Pope asks "Gospel of work" in native Poland

Mother combines Scripture study, child-raising HATTIESBURG, Miss. (NC) - On Sunday, Patricia Sanchez, mother of 6-year-old Paul, 5-yearold Rafael, 3-year-old Madalena and l-year-old Patrick, will be celebrating Mother's Day. But she may also find time to work on her Scripture commentaries and homily suggestions for Celebration magazine.

On other days of the year she squeezes them in between dinner preparations, chasing kids and changing diapers. ' Mrs. Sanchez, who has taught Scripture as far away as Uganda, said writing at home allows her to be with her children. When she does take time away, it is often to deliver keynote addresses at major liturgical conferences across the country.

In an interview with the Gulf Pine Catholic, newspaper of the diocese of Biloxi, where Hattiesburg is located, Mrs. Sanchez said she has written homily suggestions since 1979 and commentaries since 1983.

Celebration, issued.monthly by the National Catholic Reporter Publishing Co., has an estimated 100,000 readers who use its homily, Scripture and music resources to enhance Sunday liturgies.

"Scripture really speaks to us today because it is the living word of a living, personal and caring God," said Mrs. Sanchez.

But she also offered a caution about the approach of Catholics whose interest in the Bible may be relatively new.

"Even though Scripture speaks to us today, it is -necessary to approach that work intelligently, with faith, yes, but also with the benefits of biblical scholarship," she said.

Her own interest in biblical studies, she said, came in 1969 after

she received bachelor's degrees in philosophy and science from Old Dominion University in Norfolk.

She is director of adult catechesis for her parish, Sacred Heart, and at another Hattiesburg parish which serves the city's college community.

"There's nothing I'd rather do than teach Scripture," she said.

"It's my way of helping people. It's my job, but also my way of serving. And there's a great deal of personal satisfaction in teaching others to truly understand God's word."

to Baltic shipyards. The unrest represented the most serious challenge to the government's labor policies since the independent trade union Solidarity was outlawed in 1981.

More than 12,000 steel workers in Nowa Huta, just outside the pope's former archdiocesan See of Krakow, went on strike in late April, seeking pay increases. The thousands of striking northern shipyard workers asked for higher pay, the legalization of Solidarity and the return of fired union activists.

The government was attempting to head off other strikes around the country by promising higher wages. It has said it will not consider legalizing Solidarity.

Some ofthe striking steel workers said they had written to the pope, explaining that their struggle "for an honest salary" was based on papal teachings of the dignity of man and work.

Archbishop Bronislaw Dabrowski, an official of the Polish bishops' conference, sai,d May 1 that the

strike was a matter of "the cost of living." The steelworkers were asking for a 50 percent pay raise on average monthly salaries of about $105.

An informed Vatican source said the pope's words on May I, the feast ofSt. Joseph the Worker, left it up to Poland's bishops to make a more specific appraisal of the current strikes.

The source said the pope's view on Poland's labor situation was well known, and that there was no need for him to speak more directly about the issues at this moment.

Lech Walesa, founder of Solidarity, who has in the past had many contacts with the pope, told workers at the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk, where he took charge of the 1980 workers' revolt and where he is stilI employed as an electrician, that he would not playa leading role in the current strikes.

"I'm tired," said Walesa, 44.

University students in several Polish cities have struck in sympathy with the workers.

Papal journey offers political contrasts VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II's May trip to four South American countries, which begins tomorrow, will beajourney into political contrasts.

In Paraguay, he will meet the granddaddy of Latin American dictators. President Alfredo Stroessner. In Uruguay. Bolivia and Peru, he will be greeted by elected civilian presidents trying to initiate participatory democracy in countries where military coups punctuate history.

The panoramic sweep of the May II-day journey will give the pope a live political setting in which to emphasize the teachings of his latest social encyclical, "On Social Concerns."

Third World countries "need to reform certain unjust structures. and in particular their political institutions. in order to replace corrupt. dictatorial and authoritarian forms of government by democratic and participatory ones." says the encyclical.

The encyclical. published in February, also restates papal opposition to violence as the road to democratic reforms.

In Paraguay, Stroessner has ruled since 1954, holding the reins of the military. the police and the ruling Colorado Party. His reelec-

Adoption conference The 10th annual Adoption Education Conference sponsored by Catholic Social Services of the Fall River diocese will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. May 15 at St. Vincent's Home, Fall River.

Its theme, "Crises in Adoptive Families: What Are They? When Are They?" will be addressed by Joyce Pavao. M. Ed, a social worker and therapist who specializes in ~doption issues.

Herself an adoptee', she is a doctoral candidate at Harvard University. She recently spoke at the 15th annual New England Adoption Conference sponsored by the Open Door Society.

A question period will follow the Fall River meeting.

tion in February to another fiveyear term makes natural death the most likely way the 75-year-old leader will leave office.

