Se.cond Session Sets Pattern

For Council; Revises Litu'rgy

By Rev. John R. FoIster

St. Anthony of Padua - New Bedford

Our children and their children will have to memorize the date of Dec. 4,. 1963. On that memorable day, an eventful Council session ended and Christian worship was thoroughly revised. In theory, earth shaking ideas were taking form in the Council; in practice, the liturgical decree put into living print the mind and heart of the Church.

Success or Failure Of S'econd Session Is Being Debated By Rev. Edward J. Mitchell The second session of Vat ican Council II is over, and with it has ended the daily

run of episcopal buses, .the

morning's marathon speech

tramping at the bishops' heels. St. Peter's has finally been given back to tourists, and Rome's hotels, restaurants and religious goods stores have set tled down to a Ion g Winter's rest.

Liturgy

Second Session WHY CHANGES?

SECRECY Greatly reduced during the Second Session that it covered only the actual texts of pro posed schemata and the work of individual com missions.

Fall River, Mass., Thursday, Dec. 12, 1963

of Dioceses, the role of the laity in the Church, and the responsibility of the laity for bringing the light of Christianity to the world. Each one of these topics stimulated a tide of discussion and even debate. And all were remanded to the Commissions for further and better elaboration. It might help the impatient priest or layman looking for immediate results from the Council to reflect that a body of 2200 Prelates, representing various national, ethnic and historical traditions, each one of them entitled to be heard, can make de mands not alone on the patience of the clergy and the laity who await, but even and especially on the temper of those that parti cipate in the Council. But remember please that there is freedom of speech, without filibuster. A glance at .the activities and results of deliberations in Congress where not many more than -five hundred legisla tors are in session might give us some sense of how far superior thus far is the record of the Ecumenical Council. Much, of course, remains to be done Turn to Page Seven

MODERATORS A new way of presiding over -the daily de bates was devised whereby four Cardinal,s would each preside over a subject until the debate on the subject was terminated.

OBSERVERS Sixty-three non-Catholic observers were 'pre sent for the Second Session, - an increase of eighteen over the First Session.

LAYMEN

That "both texts and rites should be drawa: 'up so that they express more clearly the holy

things which they signify; the Christian people • •• should be enabled to understand them with ease and to take part in them fully, actively, and as benefits a community." Rites should be distinguished by "noble sim 'plicity •.• sho,rt, clear and unencumbered by useless repetitions, ... within the people's powers of comprehension and normally should not re quire much explanation .•• .' At present things are not such, 10 •••

MASS

An official role was extended to laymen. They were auditors (one actually spoke at the Council) and advisers to various commissions and epis copal meetings and press conferences.

It is the ''memorial of His (Christ's) Death' and Resurrection: a sacrament of love, .a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet in which Christ is eaten, the mind filled with grace, and a pledge of future glol'1' is given to

WOMEN

us."

It was suggested that they too be accepted as

auditors and advisers. The measure was not acted on.

CURIA REFORM One week before the Council's Second Ses sion began, Pope Paul said that the Curia "grown ponderous with its own venerable age" would have to be simplified and decentralised. It was pointed out, however, that the re forms "would be formulated and promulgated by the Curia itself." Turn to Page Four

Christians attending are "not strangers' and spectators" but "through a good understanding of the rites and prayers, they should take part in the sacred action conscious of what they are doing, with devotion and full collaboration." The rite of the Mass is to be revised to better show the nature and difference of its parts and participation more easily achieved. New rites will be simple, without duplications, some ad ditions will be disregarded and some meaningful parts dropped because of history will be restored. Turn to Page Five

Ninth' Annual Charity Ball January 8th The ninth annual Bishops' Charity Ball at Lincoln Park on Wednesday night, Jan. 8 next will be the best ever.' This assurance came today from the directors of the season's out standing social event. Ralph Stuart and his orchestra will play for dancing. "It may seem strange but al ready we are getting requests for tickets," said Albert Petit of the St. Vincent de Paul So ciety. "You would think people would be too encompassed in Christmas to be thinking about January, but they are making plans to attend the ball," ob served Mr. Petit who servea as

ball chairman of the Vincentian group.

Faithful May Select Day of Observance Of Christmas Vigil The Chancery Office has is sued the following notice: "The Sacred Congregation of the Council, bY' a decree of December 3rd, 1959, granted to each of the faithful the privilege of selecting either December 24th or December 23rd for the observance of the law of fast and complete absti. nence associated wiUl the Vi&i1 of Christmas."

