From the Bishop To the Seniors Excerpts from Bishop Cronin's address to graduates of diocesan high schools: Through your study here you have come to know the importance of living in the love of God by keeping his commandmenth. You havo reflected upon their application to all areas of society. And, please God, you have already been walking in the ways of those commandments and in whatever role in life you will ultimately find yourself, you will bring to it the mind and attitude of Christ the Lord. These short years of your study here have been the occasion for the Lord to touch your lives and speak to each of you in a special way. In the lifetime that lies ahead, you must continue to hear his word, listen to it and live it in love. You must also bring the witness of your faith and love to a world which looks for direction and searches for meaning. Through your faithful living of the Good News of Christ, you may well be the instrument through which others will open wide the doors of their lives to Christ and so find the fullness of joy and contentment. These are the challenges which lie ahead: the personal challenge of living the faith fearlessly and steadfastly and the public challenge of being like the' apostles themselves, spreading the faith through the credible witness of a life lived as a faithful disciple of the Lord Jesus.

St. Anne's Hospital Begins Major Fundraising Appeal St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, is initiating a major fundraising appeal to help finance construction of new medical facilities, according to James F. Lyons, the hospital's executive director. Proceeds of the appeal will be applied toward a $9 million construction program soon to get underway. New construction will completely modernize the hospital's medical facility within the next three year period, Lyons said.

The project was deemed necessary to keep pace with the medical care needs of the greater Fall River community by the state Department of Public Health last February when it issued a certificate of need to the hospital. St. Anne's, the only Catholic hospital in the diocese of Fall River, is affiliated with the diocese in health care programs such as Natural Family PlanTurn to Page Seven

An 'American Iniustice The recent attack on the American government by the British ambassador to WashIngton is but another indication of how we won the revolution but lost the waI\. The case in question centers on the sale of arms by the United States Department of State to the police forces of Northern Ireland. This sale to a private state police force, independent of the British army, included the transfer of 3,000 .357 . Magnum guns and 500 .233 caliber automatic rifles. The state department rationalized its approval of the sale by describing the Ulster Constabulary as the sole peace protection in Northern Ireland, even without reference to the presence of England's army. Such a sale of arms by this country to what for all practical purposes is a private policy agency is a blatant and outrageous defiance of the Helsinki Agreement. The courts of this country have imprisoned people who have supplied arms to the outlawed IrishRepublican Army. What the present sale means, in a very practical political sense, is that the United States government by direction and purposeful action of our State Department has given American support to a particular political faction in Northern Ireland whose policies and programs have been openly anti-Catholic as well as opposed to every convention of ...... 1 human freedom and rights.

Pontiff Balances Church and State CRACOW, Pola,nd (NC) For millions of Poles the visit of Pope John Paul H was "the greatest show on earth." The pope, always a crowdpleaser, was back home for nine days and despite omnipresent militia a holiday atmosphere prevailed. . Tens of thousands of students skipped school to see him, although orders were out that no class-cutting could be tolerated. "My teacher told me he would look the other way," a youth in Warsaw said. The pope billed his visit as a "religious pilgrimage," and indeed it was, including visits to venerable Polish shrines, an act of consecration of the whole church to Mary, three-hour outdoor Masses before throngs of pilgrims, appeals for sanctity and strong family life. But in Poland, where the practice of religion itself is often a political statement, political overtones were clear.

By REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY

Recently I read "Health "Care Ethics: A Catholic Analysis" by Benedict Ashley and Kevin O'Rourke, a long, sophisticated, and generally moderate discussion of extremely complicated problems, published by the Catholic Hospital Association. While not all moral theologians, either progressives or conservatives, will agree with the Dominican authors, I think most would admit that their synthesis is impressive. I found particularly intri-

It struck me with considerable force when I was reading "Health Care Ethics" that there is little "match-up" between the things that come immediately to the church's mind when sexuality is mentioned and the things that come to the minds of ordinary people. The sexuality in theology books and the sexuality of ordinary existence are totally different from one another. I do not think they can be connected until we have a much better theological vision of the multiple functions sexuality plays in the human condition. Furthermore, while O'Rourke and Ashley acknowledge' that

the church's official teaching on birth control is rejected by most American Catholics, they do not (and, as moral theologians, cannot appropriately) address themselves to the theological crisis such rejection produces. How can the "sensus fidelium" and the magisterium" be at odds? How can the teaching and the learning church be in such fundamental disagreement? I have repeatedly posed this question to systematic theologians and find not only no answer but no interest. I link the two problems: The faithful are not .rejecting the magisterium; they are trying to tell it that its anthropological assumptions are woefully out of touch with the conditions of contemporary existence.

