Pope Delighted

By U.S. Welcome

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador has appealed to the new rulers of El Salvador to deliver on their promises of democracy and justice.

Carlos Humberto Romero '(no relation to the archbishop) last week, saying they wanted to end repression and corruption in the government.

"After perusing the proclamation we acknowledge the good will, clarity of ideas and sense . of responsibility of the new government," the archbishop said. "HQwever, we want to establish very definitely that this Turn to Page Seven

Meeting Is First In 400 Years

VATJCAN CITY {NC) - Pope John Paul-II has thanked the American and Irish people for the welcomes they gave him on his recent trip. He said he was "surprised" by the huge welcome-:he got· in U.S. cities. ! Speaking "to a' crowd of about 50,000 in St. Peter's Square, the pope devoted his Wednesday general audience to recollections of his trip.

Concerning his three-day stay in Ireland, the pope recalled his visits to Clonmacnois Abbey in central Ireland and to Drogheda and its relics of St. Oliver Plunkett, martyred 17th-century archbishop of Armagh.

On his visit with Americans he commented, "Their church is still young because their great society is still young:' "I confess that I was surprised by such a welcome, by such Q response:' he added. "We stuck it out under the rain that fell during the Mass for young people the first evening in Boston. The rain accompanied us on the streets of that city, as it did afterwards on the streets of NewYork, among the skyscrapers.

VATICAN . CITY (NC) The special meeting of the world's cardinals in November called by Pope John Paul II is the first such meeting in over 400 years, according to Cardinal Carlo Confalonieri, dean of the College of Cardinals.

The pope has called all 130 cardinals, including the 11 who' are over 80 years of· age and thus ineligible to enter a conclave, to meet with him at the Vatican Nov. 5-8.

Commenting on the meeting on Vatican Radio, Cardinal Confalonieri said that the practice of the pope calling all- cardinals .together was once quite common but "was gradually attenuated. After more than four centuries we find ourselves faced with this pleasant surprise:' he continued.

"It's' obvious that the cardinals intend to respond the best they can to the trust placed in them, and thus to the august wishes of His Holiness:' said the cardinal.

The Vatican has not announced topics to be discussed at the meeting.

Market Sessions To End Season

Pope To Return, Says Abp. Quinn

i

SAN FRANCISCO (NC) Pope John Paul II will visit the West and Southwest the next time he comes to the United States,and he will do so in the next year or two, said Arch" bishop John Quinn of San Francisco, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

But nothing has been definitely set concerning the time of another papal visit to the United States, the archbishop said at a news conference.

The next papal trip will be to the Philippines next year, he said, and there may also be a trip next year to Brazil.

The archbishop was asked about the incident at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington in which Sister Theresa Kane, president of the Leadership' Conference of Women Religio,us, urged that the church open all its ministries to women and urged the I pope "to be mindful of the intense suffering and pain which) is part of the life of many women in the Ubited States."

The' archbishop said he did not think the pope was surprised by the expression oLdissent. The pope "understands the American church .very well," 1:le said, noting that the p/ope sees U.S. bishops frequently and that advocates of women's ordination have been to Rome to present their case to Vatican officials.

Concerning political implications of the papal trip, Archbishop Quinn said "The pope is not directly involved in politics and naturally would never be.

But he is speaking about the moral implications of political realities."

Asked about possible papal mediation of the conflict in Northern Ireland, the archbishop said that "if the pope were asked to play any kind of a role, he probably would."

Giving his personal impressions of the trip and of the pope, Archbishop Quinn said the tw~ events that impressed him most were the meeting with young people in New York's Madison Square Garden and the visit to United Nations headquarters.

The archbishop called the· pope " a man of great inner composure, inner peace and joy," He said he never saw the pope in a 'bad mood or angry, despite his heavy schedule. "He was always very courteous and thoughtful," the archbishop said.

Deregulated Schools FRANKFORT, Ky. (NC) - The Kentucky Supreme Court in a landmark ruling has limited the power of the state to reg~­ late private schools. The sevenmember court unanimously held that the state cannot require private schools to hold state accreditation, set standards for quality of instruction, require, certification of private school teachers or force private schools to use state-approved textbooks.

Sister Desiree Trainer, SP, organizer of the Fall River Farmers' Market and president of its sponsoring Food Alternatives Community Team, will conduct two meetings on Saturday at Holy Name school hall, Fall River. They will mark the successful conclusion of the market's first season.

