Synodal Council Completes Priesthood Prospectus ROME (NC)-A document on priesthood for ,the 1971 Synod .of Bishops has been prepared by an ad hoc commission appointed by the Holy See last November.

The commission, which includes theologians, .Vatican officials. pastors and one layman, drafted the document early in December availing itself of material put together the previous month by the Holy See's International Theological Commission.

The ad hoc commission's December draft was in turn revised in January by the council of biShOPS of the synod's permanent secretariat in January.

The priestly ministry, its problems and its function· in the Church today will be one of the principal themes of study for the

the

synod this Fall. Numerous study papers have been prepared by various bishops' various conferences on the sUb.iect as well as by the synod's council of bishops and various university faculties.

Since the January meeting of t.he synodal council was to be its final nleeting before the opening of the synod itself, its document on the priestly ministry is regarded as the final dr:aft.

That however does not rule out eventual alterations by the Pope or his principal aides.

'Among the members of the ael hoc commission were Archbishop Pietro Palazzini and U. S. Holy Cross Father Edward Heston, secretaries, respectively of the Congregation for the Clergy and the Congregation for ReliTurn to Page Eighteen

Francois' Action Avoids Further Violence in Spain

o

MADRID (NC)-The commutation of the death sentences of six Basque separatists by Franco has removed the fear in the minds of many Spaniards that the country would be, hit by a wave of violence and repressive retaliation.

In addition, Franco's move gave hope to Spanish moderates seeking further: liberalization in the government's policies.

After Franco spared the lives of the six Basques convicted on charges of murdering a police chief and other terrorist activities, the apostolic nuncio to Spain said' that "life in Spain has been brightened by the light of peace and mercy."

The nuncio, Archbishop Luigi Dadaglio, had appealed for clemency for the Basques. He said that Pope Paul shared the "deep emotion and satisfaction" of Spaniards that the Basques' lives had been spared.

The six Basques will now serve 30-year prison sentences. ' Nine others, including two priests and two women, received prison terms totaling 351 years from a military court in Burgos.

One woman was acquitted.

Basque separatists seeking greater autonomy or outright independence for their region have become more militant in recent years and sometimes have used violence in an attempt to achieve their goals.

The Basques have claimed that the Franco government is trying to suppress their language and customs.

News of Franco's decision to commute the death sentences prompted crowds to fill the streets and bars and restaurants throughout Spain.

Radio, television and newspapers gave full coverage to the holiday atmosphere and to messages from all sources, including left-wing groups, congratulating Franco and the Basques.

The Catholic daily" Ya said that Spain "has passed an acid test with flying colors and now enters 1971 with a sky cleared of dark clouds."

Nicaragua Regime Deports Professor

Actors Urge Fight on- ,Pornography' IVin'e Street Just a Dirt Road Again l HOLLYWOOD (NC) - Prayer, picketing and prosecution are good ways to fight pornography, actor Pat Boone told a news conference here.

Boone urged a "grassroots spiritual militancy" against the spread of pornography.

Boycotts, he said, should be used to combat the ~ren~l. He also advocates housewive~' pickneighborhood, theaters eting showing obscene movies.

The press conference, which, also featured retired actor Richard Arlen and Raymond Grauer, former chairman of the Los Angeles County Commission on Obscenity and Pornography, was called by the Hollywood Community Against Pornography.

Organized by presidents of local businessmen's clubs" it includes church and civic groups.

Boone, Alen and Grauer agreed ' that pornography is "making a slum out of Hollywood, causing not only moral, but economic decay."

"It is no place you can bring visitors," , said Arlen, a star of the old-time film "Wings." .Reminiscing, he said that when he first came to Hollywood, Vine Street "was just a dirt road."

"It's just a dirt road again," remarked Grauer, citing the rise in obscene movies, bars featuring nude male and female entertainment and book stores selling pornographic literature..

Arlen, who now heads the local commission against pornography, complained that pornograp'hic materials are being made available to school children.