Some of my longest hours have been spent waiting for a doctor to call to say the surgery is over, the patient is all right. Now it's my father. After 10 days of tests, we got the verdict. Dad had cancer, the

doctors would operate the following morning. I visited him the night before surgery. We talked a long time. To speak of life, death, and suffering in the abstract is one thing; to reflect on it when death may be imminent is quite different. His objectivity and composure were incredible.

Cautious Optimism Apparent on Welfare Reform By JIM CASTELLI

There are signs that the 96th Congress, known for its budget-cutting tendency, may have a real surprise in store for the country. There is cautious optimism that Congress will approve something very close to President Carter's proposed $5.7 billion welfare reform bill. Of course, there is some debate as to whether Carter's pro-

posal amounts to real reform. Church groups and others see it as an overhaul of the entire welfare system, but Barbara Washburn, who works on welfare issues for Sen. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.), is satisfied to say that any improvement is "reform," and there is wide agreement that Carter's proposal would improve welfare services: Here are his main proposals: - Raising the minimum benefit for all recipients to 65 percent of the poverty level. - Mandating coverage for two-parent families in states which do not have such coverage. - Providing 400,000 public service jobs for people who

would otherwise be on welfare. - Increasi~g the earned-income tax credit for low-income workers. - Providing fiscal relief to state and local governments for welfare costs. The conventional wisdom is that Congress, in a post-Proposition 13 mood, is not about to spend more money or approve broad new programs. But there are a number of reasons why this might not be the case: - Barbara Stolz of the U.S. Catholic Conference believes welfare supporters will give Carter's proposul more support than they might have in the past, because they have lowered

James Corman (D-ealif.), chairman of the House Ways and Means- Committee's subcommittee on public assistance, and Rep. Al Ullman (D-Qre.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. - Carter, it has been said, offered the new welfare proposal partly to guard his own credibility, since he had promised welfare reform during his campaign. House liberals who have criticized Carter on other issues may be forced to rally

around his welfare proposals to protect their own credIbility. - Carter's proposal is included in his own low-deficit proposed budget for fiscal year 1981. It also includes some costcutting measures likely to appeal to Congress. - The proposed public service jobs would not pay a low enough wage to earn opposition from labor unions claiming the new jobs would undercut existing jobs. Observers believe the House is likely to pass a bill. The real test will probably come in the Senate where Finance Committee chairman, Russell Long, (DLa.), remains a staunch opponent of welfare reform.

Gas No Problem For NE Congress Organizers say gasoline supplies should not be a problem for participants in the New England Congress of Religious Education, to be held the weekend . of Aug. 17 through 19 at the University of New Hampshire at Durham. "The central location of the site means that it will be possible for most New Englanders to get there and back on less than a tankful of gas. Availability of on-campus housing and meals will make it possible to park cars and forget them for the weekend. All seminars, liturgies and special events are within walking distance. In addition, any dioceses and parishes are expected to organize car pools or arrange for bus transportation to the congress," said the spokesperson. Bus plans are already underway in the Fall River diocese, said Father Michel G. Methot, diocesan director of religious education. He is polling parishes on the matter and, has asked for bids from a number of charter bus companies. It is hoped that response will enable buses to service several areas of the diocese, including Taunton and the upper Cape. Participants may register for all or part of the congress, said Father Methot. Full information on the program, which will have the theme of "Families: Living, Learning, Serving," has been sent to all parishes and schools. Seminars will explore Catechesis, Family 'Learning, Church Ministry, Youth/Young Adults, Death and Dying, Aging, Canon Law, Prayer-Spirituality, Family Comunications; Separated, Divorced, Remarried; Single Parenting, Special Education, Psychology, Spanish Apostolate, Scripture and Moral TheolOgY.

FOR 40 YEARS the Catholic Memorial Home steeple has been a Fall River landmark.

Triple Festival There's a triple celebration on the horizon for the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm. Wednesday, June 27, at the Catholic Memorial Home in Fall River, they'll observe- the 40th anniversary of their arrival in the city, the 50th anniversary of their community and the 75th anniversary of the Fall River diocese.

It will all come together at an evening Mass, with Bishop Daniel A. Cronin as homilist and principal concelebrant. A banquet will follow.

