Easter Message Dearly beloved in Christ, We celebrate today the great Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Blessed Lord from the dead. And what a glorious Feast it is for the whole believing People of God! Jesus, the Lamb of God who was slain for our sins, has broken the chains of sin and death and has risen triumphantly from the tomb. As the Scriptures tell us with great excitement: Do not look for the living One among the dead. He has been raised up, exactly as he promised!

By his death on the cross, Christ has destroyed the power of death

forevE~r.

Where the darkness of sin had

prevailed, the light of grace now shines. Through his resurrection from the dead, the Savior has restored to mankind the hope and promise of everlasting life. This is Easter!

This is the wondrous mystery theit we celebrate today. The Christian Community should, fittingly, say "Thanks be to God" on this festive

da~y.

It is, indeed, a "day the Lord has

made," and a cau:se of great rejoicing for each believer and for the Universal Church as well.

Easter also reminds us that we must walk in the light of Christ and live continually the new life of grace which he won for us by his cross and resurrection. And so, today, the Church invites us to renew the promises of our Baptism, to reject sin and to recommit ourselves to the faithful service of Almighty God in his holy Catholic Church.

As we celebrate this wonderful day of our Lord's resurrection, I send to one and all throughout the Diocese prayerful wishes that the Risen Savior will shower blessings in abundance upon each of you and upon your parish

..

families. May the joy which dawned upon the world on the first Easter morning be yours this Easter and remain with you forever.

Faithfully yours in Christ,

Bishop of Fall River

Taking advantage of the rare coincidence of spring vacation with the annual convention of the National Catholic Educational Association, to be held next 'Monday through Thursday in New York City, 42 diocesan educators will attend the parley. .

Headed by Father George W. Coleman, diocesan director of education, they comprise other representative of the diocesan office, teachers and principals from elementary, middle and high schools, two seminarians and six religious educators.

"Catholic Education: A World of Difference" is the convention theme and to NCEA president John F. Meyers, that difference is definitely for the better. .In a preconvention interview, he said the purpose of Catholic schools "is to eliminate evils in the world. Someone has to start somewhere and I don't know if anyone is succeeding as well as Catholic schools."

The convention will include elementary and secondary education workshops along with session on religious, seminary and special education.

Among speakers will be Archbishop Helder Camara of Brazil, opera star Beverly Sills, sociologist Father Andrew Greeley, spiritual wrjiter Father Henril Nouwen and scripture scholar Father Raymond Brown.

The secret of exisistence of Catholic schools is their quality, Father Meyers said. He said the Catholic school is different because it teaches the Christian message, is a community of faith and is of service to both the individual and the .rest of society.

"One of the great achievements of Catholic schools is their responsibility for the upward mobility of Catholics and Cath· olic immigrants in particular. It's one of the great glories of the Catholic school and one that is

very little recognized in church and in society," he said. ,Father Meyers cited results of research done by Father Andrew Greeley on "The Success of Catholic Schools in Education of Racial Minorities," which will be presented at the convention.

There are more minority students and more non-Catholics in parochial schools than ever. he said.

The research shows that there is an effect on students "that can only be explained by Catholic schools, an effect that doesn't take place in public schools," he said.

Catholic schools recognize that their goals include more than academic achievement, he said.

"Their goal is not just to cope with the present world but to change the world."

According to Father Meyers, Catholic schools are doing their job well. After a decline in enrollment they are now getting a higher percentage of available Catholic children of early elementary school age. "They're learning to cope with financial difficulties and the parents are willing to make sacrifices" to send their children to parochial schools.

However, ·Father Meyers said he sees a need for schools to improve personnel policies and practices "to be sure we treat them as human beings. We need to respect the dignity of teachers as well as students."

Following the convention, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Monday, April 27, the NCEA will sponsor a one-hour cable and satellite television program of meeting highlights.

Student anchorpersons and news reporters will interview convention speakers and tour the ·large educational exhibit area, demonstrating values of Catholic education througn their own participation in the event, said NCEA officials.

N. Attleboro school move St. Mary-Sacred Heart Consolidated School, North Attleboro, will move in September from its present quarters in the former St. Mary's School on Broad Street to the former Sacred Heart School on Richards Avenue.

The change, announced to members of St. Mary's and Sacred Heart parishes last weekend, was made with a view toward lowering maintenance and repair costs and lessening energy needs.

At the time the Consolidated School opened in 1972 it had an enrollment of nearly 500 pupils, necessitating use of the larger St. Mary's facility. The present enrollment of 279 pupils makes it feasible to use the smaller Sacred Heart building.

Commenting on the move, said Rev. George W. Coleman, diocesan director of education, "This will enable the school to confront, in a realistic manner, the challenge of offering.a.qual". ity educa~ion at reasonable cost.

Catholic education in North

Attleboro is strengthened by the school's transfer to new premises."

Rev. Roger D. Leduc, pastor of Sacred Heart parish, will direct the school in its new location. Frank Ricci is principal.

Associate pastor Upon the recommendation of the Very Reverend William B. Davis, SS,CC., Provincial of the Sacred Hearts Fathers, the Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D. has appointed the Rev· erend Felix A. Lesnek, 55.CC., associate pastor at St. Joseph's Church, Fairhaven effective yesterday.

Father Lesnek was a barber and served in the Navy during World War II before entering the Sacred Hearts community.

Ordained in 1953, he served in Japan and then was mission procurator at the Sacred Hearts provincial house in Fairhaven.

