Alaywoman was first

NCCW meets on Cape

By Pat McGowan "It was a laywoman who was first consulted by God the Father in implementing his plan of salvation." The reminder came from Mary Meismer, the soft·spoken presi dent of the largest federation of women's organizations in the world. With some 300 top leaders of the 10 million-member National Council of Catholic Women, she was in Hyannis this week for the organization's biennial as· sembly, held on alternate years from its full·f1edged convention, open to all members. Opening Monday, the meeting adjourned yesterday. At a press conference Mrs. Meismer said that NOCW's basic goals, unchanged in its 61 years of existence, are to inform and educate women and develop the potential of each member. Political activism, currently evidenced by NCCW support of the nuclear freeze movement and a human life amendment to the Constitution, is also an "ongoing thrust," she observed. 'Mrs. Meismer noted that as she travels to NCCW functions throughout the nation she is ob· serving a general spiritual reo

Marian tribute Mo·nday Diocesan preparations are complete for the by now tradi tional Columbus Day Marian procession and outdoor Mass. Marche~s will gather at 5:30 p.m. Monday' at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, to prepare for the one-mile walk to Kennedy Park in the city's south end. They will carry candles, recite the rosary and sing Marian hymns as they walk. Leading the procession will be a state of Our Lady of Fatima, carried by vol unteers from participating par ishes. At the park Bishop Daniel A. Cronin will be principal concele brant of the Eucharistic liturgy, which will be concluded by the European gesture of waving white handkerchiefs at the de parting Marian statue. Begun in 1975 as a prayer for peace in all nations and as a

particular response to the then troubled political situation in Portugal, the Mass' has become a diocesan expression of solid arity. During the procession preced ing the liturgy, the rosary and Marian hymns are heard in lang. uages reflecting the ethnic mix of the diocese, including Portu-

WARSAW, Poland (NC) Archbishop Jozef Glemp, Po 'land's Catholic primate, has can celled his trips to Rome, the United States and Canada. Churoh sources said the de cision is tied to th_e archbishop's fear that Poland's martial law government" would pass a law during his absence formally· out lawing the independent trade union, Solidarity. "Archbishop Glemp said he can celed' the trips because of "the general situation" ,in Poland. The Polish Parliament is de btlting a bilI \which would out law" Solidarity and the govern ment-backed meas:ure is expected to be passed before the end of October. Archbishop Glemp has warned that dissolving Solidarity would increase Poland's domes tic turmoil. .The primate, who heads the archdioceses' of Gniezno and Warsaw, was sc~eduled to leave for "Rome yesterday to partici pate in a meeting of -European Catholic bishops and to attend the Oct. 10 canonization at the Vatican of Polish Father Maxi milian Kolbe.

Church Dialog

Opposes nuclear arms BELLEVILLE, III. (NC) BishOp Leroy T. Matthiesen of Amarillo, Texas, has called on the church to oppose the con struction of nuclear weapons. "It's time the church stopped . giving its moral support to the building, stockpiling and threat ened use of nuclear weapons," Bishop Matthiesen said at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville. "Nuclear weapons, ,by their very nature, kill without dis crimination, and therefore can never be used by a godly nation," the bishop said. He addressed about 1,000 per sons who gathered at the shrine to welcome 18 members of a group that set out April 10 from Bangor, Wash., on a peace pil grimage to Bethlehem, the birth place of Jesus Christ. The crowd . included 350 persons who had walked eight miles with the peace pilgrims from the Gate way Arch in St.' Louis to the shrine. Bishop Matthiesen, who has attracted national attention for his opposition to the Pantex nuclear weapons assembly plant near Amarillo, said, "War is ). u.sually the tes'ult of mistrust be tween.: nations. How can we possibly build bridges of trust between: nations while we hold each other's populations hostage to a nuclear holocaust? "People working in defense industries that build weapons of indiscriminate destruction must consider that they are ultimately responsible for their actions to God," Bishop Matthiesen said. "They need to ask themeselves, "Is what I am doing morally right? Is it life-affirming?' And then they need to act on their conscience." The bishop continued: "We need to re-examine our lifestyle In this country. America, with six percent of the world's popu lation, uses over 40 percent of the world's resources. Such ram pant consumerism is bound to create resentment. A shift to a more simple lifestyle would do much to reduce world tensions." Anotlter speaker, comedian and social activist Dick Gregory pledged to eat no solid food from that day until the peace pilgrim age reached it final destination in Bethlehem. He said also he would be there to greet them.