Honored guests will inchide Mother Jacinta Mary, representing Mother Michael Rosarie, superior general of the community, the bishop, Msgr. John J. Regan, director of diocesan health facilities, many priests of the diocese and board and staff members of all diocesan homes for the aged. The homes include Our Lady's Haven in Fairhaven, also staffed by the Carmelite community. The celebration is being masterminded by Mother Cecilia Regina, new Memorial Home superior, who could well be called "Mother Green Thumb," she has brightened the home, inside and out, with so many plants and flowers. Her special pride is the lovely home solarium. Adorned with hanging plants and new sunscreening blinds, it's in readiness for the social hour to precede the anniversary banquet.

That's a question missionaries often ponder.

How do you keep up with growing appetites-

growing hungers of mind and body?

It is true, "God will provide"-but it is people like us whom God uses to further His work around the world. Please be His "providing" instrument-help support His missionaries -as they try to keep up with growing needsand the growing search for God!

By Father John F. Moore Permanent Diaconate Director In reflecting on the work of the deacon in the church and his interpersonal relationships with his peers and brothers in the sacrament of Orders, it is imperative we try to understand the deacon himself. We must realize that the restored office of deacon is a genuine office, not a mere stopgap measure created or invented' by the Fathers of Vatican II to meet some of the problems with which the church must cope in day to day life. It is a restoration of a historic role that is truly sacramental in its own right. This canndt be overly emphasized. The diaconate is clearly distinct from and complementary to the presbyterate. It is, of its very nature, a valid ministry of service to the entire. church, because it reflects the church insofar as the deacon acts and ministers not as a solo agent. \ , At the same time, it is important to note that although the deacon must work in cooperation with the priest, he has his own distinct function in the church. His training and preparation period stressed that he must, as a man and husband, always keep his fundamental

portance of diaconal community. A candidate enters truly upon not only a new vision, but indeed a new life. To help him face its realities, the good days as well as the difficult days, he must have brothers who will give him the encouragement he needs to be effective in his ministry. The life of the member of the Permanent Diaconate community is, of its very nature, one of basic interdependence. In addition to knowing that he is not a solo agent, that he belongs to the larger fellowship of his brothers in the sacrament of Orders, the permanent deacon must always be cognizant of the fact that he is a member of a unique community in today's church. The diaconal community is one in which he will first find the dimension of personal spiritual growth and development that is a fundamental support to , his life in ministry. It is in this priorities in proper perspective. that his family will community As a married man, his wife and family come first; his job be able to share and grow with that is his own support, second; him as he reflects his gift of and his ministerial work in the service to the church.

Pontiff Balances Church, State

Question (orner •

•

By Father John Dietzen

Q. I recently attended a church ceremony in which a friend of mine received what we used to call Extreme Unction. Several people received the sacrameDt, including some who were young and didn't look sick at all. Isn't it necesary to be "in danger of death" to have this sacrament? And what is the proper name for it? rve heard it called several things. (Texas) A. This sacrament for the sick is one that has undergone significant development during during the past 15 years. First of all, the "Constitution on the Liturgy" of Vatican Council II required this development when it said, "Extreme unction, which may more properly be calIed the anointing of the sick (its official name today), is a sacrament not only for those who are in danger of death." According to our new rite for anointing of the sick, therefore, the requirement is not that an individual be in danger of death, but that he be "dangerously ill" either from sickness or advanced age. ,In other words, older people may be considered eligible for the sacrament simply because of the general infirmities of old age, even if they are suffering from no serious specific disease. Moreover, the illness need not be physical. Guidelines on this sacrament issued by the American bishops note, "Sickness is more than a medical phenomenon. Sickness is a crisis situation in the life of a Christian as regards his salvation his life with Christ in the co~munity of ~e church." Anointing of the sick may be administered, then, to people suffering from various kinds of spiritual or emotional crises. The official directions' concerning this sacrament mention , several specific circumstances in which people should be anointed - such as old age, before serious surgery, and sick children. All this may seem a rather long answer to your question. It simply means that there' could be many explanations for the situation you encountered. ~eople no longer need to be dy109, or even look sick; to receive the sacrament of the anointing of the sick.

