Should we inter'vene in Bosnia? WASHINGTON (CNS) - The chairman of the U.S. bishops' International Policy Committee said May 13 that he did not issue "a general endorsement of U.S. military intervention in Bosnia" but instead urged the United States "to apply strict moral criteria to any use of military force." Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul-Minneapolis made the clarification the day after he released to the media copies of a four-page letter he wrote to U.S. Secretary of Staff: Warren Christopher spelling out moral principles that should guide U.S. policy in former Yugoslavia. A number of news reports interpreted the letter ai: giving Catholic moral approval to U.S. military action as a way to end the aggression and violations of human rights in the war-battered region. "This misreads the letter and its message," Archbishop Roach said. He said his lettl~r clearly distinguished between "limited military measures which we support" and other military actions that are at least highly quest:.onable. Measures involving possible use of military force that the bishops support, he said, are "safe havens, protecting civilians and refugees, enforcing economic sanctions and . implementing a c,~asefire in Croatia and a possible overall political settlement." He cited the widely discussed proposals for air ~,trikes or a lifting of the arms embargo as military measures "which we believe must still meet stringent moral criteria before they can be used." Archbishop Roach noted that his letter reiteratt~d the guidelines adopted in a public statement about Bosnia in March by the Administrative Board of the U.S. Catholic Conference, an elected SO-bishop body that meets twice a year between general ml~etings of all the bishops. The board said that "a strictly limited use of force" is one possible solution to the Balkan crisis, as are continued negotiations and economic sanctions. "As pastors and teachers, our role is to help raise the continuing human and moral consequences of the horror in Bosnia and suggest ethical criteria that ought to guide our nation's response," he said. His letter opposes two extremes, he said: "It rejects the arguments Turn to Page Nine

1.---------------------------.1 Cardinal sees new peace challenges 10 years later

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (CNS) - Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago warned America against "the immorality of isolationism" in a speech marking the 10th anniversary of the U.S. bishops' peace pastoral. "After the Cold War, there is an understandable but dangerous temptation to turn inward.... But this is not an option for believers in the universal church nor citizens in the world's last superpower," the cardinal said at a symposium in Uncasville in the diocese of Norwich, CT. "In a world where 40,000 chil-

dren die every day from hunger and its consequences, in a world with ethnic cleansing and systematic rape in Bosnia, in a world where people are still denied life, dignity and fundamental rights because of their race, ethnicity, religion or economic status - we cannot turn away," he said. "There is need for new thinking about the status of peace, the nature of war and effective responses to conflict," he said. As one example he cited Bosnia, where he said there is "no real milTurn to Page Nine

At II a.m. tomorrow in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, Bishop Sean O'Malley will ordain 10 permanent deacons for service in the Fall River diocese. This is the fourth such ordination ceremony in the history of the diocese, the last one being in 1987, and it will be the first such ceremony at which Bishop Sean O'Malley will be the ordaining prelate. The deacon candidates have concluded four years of preparation under direction of Rev. John F. Moore, diaconal program director. The ordination will be in the context of a Mass, following the Gospel. It will include rites of calling and presentation of candidates. The presentation will be made by Father Moore. After ordination, accomplished by the laying of the bishop's hands on the head of each candidate and a prayer of consecration, the deacons' wives will bring the ordinands' vestments of office to the altar, handing them to assisting priests or deacons, who will then vest the new deacons. Music for the Mass and ordination will be by the diocesan choir

and instrumentalists. Because of seating limitations in the cathedral, admission will be by ticket only. Deacons serve the diocese in various ways. Liturgically, they can preach, officiate at baptisms, weddings, wake sl~rvices and funerals, and distribute holy communion. Deacons may be assigned by the bishop to either a parish ministry .or a particular field of service. In this diocese, they are active in a variety of ministries including those to prison inmates, the sick in hospitals and nursing homes, immigrant communities and youth. The Second Vatican Council recommended that the diaconate be restored as a permanent order in the modern Church. Shortly thereafter, Pope Paul VI declared he would restore the diaconate in countries that wished it. In August of 1968, answering the request of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, he approved the permanent diaconate in the United States.. See page 16 Jor photos of the new deacons.

VATI CAN CITY (CNS) - Pope John Paul II beatified a missionary priest martyred by Tibetan monks in 1949 and expressed satisfaction at the progress in Catholic-Buddhist dialogue since ther!. During a Mass a~ the Vatican last Sunday the pope also beatified three women religious, including the founder of the Congregation of the Daughters of Wisdom. Beatification is a major step toward sainthood. Declared "blessed" was Father Maurice Tournay, a Swiss religious who worked in Vietnam and China as a missionary before being transferred to Tibet in 1945. He immediately encountered the antagonism of local Buddhist monks and spent four years working for the religious freedom of the small Christian community there.

l»e'atified'"'

In 1949 he traveled to seek a decree of tolerance from the chief Buddhist authority, the Dalai Lama. On the way he was ambushed and kilkd by four Buddhist monks. A Vatican biography said Father Tournay has been an inspirational reminder of the sufferings of local Christians in many parts of the world. Also beatified were: - French Sister Marie-Louise Trichet, who founded the Daughters of Wisdom in the early 1700s, ministering to the young, the poor and the sick. -- Ukrainian-born Benedictine Sister Colomba Joanna Gabriel, who eventually came to Rome and opened. houses for the poor and hungry in the early 1900s. - Italian Sister Florida Cevoli, known for her reforms as head of an order of Franciscan nuns in the 18th century.

demning apartheid, Archbishop Tutu said, "saying sorry is not an easy thing to do" and the president's statement "was certainly one of the most forthright things he has said on the matter." However, if the apology is sincere, it will have to be followed by a complete reallocation of South Africa's resources to balance the misallocations of the past, the archbishop said. Archbishop Tutu said that the victims of apartheid "must say, 'Yes, we forgive you. Now what are you going to do to show that you are really sorry?'''

Dominican Sister Lucy Vazquez, who works for the diocese of Orlando, Fla., said the church in the U nit~d States "has a rich history of deeply committed women. We stand on the shoulders of giants." Women religious in particular have had an enormous impact in the "growth and developmept of the church because they really educated most of our immigrant children," she said.