'Pagan babies' defend~d ,

BOSTON (NC) - The national director of the Holy Childhood Association, the official child ren's mission aid society of the church, has defended its "pagan baby" program of years gone by, which has been ridiculed in a recent TV production.. a Broad way play and a new book. Holy Ghost Father Francis W. Wright, the association's nation al director, said that, through the "pagan baby" program" children throughout the world enabled millions of other children to sur vive and developed a sense of mutual respect, understanding and global awareness. Disparaging references to the program have been made, Father Wright said, in the TV ser.ies, ."Brideshead Revisited," Broad way's "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?" and the book, .ipagan Babies and Other Catholic Memories."

Established in 1843, the Holy Childhood Association originally raised funds to ransom children in mission lands from slavery or to pay their parents to keep them. Through this missionary work, later known as the "pagan baby" program, an estimated 30 million Chinese children were saved from an early death, Father Wright said. The program ~as been gradually phased out in the last 20 years after serving its purpose.

LONDON (NC) - The first conference bringing together representatives of all the major churches in both Britain and Ire land took place in Liverpool, England, last month. Its aim was to consider "present and future options in British-Irish relations in the light of the Gospel." Its purpose was to inform those taking part and establish stronger links between the differ ent churches and church bodies. It did not draw up any declara tions or pass any resolutions. It was organized by the Brit-· ish Council of Churches, the Irish Council of Churches, and the Catholic justice and peace commissions of the English and Welsh, Scottish and Irish hier archies.. The 45 participants also included four European represen tatives and two from the United States. Co-chairmen were the Rev. Philip Morgan, general secre tary of the Bristish Cpuncil of Churches, and Auxiliary Bishop Donal Murray of Dublin, Ireland, who was a member of the Irish (Catholic) Justice and Peace Commission until he was named a bishop earlier this year. Comments by participants in dicated that they considered the' conference successful. "It was definitely a useful ex ercise," said Jerome Connolly, secretary of the Irish Justice and Peace Commission. "I think it will give a further boost to what we have been trying to do on both sides of the Irish Sea for the past few yearso" Connolly was referring to the loose links which his commission has· built up with its English and Welsh counterPart in the Cath olic Church imd with the Irish Council of Churches, an agency ~

of the major non-Catholic churches in Ireland. The Irish non-Catholic tChurches are also members of tlhe British Council of Churches,on which the Cath olic bishops' conferences of Scot· land and of England and Wales, but not of Ireland, are present as observers. According to participants peo ple spoke frankly right from the start and explored the full range of problems and tensions divid ing their different churches and communities, as well as the diffi culties they are facing in com mon, such as deepening economic recession and growing unemploy ment.

Honoring St. Francis

Hats off to, of all people, the Postal Servi,ce. Of recent date most' energies have been directed against hikes in mailing rates. The battle for the cause of nonprofit mailers will indeed continue until such time as a fair and honest resolution is concluded. However, just because such dif ficulties remain to be ironed out, agreement in other areas is not necessarily precluded. This week the Postal Service, thus the United States government, issued a 20 cent commemorative sta~p mark ing the BOOth anniversary of the birth of St. Francis of Assisi. on: the surface this action by the Postal Service would seem to be but another stamp for another occasion, as well as good business. But in this situation, such was not the case. The usual basically anti-Catholic uproar was staged by that depend

able voice of bias, Americaqs Uniteq for' Separation of

Church and State. In typical vindictive tones, the director

of this media-conscious group stated that if St. Francis

were to be honored, demands would flood the Post~l Serv

ice for similar tributes to religious figures of all denomina

tions; Issuance of the St.. Francis stamp, he claimed, begins'

