Bishop Cronin's Easter Message Dearly beloved in Christ, The whole Easter message--as relived in the Easter ' Vigil-is the rising anew in spirit with the Risen Christ. Easter tells us that the struggle between light and darkness, life and death, has taken place. Christ has been victorious: His redemptive work has been accomplished. Now it remains for that salvation won by Christ to be applied toal!. men. Each person must enter into the tr!umph of Christ. Each Christian, dying to that part of himself which i~ unworthy, must continually rise again in newness of life, with renewed lo.ve of God as shown in the keeping of the commandments, with renewed love of neighbor through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, with renewed personal hope and courage to form his or her own life more in the image Of the, :(,ord.· The reality of Easter belongs not to a single day. It is the continuing vocation of every Christian. As your.Bishop, I rejoice with you that Christ is truly risen. Aiid I pray that He may be risen within each one of you, and that . His pres,ence in your lives may cause you to walk always in His light and in His love. Faithfully your in Christ,

L~-·l.. A.h. ~ ,,4 »=., COYLE HlGH SCHOOL ALUMNr CONCELEBRATE WITH BISHOP CRONIN AS PRINCIPAL CONCELEBRANT AT FINAL SPIRITUAL 'RITE

Bishops Announce Progra,m of Priestly Formation WASHINGTON (NC) - The first formation program tailored specially for U. S. seminarians describes new ways for future priests to find out what ministry is like by working with the people they serve. The U. S. Program of Priestly Formation was authored by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops to fulfill a Vatican Council II directive that each country in the world prepare its own official seminary program. Subject to the approval of the Holy See, the programs were 'to be revised at regular intervals and harmonize with a Basic Plan for Priestly Formation-issued in 1967 by the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education. The U. S. program has been approved for five years. "After that time, in the light of experience and of changing circumstances, the program will be adjusted and revised," said Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Grady of Chicago, chairman of the U. S.

Bishops' Committee on Priestly Formation. Practical suggestions for putting ministry to work during the seminary years are included in the 120-page U. S: formation program. It covers academics, general goals, organizational techniques and spiritual formation in high school, college' and graduate level (theologate) seminaries. Along with academic studies at the theologate level, it proposes a "field education'~ program, . directed by a seminary faculty member, to give future priests the opportunity for exposure to the people they will serve. Personal Maturity Concentrating at first on parish work, the program can also include teaching catechetics or working in hospitals, community organizations and charity agencies. "A field education program' will help the candidate achieve

a greater degree of personal and . emotional maturity," the document says, "because it will place him in more of a 'real world' atmosphere than has been usual in the rather closed seminary environment of the past." Another suggestion for giving future priests practical ministerial experience is a "deacon internship" for an unspecified period of time after the theol\)gate. Normally, ordination to the priesthood comes shortly after completion of theoiogate studies -and that option is still open. The deacon int,ernship, how.ever, would give a seminarian the chance to live and work in a parish before making the life commitment that receiving final orders implies.

Ordination would thus come by reason of personal readiness and community approval rather than by class promotion," the NCCB document says. A community dimension has also been added to seminary administration with a proposal for a seminary board composed of clergy, Religious_ (and laymen "who share a concern for priestly formation." The board's task, according to the document, would be "to help develop the basic. policy of the schoof' in accordance with Church law, this program of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and standard American educational practice." Theological study receives lengthy treatment in the NCCB

document. First aim of college-level seminary formation is to help the seminarian "mature as a liberally educated human person, committed to Christ and to the service of his neighbor," the document says. The college student is still experiencing a "crisis of growth" involving personal commitment to God and final choice of a vocation, it continues. "He must be assisted to understand fuHy the options open to him,' to discover his ,own identity, to rei.lite himself , personally' and functfoli' ally to the Church and the world, and to integrate the diverse aspects of his personality for ef· fective a, tion." ."

Community Approval When a deacon intern feels ready for ordination, his pastor, the field education director, the parishioners he has served and his bishop can also evaluate his readiness.