- Uruguay ended 12 years of harsh military rule in 1985 when elected President Julio Maria Sanguinetti took office and the bicamerallegis~ lature was reestablished. During the military years, many human rights groups tagged Uruguay as the country with the highest percentage of citizens jailed for political reasons.

Peru and Bolivia also marked democratic milestones in 1985 by witnessing rare peaceful transitions of constitutionally elected governments. In Peru, it was the fi rst time since 1945; in Bolivia. the first time in almost 20 years.

But participatory democracy remains fragile in both countries. with the military looming in the wings.

Bolivia has had more than 60 military coups since gaining independence in 1825. and its current multiparty political system does not give any group even close to a majority vote. President Victor Paz Estensoro received only 26 percent of the vote in 1985 and was elected

by Congress, which is constitutionally empowered to choose the president from the top two votegetters if nobody wins a majority of the popular vote.

In Peru, the constitution enshrines military involvement in politics by making the armed forces guardians of the constitution. In practice this has allowed military leaders to routinely overthrow governments. Coups are usually followed by suspension of the constitution. enabling the military to rule by decree.

Peruvian democracy is also threatened by the Shining Path, a well-organized, ideologically motivated guerrilla movement.

Throughout the 1980s it has been involved in killings of rural officials and in urban economic sabotage.

The pope, during his 1985 Peruvian visit, condemned political violence. He said guerrilla groups were "tricked by false ideologies, to the point of thinking that terror and aggression, in exacerbating the already lamentable social tensions and forcing an ultimate confrontation, can lead to a better world."

THE ANCHOR - Diocese of Fall River - Fri., May 6, 1988

the moorina-, A Marian Year Mother's Day The annual celebration of Mother's Day has become a great spring commercial spree, coming at a time when merchants need to pump life into post-Easter sales. From florist to candy store, mother becomes a significant cash commodity.

Yet, despite its mercantile aspect, there are positive aspects to this capitalistic push. It does emphasize on ali levels of purchasing potentiality that there is a day set aside for us to recall and review all the meaning of motherhood.

In today's social order, the need for this reminder is urgent.

For the Church family, Mother's Day takes on a significant meaning in this Marian Year. Last March, Pope John Paul II gave us his sixth encyclical letter, "Mater Redemptoris."

Central to the letter is the concept of Mary as the Mother of God, so beautifully reflected in the "Theotokos" ofthe Eastern Churches. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we believe that Mary conceived and brought into the world Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mary is the mother of Jesus and the mother of the Church.

In his letter, the Holy Father calls special attention to the relationship of Mary and all women. Today, when so many seem forgetful in this regard,. his words take on added meaning as he states that "femininity has a unique relationship with the Mother of the Redeemer."

The pope stresses that the figure of Mary of Nazareth illuminates womanhood by the very fact that God in the sublime event of the Incarnation of his Son, entrusted himself to "the free and active ministry of a woman."

Thus it can be said that women, in looking to Mary, can discover the secret of living their femininity with dignity and achieving their own advancement.

In the light of Mary, the family of God, the Church, sees in the face of woman the reflection of a beauty mirroring the loftiest sentiments of the human heart: the totality of love; the strength to bear the greatest of sorrows; limitless fidelity; tireles~ devotion to work; the talent offinding needed words of support and encouragement.

It is obvious that such words are more than needed in these times when headlines trumpet news of surrogate mothers, abortion rights groups and the so-called Catholics for a Free Choice.

For some women within and without the Church, the reflections of the Holy Father on these matters are mere pious platitudes. So far have so many departed from the ideal that what was and remains uplifting and inspiring is considered by them merely silly and absurd.

To be sure, special concerns face women in today's world and Church. However, integrity, honor and virtue can never be ignored. In our efforts to remedy and atone for the sin of sexism, we can never lose sight of what Mary means to ,!ll in the family of the Church. The Gospel mandate to improve the quality of life for all people is directly related to our appreciation of Mary's role in salvation history.

To those who seek to improve the status of women, to restore the integrity of motherhood and to affinn the freedoms and rights of every individual, Mary offers not a mere archaic reflection of some ancient goddess but a vibrant spiritual reality that can and does have meaning and relevance in a skeptical and often disbelieving world.

Mother's Day in the Marian Year presents a wonderful opportunity to reaffirm Mary's presence in the Church, her very special family.

MOTHER'S DAY 1988

"As the mother was, so also is her daughter." Eze. 16:44

Our mysterious universe

By Father Kevin J. Harrington A good scientist ceases to be one when he or she stops asking good questions. Answering questions. such as why is the sky blue or the grass green, opens doors to a great deal of scientific knowledge.

The questions scientists raise are usually questions they feel they have a chance of answering. But there are still unresolved questions in the natural order. Since the 1960s, for instance, the origin of our universe has been explained by the so-called Big Bang theory, which is much more convincing than the theory of the complexity of the natural order that evolved subsequently.

Scientific problems are usually studied from the theoretical rather than the practical viewpoint; hence there is a great need to abstract from reality to understand reality.

