PATRICIA DUFFY discusses "career tree" with Paula Wilbur, second grade teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes School, Taullton. (Torchia Photo)

Flexing BICEPs

Many people think teachers spend their summers much like many of their students - on the beach, dO' the country, or otherwise enjoying a laid back lifestyle.

It's not always true.

Take the 18 teachers who began ,this summer with a jampacked week at a Project BICEJP in-service course con· ducted at St. 'Mary's School, Fall River, and at the BICEP resource center in Hyannis. ,BICEP is an acronym for Barnstable Instructional Career Education Program. It was developed by a brown-eyed whirl­ wind named Patricia Duffy, who presented it under auspicer of the diocesan department of education and the inservice . education program of Bridgewater State College.

In exchange for their highpowered week of total concen­ tration on BICEP, the 18 teachers received three graduate credits from Bridgewater.

It seems a quick three credits, but classes totaled 37Y2 hours, the same as a convent,ional graduate course spread out over a semester, pointed out participants.

BICEP, explained Ms. Duffy, had its start In 1977, when she began developing a career education program for 5th anc' 6th graders in the ·Barnstable school system. Soon she realized that such education should really begin 'in the earliest grades, that children should understand that nearly everything they learn is or can be career-related.

"When we teach trees dn second grade, for linstance," said Ms. Duffy, "we can talk about all the careers that depend on wood products.'!

The dua:1 concept of relating careers to sohool subject~ and of raising the dignity of the individual so that no matter what work is finaHy chosen, he or she wdH realize its impor­ tanoe earned Ms. Duffy a federal grant for development of "an innovative program tha,t coul<J he appJ:ied nationwide."

Today 32 states use 'BICEP as a "validated" inservice pro­ gram for teachers, counselors and administrators.

Validated, says Ms. Duffy, means that it is government­ approved as a fundable project, a feature very attractive to today's hard-pressed school systems. .

Through a variety of activdties the diocesan B~CEP stu­ dents learned how to encourage pupils to develop good self­ concepts, interpersonaa and decision-making skills, economic awareness and positive work attitudes. They were also briefed on wlhere and how to obtain occupationa'! information for budding careeI1ists.

The program was hands-on all the way, with participants making and doing projects they would later offer in' their own classrooms. Durung the week each developed instructional a'ids or activities applicable to his or her teaching d1iscipline or Turn to Page Six

WASHINGTON (NC) -·Presi­ dent Reagan's July 27 certifica­ tion that EI Salvador is making human rights progress was pro­ tested by church groups even be­ fore its release.

The president of the Confer­ ence of Major Superiors of Men said the certification "flies in the face of evidence from the most reputable sources" about the situation in EI Salvador.

And the director of the Office of Social Concerns of the Mary­ knoll Sisters said the Reagan ad­ ministration cannot honestly certify progress in the investiga­ tions of the deaths of four Am­ erican churchwomen because no progress is taking place.

The certification, signed by Secretary of State, .George P. Shultz, is required by law every six montbs for the continuation of U.S. military aid to EI Salva­ dor.

"Every criterion on which the president's certification must be

based shows that in the last six months . . . conditions in EI Salvador have not improved but in many cases worsened," said Franciscan Father Alan McCoy, head of the male Religious super­ iors group. . Father McCoy said EI Salva­ dor's government has not com­ lied with international human rights standards, has not gained control of its armed forces, and has "postponed" its land reform program.

Also questioning the investiga­ tions was Maryknoll Sister Helene O'Sullivan, director of her order's social concerns office.

Two of the four women murder­ ed in December 1980 were mem­ bers of the Maryknoll order.

10'- signing . tpe certification, Shultz wrote in an accompanying letter "We continue to be con­ cerned over the human rights program situation and the course of the reform program in EI Salvador.

"Nevertheless, there have been tangible signs of progress in each of the areas covered under the certification requirement." The certification included a section on investigation into the deaths of the churchwomen and two land-reform advisors as well as the disappearance of an Amer­ ican journalist.