FBI PirectorUrges Respect For P,olicem-en WASHINGTON (NC)-Policemen should be respected, FBI dir~ctor J. Edgar Hoover said in the current issue of the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin. Urging law enforcement officers to serve with dignity and honor, de~pite suffering personal indignities, Hoover said, "as a rule, a repulsive slur is more descriptive of its origin than its target." "Frequently," the FBI director said, "some belligerent, anti-law enforcement elements of our society refer to police officers as 'pigs: Obnoxious four-letter words are shouted at policemen, and the familiar chant, 'Off the pigs,' meaning 'Kill the Police' is a prominent cry wherever these groups assemble. "Further, cartoons and publications depicting police officers as pigs are common fare, even for children. The ridiculous statement, 'The only good pig is a dead pig' is a slogan of ,violent protestors. Such deplorable epithets can be gratifying only to little minds." Leaders Intimidated Hoover said that community leaders, including clergymen, "need to shore up some eroding ideals and principles" and "take a firm stand to preserve our sense of values." He complained that too many ~Ieaders are "swayed or intimidated by loud, unruly and aimless ramblerspeople with a lot -of dialogue but' no message." He said that policemen deserve more respect for what they represent. "In a free society where law-not man-is supreme, the policeman is a living symbol of the freedoms shared."

Project Equality Now Independent CHICAGO (NC) Project Equality, the nation's largest private program urging fair employment practices, separated from its parent body here to incorporate as an independent inter-religious organization. Formed in 1965 as a unit of the National Catholic Conference for -Interracial Justice, Project Equality now has nearly 400 participating religious bodies ranging _in size from the New_ York archdiocese to local churches, synagogues and church councils. . Don Rose, Project Equality's director of research and commu~ nications told NC News that the project was originally conceived as a Chicago diocesan program "but within a matter of months it attracted the attention of a great many other religious bodies and became an ecumenical movement with enormous potential. The only question was how soon it couid become selfsupporting and autonomous." Project Equality now operates in 23 states, promoting employment opportunities by directing the purchasing power of religious institutions toward businesses that practice non-discriminatory employment.' . Through a' program of on-site compliance reviews of more than 3,000 businesses in the program, the project claims it is generating an estimated 1,000 job opportunities for minorities each month.

Cites Delusion Of Materialism

PRINCIPALS AT COYLE HIGH'S'SPIRITUAL FAREWELL: Present for the concluding spiritual ceremony as Coyle High School, Taunton ends an education era were: Bro. Ralph Jaworsky, CSC, principal at Washington's Mackin High School and principal at Coyle from 1949-55; Bishop Cronin, principal concelebrant of the Mass; Rev. James F. -Lyons, pastor of the St. Mary's Parish, Taunton where the late Monsignor Coyle served as pastor for 35 years; Bro. Richard Kiniry, present principal at Coyle.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Modern man must not be deluded by the materialistic opinion that the present life is all he has, Pope 'Paul VI told' a general audience in St. Peter's Basilica. Comparing the delusion of materialism to the temptation of Christ in the desert, Pope Paul summarized the enticements offered by the materialists: "Be content with this world, for here is reality, life, the fullness of man, sufficient riches . , '. . Everything else is an illusion, an alienation, mere opium and a myth." The Pope countered by saying that the material benefits of this wofId 'are as transitory as the bread pffered Christ in the desert. Material benefits may satisfy for the moment, but they do not last. Instead, the Pope said, modern man must be convinced that "this effort: of materialistic humanism act,ually lowers the status of man to a temporal and animal level and denies the individual his personality."

Schools' Deficit Near $9 Mill~on_

TALLAHASSEE (NC)~atho足 Iic elementary and high schools in. Florida were operated slightly le,ss .than $9 million in the red during the 1969-70 school term, a statewide report disclosed. The Florida Catholic Conference which prepared the report said the total cost of education in the schools during the period was $24,645.728 and the deficit totaled $8,846,294. Thomas A. Horkan, Jr., direc-' tor, said the survey was the. first under a uniform accounting system for all Catholic school systems in the state.