For the past 10 years he has been a chaplain at Tufts New England Medical Center, reside ing at St. James Church, Boston.

the living word

Resurrected Hope If there is a spiritual renewal underway in the church, and many believe this to be the case, there is no better time to reflect upon it than during the season of resurrection. For it is in this very act of divinity that human hope springs eternal. '

There are those mournful spirits who never leave the tomb of their own obscurity and who cry daily that man is evil and all the world is in darkness. Seemingly, in some areas of church life there are contemporary Montanists who feel that only excessive rigorism will purge and save modern man. They ate spiritual manic-depressives who really feel that hope is beyond their human grasp.

This mind is always ready to condemn anything that smacks of the "new."

Fortunately for all, such wails of damnation are fast becoming mere echoes. The church today is blessed with the ever-growing belief that things really do go better with路 hope. With hope, people once more dare to dream.

With reassured faith the people of God openly and unabashedly gather to pray and praise. The shapes and forms of what some might think is avant spirituality are really nothing new. Marriage Encounter, Cursillo and the charismatic renewal are no more than reflections of a believing people.

To be sure, as history has taught us, there will be enthusiast:s and a few fruit cakes. However, the vast majority of people who come together to share prayer and the sacraments are devoted and loyal sons and daughters of the church.

Make no mistake about it, their number is growing.

During the past season of Lent it has been obvious that more and more parishes are offering, conducting and sharing ongoing spiritual programs that would have been unthinkable amid the confusion of the generation just past.

What is very noticeable is the number of young people who are searching and asking about the Lord and His Word in a way that would confoUIid and eonfu~e the remnants of both the Abby Hoffmans on the one hand and the Moonies on the other.

Oh, they might wear jeans and sweatshirts. They might sing funny songs and speak an unknown jargon. Yet they are coming slowly, hesitantly but surely to believe that .there is something more to life that what they have been previously told.

This is Easter hope, this is resurrection reality, this is the joy of faith.

Could it be possible that the church will once more witness a renewal which will rescue many of our baptized Catholics from the doldrums of spiritual inactivity? Are we once more to be a regenerated people that will dare to walk to Emmaus? Will this small stream of hopeful people flow into a mighty river that will indeed renew the face of the earth?

These questions are the dreams of resurrected hope.路

Spring - a Christian reminder

By Father Johrn Tracy Ellis Lecturer in Church History Catholic University of America

We live in an age that has a.ll but abandoned - in the public domain - a belief in the immortality of the soul, in the doctrine of an afterlife of eternal happiness or punishment, and in the sobering virtues that find their source in those beliefs. The principal emphasis of our timeagain in the public domain so faithfully reflected in the media - is rather upon hedonistic slo. gans such as "doing one's own thing," the allure of the "now generation," and a score of other mindless catch phrases. By these, a spirituality impoverished society seeks to substitute traditional moral values by encouraging the young to seek immediate pleasure, as Pope John Paul II told the youth of Ireland at Galway on September 30, 1979.

The pontiff asked: "How many young people have already warp. ed their consciences and have substituted the true joy of life with drugs, sex, and alcohol, vandalism and the empty pursuit of mere material possessions?"

While any realistic appraisal of contemporary society must induce a somber assessment, Easter is preeminently the feast of Christian hope, and in that spirit the teachers and students of Catholic elementary and secondary schools are heirs of a vein of optimism that stems from a belief in the resurrection of the Master. By virtue of their belief in that supreme fact - regardless of the daunting circum-

stances of schools in this new decade of the 1980s - they will not surrender to an attitude of discouragement. As Cardinal Newman once expressed it, "Gloom is no Christian temper."

It is not, indeed, nor can it ever be, if one is loyal to the belief embodied in the simple statement of Cardinal George Basil Hume, Archbishop of Westminster, when he said, "I believe in the empty tomb." 路From the inauguration of Catholic schools in the United States nigh to two centuries ago, through the impetus afforded by St. Elizabeth Seton in her little school o路pened at Emmitsburg, Maryland in 1810, the schools of the American Church have never known a more trying and debilitating experience than that which overtook them beginning c. 1966. It is a familiar story to readers of Notes, and nothing would be gained by retelling it here. Allowing, then, for the negative factors at work among Catholic schools today, there are decidedly positive factors as well. The popularity of the Church's schools among nonCatholic Americans is a testimony that bears witness tQ the altogether worthwhile character of these schools - to say nothing of the high imperative of ~ training in moral values which they impart, the striking discipline they inculcate in contrast to other schools, and the numerous outstanding products who come forth from Catholic schools each year to enrich the student bodies of American colleges and universities, and ultimately the body

politic of the Republic.

Should some teachers in the Catholic schools feel discouraged on occasion at the handicaps and obstacles that bear down upon them and their young charges, let them take heart in the fact that the history of the Universal Church is a series of high and low points, of a constimt ebb and flow that has often shown an amazing recovery from periods of depression, indeed, at times a startling resurgence after what appeared to be a virtual extinction. Let the magnificent refulgence of Catholic faith and activity in France after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte (1815) in contrast to the virtual annihilation of the French Church during the 1790s, illustrate what is meant. Numerous other exampIes could be cited of similar reo covery, reform, and resilience.

In the spirit of Eastertide "we can well heed Cardinal Newman's words in the famous sermon of "The Second Spring," when he said: We mourn over the blossoms of May, because they are to wither; but we know, withal, that May is one day to have its revenge upon November, by the revolution of that solemn circle which never stops which teaches us in oar height of hope, ever to be sober, and in our depth of desolation, never to despair.

E~Ls·ter Easter is here. Away with Lent, gloom, and i~trospec­ tion. On with smiles, love and celebration.

Easter is hope. It is God's reminder that he is waiting for us, that the darkness of Ll~nt like the darkness of life is temporary, and the meaning of our existence lies in the resurrection of his son.