. a trend in the wrong directiolJ. and certainly violates the

spirit if not the letter of'the First Amendment. Well, this poor soul really did not do his homework. No .voice of objection was raised when tl1e same Postal Service honored Rev. Martin Luther King in 1979. Going back a few decades, guardians of the Constitution said little when stamps commemorated the ,Pilgrims, a highly partisan religious group. Nor was· much comment offered earlier this' year when a stamp honored Newport's Touro Synagogue. . The Postal Service has tried to play down some of the controversy by omitting the prefix "Saint" from the stamp; but it should be noted that the petition for its issuance did not come solely from Catholic circl~s. Such Protestant groups as the United Church of Christ, the United Presbyterian Church and the American Lutheran Church gave support to the request on human itarian grounds. In fact, this particular sta~p has evoked a more extensive expression of support than any other issue of recent times. And why wouldn't it? The ideals of Francis of Assisi appeal to people far be yond the limits of sectarian structures. For centuries Francis has been held in esteem by myriads of people, ranging fro~_birdwatchers to peacen~ks. His life,'work and words are also held in high esteem by millions of nonChristians. ' Francis preached love for our fragile creation. He regarded everything as the work of God and Galled the birds and beasts, the sun, water and fire his brothers and sisters. Because of his respect for' nature, he has become a very special person for our times. In a world seemingly' dedicated to contamination, pollution and even self-de struction, Francis is an inspiration for those who ~eek .to save us from ourselves. To those forces in our social order that represent corporate greed and conglomerate avarice, Francis is a constant reminder of what really.-profits a man. Our Postal Service, so often criticized, should in this instance be congratulated. By issuing this commemorative it-has reminded all of us of what life could be if we tried to follow in the footsteps of Francis.

Barbie's grown up

In the event you missed The Event, last year the Barbie doll turned 25. I agree with the columnist who, in noting the anniversary, suggested that Barbie should yearly become a bit heavier and a little more wrinkled.

lowing the Barbie success was a mannequin head on which little girls experimented with makeup and hair styles. I'm gratified It didn't succeed. Again, maybe the girls were' wiser than parents on this one, telling them that they wanted a childhood, not an ad olescence at seven.

Because my daughter will turn 21 this year, she has never lived without Barbie around. I wish I could say the same but, in the spirit of young motherhood 20 years ago, I cooperated in play ing the commercial game of Bar bie, even going so far as making the tiny outfits for Barbie's dat ing life. ,.

At that, the hall gave him a standing ovation. The president, it seems, is held by voters to ·be virtually blameless in the failing economy. A new Los Angeles Times poll, for instance, shows him a poor ninth among suspects, trailing OPEC, Japan, Congress, business, unions, the Federal Re serve, the Democratic Party and Jimmy Carter as the culprit for deficits and unemployment. Do the voters hold Reagan ac countable for the arms buildup? The election will not turn on war and peace - the economy is paramount. But the idea that Catholics, who in the past could be counted on to support the "just war" concept and whose leaders gave, absolution to the Vietnam War, could express skepticism about his genuineness as a peacemaker is painful and smacks of betrayal - to White House politicos. The nuclear debate has gotten out of ha~d. What used to be left to the experts, to the con noisseurs of' throw-weight, to the body counters - "only" 20 million casualties - has seeped into the streets. It is especially galling to the military hierarchy that the discussion is being taken over by members of the Catholic hierarchy. The arch bishop is one of 135 prelates who have endorsed the freeze. Hickey's carefully organized campaign to focus the thoughts of his flock on the nuclear ques tion distresses the administra tion. Hickey is not so radical as some of his brothers - Mat thiesen of Texas, Hunthausen of Washington state - who advo cate a mucin more frontal attack on the defense budget. But his stated determination "not to permit the moral and human dimensions of the nuclear policy to be neglected or ig nored in the deliberations of ex perts and politicians" is another reminder that the administra tion's campaign to make Ameri cans more afraid of the Soviets than of nuclear weapons has not been a total S\lccess, even in an institution with impeccable a~ti communist credentials. The archbishop has told the priests of the Washington dio cese to preach about the ques tion. It's a little warning that supporting constitutional amend ments for school prayer and against abortion, not to mention tuition tax credits, may not be everything to Catholic voters. The Republican National Com mittee thinks that the nuclear freeze will not be a major issue in the fall campaign, except in a few districts. But the church, committee members sadly con cede, has given the peace move· ment a respectability that peo ple only prayed for before.