He said it is apparent that unless state aid is given the Catholic schooI-. system, the schools may have to close. The report showed the state

think any longer in terms of a "monolithic" Communist conspiracy. Peking seems ,Worried every time Moscow and Washington make courteous noises to each other. Equally, the Russians do not seem very happy about President Nixon's modest signalling to the Chinese. In theory, the two Communist Great Powers might make common cause against imperialism. In practice, so' far, they have just gone through a decade of spiteful, resentful relations, each denouncing the other's heresy and each disputing the other's version of the immensely long common frontier they are condemned to share. It sems a reasonable assumption that the Atlantic states do not have to outmatch both Communist Great Powers simultaneously. , In the relations between Russia and America, there is clearly one area in which unilateral American disarmament does not make sense. Europe is itself so powerful and highly industrialized that neither Great Power can at present envisage the other taking over the whole continent. Need Security Agrement

can move in and takeover. In West Africa, Guinea for a time depended almost entirely on Eastern block aid. But when. President Sekou Toure found the Russian Ambassador meddling in local politics, he packed him off to Moscow. In the United Arab matter, President Nasser continued tq goad Egyptian Communists, no matter what flow of arms was being delivered by the Russians. In Cuba, Russia 'contributes millions of dollars a day in .aid and has seen the local Communist' leader, Escalante, and his close associates put to one side. Perhaps Eastern Europe is still more striking. The Polish workers have just thrown out a government and the 'new one is seeking cordial relations with the Catholic (::hurch. AII these examples illustrate the unreadiness of small peoples to be run in the old way. To rewrite Marx: "A shadow is haunting the World-the shadow of democracy." Force Not All We assume too easily that force is all. The lesson of Poland for Russia as of Vietnam for' America is that power is not en<;lUgh to suppress people who believe their fundamental interests ar eat stake. The idea of self-determination cannot be simply eclipsed. It' revives and lives again. The second reason has close connections with this issue of "self determination." It is a principle enshrined in the world's overall basic law, the Charter of the United Nations. One of the purposes of the U. N. is to set up an independent, international police force precisely to prevent local disputes from involving outside powers and to create and hold a context for peaceful settlement. Since 19So-when the U. N. sanctioned the defense of South Korea-a number of U. N. police actions have had some success. The Congo emerged from civil war with its territory intact and without two rival governmentsas in Germany or Korea or Vietnam. Thanks to U. N. policing, Cyprus has not drawn Greece and Turkey into a disastrous war. The U. N.'s mediation efforts have at least so far localized the bitter Israeli~Arab strug-

But this does not mean that lower arms spending is inconceivable In fact, only some joint agreement on reduced levels of arms in Europe can help the two Great Powers solve one of the issues tending toward stalemate at the talks on strategic arms limitation (SALT). At present, Russia says American medium and short range rockets in Europe must be controlled. The Americans point out that these are there to protect Europe from the equivalent rock~ ets based in Russia. The argument is only solvable through a European Security Agreement which could have the effect, both on reducing arms spending and , of helping forward the SALT ~~ It is here, surely, as President talks. But at least one-third of the Nixon suggested at the el)d of American arms budget is devoted his recent mess!1ge on foreign to Vietnam and to preparations affairs, that the hope of future for other possible Vietnams.

C'ritici%es Federation's Position On Celibacy, Marri~d Priests NOTRE DAME (NC)-A veteran journalist criticized as "a serious mistake" the stand taken by the National Federation of Priests' Councils on the celibacy and married priests issues. Holy Cross Father John Reedy, publisher of AD Correspondence, a newsletter issued here, said in the April 3 issue that he had attended the March IS-18 NFPC conVention in Baltimore. He said the resolution regardi,ng celibacy was made the main isuue of the, convention. The resolution called celibacy "a pre. cious tradition of the Church" which "must be preserved," then requested the priests now active be given th,e choice between marriage and celibacy; that national hierarchies be allowed to accept married men as candidates for the priesthood and that priests who already have married be invited to return to, the ministry. ',_ The vote on the resolution was 182 in favor, 23 opposed and three abstaining, with 221 delegates at the' convention, Father Reedy said. Diminishes Stature "These priests, were not present as individuals; they had been elected' to represent affiliated senates' of priests (formally established with approval and influence of the bishOp) and also a number of priest associations (usually established by the priests, themselves, without the formal approval-often encountering the disapproval -"- of the bishops)," Father Reedy wio'te. He expressed belief the NFPC resolution 'has little chance of achieving its goal; diminishes the stature of the NFPC; will lead to fllrther alienation of priests from bishops; will mislead a numbE:r of priests into believing a change , of policy is inevitable, and will further polarize the Church' in the United States..