Q. How does a person who has been away from the church for years redeem himself and get back to the faith? Or is that even possible? It would be like starting allover again - relearning prayers, how to act at Mass, and aU that. How ~oes one make confession after all these years? I could never remember all the sins since my last confession. (Mass.) A. Believe me, it is not nearly

as complicated or as difficult as it appears to you now. In fact, if you have decided that you wish to return to full practice of your faitIi, the hardest part is already over. Make an appointment with a priest you have confidence in, perhaps one that you have had occasion to see is considerate and thoughtful, and ask his help. It isn't at all necessary that you even know him now. He will guide you. If, you are ready and have made all the decisions necessary, it may alI be done in one visit with him - except for catching uJ?, as you say, on a lot that you may have missed through the years: But with your good will, that will come. The important thing is to take the first step.

CHA Seeks Role In Health Plans

Pontiff Expected To Visit Ireland DUBLIN, Ireland (NC) Pope John Paul II is expected to visit Ireland in late August, with official announcement of the trip expected after his trip to Poland, according to Irish Catholic leaders. It is believed that the pope has already informed the Irish .bishops that he will come, but the hierarchy will not confirm this. The government has not confirmed the visit either, but state agencies are working on the basis that he will take part in ceremonies at the Marian Shrine at Knock, Ireland, on Aug. 28 and will spend at least three days in the country. The pope is expected to travel as a pr!vate person and spend part of his visit in Dublin as guest of Archbishop Gaetano Alibrandi, papal nuncio to Ireland. The pontiff is expected to visit St. Patrick's College, Mayvisit St. Patrick's College, Mayinary. A trip to Northern Ireland, part of Great Britain, is not considered likely because of security problems and diplomatic complications. About 250,000 U.S. Catholics are expected to travel to Knock this year. Cardinals Humberto Medeiros of Boston and Timothy Manning of Los Angeles are due to lead pilgrimages.

James F. Lyons, executive director, and Sister Angela Francis, an assistant dir~ctor of St. Anne's Hospital, Fall iRver, were among 1200 delegates to the annual meeting of the Catholic Hospital Assn., held last week in San Francisco. At the meeting, delegates voted to change the association name to the Catholic Health Association of the United States. "The association is an ecc1esial community dedicated to and faithful to the healing mission of the church," a new mission statement for the association declares. "As such, its individual and corporate inspiration is Jesus and his Gospel message. Its mission is to witness in the power of the Spirit the abiding presence and healing ministry of Jesus. 'In the assembly's keynote address, Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco stressed the need for Catholic hospital officials to have an impact on the decision-making of the country's health care policies. "We need more systematic consideration in shaping a consistent moral policy" based on church teaching said Archbishop Quinn, who is also president of the U.S. Cathdlic Conference and the National Conference of' Catholic Bishops. It is necessary to form public policy about moral dilemmas, he added.

Knock is celebrating the centenary of an apparition there of "This is the test of our ability the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. to evangelize our culture. There John the Evangelist and St. is no question it is our right and Joseph. Many miraculous cures obligation to prescribe the space are said to have occurred at in which our religious and moral Knock, but, unlike Lourdes, it values can be affirmed and can has no medical bureau. . govern our institutions," the About one million pilgrims go archbishop told the hospital officials. to Knock annually.

Continued from Page Five church, it must be because the state's policies are opposed to the good of' th~ people or the nation. These were but some of the symbols or allusions used most frequently by the pope during his visit. He also spoke about owning land as a fundamental right, the right to working con- . ditions that allow a person time with his family, and the need for strong family life as a condition of a strong society and nation. On several occasions he also branched out to broader international themes. At Gniezno he issued a call for a new European unity based on the common Christian faith and spiritual values of Eastern and Western Europeans. At Czestochowa, meeting with the nation's bishops, he strongly backed the Vatican policy of normalization of church-state relations was begun in· earnest by ·Pope Paul VI, while insisting that for true normalization the state must respect human rights, including religious rights, of its citizens. And in a moving, hour-long homily at the Nazi concentration camp of Birkenau he pleaded for an end to war, respect for the dignity of every person, and respect for the rights and sovereignty of every nation. Most attention was paid to the controversial political implications of the pope's words and' actions, and the tensions between church and state were evident before and during the trip. Despite that, at its roots the papal visit was a religious one.