Physicists theorize on the bases of such abstractions as ideal gases, perfect crystals or the ubiquitous billiard ball that served as a model for everything from atoms to stars.

It is no wonder that in our everyday thinking we rely so much upon stereotypes and role models. Most ofthe time, raw reality is much too complex. If you considered all aspects of everything (even any one thing) you did, you would become completely (if temporarily) paralyzed.

There is a popular joke among theoretical physicists that highlights the fact that unrealistic models often shed more light upon reality than do realistic models.

One .night a girl came upon a scientist searching for his lost keys under a streetlamp.

"Are you sure you lost them here?" she asked.

The scientist replied, "No. I lost them back in the alley."

"Then why look under this lamp?" asked the girl. The scientist quickly answered, "There's more light here."

As in so many areas of life, you do the best you can with what you have.

A big question that plagues today's scientists is the lack of symmetry on all levels of the created order. It is postulated that at the moment of the Big Bang there was an equal amount of matter and antimatter. But somehow, in the first microsecond following the Big Bang the symmetry of matter and antimatter was irrevocably broken at a time when temperatures were so high, the universe was much more sensitive to small symmetry-breaking than it is now.

Five new saints VATICAN CITY (NC) - A consistory of cardinals has approved the canoni7.ation cause of Blessed Rose Philippine Duchesne and set July 3 as the date she will be declared a saint.

Blessed Duchesne, a 19th-eentury French missionary, spent from 1818 until her death in 1852 in the Unitcd States. She opened the first of several schools for girls at St. Charles, Mo., near St. Louis, and also worked for a year at an Indian settlement in Kansas.

She will be canonized in St. Peter's Basilica along with Trinitarian Father Simon de Rojas, noted for promoting the Feast of the Hoiy Name of Mary.

The consistory also approved canonization of 17th-century Jesuit missionary Fathers Roque Gon7.alez, Alonso Rodriguez and Juan del Castillo. All will be canonized May 16, during the pope's trip to Paraguay.

The same symmetry-breaking occurs in the famous double helix of DNA. All molecules in living systems on earth, right down to the lowest amino acid, are right-handed helices. This invariant shape is surprising to scientists. They cannot fathom why although the primordial soup that gave rise to the first living molecule consisted of roughly equal amounts of right and left-handed amino acids, it gave rise only to right-handed molecules.

This lack of symmetry raises more questions than some scientists find comfortable, although most acknowledge the interest of the lessons learned from seeing what happens when symmetry is broken. The key to the origin of our universe and life may be found in the alley and not under the streetlamp of our conventional models!

In any case, I happen to think that th路e world is too full of things that can be explained. A little mystery here and there hurts nothing except perhaps the dignity of a scientist. Knowing that there are things, humble though they may be, that aren't understood keeps us from becoming too arrogant.

The gaps in our present knowledge of the created order can only be filled by better theories and more data. But the very fact that the universe is creative, and that its laws permit complex structures to emerge and develop to the point of consciousness is for me powerful evidence that "something is going on" behind it all.

Thl: impression of design is overwhelming. Science may explain all the processes whereby the universe is evolving its own destiny, but it will still leave room for the meaning behind existence.

Faltering honesty According to a 1987 Associated Press story, one-third of all job applicants lie about their experience. When a questionnaire asked applicants if they had used or supervised someone else using a fictitious piece of equipment, 76 of 221 said they had.

Other surveys have found that over 66% of applicants fake responses to biographical information.

The situation is so fraught with dishonesty that a computer program is now being tested to fight recruiter cheating. One researcher claims that applicant dishonesty is costing the insurance industry alone $30 million annually by investing in people hired through falsification who later fail on the job and by industry efforts to identify such fraud.

Applications can be unsettling 'because they force us to scrutinize our achievements. If they aren't what we wish they were, we fudge a little to make us look good. I recall with embarrassment answering a college scholarship question dishonestly.

The question was "What is the last book you read?" I wasn't about to put down the title of one of the romance novels I was addicted to at 17, so I picked the longest and hardest book I could think of, War and Peace. I hesitated about writing it on the blank but plunged in, then spent weeks of guilt and fear that perhaps they would quiz me about it.

A seminal book A permanent deacon assIsting me one Sunday asked, "Have you read Father Sebastian Moore's book, 'Let This Mind Be in You'?"

When I responded no, he urged me to do so immediately, saying, "Father Moore has a very positive approach to spirituality and does not dwell, like most spiritual writers, on our weaknesses. His style is not easy but the twist he gives to his writing makes it worth the struggle."

So I obtained the book and found that I agree with the deacon.

By putting things in a different light, Father Moore's book helps the reader get a new perspective on life. There is, for example. a freshness in his approach to what might be called life forces that connect us with God. Understanding these life forces means understanding ourselves better - and this can lead us toward God. He asks. for example, what it is that people really "desire" and "want." Why are we constantly in pursuit of some desire?