Diaconate: the Ministry of Service This weekend, Bishop O'Malley will ordain the fourth class of permanent deacons for the Fall River diocese. Ten men will be sent forth as ordained representatives of the Church to continue her mission of charity, following the mandate of Acts 6:3 that men should be selected to serve the Christian community who are "of good reputation, wisdom and full of the Holy Spirit." , As the original deacons came before the apostles, their modern counterparts will come before the bishop who, praying, will lay hands upon them. Acts 6:7 tells us that as a result of the ministry of the first deacons "the word of the Lord increased and the number of disciples was increased greatly in Jerusalem and many even of the priestly caste were converted to the faith." After such an auspicious beginning, however, for various historical reasons the order of deacon fell into disuse. It was restored in 1967 by Pope Paul VI, whose action implemented . the expressed desire of the Fathers of Vatican II for reestablishment of the diaconate not only to supply ministers for church work but also to bring to completion the hierarchical structure of the Roman Rite. The United States bishops authorized the permanent diaconate for the American Church in 1968 and in the last 25 years over 10,000 rrien in this country have been ordained as members. The permanent diaconate is, however, still the new kid on the Church block. As such, it has had to face the usuaJ uncertainties and fears of the established brethren. This it has done very well. From uncertainty to acceptance by the vast majority of Church members in a period of only 25 years is in itself a miracle. The deacons themselves have done a remarkable job of, as it were, selling their restored office to the American Church, but the process has not been easy. Many still think of deacons as second-rate clergy. Fortunately, this reaction is on the wane. Fifteen years ago, many pastors just did not want a deacon on their staff; today in most dioceses there is a waiting list for them. Most deacons see their job as fertile ground for witness. Time and again, what deacons have been as sign to their fellow workers has proved instrumental in helpi~g those workers to return to a caring and loving Church. To be sure, the development of the permanent diaconate has a long way to go. It is like the child who has left the crib for the playpen but most of whose growth still lies ahead. As with the child, the future of the diaconate is full of promise as its members continue to expand the horizons of ministry. With this optimistic outlook, our diocesan community is grateful to God for those who have responded to his call to serve. As 10 more permanent deacons enter the vineyard as God's servants, we also thank the Lord for those who have preceded them and set a remarkable standard for them to follow. N one of us knows what the new century holds for us but as we approach the millennium, we do know that the Church in these United States will do the Lord's work better because of the men who have given themselves in ministry as permanent deacons.

"Who is a rock, save our God?" Ps 18:32

A holy and humble man of God By Father Kevin J. Harrington Thirty years ago on the day after Pentecost. Jund. 1962. Pope John XXIII died. His papacy had lasted less than five . years~to be precise, 1.700 days . .yet few periods ,in the history of the Church have proven to be as tumultuous or fruitful. Two of his encyclical letters literally shook the world; 1961's Mater et Mal{istra (On Christianity and Social Progress). the first papal letter addressed to all persons of good will; and Pacem in Terris (On establishing universal peace in truth. justice. charity and liberty). promulgated just seven weeks before his death. Both encyclicals addressed the issues of peace and justice in a world that was perilously close to nuclear warfare during the most anxious days of the Cold War. Also. it is difficult to exaggerate the crucial role played by Pope John in the Second Vatican Council. Many of his advisors. a ware of the pope's advanced age (he was one of very few popes who have ascended the papal throne after the age of 75 and 53 years as a priest) counseled him not to rock the boat. John XXIII surprised everyone when he chose to steer the Barque of Peter into one of its most momentous periods of transition. As L((e magazi,ne editorialized shortly before his death: "He moved that huge old galleon. the Roman Catholic Church. back into the mainstream of history." When elected in 1958 Pope John John XXIII stated that he intended to pattern his ministry after that of Joseph in the Old Testament story. who greeted the brothers who had once sold him into slavery with the compassionate. forgiving words. "I am Joseph. your brother." We have grown accustomed to seei ng pO'pes wash t he feet of selected members of the congregation on Holy Thursday and walk on the Way of the Cross on Good Friday. We should not forget that itwasJohnXXlI1 who broke the prece-

dents of centuries and participated in these customs. John XXIII was also the first pope to make a habit of visiting the sick in Roman hospitals. the elderly in nursing homes, and the incarcerated at Regina Coeli prison. For those old enough'to reme'mber the pontificate of John XXIII these facts may seem old hat. We must remember that there are almost two generations of Roman Catholics who are much less familiar with the life of this remarkable man. It disturbs me when unthinking reactionaries refer to Pope John XXIII as the pope who opened the door to dissent and discord in the Church. They fail to remember that his episcopal motto was "Obedience and Peace."

Mother of Humankind Mother, I commend and entrust to you all that goes to make up earthly progress, asking that it should not be onesided but that it should create conditions for the full spiritual advancement of individuals, families, communities and nations. I commend to you the poor, suffering, sick and handicapped, the aging and the dying. I ask you to reconcile those in sin, heal those in pain, and uplift those who have lost hope and joy. Show to those who doubt the light of Christ your son. Amen. National Shrine chapel prayer

Not long before his death he confided to a Methodist bishop that the secret of his life could be found in four recommendations of St. Thomas 'a Kempis found in The Imitation of Christ; ':s,eek.to do the" ofoth'ei-s,' c'fioose 'to 'ha'{re: t'ess, lobl("fot' n'i'e :llisi"place, desire God's will completely." Such avowals are a powerful antidote to the prophets of gloom and doom who predict disaster around every corner. Pope John XXIII's humility was often revealed by his relaxing good humor and endearing sallies of wit as well as pithy retorts. Of ,his own plain features and stocky build he once joked, "The Lord knew I was going to be a pope; you'd think he would have made me more handsome." To a group of American visitors he apologized for needing a translator by saying: "I n heaven we shall all speak American."To former Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev's sonin-law he said: "They tell me. sir, that you are an atheist. But surely you will not forbid an old man to send a blessing to your children."

will.