Support Family Movies Spokesmen for the Hollywood Community Against Pornography said they are circulating

petitions supporting all enforcement of anti-obscenity laws. The group also 'praised landlords who refuse to lease their property for "sexploitation" purposes.

Asked if the motion picture industry had added to the increase in pornography, Boone said: "Hollywood has contributed to the serious moral decay that encourages open pornogra-

phy."

He said, however, that many family movies are not being supported at the box office.

Urging public support for such films, he said: "Take your family to a family movie when it shows in your neighborhood theatre. By the same token, overcome your curiosity and, do not patronize. pornographic' movies."

MANAGUA (NC) - A Jesuit professor at th~ Catholic University here was deported after being charged by the Interior Ministry with incitin'g a student riot that resulted in damage to the school's library.

Interior Minister Mariano Buitrago said that the teacher, Spanish-born Father Jose Antonio Sanjines. admitted that he supported the student demonstration that preceded the riot. '

Our Work for G o d ' " The poet, playwright and essayist, W. :. Audun, recently wrote a, single sentence filled with 1m,e,aning and worthy of reflection. He wrote th~t there is~ ',~ind ,of polytheism <?n ea,rth that expe.cts, G9d:lto 'do for us what we are supposed to do for Him." ", ", Perl1aps,,-this: is why· some-persons are disillusioned with God-and religion. They turn to'God in the final scene of the last act of some tragic episode in th~ir own lives and of their own making. After having: madb judgements and decisions quite ~patt from God and religidus standards, they se~ ·th.~ <;:onfusion th~t. is ~heirsatld won~er why God does n<;>t th,en, step in .~ng imme;diately mak~ it all right.

And if He d'oes 'not do ,this, th~n they proclaim that God and religion are not relevant in their lives.

It is hoped that, other parochial schools will be able to absorb at least some of the children from the three schools ,that wil.l close.' , On Monday evening'the school board of St. Patrick's school in Fall River voted unanimously to operate the school for the 197172 academic year. Walter E. Woods of the school board said that parishioners agreed to a higher tuition rate-$100 per pupil from parents as contrasted to' $75 now paid-as a step toward trying to keep the school open and meeting its financial obligations. The pastor of St. Patrick's, Rev. Msgr. John E. Boyd, must ratify the school board action since the parish must supply significant additional funds to keep the school open.

Parents of children attending the Cathedral school in Fall River were also notified that the school would remain open for the 1971-72 academic year.

The range of reactions is extreme, and spreads from "Alarmists" to "Spartans."

Prelates Demand Full Freedom ..

Of . Religion . ,

WA~SA W (NC)-Full freedom for' their beliefs and their religious institutions has been asked for Polish Catholics by - the Polish primate, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski. " In a pastoral letter that the nation's bishop joined him in signing, Cardinal Wysznski looked back on last month's food price riots in the Polish coastal cities 'and thendemail.ded a new policy -on religion by Polanc;l's communist rulers. .

In phrase~ directed toward the regime of Edward Gierek, which took over from tt,e Wladislaw Gomulka group on Dec. 20, the cardinal called for "the right to freedom of conscience and freedom of religion and full normalization of rela~ion's between church and state."

He ~also asked for "the right to ·the free ~haping of the culture of the nation, in accordance with the spirit of Christian principles, the right to the truth ... to information in accordance with the truth and free expression of one's views and demands, the right ... to a proper standard of living."

About the upheavals, he commented: "The experiences were painful.

We witnessed struggles which harmed our countrymen: Together with the. Holy Fatl;1er, we are full of compassion for the families and for the people who suffered .heavy losses. In our prayers we" commend to God all those \vho died...· .

