Pope demands Polish reforms, asks courage of people

Solidarity was the word

government's acti~)Os, ,saying that it has made needed reforms, that the worst was over and that history would judge his government more kindly and fairly. He promised that the martial law declared in Decem­ ber 1981 would finally be lifted as soon as:conditions allowed it.

But the pope, taking advan­ tage of one of the four occasions on which he was 'being allowed nationwide live exposure by the government-controlled television, clearly aligned 'himself with the Solidarity reforms as the start­ ing point for reviving Polish political life.

Saying that "it is like a state of war" when hUJ1lan ,rights are not protected and democratic participation in civil life is not allowed in a country, the pope said that Poland's social renewal would require dialogue in which A THOUGHTFUL PONTIFF listens to address of welcome by Polish government all sectors of society are repre­ leader Wojciech Jaruzelski.

In a not-so-veiled warning to Moscow against interference in Polish affairs, the pope also re­ peatedly proclaimed Poland's right to sovereignty and self­ determination as a nation.

Crowds greeting the pope everywhere raised their hands with fingers stretched out in a "V" for victory, a popular sym­ bol of support for the now-out­ lawed independent labor union, Solidarity.

In a tough two-hour private meeting with Poland's prime minister and president, the pope extracted an agreement to let him meet with Lech Walesa, former head of Solidarity and chief symbol of the Polish reform movement.

In his arrival speech the pope had declared that he came espe­ cially to visit, in spirit at least, those who were sick, suffering

Reminding the new ministers that "you have God himself in your hands and you are privi. leged to give him to your broth­ ers and sisters," the bishop chal­ lenged them ",to be as holy as the thing you are doing - dis­

Poland only .. the start ROME ~NC) - Poland is only

the start of a new series of

journeys planned by peripatetic'

Pope John Paul II. He is expect­

ed to visit several countries in

southern Africa later this year

or in 1984, it has been reported

by the Italian news agency Ansa.

Ansa said the African is ex­

pected to coincide with an as­

sembly in Harare, Zimbabwe, of

the interregional meeting of

bishops of Southern Africa.

Alexandre do Nasci­ . Cardinal \ mento of Lubango, Angola, said

the papal visit would include

Zimbabwe, Zambia, Moambique

and perhaps Angola and Mada­

gascar, but that the Republic of

South Africa had definitely been excluded from the pope's itiner­ ary, Ansa reported.

The Ansa report appeared on

the day of the pope's departure for Poland on the 18th trip out­

side Italy since the beginning of

his four-and-a-half-year pontifi­ cate.

Other papal trips scheduled for this year are to Lourdes, France, Aug. 14-15, and to Austria Sept.

10-13.

Ansa said Pope John Paul also was expected to' make at least four trips in 1984: to the Far East (South Korea, Thailand and perhaps Vietnam), Switzerland, Canada and Latin America (Ven­ ezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador).

WASHINGTON (NC) - The nation's long-running abortion debate got a boost in 'mid-June when the Supreme Court reaf­ firmed its 1973 abortion decis­ ions and strucR down a series of regulations that pro-lifers had hoped would be a model for the nation. .

• The court's June 15 abortion ruling was greeted with joy by pro-abortionists and criticism by pro-lifers. Both sides agreed that it would spark pro-life efforts to enact new abortion restric­ tions President Reagan mourned the decision, which came in related cases from Missouri, Virginia and Akron, Ohio.

Saying the "great moral is­ sue" involved in abortion is "the taking of the life of an unborn child," he called on Congress "to restore legal protections for the unborn." ' Cardinal Te~nce Cooke of New York, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Pro-life Committee, said the decision was "very dis­ appointing to all who revere hu­ man life."

In its main ruling (City of Ak­ ron vs. Akron Center for Re­ productive Health), the justices on a 6-3 vote declared uncon­ stitutional .five restrictive pro­ visions of an' Akron abortion c.ontrol ordinance.

In a separate case from Miss­ ouri (Planned Parenthood vs.

Ashcroft) the court struck down . a statewide second-trimester hospitalization requirement simi­ lar to Akron's.

In a 'third case {Simopoulos vs. _Virginia) the <:ourt in an 8-1 de­ cision upheld the conviction of a physician who performed a second trimester abortion in his unlicensed clinic in violation of Virginia law. The court said the Virginia law was constitutional because it does not limit second trimester abortions' to hospitals but permits them in licensed clinics as well.