Pilgrim Virgin Dear Editor: It was with joy we read the Sept. 17 Anchor the letter from Mrs. Eduardo Oliveira about the power of the Eucharist and the rosary to overcome the ills of today. On the same page was the arti· cle about the Men of the Sacred Hearts in greater Fall River. We are an offshoot of that wonder ful apostolate as, through the loan of their Pilgrim Virgin, we were able to start the Cape Cod Pilgrim Virgin 10 years ago. This came about when we at tended a prayer meeting at Sa cred Hearts Academy, Fairhaven, and wished to have the Pilgrim Virgin in that area come to our home. We were told we lived too far away, but it was suggest· ed that we ask Brother Keane of Sacred Hearts Novitiate, Ware· ham, what could be done.' He and another brother agreed. to bring the statue to our home for the feast of the Queenship of Mary, and from our parish, St. Pius X, South Yarmouth, the Pilgrim Virgin began her journey to Cape Cod homes and parishes. Last Aug. 22, the Virgin cele brated her 10th anniversary on the Cape by returning to our home, where the Men of the Sa cred Hearts met to honor her. There are about 20 loyal men who take turns transporting her; and many homes have also had the Sacred Heart Enthronement ceremony. Joe and Mary Evers South Yarmouth

Cloud Nine Dear Editor: There is plenty of room on Cloud Nine. That is where the charismatic convention held in Providence in August was taking place. The speakers revealed to us the Spirit of God and the spirit of evil and how they work in us. Imagine being friends of Jesus! How much more intimate can we be? Pray before reading or doing any thing and the Spirit of God will help you understand what the Spirit wants you to know. The praising and worshiping God in song was thrilling. From the depths of my soul these praises came forth in song and I didn't know or care how they sounded. I opened my mouth and out flowed the praises with love. "Do Whatever He Tells You" was the theme of the convention'. It was a doubleheader, our Mother Mary's Assumption into heaven and her words about her Son: "Do whatever He tells you," when wine was low at the wed ding. "Fill the six large jars with water," Jesus said. He turned them into perfect wine. The grand finale, the liturgy of the Mass: the People of God around the altar and from the floor to the rafters and wall to wall; all clapping their hands for

buil~ing

Following a yearlong study, it has been decided, with the ap· ' proval of Bishop Daniel A. Cro nin, to implement a long·range plan allowing the beginning of badly needed repairs to Sacred Heart Church, Fall River. The decision was announced to parishioners by Father Barry W. Wall, pastor, in a letter ac· companying Sacred Heart's an· nual financial report. Last February the parishioners were consulted concerning a pro posal to demolish the nearly century old church building and to relocate the church in the auditorium of Sacred Heart School, directly across Linden Street from the church. Re spons~s were about evenly di vided in favor of razing or re taining the original church, Father Wall commented. He said that despite some ad vantages to the move, he felt that abandoning the present church and moving to a new site would ultimately be perceived as a negative step. He expressed the hope that the decision to be gin the long process of church restoration would be a source of encouragement and inspira. tion for parishioners. The undertaking will begin

