senor, recibe constantemente del mfsmo el Espfritu que la reune en la fe y en la caridad, la santifica y la envfa en mision. Es en este momento cuando el soplo del Espfritu se hace sentir con mas fuerza y nos envfa, como el Padre envio a su Hijo a anunciar su eterno mensaje. Esta fiesta es el alma y la vida de todo cristiano. Somos los cristianos quienes debemos ir al mundo y proclamar las maravillas de Dios. En esta fiesta es cuando este Espfritu de Dios se manifiesta en nosotros, y por lo tanto nosotros

creo que se trate de ninguna competencia para ver quien es mas celebrado, ni mucho menos. Creo mas bien que es un justo tributo a estos hombres que con su sudor y cansancio colaboran a que el alimento llegue a las mesas de sus hogares. Ultimamente la paternidad ha sido muy desacreditada. Muchos dicen que el ser padre no tiene ningun merito. "Cualquiera puede procrear hijos", es una frase muy popular porque hay personas que dicen que no se necesita de un hombre para formar un hogar. Hasta la paternidad de Dios ha sido puesta en duda por muchos feministas radicales. Cierto es que hoy dfa vemos que a muchos hombres no les importa formar una familia y solo se interesan en la mujer como objeto sexual. Existe un creciente numero de familias en las que solo la madre es la que lleva las riendas debido a la falta del padre. Muchas son las razones para la mala reputation de la paternidad en el mundo de hoy. Pero no por eso debemos darnos por vencidos. La familia fue institufda por Dios como celula basica de la procreation, y por la sociedad como institution social.

Al lado de todos esos hombres irresponsables existe un gran numero de

hombres que dfa a dfa luchan,

se cansan

y se esfuerzan por proveer a sus familias lo necesario para vivir. Hombres ejemplares que, junto con su pareja, Uevan de la mano a sus hijos a traves del camino de la vida, les ensenan, les protegen y les aman. Estos hombres comparten penas y alegrfas, dolores gozos, y responsabilidades y satisfacciones junto

con sus esposas.

Como

hombre no solo es humana junto con la mujer, sino que su action va mas alia. padre, el

co-creador de la vida

Junto con la mujer, ellos dos son los pilares basicos de la familia, del hogar y del desarrollo de los hijos, fruto de su

amor. Estos hombres son los santos del hogar, pues tanto ellos como las madres,

han sido llamados a la santidad y la alcanzan por medio de los dolores y gozos de la vida diaria. A pesar de las cosas negativas, nosotros debemos luchar por poner la paternidad en alto, por reconocer los meritos de tantos hombres que luchan tanto por sacar adelante sus hogares. Solo por la gracia de Dios y el amor de una buena mujer puede un padre realmente triunfar en su vocation y junto

con esa misma mujer, lograr un modelo de familia donde reine la igualdad, el amor y la comprension. Gracias a Dios por los padres que estan haciendo lo mejor que pueden. Elevemos una oration por todos los padres del mundo.

debemos estar abiertos

a recibirlo y dejarlo actuar a traves de nosotros. El Espfritu tambien nos mueve a actuar con fuerza y vitalidad no solo en las

cosas de la Iglesia, sino en las de

nuestra vida diaria.