In its first policy declaration to the Polish parliament the Gierek leadership, through Prime Minister -Piotr Jaroszewicz,' had expressec;l .its intention ,of. seeking church-state' normaii~ation, without elaborating -uppn that point. .:. -The letter of Cardi'nal 'Wys~y­ ski' arid his fellow bishops was reported to have been adopted at a meeting of the episcopate on Dec. 29. The' reference to Pope· Paul VI was to a Christmas message sent to the cardinal in which the' Pope call~d for peaceful solutions to Poland's problems, saying he had "great alarm" about the fate of the people here, Card,inal'Wyszynskihad spoken out about the riots in a Christmas IYIass sermon, calling for conciliatory attitudes by Poland's workers; asking them to produce'more to solve the country's. food problems, and proposing that all Poles, himself included, accept the blame for the bloodshed.

The jornt letter, read in all Polish churches" was critical, however, of the way. the riots were handled, It stated: "Application of means of suppression' is notcOilductive to maintaining peace in social life, especially if it does not. spare the innocent, and even women and children,"

Theology Advances' In Latin America I

WASHINGTON (NC)-Theology in Latin America is moving ahead of theology in' the United States, several speakers from both continents agreed during the Catholic Inter-American Cooperation Program annual meeting here.

The new "theology of liberation" being expounded in Latin America is " theology of the signs of the times in a double dimension - intellectual (reflection and commitment to action," said Father Gustavo Perez Ramirez of Columbia: ,"North ' American, audiences are' startled when they see South American theologians' using so much· political science, economics, and social ethics," said the Rev. William Wipfler of the Latin American department of the National Council of Churches, "Here the emphasis is on all that's been written about theol-' ogy down through the ages, while in Latin America the emphasis is on the present with an eye toward the future." .

Says Repression Helps Religion In Russia

t

LONDON (NC)-The "essential dilemma of Soviet atheism" is the persecution of religion tends to increase the number of believers, a report published here said.

There are probably more t1'\an three million active Roman Catholics in the Soviet Union today, according to the report, "Religious Minorities in the Soviet Union 1960-1970."

The report is the first to be issued by a newly formed minority Rights Group, which is investigating the position of "persecuted or disadvantaged minorities" in various parts of the world.

Directors of the group is a South African opponent of apartheid, (strict racial segregation), Laurance Gandar, former editorin-chief of the Rand Daily Mail of Johannesburg. The survey is the work of Anglican Father Michael Bourdeaux, director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Communism, and two associates, Miss Kathleen Matchett and Miss Cornelia Gerstenmaier.

Father Bourdeaux is a research fellow of the London School of Economics, which is part of London University.

Catholics Persecuted The section of the report dealing with Soviet Catholics said Catholics are persecuted not only for their religious steadfastness but for their international connections. Soviet authorities also associate them to some extent with'separatist elements among the Ukrainians;' Byelorussians, Latvians and Lithuanians. Lithuanians make up the main body of Catholics within the Soviet Union.

The Catholic' Church has not been able to restore a central leadership since the Russian Revolution, the report said.

The only Catholic dioceses functioning are in Latvia and Lithuania, the report said. It noted that outside the Baltic state and the West Ukraine only four Catholic churches are' open.

Churches Closed .

In Lithuania, once strongly Catholic, no Religious houses or journals now exist. Nearly half the Churches have been ',closed and the number of priests has fallen from 1,480 in 1940 (when the Soviet Union invaded) to 864 in 1967. Lithuania has four bishops and one seminary remaining out of four.

The report said that in Dec., 1968, priests of the diocese of Vilkaviskis sent a petition to the bishop complaining 'that: "Those wishing to. enter the seminary are dissuaded. Many are forbidden outright to enter it without explanation."

Reprisals were taken against the signatories, the report said.

"Some were dismissed from their posts or forcibly transferred.

Others were imprisoned or sentenced in secret trials."

churches in the area," he said recently. "The expansion we've done over the years has been for greater facility of service."

The service that Father Lawtori describes is far ranging and encompasses many areas of spiritual growth. .

Eight weekends during the year are reserved for the very popular Cursillos. Men's and women's Cursillos "little courses in Christianity" - are held separately on, alternate months.'