At 2:30 p.m. market participants will meet to view a film, • "Crisis in Yankee Agriculture," hear a wrapup report on the 16week market season and discuss fut~re plans for the project.

At a 7 p.m. meeting all FACT members will discuss food alternatives outreach projects and will also view the agriculture film. The public is invited to . the evening session. , Sister Desiree noted that 91 growers participated in th~ summer market, selling foods, plants, animals and shellfish to some 3000 customers weekly.

In 1952, Mother Teresa opened . the Nirmal Hriday (Pure Heart) Home for Dying Destitutes in' a dorrpitorydonate,d by the city. of Calcutta.. Although some of those taken in survive, its primary function is to be a shelter where the poor may die in dignity. More than 30,000 persons have b~en brought to the home since it opened.

The Missionaries of Charity, who wear white cotton saris edged in blue, now have more. than 1,200 members in 30 Indian cities and more than 20 other places, including Venezuela, Ceylon, Jordan, Rome, New York, London and Melbourne: In his book "Something Beautiful for God," about Mother Teresa, Malcolm Muggeridge quotes her saying: "The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather'the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for and deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbor who lives at the roadside assaulted by exploitation, corruption, poverty and disease," Mother Teresa's singleness of purpose is. evident in many ways, including her practice of rising every day at 4:30 a.m., regardless of the hour at which she retired or where she may be.

Asked for the secret of her ability to do this, she once said: "I sleep fast,"

A Gift For Us All ' Taken in light of the tremendous events that have occurred in the life of the .church during' this past year, the awarding of the Nobel Prize for Peace to Mother Teresa of Calcutta is indeed a unique highlight whose rays will be reflected throughout the world. ' Although the Nobel Committee usually tends to recognize the acts of man, it is wonderful to see that despite the honor it pays the explorers of the complicated and the unknown, it also recognizes the simple, the generous fmd the humble.

There is no question about the love relationship of the non-church world with this wonderful woman who seeks th,e ~ord in the leper, the homeless and the destitute.

Yet it seems that her living of the gosp~l message in truth and honesty has been a sign of contradictiori, not so much to the non-Catholic world as tq many in the church itself. ' In an era of church history during which a Polish pope and an Albanian nun, both acquainted with sorrow, have won international recognition from a secular society, it is indeed unfortunate that some who still say they are part of this suffering body see in each of them a sign of contradiction. ' To those seeking to do their own thing, to those who find in organized protest an outlet for their own personal frustration, to those who would defy the true and valid teaching of the church, Mother Teresa, her work and her mission, have little meaning.

Somehow, these misled and misinformed people see in picketing and street marches the answer to their own unacknowledged failures and faults. Departing from the gospel, , ignoring the papacy and intimidating the church itself, they have reduced themselves and their cause to the level of a public embarrassment and their, antics to the status of an ignorant undertaking. , This devoted and dedicated, woman of God haS demonstrated to all the' vocal dissidents that one will find true recognition of his or her role in the church only when he or she sincerely' follows the beatitudinal way historically re:-fleeted by and in the church.

Mother Teresa, time and again, has urged Catholics to seek the Lord in the message he preached and to live the ,reality of that message directed by those Christ appointed' as his Vicars.

Ehcourag~d by the church, supported by the papacy, she has brought glory to all women who daily labor to bring the teaching of Jesus and his church to the least of his brethren. Because of her'fidelity, love and compassion she has won the hearts of all who truly seek to restore all things in Christ.

Through her sign of service she has indeed proven that actions inspired by the message of the Master have more positive power to light candles in men's lives than has all the verbiage of those dissidents in the church whose selfishness merely curses the daFkness. ' , May the inspiration of Mother Teresa renew all of us 'who seek to live Christ in fidelity and truth. May she also inspire all women in the church who seek to do God's will, especially those who are floundering and frustrated in fulfillment of their vocational responsibility.

'Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.' Ps. 126:1

Are Nukes the' New ,Forbidden: 路F'ruit? ,

The following editorial appeared in The Catholic Witness, newspaper 'of the Harrisburg, Pa., Diocese. It is by' Father Thomas R. Haney, executive director.

In the Garden of Eden about the only energy debate was whether- to bask all day in the sun or seek the friendly shade路 of a tree heavy with unforbidden fruit.

It would take far more than the distance any intercontinental ballistic missile can reach to measure the technological space between the Garden of Eden and Three Mile Island. And the present energy debate centers on our God-given freedom of human ingenuity.

Just as our first parents' , ahuse of freedom turned the garden into a desert forever lost in the shifting sands of history, so too our abuse of human ingenuity has turned the island into a nightmare currently present' in the costly' concrete silos of nuclear reactors.