Time after time, especially in his days at the shrine to Our Lady of Czestochowa, a spiritual center for Polish Catholics, the pope urged the people to a strong religious faith, deeply grounded in their national religious traditions but also facing contemporary challenges. It was also a joyful homecoming of a famous native son, intensified by the pride and fervor of an intensely patriotic and religious people. The combined dimensions of patriotism, religion, and just plain love and popularity could ,be seen most clearly in the two songs most frequently sung by the hundreds of thousands who greeted him everywhere. They were "Sto-Lat," a traditional song wishing a loved one long life of 100 years, and "Boze Cos Folske," meaning "God Bless Poland." A farewell Mass before about 2 mmion people' capped the pope's visit to 'Poland and indicated the extent of his popularity. Nearly 2 million strong they came. From all over Poland. More than one-twentieth of the nation. All to one huge field near the center of Cracow. At 7 a.m. they were already filling the roadways all around the outskirts of Cracow. Parish groups - 300, 500, 1,000 strong - led by priests or altar boys, singing hymns or praying the rosary as they walked. Looking out over fields outside Cracow, one could see streams of human dots walking single file along paths between roads - all heading from distant parishes and towns to the city center.

The Blind Man Of Bethsaida

Abbot Marmion -- An Ideal Monk By Father Alfred McBride In the early 20th century, when most Catholics were nourishing their spiritual lives by personal devotions, Benedictine Abbot Columba Marmion was inspiring people to find spiritual riches in the Bible, the liturgy and the rule of St. Benedict. Irish by birth and upbringing, Marmion migrated to Belgium and became a monk and then abbot of Naredsous Abbey. He is remembered as a man who loved to laugh and make others laugh. He was also a gifted speaker. His retreats and sermons attracted so much attention that they were published .as books. His three most influential works were "Christ, the Life of the Soul," "Christ, the Ideal of the Monk" and "Christ in His Mysteries." At a time of concentration on the sinfulness of man and on his moral guilt, Marmion's approach was a breath of fresh air. He spoke of grace more than guilt. He preached of love more than sinfulness. In "Christ, the Life of the Soul," Marmion described the adventures a believer could have in a deep relationship with God. To those depressed by sin and guilt, Marmion held up the image of Jesus, standing in the throne room of heaven with outstretched arms, urging forth the ocean of the Father's love for the people of the earth. Marmion's sunny disposition had no time for the pessimism of "Christians who worried too much ahout whether God would forgive such sinful creatures as they. He helped people see how the seasons of the church year were times to enter deeply into the riches of Christ's acceptance and forgiveness. "Christ in his Mysteries," treated the great moments of liturgy Advent Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pene~ cost, celebrations of Mary and the saints - as times of faith that would help believers gain access to the mystery of Christ and his concern for people. Marmion insistently stayed with the virtue of faith as the key that opened the mystery of God. He stood easily between the poles of personal faith and the mystery of God and inspired his listeners and readers to do the same. . ~armion outlined a spiritual vIsion for monks in "Christ, The Ideal of the Monk." He took his basic premise from the rule of Benedict as dramatized in a scene at the gate of the monastery. A candidate arrives to join the monks. The abbot asks, "What do you seek?" 'Tn the ensuing dialogue, Benedict instructs future abbots

to discern whether the candidate is truly seeking Christ. That is to be the main criterion for entry and commitment to the monastic life. Marmion uses scholastic language to develop this point. Jesus is to be the exemplary cause of the monk's life and salvation. 'fhis means that Jesus is the role model for the monk. However, Jesus is also to be the efficient cause of the monk's holiness. Jesus is more than a sacred hero to be imitated. He is full of the transforming power of love that will renew and remake the heart and soul of the monk. Ma.rmion's writings transcend the ordinary in their style, but they are human in their intention and mood. He practiced what he preached and his canonization process has begun.

Just as. the events following the first interpretation of the multiplication of loaves ended with the cure of a deaf-mute (Mark 7,31-37), so the events following the second interpretation end with the giving of sight to a blind man at Bethsaida (Mark 8,22-26). Mark is the only one to record this latter miracle and it serves an important pur~ pose in his overall plan, which is a demonstration of the gradual recognition of Jesus and the .neeg of God's help to bring about that recognition. The story has many points of similarity to that of the cure of the deaf-mute. In both instances the event takes place outside Galilee. The afflicted person is brought to Jesus by others with