Writing for the majority in all three cases, Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. said that despite ar­ .guments that the court had err­ ed in its original 1973 abortion decision in Roe vs. Wade the court would adhere to its prece­ dent. '~We respect it today, and reaffirm Roe vs. Wade," he wrote.

In a stinging 25-page dissent Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said the court should have judged whether the Akron regulations were "unduly burdensome" 'on a woman's right to abortion. She said none of the Akron provis­ ions met that criterion and thus should have been' upheld as ra­ tionally related to legitimate state interests.

The Senate. was expected to debate the issue further next week when a constitutional amendment on abortion spon­ sored by Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) is scheduled to reach the Senate floor. Hatch concedes that his proposal lacks the two­ thirds vote necessary for pass­ age, but says the issue needs full airing in the Senate.

Listen for Yourself /

An interesting full-page ad with many high-powered sponsors appeared in last Sunday's New York Times. It pleaded for broad-based support to save National Public Radio in general. Its real concern,however, centered around two NPR productions that seem -to be in unique trouble.. namely, the. news and information programs Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

The massive' aid appeal was depicted as necessitated by cutbacks in federal funding. In passing,' and' perhaps more accurately, it was mentioned that hoped-for revenue sources did not materialize. All in all, it'seems that a series of shortfalls in income led NPR into its seve~e deficit. Thus the appeal.'

From the outset, it should be noted· that NPR in some aspects has been a blessing. Into today's radio jungle, it has brought at least a token of civilizatio,n. In its 12 years of existence it has been a wonderful source of the best in classical, folk and jazz music. Its programming for the visually handicapped, "Reading Aloud," offers exceptional I. entertainment. For such services, and many others, NPR does indeed deserve public support.

It is unfortunate, then, that the mentality, thrust and editorial judgment of Morning Edition and All Things Con- . sidered leave much to be desired. Every weekday morning and evening their reporters cover their material in a manner they consider unique and innovative. They fail to note that often it is also quite onesided. ' I . ~ Selection of topics, political philoso'phy and presentation 'Eye h;~tIhOnot seen, nor ear heard, neith,er hath it entere~ int~ t~e he~rt of man, are quite predictable. Frequently it seems'that program- " .. what things God hath prepared for ~hem that love him.

doldrums

"I dread summer," said a young mother. "Some peo­ ple get the winter doldrums but I get the summer dol­ drums. It seems like we're al­ ways at one another's throats when the kids are home. Do you have any suggestions for making it easier?

Yes, I do. From dozens of mothers in stress workshops, I've culled some useful methods to offset constant exposure to one another, the what-is-there-to­ do syndrome, and the how-many­ times - do - I - have - to - tell ­ you refrain that becomes the na­ tional anthem in summer fami­ lies.

Here they are. Study them, post them, and try a few. They might help you get through September still liking one an­ other.

A Chore a Day. Set up a special chore for every child every day. Not something rou­ tine like making their beds but chores like these: clean the toaster, straighten the Tupper­ ware shelf, make carrot sticks, refold the towels in the linen closet, put all the games to­ gether and mend the corners of the boxes, categorize the canned goods, . sort a pile of recipes, make cookies, rake the old leaves out from under all the bushes, clean' the bathroom grout, put snapshots in the al­ bum, w$sh the outside of the spice jars, sort the canning lids, thread, or coupons, etc. Make a

list of their chores every night for the following day and post it.

This is in addition to the rou­ tine chores like dishes and laun­ dry. It makes up for the increased clutter that comes with increased family around. It gives kids a sense of responsibility, a chance to learn some new skills, and it shows them they are expected to finish the chore or they can't play after supper.

Don't nag at them. Just check at supper and those who haven't finished their special chore ­ and finished it acceptably - can­ not play, watch TV or do any­ thing else until it's done. Be creative. Make long lists of things to be done around the house and allocate them accord­ ing to your children's ages and skills. .

A Book a Week. Set a mini­ mum of a book a week to be read or looked at by each child.

Once a week, take them to the library so they can pick out what interests them. We're a nation that is more concerned that our children know how to read than that they actually read. What's the point of being able to read if they aren't getting any en­ couragement to do it, especially in the summer when they have time to lose themselves'" in fan­ tasy and fiction.

Allocate Turfs. At the begin­ ning of summer, divide your front and back yards into as many sections as you have chil­ dren. Name them East Turf/West Turf or A, B, C, and D Turfs or Utopia, Suburbia -:- whatever.