"And, of course, this naturally delights us," averred Mrs. Aris tides Andrade of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, co sponsors of the social event which is conducted annually to aid the Most Reverend Bishop in the arduous task of operating and maintaining diverse dio cesan charitable institutions. "Right now it looks as if we are headed for the largest and the finest social in the nine-year history of the event," said Mrs. Noonan. Tickets may be procured at each rectory in the diocese as well as from representatives of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Diocesan Women.

American Bishop

Worldl s Oldest .

Second Vatican Council Session Prepares· for Future Action Continued from Page One Suggestions of reform were sec onded by the Fathers also: (a) members be recruited on a "supranational" basis; (b) mem bers have an "ecumenical edu cation" before being accepted; (c) local bishops do at home that work that can be done there more eIIiciently; (d) some local ~ishops may be brought to Rome.

EPISCOPAL SENATE The Pope, before the Council opened, suggested that diocesan bishops - according to the desire of the Council - could come to Rome and be associated with the Pope - in a certain way and for certain questions - in the study and responsibility of Church government. This led to speculations of the creation of an Episcopal Senate. The matter has been refered to the Third Session, treatment of the Schema on the Church.

VERNACULAR In overwhelming votes, use of the vernacular was permitted for the Mass, the Sacraments and the Sacramentals. Arrangements were also made for simultaneous translation of the debates held during the council. This method will have to be perfected for the Third Session. Ten Bishops from 9 English speaking countries sta'rted /the work of preparaing a 'Common language text for the Mass and the Sacraments. CHU~CH-STATE

The phrase "regrettable sepa ration" of Church and State was objected to by the American Bishops as a wl}ole through two of tbeir spokesmen. So important was this subject that it was thought better to refer it to the 17th - ~hema on the Church and the Modern World. Question un resolved.

RACE Again an American speaking 1101' the entire U.S. Hierarchy .asked for a clear statement on the equality of ra'CCS.

MARI010GY Here many misinterpreted the Fathers' procedure vote. Noth ing w.as intended as an offense, a lessening of the role, -etc. of the Blessed Virgin. It was simply decided that instead of treating Our Lady with all her preroga tives, since the main purpose of the Council was the Church in her pastoral activity, that Our Lady be treated in Council only in her relationships with the Church. That she be called "Mother of the Church" con cluded Pope Paul.

COllfEGtA J.ITY The belief that -each bishop through union with the other bishops and the Pope has a re "5ponsibility i n t h e e n til' e Church's ,government was men tioned. Ina test vote, it was pointed out that the over whelming majority pf the Bish tlpS felt that: (a) Episcopal Con secration is the higbest degree oI the Sacrament of Holy Orders; (b) individual bishops belong to a college of bishops; (c) this college sllcceeds the Apostolic College; (d) the college of bish ops - with the Pope, has power by divine right. The theory was expressed, the actual definition or detail has been left for the 3rd Session.

The retired bishop of AlbaD]1., the Most Rev. Edmund F. Gib bons, at 95 years of age, becomes the world's oldest bishop. The American P1"elate was born in Hartsdale, N. Y. on Sept. 16, 1$8 and was ordained ill Rome on }.lay 2'1, 1893. After OJ'dination, he .returned to the Diocese of Buffalo where he held various diocesan and parish posts. In March, 1919, he was named Bishop of Albany. During his 36 years as Bishop of Albany, he greatly expanded the facilities of the diocese, cre ating nearly 60 parishes, 2 col leges, and particiPated in many statewide and national activities. "I thank God for my long life," commented the retired Bishop, "and especially for the latter part of it, since my retirement. I have found complete content ment," the prelate ended.

DlACONAn It was resolved that the Dia conate be restored as a per manent and distinct status in the Church. The matter was sent as a guide to the Commis sL .•s preparing the matter for the Third Session, to be incor porated as an expression of the feeling of the Fathers. It was not decided by vote but only through a vote - give the com missions .an adequate ' tl1e Fathers' opinions.

CURIA ROLE Here there were sharp clashes. Some alleged there bad been undue i n tel' fer e n c e in the arrangements of the schemata. Others furiously objected to practices of the Curia's highest body - the Holy Office. Mem bers of the Curia answered with strong protests. An attack on the Curia and its praetic¢s was according to these latter - an .attack on the Holy Father. (Al though it seemed that the Pope had brought the matter up in t',n first place.)