Many people reply that we want because we do not have. Father Moore sees it quite differently: "We desire. not because we are empty but because we are full."

He explains that in the womb each person is a bundle of pleasurableness in an oceanic world. We felt good. Later. we want to contiue feeling good. thus desire leads us on one quest or another.

In a chapter titled "A Moment of Honesty." Father Moore urges readers to reflect on what a moment oflotal actualization would be. By actualization he means a peak moment or experience in life when everything comes together. It is a moment when people feel in control of their lives. when they feel

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has expressed his "deep sadness" at the killing of prominent Maronite Catholic Msgr. Albert Khoraiche, whose bullet-ridden body was found May 1 in Lebanon.

In a telegram to former Maronite patriarch Cardinal Antoine P. Khoraiche, uncle of the slain priest, th.e pope offered sympathy to the family and the entire Maronite church.

Police said they had no clues in the murder. They said Msgr. Khoraiche's body bore more than 30 bullet wounds and scarring on his face, indicated he had been tortured. The body was lying in a pine woods near the town of Ghazir, where he worked, ~bout 14 miles nQrtheast of Beirut.

The clergyman disappeared in the,night between April 23 and 24 after leaving a group of relatives to return to his apartment in Ghadir.

Msgr. Khoraiche was a professor of international .Iaw at the state-run Lebanese University in Ghazir, where he taught a course in "publicliberties." He was also a senior judge on a church court that dealt extensively with divorce cases.,

Holocaust role of pope defended NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NC) To "set the record straight" about church defense of Jews during World War II, the May issue of the Knights of Columbus' magazine, Columbia, is devoted to articles on Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust.

"No talk - all action" is the theme of the' special issue of Columbia. which has a circulation of 1.4 million.

The articles conclude that Pope Pius said little publicly because he feared that doing so "would lead the Nazis to harsher persecutions."

But the magazine said the pope fostered actions within the church that historians have credited with saving nearly half of the 2 million European Jews who escaped the Holocaust.

"Vatican gold was used to ransom Jews from the Nazis" one article said. Jews were hidden in Catholic institutions, baptismal certificates were issued to Jews as "passports to safety," and the Vatican cooperated with the rescue efforts ofinternational Jewish organizations, it said. .

"Pope Pius XII even put himself and the church at srave, risk by becoming a principal actor in the plot to assa~sinate Hitler;" according to an article by Richard McMunn, Columbia editor. "The Holy Father served as 'the communications link between the British and the Germans inside the Reich who planned to kilt Hitler."

Another article in the May issue, on persecution of Catholic priests by the Nazis, is by Jesuit Father William J. O'Malley. a teacher and author of three books about priests in the Dachau concentration camp.

WASH INGTON (NC) - Before joining thousands of Christians in an April 29 prayer rally on the MaIl in Washington. Catholic charismatics filled St. Matthew's Cathedral with song, praise and prayers for Christian unity.

RalIy participants included Catholics from as far away as New Mexico and Arizona who had made two-day busjoumeys to be present.

The USCC official. Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye. in a letter to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. D-Mass.• expressed support for the Emergency Hunger Relief Act of 1988. sponsored by Kennedy. "The increasing number of poor and hungry peopfe. especially children. need the assistance of this bill." Msgr. Hoye said.

He said the USCC particularly supports raising basic food stamp benefits levels. the Summer Food Service Program for Children. and increasing the deduction for shelter and child care costs to help families who are hungry because the high costs of rent and utilities or child care leave them without enough cash for food.

It's for young adults

By Msgr. Vincent M. Walsh It was April as 500 charismatics gathered at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary for our annual leadership conference. I grabbed my lunch and sat down with two young adults. One quickly asked, "Monsignor, are you interested in doing anything for the young people?"

That was a question close to my heart, so I recounted some efforts we had made. "Well," they said, "we have a young adult group that has been praying for a number of veal's and we think it's time for us to start reaching out and doing something for other young people."

"You are an answer to my prayer," I said. A date was quickly scheduled for meeting with the group.

A week later 12 young adults gathered. The first half-hour was song and charismatic praise. As I sat with the group, I realized that a gift had suddenly dropped straight from heaven. This was a unique work of God. After the praise, the 12 introduced themselves. Originally, they thought of giving talks to high school and college groups. H owever. it was clear that God had far more in mind than occasional talks.

First. we had to define "young adult." The group itself ranged in age from 19 to 31, so we decided that the age bracket should be

from 18 to 35. Although all in this group were single, we realized that young married couples also needed lots of spiritual help. So the decision was made to be open to both single and married young adults, 18 to 35.

Thirdly, we knew it couldn't be a "one-time" rally which everyone .might enjoy but would be left with nothing to attend later. Since this group met for prayer every Saturday night, they agreed that after the rally they would come to the Mercy Sisters' motherhouse' on

MSGR. WALSH

the fourth Saturday of each month for a young adult prayer meeting.