Whenever serious wrangling or fighting begins, say immediately, "Turf time - 15 minutes." This means they have to go to their own turf and stay there until Regulate TV Time. Don't al­ time is up. If they continue to low it on all day but save it for fight or step out of their turf, the tense 4-6 p.m. slot. If ~he extend the time.

If they haven't, leave aren't listening, they'll soon stop. it until the next day or later. Let Alone Time. Set a 15-30 min­ TV be a reward, not background ute period of time alone for each tension.

Talking the tall~, walking the wall~

The Trinity was sitting around up in Heaven, gab­ bing about matters of mu­ tual interest. "Requests, re­ quests, requests, it seems that's all we ever get," the Holy Spirit complained. "People are always asking me for something, es­ pecially now that the church is into Pentecost. You would think they would say a prayer of thanks once in while. But no, 1 get almost nothing but petitions."

"I know what you mean," the Son said. "People want this, they want that, they want the other thing. Want, want, want.

Get, get, get."

"And look what we already gave them," the Father said.

"You would think people would show a little gratitude. We gave them the sun to keep them warm, water to drink and swim in, trees to shade and shelter them, all kinds of food that. is both nutritious and delicious, intellects to create the art and science that make life fascina­ ting and comfortable, bodies for sports that put health and fun and competition into living.

These are just a few of the gen­ erous gifts we gave them. 1 mention them right off the top of my head. 1 could go on and on, but you get the picture. Yet how often do we hear a thank you for these things? Very sel­ dom."

"What's worse, I'm even catching flak for the bishops' pastoral letter," the Holy Spirit put in. "Would you believe the gall of these people! 1 overheard Reel the writer telling some­ body that the Holy Spirit sure must love windy rhetoric be­ cause the bishops 1 personally picked put out a 44,000 word letter:" .

"Well?" said the Son, with a sardonic smile. The Father was grinning, too.

"Hey, come on guys, gimme a break," the Holy Spirit said.

I'm getting enough grief from humans. Don't lay that pastoral letter on me. Just because 1 pick' bishops doesn't mean my personal imprimatur is on every­ thing they say. Beside, 1 thought it was a good pastoral even if it was awfully wordy."

"Let's not get started on the pastoral," the Father said. "The West German bishops had a different emphasis in their peace pastoral, 1 noticed."

"I guess a lot. depends on where you live," the Son said.

"If the Communists are in the nation next to you, breathing down your neck, you are glad to have a nuclear deterrent. If the Communists are a whole ocean. away, you can allow your-

self the luxury of being a big libera!."

"Anyway, the pastoral has people thinking, and that's the main thing," the Holy Spirit said. "People are thinking and talking about peace. You have to give the bishops credit for that. If peace breaks out, if there is a move toward disarma­ ment, if international tensions ease and a nuclear build-down begins, the world will have the bishops to thank. The bishops.

My bishops. I picked them. 1 hope Reel the writer remembers."

"If 1 know Reel the writer, he'll probabBy try to take the credit himself," the Father said.

"Probably," the Son agreed.

"But Reel the writer isn't a bad guy. He's just a little wacky. At least he has a sense of humor."

"And I'll say this for him, he always ends his prayers by say­ ing, 'Thy will be done'" the Holy Spirit said. "Reel told me once that whenever he follows his own will, he ends up in a terri­ ble dead end. So he said he would try ito follow my will, even though he didn't expect to like it."

"That's what he says, but talk Is cheap," the Father said. "I don't want to hear a sermon, I want to see one. Reel can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk?"

"The wonderful thing about worshiping us three persons in one God is that any Christian can walk the walk simply by re­ lying on our grace," the Son said. "That's the message 1 Wish we could get across. People don't have to ask us for any­ thing; we've already given them everything. I died for their sins, for example. We know their needs before they ask. Our power js their power. All they have to do is be receptive to the grace of God." "And they might think to say thanks once in a while," the Holy Spirit said. And the Father and the Son nodded in agree­ ment.

Humble Work "Very humble work, that is where you and 1 must be. For there are many people who can do big things. But there are very few people who will do the small things •.. We can do very little for the people, but at least they know that we do love them and . . . are at their disposal."

In other years her travels have taken her to nearly every' Euro­ pean countrr, some many times.

Two days a week she visits Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro as a eucharistic min­ ister.

Overall, her educational phi~ losophy is expressed in an arti­ cle she wrote for "Now News."

In it she said: "By striving to instill Christian principles of be­ lief and action in our students, by introducing them to the best minds which humanity ,has known, I am fighting the sub­ versive influence of th,e drug subculture which teaches peo­ ple to turn off and tune out the problems of life."