In his pastoral letter, 'published in this issue, Bishop Daley calls for a moratorium on the construction of any more nuclear plants until we are certain all is safe.

And indeed a moratorium should be declared on all those experiments which, should ,be conducted in controlled research laboratories instead of in the open crucible of neighborhood backyards. ,Bishop Daley also advocates a moratorium on increased en-

ergy consumption. A point well urged. In the garden it was excessive consumerism that began all our troubles. Surrounded by myriads of fruit trees, Adam and Eve were not satisfied. They had to have more. So they took a chance. They ate the forbidden fruit. (.

So too with us. The island means that we have to have more. And that we're willing tQ take a chance. This time it's with a form of energy that has proved to be far less safe than it's advocates promised. A form of energy that should be a forbidden fruit until the promises become a reality - if ever!

Bishop Daley warns against immediate gratification"with little or no regard for future generations. This is certainly a major' lesson we should have learned from our first parents. In this context the moral distance between the garden and the island can Ibe measured in millimeters.

A moratorium should not be a time of sterile indifferente.

Rather it should be the occasion of fruitful learning and teaching, honesty and evaluation, dialogue and planning between scientists and us common folks.

Nobel :Prize winner Roger Guillemin makes a distinction between science and technology.

"Science," he says, "deals with the acquiring of new knowledge.

The use, including the misuse or ill use, of that knowledge is the realm of politicians, engineers and technologists." Sounds like a fair distinction. But it would

be less than honest for scientists to hide their responsibility behind the woven fig leaves of such a distinction. After all, our first parents were seeking new knowledge when they ate the forbidden fruit. And they were held 'accountable.

We are at the most crucial point in history for the planting of technological seeds for those future generations the bishop speaks ot The question is, what kind of garden are we cultivating?

Dear Editor: Some of the critical comments that have been expressed reo garding the historic Boston visit

by Pope John Paul refer to the whyness of a Mass and the seemingly elaborate stage and altar for the celebration of Mass.

Some .early cr-itics asked: "Why a Mass? Why not a speech from a simple platform?" Allow me to offer a few remarks that might. be apropos of this unprecedented visit. . First, why a Mass? Professionally the Pope is a priest, and according to ancient Judaeo- Christian tradition, the essential work of a priest is to offer sacrifice to God in r~paration for the sins of mankind. John Paul professionally performed his priestly celebration of Mass for us at Boston Common because this is the role for which he was divinely called.

We are also taught that as the "Vicar of Christ" on Earth, he possesses the three messianic roles of: (1) teacher, (2) ruler (spiritual) and (3) priest, as did his religious Founder and Lord, ·.Jesus Christ. He performed his role as priest in celebrating Mass publicly at the Common.

May God bless America by this historic papal visit. Long live our Holy Father John Paul II!

lie's Trying Dear Editor: I have great respect for President Carter as a president. The country is fortunate indeed to have him in office. Considering the increasing violence, sarcasm, sex and selfishness in our country, I wonder if we'll be so lucky next year.

That was quite. an attack you launched in your Aug. 23 column. The Anchor has many fine articles, including the remarkable Kenny column. The Mooring is interesting 'and cleverly written, but often not fair.

President Carter has tried to keep the peace and offered positive suggestions in many areas,

including energy.

Certainly, some of his suggestions are deIbatable, but at least he made an honest effort to do what was good for our country. I'm sure the same can be said of most of our politicians.

John P. Laird Pocasset

'Yellow Journalism' Dear Editor: The biographical sketch of the pope in your Oct. 4 issue could have been useful and informative. However, its usefulness was completely destroyed by the malicious insertion of' "yellow journalism" on page 12.

Twenty-eight lines, on his early pre"papal love life which your own article labels "rumor," "un~ substantiated" and "emphatically denied" by the Vatican.

Also, the insidious innuendo in your reference to the pope's "teasing" remarks in Poland. All this makes a juicy tidbit of . "yellow journalism."

Only i.9urnals and editors without honor or integrity resort to this practice. Decency, a high standard of editorial policy and integrity publish .only substantiated facts.

Had I read this in a secular newspaper, I wou.ld have resented it. But reading it in The A'nchor nauseates and appalls. ,Mr. Editor, you reallY.owe your : ..reade'rs· an apology. .

Priestly 'Parents Dear Editor: Congratulations on the very excitirig vocations issue. The subject of vocations, or rather the lack of them, .has .often been the topic of our conversations with many couples.