Father Lawton, who is principal spiritual director of Cursillos at the house, says that there are so many applicants each year for Cursillos, "we are simply snowed under." '

Father Thomas Lawton

By DOROTHY EASTMAN When Father Thomas Lawton became the director of the newly formed Holy Cross Fathers Retreat House, the building on the Stonehill ColIege campus in . North Easton had overnight facilities for only 13 people.

Now, seven years later, that once small building has grown several wings and has very comfortable accommodations for 65 people.

The Retreat House sits in the heart of a complex of white buildings that look very much as if they might have once been part of a farm, and .indeed they were.

In fact, they were once part of the Ames Estate that graced the North Easton countryside just off route 138.

In 1935, when the Holy Cross 'order bought the' property on which they eventualIy built Stonehill ColIege and Holy Cross Seminary, there was a cowbarn, an airfield, hangar and estate house. The estate house is now the administration bUildi~g of the colIege.

The barn was converted, into a residence for a. Holy Cross' mission band tnat later moved to Dartmouth. The converted barn then became seminary, adding a 'Quonset hut here and there. The seminarians put in many hours of hammering, sawing, painting and plastering until the former barn was transformed into a very comfortable and attractive edifice.

With much loying work the hayloft was made into a chapel and the original wooden beams that adorn the ceiling attest to its former use. The Quonset huts are long gone and hllve been replaced with large extensions of the main building.

Unlike many retreat houses, the center does a great deal of work in the area of one day and one evening retreats for parish groups, Knights of Columbus and CCD, among many others.

It has an innovative one day retreat program for confirmation classes that has been very suc-. cessfuI.

"We will work out a program for a retreat with a p,arish to suit the particular needs of a group," Father Lawton explained.

"The style of retreats has changed very much over the last few years," he said. "The old formats are gone. Instead of an entire retreat being given by one priest, we use several priests and also 'B'rothers .and laymen in our programs>'" .

Faculty Resources

Brother Lewis Morrow coordinates the retreat schedules of the house.

"With .our large conference rooms and dining rooms, we can schedule up to 90 people for one day or evening tneetings, though we like to have a minimum of 40," he said, relaxing for a moment over a cup of coffee in the huge kitchen of the retreat house. On a bulletin was a calendar of the month's sched,ijle.

A typical month may include a Cursillo weekend, a youth group retreat or perhaps an ecumenical weekend such as a recent one the team participated in with the' United Council of Churches for the Brockton area.

Out, of ,~,?,'S retreat came not only -greater' " understanding among the people of many different faiths who participated, but also concrete plans for a project for the elderly of Brockton. The spark was ignited during the retreat for plan to use the Central Methodist church in downtown Brockton as a headquarters for both hot meals and soci~1 activities for the elderly.

AlI the churches that were represented in the retreat will cooperate ·in the enterprise.

"We have had two retreats for people of the Jewish faith and they were enriching experiences for all of us," Brother Lewis said. "In a day when we are all realizing the need for more personal prayer, it was wonderful to see the tremendous amount of personal reflection, prayer and meditation in the lives of those Jewish people."

"We'd like people to know about our facilities,", the tall, genial Brother said. "As a community of priests and brothers, assisted by many other religious and laymen,. we are trying to be of service to the larger community of the area."

"People are looking for a' place to go, a place with privacy, a place where they are helped to rethink attitudes. We think we have someth~ng quite unique here because we can draw on the tremendous resources of the Stonehill faculty for our retreats," he said.

A few weekends ago a group of Sisters expressed a wish to have a scripture scho'lar on their retreat team and their wish was fulfilled when Father Wliliam Beston joined them for conferences. Father Beston is Director of Vocations at the nearby seminary.

"We 'like to think of ourselves as catalysts," Father Lawton said, speaking for himself and the retreat house team, that includes Father Richard Sullivan, former president of Stonehill ColIege and past immediate head of the Eastern Province of the Holy Cross OFder.

Father Walter MacInnerney, formerly of the Western Province, and Father Walter SulIivan, No Cows are two more members. Brother Just Retreat House Though there is nary a cow Lewis Morrow is coordinator.