On Pope John XXIII's last birthday he made the classic statement. "Any day is a good day to be born on, a good day to die on." Little wonder the turbulent, doubtful world took as warmly as it did to this man so full of quiet certi: tudes. As we prepare to celebrate Pentecost Sunday May 30. what better way to prepare ourselves for the coming of the Holy Spirit into 'our lives than by remembering the life of this very holy and humble man of God. 111111I11I11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 THE ANCHOR (USPS-545-020).

Acts 1:112-14 I Peter 4: 13-16 John 17:1-11 (fwe don't undersfand the scriptural significance of "glory," we'll have a hard time' understanding today's second and third readings. "Glory" is similar to "grace." We must know the context before we can determine its meaning. The Greek word doxa is normally translated "'honor" or "esteem." and often has this meaning in Scripture. But in these two readings the authors come at the word from a completely different direction - from an image found only in the Hebrew Scriptures. The ancient Jewish authors frequently convey a picture of Yahweh living among his people. Demonstrating th,e Lord's presence in the many ways he loves and sa ves, .t.he Sacred Writers especially weave this image into the Exodus traditions. There Yahweh liberates the He brews, leads them across the sea, guides them through the wilderness and constantly supplies them with food and water. And if this is not sufficient proof of his care and concern. he also remains with them symbolically in the pillar of fire, the ark of the covenant and the meeting tent. The Hebrew writers usually refer to this loving presence as the kehod of.\' ':If;1~e.h. ,~\"t ~:h~·.n 9,~eek~spe,ak i~g'Jew~ ,translat'ed, the Scriptures in the Second Century, B.C., they used 'doxa for kehod; changing "Yahweh's presen,ce" into "the glory of Yahweh." Knowing their communities were more familiar witb the Greek translation (the Septuagint) than the original Hebrew text. some authors of the Christian Scriptures also began referring to God's presence as God's glory. Doxa began to signify something very unique. God was "glorified" when he was present among his people. John develops the image of God's glory more than any other evangelist and in the process gives it his own twist. Though Jesus speaks about glory throughout the Last Supper discourse. he's not talking only about Yahweh's loving presence among his people. Mor,e than just showing that God is present, he maintains that he's doing something to

KARBAN bring that presence about. In today's pericope he proclaims. "I nave given you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to d o. " The work of Jesus - his dying and rising - unveils God's loving concern for all of us. The Lord's glory is not just a past event over which we "Oh!" and "Ah!" No wonder John refers to Jesus as God's Word. When we hear and see Jesus. we see and hear God. But John's unfolding of glory doesn't stop here. At the end of the passage Jesus mentions his concern for his disciples. "For these I. pray." he pledges...... It is in them that I have been glorified. I am in the world no more. but these are in the world as I come to you." Jesus' actions not only make God present, now the actions of his disciples make Jesus present! He's glorified by their dying and rising. Followers of Jesus play more than a passive role in this world. We're not just TV quiz show "pointers." The Lord lives among us because of the way we live. I Peter. using the same insight. develops a parallel con~ept. He believes we can "glorify" the Hoi.\' Spirit. "Ha'ppy are you when you are insulted for the sake of Christ." he writes, "for then God's Spirit in its glory has come to rest on you." Times of pain and suffering are ·not just uncomfortable moments to be avoided. If they come because we're trying to live as Jesus lived, the Holy Spirit is present in the middle of them. In today's first reading. Luke narrates a very significant period in the history of our faith. What happens to the Lord's disciples after his ascension. when he's no longer here to give them guidance? They simply gather - as a community - in prayer. The Spirit will soon come to show them how to carryon Jesus's work; how to glorify him in their lives. Centuries later. we've barely scratched the surface of glorification. But we probably won't even start until we realize we've been given the power to bring it about.

Educational TV urged WASHINGTON (CNS) - The U.S. Catholic Conference has asked the Federal Communications Commission to "send a clear message" to broadcasters. that they could lose their broadcast licenses ifthey do not air more educational programs for children. "Several generations of children have grown into adulthood while broadcasters failed to act and the commission continued to scold" since the 1950s, said the USCC, in comments recently filed with the FCC. Under current broadcast practices, the USCC sa1id, "only those children's programs' which advertisers can use to target children are broadcast. Selling to children is the goal. Any educational or social benefit derived from programming is secondary to the success of the commercial venture."

Why aren't "pareilfs 'enc'oiira'gingvocations? ( .

By DOLORES CURRAN

Last week I wrote about the Green Bay diocese's recent publication, A Study of Household Spirituality, designed and carried out by the diocesan Family Life Commission. The study surveyed 758 households and concluded that, on the basis of the demographic nature of the returns, "Overall, the respondents to the survey we"re an above average and committed group of Catholics." I noted that in spite of this description, only six out of 10 believed that their lives were better because

of their religious affiliation and that households with children scored lowest on household faith practices and other variables of faith. (Copies of the 52-page report are available for $6 each, including postage and handling, from Department of Personal and Family Enrichment, P.O. Box 23825, Green Bay, WI 54305.) I also noted· two conclusions that caused me to reflect. One, which I wrote about last week, concerned the finding that the religious instruction of children had very little or no correlation with family faith practices at home. The other conclusion that bears scrutiny is, "Just over one in 10 (12 percent) of households report that they encourage vocations to priesthood and religious life." Read that again slowly, bearing in mind that this comes from a group of above average and committed Cath-

olics. (A definition based on their est. Few said, "I don't want my son parish and sacramental involve- to be a priest or my daughter to be ment and support.) a nun."

Many mentioned the stigma involved in leaving religious life as a factor. Now, with the Green'Bay finding, hasn't the time come for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops to find out why committed Catholic parents are reluctant to encourage vocations in their own families? My survey was informal and wouldn't withstand scientific scrutiny. The Green Bay survey didn't go far enough. In a well-designed national instrument, let's ask Catholic parents why they aren't encouraging vocations. Laying on parent guilt for the lack of-vocations doesn't cut it any more. Discovering and addressing parental fears has to be the first step in rebuilding parent confidence in encouraging children into a vocation which is to many is . fraught with uncertainty.

What do you do for play? .