Rhode Island Sen. Claiborne Pell, however, who managed a joint congressional resolution re­ quiring specific certification of­ progres~ in investigation of the deaths and disappearance, said "The question here is really whether a smidgen of improve­ ment from ground zero justifies certification."

His resolution passed the House 399 to 1 and the Senate 95 to 2.

Pell noted that Reagan's certi­ fication was released a day early and opined that it was rushed to Congress in the hope of beating passage of the joint resolution.

Papal trip delayed

By Agostino Bono

NC News Service

Pope John Paul II is a Polish citizen who ,technically can enter his home country by just show­ ing his Polish passport to immi­ gration officials. Yet after months of negoti~tions between the pope, Polish church leaders and the government, no date has been set· for his second visit to his homeland since his election as pontiff. .Postponement of a hoped-for August trip was announced July 21 by the Polish primate, Arch­ bishop Jozef Glemp, and by Po­ and's martial law leader, Gen. Jaruzelski.

The situation reflects the tight intertwining of church and state in the complex political web spun in a country where an offi­ cially atheistic Communist Party rules a population 90 percent Catholic.

Pope John Paul had frequently expressed a desire to visit Po­ land. Aug. 26 for celebrations marking the 600th anniversary of the arrival in Poland of the icon of Our Lady of Czesto­ chowa, Poland's patroness.

Yet such a visit would have come at a politically bad time

for the martial law Polish gov­ ernment which has been facing increasing unrest from members of Solidarity, the suspended in­ dependent labor movement, and pressure from the Soviet Union against a papal visit.

From the church's viewpoint, Vatican and Polish sources said the pope and many Polish bishops were worried that a visit could be interpreted as papal approval of martial law, declared' last Dec. 13 in an effort to suppress Solidarity and other dissident movements.

The problems occasioned a series of church-state meetings, ending this month, when Arch­ bishop G1emp spent almost three weeks in Italy conferring with the pope.

The archbishop indicated that the papal visit would take place sometime before the end of the Czestochowa jubilee year in September 1983.

Peter's Pence The traditional Peter's Pence collection in aid of the charities of the Holy Father will be taken up this weekend In all ehurches of the diocese.

In Warsaw, Jaruzelski said the pope would be welcome but not in August. He said the nation should prepare for a papal visit next year. .Jaruzelski also announced a series of minor relaxations in martial law, mostly affecting travel and communications to foreign countries, and said he would abolish martial law by the end of the year if tensions de­ crease. His words were accom­ panied by a government an­ nouncement that 1,227 detainees were being released.

Many Poles criticized the gov­ ernment measures as too little and also opposed the decision to postpone the papan visit.

The postponement indicates that, although church-state dia­ logue continues in Poland, key issues, especially the future of Solidarity, remain unresolved.

Jaruzelski, on July 21 said that the government would respect the principle of union self-rule but that it would not allow the restoration of Solidarity in th" independent form it· had prior to martial law.

From th~ government's view­ point a papal visit at the end of August could quickly have be·· Turn to Page Six

THE ANCHOR-Dioce,se of Fall River-Fri., July 30, 1982

themoorin~ 'Life Is Worth Serving , Response to our public service campaign to restore, maintain and expand the effectiveness of the Coast Guard in our area is heartening. In this week's Mail Packet, for example, we are carrying a letter of support from the junior senator of the commonwealth. , In part because The Anchor and other local media voiced determined opposition to cutbacks in Coast Guard services and operations, funds have not only been restored to the current budge~ but plans have been put forward for expansion of' services. ' Proof of the positive effect of public concern may be seen in the case of the Coast Guard cutter Bibb, out of New Bedford, which was scheduled for decommissioning and consignment to the scrap heap. ,Because of at:Qused public opinion, the Bibb was reprieved. Subsequently the cutter has recorded some magnificent accomplishments.