We're going to ask ourselves questions such as: How often do we as parents speak to our children about priests or religious that we know? How often do we allow our children to experience priests as people-dinner guests or simply friendly visitors?

abilities of the dissenter are questioned.

V\cars of Christ have sa~c­ tioned too many highly obj(!ctionable things in the past 20 Your statement in The Moorcenturies (my Church is painfully human) for me to swallow ing that "the impetus (for vocaDo we tell our kids how much every official teaching like an tions) must come from the kitchunchewed aspirin. eo table as well as the divine it means to go to Mass, receive ' the Eucharist or be reconciled We Christians can' be neither , table" has prodded this letter. to the Lord through' the actions democracy nor dictatorship, nor One quality profoundly a part of his human representatives? can' priests, including even the Holy 'Father, lay a unique claim of the priesthood is the ability Do we encourage youngsters toto holiness, intelligence, inspira- to' offer sacrifice.

.Objections Dear Editor: I object to Mr. Michael Thomas's labeling of the action .of the women protesters' in Boston as "heinous" (Anchor, Oct. 11).

That is a ridiculously strong term to use, considering the extent of what they actually did.

I also object to his statement "that it is evident" that they are "dedicated to themselves and not to the Church." Where is the evidence? Has he spoken to them personally and asked about their actions and motivations? I would like to hear his reasons as well as his conclusion.

He also says it is his opinion, based on his own judgment of these women's fidelity and reverence, that they should be removed from their ministries.

Would he agree if we should decide to judge his display of Christian charity and suggest he be denied ordination?

Finally I object to the insult contained in the Editor's Note which followed Mr. Robert McGowan's letter. Since when does the decree of any man, even of, the Pope, reduce the mentality and motivations of anyone to the status of a moot question?

Only in military dictatorships where leaders are automatically right by virtue of their office is a dissenter made automatically wI:ong by virtue of his differences. There too in censored papers the issues he might have raised are ignored' and -instead the mental and/or moral cap-

Andrew, Once' Mo~e, Refuses To Suffer

By REV. ANDREW M. , GREELEY

There are many disadvantages in speaking the truth.

If you do it too often, too honestly and with too much empirical evidence, you end up a pariah. That's ·fair enough.

You take your exclusion for granted. But that doesn't excuse the cowardice and hypocrisy of those who exclude you. ,For the past '18' years, my coIIeagues at National Opinion Research Center and I have ,done virtually .the only high quality social research that exists on American Catholicism"

Opiniolns ,of Jo,hn. Pa,ul II: Seem Ope,n to, Discussi,on By

MARY CARSON

Before he was pope, John Paul made a reputation for himself at Vatican II for his strong support of collegiality, papal sharing of responsibility with bishops. He wa!! keenly aware that the conditions in Poland were different· from those in other parts of the world.

The Polish bishops had to make decisions suitable. for their own country.

Now, in our country, we've had an opportunity to see and hear a' great deal of this man.

And I'm inclined to believe that his appreciation of collegiality is still there.

Restructuring Set for Baton Rouge Bishop Joseph V. Sullivan of Baton Rouge has returned after two weeks: in, Rome where he . consulted with Pope John Paul II and key advisers and decided to restructure -the consultative process fo~ priests under his jurisdiction.

Bishop Sullivan has been the focus of heated controversy recentIy.'over his removal of the Claretian Fathers from a Catholic center at Louisiana State-' University.

His directives, issued in a four~ page pastoral ietter Aug. 15, call for the formation of a new diocesan pastoral council with ad hoc committees set up' to provide "widest possible dialogue with all ·concerned." ,Furthermore, the bishop wrote, a management design institute will-be held to "facilitate recommendations for procedural steps toward a positiv~, efficient, representative restructuring of the bishop's senate t)f priests.'"

By Father John Dietzen Q. Some of us need help in understanding confession today.

I joined the church when we were married 52 years ago. I learned a lot from our four children who went to a Catholic school, but we are now retired in Florida.

In recent years we have had a couple of priests who conducted communal penance services.

At present our parish has a big confession twice a year with several priests hearing in all comers of the church.

After watching others, I think my sins may be rather childish.

We go to Mass every day, so our sins are mostly small ones ' - missing prayers once a week, talking about our neighbors, and so on.

Someone told me simply to say that I have sinned against charity and am sorry for all the sins of my life.

Maybe you could help make it simpler for all of us.

The United Way Works For YOU

A. As much as it would please me to do so, it is impossible for me to personally pursue marriage cases with readers of the Question Corner.