BERLIN (NC)-Polish Premier Piotr Jaroszewicz ordered the preparation of legal documents to give the Catholic Church title to Church property in former German territory now under Polish administration.

The property, inc Iud i n g churches, monasteries and land, belonged to the Catholic Church in Germany before 1945.

Ownership of the former German territory, a 40,000 squaremile area east of the Oder-Neisse rivers, has been disputed since the end of the war, but last year West German officials agreed to recognize Polish 'sovereignty. The West German, parliament, however, has not yet approved the agreement.

At present, the dioceses in the territory are run by Polish bishops acting as'apostolic administrators . The Vatican has not yet officially recognized Polish sovereignty over the former German territory, and wiil not appoint Polish residential bishops there until the West German-Polish agreement is ratified. by the West German parliament. The East German government has already recognized Polish sovereignty over the territory.

Poland's communist regime has been charging monthly rents for the churches, but a substantial proportion of the priests have not been paying. There have been trials in which the government has attempted to en· force 'the rentals. Hundreds of priests have had trouble with the authorities over this, and one priest went through five trials over his refusal to pay rent.

Many Viewers Voice Appreciation For TV Spiritual Experience NEW YORK (NC) - telecast of the 'pa'pai concert, celebrating the bi~~ntenriiai of Beethovan's birth and the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI's ordination to the priest~?od, recei.ved widespread cTltlcal acclaim and a large flow of viewer mail here.

The 90-minute color presentation aired on NBC-TV network Jan. 24 was termed by critic Ben Gross of the New York Daily News路 as "the standout of many months."

More than 1,000 telegrams and letters reached the offices of the Catholic Communications Foundation, according to Lowell Sammons, foundation spokesman.

"Time and again, viewers voiced appreciation for a rare spiritual experience and for 'bringing culture and fine music back' to television. The Catholic Church was praised' in letter after letter for a role as patron of the fine arts," Sammons stated.

"NBC repeatedly was lauded for its decision not to interrupt the performance for commercials or station breaks. The direction

of Franco Zeffirelli was considred masterful by scores of writers," he added.

The Beethovan "Missa Solemnis" was recorded in St. Peter's basilica, Rome, last May with Pope Paul VI in attendance.

Some 8,000 men and women from the art world, diplomatic representatives" Religious and lay people attended the concert.

NBC and the National Catholie Office for Radio and Television (NCORT) were responsible for bringing the program to American television.

The Catholic Communications Foundation serves as a funding and information center for Catholic radio and television programs.

Commends Expert's Book On American Labor Unions

Reports Appea~· Ha~ CLEVELAND (NO) The Cleveland chancery office said an appeal to Catholics to withhold contributions to parish and laity group -diocesa'n' funds by has had little or no effect in the diocese.

Here we go again on Professor Charles Reich's new book, "The Greening of America," which was referred to in passing in last week's Yardstick and in several previous releases of this column. Described by the publisher, in low key, as a serious attempt to analyze sympathetically the moves up the scale of income youth culture that is turning and education."

most widely reviewed books published during the past three or four years.

The reviews of Professor Reich's best seller have tended, for the most part, to be unusually long. This in itself would seem to suggest that the book is being taken very seriously even by its critics, and critics it has in great abundance.

And yet it keeps 'on selling like hotcakes, thanks in large measure to the unprecedented amount of attention and free advertising it is given by some of the very magazines and news· papers (The New Yorker, for example, and The New York Times) which, if I have read the book ,correctly, symbolize to·,its author much of what he thinks is disastrously wrong with our culture at the present time.

'Mood Piece' Personally I don't know what to make of "The Greenin·g. of America,'.' Up to a point I am' inclined to go along with one of my United Stat~s Catholic Conference colleagues wheri he says that it's a mistake to try to exegete the book chapter and verse. It should be read and read sympathetically., he says, as' a "mood piece," and a very .im·l portant one at that.