By ANTOINETTE BOSCO

I recently attended a conference by the organization Humor Project, and the first thing I learned was how old I had gotten. Dr. Joel Goodman, who founded the project about 15 years ago to focus on the importance of having fun, had conference participants pair up and share the answer to the question, "What do you do for play?" The question rolled around in

By FATHER JOHN J. DIETZEN Q. For a long time some of us and our children have held hands during the Our Father at Mass. We thought it helped us to pray and reminded us of what we are praying for. Recently a sister from another parish told one of our groups this

my head. He had to be kidding! Play? The only example I could think of is when my tiny granddaughters come over and I get on the floor with them and do blocks and puzzles. But it's not really play. Even· then I'm always conscious of the respol).sibility to be a nurturing, caring grandmother. The truth is, I don't play. I haven't ~ince I was a kid. Somehow at avery early age, I lost interest in play. Life got far too heavy, serious, and busy. . But at the conference I was forced to think about whether play is important throughout life. I could say one good thing: Although I flunked out on play, I did fine on laughing.

Fortunately, even though I have long forgotten how to play, I lean to looking on the light side whenever possible. I love a fomedy and really enjoy good jokes. The very fact I 'had gone to a humor conference was proof that, even though I don't play, I'm at least convinced that fun is an extremely important component of life. . 'If ever a conference had an agenda, it was this one. The message came from all sides, like the banner sporting the words of pianist-co"median Victor Borge, "A smile is the shortest distance between two people." Dr. Goodman made the point several times that "pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional," explaining that what we do with

our trials and tribulations makes the difference. , Much attention was given to the intrinsic connection'between humor and health. The late Norman Cousins, who wrote the book" Anatomy.of an Illness,'~ was frequently quoted for his statement, "He who . laughs - I~sts." Dr. Goodman is convinced that humor- Prevents 11: "hardening of the attitudes," a condition that makes it nearly impossible to roll with the punches that life throws at us. Joyce Anisman-Saltman, a Gestalt therapist, told of a nursing home where some of the residents were up and around while others were out of it. An effort was made to find out ·what was the difference.

The vital oldtimers had s~qleth.i~g~n ~omqlqn - a ~ealthy .sense of humor. ·Ms. Ariisman·SaItman urged each of us to make a' list of 10 things we like to do, and then to connect with peoplel and ·events that help !IS experience those things. Mainly; s'he added; surround yourself with positive people. The negative ones are "energy suckers," who get you to end up in their space. I still haven't figured out what I would do for play, but I continue to have a smile on my face from the inspiring and uplifting experience of the Humor Project -and I'll settle for that.

Holding hands during the Our Father practice was not allowed, that it was forbidden by the Vatican about 20 years ago. Is this true? I can't imagine what would be wrong with it. (Ohio) . A. To my knowledge there is no rule whatsoever in any church document that would forbid or discourage such a practice. For one thing, apart from essentials, liturgical directives normally do not say a great deal about actions or postures on the part of the assembled faithful. Customs and practices differ too much from place to place. The document to which the sis-

ter referred, which has been similarly misunderstood, by the way, more than once, is a response from the Congregation of Rites in 1975. The congregation was asked whether joining hands during the Our Father could replace" the sign of peace. It replied that the sign of peace is a special and powerful symbol in itself and should not be substituted for in this manner. Their response says in part: "The prolonged holding of hands is of itself a sign of communion rather than of peace. Further, it is a liturgical.gesture introduced spontan-

eously but on personal initiative; it is not in the rubrics. "N or is there any clear explanation of why the sign of peace ... should be supplanted .... Any substitution for it must be repudiated" (Notitiae 1975,226). Clearly this response only intends to say that joining hands during the Lord's Prayer, while it is a sign of communion, does not substitute for the sign of peace. Q. I am a third-grader and want to know what you do at Mass when your mind wanders someplace else. It's like you're singing or praying and you don't even hear it. (Texas)

A. I'm glad you want to pray and pay attention at Mass. But 'it's not just you. Eyerybody's mind wanders a lot because we are interested and active in so many things. Our mind wanders when we talk to our family or friends, so it's no wonder it happens when we're talking to God. Just calmly and peacefully let your mind come back to what's happening at Mass, God knows you wouldn't be in church if you didn't want to be there and want to pray.

Reason prevailed Dear Editor: By vote of 83 to 71, a coalition of pro-life and pro-choice representatives has aml~nded H. 3239. The amendment removed from House consideration Rep. Susan Schur's draft of a bill which is the most radical yet to be considered by any state legislature. On Tuesday, May 4, Rev. Salvatore DiMasi, House Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, took the extraordinary step of urging the House to ov,~rturn his own committee's decision that H. 3239 ought not to pass. In theÂˇassurance that the bill merely codified Roe v. Wade and at least should be permitted floor debate, his request was granted. Careful analysis over the next few days revealed c:onclusivelythat H. 3239 went far beyond Roe. The first trimester became 24 weeks. A woman in consultation with her doctor became the woman alone. In fact, the draft permitted nonphysicians to do albortions. Parental consent with judicial bypass provisions were eliminated. So too were informed consent and individual and institutional conscience protection. On Monday, May 10, reason prevailed over radicalism. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote for the majority in Casey, the most recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on the abortion issue. It recognized states' authority to adopt reasonable laws which regulated abortion without creating an "undue burden" on the woman seeking an abortion. This approach is the central concept of the amendment a'dopted by the House. H. 3239 must come up for a third reading vole in the House. We thank all pro-life citizens who contacted their representatives. We especially thank those who voted for the corrective amendment sponsored by pro-choice Representative Valerie Barsum. We urge them to hold to their position in the third reading. Anne-Marie Smith Mass. Citizens for Life Boston

"Love ont.' another" Dear Editor: I find it neces:;ary to write yet again in response to a recent letter by Mr. Corbett [Anchor. April 9: Corbett objects to homosexuals serving in the m:litary. Editor]. I will not use this medium to argue with him and have no intention to carryon this debate. I simply feel it necessary to make a couple of points. Hate and bigotry take many forms. We can all use any scripture passage to make any point we wish. I feel strongly that when any one person is discriminated against we all suffer and society as a whole deteriorates. I wish to say that I believe that if Jesus were here today. He would simply say "Love one another as I have loved vou." Change is a difficult thing to a~cept. Growth is necessary for life. Where there is no growth. there is then only death, An open mind is necessary for growth. Ultimately M r. Corbett would

have to agree with me that Jesus would certainly be opposed to any concept of a military service. Please know. sir, you remain AL WA YS in my prayers. Dale Szczech Provincetown