a request for a laying on of hands. In each instance Jesus takes the person away from the crowd, uses saliva and, after the cure, enjoins silence on him. There is no mention of exorcism or faith on the part of the individual. The cure of the blind man however, is distinguished by a~ unusual feature. Ordinarily the effect of Jesus' intervention was instantaneous. Here it is gradual. After putting saliva on the man's eyes and laying hands on him, Jesus asks him: "Can you see any thing?" The fellow opens his eyes and says, "I can see people, but they look like walk. ing trees!" A second time Jesus lays his hands on him and now he can see everything clearly (Mark 8,~3-25). Perhaps this seeming failure of the first attempt embarrassed Matthew and Luke so they omitted the incident. ' Whether or no, the story seems basically factual and its implications for Mark were most interesting. It illustrated that faith often comes gradually. He put it in its present position deliberately, just before the opening of the disciples' eyes to Jesus's identity as Messiah at Caesarea Philippi. Just as here there were two gestures of en路 Iightment in the case of the blind man, one of them accompanied by a question, so there were two questions about his identity directed to the disciples. Only after the second did Peter answer: "You are the Messiah" (Mark 8,29). Still, even this recognition was distorted by current ideas of what sort of person the Messiah was to be. So, when Jesus went on immediately to foretell ~is suffering and death, Peter' protested and Jesus had to reprimand him. . But :ven if they had recogOlzed him as the Messiah he intended to be, they would still ~~ve been seeing something like trees walking." For he was not just the long-awaited anointed one; he was also the Lord, the Son of God. This they would not, could not have known unless God intervened to open their eyes so that they "could see everything clearly." That intervention came only when he raised his Son from the dead. And even then, they at first "thought they were seein~ a ghost" (Luke 24,37). He still had to open their eyes and their minds to the full truth (Luke 24,45). Only then could they be commissoned to go forth and proclaim the good news to the whole world (Matthew 28,18-20).

Loneliness Continued from Page Twelve one can die my death for me. Alone, I go to the alone. Loneliness is the pain of being alone while solitude is the joy of being alone. What is the difference? All of us recall times of being alone in a crowd or of being shut out by someone we love. We want to tell the other what we are going through, but we are not understood. Loneliness can occur in old age, but perhaps the most primary form of loneliness occurs when we cut ourselves off from God. The solution to such loneliness is not to deny it by trying to lose ourselves in work or empty socializing, but to face how we are feeling and be drawn by pain into personal reflection. Now begins the transition from loneliness to solitude. I leave behind the smoke-filled cocktail party, the idle chatter, the superficiality of the crowd, . and go off on my own. I am under the stars by myself - alone - and yet not alone. Somehow I feel "with" myself, the self I really am. Such is a moment of genuine solitude, and it is a joy. In loneliness, we speak about being without friends, without hope for the future, seemingly without God. But solitude is a with-experience. It is being alone with my thoughts, in communion with those I love and with my God in prayer. Solitude deepens our communion with others and with God. The experience of solitude unclutters our lives of useless worries. We allow ultimate questions to surface: Who am I? Where is my life going? How can I follow best the directives of the Holy Spirit? In his poem of love between. the soul and God, the "Spiritual Canticle," St. John of the

He looked around and around, this way and that, amazed at all there was to see. He stared at the people. Then at the trees. The sheep and camels fascinated him. And the flowers. There was so much color: blue sky, green leaves and grass, yellow field flowers, clothes of every imaginable shade. It was all so new and exciting. Jesus was happy for the man but he did not want people to miss the point. He wanted them to see God's love and care in this striking cure. So he told the man not to tell anyone what had happened. But the people had seen everything and were very excited. What surprised Jesus' disciples was that the man only gradually was able to see. What they did not realize\illlwas that they were like the blind man. They, too, were only gradually coming to see Jesus as he really was. And in that they are not very different from us.

Cross has a haunting stanza that captures the meaning of solitude: She lived in solitude, And now in solitude has built her nest; And in solitude He guides her. He alone, who also bears In solitude the wound of love. Seeing the soul in such peaceful solitude, the beloved feeds her with every blessing and guides her to the high places of God. He finds her worthy to bear the wounds of love he was borne for her sake. Through solitude, she gains true peace and liberty of spirit. There can be no better way to conquer loneliness than to try with God's grace to transform it into solitude. If we take up the challenge offered by Scripture and the spiritual masters, we too may enjoy that deep companionship that exists between the soul and God, true liberty' of spirit and true knowledge of self. No matter where we happen to be, whether in a crowded bus or on a deserted beach, we may feel present to the divine source of all life. We see ourselves as God's children called to union with the Father and communion with creation.

Continued from Page Twelve deaf-mute and blind man, he had given the disciples "strict orders not to tell anyone about him" (Mark 8,30). It would have been dangerous and misleading to proclaim a half-truth, even more so to propagate a distortion. People who have enjoyed faith almost from birth tend to take it for granted. It is difficult for them to realize how necessary it is if they are to see the truth clearly, and they are as infrequently grateful for this inestimable gift as they are for路 their own two good eyes. Faith, like eyesight, can grow dim, and truth gets confused. People look like walking trees. Then God must step in with his healing touch so their sight can be restored and they can "see everything clearly" (Mark 8,25).