with restoration of Sacred Heart's extraordinary stained glass windows. Of opalescent glass, they were designed by New York artist Alexander S. Locke and were installed in 1913 during the last major renovation of the church. .A special fundraising appeal will be part of the restoration plans. In this connection, Father Wall reminded parishioners that it is important "not just to con tribute but also to participate and worship together. We need not only financial support but also the fraternal and moral support of one another." Sacred Heart parish was formed from St. Mary's parish, now the cathedral parish of the diocese, in 1872. The present church building was dedicated in 1883.

eHD head raps mean-spiritedness

WASHINGTON (NC) - In the country today, there is a "mean spiritedness" toward the poor best characterized by the Reagan administration budget cutbacks, says Father Marvin A. Mottet, executive director for .the nation al Campaign for Human Develop ment. Speaking at a press confer ence, he said that despite "a turning away from the poor, the church remains present," and that in the coming year the CHD will allot over $6 million in grants to self-help programs for the poor. The CHD, a Catholic educa tion-action program, is one of the largest funding agencies of its type in the nation. Father Mottet said that when U.S. leaders speak of the poor "you can tell ..• they don't have a first-hand knowledge. In the budget cuts there is a mean spiritedness where the poor have to take on an inordinate amount of the suffering." Present at the press conference were representatives of some of the projects to receive CHD grants. Steve Nagler, of the Farm worker Justice Fund said the group will attempt to build' a net worleof farmworker advocates. A $56,000 CHD grant will help the network establish legal ser vices and migrant councils for farmworkers. With low-income housing out of reach for most Americans, this country is experiencing "the worst housing crisis we've ever faced," said Kate Crawford of the Low-Income Housing Infor mation Service. With a $43,000

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., October 8, 1982

grant, the service will work in cities across the country for de cent housing at affordable rates for low-income people. Receiving a $27,000 CHD grant, the Center for Constitu tional Rights aims to counter Ku Klux Klan violence through the· court system. The Anti-Death Penalty Or ganizing Project, established for the Southern Coalition of Jails and Prisons, was given $35,000. 191 other grants were also made. Begun by the American bish ops in 1970, CHD is supported by a nationwide Thanksgiving collection. Besides. funding self-help pro jects, CHD provides schools and parishes with. justice education materials through 170 CHD dio cesan directors.

Praying th,e scriptural rosary

A form of rosary devotion common· to the Middle Ages is gaining popularity 'in the United States and is being prayed daily in this rosary month of October in at least one diocesan parish, St. Stanislaus in Fall River. Known as the "scriptural rosary," the method uses quota tions from the Old and New Testaments to recount the story of each mystery of the rosary. For instance, St. Luke's account of Mary's journey to Elizabeth illustrates the mystery of the Visitation, with one or two verses offered for meditation at each bead of the decade. The scriptural rosary develop ed from a medieval form of the prayer still used in the tiny Aus trian village of Schrocken, where inhabitants vowed at -the time of the 14th century Black Death to say the special rosary in perpet uity if their homes were spared by the plague. That rosary con sisted of a thought or medita tion point for each Hail Mary of the IOsary, some drawn from scripture and some of a gener ally pious nature. Today's rosary, ·based almost entirely on direct .scriptural quotations, takes about 15 min utes to recite the usual five de cades, a deterrent to some "hurry-up" Americans. But others point out that concentra tion on each mystery is much

easier using the bead-by-bead meditation technique. A book, a record album and a cassette offer the rosary medita tions for home or group use and a modem update on the medi eval technique - is that a three

