FALL RIVER, MASS., FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1984

Diocesans attend • • canonIZatIon VATICAN CITY (NC) - Last Sunday Pope John Paul II canon ized Paola Frassinetti, the 19th century foundress of a religious community active in the FaJI River diocese. The new saint, foundress of the Sisters of St. Dorothy, was canonized in ceremonies which included a concelebrated papal Mass. Those in attendance in cluded many Dorotheans and friends of the community from this diocese. St. Paola led a life that af firmed the identity and dignity of wonten, which the church has always protected and sustained for the moral betterment of so ciety and for the coming of the reign of Christ," the pope said during his homily. He concelebrated the Mass with several bishops, including Brazilian Archbishop Helder Camara of Olinda-Recife and Bishop Louis Gelineau of Provi dence, R.I. The Sillters of St. Dorothy have more than 2,000 members working ·iil 12 nations, including Brazil and the United States. Villa Fatima, Taunton, is the community's U.S. provincial house and the sisters staff Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School, New Bedford. A:mong pilgrims who attended the Mass in St. Peter's Basilica was a 53-year-old Italian wom an, Maria Maccarone, who had been bedridden for 13 'years by crippling arthritis. In 1981 Mrs. Maccarone recovered suddenly and completely after six months of daily prayer to Paola Fras sinetti. . After the Mass, during his noon Sunday Angelus address to 10,000 pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square, the pope again noted the contribution of St. Paola. "With this solemn recognition, the church not only intends to honor the heroic virtue of this fearless daughter;" he said, "but also her inspiring work destined to the promotion of woman in a Christian manner." In 1~4 the new saint founded' the Sisters of St. Dorothy dedi cated to the education of girls. The cpmmunity received papal approval In 18E!3.

ROME (NC) Dialogue among opposing groups, not mili tary intervention, is the only solution to the political up heaval in EI Salvador, said Arch bishop Arturo Rivera Damas of San Salvador, in an interview with La Republica, a Rome news paper. The interView appeared while archibshop Rivera Oamas was in Rome for the regular five-year visitby bishops to the Vatican to report on the status of their dioceses. "I do not know of any other solution than dialogue with the opposition," said Archbishop Rivera Damas, when asked about the four-year civil war which has claimed more than 40,000 lives. ' "It is a position which not only conforms to the Gospel but also to the reality of Central America," he said. In the Rome interview, Arch bishop Rivera Damas gave mbe· ed reviews to U.S. involvement in his country. ,il n the Kissinger plan, we find many positive 'elements but naturally these reflect the point of view of the United States, In relation to American interven tion, I believe that the facts of , Grenada must be considered as a warning to the whole region," he said, without elaborating. The Kissinger plan refers to the report on Central America' prepared by Ii bipartisan com mission headed by Henry Kissin ger, secretary of state in the Nixon and Ford administrations.

"In 1982, there were elections in EI Salvador," he said. "The vote of the people was inter preted as a vote for peace but the results were the opposite. I believe that these elections will serve very little unless the gov ernment decides to open dia logue with the opposition." ' The 1982 elections were for a constituent assembly empower ed to write a new constitution. The guerrillas did not participate in the elections and threatened ,violence 'against people who voted. The .March 25 elections will be for a president and legislature. The guerrillas are boycotting the election but have pledged not to .interfere with the voting. The archbishop denied that EI Salvador's problems are solely .the result of Soviet influence. "The crises in EI Salvador have their roots in internal so cial situations, even if the guer rillas surely have foreign sup port," he noted. ' He said that he and his auxi liary bishop "for our efforts in favor of justice and human rights, have repeatedly received warnings from Salvadoran death ,squads. We know they are seri ous but we will continue. We are in the hands of God."