I am happy to supply any information that could be helpful, but even apart from limitations of time and distance (I receive many such requests from different parts of the country every week), church law normally requires that such marriage procedures be pursued through the parish or diocese of the individual involved.

You probably' know that a "communal absolution ~ere­ mony:' which priests may provide under certain limited conditions, includes everything necessary for the sacrament of penance. This includes an expression of sorrow for 'sins by the penitents, giving of absolution , by the priest and so on.

I assume this is what you ,mean by "communal confessions." Any serious sins must be confessed privately some time later, but at that type of communal penance service no furthera'ction is' needed for full 'reception of the sacrament.

Other communal penance services combine prayers and reflections together as a group, with private confession of sins and private absolution. This you mention as your present parish' practice.

Reception of the sacrament of penance twice a year for someone like yourself is certainly reasonable. Either way of confessing that you mention is fine, though I think it is more helpful - and more to the point to focus attention on our sinful: ness, the sources of our sins, like greed, pride, selfishness, and so on, than on' the sinful actions that result from those "capital" sins.

I think you:re on the right track and I hope you 'continue to find the sacrament of pen-'/ ance as helpful for you as it seems to be now.

For Children II

Of 20th-century Protestant ,theologians, Paul Tillich is perhaps the most philosophical.

Born in Germany in 1886, he earned doctorates in both philosophy and theology. For a period he was the colleague of the famous existentialist philosopher, Martin Heidegger, at the University of Marburg. , In 1933, because of his coui"ageous resistance to Hitler, he emigrated to the United States, where he taught first at Union Theological Seminary' in New York, then at Harvard University and finally at the University of Chicago until his death in 1965. He ,is perhaps most widely known' for his book, "The Courage to Be." A three-volume "Systematic Theology" is his most important work.

Deeply influenced by exis, tentialist currents of thought and depth psychology, Tillich was convinced that' a truly "saving" theology must address, the concrete situation of man. To do this he devetoped his "method of correlation," combining, existential ,analysis and theological reflection. ' . , . ,.. , The method of correlation "explains the contents of Christian faith through existential questions and theological answers in mutual interdependence." What this means, for Tillich, is that the theologian must draw upon the insights that contemporary culture, in particular existential philosophy and depth psychology, can provide in order to discover the human situation out of which the existential questtions arise." Only then can the theologian seek to demonstrate that the "symbols used in the Christian message are the answers to these questions."

Tillich's own ana-lyses of our existential situation are rich and probing. He emphasized such , themes as our experience of our .finitude and alienation" our dread of death as a power inescapably and menacingly confronting us and forcing us to an acknowledgment of our finitude.

Our own lived experience, Tillich argues, forces upon us the realization that' man "is estrapged from the ground of his being, from other beings, from himself."

Tillich sees that the "symbols" of Christian faith in fact provide the answers to the agonizing questions raised by 'our experience of finitude and alienation. By symbols he means realities laden with meaning, and the chief symbols of the Christian faith are those of God, Christ and salvation through Christ. For Tillich God is the "ground" or "abyss" of being; he is himself beyond "being" and the "power of being."

Theologia~

Christ is the symbol of God's unity with mankind, for Christ is, that man "in whom God found his image undistorted."

Christ is the man in whom the original unity with mankind that God willed is realized, and he is the man in and through whom all men can find the courage to be truly themselves and to exist in unity with God. 'Tillich's thought, although rich in existential and phenom, eriological analyses, and therefore of great help in appreciating more fully God's' love for us, is ultimately incompatible (in my judgment and in that of many who have studied his work carefully) with Catholic faith.

He has a somewhat cavalier attitude toward "Jesus of Nazareth," and he <ronsiders the doctrine of the incarnation inadequate and fraught with danger.

He contends that the statement "God became man" is truly nonsense; thus for him the historical Jesus is not of much importance.

What he' finds significant is the "personality" of the Christ ,of faith, of the man who displays to ,us our,.~anhood'Jand God's will for union and friendship with J.lS. Thus in explaining the "symbols" of Christill'11 faith Tillich, in large measure, explains them, away.

A careful study' of Tillich shows, in my judgment, that he was profoundly influenced by an old philosophical system, that , of Plotinus, who conceived of God as the utterly' unique One lying beyond all being, all essence and existence. This Plo~ tinian philosophy, itself a "sal-' vation" philosophy concerned with the return of the many to the One, was mediated to Tillich thro,ugh German idealistic thought and was fused by him with existential themes taken from Heidegger'· and then used as a vehicle for ·interpreting Christianity.