O'ROURKE

Dear Mary: My son has always been a good boy. He is intelli· gent but does not make ani effort to study for good grades. We have asked him to try, yet he seems to defy us. He entered a fine college this fall and I am worried that he will continue to take school lightly. - Pennsyl· vania . You say your son entered a fine college. He must have done something right to be accepted there. . At this poil1t your son may think other things are more im portant ·than studies: sports, friends, girls, job, or merely sit ting and dreaming. Whatever his goals,they. are not yours. Goals are personal. You can ,agree or disagree with his goals, '~ut you cannot give him yours. He must form his own. I When children leave for col ~ege, p~rents have little direct fluence over them. Your son s an adult now and is responsi Ie for his own performance. ere are some ways you can upport him. . Keep in touch. Write regularly, . referably every week, whether e answers or not. Most students re not good correspondents. When you write, tell him about he newsy happenings in the amily, the' neighborhood, the

Also a descendant is Bernard Tomlinson of St. Joseph's par ish, Fall River, who sent The Anchor to the Westminster arch diocesan chancery, noting tI:tat an aunt, Mrs. Gertrude Agland of Lancasshire, England, is an other relative of the saint. In acknowledging receipt .of The Anchor, the archdiocesan

Like most other par ticipants, he was beginning to recognize how his faith had grown since childhood. According to workshop lead er, 'Dr. Kenneth Stokes, the purpose of the workshop was to help adults understand the dy :namic aspects of their faith in its relation to their particular stage in life. "I never thought about my faith that way before," is a com mon, enthusiastic reaction' of those who attend his workshops, Stokes says. Yet, properly understood, our personal experience of faith is as unique as our fingerprints. , A middle-aged husband is bound to be at a different place in his faith development than, say, a young coed who is yet to experience some of the more pressing responsibilities of adult life. , What are some of the'implica , tions in saying that our faith develops? 1.

God grown and become more in

tense with each stage of life?

If not, why not? One exercise used by Stokes asks participants to compare ...

their moral attitudes today with those of their early 20s. Upon completing the exercise, one mid dle-aged woman observed that when she was in her early 20s, issues of sexual morality were the ones that got most of her attention. . Over the years, she had come to recognize the importance of other moral issues too, like those of charity and ,social justice and peace. The perspective of her , moral thinking had broadened.. 2. There are a great diversity of faith experiences among peo ple. Therefore, we need to be careful not to presume that our experience of faith holds true in the same way for others or that it is the only correct one. 3. Because of the diversity of faith experiences, we need to share our faith stories with one another. We can greatly benefit from learning how God works in the lives of others. 4. Finally, the fact that faith develops in our lives calls for believers to be ready and will ing to assist one another in their faith journeys, especially during .major events of life or transi tions. We need to have people around who are highly sensitive to the uniqlie and personal ways God works in other people's lives. In recent years, the notion of faith as a developmental process has gained considerable recogni , tion and acceptance among theo logians, researchers and church officials.

I've never kept a diary but if I had and could look back at it, I .know I would find that over the years I have changed. Children pass through distinct phases of development, of course, and everyone changes .In the passage from the teen years to adulthood. But do adults pass through phases? I am certain I did. Furthermore, my exp~rience would not be unique. I changed because of people who played a, role in my life: famiiy members and close friends; teachers; authors of books that had a powerful im pact; fellow workers. 'My attitudes have developed:

Continued from page twelve new book by the popular writer, Gail Sheehy, titled "Path finders," a sequel to her best seller, "Passages." In her new book, Ms. Sheehy discusses people who success fully navigate passages in life. Her research included a life history questionnaire answered by 60,000 people, as well as hun dreds of telephone and personal interviews. Included is the story of "Bill Johnson," a businessman who has gone through several monu mental crises and emerged an altered person. Commenting on his experi ences, Johnston says: "I can't de scribe the joy I feel that I have survived a transition that was in some ways shattering. I'm convinced that I had to go through all the pain and loss and mistakes of it to come out the other side more whole." Johnston, who took the risk of starting his own business in his 40s, went on to say, "Everything isn't perfect. But I feel for the first time that I'm, in control . . . My -life has expanded be yond what I ever imagined possi ble." Ms. Sheehy tells what quali ties she thinks pathfinders have in common. Strong religious faith is very important, she notes. Often, she says, pathfinders turn to prayer as a way of help ing them maneuver through a difficult period. Other times, according to Ms. Sheehy, pathfinders are per suaded by an unexpected crisis to consider religious faith for the first time. For Christians, however, pass ages offer an opportunity to think once again what our Chris tian beliefs mean in our lives.