"The Holy See is the govern ing apparatus of a church," said Edd Doerr, executive director of Americans for Religious Liberty. He said the Holy See "is pri.marily and essentially a religious entity," which he said is "pre cisely why the United States government should not have diplomatic relations with it." Doerr, who also was testify. ing on behalf of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Churches, American Ethical Union, Americim Humanist As sociation and Council for Demo cratic and Secular Humanism, said the Holy See "must not be confused with the Vatican." He described the Vatican as "a tiny sovereign enclave where the Roman Catholic Church is headquartered," but he said na· tions instead have diplomatic re lationships "with ·the Holy See." Joseph Skehan, president of the National Association of Laity, said that "hasty" estab lishment of, U.S.-Vatican diplo matic ties "contravenes the sound, tested and' proved direc tion of (the) American'system of church-style relations." He added that the new rela tionship threatens harmony among Americans of diverse re ligions and the independence of U.S. bishops, clergy, religious and laity.

the·0100rin~· The Real Ireland' .Most' of us a~e well, aware of the unique American celebration of S1. Patrick's Day. For those in the world of marketing, the feast is made to order to pickup sales and advertising between Valentine's Day and Easter. It indeed breaks up winter and ushers in spring. What better .time to celebrate and what better escape from the grey of winter than the flaunting of a bit of green·! The origins of the American observance of a foreign holy day; however, can be found not on Madison Avenue 'but on Tin Pan Alley. The sentimental tunes and languish ing lYrics of the music world have presented a picture of the Irish that is far from'reality, , Sweet Rosie O'Grady and MacNamara's Band paint a ,picture of Ireland whIch was not and is not consistent with .fact, no' matter how marketable. It is not unreasonable, ,though, to assume that most Americans view the Irish in the simplistic way in which they are annually presented. Because of this accumulative background, it seems that each year the celebration of Paddy's Day becomes more popular and' commerCialized. ' Unfortunately, the truth is quite' unmarketable, far from the stuff of good sales. Yet some of the real Ireland should be made known even ,as emigrants and their friends wander down memory lane; for it is now that Ireland is perhaps facing her greatest challenge. Most know of the trouble 1n Northern Ire'land. Few know its causes, in. fact, most of the Irish have only a cloudy idea of them. Opinions' on. and possible solutions to the horrendous situation are as various as the proverbial 40 shades 'of green. ' : . The Irish· have as many questions about the north as ,answers.' Few are helpful,' fewer. possess credib~lity. To see today's Ireland' solely "in terms of the picture presented by the media or by extremIst propaganda is to be blind to the realities of a much misuJ1.derstood nation. It may come as a shock to many here to learn that Ireland does not necessarily look to the United States as her only hope. As a full member of the European Communi ties (EC), Ireland daily touches her neighbors to the east. In the, area of exports' she comes behind· oI)ly England, West Germany and France, doing about 50 percent of her trade with England. Largely as Ii result of the EC, the Ireland of the past is swiftly disappearing. One must search for a thatched cottage almost as hard as one would for a leprechaun. But educational and industrial reforms have brought the nation new problems and worries. For example, Ire land has the highest birth rate in Europe, with some 50 percent of her population under age 25; and it is not fore seen that her economy will expand sufficiently to provide jobs for all the young people now approaching working age. Indeed~ nearly all the difficulties of today's world, including high taxation, unemployment and social upheaval, have found their way into Irish life. Gone.are the dreams of the bard. The fact is that Ireland has the same problems as the rest of us, possibly to a lesser extent,' but just as real. So as we celebrate the., jigs and reels of a happy St. Patric~'s .Day, let's not get s'o caught up in the past that we forget the Ireland of today.

Certainly there are sufferings which can and should be avoided, but. we should never avoid suffering be cause of our failure to be ,com passionate. Lent teaches us that fight or flight are not our only options when confronted with suffering. The third option of compassion is the way of patience that recog nizes both the ingenuity of man kind and' the goodness of God. The remarkable' blend of ac tion and prayer that has marked the lives of the saints through out the history of the church offers us countless examples to follow. Our Lenten resolutions shOUld be characterized by a balance'between good works and contemplation, acknowledging both the dignity of the human person and the grandeur of God.

We pray for the presence of your Holy Spirit and for those we know who are lonely and also for those who have no one to love them. Help our family to reach out to such people. Amen.

LESSON Young Family Materials: 1 large jar or can with cover, glue, old magazines, scissors, plain paper. Make a Lenten prayer jar. Have the chil dren reflect on ways God can speak to them. (Example: through parents, friends, nature.) Every one can cut out pictures that re flect his feelings and thoughts about conversation. The pictures may be arranged and glued to the jar. Each person can make three or ,four prayers about someone or something other than himself. Mom or Dad can help with the writing if necess ary. The prayers may be placed In the jar to be used at closing prayer time in future Family Nights.

othy 1:8-10 (pause in silence). Renewal is what takes place within us and is ever so person al between each of us and our God. Reconciliation flows from a renewed spirit just like sun rays come from the sun itself. Recon ciliation flows out upon every one we meet through our senses of touch, of speech, the way we listen, the very look in our eyes. Activities: Each person writes a letter to the family in answer to the questions (1) Who am I? and (2) How. can I reveal myself to my family through ways of reconciliation? Take about 10 or 15 minutes to write and then the letters may be read aloud or ex changed and read silently as' a family.