The first rally was held the foHowing September and the first prayer meeting in October.

Since then the Lord has continually blessed this group. The numbers continued to grow, so we had to seek a new home for the meeting at St. Charles Seminary. Rallies were held and grew in size each year.

The group now has a newsletter, Jeremiah :\. Call, based upon Jeremiah's feeling that he was really too young to be a prophet. The Lord responded, "Say not, 'I am too young.' To whomever I sent you, you shall go; whatever I command you. you shall speak." (Jer. 1:7) We gather now every fourth Saturday, 7 to 9 p.m., at St. Charles Seminary. Towards the end of each meeting, a half hour is set aside for "witnessing," a sharing about what is happening in each person's life. These stories show clearly that the young adult prayer group is much more than just a monthly meeting. These young people are experiencing God's power. They are making good, solid decisions about where their lives are going. They overcome anxieties and feel God's strength every day.

Msgr.· Walsh is the vicar for charismatic prayer groups of the Philadelphia archdiocese.

SISTER MADELEINE CLEMENCE VAILLOT

Sister Madeleine Clemence is far from "a frail 80"

By Pat McGowan "I am not a frail 80," insists Sister Madeleine Clemence Vaillot, OP, who has followed ajampacked nursing career which concluded in 1977 with an equally busy II years as archivist for her community, the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation.

"History was my first love," explains the French native, a graduate of the ancient University of Paris, where she majored in philosophy, '·'but when I entered the convent, I didn't mind what they did with me."

What they did was give her nurses' training, after she had taught in Spain for a year and been expelled from the country by threatened revolution.

A full-fledged nurse, she returned ;.to Spain and was ousted again. '''We were in hiding for a couple of weeks, then were returned to France on a destroyer. We had nothing left. I have never been so poor in my life!"

Sister's next assignment was to Rome, where she was an operating room nurse. She came to Fall River and St. Anne's hospital in 1939 and in 1940 was named director of the hospital's former school of nursing.

In 1969, with more and more young people opting to combine nurses' training with a college degree, the hospital-based school closed as nearby Southeastern Massachusetts University opened a college of nursing.

Sister Madeleine Clemence was its founding dean, serving for eight years before she retired or, rather, changed occupations. Since 1977 she has, in addition to writing a history of her community's adventures in the United States from 1905 to 1925, served as a trustee of St. Anne's Hospital and on various hospital committees.

Earlier she published "Commitment to Nursing," a book that

grew from research done for the doctorate she holds from Boston College. The volume marries her longstanding interest in existential pnilosophy with the insights gained during her professional career in nursing education. Her thesis is that nursing schools should "educate for commitment~" that students should make their work a part of themselves rather than a mere eight-hour daily assignment.

"This thesis is a par't of existential philosophy as accepted by Christian thinkers," she explained, "and it is a spelling out in philosophical terms of part of the Catholic doctrine of the Mystical Body.

"We should use the conditions in which we are put to attain sanctity; and specifically, the aim of nursing should be to help students use their vocation to attain perfection as Christian men or women."

Over the years, she has helped hundreds of students attain this ideal, but she is far from resting on her laurels. Her next major project, she says, is preparation of a monograph detailing the history of her community's years, not as the mission of its French motherhouse, which it originally was, but as from 1961 a vice-province and from 1975 a province, represented in the archdiocese of Washington and the dioceses of Providence, Brownsville, Tex., and Gallup, NM, as well as in India.

Sister Madeleine Clemence is a woman of enthusiasms and handwork of all kinds is among them. A longtime knitter, she recently spent what she calls "the best $30 of my educational career" on a quilting course offered at Bristol Community College in Fall River by master quilter Michael James.

Another talent is baking, as the recent recipients of a couple of loaves of her just-out-of-the-oven bread can attest.

Certainly she is not a frail 80!

It's Older Americans' Month May is being observed as "Older Americans' Month" in Massachusetts. A proclamation to that effect notes that persons aged 60 and over constitute 18.5 percent of the state's population are served by 339 councils on aging, 223 senior centers, 27 home care corporations and 23 area agencies on aging.

The organizations, say the proclamation, "forestall or minimize the need for institutionalization of Massachusetts elders."

In signing the proclamation, Governor Michael S. Dukakis urged employers to "make every

effort to continue to provide job opportunities for our senior citizens."

The month will be marked May 17 at the sixth annual Governor's Conference, to be held in Springfield. The daylong program, expected to have more than 1,500 participants, will include a keynote speech by Governor Dukakis and an address by C. Kermit Phelps of the American Association of Retired Persons. 15 workshops will address health,longterm care, housing, education and other topics of importance to elders.

Preventing purse snatching

By Detectives Alan Silvia and William Correiro Fall River Police Department In the past few months, we have had in Fall River, along with other communities, a rash of purse snatchings. We would like to pass on the following tips to help you to keep you and your neighbors safe.