The weeping rain Dear Editor: This is a dark and gloomy day. The rain is coming down and the wind is blowing it against my window. The effect creates a likeness of tears. many. many tears being shed. as if by God the creator of the world. He seems to be weeping over the sand; much as He did over the city of Jerusalem. In this fine fifth month of 1993, why wouldn't He weep? Look at what has happened! Men and women all over the world have been declaring themselves as the second coming, but I believe they are not the second coming of Christ. I believe they are the second coming of the devil. and the tears that are wept over the world are trying to put out the fires of Hell. Molly Willey Dennisport

Faith's voice muted Dear Editor: The recent tragic and violent occurrences in our general geographic area have touched us all deeply and provoked a variety of responses attempting to placate and pacify worried families and isolate the events as random happenings unusual to this region and therefore unlikely to recur soon. This is very dangerous reasoning. Increased security and foresight in our schools is admirable but'not the answer. Trying youthful offenders as adults is great catharsis but little cure. The root of the problem goes much deeper. Our society has disintegrated so badly that the concept of civilized moral behavior itself is threatened with extinction. As the seemingly-harmless countercultural movements of the '60s and '70s evolved into the familydestroying abortion and gay rights legal holocausts of the following decades, they, combined with an increasingly impotent judicial system, are effectively destroying all respect for human life. As generations pass, raised in faith less despair, hope is replaced with hate and people eventually find that no place is safe. All the problems of the giant urban centers are ours as well. Yet, amid all the din and retrospective clamor, one voice remains muted by the general media - the voice offaith. The violence of our times is a direct result of the erosion of our moral foundation caused by the secularization of society. How sad it is that tragedy must strike before people realize that we are all our brothers' keepers; that we cannot expect to live in a "good" society until that society acknowledges that you cannot spell good without the letters G-O-D; and that the wages of sin are still death. Lawrence Bizarro Fairhaven

Dear Editor: Pray allow me to suggest that the environment, as propounded' by the DCCW, is not the overwhelming problem of the world. The crisis the world faces-or refuses to face-is the collapse of the moral infrastructure induced by the satanic use of the technological devices of TV, radio, advertising, films, rock music. abortion, drugs, in the last decade of the bloodiest c~:ntury in the history of man. The restoration and preservation of family values should be the theme. With their expanded freedoms, women and mothers should be taking up the torch dropped by men. Bernard McCabe South Yarmouth

Greatest holocaust Dear Editor: The secular press has printed a great deal recently about the holocaust of the Jewish people under Adolph Hitler. The rest of the world has offered sympathy for this atrocity. Recently a Jewish cemetery in Everett has been vandalized. We have expressed our deepest sympathy for this cemetery vandalism. Of course, our whole country has been upset at the recent loss of life at the Waco compound. The secular media. press, radio. and TV. have expressed their shock at this latest holocaust. But the abortion holocaust was and still is ignored by the secular press. Millions of unborn babies have been murdered in the wombs of their mothers. Yet our president does not offer any sympathy in all of these cases. Isn't it about time that our American citizens express publicly their horror at this greatest holocaust of them all? We think so!

Is This Your Pra)fer? Lord make me an instrumE!nt of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury/pardon, where there is doubtlfaith, where there is despair/hope, where there is darkness/light: and where there Is sadness/j,oy.

Six boys from the Cronin Unit (boys ages 13 to 18) at St. Vincent's Horne, Fall River, wearing elegant top hats, stood taller than usual Feb. 24 as they represented famous Americans in St. Vincent's first annual celebration of African-American History Month. Called "Champions of Civil Rights," the 40-minute presentation was a blend of African folk music and American history which highlighted the contributions of Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner, Frederick Douglass, Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King, J r. and other black Americans. The performance, attended by residents and staff, was "a sign of St. Vincent's dedication to increased cultural awareness," Home executive director Father J oe Costa said. "Given the number of minority children we serve, we need to be evermore sensitive to different cultures." Strategies to increase cultural 'awareness will include sensitivity training, acquainting staff with customs, family systems and language of the children who come to St. Vincent's and recruiting minority candidates for staff positions, Father Costa said. Coping with Anger Social worker Ellen Dufour of Community Counseling of Bristol County has introduced the group counseling program "Anger Management" to Cronin Unit students. The eight-week program relies on role playing and other methods of active participation to convey techniques for dealing with and expressing anger. "A lot of the boys have not been able to effectively communicate their anger." Ms. Dufour said. "They revert to what we call primitive styles-aggressive behavior toward others or taking it out on themselves. My objective is to help them better understand anger and how to channel it appropriately." Ms. Dufour will also introduce relaxation techniques and work with staff members "to help them help the residents deal with anger." Meanwhile, special education teacher Martha Ann Edminster has her 10 Cronin Unit students agreeing to disagree. "One thing all of you do very well is argue," she observed one day. "And that gives me an idea." That was the beginning of the Cronin Debate Team, now a weekly classroom activity.

Each Thursday, Mrs. Edminster announces the topic. The students cast a secret ballot stating whether they are for or against the proposition. Teams are formed and given five minutes to outline their arguments. And then the debate begins. Topics so far have included capital punishment, gun controL buyingforeign-made products and censorship of music. "Each boy must wait his turn to speak, he must stand to give a response, no ridicule is allowed, and we reinforce that everyone's opinion is valuable and (everyone) has a right to be heard," Mrs. Edminster summarized. To date, the boys have had no problem choosing sides for all topics except one: music censorship. "For that one," Mrs. Edminster said, "\ was the only one for it, so all 10 of the boys debated me!" Driftwood Road The Driftwood Road Group Horne for six pre-adolescent boys opened in February with coordinator Pete Bedrosian and assistant Debbie Bouchard. School arrangements are being made, and meanwhile some of the boys have started a "cottage industry," making candles to sell in the area. Others are selling greeting cards. One student is a volunteer at Catholic Memorial Home and two are parttime student-janitors at St. Vincent's. The boys and counselors have also begun a Good Neighbor program, inviting area residents to a spring cookout and working to clean up the neighborhood.