Adult Family Materials: Bible. Read aloud Genesis 12:1-4· then 2 Timothy 1:8-10 and then Matthew 17:1-9. Before we can really be serio' ous about taking up our cross and following 'Christ we need to first experience him in some form of personal experience. The readings above show very boldly Abraham's and the apostles'

Middle Years Family Materials: Bible, paper, pens. Read Scripture aloud, 2 Tim

"visions" and each had a Jong hard journey to follow after the experience of Christ in his life that made a strong impression, it would be worthwhile to share it this evening.

Pride in families

"I .subscribe to all the ::apital sins. whatever they are," a Catholic comedian quipped and proceeded to tick them off on his fingers: pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. He got the laughter he wanted from his primarily Catholic audience and then added, "I wonder why they call them deadly." To many of us, the seven capital or deadly sins were a list we had to learn from a catechism test, and like many catechism lessons we promptly forgot them when we grew up because we didn't know how to apply them to our daily lives. Yet, they exist, in different form perhaps than the examples we learned as chil dren, but they remain constant, lurking and deadly in family and \ individual me today. Lent is a good time to look at the seven capital sins and how they manifest themselves in mod ern family life. Let's begin with pride. There's a Chinese proverb: "Nobody's family -can hang out the sign, "Nothing the matter here!" We realize the truth in this saying but still we struggle with accept ing oUl,'Selves, our spouses, our children and our failings because of pride. An oversupply of pride o

can make any family miserable. By Here are some familiar exam ples of pride in families. Look at them closely and see which ones DOLORES disrupt harmony and love in CURRAN your own family life. Don't for ,get to ask the children's opinions! 1. Perfectionism: We foster the idea that a good family is refuse to let us have our own a perfect family without prob lems. When we have a problem . way rather than trusting them to do what they think is best like children's behavior, unem ployment, or school dropout, we for us because they ,love us. 4. Sabotaging family faith: We feel as if we have failed as a family. We blame and berate and are too proud to pray and ritual ize with our family because we a-ecuse the erring one of tarnish ing the family name, which we feel it's childish.

REEL

I was asked probably 100 times,' "Who do you think will be the next archbishop of New York? I always gave a reply that went something like this: ' "Well," I began, clearing my throat and sounding profound, "if the pope wants continuity, he will choose either Bishop Joe O'Keefe, who was vicar general under Cardinal Cooke and is ad ministering the archdiocese until a successor is installed, or he will choose Bishop Ted M-eCar rick of Metuchen, N.J., who worked closely with Cardinal Cooke for a decade until the Metuchen diocese' was created a couple of years ago and he was sent there to head it. O'Keefe and McCarrick have to be the front-runners." Then I went on with a weighty analysis of the state of the church that allowed for cer tain longshots whose names I ticked off. Nobody ever asked me, "Do you think Bishop John O'Connor of Scranton has a shot at it?" If anyone had, I would have re plied, "Don't be ridiculous. Not a chance. The pope just sent him to Scranton. It's too soon to move him. Besides, he's too closely. identified with the pas toral letter, on nuclear weapons, which he helped draft. His ~election would politicize the archdiocese. No, for numerous reasons, O'Connor is not in the running." Aren't I brilliant? Know-it-all Reel. Make that Wrong-again Reel. The pope is so much smarter than people like me who are al ways trying to figure him out. Within a few days after O'Con nor got the nod for New York, it was obvious that he was pre cisely the perfect man for the job. The other. day a student at the Columbia Univ~rsity School of Journalism asked me why I thought the pope picked a man who, at 64, is older than Car dinal Cooke was and can serve for only 11 years before reach ing the mandatory retirement age for bishops. I'm a little more humble now, but just as full of opinions, and I never tire of gabbing about the church, so here is what I answered:

BILL

r./

w.~'.