When you are out: If you must carry a purse, hold it close to your body, don't dangle it.

Never carry a wallet in your back pocket. Put it in an inside jacket pocket or front pocket.

Make sure someone knows where you are going and when you are expected to return.

Avoid dark deserted routes, even if they are the shortest.

Carry change for emergency telephone and transportation use.

Whenever possible, travel with friends to stores, the bank, or the doctor.

When using the bus or other public transportation, sit near the driver if possible.

Don't overburden yourself with packages that obstruct your view and make it hard to react.

Have your car or house key in hand as you approach your car or house.

Carry a whistle with you to draw attention to yourself if something should happen to you.

When you drive, keep your windows up and doors locked. Park in well-lighted areas. If you have car trouble, be extra careful of strangers who offer help. Stay in your car and ask them to call a service truck or police.

If a friend or taxi takes you home, ask the driver to wait until you are safely in the house.

If you are attacked, give pp your purse. Don't resist, your safety comes first, Make a conscious effort to get an 'accurate description of the attacker and call the police immediately. .

Above all, look around you and always be aware of the people in your area. Don't leave yourself

In the city of Fall River only, Dets. Silvia and Correiro are available to speak to senior groups and show "Senior Power," a short film on the safety tips listed above. "We will also be glad to come and just chat if that's all you desire," they add. They may be reached at the Fall River Police Department, tel.

676-8511.

Medicare ban on balance billing noted A brochure explaining the Massachusetts law protecting Medicare patients from "balance billing" by physicians has been issued by a coalition of senior citizen groups active in the state. It is available from local councils on aging.

Balance billing is the practice by some doctors of charging Medicare patients more than the Medicare-approved amount for services.

An example given in the brochure follows: • Suppose you receive Medicare-covered services from a doctor in Massachusetts and get a bill for $150.

• Next, you submit this bill to Medicare. You will then receive back in the mail an "Explanation of Medicare Benefits" form. On this form, Medicare has determined the reasonable, approved amount for the service to be only $100.

• This means Medicare pays up to 80% of this amount, or $80.

The birth dearth The U.S. baby boom that followed World War II was a sociological phenomenon that continues to produce a fallout.

A "birth dearth" is going to replace the baby boom in the decades to come with an even more dramatic impact on the nation, according to Ben Wattenberg, an American Enterprise Institute scholar.

Mother's Day is not about to be canceled, but Wattenberg believes American women are not bearing enough children to reproduce the population, and he has written a book painting a scary scenario of what may lie ahead.

"The Birth Dearth" claims the low birthrate will have a negative effect on many facets of society.

"Most people-men and womenwho freely decide not to have children will probably live to regret it," the author says.

"More importantly, I believe those who unwittingly arrange their lives in ways that reduce their chances to have children will live to be even more sorry."

During childbearing years, the average American woman now bears 1.8 children, while middleand upper-class women average only 1.3 births, Wattenberg says.

A level of 2.1 births is needed to replace the present population.

The birth dearth threatens Social Security, he says, because the system "works fine [only] as long as it is stoked by new players." It may

open to any easy attack. We are all concerned for you, the senior citizen.

force us to rely too heavily on nuclear weapons, he says, because of a drop in the volunteer armed forces.

Wattenberg's book was reviewed in the December-January issue of Family Research Today, newsletter of the Family Research council, a Washington, DC. thinktank studying ways to strengthen U.S. families.

"Birth Dearth" espouses societal policies aimed at helping parents bear and rear children, the newsletter says. "Not only does Wattenberg embrace proposals to decrease the tax liability of parents, but he also supports government efforts to expand child care, flextime, maternity leave and other' measures that make it easier for women to combine work and childrearing."

The author does not suggest banning abortion, the review' notes, "despite estimates that the U.S. birth rate would now be roughly 3.0 if all pregnancies were carried to term."

As if the birth dearth were not enough cause for concern, Family Research Today discloses another problem of modern motherhood: delayed childbearing. Postponing motherhood has brought an increase in problem pregnancies.

ectopic pregnancies are the leading cause of death among pregnant women in their first trimester."

Quoting Margaret Mushinski, a medical researcher, the report says sexually transmitted diseases also contributed to the dramatic increase in ectopic pregnancies, which occur when the egg is fertilized outside the uterus.

"As women continue to delay childbirth, the rates of sexually transmitted diseases continue to increase, the number. of ectopic pregnancies is expected to continue to rise," Mushinski said.

As one who contributed to the baby boom and who owes his existence to a father who came late to a Minnesota farm family of 13 children, I share Wattenberg's concern about the birth dearth ..

The challenges of motherhood today are so serious that 1, a mere male, can only view the decline in the birth rate with alarm. Believing that children are our most precious resource, however, I salute all the valiant and faith-filled mothers of the world: Happy Mother's Day!