Father Reedy reported he asked Father Frank Bonnike, NFPC president, if he expected the U. S. bishops at their April meeting in Detroit to name delegates-for the world Synod of Bishops in Rome in September who are open' on the optional celibacy' issue. He said the NFPC head, refused to give a yes-orono answer. Massive Support "Instead, he said: 'We have a responsibility to state our own opinion honestly.' But all through the meeting, Father Bonnike and many others insiste.d that this statement was intended as a 'political document/ in other words, one which would achieve its practical results," Father Reedy wrote.

PORTLAND (NC)-The Senate of Priests of, the Portland archdiocese has voted to repudiate a resolution passed by the National Federation of Priests Councils calling for optional celibacy for priests now active in the ministry. . The Oregon senate vote on the NFPC statement was 18 for repudiation, two against repudiation ,and six abstentions. The resolution .read: "With all due respect for the delegates to the recent national meeting of the National Federation of Priests Councils, this Senate of Priests hereby repudiates the following resoiution of those delegates: " 'We ask that choice 'between celibacy and marriage for priests now active in the ministry be allowed and, that the change begin imm~diately.''' "In no way does this repudiation judge the delegates' mo.tives or good intentions, nor does it pretend to debate the case for or against celibacy; it merely proclaims to the people of this archdiocese that this Senate of Priests does not agree with the recent action of the NFPC delegates and firmly disavows their view of diluting celibacy in the Catholic priesthood." . The senate is an affiliate of, the NFPC.

Flattery We 'sometimes imagine we" hate flattery, but we only hate' the way we are flattered. -La Rochefoucauld

He charactedized the divergence ' ,of judgment between priests and bishops on' the issue "as 'great as aimost any other imaginable." He said at Vatican Council II, in synods and past meetings of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops "every time this subject has arisen, the support of the present discipline of clerical celibacy was massive, if not unanimous." Father Reedy said the NFPC has done "many good things for priests in the United St!ites," has provided them a much needed voice and could provide a "desperately' needed" irtfluence with the U. S. conference of bishops.

Exem,ption Issue Some Convents, Rectories May Pay Minnesota Taxes ST. PAUL (NC) - Some convents, rectories and Catholic colt. lege dormitories may have to start paying state taxes, if two proposed bills' pass the Minnesota legislature here. Last Fall; Minnesota voters passed a constitutional amend· mentallowing the legislature to redefine the limits of tax-ex· empt properties. The two bills in question are part of a cluster of such legislation under consideration. , All property owned by religious institutions .is now exempt from state taxes' in .Minnesota.. One bill before' the house tax committee puts any building used bya public' or private ed· ucational institution as a residence for 'teachers 'or admiilistra" tors on the t'!x ,rolls., . This rrteans convents that house ·teaching, Sisters, or student'dormitories which incideJ.lt·: ally house teaching Religious would' both be taxed. A'secqnd bill says single dwel-, ling units for priests, ministers or rabbis serving a congregation would remain tax exempt, but prop'erty 'used for' additional dwelling units would not. ' . Both bills were tabled by the tax committee March 18. Religious Purposes Rep.' Harol~ Anderson, of Minneapolis, tax 'committee chairman, said he has been surprised that the bills have brought . little public reaction, either pro or con. House majority leader Ernest

Lindstrom, a co-authOr of the bills, acknowledged that the committee may want to amend the legislation preserving tax exep1ptions for convents and stu, dent dormitories. Lindstrom said another way of handling the exemption issue might be to insert tbe phrase "for religious purposes" after present wording which says property "owned by, religious institutions" is exempt.