It is hope for the family as well, a renewal of promise, a new beginning of living out his Word together, of bringing out the goodness and love in our households of faith.

Easter is fun. It is decorated eggs, hunts, baskets, vacation, ham, lilies, patent leather shoes, proud little boys in unc:omfortable ties, family get·togethers, and laughter. It gathers up the remnants of Lent and buries them properly until another season of purple.

Nuclear questions Long before the 19';'9 crisis at Three Mile Island, America's nuclear energy policy was the subject of intense debate. And off to one side another debate was also going strong: whether religious groups had the expertise - and the right - 'to plunge headlong into the inquiry over questions surrounding atomic power.

While neither of thOSE~ debates has yet been resolved, the churches have continued. at least to question the wisdom of increased reliance on nuc:lear energy. The latest examp1le is the U.S. bishops' newly released statement on the energy crisis issued in early April.

Back in 1976 the National Council of Churches, the umbrella organization for 32 Protestant and Orthodox dominations, called for a moratorium on the development of plutonium-dependent nuclear energy, saying that a "plutonium economy" would be "morally indefensible and technically objectionable."

The statement was promptly criticized by a top feder:ill energy oftical, who said discernment of ethical and technical questions in nuclear energy was "a Solomon's task" not well suited for church participation.

That didn't stop the NCC, which two months after Three Mile Island called for an energy policy which would not utilize nuclear fission. The possibilities of permanent damage to the environment and to thc~ human genetic pool were cited as reasons for such a drastic reversal.

At about the same time a U.S. bishops' committee began exploring the possibility of developing a Catholic reflE:ction on the energy crisis and consultations bringing together energy experts from citizens' groups and the energy industry WE~re held.

What resulted waSil 10,000word statement (plus footnotes) exploring all aspects of the en-

ergy debate. Some 700 words were devoted specifically to nuclear fission.

As everyone knows, atomic energy is fier~ely controversial, remarked the statement. "Many uncertainties surround this com· plex technology, and both proand anti-nuclear advocates seem prone to exaggerate claims, creating an atmosphere in which rational public discussion is difficult."

The statement said individuals can disagree "in good faith" on the course of nuclear policy and added that proposals to increase the reliance on nuclear power or to abandon the nuclear option both involve risks.

"While nuclear energy is not evil in itself, it can do great evil," the statement continued.

"The consequences of a core meltdown or an accident involving 'hot' wastes could be catastrophic, far outweighing any good society derives from the electricity fission could supply ...

"If the defenders of nuclear power are to prevail, they must be able to demonstrate its safety beyond reasonable doubt," the statement said.

The section on nuclear fission concluded by caIHng for referendums on nuclear power to ascertain better citizen opinion on the issue. "At the very least, responsible leaders of various persuasions would have the chance to educate people on the choices they faced, helping dispel the mythology and reduce the tensions that cloud the nuclear issue."

Elsewhere, the statement defends church involvement in the debate over nuclear and other forms of energy. Noting the threats of war over Middle Eastern oil and the requirement that technology be used in a moral and ethical manner, the statement says energy is an issue that will profoundly affect all segments of society.

By

JIM LACKEY

That won't end the debate over whether churches have the know-how to participate meaningfully in the debate over nuclear energy. But there are those outside the church who agree that moral issues such as the use of natural resources and the welfare of future generations can be better addressed when raised by the churches.

Observed one expert, "Such issues tend to get ignored when technocrats dominate the debate, so it may take the churches to tell ,us whether (nuclear fission) is a gift from God or a temptation from the devil."

I was late for the shooting of President Reagan. I had- room had been a place of purintended to hear him speak pose and kindness, people talking in low voices, bringing each to the Building Trades Con- other coffee, urging each other

vention, but was detained at a lunch for three Irish clergymen who had come here to beg America's help in halting the violence in their country.

They yearned for a meeting with the president, they said. He had endorsed a new organization called Friends of Ireland; they hoped he would give it another push, halt the flow of arms.

By the time I got to the Washington Hilton about 2:30 p.m., I could see that something was wrong. A policeman stood at the intersection of Florida and Connecticut Avenues, and six police cars, sirens screaming, raced by.

I started down the curving slope by the side entrance, as two police cars backed up at full speed, and two ambulances roared through. The space under the portico looked like an amphitheater of emergency, police everywhere, shouting orders, slamming doors, pushing people behind ropes. The red jackets of the Marine Band blazed out of the scene. They were standing in loose order in the middle of the driveway, out of the drizzle.

Why were they there?

Four knots of men, three crouching over bodies, the fourth a struggling mass near the canopied entrance that presidents use. The obvious never crossed my mind. Someone, no, several people had had heart attacks.

There had been a traffic accident, a bomb scare. I asked a pleasant black man what was going on.

"Someone shot at the president," he said. "But he's OK, he's gone back to the White House."

1 was not allowed to go down the hill to the little covered island where my colleagues were.

I later learned that John Hinckley Jr. allegedly had fired from across the sidewalk.

Everyone agreed that the president had not been shot. He was safe at the White House. They had seen his car speed off.

I was sure of it. It wouldn't have made any sense, I thought, forgetting all I had learned since Nov. 22, 1963. Ronald Reagan had been in office only 70 days.

Yes, his policies alarmed and unnerved some. But he was a nice man, and nothing irretrievable had happened. It was too soon.

Once I got into my head that Ronald Reagan had indeed been shot, I slipped back into the assassination mode, the routine learned on iNov. 22, 1963.

Go to the paper, sit by the television, watch anatomical charts, listen to lore about blood and bullets, switch channels, wonder what to say.