That's fair enough, but, after a second reading of the book, I must confess that every time ~ thought'I was. really beginning to catch the author's mood, he would unexpectedly break the spell by tossing. off dogmatic;; statements - away ou~side his own field of competence""which struck m~' as being, at best, ivory towerec;l cliches and, at worst, careless oversimplifications un~orthy of a professor at one of the most prestigious law schools in !J1e United States~ Bpk·Dunlop Book Professor Reich's oversimpli-· fied approach to tHe labor movement' is a case in point. To be sure, his references .to the labq,r movement are very skimpy, but the more I think about it, the more I am inclined to agree with Derek Bok and John Dunlop when they state in their recent book, "Labor and the Community," tnat "Unions are among the least understood lof our social institutions" and that "interestingly enough, in 'contrast with opinions on most other subjects, views about unions often seem to stray furthest from the' facts the higher one

of Harvard University, and Professor Dunlop was reportedly second in line for this Important post. Both men are recognized experts .on the subject of organized labor.

Professor Reich, on the other hand, has no particular competence in this· area-which may help to explain why he dismisses the labor movement with a careless flick of the pen, asserting quite dogmatically that it equates "material gains with solution of all the workers' prob·Iems," Greatest Contribution It goes without saying, of course, that the labor move· ment has always placed a great deal of emphasis on securing higher wages and more generous fringe .benefits for its members.

So what else is new? But to assert that the labor movement equates material gains with the solution of all the workers' problems may be good Consciousness III rhetoric, but it's demonstrably contrary to ,the fact.

To balance this kind of academic rhetoric, the reader would be well advised to take a look at what Bok and Dunlop have to say about the same subject in the 'book' refcm;d to ilboveone of the best books OIl organized labor published in' recent' years.

"Unions," they conclude, "have made what is perhaps their greatest contribution in securing fairer treatment for their members at the' work-place.

Praise V~tican Plan for Case WASHINGTON (NC)-A Vatican decision to hear both sides of a long-standing controversy. between Cardinal Patrick 0'Boyle and 19 Washington priests has drawn favorable response from those involved.

"We're pleased that the situation has reached this point," a spokesman for the Washington archdiocesan chancery said, "and hopefully it will be satisfactorily resolved through Cardinal WrigI,t's congregation," Cardinal John Wright, head of the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy; toici NC Ne\vs 'in 'Rom~ that a "three-phase", procedure foi discussing the case has been worked out by his congregation.

"The procedure takes into account the fact that neither side desires a judicial process," Cardinal Wr.ight said.

Noting that his congregation. "is not a judicial body," he said the procedure "is based on the principle that both sides must be heard." . . ':This process gives l a real sign of hope that a solution will be reached in the case," said Father Joseph Byron, ·spokesman for the priests.

God forbid, there were no unions in this country.

It's perfectly true,- of course, that unions as we know' them at the prese'nt time are far from' being perfect and haven't done' enough as" yet to 'humanize the industrial process along the lines suggested in "The Greenihg of America." , Neveitheles's ·the lab'or movement, with all its faults and imperfections, is a' far inore important institution than 'Reich' makes it out· to be and- Con-' scious'ness 'III rhetoric to' the contrary notwithstanding-is ari. absolutely indispensable institution. . ., . ·!thas made mistakes and will - make many' more in' grappling with what' Reich' refers to disdainfu-lly as "the hard <iuestions" (questions involving political and economic organization), but at least it doesn't shy away from them or pretend that they are "insignificant, 'even irrelevant," And, unfortunately, that's more than one can say for many of its academic critics, notably, Professor Reich.

Can .you Give Your Life Away?

The liturgical season of I.ENT is approaching; it is a time to take a "spiritual inventory" • . . a time of penance. Before we begin the Lenten season, let liS examine the meaning of the word "penance." Penance in the Greek is metanoia, meaning a "change of heart." In this sense, whatever we' do as "penance" should effect a change in the attitudes or dispositions that bind us to our selves; to change whatever keeps us from really going out in love for others.· What others? All others!

