Appeal for Helpless Dearly beloved in Christ, These days much is said about the,so-called "Third World" and .its inhabitants, the peoples of Latin America, Africa and Asia. . The seeds of our Faith have been long and deeply sewn in some areas of this "Third World;" other regions have barely heard the name of Christ proclaimed. Physical distress abounds in these areas and it is'axiomatic that the proclamation of the Gospel can bear little fruit unless the miseries of poverty, disease and hunger are alleviated. Annually on the last Sunday of June a special collection is taken up in parishes of the Diocese to assist programs of social -endeavor in Latin America and to facilitate the immense pastoral task of caring for the Catholic millions who inhabit our neighboring continent.

This year, in addition to providing assistance for Latin America, in response to urgent appeals from the National Office of the Catholic Relief Services, a portion of the proceeds of the collection to be taken at Masses next weekend will be allocated to the 0'#• •_ . . - , . _•. staggering task of providing immediate. care for Pakistani refugees, innocent victims of a vicious civil war which has wreaked predictable havoc" among God's 'belovel:l poor.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI.urged the sick, lame and retarded present at his Corpus Christi Mass in St. Peter'~ Basilica "offer your sufferings for the Church." To the thousand or so patients of Rome hospitals who sat in wheelchairs or reclined on stretch'ers before him in the huge church, ,the Pope r~alled St. Paul's words on suffering: "What is lacking of the sufferings of Christ I fill up in my flesh for His BodY,which is the Church" (Col. 1, 24). The Pope exclaimed: "Here is something big and new: suffering is no longer useless. If united to Christ's pain, our pain takes on something' of His expiatory power, of His redemptive power, of His saving power." In asking those who suff~r to offer their pain for the Church, he added: "Yes, for' the whole ',Church and for this Roman Church in particular. Perhaps you know its needs." Referring to the feast of Corpus Christi, which celebrates' Christ's p'resence in the Eucharist, Pope Paul described Communion as "the fusion of your suffering" with the suffering of Christ.'" . During' the Pope's Mass, a blind man read to the congrega-. tion from a scriptural text i~ braille. Several other persons, in'eluding a" young boy, were· brought forward in wheelchairs to lead the congregation in prayer. Pope Paul distributed Communion' to more than 100 of the sick, while 10 ,priests were kept 'busy 'giving Communion to ~ others.

Priests Named To Pre-Cana \ The Most Reverend Bishop today appointed three priests as members of the Pre-Cana Board in Fall River and Taunton. Appoin'ted were: For Fall River, Rev, Barry W. Wall, assistant pastor at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River; for Taunton, Rev, Paul F. .!\1cCarrick, 'assistant, pastor at Sacred Heart Parish, Taunton, and Rev. Robert F. Kirby, assistant pastor at Holy Family Parish, Taunton.

Charges Priests Plot Invasion'

~ __

BUENOS AIRES (NC) - The Argentine government has accused the Third World Movement of Priests of encouraging farm workers to invade the cities and paralyze them by blocking traffic with their vehicles and tools. Officials said the plot was hatched during a May meeting of subversive groups from nine nations at Montevideo in neighboring Uruguay. But Uruguayan authorities, who have been keeping a tight' surveillance on the Tupamaros and other guerrilla groups i11 their country, said the charge "has little credibility." An Uruguayan foreign, relations official said this' is the second time in two years that Ar, gentine authorities have claimed that groups in Montevideo are plotting against Argentina. "It is about time they choose another place, like San Marino or Andorra," he added. , Both are' small independent principalities in Europe.

.Pauline Epistle Continued from Page Sixteeh ment. One need only consult New Testament Abstracts the allinclusive interconfessional record of current periodical literature published 'three times yearly by' Weston College School of Theology, Cambridge. I quickly found summaries of 10· important articles on this passage in the last 10 volumes. There is' general agreem'int that the passage is an early Christian hymn, most likely for the baptismal liturgy, that it is a song of deep theology, that it speaks of Christ in terms taken from the Wisdom books of the Old Testament (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, etc.), that the dominant theme of the first part is Christ the Creator, or Christ as Mediator in Creation (15-18a), and of the second part' Christ the Redeemer, or Christ as Mediator in Salvation (l8b-20). Then come the disagreements. Some think Paul is the author of the hymn, others that he took an already existig hymn and added certain phrases to it, still others that the hymn was tucked' into the letter not by Paul but by a later theologia!1 in the Pauline tradition. I think that, as far as :VOIl are concerned, the dispute is a minor ORIGINATOR: Jitka Samokova, who drew UNICEF's one, since it is probably enough for YOl\) that the passage is part shown with her two children.

THE ANCHORThurs., June 24. 1971

Each Moment Continued from Page Sixteen At Cana, despite His Mother's feelings, He realized that His "hour" had not yet come. (In. 2:4). Much later He recognized the appropriate moment that .revealed His Father's will, realizing then that, "the ~our has come for the Son of Man to be glorified" (In 12:23). At the Last Supper, as He rose to wash the feet of His disciples, He "realized that the· hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father" (In 13:1). .Jesus' teaching urges us to imitate His sensitivity to the moment of gra<:e. In the parable of the wise and foolish virgins Jesus teaches the consequences of sensitivity and preparedness for the moment of His coming and concludes:

first greeting card' in 1949, is

to help the needy and distressed Jitkos around the world. In addition, they've helped to take some of the materialistiC snobbery out of Christmas-card giving. They are simple and inexpensive cards and they carry greetings from millionaires and from office clerks-people who want to help the children of the world.

Christian Brothers Honor Milton' Serle MORAGA (NC)-Milton Berle, named to receive the 1971 Genesian . award of St. Mary's College here in .California, suggested that retired Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen might have nominated him. The comedian quipped that he and the archbishop "had the same sponsor-Skychief." He recalled Archbishop Sheen competed with him when Berle was known as Mr. Television on the Texaco Hour during the 1950s. Berle added that the archbis.hop "had better writers than I-Mark, Luke, John, etc." The Genesian award is named after the patron saint of actors.

"The moral is:, keep your eyes open, for you know not the day or the' hour" (Mt 25:13). In words taken up· by the Second Vatican Council Jesus chides the crowds for being so much more sensitive to the signs of changing weather than to the "signs of the times" indicating' His presence (Lk 12:57). He wept over Jerusalem because the people had failed to recognize the moment of His coming (Lk 19:44). . They had been rigidly expecting God's coming in another way, and so missed the opportunity of a lifetime. Each tim'e we notice a photograph that captures' the unique instance which reveals what to most of us remains hidden, we can recall that the Holy Spirit is with us to make possible sensitive responsiveness to the moments in life that reveal the presence and activity of God in a spec!~1 way. The Holy Spirit rs given to us to make po~sible the suppleness, openness and flexibility that allows us to notice Him in daily life and to respond to Him with freedom.

STOCKTON (NC)-The Stock· ton diocesan information office has. reported· that some 40 ministers, priests, Sisters and sem- , inarians hav.e offered to m.ediate qisputes between farm laborers and growers in this area. . "The obvious signs of Spring and harvest h~ve arrived," a statement of the group'.said. "It is likewise obvious that, tension bet~een farmers and farm laborers are .increasing." They expressed hope that the disputants would negotiate their differences, adding "we now 'offer our serVices and resources for the resolution of the dispute. "Our reason for making this statement is- that we feel a divided community is no' com· munity," they said. This is an area which has been involved in' the long standing, disputes between unionized farm workers led' by Cesar Chavez and many growers of fruits, vegetables and other produce.