On Nov. 22, 1963, the news-

to go home. We knew we were lucky, we had something to do while the rest of the world sat sobbing at the TV. The night of March 30 was easy by comparison; we had relief and gratitude by 7 p.m., not a horror that has never left some minds.

"Can you imagine what it would have been like if that bullet had been a few inches closer?" said a colleague as we drove up Connecticut Avenue the following evening in the golden glow of a flawless spring twilight.

"Can you imagine what it would be like if he had died?" my friend asked.

"I don't have to imagine it," .I said. "I was here for Kennedy's funeral. It was splendid. Jackie Kennedy was magnificent. She arranged everything, she held the country together. I' never want to see another presidential funeral as long as I live."

I remembered the lament of his heartbroken people - Kennedy had only a thousand days.

Reagan had had only 70. I could feel the rage and grief of his people, who had waited a lifetime for one of their own to take power and "turn the country around" - the echo of Kennedy's promise.,

By Wednesday, everything was back to normal. We had been delivered, and things began to unfold in a familiar way. A Senate investigation into the conduct of the Secret Service began - much inhibited by the heroism of agent Jim McCarthy, who, as the country saw over and over, in slow motion, had, at the first shot, wl)irled around and hurled himself against the fire.

The debate over gun control resumed, with everyone speaking their accustomed lines: House Speaker Tip O'Neill saying there was no chance. The president's best friend, Sen. Paul Laxalt, saying he didn't think much would be accomplished by banning handguns, with so many already in circulation. Rep. John Ashbrook of Ohio warning against "a knee-jerk response" to the shooting.

We seemed at once to become resigned to the possibility of another March 30. And we must be, apparently, unless President Reagan changes his mind about the right to bear arms. Or unless his wife decides that she does Qot want to dash to a hospital· again, not knowing whether her husband is dead or alive.

If that doesn't hliPpen, this new trip to the edge of the abyss will have availed us nothing.

ous scientific tests, including spectrographic analysis.

The Shroud of Turin shows a negative image of a man with indications of wounds on the head, hands, feet and side that correspond to those the Gospel accounts say Jesus suffered.

For many, the negative reversal of the image on the shroud, the history of which can be documented to the 14th century, long before photography existed, is a convincing argument against the .theory of an elaborate medieval fraud.

In another study, criminologist Max Frei reported on two years of pollen testing on shroud samples. The testing, said Frei, revealed pollen from certain desert plants, now extinct, which grew in Palestine and Turkey at the time of Christ.

Frei, a veteran of 40 years with the crime squad o~ Zurich, Switzerland, is an expert on pollen studies. He said he found 56 varieties of pollen on the shroud, In earlier studies he had con· c1uded that the 14-foot shroud was about 2000 years old and had come from the Palestine area.

The Swiss criminologist said he found no traces of paint or coloring on the material. He therefore dismissed claims of critics that the image could have been painted on the shroud in later centuries.

Frei also found traces of ointment made from a type of aloe plant which grovtls only on' 'the island of Socotra, off the coast of South Yemen.

Biblical texts say that ointment from Socotran aloe plants was applied to corpses before burial.

Workers get papal ear VATICAoN CIlY (NC) - Despite Vatican economic problems, "it is fair that the worker receive a just compensation" Pope John Paul II told 39 representatives of about 1,500 Vatican lay employees at a long meeting in the Vatican's Throne Hall.'

The major result of the meeting was a Vatican agreement to reduce working hours from 42 to 39 a week. The work week will eventually be reduced to 36 hours for all employees. , At a preliminary meeting with Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, papal secretary of state, the association had won five of its demands, including greater bene· fits for workers' dependents and priority hiring of dependents to fill empty Vatican posts.

In an address to the pope, Mariano .cerullo of Vatican Radio, president of the association, outlined the workers' three major areas of complaint: - "Respect for the dignity of employees by the Vatican in the light of the social doctrine of the church and the teachings of the pope."

- General reform of the regulations governing employees, who are now divid~d into four administrative sections, each with different rules.

- A wage system "which takes into account professionalism and responsibility in addition to the real cost of living."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur. April 16, 1981

By Father John F. Moore Permanent DiaconatEI Director

This series of articl(~s is offered to our readers to further a responsible view of the married cleric in today's church as reflected in the perm:ment diaconate.

As the diaconate becomes a reality in the local church, it is quite evident everyone has to make adjustments.

Given the nature of the American church, there is a growing realization that an individual deacon is not a permanent local mobile, a fixture. Deacons matter that has yet to be seriously considered in plrograms or reflected in church policy. Very often employed deacons mllst •.•..,;v .. from place to place because of their work, and, as has been noted, family and job have priority over ministry.

This fact can be II cause of concern in the church commun· ity. Stability has long been a characteristic of clerics in the Western Church. The long ago days of the itinerant cleric and the wandering monk certainly caused problems eventually corrected by the Council of Trent.

Since that time clerics have been as it were "put in their place," and diocesan priests are ordained with. the knowledge that they will serve in a given .area.

Since the vast majority of deacons are ordained for a diocese and not in a religiO\:.s order, it might be assumed that they would share stability of location like the priests. This is the ideal.

However, in the practical order of things, morEl and more deacons are moved from place to place not by a bishop but by

are

a company president. And under present guidelines a deacon's job comes first.

This situation plays havoc with the stability to which the church has been accustomed in this country. What complicates the matter further is that many deacons are unfamiliar with the canon law concerning incardina· tion and excardation, the rules as to diocese of residence and/or service of an ordained person.

One of the difficulties concerning the diaconate on a national level is the void in this area. As a result, there are a great number of deacons who -have been transferred from their place of ordination and are officially unaccounted for even by the na· tional office. So, in addition to ---'i-ing that a deacon must support his family and is not employed by a diocese, people must understand the problems associated with mobility.