Beheaded Continued frolT' page twelve the Baptist. Herod's motive in this verision seems spitefully per sonal. John apparently has been censuring the king for his adult erous marriage to Herodias, who is called the wife of Herod's brother Philip. Herodias was Herod's niece and Philip his half-brother. She divorced Philip and married He rod, and John voiced his pro tests publicly. Infuriated Herodias vowed re venge, and found the opportun ity when Herod, pleased with her daughter's lascivious dance, He rod promised to give the girl anything, "even to half of my kingdom." The girl demands, at the urg ing of her mother, Herodias, the head of John the Baptizer. The execution was carried out, and John's disciples "came and car ried his body away and laid it in a tomb." Once again we are reminded of Jesus' destiny. He, too, will be arrested for politico-religious reasons; an innocent prophet, he will be executed' despite his in nocence.

Continued from page twelve time of each one's death I had the sense of gaining a new in sight about what in life is gen uinely lasting. A:nd that, too, changed me. A few weeks ago, I asked a group of teen-agers in a religion class to talk about what it means to be an adult Christian. One turned the question back on me, asking: "What 'do you think it means to be an adult Christian?" In the course of my answer, I asked the 'teen-agers to realize that though older than they, I was still discovering how to grow-up as a person of belief. The fact is, my diary would show, that adulthood is a large ~ndertaking.

Continued from page twelve friends a question they did not expect: "What were you dis cussing on the way home?" They were all silent. Josiah glanced around the room. An Jesus' disciples were staring down at the floor or looking out the windows. They were thinking of their petty argument. They felt ashamed of themselves. Jesus' question told them he knew what they had been arguing about. All the way home they had argued about which of them was the greatest and who was the most important. Jesus invited his friends to move closer to him. They crowd ed around Jesus. They knew that he wanted to tell theIr! some thing he thought was very im portant. Josiah wondered what kind of secret Jesus was going to share with them. Often when they were alone with Jesus he told them things he did not tell the crowds. "If anyone wishes to, rank first," Jesus told his friends, "he must remain the last one of all and the servant of all." Josiah and his disciples felt

the sting of Jesus' words. They were stuggling among them selves for first place. Now Jesus was telling them that the way to be the first was to be- the last. The way to become t~e leader was to be everybody's servant. Just then a young child walked into the room. He belonged to the family whose house they were in.

My diary, it should be added, would include accounts of the births of our children. Especially at the last one, I was struck by the thought that the birth was not so much the beginning of the child's life, as it was a new beginning within her life, a new start outside the womb.

Having reflected on that, I would write in a diary that a personal history is a series of new births. One of the interesting things about being an adult is just that: you begin and begin again. That's why marriages 'and friendships and love can grow; that's why belief can be' refreshed' and re newed.

"Love Child" (Warners): Amy Madigan is Terry Jean Moore, a troubled, unloved teen-ager who undergoes a remarkable trans formation by learning to love. Sentenced to a long term for a crime initiated by a harebrained cousin, she rebels and gets into more trouble. Later she has an affair with a prison guard (Beau Bridges), who abandons her when she becomes pregnant. Prison officials want her to have an abortion or give the baby away, but she fights for her rights and wins. Vivid moments, but poor direction; nevertheless worth seeing for Miss Madigan's per formance. Because of a graphic sex scene and some nudity, "Love Child" is' rated A4, R.