As for her students, her year­ book staff, writing i~ the 1982 Flashback, declared: "It is the best feeling we know, to see our work, our layouts, and our own words printe4, bound and distributed to hundreds' of peo­ ple."

Sister Enda makes that feel­ ing possible.

Gordon Baker, anniversary chairman and a charter meinber of the New 'Bedford unit, re­ counted the unit's history of se'rvice to unwed mothers, noting that it began shortly after the 1973 Supreme Court pro-abor­ tion decision.

Present for the program and a following social hour were members from Acushnet, Fair­ haven and Dartmouth as well as New Bedford.

Advises students CHICAGO (NC) Kevin Ross, a former Creighton Uni, versity basketball player who left the school with minimal language and math skills and without a degree, was com· mencement speaker for his eighth-grade or younger class­ mates at Chicago's Westside Preparatory School.

Ross left Creighton,' a Jesuit­ run school in Omaha, Neb., in the spring of 1982. Creighton paid for Ross to at~nd West­ side. With a reading ~~vel now approaching that of a college freshman, Ross said he plans to re-enter college, this time in the Chicago area.

.church, as well as a lack of understanding of the significance of the constitutional terms, "separation of church and state."

This concept is not widely under· stood and you are not alone in your failure to recognize the existence or non-existence of churcb-and-state issues withi!l the meaning of the Constitution.

This is not a church/state issue, and no' constitutional questions are involved. .

It is simply a case of the church saying to one of its vow· ed religious: "You are in viola· tion 0 :fthe church teaching, your conscience, and your vow of obedience if you maintain your present position." Sister Mansour has made her decision. It wUl not affect the availability of abortions for the poor in Michigan any more than if she had left her position with the state. Public money will pay for abortions with or witho~t her.

Not'is her present position the only way in .which she can fulfill her' vow Of ·'setvice to the poor, sick, uneducated and oppressed." Mother Teresa in the streets of India does that as well the head of any state bureau,~. 8@.~ she resi4Ded, Sister Mansour would hav.. been actiD8 il) c;onformity wif:h h~r cons. dience-:'tDe' £hurch's t"emrlg'and' all of her vows; and the poor of Michigan would still;J1ave funds available for abortiods.But this choice of Sister Mansour is ap· parently only a temporary one, because she hopes someday to return too' the 9fsters of Mercy.

So MUch for "conscience" and "courilge."

Incidents such as this reveal the rationale behind the church's policy of discouraging its vowed religious from serving as elected or appointed positions in secular governments. The church is concemed with the spiritual health of its members as well as service to the worldwide commonity.

Well-meaning individuals of all Jdnds who serve in responsible positions in government Ire-

Sister Mansour has rationalize(l her failure to folloW' her conscience and the church's teaching by maintaining that poor people have the ~e legal right to do that whic:1\ she opposes as do'wealthy people. But that legal right is in place and her ..,signation would not have changed that. The church's, teaching on' abortion focuses On the life which is being' terminated and the econOmic status of the mother is not the issue.

She has sought to justifY her failure to live up to her vow of obf>dience by creating own de(iDition of the words "an ·obedience born of mutual diaJogue and openness to seek the truth." Is this the vow she took?

In trendy· language, she is simply saying, "If I don't agree, I don't have to obey'" The speed, dignity, good grace, . and obvious pain with which Robert F. Drinan, S.J., resigned his elected seat in Congress after sev~ral terms in which he served his district, his state, and his country with distinction was indeed a remarkable act of conscience, courage and obedience to his vows.

With all due respect to YQur opinons, Sister Mllnsour'sdecision ~as not; ~nd your sweep· ing criticism-of the church's action in this unfortunate situation was unwarranted and ill con~ sidered.

A problem ':Vedding

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

Dear Mary: I have a 21-year­ old daughter who at 19 had an abortion. After the abortion she wanted to stop going out with this boy. The boy became so mad he came and told her father and me what they had done, thinking we would put our daughter out. We did not do that, but it was the end of the love affair for three months.

Now she wants to have a big CathoUc wedding and marry this same boy that we don't want her to marry.

She is excommUDicated from the church. Is there any way she can get back into the CathoUc Church?

She is makfng aU the wedding plans herself. Her father and I don't want to attend it because of what she and the boy did.

Can you heJp? - Pennsylvania You pose several problems.

Some are yours. Some belong to your daughter to handle.