The factor of mobility is further complicated by the vast differences in diaconal training programs. It seems that while adhering to the general spirit of the national guidelines, each diocese has de factor developed its own training program. .

These programs differ vastly in spirit, intent and content and because of this, one cannot assume that deacons from other dioceses would have the same training as a deacon for example, from the Fall River diocese.

Again, no real criteria have been developed in this matter, which is yet another area of con· cern which should be addressed in order that deacons and their dioceses might be able to develop the rapport of security and trust that is a sine qua non for ministry.

Parish family celebrates 75th birthday April 5 was a great day at St. Mary's, Seekonk. The Blakes, Coyles, Cutlers and Denises were there. So were the Duffys, Duforts, Fisks, Foleys and Governos, not to mention the Luizes, Murphys, Ousleys, Parkers, Poiriers and 路Rocks, and not forgetting the Tanseys or the Vaslets.

Also a highlight was a mammoth display of pictures gathered from attics and albums throughout the parish, recording highlights of those 75 years..

He served the parish until 1931, when Father John P. Clarke became St. Mary's administrator. Father McGee, 80, was named pastor emeritus and resided in the former gym building, converted to apartments, until his death three years later.

Succeeding him, in 1941, was Father Dennis W. Harrington, who founded the Women's Guild, directed a church renovation drive and encouraged sports among Pllrish youth. From 1944 to 1947 Father Thomas F. Fitzgerald served as pastor, piloting his people through the sorrowful closing days of World War I.I. From 1947 to 1956 the parish was served by Father George A. Lewin, a special friend of youth and the founder of St. Mary's unit of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Parish growth and deterioration of the original church building also led him to initiate a fund drive for a new building.

He was succeeded in 1955 by Father Cornelius J. Keliher who proceeded with construction of the new church, which was dedicated May 30, 1957. Father Keliher also founded the 'Holy Name Society, a Nocturnal Adoration Society and a CYO group whose members, as well as all area high school students, en-

HAPPY EASTER? HERE'S HOWl THE HOLY FATHER'S MISSION AID TO THE ORIENTAL CHURCH

GIVE SOME HAPPINESS TO

A CHILD

When are you happiest? Happiness lies in giving.

You're happiest when you give yourself to the people who need you most. ... A mother, for instance, hums with happiness when she bathes and dresses her baby. A good nurse always has time for a smile. Good fathers whistle at their work....

The best sort of giving involves more than writing checks - still, how better can you help the children now who need you overseas? Boys and girls who are blind, lepers, deaf·mutes, orphans - your money gifts, large and small, will feed them, teach, cure them, give them a chance in life.... Want to be happier this Easter? Give some happiness to a child, you'll be happy, too!

...•• HAPPINESS IS SPONSORING

A SISTER

In Erumathala, south India, a young Indian girl in training to be a Sister of the Destitute will learn, among other things, how to care for orphans. Her training costs $300 all told ($12.50 a month, $150.00 a year), a small investment for Sister's lifetime of service. Like to be her sponsor? We'll send you her name and she will write to you.

.......

HAPPINESS ISA HOME OF THEIR OWN

HAPPINESS IS CLOTHING

For only $300 in Ernakulam you can build a decent house for a family that now sleeps on the sidewalks. Simply send your check to us. Cardinal Parecattil will write to thank you also.

...••

.

Brighten the heart of a blind child in the Gaza Strip (where Samson lived). $5 gives shoes, $10 a set of braille readers, $25 clothes!

....

•• HAPPINESS IS TO BE EDUCATED

Where there is none in south India, you can build a six·room permanent school for only $4,000.

Archbishop Mar Gregorios will select the village, supervise construction and write to thank you. The children will pray for you, and you may name the school for you favorite saint, in your loved ones' memory!

screaming at Mark to no avail.

A. You have an unusually active 20-month-old. Apparently he has not heard about the nationai energy shortage: You sound like a good mother, but to control this youngster you are going to have to be a great mother.

U's not that hard. Review the four D's: drugs, diet, discipline and diversion.

It is easy to advise you on drugs. Don't give him any. Your physician has already ruled out brain damage, which is a part of true hyperactivity. In addition, Mark is too young for drugs like Ritalin and Cylert, which are commonly prescribed for this disorder.

Make sure he is not getting other drugs such as caffeine. No sips of coffee. iNo soft drinks with caffeine {always read the labels). Are you giving him vitamins with fluorides? Some allergic reactions have been linked to fluorides, and you might consider eliminating them for a time to see what happens.

Diet is ·another area to control.

Eliminate white sugar (on his cereal), candy, cookies, cake, pie, ice cream, etc. Instead, give him fresh fruits and whole-grain bread snacks. Also eliminate foods like luncheon meats with artificial dyes and preservatives.

For further information, consult the book by Ben Feingold, M.D., "Why Your Child Is Hyperactive" (Random House, 1974).

Discipline is the third D. Concentrate on physical. discipline, which does not mean spanking but does mean keeping your mouth closed. With young children most of what you say is worse than useless. It actually reinforces "bad" behavior by providing too much attention for energetic mischief.

Instead of screaming, try three very simple types of physical discipline:

The Ready falnily would appreciate your patronage, We sell fine hOlne furnishings and oriental rugs.

(During the Lenten season all purchases accompanied with this ad will have a donation of 10% m your name to the Catholic Charities.)

First, childproof your home and his play area as much as possible. Restrict his movement to these areas as you tried to do with the fenced in yard, and allow him to energize in peace (his and yours) in places where he can do little harm.