CAMDEN (NC)-The superintendent of Gamden diocesan schools has outlined a formula to offset pessimistic predictions made by "prophets of doom" regarding the future' of Catholic schools. In a letter to administrators and faculty members of diocesan schools, Father James R. Tracy said: "We must a"ticulate the values of Ca,tholic education, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of our schools, actualize their potential and then make our voices heard." Father Tracy, acknowledged Catholic education today "stands at the turning point of decision," adding it is "our task as educators to 'Jet people see the inside of our schools and the heart of our system." Contrary to "prophets of doom" predictions that Catholic schools are headed toward extinction, Father Tracy said there is no breakdown of trust or com· munications among diocesan ed'ucators. He said "value education is the goal" and Catholic schools should be communities of love in addition to,' institutions of learning. He called for innovative tech· niques such a~ team 'teaching; "individualized-prescribed in· struction, and frequent faculty meetings to discuss means of meeting the quality education goal." Father Tracy asked the schools to undergo a self:evaluation program of their religious education programs based on guidelines fixed by the National Catholic Educational Association.,

of, Genocid'e Victims' Memory Shortly after Tito took con-' trol of the country in 1945, a campaign of religious persecution began. About 350 priests were killed, 200 others 'were .imprisoned, and'· all Church property was confiscated. But in'recent years, all charges against Yugoslav clergymen have been dropped arid seminaries and other religious institutions are reopening. . At his' meeting - with Pope Paul, Tito conveyed "the senti, 'ments of profound respect of the peoples and the government of Yugoslavia." Protest Meeting The resolution handed out by Croatian demonstrators here noted their ancestral devotion to the Church and the authority of the Pope' "has been deep and endless for thep~st 1300 years." The demonstrators said the Vatican meeting betrayed the memory of the victims of Tito's religious purge and 'those other

victims, yet living, who are being persecuted. in their homeland and also being forced into migration." .' , On his way to and from' the audience with Pope Paul, Tito's limousine was surrounded· by a dense swarm of motorcycle police. During several days previous to the Yugoslav leader's visit, .groups of right-wing Catholics and Yugoslav nationals in Rome circulated handbills protesting the meeting.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Maryland and Georgia have joined the gr0wing list of states whose legislators have turned down bills aimed ' at lifting restrictions against abortion. The Maryland House of Delegates decisively defeated a bill that would have removed virtually all restrictions. The proposal,similar to one passed by the legislature last year but vetoed by Gov. Marvin Mandel, was rejected by a wide margin 77-to-49. Public awareness and opposition were the main factors causing defeat, according to several Catholic leaders closely tied. to ' the issue. Maryiand Del. S. Frank 'Shore who led opposition against the bill, said that letter-writing campaigns, seminars, citizen contact with legislators and iectures by physicians kept the "rights of the unborn" before. the lawmakers. Passionist Father Neil, O'Donnell, Baltimore archdiocesan coordinator of health affairs, said the defeat showed '''an enlightened awareness of, an aroused social conscience on the part of the people of Maryland of a)1 shades of belief and convictions." At Georgia's state, capitOl, state Rep. KiI· Townsend withdrew his liberalized abortion bill from House consideration.

JACKSON (NC)-Prayer is the" basis for Christian unity, Cardinal Jan Willebrands, 'the Vatican's top spokesman for the ecumenical movement; said he~e in Mississippi. I The ,cardinal told the U. S. Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs at a special public Mass con~luding the group's two-day. meeting: "The basis of the movement is prayer because unity among Christians is a gift of God." Cardinal Willebrands, president ow the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, continued: ' "The first to pray for Christian unity wits Jesus Christ Himself. This is not just unity among men but a unity of mind and spirit," He said Christ called men to ask of Him and they would reo, ceive. "It is the will of God for unity, but we must pray for the mountain of division that exists to be removed and cast in the sea. "Let us pray for the gift of unity to begin with each of us." 'The bishops' committee adjourned without a statement. Matters di;scl,lssed at its regular meetings are not usually made public. The bishops' committee, met in Mississippi as a farewell gesture to Bishop Joseph B.

Says

PALO ALTO (NC)-Six Cath· olic priests have asked Stan· ford University to "mobilize and show strength" to end the war in Vietnam. The clergymen, including Fa· ther John S. Duryea, director of the Stanford Newman Cen· ter,critlcized' 'the uh'iversity's' president for not leading the way. In an open letter the group called upon "all of us who claim to be Christians" to go beyond anti·war rhetoric to coordinated action aimed at ending the war. The letter noted that Richard W. Lyman, the university's pres· ident, had condemned the war previosuly, but addressed him,

Birthright Offers Complete Service TORONTO (NC) A seed planted by a Toronto housewife in October 1968 has grown into a full-sized tree, with branches extending over most of North America. • It's Birthright, an emergency pregnancy counseling service founded by Mrs. Louise Summerhill to help solve any problem that might make it difficult for a pregnant woman to give birth. Birthright's credo is: It is the right of every pregnant woman to give birth. And central to that credo is Mrs. Summerhill's assumption that "no woman in clear conscience destroys her own."