Dancing Continued from Page Twelve tainly has not been a common element of Roman Catholic worship in the past century. However, we hear or read of more and more occasions at which interpretative dance is finding its way into worship. Last Sunday, in a pioneering breakthrough for our parish, two junior high school ballet dancers developed a liturgical expression of thanksgiving after Communion. With "Day by Day" as accompaniment, the girls truly danced before the Lord. They had choreographed this on their own and executed the movement with great seriousness and reverence. The congregation was absolutely still. I detected tears here and there from persons moved by the event. At the conclusion, spontaneous applause broke out, a sign that people both approved and had been touched spiritually by this experience.

Words seldom have a single meaning. This is partly because language develops through time and, as social experience accumulates, every word gathers a' baggage of associations. Even the simple verb "to be" comes from two Sanskrit words, one meaning "to grow," the other "to breathe." That's a sort of fossil' record of an early social order in which humanity bad no generjc word for existence but could only note that something grew and breathed. We communicate with each other only if you grasp my meaning and I grasp yours. You speak to me and your words can touch me, move me deeply. In creating the universe, God did something else: He used words, he named his handiwork. The naming, the words were an intrinsic part of his act of creation. Words were used again when God formed man in his own image. Then man was asked to name things and the naming became a godlike act, so that language itself became an act of creation. However, language does not mirror an objective reality, the same for everyone from one historic period to another. Names highlight this, lowlight that, investing the thing named with special attributes. Language is as much an organ of perception as sight, touch, taste and hearing. Our words and concepts equip us with special contact lenses, as it were. An example: in English we say, "I swim." The words call attention to the "I" that swims. However, the water swims me as much as I swim. But the language clwoses to gloss over the relationship, to isolate me, the swimer, from the water to which I cleave.

Poets try to bring us back to the wholeness of water and swimer. Yeats asks: o chestnut tree, great-rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole? o ,body swayed to music, a bright'ning glance, How can we tell the dancer from the dance? The terms "national security" and "freedom of the press" mean different things to different people. We speak of "drug abuse" and an "energy problem," but to some the latter should be "energy abuse," the profligate use of earth's nonrenewable resources. The phrase "energy problem" attracts attention to the Middle East and our resources of supply. The two terms unreel diferent scenarios, Words in stories are powerful. Certain dramatic examples come to mind: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" helped deal a final blow to slavery; "David Copperfield" drove an early nail in the coffin of child labor; "Chicago," Upton Sinclair's novel about the meatpacking industry, hastened passage of the ,Food and Drug Act. There are also stories that influence us more subtly. Literary works are responsible for more basic forms of psychological'mapping, engaging the reader in silent converse, timing the pulse of an inner speech. We have gone from single to multiple meanings and perspectives. Thanks to Einstein, we - know that space is not continuous, not uniform, not divorced from time. Renaissance artists knew about geometric perspectives, but futurists and cubists transcended the single perspective, showing multi-dimensional conception of space; while abandoned the "out there" position, turning to stream of consciousness works moved to the inside of a character's awareness.

I know a child who had a book about a little girl who wanted to be a ballerina. I asked her to tell me about it. Suddenly she seemed to go into another world, investing the story with such feeling and imagination that I was entranced. I realized then that one cannot... pooh-pooh the mind-forming power of stOJies, myths, metaphors and expressive behaviors. I once asked a high school student what book made her cry as a child. Her answer was swift: "Charlotte's Web." She added, "I looked at every living thing in a new light after that book. I can still cry over the little spider."

Written by Marilyn Mason and Larry Hoppen; sung by Orleans (c) 1979, Infinity Records, Inc. Orleans' new album '~Forever" includes their recent hit single, "Love Takes Time." Orleans is a five-man group that features richly alive vocals combined with moving and uplifting rythms. "Love Takes Time" states its central message in the words of the refrain: "Love takes time and it's hard to find - you' got to take some time to let love grow." Few would disagree with such a solid approach to our loving. Music is ful'l of songs telling how people who fall in love too quickly are finally disappointed. Yet loving another cannot depend completely on a logical analysis. When we risk loving, we gain insight into a mystery that transcends reason. Further, when we fall in !love, we often discover our emotions are ahead of our thoughts. ,In the exhiliaration of this new experience, we can easily forget how love grows through commitment. It cannot always depend on powerfully felt feelings, but at times must flow from the act of the ~ill. As love grows, it discovers a balance between the power of emotional investment in another and the patience and caring required to explore the mystery of both individuals. Each of us possesses an incompleteness that seeks fulfillment in others. We are never whole without another's love. The power to complete the self lies in the mystery of God, but to love is to participate in this power.