Second, wear him out if you can. Take time to play with him in the basement or outside places where he can run and jump and be physical.

Third, control him by physical holding. Restrain him with your arms. When he is too rambunctious, hold him on your lap for a minute. In a soothing, repetitive voice, speak about what a nice boy he is and how much his mommy loves him.

The final D is diversion - for you. Hire a teen-ager to babysit after school daily for just one-half hour. Each afternoon use this brief period to walk, jog, ride a bike, go shopping, read, take a nap, pray - whatever will relax and refresh you.

To summarize, make sure Mark is not stimulated by drugs or diet. Try the physical approaches mentioned. Take a daily break yourself. If you keep in shape, you may soon be able to catch up with your son.

Questions on family living and child care are invited.. Address to the Kennys c/o The Ancltor, P.O. Box 7, Fall River Mass.

Our bodies

By Father John J. Castelot

o

St. Paul had his hands full in Cornith. The city was a typical seaport, open to all sorts of people ~:nd ideas.

Since the Christian community was made up of a broad cross section of this society, it is not surprising that its members espoused a wide variety of ideas. often expressed in catchwords and slogans.

It is important to keep this in mind when reading the first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 6:12-29. Several statements in these verses are not Paul's. He is quoting back to the people their slogans and refuting thefr ideas. It is a sort of conversation between Paul and the advocates of certain unacceptable ideas.

Paul's responses begin like this: "Do you not see?" "Can you not see?" "You must know."

The first slogan he discusses is this: "Everything is lawful for me."

Paul may have said this when instructing them on their freedom from the prescriptions of the Old Law. But they misinterpreted his words, applying them especially to sexual immorality.

Paul agrees that the slogan is true in its proper context. But pushed beyond that, it is vicious nonsense. If one does everything one pleases, the rights of others are abused and one is enslaved to pagan values.

The next slogan is: "Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will do away with them both in the end."

In other words, what we do with our bodies is morally neutral, proved by the fact that God permits their ultimate dissolution.

The only sins then are those committed by "souls" that is, through attitudes, motives and the like. Paul countered this idea.

He insisted on the imoortance of the body, also the object of God's creative love and essential to our integral humanity.

Furthermore, the body helps us love creatively. There are no "indifferent" sexual relations.

They are meant to be an act of creative love, creating a lasting bond between two human beings.

Our bodies are "members of Christ:' Sexual relations with a prostitute are not creative but destructive, reducing a human being to a thing. Once again, Paul quotes one of the Corinthian's favorite catchwords: "Every sin a man commits is outside his body:" (Note here, if your Bible says "every other sin," this is a mistranslation; the word, "other," does not appear in the original text.)

Again Paul insists that sin is not just "outside his body:' The fornicator does in fact sin against his body and with his body.

Finally Paul reminds the Corinthians that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, continuing the witness which Christ gave in his physical humanity.

know your faith A Gospel dramatized

By Father John J. O'Callaghan,

S.J.

I was celebrating Mass: Sud· denly there was a commotion along the side aisle.

When I got there, people were bending over a middle-aged parishioner stretched out on a pew.

He was having a heart attack, it appeared. Luckily several doctors were present and the man was carried into the sacristy and given help while awaiting the emergency squad.

We continued Mass. As providence would have it, the Gospel told of a healing miracle of Jesus and my homily dealt with the sickness we all experience, spiritual or physical or both, and

The

about our need of the Lord's healing power.

I was keenly aware of the attention of the whole congregation. My homily was no more inspired than usual; my message no more startling or original.

But talking about illness to a group which has just seen sudden sickness is a surefire success formula. Before I even began to speak. their awareness had been raised in a way and to a degree that I could never hope to equal.

I'd be willing to bet that my words that day went deeper and stayed longer than usual because they tapped a dramatic life experience.

That says something to me

worl~s

By Father Philip J. Murnion There are no easy answers to the dilemmas that can arise for Christians who begin in earnest to promote social justice in their own communities.

Yet active concern for the poor, the lonely, homeless children, the sick, and the many others who lack something genuinely vital to their lives proves that we take seriously the commandment of Jesus to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Actually, work for social justice holds a privileged place among the activities of the church because it was so important a part of the work of Jesus

of social

about getting motivated for social ministry. I know the standard response: "It's hard enough to cope with my own life and family. How can I worry about social ministry too?"

I find this understandable, for most parishioners have enormous demands on personal time.

Jobs, family and home needs, even church activities, leave little enough time - unless awareness of need is such that it forces us to make time.

Once I taught in a suburban high school near a large city. I was astonished to find that many students had been in the inner city only once. or ·twice in their lives. Their insulation from povTurn to page thirteen

during his ministry on earth.

Jesus regarded the care of real people with real needs as a measUre of discipleship. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me, he said. Accordingly, many parishes and their people regard commitment to human needs as an important sign of the faith.

How can today's parishes and their people carry out the mandate of Jesus? Building the kind of foundation that will support a parish's efforts for justice will very likely mean: - Finding ways to care for

one another in parishes, and, as a consequence, becoming con· scious of the injustices people suffer; - Developing an awareness that our gifts are to be used for the service of God and neighbor; - Learning to count human relationships as more important than material possessions.

Many questions arise, however, when we try to decide how to work for social justice in our complicated world.

What, fQr example, is the relationship between charity and public welfare assistance? What does it mean to work for equal Turn to Page Thirteen

St. Stephen Parish is in a highly populated part of San Antonio, Texas. It numbers 1,300 Catholic families, many of them Mexican-American.

It is a parish concerned with social justice in involving more people in parochial life.