What is your daughter's status in the church? Do your daughter and her fiance know what sac· ramental \ marriage is? Dothey want to contact such a marri­ age? Do they want to make a Christian commitme~t? Your daughter and' her fiance must work out these questions with her pastor or other church minis­ ter. The church will not support them if they merely want a nice

backdrop for an elaborate wed­ ding.

Your problem is what stance you and your husband take.

Marriage involves the whole community, not merely the couple. When parents of the bride put on a wedding, they in effect present this new family unit to the community. Because of the couple's past actions, you do not support your daughter's marriage. To endorse it publicly by putting on a big wedding would be hypocritical.

Your problem contrasts with interracial marriage, a subject we have discussed previously.

In interracial marriage the couple has done no wrong. Barirers lie in the hate and prejudice of the community. Parents who sup­ port such a marriage take a pub-' lie stand against hate and pre­ judice.

Your daughter is marrying a man who supported her abor­ tion and who tried to break up the relationship between her and her family. His behavior has been unloving both to her and to you.

Parents whose daughter was engaged to a man who beat her would face the same situation.

In such cases a stand against the marriage is a stand against un­ loving behavior and a marriage which in your judgment gives little promise for success.

Perhaps time could heal the differences between you and your daughter. Would she be willing to wait a year? Let time test their feelings for each other. The couple would have a chance to heal the wounds of their past mistakes. Perhaps you might be more supportive of their marriage if they postponed it for a while. ' You probably do not want to alienate your daughter forever.

If she does proceed with plans, you might attend the wedding your daughter ararnges, but take no active part in the prepa­ ration.

In effect, you are saying to your daughter, "I feel you are making a serious mistake, and I don't agree with your choice.

However, you are my daughter, I shall always love you, and I want to help in ,whatever way I can. Therefore, I am coming to your wedding, and I hope we can stay in touch with each other," Let your daughter handle her problems. Your task is to keep loving her without supporting actions which may prove un­ loving and dest111Cllive. Good Luck.

Living will Dear Editor: I am writing to comment on the lead question, "About Living Wills," in Fr. John Dietzen's cQlumn (Anchor, June 3).

The answer comments on legislation of living wills and offers personal reflections on living wills. I feel that the an­ swer is too negative.

In general I agree that there is no need to legislate this mat­ ter. I disagree 'with Father that not the California law is that bad." In fact the California Natural Death Act is fraught with defects and statistics indi­ cate that very few people have used its provisions.

I differ with Father's broad, accusing, negative statements about living wills. I would like to offer some counterpoint statements: It

Should a person become ter­ minally ill away from familiar surroundings and caregivers, the living will helps persons in­ volved with care know that life in the flesh is not the primary goal of the individual.

Signing a living will is 'OOt tantamount to signing one's life away. The process of deciding to execute such a document should include consultation with per­ sons close to the individual as well as pastors, physicians, law­ yers, etc. Communication of in­ tent is very important in this matter.

Hoop back at USF SAN FRANCISCO (NC) - The University of San Francisco will resume its NCAA Division I basketball program in 1985-86 but will not try to be the na­ tional power it was in past years, according to Jesuit Father John Lo Schiavo, USF president.

He said the university will no longer recruit players from out of state and will not seek na­ tional exposure.

Father'Lo Schiavo announced temination of the USF basket­ ball program in 1982 following a series of scandals, including

recruiting violations which re­ curred despite university efforts to put a stop to them.

The termination of the pro­ gram ended a 58-year era in which the USF Dons reached the NCAA national tournament 14 times, won the national championship twice and pro­ duced such basketball gre~ts as Bill Russell and K. C. Jones.

Father Lo Schiavo said the decision to resume the inter­ collegiate basketball program but with more modest goals was approved by the USF Board of

Trustees.

When the USF Dons resume play in 1985-86 they will again be in NCAA Division I in the West Coast, foregoing such games as their previous annual rivalry with Notre Dame.

"I think when you start talk­ ing about the big guarantees, television appearances and tournaments in New York, your athletic program begins to build up a life of its own. It just grows and gets all out of proportion,"

Father Lo Schiavo said.

Concerning the USF Booster Club, which had been a key element in the NCAA violations, he said the club would be allow­ ed to continue under a new name, the Dons' Century Club, but will be prohibited from haM­ ling donations for the university.

Father Lo Schiavo also said that the university will demand· the ,same academic standards from its basketball players as from any other student. That has always been the university's policy, he said, but it may not always have been strictly en­ forced.