On July 17 it seized a Danish freighter with 60 tons of marijuana aboard. Authorities estimated that at the going rate of $1 million per ton, the ha~l was the largest to date, in New England history. This feat by ,the crew of a vessel that would not have bam in the water had public, concern not been voiced, was but one of three outstanding accom­ plishments during a patrol that embarked from the Whaling City on May 18. " Last month the Bibb seized a Mexican freighter with 51 tons of marijuana aboard. Another ship was approached but hastily jettisoned its illegal cargo. .

Perhaps the highlight of the patrol was the Bibb's rescue of the skipper of a disabled sailboat, a Gloucester man who had been adrift nearly a week "in the middle of nowhere," said the Bibb's captain, Cmdr. Grant' W. Risinger.

In this case, had the Bibb not been on patrol, the sea would have claimed another victim. A human life cannot be measured in terms of a budget ,analysis. And who cail know how many young people may have been rescued' from drug addiction because of the Bibb's interception of over 100 tons of marijuana. This victory in the '''pot war"

was surely significant in the saga of "search and seizure."

Such work must continue. , Some have voiced doubts about the propriety of this newspaper's involvement in issues o( public affairs. The results produced by just this one patrol of the Bibb should be sufficient response to those who would attempt, to have a Catholic newspaper confine itself simply to "church" matters.

The current concern of this paper for the Coast Guard is not a mere grandstand play. It flows from sincere concern not' only for continuance of the work an~ service of the Coast Guard but also' for the well-being and safety of the general public. .

When the common good is unjustly threatened, there is no choice but to speak out on the issues involved. True, it is impossible to tackle each and every problem in depth; but when life is at risk priorities are obvious.

As the residents of Southeastern Massachusetts enjoy the summer blessings of sun and sea, this newspaper will continue to voice its concern in matters affecting this area.

We believe that we must support every human life, that of a single ma~ rescued at sea as much as those of youngsters saved from enslavement to drugs. Our current' effort in behalf of the United States Coast Guard is but part of our total concern.· ,

The study of scripture

By Father Kevin J. Harrington.

The study of scripture by the Catholic laity 'in the past 20 years is one of the most encour· aging signs of our time. The great saints and mystics. were nourished in their faith by pray­ erful reflection upon sacred scripture. To prevent its study from being merely an intellect­ ual exercise, we should mull over certain passages and meditate' at length upon images that en­ kindle our hearts. to a loving re­ sponse to God's call.

It is helpful to, examine how Jesus incorporated Old Testa­ ment teachings into his unique message, blending their essence into a new synthesis. Scripture scholars have indeed identified certain passages of the Old Tes­ tament as significant to Jesus' self-understanding.

Who can forget the haunting image of a, .Jesus who claimed to have come not to bring peace but a sword that would divide family members? (cf. Matt. 10: 34-37) This passage recalls the Levitical sword used to slay worshippers of false gods. Moses' commended the Levites for their loyalty to God's commandments over their loyalty to family . members. (cf. Deut.. 33:9) Jesus expresses this same zeal at age 12, when he tells his mother that he must be about his Father's business and it is also evident during this public

. '

life when he chases the money­ changers from the Temple area.

Another example of how Jesus used the scriptures of his day ,came in a synagogue at ~aza­ reth when he read a passage familiar to the Jewish people: "The spirit ,of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me; he has sent me to announce good news to the poor, to proclaim re­ lease for prisoners and recov­ ery of sight for the blind; to let the broken victims go free, to proclaim the year of 'the Lord's favor." (Luke 4: 18-19) Wi~ the words "Today this text which you have just heard has come true" (Luke. 4:21); Jesus transformed the Mosaic tradition of declaring every seventh year a period of release from'debts (cf. Deut. 15:1 ff.).

With a good deal of poetic license, we can picture Jesus' mulling over this passage, of scripture. He must have imago ined the joy of slaves and the very poor when the year of reo lease was announced. He liken­ ed, his 'role to that of the mess· engers who went the length and breadth of the land proclaiming that the year of the Lord had commenced.