But :h~~ can. ..Jve do that? We can give of ourselves (our lives) to our fa~i1y, frie!1ds, and acquaintances by giving of our tim.e, patienc~ .linders'tand.ing, 'work, or just be being present and available. This can be "penance" enough, especially when we're just not in the ,mood for; whatever demand is made on us at the time.

But how can we really give our'''life'' to those not physically present; to those aro'und the' world we don't even know; to those so removed from us, yet so needful of us? What penance makes such' love possible?' - . . ' . .

We can give 'our,"life" to all others in many ways; by. a lively concern for their problems . . . by a prayer life that in. cludes lhe suffering-poor . . . by a Eucharistic Life that believes and receives ·all meri as brotJters in Christ, the. Bread of Life. In. short,by realizing our actual .. relationship· to .all others in .our life of -faith.· And there is .more, .••.

We can give of" our money to support tOday's missionaries giving their lives in service to God's poor; Our mo'ney' is ~. sign . and re~lection. o.f our lives: the earned wage 'of our life's workour means of sustenance. In many ways it determines our lifestyle;. it pro'vides us with many good things in life, as ~ell as causirig many of life's problems.

-.

Could we turn' our hearts this Lent to Christ's poor mis~ sionaries by giving them some of what we would spend on entertainment, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, snacks, frivolities,. luxuries, and 'simple pleasures?

The ceremony at Mount St. Francis recalls the concern of the early Christian communities for the sick. "If one of you is ill, he should send for the elders of the church, and they must anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him. The, prayer of faith will save the sick man and the Lord will raise him up again." (James 5:14).' The Council of Trent en~orsed the tradition that thes~ prayers and anointing are the origin of the Church's sacrament of the anointing of the sick.

What is. clear at Mount St. Francis, in Dubuque and at Jerusalem in the time of the Apostle James is the fact that the Christian community stands by the aging and ill with genuine concern. The person who is now weak has normally spent many years serving others in the community,"' contributing to the needs, of others. Now when the

he is present to. the sick or elderly person just as truly as he was to the suffering men and women of Galilee and Judaea.

He asks' of the sick now exactly what he asked of Jairus, "Do, not be afraid; only have faith" (Mk 5:36).

Presence of Christ Along the streets of Nazareth and Jerusalem some were cured of their illness, others were given courage and patience to find meaning and hope in the shadows of life. So today the power of Christ brings healing to the sick who recei~e the Sacrament of the Anointing with faith, sometimes physical healing or improvement, other times renewed hope, and insight into the deeper meaning of suffering.

A prayer ~fter the homily and before actual administration of holy oil sums up what'we hope the sacrament will accomplish.

"Redeemer 6f the world, we implore you by the grace of the Holy Spirit to heal these sick people of their infirmities. Forgive ·their sins, remove all cause of suffering, both in soul and body. By your mercy give thelT,l in abundance spiritual and bodily health. In your goodness heal. them. Give them strength necessary to resume their normal activities ..."

Sick Continued from Pagc Sixtccn worId and all its wealth, power, prestige, etc., are utterly powerless to give anyone meani!1g and hope and that is why the "world" retreats from death to darkness but. death in Christ and the entrance to eternal life. Thatis why the early Church saw the anointing of the sick as the culmination .of the sacraments of baptism and penance. The whole Church stands by the sick man with the symbol. .of anointing and God's Word, to spirituany strengthen this sick man in hope and faith at the crucial moment of human existence.

Instills Hope . This symbol of anointing is not empty, since it proclaims the future ,hope of every Christian in God. It, gives hope that even in the midst of the tragedy of sickness and death, the significance of his death has been .radically changed by the death of Christ.

This sacrament gives spiritual strength to the sick man. He is fortified because the image of death has now been changed by the death of Christ, in which' the baptized has been incorporated and saved. The anointing of the sick gives and strengthens the hope and faith of the sick man in making this reality of salvation his own during this most critical moment of his human existence.

Death does not and cannot have the final say since God has responded to our fear and despair of death, in the future promise of Himself, who is love, for all eternity.