the most quotable spokesman for Catholicism this side of Rome, as he proved during the press conferences that followed his selection. He is exactly the sort of speaker the media demand: pithy, incisive, lucid. He gets right to the point. He doesn't waste words. "Governor Mario Cuomo is an 'excellent communicator, but Bishop O'Connor can match him. Mayor Koch is extraordinarily glib, but 'Bishop O'Connor is just as quick-witted. O'Connor will never be one-upped by the com petition. "The pope believes that the decadence and despair of the modern 'world are epitomized by abortion. Abortion is sacred to feminists and .Jiberals. Feminists and liberals predominate in the media. Only the most eloquent spokesman for life, the most persuasive Christian leader, can turn public opinion around on the abortion issue. "O'Connor came out of the controversy on the nuclear weapons pastoral as neither a havvk .nor a dove, but a pro-life. This image will serve him well when he leads the charge against abortion, which '<JJm convinced he will do. "He will do it in New York, where it has to be done before it can be done anywhere else. That's why the pope picked him. That's why he's the perfect choice." I think I'm right this time. We'll see.

Father Bruce Ritter " I

EV'ERY DAY IS GOOD FRIDAY

Lent-spiritual death and dying-is hard to live with. Death and dying are a way of life on the·street. Sin is an institution here. Organized sin is literally the lifestyle of thous,ands-chosen only by a few, forced on many. Outside our centers, every day is Good Friday. Every day, Our Lord's passion and death is reenacted; every day, Pilates and Herods wash their hands: every day, crowds jeer and deride goodness and condemn the in nocent; every day. children are scandalized and co rrupted; and every day. young people by the thousands are bought and sold. ' Those young people, in a way most of us will never com prehend, share in the pain, the abandonment, the loneliness, the utter desolation. the terror that was Jesus' short life and dying. They, more than any, are the poor to whom He longed to prea,ch His good news; the outcasts and nomads with whom He was most at home. They are the, very least of His brethren. A' girl said to me: Why do you and your friends run this place? You must be very rich! And I said: "No.1 am always broke and we do it because of God and we care about you and love you." And she said: "Can I come to Church and pray with you?" . A boy (a street kid, a hustler) said to me. "Bruce, give me $10.000. you must be a millionaire to run this place."1 just laughed and said I didn't have any money and he asked me where I got it and I, said I asked people for it. He laughed and said unbelievingly: "What do you say?" I said to him. "Well if you had money and I asked you for some of it to help a bunch of really good kids who had no place to stay, Father Bruce Ritter, OFM Cr,Jnv., is the founder and President of Covenant House, which operates crisis centers for homeless and runaway boys and girls al/ over the country.

wouldn't you give it?" And he said, "Yes" and started to cry. I think because it had been a long time since someone had called him good,

"Death and dying are a way of life on the street." . ,

You see the goodness is all around us here, in the beautiful kids who come to us. It's not always easy to love my kids-to see goodness. Our kids are Qeautiful, but sometimes it takes just a bit of looking for. We have to hope a lot and sometimes overlook the marks that pain and cynicism leave on a child's fac'e. Our kids are beautiful. They wouldn't like to hear me call them that. They would snort unbelievingly and say I was crazy or weird and why did I think that. And that it just wasn't true. It would also mean that I loved them and there is no "!ay they can believe that. No way. Like Randy. I'll never forget him. He couldn't believe'it. He was afraid to. "You want me to give up something for Lent, Bruce?" He said that incredulously, almost with a sense of shock and outrage. "I have a lot of getting to do. I ain't never had anything."

because of love and grace.lhe meaning the death of Jesus imposes on our lives is inescapable: He died for all of us because He loved us though we are not worthy of it and do not deserve it. And ever since that Good Friday, the only allowable reason for us to do good to anyone is out of love for Him. Most especially kids like Randy, still only 16. hurt ing and crucified. We are in great need this month. Some new, urgently needed staff, some unexpected emergencies. shockingly high fuel and food bills-all kinds of expenses that make it ,so difficult for you and your families to make ends meet. If you can afford to help us, we would be deeply grateful. Please pray for us every day. We always pray for you. Beyond any possible way of saying it, we are gratefUl to you and for you, for loving our kids. • f

Nobody does anything just to be good. You guys don't. You're getting something out of it. All your staff does. It makes you feel good to help me. That's your bag, man. Don't lay your trip on me. You need me, man! I don't need Him or you." The boy was 16. A street kid. To us: who are believers, the world is a different place