Jesus' joy was to fulfill the Father's will of proclaiming the Kingdom of God as a forgiveness of sins. His joy was letting every human being know that he or she was a child of God. There should be little wonder

that Jesus spent so much of his time among the "small people" of his day. There should be little surprise tha~ it was they who opened their hearts to his libera­ ting message.

As Jesus came to his self­ understanding through insight­ fully reflecting upon the sacred scriptures, so should we. This means taking time every day to read and prayerfully dwell upon the scriptures. Like the dis­ ciples on the road to Emmaus, our hearts should be burning when Jesus explains their mean­ ing.

We should never fail to find time to be alone with God. Everyone can do this if he or she really wants to do so.

But one cannot develop an interest in sacred scripture with­ out having been instilled with proper reverence for the Word of God. There are still many Cath­ olics, who show their reverence ' for the Bible by displaying a volume that is a family heir­ loom. How wonderful to add to this custom by providing a per­ sonal Bible for every family member. _ _IIIII••"I.. IIIIII1I1"IIIII""' .... •.. IU.......IIIIII •• "I1I1II11..

Then one day I drove and life on our trips changed irrevocably forevermore. I discovered the joy of saying, "Will you please keep the kids quiet?" and "I think Jeremy needs changing."

It was a glorious discovery. To me. To Jim it was akin to the time the kids first tasted white meat. No matter how much we continued to extol the virtues of thighs and backs, they had tasted and seen.

Pope John Paul has been a strong supporter of Solidarity's leadership and of the principle of independent labor unions.

The postponement, also indi­ cated the pressure placed on Po­ land by the Soviet Union. As the July ,talks about the visit con­ tinued, articles in the Soviet government - and Communist Party press spoke strongly against the visit. Soviet articles suggested that the pope's 1979 visit had produced the subse­ quent social unrest and that the Polish church was responsible for much of the anti-government activity protesting against mar­ tial law.

Watergate Dear Editor: During June, the news media practicll'lIy turned the 10th anni­ versary of Watergate dnto a cele­ bration! Should we be proud o'f Nixon's actions and words re­ garding Watergate? Many stories ,told us how rich and famous Nixon ds. I was taught - and most of us were taught - that cl'lime doesn't pay! Our young people ,this June 'learned Ithat maybe dt does.

Nixon has never once said he was guilty nor that he was sorry.

Jesus Christ taught we should repent of our sins and have sor­ ,row for them. As men 'in prison hear about Nixon and then -listen Ito me urging .them to say they are sorry, they become angry and scoff. What are we teaching our adults, our teenagers, those who sin, commit crimes, and are dn pl"ison? .

It as 'interesting and sad to reaHze that crime began to rise again in the early 1970's and by 1975 was becoming one of our biggest national problems. To­ day, as we "celebrate the anni­ versary of a breaking and enter­

ing," cr.ime in the United States is our biggest nat'iona~ problem.

I am disgusted at our making Nixon a front page hero and TV star. It would have been a healthier June for our country had condemnation and just wrath come forth from our news media, attacking Iy.ing, stea'1ing, dishonesty, abuse of power and letting Cl'iminals go free.

Coast Guard

Guard's ability to fulfill its s,ta­ tutory duties, and endangers the crews of these ships. The Cuya­ hoga, which sank in 1978 at the cost of 11 live's, was 52 years old. In fact, the ships are in such poor condition that the average vessel must spend two days in port for maintenance for each' day at sea.

To make matters worse, over the past 10 years the Congress has assigned additional duties to the Coast Guard. These new du­ ties include: fisheries enforce­ ment, protection from'drug smug­ glers, ice breaking, commercial vessel safety, pollution certifica­ tion. and control, environmental protection, illegal immigration patrol, and rescue duties to match our growing recreational and fishing fleets.

Unfortunately, the Congress has failed to appropriate suffi­ cient funds to allow the Coast Guard to fulfill these duties.