Woodbury, N.J., who is in charge of the four centers in New Jersey, is coordinator of the international committee. Interest is also being shown in the Britain, Australia and New Zealand for centers patterned on Birthright, she said. What- makes Birth·right. tick? Mrs. Summerhill, a petite mother of seven childre'n, gives the answer - Birthright offers a complete service to problem pregnancies,' "Whatever' problems make it difficult for a pregnant woman to give birth, we help to solve them," she sa!d. The problems may be financial, medical, psychiatric or they may involve employment, accommodation, immigration or adoption.

Birthright has liaison with the community services, and helps in obtaining legal aid where necessary, even marriage counseling and referrals to the Children's Aid Society. It also gives the pregnancy test, free of charge. . All this and more is offered completely free to anyone who is pregnant and distressed. In fact, Birthright has helped 3,000 women in the Toronto area since Mrs. Summerhill began her apos-tolate' on a shoestring budget and a prayer. "Half of the women who called wanted abortions, but Birth· right saved 99 per cent of these women from the perils of abof'tion," she said.

Aide Asserts Cardinal Koenig Would Regret Pope's Retirement WASHINGTON (NC) - Cardinal Franziskus Koenig of Vienna would "very much regret" the retirement of Pope Paul VI, an aide at his chancery in Austria told NC News in Washngton by telephone. A member of the cardinal's staff said Cardinal Koenig has never discussed the question of papal retirement with the Pontiff or anyone else. NC News placed a transAtlantic call to Cardinal Koenig after a major American daily newspaper (The New York Ti.mes) reported, in a ~tory f:om VIenna, that the cardl~al thmks Pope Paul wants to resIgn. The news report had not yet been seen in Vienna, the chancery official said, although the cardinal's office had learned about it and' had prepared a statement. "Cardinal Koenig himself would -very much regret the retirement of Paul VI, although realizing that-while the retirement of a Pope is absolutely unusual in the Church-it is theoretically possible." the statement said. The spokesman said the .,;. i .

statement had also been given to Kath Press, the Austrian Catholic news agency. The last Pope to resign was Pope St. Celestine V, who resigned in 1294, two years before his death, to go back to his former life as a hermit and mystic. Pope Paul, who is 73 set the. age of 75 for bishops and pas· tors to submit their resignations and 80 for cardinals to yield their power of electing new Popes. His age-consciousness in taking such steps has touched off recurring speculation in both the general and the Catholic press that he might resign the papacy in two more years.

Sees Expo nsion Of Bible Work I n Red Nations NEW YORK (NC)-A consultant for the United Bible Societies said here new openings for Bible work in communistdominated countries of Eastern Europe now are more "encouraging" than in many years. The Rev. Sverre Smaadahl, based in Geneva, Switzerland, as Eastern Europe consultant for the societies, said the extent of the Bible work varies in Eastern European countries, with the exception of Albania where religion is forbidden. Mr. Smaadahl, a Norwegian who has a master:'s degree in theology from Yale University's divinity school, was here for UBS administrative meetings. He said that for decades there have been no fresh supplies of Scriptures in a majority of the communistdominated c 0 un t r i e sand churches have lost many of their privileges. "Christians in. Eastern Europe have experienced what .it is. to live under the cross," .he 'said, but Christianity "has survived."