Holding a child back

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Dear Mary: My son, who is 11, has asthma which frequently gets severe. In the past two years he has often missed school and has been hospitalized twice. He is small for his age and shy. When he returns to school after being hospitalized he is self-conscious. He attends a small Catholic school with a warm atmosphere. Nevertheless he feels conspicuous.

His older brother is the opposite. He is one ofthe biggest kids in his class and never seems to lack confidence.

My younger son is doing well in school, but because he has missed so much and is small, I am considering holding him back. This wiU permit him to grow and mature before moving on to mid~le school.

I want to be sympathetic without babying him. Above all I want him to be happy with himself. New York You seem to have thought long and well about your younger son's situation. Obviously you must deal with a long-term problem for which there is no immediate solution.

Here are some suggestions.

Retaining your son might well be good idea. Talk tothe principal or teacher at. your son's pr~sent school. While many parents have accelerated children and liv~d to

regret it, fewer have held a child back and regretted it. .

Retention can' be a beneficial step or a hateful penalty, depending upon how pal'ents and school present it to the child. An II-yearold will see through any platitudes.

Openness is the be~t approach with an older child. Define for yourself what objectives you have set in retainirig him. Avoid vague goals su'ch as, "You'll have time to grow' bigger." Instead suggest, "You'll be able to work with Miss M. and develop your artwork for another year," or "Youdo so well in science. This will give you the opportunity to enter an excellent project in the science fair."

Share your' reasoning and try to learn his feelings about the idea.

Then choose what the three parties, school, parents and child, see as best.

You recognize that your two sons are different. Continue to affirm each child for the qualities . special to him. , Write down the special talents and qualitites of your younger son. Review your list and add to it occasionally. Making a list can help you avoid the temptation to ba~y or pity him.

When the asthma is severe, try to. be optimi~tic an,d matter-offact. Life has problems, ~nd we as

a family will tackle this one as we do the others.

At the same time, do not deny or ignore his feelings. When he is ill and feeling bad, he might welcome the chance to talk about his illness, his shyness upon returning to class, even his feelings about his older brother. Be available to listen if he wants to talk.

Your son is approaching adolescence, a time when children frequently stop confiding in parents.

If you sense that your son does not want to talk to you, try to .put him in contact with another adult. A school counselor, church youth director, teacher, clinical'psychologist or social worker are possible choices. Try to find someone your son knows and likes or someone otherfamilies have found helpful.

Support and encourage relationships with .his friends. Let .him have friends over for visits and overnights. Encourage him to join youth groups such as Scouts or 4-H where he will enjoy the activity and feel comfortable. . Sh'ow YOl;Jr son you are confident he can handle his problem.

Love him for his beautiful qualitie~ and let him know that you think he is a great kid.

Remembering youth improves with age

By Antoinette Bosco I read a story by a 68-year-old man which set off a chain of memories and thoughts about old ties. .

The man was always very tightly wound up in his own activities. In fact, so caught up that he missed a good friend's wedding. He avoided a friend's funeral because he didn't want to deal with it.

Every five years his high school class held a reunion and he always refused to go, asking what purpose these "awkward occasions" could possibly serve.

At 68, though, he had a change of heart. He recognized that his links to other people needed and deserved more effort.

Much to his surprise, he began to find that when he shared special occasions with old friends, he enjoyed himself more than he ever would have expected.

Finally, last year, he attended his high school reunion - marking the 50th year since graduation.

He expected a hollow, silly exercise. Instead, he wrote, "I had a ball."

Toward the end of his story, the author sounded grateful for opportunities to celebrate old ties. By acknowledging validity in some of society's "ceremonial flourishes," he hoped to "reenergize his taste buds for living."

I felt empathy for this man. It's easy to get caught up in our own lives when we're younger. When we're raising children or striving to build careers, looking back doesn't seem meaningful compared with the struggle to move forward.

I stayed in touch with just one friend from college. When we graduated in 1949, Mary Hans and I made a pact that we would get together in 10 years. We did in 1959, but haven't seen each other since.

But every year at Christmas we exchange cards. I got worried last

The fine art of educated guessing VATICAN CITY (NC) - Ferreting out Vatican policy on current events and .issues is often an educated guessing game involving three information outlets which provide glimpses behind the veil of secrecy surrounding top level church thinking.

In these situations, Vatican watchers turn to Vatican Radio, the periodical Civilta Cattolica and L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily newspaper.

All have a special relationship with the secretariat of state, the Vatican's main policy-making body. They are used by decisionmakers to air opinions and interpretations which reflect official thinking but fall short of being formal policy statements.

The result is an unofficial, but authoritative, status for these sources which also provides the Vatican with a buffer. If policy changes or becomes unpopular, the Vatican can always deny it ever held the position, citing it as only the opinion or interpretation of an information agency or publication.

Here is how the system works: VATICAN RADIO: The short wave -programs of the Holy See's radio station are an int.egral part of the church's international evangelization efforts. But Vatican Radio also airs regular news programs, which are a combination of straight reporting and interviews with church people and other ex-

perts on contemporary issues and events. A daily transcript of its main reportage and interviews is sent to paid subscribers.