Fisheries enforcement on the East Coast has been cut by 90 percent. Last year alone, there was a $46 million deficit in the Coast Guard's operating budget.

The Reagan Administration has compounded the Coast Guard's difficulties by proposing a. de­ crease in its funding for fiscal

year 1983 and a reduction in

personnel by 7,000.

But the future of the Coast Guard looks brighter in the Con­ gress. A recent bill (S. 2022) in­ troduced by Senator Hollings 01 South Carolina, which I cospon­ sored, provides emergency sup­ plemental funds of $48 million for the remainder of this fiscal '

year and is expected to pass. On a more long-term basis, Congress­ man Studds of Massachusetts has introduced an amendment that would increase appropria­ tions for the 1983 fiscal year by $7 million, and would maintain current personnel levels.

Please be assured that I will do my utmost to improve the state of the Coast Guard. Am­ erica's coastal defenses depend on the Coast Guard and must not be neglected.

Renting means exactly what. it says. An elderly person with a large house converts his or her home into two or more living units and rents them out to other elderly persons.

We have already had many letters from' seniors asking to be put in touch with other sen­ iors who want to rent or share.

What is needed is a local clear­ inghouse to put people who need a home in touch with those who have one.

Find an agency in your area that would agree to aid home­ minded seniors in discovering one another. Possibilities include your council on aging, senior citizens' group or parish.

The central agency would not need to' assume any liability. It might simply publish a list periodically of names and ad­ dresses of seniors who had a home and those who needed one.

The seniors would have the re­ sponsibility of contacting .one another and exploring coopera­ tive living arrang~ments.

"There is a strong sentimental and emotional element," he con­ tinued. "In the very first years of school the children learn that the Malvinas-Falklands. belong to Argentina."

Archbishop Laghi said he was sure the Argentinia';-s thought negotiations would resolve the dispute before it led to war.

The apostolic delegate called the 10-day m~eting of the U.S. bishops in June in Collegeville, Minn., which he attended, "positive."

"Your bishops have great unity," he. said. "Even though they might personally express different points of view on some topics, they have unity and a special communion with each other.

"They are committ~d to es­ tablishing the church as a Chris­ tian community. Through their commitment to Vatican II, they established an ecclesial commun­ ity that is marked with a special 'harmony.' They can and do speak with one voice."

Archbishop Laghi was in De­ troit for a convention of Serra International, an organization of laymen dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. He acknowledged a decrease in vocations in the United States, "not in quality, just in quantity.

"But the church does not look back. It looks ·to the future. A vocation is like a: seed. It must be sowed abundantly.

"Maybe something is lacking here in our call to others. May­ be our call is not strong enough.

Maybe there is not enough good example to inspire our youth.

With 27,000 Subscribers, It Pays To Adyerf;se In The Anchor

By Father John Dietzen

Q. A college friend says hu­ manism Is the most beautiful answer to all human relations.

Someone else said, however, that It Is pure existentialism, and that both are un-ChrIstlan and un-Cathollc.

ThIS came up In our study club, and we had quite an argu­ ment about the meaning of ex­ istentialism and humanism. Is thera a Catholic position on hu­ manism? And really what does It mean? (Ket:rtucky)

A. An adequate answer to your question would require at least a book. Both existentialism and humanisin have a rainbow of meanings, some of which are compatible with Chri,stian beliefs and some are not. Fundament­ ally, however, existentialism may be described as a form of hu­ manism, so let's limit ourselves to that second word and its meaning.

Humanism is basically the be­ lief or philosophy that the great­ est good of man is the perfec­ tion of himself as a human being.

All good, all morality, according ',to this idea, Is simply what will make a man or woman' more perfectly human, more able to be whole in this knowing and loving and feeling. ' Put that way, there is nothing un-Christian about humanism; it is solid Catholic doctrine. As Pope Paul said in his encyclical, "The Development of Peoples," in all the church's labors for truth and justice "what must be aimed at is complete huinanism the integral development

of the whole man and of all men:' .