JEWISH RELATIONS A document treating oI the Jews and absolving them of many misconceptions was warm ly received by the Fathers. However, when it came up for debate it was attacked not on its substance but rather on its inclusion in this schema, since it concerned unity among Chris tians, which Jews are not. Many feared Arab reaction. It was pointed .out that the docu ment had come from Pope John XXIII Himself. Unresolved be cause of lack of time.

ECUMENISM Many Bishops spoke of the caution and the care not to pro voke scandal in the weak in the treatment of this schema for the Unity of Christians. Cardinal Ritter and many others stated that the council should discuss all issues. An American bishop rebuked some of the Fathers for their non-realistic and non-Christian treatment of Protestants. Angli cans were treated with -special attention. In speaking Qf the Orthodox many marriage practices came under fire and a suggestion for 8 Dual-Council with them taking part was even made. The entire matter was unre solved because of lack ~f time.

REVISIONS The Pope ordered the i~crease in the membership of each com mission and their right to vote for s{)me of their respective of ficials. The Pope apparently reflected his opinion for some kind of col legiality 'and a certain inde pendence of the Curia in recog !"Jising - not granting - certain powers in the diocesan bishops, which powers they possessed by the mere fact that they were bishops. The Pope insisted that the Council was not in recess but the Commissions would have tQ redouble their efforts and the individual Fathers would have to study the matters of the Third Session before (..o ming to Rome and also send their opinions on concrete matters by certain de signated dates.. New and stronger emphasis was laid to the spiritual prepa rations for the success of the council by prayer and penance by the Pope's announcement of a pilgrimage to Palestine. He in . vited all the bishops to unite in spirit and prayer - with -him dur~ those pr.;oy.erful Qys.

Steps of the Fisherman

Elte.sill

The title of a recent best-seller - The Steps of the Fisherman - will come dramatically alive next month when Pope Paul makes an unprecedented trip to the Holy Land as a pilgrim to pray for the success of the Council and for world peace. Not since those holy places were hallowed by the pressence of Christ and trod humbly by the first Pope, St. Peter, has a Vicar of Christ walked literally in the footsteps of the Master. Pope Paul's decision sprang from the warmth of his heart - was a Pope John type of act - and has evoked a response that shows that men of every religious belief are touched by simplicity and sincerity and Gospel-like action. Pope Paul will show men a side of the Papacy that they never knew existed. They picture the head of the· Catholic Church as a monarch, a lord surrounded by pomp and riches. How thrilling for them to see the Pope as he really is - the servant of the servants of God, the fol lower of Christ Who was poor, the one who might suffer . the Vatican to be his home but one whose feet are set in the path of the shepherd to whom Christ commended His· sheep and His lambs, the fisherman whom Christ com manded to lower the net to catch men for the Kingdom.

Taking Time Some have complained that the second session of the Vatican Council moved slowly. But certainly all must marvel at the wonderful decree on liturgy that will do so much to revitalize man's aware ness of God and his service of God and his praise of the Creator - the first and happiest duty of his existence.· And the very slowness of the Council deliberations stand for the world to view as a tribute to the freedom of each bishop, each successor of the Apostles, to speak his mind under the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God. The bishops of the Church have the solemn duty of shepherding the souls of men to salvation. Theirs is the Faith that we others hold and follow. No wonder, then, that they are taking time to deliberate the techniques and means of making the Faith more meaningful in the lives of men. Much work will be done before the next session of the Council. The prayers of all- Catholic and non-Catholic are still needed that the Spirit may breathe freely through the bishops in their momentous undertakings.

These Several Weeks The people of the Greater Fall River Area have written a magnificent page of generosity and sacrifice in their con tributions for the new Catholic High School for Boys. The remark has been passed by knowledgeable people that for all too many years the people of the Fall River Area still thought that the Depression of the Thirties was still on. So great was their fear that it would be impossible to get them to give in any significant measure to a cam paign or a drive. Thank God that so worthy a goal as a much-needed and long-awaited boys' high school has given the lie to that remark. . True, in the course of the high school campaign, there were those who could have given and did not. Their greatest tragedy is not that they did not give - but the reason for their not giving: lack of charity, little concern for others or for Catholic education, too great a trust in money and their own resources. , Those who gave to the drive have gained for they will be rewarded by God. Those who could have given and did not are the losers for their money will some day go and will be spent as a monument to selfishness rather than as a tribute to sacrifice. And those whose prayers and gifts and work for the drive are making the high school possible are worthy of the gratitude of the generations to come who will benefit directly and indirectly from what has been accomplished in these past several weeks.