One parishioner, Janie Dillard, explains: "If the people don't come to church, then we have to go to them." She and her husband, a permanent deacon, work in programs which reach into the lives of parishioners and beyond parish boundaries.

Monthly, the Dillards, parish staff members and other lay leaders, visit 25 to 30 nomes to distribute information about parish services to both Catholics and non- Catholics.

People in need of food or financial assistance can turn to the Community Services Organization which Mrs. Dillard represents on the parish council. The organization often aids residents of the San Juan Housing Project, a large low-income project where perhaps half St. Stephen's people live.

Mrs. Dillard explains. "Sometimes," says Mrs. Dillard "we work directly with tenants by giving them foo~, paying ~.edi­ cal bills or subsiaizing rent."

The associate pastor, Father Don Currie. also works at the project, helping residents recognize their rights and responsibilities and encouraging them to develop their own leadership.

St. Stephen's works closely with five neighboring parishes in the Westside Parish Coali· tion.

St. Stephen's pastor, Father Paul Raaz, says, "It has been the spirit of the coalition to leave no real need unaddressed." Its major contribution to date has been establishment of a Center of Ministry to train people as Turn to Page Thirteen 0

Paul and Barnabas spent some time in the city of Derbe preach· ing the good news about Jesus.

Many people became followers or disciples of Jesus.

In Derbe Paul and Barnabas faced a big decision. Should they go on to Paul's home in Tarsus?

Or should they go back to Lystra and Iconium? A trip to Tarsus would probably be pleasant and safe. A return to Icon[um and Lystra might be very dangerous.

"Let's go back to ·Lystra and Iconium," said Paul. "The Christian communities there need our help:' "Are you serious, Paul?" Barnabas asked. "We have enemies in both cities. If we go back, they may try to kill us," "I know the dangers," Paul replied quietly, "but we need to help our fellow Christians in those cities. They are suffering much."

Barnabas agreed and they reTurn to Page Thirteen

Cristo realiza a obra de reden9ao dos homens e da perfeita glorifica9ao de Deus sobretudo pelo Seu misterio pascal, pelo qual, morrendo destruiu a nossa morte, ressuscitando, restaurou a vida. Por isso, 0 Sagrado Triduo Pascal da Paixao e Ressurrei9ao do Senhor brilha como 0 vertice de todo 0 ana liturgico. o lugar eminente que 0 domingo tern na semana, tern-no a Solenidade da Pascoa no ana liturgico.

Pascoa, no entanto, nao e apenas urn dia, mas a celebra9ao durn misterio que e a passagem deste mundo para 0 Pai, a morte e ressurrei9ao de Jesus.

Este misterio, celebra-o a Igreja ern tris dias no Triduo Pascal, acompanhando, entao, quase passo a passo, os acontecimentos historicos narrados nos Evangelhos. 0 triduo Pascal sao os tri~ dias Sexta-feira Santa, Sabado Santo e Domingo da Ressurrei9ao. Estes tris dias sao inseparaveis entre si, como indivisivel e 0 misterio que eles celebram. A Sexta-feira Santa e especialmente consagrada i morte do Senhor, 0 Sabado i sepultura, e 0 Domingo i ressurrei9ao; mas morte e ressurrei9ao sac urn misterio SCI, 0 da passagem deste mundo para 0 Pai, atraves da morte para a glria.

Nem a morte tern sentido, se nao con duz i ressurrei9ao, nem se pode chegar a esta senao passando por aquela.

A celebra9ao da Pascoa faz-se sobre tudo nos sacrCLmentos, porque celebrar a Pascoa, hoje, e participar na Pascoa de Cristo, e esta participa9ao faz-se fundamentetalmente na fe enos sacramentos da fee Os dois primeiros dias do Triduo, no entanto, Sexta-feira e Sabado, nao celebram os sacramentos, ern particular, a Eucaristia. f a sua caracteristica principal. Sao dias por isso chamados aliturgicos, isto e sem Eucaristia, por que a Eucarist:ia e sempre sinal de Festa. o sinal tradicional destes dias e o jejurn, 0 je:iurn pascal, a respeito do qual 0 Concilio se exprime assim: Seja coisa sagrada 0 jejurn pascal, a observar na Sexta-feira da Paixao e Morte do Senhor e, se for oportuno, a prolongar pelo Sabado .Santo, de modo que se chegue de cora9ao livre e aberto is alegrias do Domingo da Ressurrei9ao. , Estes sao os dias ern que 0 esposo esta ausente e ern que os' amigos do esposo jejuam. Este jejum e urna fome de comunhao corn a morte e supultura do Senhor, na expectativa da ressurrei9ao; por i'sso the chamam 0 jejurn escatologico.

Social ministry Continued from Page Twelve education, to counsel the doubtful, to shelter the homeless, to visit the imprisoned? What, in terms of nutrition and health services, does it mean to feed the hungry and to visit the sick?

These complicated questions are tied up with people's incomes, government services, taxes, unions, business and profits.

Again, Christians are challenged by the words of Jesus to the young man who was urged to sell all he had and give the money to the poor. But how does this admonition relate to a fact of life today: that a child's college education may cost upwards of $25,000?

As parishes consider social justice, what are some other points that will arise?

First, since Jesus defined one's neighbor as anyone in need, par·

For children Continued from page twelve turned to Lystra. The Christians there took careful steps to protect them from their enemies.

One evening the Christians in Lystra met in a large home, packed with people. Shades were drawn for security.

Paul reminded them of how much Jesus suffered. He promised them that their present pain would lead to happiness and a fuller life. Paul spoke also of Christians, like Stephen, who faced death bravely because of their trust in Jesus Christ.

Then Paul helped the people to organize themselves better.