As 5t. Augustine, I believe, was the first to say, "The glory of God ds man fuIly alive:'

EARLY BIRDS

This ffs echoed in the Vatican Council II decree, "The Church in the Modem WOI1ld," in which hope is seen for mankind !be­ cause we are Witnesses of the birth of a new humanism, one in which man is defined first of aU by ms responsibi1ity toward his brothers and toward history."

(No. 55) .

This kind of humanism, there­ fore, is not only penmssible; lit is essential if mankind :is to de­ velop on this earth dn a healthy manner.

Some brands of humamsm, of course, in the past as well as today, view the works and goals. of mankind in totlrt disregard of any relationsmp to his creator, to his savior, or to a ~:ife beyond this world. This view of man obviously ds opposed to Christian beliefs, and often has been ex­ plicitly condemned by Cathalic and other Christian author1ities.

sacrament of reconciliation'

By Katherine Bb'd.

One Sunday my pastor told the story of a distraught woman whose husband had committed suicide.

Over the course of several hours, the pastor related, the woman's central concern sur­ faced: she ,feared that she was responsible for her husband's drastic deCision. Ove'rcome by guilt, she had 'examined and re­ examined their life together to see where she was to blame. Fin­ ally she - had called. the parish hoping to tell her fears to a sympathetic person.

With the pastor;s aid, the death beCame the occasion for the woman to review her life with her husband and eventualry gain some perspective on his . tragic death. Though not all her anguish was removed during a single session, she nonetheless was helped.

POPE JOHN I?AUL II, immediately after being shot in .1981. Within hours he publicly forgave his attacker, lII11tatmg Jesus, who linked effective prayer with forgive­ ness. (Arturo Mari Photo) . . ~~y,

Let me tell you about a serio ously ill young man whose con­ dition was steadly, worsening.

Due to the dulling effect of heavy medication he was not fully aware of' the seriousness of his condition.

Apparently, he figured out later, his physician fiitallysent him home because hope had been ,given 1,1p for his recQvery. , But as it happened, the young man found another; - physician who performed radical surgery which saved his life.

I tell this story - not because

Eugenia' Ginzburg'/l autobiog­ raphy, "Within' the Whirlwind" tells of a woman's survival in the Stalinist prison camps. It records cruelty and unimagin­ able tenderness, and it vividly illuminates the essence of human life.

In one section the author asks: Is the need for repentance and confession an integral part of the human soul? ' That was a question that she, a, Jewish communist intellectual

. often discusseeJ with the Germa~

Catholic camp doctor whom she

later married.

The question was answered for her in an encounter with a pris­ oner whose life she saved. The man was grateful beyond words for her saving intervention. Then she· learned that he had been a member of the dreaded Nazi Secret Service. .

One day, when he offered her some small gifts as further signs of his gratitude, she found her­ &elf saying terrible things to him.

Then she told him she was Jew. He tu~ed ashen white, and Ms. Ginzburg thought he must be afraid she would denounce him as a Nazi and worsen his plight in the Russi'an caml?

a

Then she'realized it was 'not fear but copscience tormenting him. We knelt before her, repeat­ ing: "I'm a Christian . . . it wasn't as if, I wanted to."

At that moment, Ms. Ginzburg writes, she· experienced him as a fellow. human being and felt that the need to say "mea culpa" (through my fault) knocks at the door of. everyone's heart some­ time. .

Jesus placed forgiveness at the center of Christian love. "How . many times must we forgive wrongs?" he was asked. "Seventy times seven;" he replied ;..- mean­ ing there are no limits.

Jesus lin~ed prayer with for­ giveness: Before you pray, for­ give those who are against you.

An unforgiving attitude blocks prayer. Words of. forgiveness' were among the final words Jesus spoke on earth - "Father forgive them." , The Christian traditio~ recog­ nizes our need to confess' and repent through the sacrament of' , reconciliation. Yet, according to statistics, fewer and fewer Cath· olics participate iIi the sacrament.