In Fall River The first of what is hoped will be a monthly series of Bible Vigils was held on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception at St. Jean Baptiste Church, Fall River, under sponsorship of the parish CYO. Selections from Isaias and St. Paul illustrating God's love and what man's response should be were read by Carol Laroche, Jeanne St. Yves and Henri Ray_ mond, while Anne Richards, Robert Goyette and Gerald Des rosiers delivered commentaries applying the readings to every day life. Alternating responses were given by the congregation and" the service closed with Bene diction. Bible Vigils are a growing means of participating in the liturgical renewal now taking place in the Church and are be coming popular with Catholic Action groups throughout the world. They serve to emphasize the kerygmatic approach to doc trine and aid in introducing congregations to parts of the Bible not often read in other servics or at Mass.

The propos~, in the form of a city charter amendment, would have established a fund under the city government out of which tuition - initially about $50 a year - would have been paid direcUy to the public or private school selected py a child's parents. Sponsor of the proposed amendment was the local unit of Citizens for Educational Freedom which helped form 'the Wickliffe Parents for Educa tional Freedom - composed of CEF members and others - to back the proposal.· Following the measure's de feat (Dec. 3), the Civic League of Wickliffe, which opposed the amendment, called for formation of 'a clergy"';citizen committee to • study financial problems of ~ vate schools.

As things stand now, the whole community will benefit by what might be called an "exclusively Catholic Campaign." But we are not set on living apart from our neigh bors. We will welcome further contributions from our own people, having second thoughts, and from well-disposed neigh bors, especially those in the higher echelon of our economy. It will cost at least two and three-quarters million to bring our school to completion. So there is room for additional giv ing.

Major Seminary at· Attleboro Fits Young Men For Worldwide Service as LaSalette Priests The Missionaries of LaSalette are active in the Fall River Diocese - and all over the world. Numbering more than 1,000 priests and brothers, they are found on every conti nent. A powerhouse of their apostolate is found in LaSalette Seminary, Attleboro, where young men are fitted to carry on the missionary work of this French- founded commu nity. There a 300 - room eign land6 and preach the a LaSalette priest or brother . former mansion is full to Gospel. may write to the seminary at bursting with seminarians A boy may enter LaSalette Enfield, N. H. or communicate and their activities, ranging after completing eighth grade, with Father Superior, LaSalette from earn.est study to lightheart ed recreation. The story of LaSalette began in 1846 with an apparition of Our Lady to two children near the town of Salette in France. The Virgin bade the children warn mankind of the need for repentance and turning to God, manifesting herself to them in the famous "Weeping Virgin" attitude.Today's Missionaries of LaSalette have assumed respon. sibility for spreading this warn ing. . Since 1942 The community came to Attle boro in 1942 and acquired prop erty in East Brewster in 1945. There the provincial house and college department of the sem inary are located and from there the new parish of Our Lady of the Cape, serving Brewster, Dennis and Pleasant' Lake, is staffed. At Attleboro the famous shrine of LaSalette is operated on the same grounds as the sem inary, although the seminarians have very little direct connec tion with shrine activities. Thou sands make pilgrimages to the shrine, however, particularly at this season when a spectacular Christmas illumination nightly turns the grounds into a blaze of light. At the seminary a printing press is kept busy by a LaSalette brother, mostly in issuing prayer cards, leaflets and vocational books. And seminary priests serve .many area parishes on weekends. in addition to carrying on teach ing duties during the. week. It adds up to a busy life for the missionaries who "8ta'yhome'? tel prepare others ~go to for~

say the seminary priests. High school courses can be taken at a minor seminary in Enfield, N. H., then two years of college follow at East . Brewster. Candidates spend a year of novitiate at Cen ter Harbor, N. H. then have six years of 'training at the Attle boro major seminary. Candidates for the LaSalette brotherhood are postulants at any LaSalette house, make a year's novitiate at Center Har. bor, then receive assignments. Distinguishing feature of the LaSalette habit is the cross worn at the waist, bearing two instru ments of the passion in addition to the corpus. It reproduces a cross worn by Our Lady during the 1846 apparition. The world-wide nature of .the LaSalette apostolate is dramat ically illustrated by a world map in the entrance hall of the sem inary. ~t the touch of a switch lights glow on every continent, each symbolic of a parish or mis sion operated by the community.

By Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. In the course of each school year, Catholic high schools and colleges, and some elementary schools too, set a..'1ide three days for the annual retreat.

m general, teen-agers: do>- a lQGttiob of'trying;to get.aU they ean. out of' a retreat, with· the e;x:eeption, of course, of the inev Itable two or three clods the law of averages. imposes. on any ll'Oup. Preoious Da;r.s The only surprising thing. about their presence in this: case' !rom all teen-agers. YoU' also. is that you expect better sense eometimes w{)nder why the 99.9. per cent of sinc,ere teeners are' willing even to tolerate these' 1!ew spoiled kids. Look on this retreat as just another three days, only with oU't classes, and you lose the most precious three days of your lIChool year. Neglect these days. Ja fact, and you may well be' passing up the grace of your salvation or perhaps the grace 110 know your vocation in life. It's frightening, in fact, to oontemplate what enormous and necessary gifts can be missed by lIOmeone who hasn't the mini mum character required to give God all this time - three- days: out of 365, about III hours out of 8760 hours in a. year. Take Time Out A retreat is nothing more nor Jess. than a "time-out," much like tile' time-out in games. Many' ll; game has been lost, in fact. be~ cause some knuckle-head didn't bave sense enough to caU: for :ll time-out - to help. the' team t(» eatch its breath, to see what 1I1ey're doing wrong, and to plan, positive strategy to do better. It's certainly possible; too.. in fact quite probable, that there' have been souls lost because' IIOmeone was too. stupid to take time out to think. Sometimes, the younger kids: in a school and even, OIL occa. aion, some of the ancient seniors;. seem to consider a lietreat a sort of corporate endurance contest,. where the purpose is to. see· how' long they can keep from talking; And, of course, this. isn~t the Idea at all The silence' of :ll re~ treat hair a Ver'y,l definite-purpose aince it is the prime- and indis pensable requisite- fOJ: thought and prayer.

For Planning Strategy The retreat is a time to. ex plore your purpose in life,. to see where you're going. and' why,. and how you're supposecllto. be, getting there. It is a time of thought and prayer, a time when each one s1-tould ask him self, "If 1 should lose my soul

sible that someone reading this column now might ha¥e at one time or other deserved to be in hell. In that case, a pertinent question might be "Home come I g,et this. chance?" How come I'm not in hell right now?" A retreat isn't just negative, though. It'g also a· time for planning poaitive strategy, for figuring out the details of the way of life that is necessary or best for you to save yOU'r soul. Special Fa-vor. It's easy to see that a retreat is a time, not just of ordinary' graces, but of very extraordinary ones indeed, of special graces that Christ will ~t. you to account for some da.y. You're not going tO'sound very convincing, even to yourself, if you have to tell Him then that you did have' the opportunity of making U'IDpteen retreats, but that you thought your ooy-friend or girl-friend had something more interesting to talk about than He had at that. time. Lots of people never get a chance like this. So what did you do to deserve this grace? How come God gives you more favors than He gives some others? It could be - in fact, it seems to be - that, for some reason known only to Him, He loves you more than He does these others. How come? What tre mendous favors have you done for Him that you deserve special favors like this? ·God and You Only God is important during a retreat - God and you, that is, because although it's true that without Him you can do nothing, it's also true that He can't do anything with regard to your salvation without you. He did die on a Cross for you,' true, but you have to make use of that enOrm{lU9 Sacrifice be fore it will be applied to you. The retreat is there to be used, too - but you have to do the using. You often hear teen-agel's talking about their retreats, and sometimes you'll hear one ask the other, "How was your re~ treat?" The answers g{) all the way from "He was real good" down to "He- was lousy." But the pronouns are all f{luled up. n isn't ''he'' who was g<lod or lousy. Only you make a retreat, or waste it, or even do the devil's job for him and ruin it for others. So "he" isn't good or lousy in a retreat. YOU' are. Just as you are going to be at the day of judgment' - good or lousy. III...........