These transcripts do not contain editorials, but the radio receives guidance from the Secretariat of State regarding themes and events which should be emphasized. Its interviews with church officials around the world often reflect Vatican support for their views and the way they are handling controversial situations in their home cou,Etries.

CIVILTA CATTOLICA: A biweekly Jesuit-run periodical on political and religious affairs, its name is Italian for "Catholic civilization."

The periodical's editorials and major articles are reviewed by the Secretariat of State prior to publication. The articles are lengthy and analytical, covering everything from highly specialized theological themes to world politics.

For instance, a March Civilta Cattolica article fired harsh criticism at Israel's "brutal" killings and beatings of Palestinian protesters and bystanders in the occupied territories.

The article said the Israeli actions recalled the Nazi "final solution" for the Jews. It was in stark contrast to the measured tones used previously by the pope and other Vatican officials to ask for a return to peace in the Holy Land, but

L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO: Italian for "Roman observer," this daily paper has clearly marked editorials which are officially the' views of the newspaper and are written with Vatican guidance on themes and emphasis.

Sometimes Vatican officials write bylifled articles giving official interpretations of existing church policy or reemphasising church stands at a time of controversy.

In addition, L'Osservatore occasionally runs anonymous pageone articles with three asterisks at the end. This means the article has been reviewed by the Secretariat of State prior to publication and was written by an "authoritative" source, usually 11 Vatican official.

A three-asterisk article in March criticized promotion of condom use as an AI DS preventative, calling this "unacceptable from a moral point of view." It finally gave journalists something to write about after months of unsuccessful queries to Vatican officials for public comment on a December policy statement of the U.S. bishops' administrative board. The statement said the bishops would tolerate inclusion of accurate information on condoms in AIDS public education programs that also included sexual ethics guidelines.

For reporters seeking comment, it was a case of three asterisks being better than nothing.

THIS SATURDAY IS THE FIRST SAlURDAY OF THE MONTH Honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary Practice the devotion of the five First Saturdays This devotion was requested by Our lady of Fatima on July 13, 1917, when she said: "God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.

"1 shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If people listen to my requests, Russia will be converted and there will be peace."

Then again, on December 10, 1925, Our lady appeared to Sister lucia, one of the children of Fatima, and told her the following: "Announce. in my name that I promise to assist at the hour of death with the grac;es necessary for salvation, all those who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall

1. Go to confession and receive Holy Communion, 2. Recite the Rosary,

.

3. And keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditat'ing on the mysteries of the Rosary 4. With the intention of

maki~g

reparation to me."

To practice this devotion, you must fulfill the requests of Our lady, doing so in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Confession may be made during eight days before or after the Communion.

What's on your mind? ' 'Q. A new guy has moved in on our block and he goes to the same school I do, but he's not in any of my classes. I'd like to ask him out, but I haven't even met him' yet.

How should 1go about it?(Georgia)

MSGR. HARRINGTON, top, leads Last Supper celebration. Bottom, volunteers help with banner decoration.

A. It would be well to get to know this young man, even if only slightly, before asking him out.

Attractive though he may appear; he could turn out to be Mr. Dullsville on a date and you'd be stuck with him for a whole evening.

Once you've met him, ,then you can extend a specific invitation to a movie or concert or just a chocolate sundae. When you extend the' , invitation, tell him:you'd like it to , be your treat, your\vay of welcom~ ing him to the' neighborhood.

But how to meet him?

If he rides the same bus to, school that you do, perhaps you' can strike up a conversation with him on the bus. Any topic will do -the rainy weather, the tough math problems you sweated over last night or best of all, how he likes or doesn't like his new home.

Another possibility is simply to welcome him to the neighborhood when you see him a,round and, if the moinent seems right, to suggest that you might go out some night. ' If you see him in the hallway at school,you might go out of your way to greet him with a cheery, "Hi, new neighbor." Point out what close neighbors you are and invite him to come over.

couple has to'be together for the emotional high to be sustained.

Without the frequent attention of the other person, the feelings begin to diminish and those involved may wonder what is happening to the relationship.

By contrast, love can stand on its own when faced with separation. Love does not need constant togetherness. People truly in love may enjoy their times apart as much as their coming back together.

They use this space to pursue those interests and goals which further develop their personalities. This gives them even more to share in the relationship.

To test whether a relationship is built on love or infatuation, ask yo~rself these questio,ns: Is this new love improving my relationsnips with Jriends and family members?

Am 1becoming a more caring and giving individual?

Would others say that the rela,tionship is bringing out more of the best in me?

Those questions seldom lead to affirmative answers for those who are infatuated.

At the same time, it,certainly is OK to enjoy being infatuated, especially when we allow this type of r~lationship to teach us more about love.

Just don't mis,take infatuation for love.