Why is this so, if confession is such a central human experi· ence?

it has a happy ending but rather .because illness became the occa­ sion for a spiritual journey of belief for the young man.'

A graduate student, -he was a Catholic. He had learned about heaven and hell as a child. Now as ,a young adult, he considered himself a sinner - guilty of youthful failings.

As he lay in his hospital bed, , faced with 'nearly hopeless ill­ ness arid serious surgery, he·was ' close to despair. He felt he prob­ ably ought to go to confession.

But because he had drifted away from the church he mis-

takenly thought that he could not receive the sacrament valid­ ·Iy. He wanted to talk to a par­ ticular priest, a friend who might understand his present state.

But that priest was 250 miles away. The young man found him" self unable to ask a stranger to administer the sacrament to him.

So he underwent surgery with­ out the assurance of being in a friendly relationship with the God of his childhood faith. ' Later, however, the young man had several serious 'conversations with his priest-friend.

In this case, MarJt tells about the family of Jesus, coming to the house where Jesus is preach­ ing. Their attitude toward him is made brutally clear: "He is out of .his mind."

At that point, some scribes ar­ rive from Jerusalem charging: "He is possessed by Beelzebub," and, "He expels demons with the help of the prince of demons."

After Jesus answers their charges, Mark picks up the first story at the point of the family's actual arrival at the house.

In using this arrangement Mark ,gives dramatic expression to the tragic truth that the attitude of Jesus' closet relatives was pretty

much the same at that of his enemies. Jesus came "unto his own - and his own did not ac­ cept him" (John 1:11).

His family may have been em­ barrassed by the hostile atten­ tion he was getting from the leaders, and came to "take charge of him." ' The family's conviction that he was mad was similar to the as­ sessment of some enemies that he was possessed. In that time, insanity was akin to diabolical possession in the popular mind.

Jesus' answer was masterful.

He was obviously defeating the powers of evil at every turn. It Turn to page thirteen

know your faith

, Rejected Continued from page twelve would be ridiculous to say that he did this by the power of Beelzebub - a contemptuous name for Satan. This would mean Satan was fighting himself.

The second example Jesus uses is that of a strong man whose house cannot be entered and plundered unless he himself is first rendered powerless. Jesus means that in his victories over demons he has openly plundered .

Satan's realm.

Implicit in this argument is the assumption that Jesus is acting by supernatural power. His en­ emies admit that when they ac­ cuse him of acting with the power of Satan.

If Jesus is not acting by Sa­ tan's power, then he must act by an even greater power - that of the Holy Spirit - which his enemies do not recognize.

The conflict here is profound and goes to the heart of the mat­ ter, the rejection of Jesus as an agent of God. This is the blas­ phemy against the Holy Spirit of which Jesus accuses them, as Mark explains.

When Jesus' family finally ar­ rives at the house, he is informed that they are outside looking for him. For Mark, those who are "outside" are those who reject Jesus.

The real point of the 'story is - Jesus' answer to the question, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" He gazes pointedly at those seated around him and says: "These are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of God is brother and sister and mother to me."

Not even the closest personal bonds automatically suffice to qualify one for membership in Jesus' true family. One must ac­ tively share his central concern: doing the will of his Father.

Prayer and forgiveness

Continued from page twelve First, I think we must take in­ to account the effects of our technological environment. In a world with little silence and little solitude, it is easy to be­ come unaware of the extent of our own freedom and responsi­ bility. We become unconscious about what we do and why we do it.

Furthermore, in a productio~­ oriented culture, we can fall into an active way of life, losing touch with our inner world and our motivations. The crucial events of our lives - the sin and the grace - can go unnamed.

Some thoughtful modem Chris­ tians are, it is true, seeking to understand their behavior and strengthen their life commit­ ments. But some are seeking in­ sights, not through the sacra­ ment of reconciliation, but through pychoanalysis,' counsel­ ing and various kinds of group thera~y.