Once Moreau's secret is out, however, the film degenerates into rather ineffec­ tive melodrama with consider­ ,able violence and bloodshed.

PROGNOSIS: POOR

I

People see quickly the great promise in this kid.

Mike is a tough one: a lo'ng .history of casual; Vicious, amoral violence. In his last placement, Mike crept into a kid's f_o.om late at night and smashed him with a baseball bat while he was asleep.

According to Mike, who explained it to me with an air of wounded innocence, the kid provoked it. He was just get­ ting even. That is very important to Mike, getting even­ and getting over. That's even more impo'rtant.

With an 1.0. of 130, he's one of the brightest kidsin Cove­ nant House. Handsome, muscular, sharp, skilled, . 'manipulative, as rigid as abar of steel, Mike has almost no self understanding and even less insight into human relationships. Words like trust, faith, caring, just make his eyes glaze. A dozen psychiatrists have had a go at him­ their evaluations mixed but uniformly bad. The written reports always end with the chilling comment, prognosis: • poor. Translations: Mike's not going to make it. The human reality is that Mike will probably spend most of his life)n jail after he is caught for killing somebody.

He's been "placed" in ten different institutions before he came to Covenant House-and rejected by a dozen others as "inappropriate." Nobody knows what to do about orfor a very bright strpng hurting dangerous youngster who, as a child, was terribly abused by a sick mother.• We told Mike he could stay on certain conditions: to begin with, that he keep the rules. He had to. It was either that or a jail cell. We were pretty hard-nosed about it. You have the power, man, was all he said. His daily counseling sessions didn't go well at all. They almost invariably ended with Mike becoming enraged and stomping out of the of­ fice. He always said goodbye.'

Mike's favorite books are The Godfather and The Exor­ cist. He believ~s in and fears the devil; he denies and Father Bruce Ritter, OFM Conv., is the founder and President of Covenant House/UNDER 21, which operates crisis centers for homeless and runaway youth.

couldn't care less about God. His hero is an uncle who fur­ nished his entire hou'se with stolen property. When I ex­ pressed sympathy fo'r his shamed teenage cousins who had to know their father was a thief, Mike was totally and genuinely surprised. ,whatya mean? He got over! If he's' smart enough, more: power to him! Everybody does it.

Everybody's like thatl ' r

"Mike is desperate. He sees the handwriting on the wall...h'e has seen it before!"

I

.!

What about,telling! the truth, Mike, and keepingyo.ur word, not stealing,. and ripping off, and what about honor, and courage, and integrity... 1don't want to talk about stuff like that. I want to change the subject. You're trying to get inside my head. I'm only a 14-year-old boy. I don't want to talk about any heavy ideas. I can't understand thaLMike stormed out again, screaming a furious goodbye back.at us.

Mikehas totally concrete ideas about what "being good" 'is. Keeping the rules ;when you have to and not getting caught when you'don';t pretty well sums up his code. Mike is very bright and he knows exactly what we want to hear.

He wanted to prove to us that he could be good, not just because we'd throw him out of Covenant House, but to be good...He trailed of1...1 think for amoment he wasn't sur~ if he wanted to mean itlor just get over on us.

,Mike is desperate...he sees the handwriting on the wall...he has seen it 10-15 times before; nobody can live with him. I don't think we can either. That's a very hard thing for me to say. Not because I think we're miracle workers but because Mike still is, somewhere, inside there, a good kid. But we can't reach him-he won't let us.

Maybe he can't. It's probably both our fault. If we were better, wiser, stronger, holier, we might have made it with, him.

It's not easy to write about akid'i think we're going to fail with. Please-pray for him, pray for us. He needs God's help desperately. I think Mike will be helpless and powerless without the help of a God he doesn't believe in.

Our prayers, our sacrifices, our beseechings do count. do help, and I think, right now for Mike, are his only chance.

Thanks for being our friends, and friends to our kids and for helping us, It really does mean a lot.

, "One of our staff dJembers found a knife ander hi~ mattress." ' , i

One of our staff fouM a knife under his mattress. Mike wasn't going to use it, he said. l1e just liked to have it around "for protection." Violence, barely controlled, simmers behind his eyes and pours,out of his mouth. He's been making a lot of bad friends in the past month, an­ tagonizing the staff and intimidating the other kids. He can no longer control his! anxiety about possibly being dis­ charged from Covenan't House and is making open threats: If. t.h~y,throw me out I~m going to kill somebody.