He appointed several of the most able men as community leaders, called "presbyters."

They were responsible for teaching, preaching and leading prayer, especially the Eucharist.

They were to help the Christians grow as a cimmunity.

When the presbyters had been installed by Paul, he led the whole group in prayer and fasting. They begged the Lord to be with the presbyters, who trusted completely in him.

Later Paul and Barnabas set out for Iconium. There, too, they encouraged the Christians and appointed presbyters.

After their visits to Lystra and Iconium, Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch.

St. Stephen Continued from page twelve eucharistic ministers, lectors, parish council members, etc.

Parishioners also are active in Communities Organized for Public Service, a city-wide alliance of churches and civic groups that promotes accountability on the part of public officials.

Each week, 6 percent of the Sunday collection at St. Stephen's is set aside to support the work of COPS and the Community Services Organization.

St. Stephen parishioners Ore· spond to the needs of others with time, talents and money.

Mrs. Dillard says her own rewards have been great. "The relationships I've formed with so many people are invaluable. It's this which makes life full."

ishioners will want to identify and address real needs of people.

Second, since public institutions and government agencies play a role in serving needs, parishioners may wish to consider the strengths and weaknesses of those agencies.

Finally, parishes may want to assess their own potential and resources in terms of money, time and talent. Some may be surprised to find how great their resources are!

Maybe we need to reflect on our insulation and do something about it.

Being Number. One . By CeclUa Jlelanger

The day after the attempted assassination of the presiderit, I asked several youth what: they thought the reason for such an attempt would be.

All but one said "It makes the assassin feel important."

The other person said "People want to get rid of Reagan because he thinks you have to work for your living. They just want to sit around and get handouts from the government."

What are we willing to do to be "somebody?" Do the media enhance the criminal? Do they glamorize him, make him a folk . hero? Do we forget the victim in our concern for the criminal?

"This culture has no values," was a remark I heard the day of the shooting. "We don't need to go to war - we're already at war with one another," was another opinion.

It's like the Tower of Babel.

Those people too wanted to be important, numero uno.

It's too bad we don't want to be number one with a finger pointed towards God. How should we make a name for ourselves? Certainly not in bestiality, in blood, in dismemberment of fellow human beings.

Father John F. Moore, editor of The Anchor, in a recent editorial, "Chronic Criminats," suggested that "the judicial system should be completely overhauled arid investigated to determine why it cannot cope with the savages that roam our land."

He further noted "procedural delays, court overloads, lax bail standards, poor working relationships between judges and police departments, over-liberalized laws, crowded prisons, plea bargaining, inept lawyers and sloppy legal methodology."

tv, mOVIe news actor Sam Neill of "My Brilliant Career") grows desperate when he finds his days as Antichrist drawing to an end. For seven years, he has functioned as the all-powerful head of a vast multinational corporation, and no one seems to have noticed that he was Antichrist. We would take this as a wry comment on the morality of multinational corporations, but neither the lackluster script nor the plodding direction of this film is up to wry comments. So all we get is blood and gore with a touch of sadomasochistic sex and absurd theology, rating Band R classification.

"Modem Romance" (Columbia) An obsessive and insecure young film editor (Albert Brooks) breaks up with his girlfriend (Kathryn Harrold), becomes miserable, gets her back, drives her away again, becomes miser· able again, and so on. This is a sometimes very funny movie, but it suffers from a lack of structure and an excess of Brooks. Semi-nudity, occasional rough language, and a muddled view of sexual morality rate it A3, R.

Symbols following film reviews indicate both general and Catholic Film Office ratings, which do not always coincide.

General ratings: G-suitable for gen· eral viewing; PG-parental guidance sug· gested; R-restricted, unsuitable for children or younger teens.

Catholic ratings: Al-approved for children and adults; A2-approved for adults and adolescents; A3-approved for adults onlYi B-Gbjectionable in part for ever:yone; A4-separate classification (given to films not morally offensive which, however, require some analysis and explanation); C-condemned.

New Films "Thier' (United Artists) is the story of a skilled safecracker determined to get himself 'a normal life by means of pulHng a few major jobs then retiring from life to live on his loot. Frank (James Caan) persuades Jessie (Tuesday Weld) to go along with him in his scheme. He ties up with a mob leader and at first all goes well but then Frank finds he is too deeply implicated in crime to extriciate himself.

"Thief" is far above the usual standard for this sort of picture but may be too grim for many. ·Profanity, strong obscenity and violence rate ,it R, A3.

"Cutter and Bone" (United Ar· tists): A bitter and crippled Vietnam veteran named Cutter (John Heard), teams up with his best friend, Richard Bone (Jeff Bridges), an aging beach boy, in a quixotic attempt to entrap an oil magnate they believe responsible for the brutal murder of a teen-age girl, this despite the vehement disapproval of Cutter's neglected and perhaps alcoholic wife (Usa Eichorn). Despite pretensions of grandeur, this is essentially an unsatisfactory melodrama. Because of its strong language, violence, and depiction of sex, it has been classiifed R, A3.

"The Final Conflict" (Fox): In this conclusion of "The Omen" trilogy, the now adult Damien Thorn (played by the Australian

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican Philatelic Office will issue two stamps commemorating the second millennium of the death of the Latin poet Virgil.

Each stamp carries a picture of Virgil seated before a lectern.

The 350-lire stamp honors his books, the "Bucolics" and the "Georgics." The 600-lire stamp honors his "Aeneid."

Born near Mantova in 70 B.C., Virgil died in Brindisi in 19 B.C. The Vatican museums contain more than half of the -Virgilian manuscripts from the fourth and fifth centuries A.D., including the only two illustrated manus· cript works.