by the breaking of bread. To each of these He gave a mission: He told Mary to go tell the others; He told the disciples that repentance should be preached; and He told Peter to feed His sheep. After Christ was recognized He disappeared, leaving them to find Him still present in each other! Today is no different. The Lord comes to us, and yet often don't recognize Him. He is present still among us; He speaks to us in His Word; and He is present in the Breaking of the Bread. Like .Mary, the travellers, and the apostles,' He ·Ieaves us with a mis3ion to go to the others and tell them the Good News that He is risen - He is God - we are saved! We could all give endless examples of our personal experiences of God; be it in an experience of love, prayer, commimity, birth and death, or happiness and sorrow. God is present and acting in our lives so much we· often don't realize it. But when we do experience God in our life, do we go out exclaim. ing our Good News to others? We are all called to "propagate our faith," and we do in many ways. Our actions alone witness 'to others our inner motivations (that which "moves" us to act or react.) When others experience love, trust, patience, and goodness from you, do they not experience something of God, if your life is motivated by Christ's life within you? Easter and Christrnas remind of this. Unfortunately the Easter "spirit," like the Christmas spirit, dwindles away (after the lilies die, the new clothes are worn, and the Easter baskets are empty) and we go about our business not grasping the joy each day holds with eaillh experience of people. relating with people. Likewise the spirit of sacrifice and giving may be. pushed aside as if. our obligation had been fulfilled till next Lent. We easily forget that God is present among us in the suffering-poor of the missions; that Christ's Mission is not a supplement to our Christian life, but a real· extension of it; that tl)e missionaries depend on their fellow-Christians for support all year; and that our giving to the missions is not just a charitable act, but a real witness of our faith from which other living human beings . will experience the living God!

We would like to express here our gratitude for your generous sacrifices for the missions during Lent. At the same time we 'do not hesitate to beg for your continued LOVE for the world's poor and their missionaries. In the' true spirit of Easter then,. please share your faith and Good News with others by sending a gift for the missions. Please clip out this column, attach your sacrifice, and mail it ·today.

DoC:umen~

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb brought an instant ,meaning and a spirit into the lives of His early followers. The Resurrection brings the same meaning and spirit into our lives, in 1971 and thereafter. Modern living is" we are told, becoming more grim each year. Existence seems more hopeless for the older people, for the middle IIged, for the young. How can a person survive--:-stay away', from the prevailing gloom? You will (Jneed three things: (1) a spirit of unity with a,ll peo- , pIe; (2) a spirit of optimism; (3) a philosophy of life that gives you the long-range view, so you , know what you are supposed, to be doing in life. The need, for these three is evident. Without unity you will ,feel separated, from other generations and people-you will feel alone, 'misunderstood, unhelped by others; not helping others. So. somehow you must get a bond of , unity with all "people. NECESSITY OF OPTIMISM Also, you mu~thave optimism. The daily news. stresses war, 'crisis and disast~r incessantly, so that it person, can become obsessed with worry. If you allow yourself to be overwhelmed, you will become a fearful, depressed human being. Especially if young, you will be tempted to deep discouragement with. life, to become critical of soCiety, to stop trying, to turn to drugs or drink. To survive in 1971 and afterwards you will need, optimism. ' . But you will have neither unity nor optimism unless you have if philosophy of life that will explain life and, give you a reason for, living and for remaining cheerful and truly interested in all other people. Otherwise one is ju~t stumbling ,around in the dark, perpetually lost, without a roadmap. 'But if a person had a philoso~ phy of life ~hat would explain what it is all about and at the same time would encourage' both optimism and' unity with other people-thEm he would have the real key to survival in 1971 and afterwards'. Such a person would be lucky. He owns a personal surv'i,val kit. H'e is not worried, come, what may in society. He, has' no problems with a genera, tion gap-he is interested in all and wants 'to help all. Unity with all men, optimism, , a philosophy of life-if you have been alert, you know I have been describing'in reverse order, faith, , hope' and Christ'ian love. Your, key to survival is, your religion lived to the full.

Their lives had been emptied of meaning and they were sadly disillusioned. As they walked along, Jesus joined them, but they were unable to recognize him. He sensed their sadness and asked what was troubfing them. They poured out to the stranger what had occurred and how they felt. He listened with understanding. Then he began to help them make sense out of their experience in the light of the Scriptures. He recounted passages from the' prophets starting with Moses. From the Bible he helped recognize that the Christ had to die in order to live. Death Contains Seeds of Life He ted them to grasp something of the deep mystery of Jesus' life and of every life: death contains within it the seeds of life, and no life devel,ops without some dying. Already they began to feel some hope.