Pioneering Program Three times a year, the local council of Telephone Pioneers of America purchases and distributes books for St. Vincent's children as part of the Smithsonian Institute's Reading is Fundamental Program. But they don't stop there. "We want to do more than drop off books," said Mary Lou Viveiros, Pioneers past president. "We enjoy working with the children. So we bring in refreshments and read to them at the same time." The Pioneers also supply the clowns and face-painting supplies for the Home's Children's Festival in the fall. No Smoking The St. Vincent's campus is now completely smoke-free. "Too much hard evidence now points to the dangers of smoking and secol)dhand smoke," said Father Costa. "Clearly, if we are committed to the health of our children and staff, a campus-wide ban on smoking is the only logical alternative. " Karon Allen, an independent well ness consultant, will offer a smoking cessation program for those who need it. Previously she was tobacco education coordinator for the American Cancer Society, where she developed FreshStart, a stop-smoking program which is a mixture of behavior modification, education and relaxation techniques presented in a support group setting..

Hawthorne Dominicans receive six postulants .

Six new postulants have entered the novitiate of the Dominicans of St. Rose of Lima at Hawthorne, NY. Also known as the Servants of Relieffor Incurable Cancer, the sisters are well known in Fall River, where for 6 I years they have served the city and the entire New England area. The new recruits are Carole Grady of Lithonia, Ga.; Theodora Hernandez, a native of Batangas City, Philippines, most recently from Bronx, NY; Mary Cheuvront, Nashville, Tenn.; Carmen Tierres, EI Paso, Tex.; Delia Gica from Cebu City, Philippines, most recently from Toronto, Canada; and Janene Duey, Federal Way, Washington State.

Noting that the community'S novitiate is full with the new arrivals, Sister Marie Edward, formation directress, said it "is richer for the talents, virtues and cheerfulness of these women. We are a full house and a joyful group." The Hawthorne Dominicans have nursed incurable cancer patients for the past 95 years in the seven free homes. In addition to the Rose Hawthorne Home in Fall River, the homes are located in New York City; Hawthorne, NY; Cleveland, St. Paul, Philadelphia and Atlanta. "As more women enter our order, we hope to open new homes in other areas of the country," said Sister Edward.

JON POLCE

Jon Polce plans farewell fconcert Composer, guitarist and singer Jon Poke, who expects to conduct a music ministry in England for several years, will present a major farewell concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 26, at Taunton Expo Center on Route 44 at the Taunton/ Dighton lim:. The former Taunton Dog Track, the venue accommodates oVI~r 4,000 persons in an enclosed grandstand. A percentage of the cost of tickets for the event sold by parish, pro-life or other organizations or units such as CYOs will be returned to the groups for their own use and children under 10 will be admitted free. Remaining funds will cover concert expenses and provide assistance for Poke's move to England with his wife and son. There will also be an opportunity for groups to raise funds through obtaining advertisers for a program booklet. Poke, a member of St. Julie Billiart parish, North Dartmouth, has ministered fulltime in the northeastern, southern and midwestern areas of the United States for nearly 20 years, playing for CYO, renewal, pastoral and youth conferences as well as for parish and other congregations. ·In that time his Scripture-basl~d original musical compositions have been credited with bringing many hearers closer to Christ. His works have been published in England, Germany, China, Australia and Ireland and recorded by Dion, Crossroads and Fisherfolk. He was invited to minister in England by Bishop Ambrose Griffith of the archdiocese of Newcastle upon Tyne and Hexham. The bishop heard Poke in concert last year in the United Kingdom and asked him to evangelize in his and neighboring dioceses. Arrangements for the Taunton concert are being made by Roland Boucher, in charge of the program booklet, and Tony Medeiros, who has had over 15 years of experience in promotion of concerts and special events. For further information, they can be contacted at (508)824-8378 for Medeiros and (401)767-3343 for Boucher.

The meeting was convened by Bishop Daniel P. Reilly of Norwich to look back at the peace pastoral and ahead to current and future challenges of war and peace. Cardinal Bernardin was chairman of the bishops' committee that wrote the peace pastoral and Bishop Reilly was a committee member. The cardinal is a member and Bishop Reilly the chairman of a new bishops' committee currently .preparing an assessment 10 years later. Also at the symposium was Father J.

Bosnia Continued from Page One that the U.S. has no role or responsibility in stopping the slaughter in Bosnia. It also rejects the premise that there is a true military solution to the crisis." "Instead, it offers a moral framework for choosing the means to address the grave loss of human life and human rights in Bosnia," he said. "Our ethical tradition is neither simple nor easy to apply, but it offers an important resource in assessing the choices facing our nation and world in Bosnia." Is war justified? Catholic moral tradition spells out the criteria for a "just war." The U.S. bishops stressed in a 1990 statement that in the use of armed force, all the criteria, not just some, must be met simultaneously before war can be considered morally justified. These are the just war criteria: - Just cause: War must be necessary to deter or repel unjust aggression. - Competent authority: The appropriate lawful authorities must authorize the use of force. - Right intention: Some intentions, such as punishing an aggressor or recovering material possessions, are not considered sufficient justification for the violence of war. Others, such as protection of human rights and defense against real or threatened injury, may justify war. - Last resort: Military action is justified only when all peaceful alternatives to deter or reverse aggression have been exhausted. - Probability of success: There must be a sufficiently clear prospect of success to justify the human and other costs of engaging in war. - Proportionality of goals: The human and other costs of war must be measured against the values at stake and the anticipated outcome. - Proportionality of means: In

the conduct of the war, the military means used must be commensurate with the evil that one is seeking to overcome. - Discrimination: The principle of noncombatant immunity must be preserved. Civilian populations cannot be targeted.