tv, movie news Symbols following film reviews indicate both general and Catholic Film Office ratings, which do not always coincide. General ratings: G-suitable for general viewing; PG-parental guidance suggested; R"":'restricted, unsuitable for children or younger teens. Catholic ratings: Al-approved for children and adults; A2-approved for adults and adolescents; A3-approved for adults only; B-objectionable in part for everyone; A4-separate classification (given to films not morally offensive which, however, require some analysis and explanation); C-condemned, New Films "Newsfront" (New Yorker), a tribute to the vanished newsreel cameramen, is an Australian film which traces the lives of a veteran cameraman (Bill Hunter) and his new assistant (Chris Haywood). The Australian and world, scene of the 40s and 50s is woven into the narration, adding up to an appealing glimpse into a colorful era gone forever. However, tensions surrounding the hero's marriage, the love affairs that occur and the unsympathetic treatment of Catholic elements make this mature viewing fare. Pg, A3 "Crimebusters" (United Art· ists), an Italian-made film shot in Florida, is about two tough guys, played by Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. They spend most of their time beating up gansters and other antisocial types, first as freelance operators, then as policeman. A Bugs ,Bunny cartoon would be funnier and more sophisticated than this exercise in inanity. There is a good deal of violence. PG, A3 On TV "The Man Who Loved Bears," 7·8 p.m., Sunday, June 17 (ABC): Naturalist Marty Stouffer raises a female grizzly bear cub to prividea mate for a solitary male he had found in the Colorado mountains. He hopes thus to re-establish the animal in an area where it had previously reigned supreme. What the film lacks in slick nature photography it makes up for by helping us understand why people must respect and preserve the wildeme.ss instead of exploiting it. Narrated by Henry Fonda, this

is a worthwhile experience to be shared by the family. Sunday, June 17, 6-7 p.m. (PBS) "The Advocates." In a unique format combining courtroom confrontation with .balanced debate, this program considers the pros and cons of the question, "Should We Support the SALT Treaty?" Saturday, June 23, 1:30-2 p.m. (CBS) "Saturday Film Festival." An ll-year-old girl learns to trust her father's love in "The Promise," and a young boy discovers the importance of human integrity in "The Secret," two short films by Paulist Productions. Sunday, June 17 - "For Our Times" (CBS) "Death Education and Funeral Planning" (working title). A documentary exploration of recent advances in the counseling of the terminally ill and their families in confrontin~ the experience of death. Segments of the program involve interviews with patients as well as experts, clerical and lay, in this expanding field of research. Check local listings for time. Films on TV Sunday June 17,9 p.m. (ABC) - '~Harry and Tonto" (1974) Art Carney, in an Oscar-winning performance, plays a retired school teacher who becomes a pilgrim in a journey across America, accompanied by his cat, Tonto. It's a heartwarming film even though it contains many vulgarisms which make it questionable fare for younger viewers. A3 Saturday, June 23, 9 p.m. (CBS) - "Save the Tiger" (1972) - Jack Lemmon stars in this too-slick, sentimental story of a middle-aged executive facing a financial crisis which plunges him into despair. The subject and treatment make this a film for mature viewers. A3 On Radio Sunday, June 17 - "GuidelIne" (NBC) begins a series on Hispanic impact on American society and the U.S. church. Moises Sandoval, a Mexican-American and editor of Maryknoll Magazine, who recently completed a study of these subjects for the U.S. bishops, discusses the diversity of U.S. Hispanics.

Condemnation VATICAN CITY «NC)-For the first time in several years, the Vatican's Doctrinal Congregation has publicly condemned a theologian's teachings. In a declaration issued in early April the congregation said the book, "Quand Je Dis Deu" (When I Say God) by Dominican Father Jacques Pohier contains affirmations on the Resurrection and the afterlife "manifestly not in conformity with revelation and the magisterium." . On the same day Pope John Paul II took occasion to declare that the church needs "priests who build up and do not tear down when teaching faith and morals." He was speaking to students from Rome's pontifical schools.