Communion Continued from Page Sixteen their ministry, if the practice was allowed. I have read many letters from laity terribly upset by the irreverence towards the Blessed Sacrament which supposedly this latest reform would promote. I, have seen surveys reporting a high percentage of Catholics opposed to Communion in the hand. It remains to be seen if and when the American bishops will consider this question again or what may be the outcome. But I think we should try to keep the controversy in perspective. Communion in the hand was the more co.mmon method during Christianity's first millenium. Both the hand and the tongue have been consecrated and made a new creation through baptism; one is not holier than the other. Communion in the hand, especially with the larger, more substantial altar breads called for by the revised Roman Missal, may prove an even more reverent procedure than ou'r customary practice of placing the Eucharist on a person's tongue. Need for Proper Instruction Do we have any data from countries where this has been officially authorized? Yes. Father Leonard Sullivan, director of Canada's National Liturgical Of· fice, indicates that at parishes in which proper instruction has been offered, 95 per cent of the congregation spontaneously elect , Communion in the hand. The rector of Toronto's cathe. dral, a typical, downtown, inner city church with a good number of senior citizens, calls this the quietest introduction of any liturgical innovation in the past decade. He stood outside after all eight Masses on the first day of implementation to catch parishioner's comments. Not one complaint. But many, compliments, including the tearful observation of an 80-year-old man that this was the most moving Communion of his life. Discussion Questions I. Why is Communion in the ha'nd not a standard practice at this time in the United States? 2. What preparation should a parish have before Communion in the hand is introduced?

As the sun set over, Emmaus, the disciples' invited the stranger to dinner with them. At the meal, they recognized him "in the breaking of the bread." They recognized that he was alive, that he was with them, that he had been alive and with them even when they did no't recognize him. Joy filled their lives and they returned to Jerusalem to their friends to take up their lives anew. " Faith in his presence is deepened through the ability to read and interpret signs of his lifegiving presence. As, along the Emmaus road an~ at the. Em· maus inn, the chief signs remain the Eucharist, the Scriptures, and human fellowship or love. But there are countless other signs of his life-giving presence with us. Spring Suggests Life The green leaf spoke to fue dying woman of Dachau. The emergence of new life in Springtime after the bleak months of Winter suggests the presence of the giver of life.

Says Guidelines Need Revsion DUBUQUE (NC) - Guidelines for U. S. seminary formation which the nation's bishops made public on March 23 already need updating, a theologian, who helped write them said here. ' Father 'C1etus Wessels, Domin· iean priest who is dean of theology at Aquinas Institute in Dubuque, said things are happening so rapidly in the Church "that much of what is contained in these guidelines is in Ileed of revision." . Father Wessels, who helped edit preliminary drafts of guideline sections on theological cur· riculum and ecumenism, said the document "is based on a view of the Church which sees the seminary geared primarily to educat· ing priests for Catholic parishes." He noted that "the concept of ministry is undergOing profound changes," and said guideline reo visions should say more about "the broader ministry." Open to Change The U: S. Program of Priestly Formation, developed to fulfill a Vatican Council II directive that each country in the world prepare an official seminary program, makes specific provision for revision in its preface. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J. Grady of Chicago, chairman of the U. S. bishops' priestly forma. tion co~mittee, said the document "is open to change and evolvement." , "The program has been approved by the Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education for a period' of five years," Bishop Grady said. ':After that time, in the light of experience and of changing circumstances, the program will be adjusted and reo vised."

Cardinal Resigns VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI accepted the resignation of Cardinal James C. McGuigan of Toronto. The Vatican press office said that Cardinal McGuigan, 76, had extended his resignation "quite a while ago" because o'f his ill health and age.

vATI'CAN CITY (NC) - The Pontifical Marian Academy will hold two congresses devoted' to Mary in Yugoslavia next August. The academy, which organizes, international Marian meetings in various parts of the world, announced that it will hold the sixth Mariological congress Aug. 6-11 at Zagreb, to be followed immediately by the 13th Marian congress in the same city Aug: 12-15. The possibilhy of holding religious congresses in Yugoslavia today points up the improvement, of relations between the Church and the communist regime of President Josip Broz (Tito),who visited Pope Paul VI at the Vatican. It is rumored that Tito will invite the Pope to attend the congresses, or part of them, However, there has been no official confirmation of these rumors.