tal political change is now present for the first time in almost 50 years," he said. "... In the 1990s, fundamental political change is imperative, not optional. "We must now turn to the new reality and apply our tradition in ways that continue to seek to minimize the resort to armed force and indicate the directions we might take to ensure greater justice in the world," Cardinal Bernardin said. "Greater attention and resources must also be focused on the growing gap between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. A just and lasting peace will never be achieved when so many people live in abject poverty. "Diverting scarce resources away from the purchase of arms to meeting basic human needs for food, shelter, education and health care would go a long way toward building a just and peaceful world," he said. "At present, there are more

than 40 regional conflicts, each' fueled by an arms trade that knows no bounds." Cardinal Bernardin said the 1983 peace pastoral and the bishops' follow-up assessment of deterrence in 1988 "give us a starting point for the agenda of the 1990s." Part of that agenda, he said, is addressing the moral dimensions of such developments as: - Humanitarian intervention in a sovereign state. - Targeting homes and infrastructure for bombing and shelling. - Economic sanctions and coercive diplomacy. - Arms embargoes. - Denying food and medicine to civilians in order to achieve military objectives. - The systematic rape of women as an instrument of war. - The temptation of isolationism. - International policing.

chief staff aide to the 1983 committee. It was on May 3, 1983 that the U.S. Catholic bishops gave nearly unanimous approval to "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response" - a document credited with raising American consciousness about the moral dimensions of nuclear deterrence policy and the arms race. In 1983 "none of us would have predicted or even imagined the enormous changes that have taken place," Cardinal Bernardin said. What is needed now, he said, is "to address the unfinished business of the pastoral letter, that is, the challenges of peacemaking and solidarity in a changed, new world." The pastoral was written in the context of the Cold War and now that the Cold War is over, "the possibility for shaping fundamen-

Ad limina visits: talking as friends with the pope VATICAN CITY (CNS) - They aren't branch managers called to the head office for a grilling by the CEO. When bishops make their ad limina visits to the Vatican every five years. their private meetings with Pope John Paul II are informal. encouraging and sometimes very personal.

The term "ad limina" means "to the threshold" and refers to the fact that in coming to Rome the bishops are figuratively coming to the threshold of the apostles as they visit the pope, the successor ofSt. Peter, chief of the 12 apostles. The topics during the bishops' tete-a-tetes with the pope may range from vocations to the local econ-

omy. and from the culture's influence on religious practice to the bishop's health or his concern for a family member. "We talked as friends," said Archbishop Adam J. Maida of Detroit after meeting the pope last month during his ad limina visit to Rome. He laughed when it was suggested the visit might resemble a job performance evaluation. "I wasn't giving him an accounting. and I didn't worry about being fired when I left," he said. The second group of V .S. bishops making their ad limina visits in 1993 met with many Vatican officials but the centerpiece of their time in Rome was the 15- or 20minute private conversation each had with the pope.

Bishop O'Malley will see the pope in the period between Sept. 20 and Sept. 27, when he and other New England bishops are scheduled for their ad Iiminas. The private papal meeting touches both old hands and those on the first go 'round, like Bishop Gilbert I. Sheldon of Steubenville, Ohio. "The whole time I was there, he seemed interested in nothing else but the little diocese of Steubenville," he said. "The visit with the Holy Father was very impressive for a rookie." Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk of Cincinnati has had many meetings with the pope as vice-president, then president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, but he said those meetings always followed an agenda. "This was just a nice'conversation about important things," the archbishop said, with the challenges facing the church in a secular society being the main topic of his April 19 meeting. Bishop Paul V. Donovan of Kalamazoo, Mich., made his first ad limina visit in 1973 with Pope Paul VI. For his second visit, in 1978, the bishops had only a group meeting with Pope John Paull, "a very smiling, very warm person." The innovation of private papal meetings came with the pontificate of Pope John Paul II. "He seems to have the gift of attending to the person with him in such a way that it seems he has no other worries or concerns. nothing else on his mind," Bishop Donovan said after his papal audience. The two talked about the Kala-

mazoo diocese, including its Native American name - which the pope asked about and seemed to enjoy when told it meant "bubbling water" - the diocese's campus ministry program,jail ministry and outreach to Spanish-speaking migrant farmworkers. They also talked about Bishop Donovan. "I told him I had been experiencing some health problems," the bishop said. "He was concerned. wanted to know how I was and if I was receiving good medical attention. ,"He seemed as animated, interested and focused about his concerns for the church as he did during my first visit with him in 1983," Bishop Donovan added. "It's still a moving experience, even though it's the third time." Archbishop Maida said. "you couldn't find an easier person to talk to" - they spoke in Polish and in English. "It was the quickest 20 minutes of my life. "He is so gentle and perceptive and, I have to say, his deeply spiritual sense comes through," the archbishop said. "You know that th~ spiritual welfare of the church is at the core of his demeanor, his questions and comments." . Intf'1'viewed after his scheduled April 20 papal meeting. Bishop James W. Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, didn't have much to report. The Vatican letter informing him of the date and time of his appointment with the pope was delivered to the wrong hotel and the bishop didn't know of his appointment until well after he had missed

it. However, the two met later on. The first group of V.S. bishops, in Rome in mid-March, also shared reflections on their encounters with Pope.John Paul. At the end of his meeting in March, Bishop Raymond A. Lucker of New Vim, Minn., asked the pope for a blessing for his 94-yearold mother, who had had a corneal transplant. "He said, 'I'll give you a special gift [for her), a beautiful white rosary.'" Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee said his 1993 visit with the pope "was the best of the three meetings" he's had. "He was much more engaged in,conversation than he was previously. And. that was very good, very helpful." When asked about controversial topics that may have come up in conversation, most of the bishops said they don't think the ad liminas are the place to ra,ise those issues. "I wanted to be positive," said Archbishop Francis T. Hurley of Anchorage. "I wanted to refrain from 'dumping on the pope,' because, being a bishop, I know what it's like." The archbishop had asked people in Anchorage if they had a message he should deliver to the pope during his March meeting. "I tried to translate for him a slang expression that several people had used," the archbishop said. "Hang in there" was the message the archbishop tried to explain. "But I think I failed. I probably should have used some Latin expression to get it across."

, THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., May 21,1993

By Charlie Martin

LOVE IS

By Tom Lennon The Sunday evening TV news was a shocker. In a nearby town five high school students were killed in an automobile accident on Saturday night. The boys and girls had been drinking. Monday night some other students were on the TV news. A boy said, "One of them was my best friend. I was with him all Saturday after.noon. Now he's gone forever." In the days that followed I thought often of the students at that school. For many it was probably the first time death had come so close. Perhaps they realized for the first time thai any day could be their last. Sooner or later you wiil experience, something akin to .what they did during that grim time. Here are some suggestions that will, I hope, help yDU. " Part of the experience will probably be a visit to the funeral home. It will be helpful if you have, some idea of what to expect there. Usually, there is'an air of quietness. People tend to speak in soft tones, and some hesitate to speak' much at all. ' As you enter, you may be asked

to sign a register so that all the family members know you came. You will be directed to the large room where the family is gathered. The casket mayor may not be opened for viewing. At some point you may wish to go to the casket to say a brief, silent prayer. Inevitably you will meet members of the family, and what on earth do you say to them? It will vary with the person. Here are some possibilities. ,"I'm sorry, Mrs. Smith. Chuck .was a good friend of mine, and I'll miss him so much. He helped me in school a lot." Or, "You have my deepest sympathy, Mr. Jones. Linda was a wonderful girl. She had a lot of friends, and we'll reme'mber her for a long time to come." Depending on how people react, you may'wish to reminisce about the person who died. If you remember some humorous incident, by all means tell it. Such stories can help ease the pain a bit. The first time you go to a funeral home, you would surely find it helpful to go with a friend. How long should you stay? That's strictly up to you. These concrete suggestions, however, do not tell you how to deal with the fact of your mortality, nor do they tell you how to comfort and support your friends. The church says it best at ,the Mass of Christian burial: In death "life is changed, not taken away." Many people are convinced that after death is when real life begins. Death is not the end; it is a beginning. And even as we weep in remembering, that solemn truth is a cause for joy and great hope.

They say it's a river It circles the earth A beam of light shining To the edge of the universe It conquers all It changes everything They say it's a blessing They say it's a gift They say it's a miracle In everything that it is It conquers all But it's a mystery Love breaks your heart Love takes no less than everything Love makes it hard ' And it fades away so easily In this world that we've created In this place that we live In the blink of an eye, babe The darkness comes in Love lights the world Unites the lovers for eternity Love breaks the chain LO\'e aches for everyone of us Love takes the tears and pain And turns it into the beauty that remains Look at this lace ' , It was power to us But now it's dying I'll pray for love 111 take my chances that it's not too late Love breaks your heart Love takes no less than everything Love makes it hard And it fades away so easily Love breaks the chain Love aches for everyone of us Love takes the tears and pain And turns it into the beauty that remains Written by'Tonio K. and John Keller. Sung by Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight (c), 1992 by Giant Recods VANESSA WILLIAMS and Brian McKnight have a sure winner in "Love Is." The cassingle is off the soundtrack from the popular TV show "Beverly Hills 90210." Ms. Williams and McKnight create a vocal intensity that

complements the song's instrumentation. providing an easily felt emotional wallop. Listening to the song brings us back to our own search for love. We know that love makes the real difference in our lives. The Scriptures remind us we

have nothing unless we have love, no matter what else we possess. The song tells us many things that we already know but need to hear again: Indeed, love is a blessing. a gift and a mystery. Surely. there are times when "love breaks your heart," and you know that it "fades away so easily." Yet. love is the same power that "takes the tears and pain and turns it into the beauty that remains." Experiencing these qualities of love depends on two abilities: how we open our hearts to receive love and how unconditionally and generously we are willing to give it. Sometimes we build walls against receiving love. Fear gets hold of our minds and we forget how to trust. This can occur because of some deep pain within us. We do trust. and yet we'find ourselves abandoned or rejected. Consequently the hurt closes our hearts. Our love supply gets blocked. Other times. we see love as some sort of deal or bargaining chip. We give love only to the extent that we attain what we want from another. In these situations we have forgotten the true nature of love. We forget that love depends on nothing and must be given freely. openly and without regard to what its giving brings in return. However. love offers uS a choice. No matter what our past. love brings us into this present moment. Perhaps we can only take small steps. but today we choose to open our hearts and receive. We must remember that God works miracles. When, for example. we think of C)uist's resurrection; we see the seemingly impossible occur. We see death turned into life. Such thoughts should give us time to consider what "love is." Recalling the miracle of the resurrection. we should also welcome the miracle of giving and receiving the blessing. gift and mystery of love. Your comments are welcomed by Charlie Martin, RR 3, Box 182, Rockport, IN 47635.

Italian bishop appeals to youth in disco AREZZO. Italy (CNS) - It was an upcoming papal visit rather than dance fever that brought Bishop Giovanni D'Ascenzi out at midnight to the Roxi Rose disco. "I did not go to waste their time. Those young people were there to have fun and not to listen to a bishop," said Bishop D'Ascenzi of Areno. Cortona and Sansepolcro, Italy. But still. he felt right about asking for a few minutes of their time to tell them Pope John Paul II would be visiting their diocese for a day, ' "I think that an extraordinary event like the papal visit to Areno May 23 deserves to be made known everywhere." Bishop Ascenzi told reporters after his disco visit. The bishop had made arrangements with the dance club's manager to make a short announcement about the pope's visit and to invite the young people to participate.The bishop also brought the message to a local university and was planning a school visit or two. The manager of the disco told the bishop to plan on a late night.

Arriving at II :20 p.m.• Bishop D' Ascenzi and a young priest who accompanied him - "I didn't know how to get there" - found a sparse ,group. The bishop said he went into the manager's office for a while a'nd watched the late news on television. At midnight, he went out on the dance floor and invited the estimated 2,000 young revelers to attend the pope's special meeting with young people. "The discotheque is not'a pulpit from which to explain the Gospel." he told reporters later. "It is a place where young people go to have fun and meet others. It is a place where affection and friendships are born." . Then again. he said. "to speak with the young you have to go where you find them; there is no other way."