BOSTON (NC)-The telephone and Richard Cardinal Cushing answered. The familiar voice at the other end of the wire said: "You are now in the television business." The ca'l came from President Kennedy shortly before his as sassination. The Chief Executive disclosed he had sold the rigllts to his book, "Profues in Cour age," to a TV network and pro vided that the proceeds go to Cardinal Cushing for his works in the Boston archdiocese. . Relating the story to members of S1. John of Damascus Syrian Orthodox Church here, the Cardinal said, he would like to write. the final "profile" as. an "addendum" to the book. "I would be very pleased> to ten of my beloved friend, John: F. Kennedy," the Cardinal said. "':r:he President ditln't govern

"The Mind of the Catholi<:

Layman" by Daniel Callahan (Scribners, $3.95) is an absor·· b~ngly interesting history of the "coming of age" of the Ameri·· can Catholic. The place of the laity in the church is traced irom colonial days to the present. The author is an associate edi·· tor of Commonweal, a maga-· zirw that itself illustrates the important place lay opinion holds in today's Catholic world.

Popes, Council Continued from Page Ten From solemn studies of thE! Council, one turns to "Priest in the Piazza" for impish sidelights. "I never laughed so much or cricd so much or prayed so much" confides Father Basset, going on to initiate the reader into his Rome, a city full ol! jolly Bishops, invincible nuns and pavement theologians. He is particularly fond of tiw American bishops, saying "ThE~ United States bishops, bland, hygienic, drip-dry, look almos1t too clean for the Catholil: Church. You could, I believe pick them without error in an:): Conciliar identity parade. Amer.. i~an bishops talk to anyone, ltsten to anyone, welcome any·. one with Christian kindness all their only end. With rare but obvious exceptions, American bishops are lHlt Latin scholars not even authors, orators OJ: journalists. They .are deepl)" Roman, but without a mincing and painful veneer. What they never say in public - and only with modestry when they an, in private - is that they have, never lost the link between clergy and people which, in, some other countries, is weariol!: so very thin. They never say' that while priestly vocations are, desperately few in "3Ome other' countries, their American semi-· naries are splitting at the seams. No, they just say 'you're wel-· come,' and send their young men to work for Our Lord without payment in every part of the world." Tw~ POpCII

"A Man Named John" (Haw toorn, $4.95) is the contribution .f Alden Hatch to the crowded shelf of biographies ~f John XXIII, while "Apostle for Our' Time: ·Pope Paul VI" (Kenedy, $4.95) is a biogr.aphy of the reigning pontiff by Rev.

court, Brace &; World, $4.95), a truly refreshing study of East ern and Western spirituality, with the suggestion that the two may meet at the spirit's center." Dom Aelred, headmaster of Portsmouth Priory, is a wise

guide to this confrontation and

his Benedictine s p i r i t u a lit y seems especially suitable to the task of fusing the insight of East and West. More traditional s p i r i t u a I reading is found in "Approaches to the Cross" by Canon Jacques Lec1erck (Macmillan, $2.50). The problem of suffering is con sidered and the authqr has pro duced some notably wise pages on the problems and rewards of growing old. "And There Was Light" by Jacques L u sse y ran (Little, Brown, $5.75) is the story of a blind man, a leader in the French underground during World War II and now a professor at West ern Reserve University in Cleve land. It is a triumphant affirma tion of the power of the spirit to triumph over the worst of physical abuse. "It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness" is not an original thought of Father James Keller, founder of the Christophel'S, but he has made it hi-s through years of patient insistence that the little actions of ordinary men are everlasting ly important. In "To Light a Candle" (Doubleday, $'4.50) he tells the story ·of his life, and ex plains how he has developed the Christophers from a shoestring to an organization touching and influencing the lives of millions.

But it emerges as a sad, sad tale of a shell Catholic everything on the outside, nothing inside. To read it at Christmas tim~ will !thow you what Christmas is like with out Christ - and it will leave you thinking.

The correspondent asked also if Catholics had shown sympathy

for the Buddhists. Gen. Minh answered: "There have been numerous marks of sympathy on the part of Catholics for Buddhists.

Antioch: Where The Divine Liturgies Began Antioch merits the title of mother of many Liturgies.

PALESTINE REFUGEES The plight of these persons ia pitiful. For sixteen years, 1hC7' have hild to live in camps, leaving behind their homes, fa~ and jobs. The Holy Father has given us the task of watchinc over them in his name. We think of a poem by Cardinal Spell man: Somewhere-the place it matiers not4omewt,ere I saw a child, hungry and thin of fac~ . Eyes in whose pools, life's joys no longer stirred. Lips that were dead to laughter's eager kiss, Yet parted fiercely to a, crust of bread. A FOOD PACKAGE, costing $10 will feed a child and Ilk family for' a month.