While his rich thought provides brilliant and beautifully poignant insights into the meaning of our existence, it fails to take seriously th~ historical roots of Christian faith, the reality of the flesh and, finally, the wonderful goodness of God.

For Children Continued from Page Twelve I am the king of the Jews, but not in the way you would understand the word 'king,''' The chief priests kept accusing Jesus of turning the crowds against Rome. Pilate listened to them as he gazed steadily at Jesus. This certainly did not seem to ibe a violent man. Gradually Pilate. figured out what was happening. He realized that the religious leaders were jealous of Jesus. They wanted to get rid of him. But only the Roman governor· had the authority to condemn a man to death. That was why the chief priests had brought Jesus to him.

He suspected Jesus was innocent, but he questioned him further. "Don't you hear all the accusations against you? Surely • you must have some answer to them," But to Pilate's amazement, Jesus said nothing in his own defense.

By this time a large crowd had gathered. It was customary for .the governor to release a pl'isoner at the time of Passover and the people had come to ask that Pilate carry out this custom.

Pilate used the opportunity to free Jesus. He was convinced of his .innocence, so he had a terrOl'ist brought from the prison, a man named Barrabas. "Who· should I release to you, Barrabas or Jesus?" The chief priests guessed what Pilate was trying to do. They told the crowd to ask for Barrabas.

So Pilate set Barrabas free.

He then asked the crowd. "What am I to do with the man you call the king of the Jews?" They shouted back, "Cruoify him!"

Pilate gave in to the crowd.

He was afraid there would be a disturbance. He was even more afraid that word would get back to Caesar in Rome. He feared' what Caesar would do to. ,him if he freed someone accused of treason against· the emperor.

So he ordered that Jesus be cruoified. He was wiiling to let , an innocent man die rather than risk Caesar.'s anger.

Feelings Continued from Page Twelve able me to express my anger in the right fashion at the right time.

Anger denied cannot spend its force wisely and moderately.

When it bursts out finally, it does so in an uncontrollllible way. Spiritual formation allows anger to be relieved in a forthright talk with the Lord, with a good friend, husband, wife or spiritual director. Such openness drains our anger; it allows the flow of spiritual formation to continue.

Spiritual self-formation helps me to see in a new light the persons, events and things that atouse my anger.

But it is not enough to cultivate this wider vision. First I must know that I am angry, then find out why. Then I can do something about the way I feel.

For instance, my feeling threatened by certain situations can be lessened by my faith experience •of being cared for by an eternal love.

Thoreau asked, ··.·What is the lse of a house if you haven't a ~olerable plaset to put it on?"

What we need to proclaim is the ethic of ENOUGH! The economist Hazel Henderson, in a speech to religious wo·men, said, "We now have an economic system that operates on many of the seven deadly sins: ]reed, pride, sloth, lust, selfishness." We act as if our society ~xists for its economy instead :>f the other way around. Not nough . of us wrestle with the :eally hard questions.

Extolling efficiency, we 'don't

ask, "Efficient for whom and over what time frame?" Greedy for profits, we· don't ask, "Is there a profit without a loss somewhere, to someone, at some time?" And the "some time" includes future generations for we do not so much inherit the world from our parents as we borrow it from our children.

What we need is an Exodus from the old ways. It'j as if all institutions have been corrupted" "by the fleshpots of Egypt" so that they can't seem to get going in the right. direction. If we get serious about our own Exodus there's no telling what Promised Land is in store. What resources there are in nature! One thinks of the sun and the wind and the wave - all renewable sources of energy.

Other resources that can be liberated without being exhausted are inner resources: gifts of the Holy Spirit. More and more letters talk about the Holy Spirit and the strength they have found through it. Young people talk about the "inner heauty" as preferred to the outward.

There are those who do .not measure the quality of life in terms of investments and dividends but in the quality of spirit.

Jesus is their model, Jesus who opened a new dimension to life.

Every Christian, it's been saic;j, needs two conversations: the first to Christ; the second to the world. Before we can do anything we need to get into God's sanctuary, to be alone with Him. There He shows us who and what we are, what we can become, and, by His grace, how we can do it.

When we leave the' sanctuary we know that we are not alone.

We feel we are led by a hand and held by a power not our own. When we come to God it's as if we were looking from the other side of' the heavens, seeing the same things from an.other standpoint.

May more and more of our disturbed and lonely youth be led to the sanctuary and there be refreshed and strengthened.

God does it again and again and again!