This suggests to me that there is need to examine the values inherent in the sacrament of reconciliation. Perhaps we need to recall that preparation

Journey Continued from page twelve Previously he had thought of the sacrament of penance as a kind of protection. from God, a kind of insurance policy, guar­ anteeing eternal life.

Now, talking with his friend, the young man learned he had to take responsibility for his own actions. He came to see the sac­ rament of reconciliation as a guide for plotting his course through life, he learned, finally, that talking over his doubts and failings and sins with a com­ passionate spiritual guide could be a valuable way of checking his progress as a Christian.

Finally he came to see Goa more as a father and less as a judge. And he made what he felt was his first real act of faith in God.

for the sacrament offers an op­ portunity to sort through the rubble and riches of our inner world. ,I feel certain that men and wmen are w'j))ing to rediscover the sacrament of reconciliation.

People are hungry' for truth, for mercy, for intimate sharing of the joys and pitfalls of Christian journeying.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer the famed Christian writer who died at the hands of the Nazis during World War II - once observed that this sacrament has value for the community as well as for the individual.

In "Life Together," Bonhoeffer pointed out that when another human being knows us in all our pettiness, weakness and small­ mindedness, we are less likely to consider ourselves superior to others.

And when we ourselves have experienced forgiveness, we are more disposed to extend that forgiveness to others.

One who lingered wi~, pain always, Robert Louis Stevenson, said: "Play with your toys when ' you have them' and grow' up when you are a man, to be a man, to suffer, and to work, and at the end be content with the reward and go back to your Maker in peace."

I suggested to my young ac­ ·quaintance that the greatest art is living and that she might find living more interesting if she' tackled it with that thought.

That she was an artist and so much of the painting lay in her own hands. That we can't keep blaming others for the mess we make of things. ' She kept saying, "The world is ~ mess." And I kept saying, "But it's people who make a mess of the world and it's up to people to correct the mess. If young people are going to feel as you do, then who will correct this ~ess you speak of?"

That brought a needed posi­ tive response. "You make me feel as if I was important,'" she said. "Use the word "am," I said.

When Frances Willard, that great woman campaigner, was 87, someone asked her whatshe would do if she could live life over and she said she would praise more' and blame less: Charles Darwin said after he

hit his peak," I have so focused on my science and 'my work that I have shriveled up my inner soul and personality of being. I am a working machine."

I read something in The An­ chor that bears repeating here: "A man too busy to pray is bus­ ier than God wants him to be." . I was told a heart-warming s'tory that took' place a couple of Christmases ago: A woman came into a store to gather her laya­ way gifts for her children. As she counted her money, she found there wasn't enough and she began to think aloud: "I have to have the bail for Bill and the dress for 'Lori, the game for Rusty. I have to have them ail."

She began .counting her money again. A long-haired high school 'boy who was carrying parcels for someone overheard what was going on, elbowed the clerk to one side as if in the line of duty . and whispered to him, "Give her everything in the basket and I will take care of the rest."

This is true love for one's fel­ low human being. Love being shown a stranger. A little thing, with no fanfare, to people who are' nameless to the giver. We meet more nameless people than the people we know. There are countless opportunities present­ ing themselves to us to do good and do it quietly.

"Everybody knows smok­ ing is bad for your health, but teenagers really aren't interest­ ed in whether they'll die from ,lung cancer when they're 45,", Martin says,: - The e,njoyment aspect of smoking, often cited by social smokers, diminishes once a teen­ ager becomes a regular or habi­ tual smoker.

- Teenagers have noticed "anti-smokers" among their peers. Distinct from teenagers who are simply non-smokers, they' refuses to associate with smokers.

Funded by the National Insti­ tute of Child Health and Human Development, Martin's research, is a pilot project which he hopes will lead to further research into how smoking affects adolescents' identity.

"An issue that has been left unresolved in my research is whether these intermediate stages are a 'pipeline' that kids are moving through on their way to becoming regular srpoKers or if some kids become social smokers and that's all they ever will be," Martin says.
