Labor Backs BanOn Making LoansTo South Africa
NEW YORK (NC) - Fifteenlabor leaders have backedchurch and other efforts to discourage U.S. banks from making loans to South Africa.
In a statement released by theInterfaith Center on CorporateResponsibility (ICCR), the laborleaders called upon Citibank,Manufacturers Hanover Trust,Morgan Guaranty, Chase Manhattan, Continental Ulinois, FirstChicago and Bank of America to"cease immediately all furtherloans to the South African government or its agencies."
The labor leaders said they deplored "the current situation inSouth Afirca where the racistsystem of apartheid exploitsblack workers and their familiesthrough legislation that deniesthem the right to organize, tocollectively bargain and strike,the right to vote, right to land,and forces the majority of thepopulation Jnto inhuman working conditions."
They endorsed efforts by theICCR, representatives of theblack community and the UnitedNations to encourage the banks"to develop a policy that willprohibit further loans to SouthAfrica until apartheid is ended."
The ICCR is a group of 150Catholic religious orders and 14Protestant denominations founded in 1970.

In a historic and moving ceremony, the Parish Church of St.Elizabeth Seton in North Falmouth was dedicated last Sunday afternoon by His Excellency, Archbishop Jean Jadot,Apostolic Delegate in theUnited States.
The meaning of this specialday was indeed enhanced bythe presence of the Archbishop,visiting the diocese for thefirst time. It was also the firsttime that the new liturgicalrite of solemn dedication of achurch was used in the diocese.
Archbishop Jadot was theprincipal celebrant of the Mass,together with Bishop Cronin,and Father Joseph Powers, pastor of the new parish. In addition, over 60 priests of the di-ocese and summer .visitors joined in this joyful expression ofGod's work in this diocese.Bishop Cronin was homilist forthe Mass (the complete text ofhis dedicatory homily appears on page 3).
,In his address of welcomeFather Powers expressed thejoy all felt at having the Apostolic Delegate celebrate thismemorable day with the peopleof St.· Elizabeth Seton Parish.After reflecting on the historicmeaning of the day, the pas-
tor expressed his gratitude toall who made it possible, especi,ally the dedicated parishioners.
Then, in a formal ceremonyhe presented the plan for thechurch, the list of workers whobuilt it and its keys to theApostolic Delegate representing Pope Paul VI and throughhim to the Ordinary of our diocese, Bishop Cronin.

religious community which shefounded, inspiring and strengthening all with her heroic sanctity, Saint Elizabeth Seton became a wonderful reflection ofChrist, a true model for all ofus.
How appropriate it is thatthese rites of dedication of anew house of worship for anew parish community be conducted under the patronage ofa new saint! Though proclaimeda saint only recently, ElizabthSE:ton manifested in her life asanctity and a holiness as VE!D
crable as the mystery of theChurch itself, whose divine origins we have been today contemplating.
Venerable, and yet ever new,ever vital, ever vibrant. The veryrites of dedication themselvesspeak to us of the vibrancy ofthe Church. By happy privilegeaccorded to us, we are utilizingtoday a new rite; the Churchof Saint Elizabeth Seton isamong the very first churches tobe dedicated in accord withthis new ritual.
Many, many people have contributed to the joy of this occasion. I wish first and foremost to compliment your Pastor, Father Powers, and to express to him and to his worthyassociate, Father Wiseman, myprofound gratitude. I know howdiligently Father ·Powelrs haslabored to provide for the pastoral care of souls in this newparish.
From the very beginning ofh~s pastorate at the venerableParish of Saint Joseph in WoodsHole, Father Powers, recognizing and understanding the needsof the residents of the NorthFalmouth area, began to developplans for a new church. Withzeal and determination, FatherPowers has provided that pastorally sensitive leadership need-

temple of God . . . the Spiritof God dwells within you . . .the temple of God is holy andyou are that temple." (l Cor. 3)
Recall his words to the Christian community of Ephesus:"You are fellow citizens of thesaints and members of thehousehold of God. You form abuilding which rises on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the capstone. ThroughHim, the whole structure is fitted together and takes shapeas a holy temple in the Lord;in Him~ you are built into thistemple, to become a dwellingplace for the Lord in the Spirit."(Eph 2)
This then is the Church. Thebeautiful structure which wededicated today should be apowerful reminder to us of themystery of the Church. This isthe sacred place in which wegather as God's holy people;through our encounter with theLord, whose presence is here,we are continually being formed into that holy temple, thatbuilding which is Christ cometo full stature.
This new Church of SaintElizabeth Seton, attractive,functional and comfortable, hasbeen designed to proViide a fitting place of worship within thecultural and architectural characteristics of colonial Americaand Cape Cod.
The new church does not violate the natural beauty of itsenvironment, :but rather enhances it. It is, therefore, acontribution to the communityof which all local citizens canbe justifiably proud.
It is most fitting that thisChurch be dedicated under thepatronage of Saint ElizabethSeton, our first native-bornAmerican saint, a woman ofnoble and heroic sanctity, awoman who can most appropriately be called a type of whatthe Church is and continuallystrives to be.
Our Holy Father Pope PaulVI has only recently made thesolemn declaration of canonization of Saint Elizabeth Seton.Gentle,competent and holywoman that she was, ElizabethSeton became a "school of theGospel," instructing others inthe Faith by her teaching andher example.
In her own home and in the

faithful, our sentiments of affection, loyalty and obedience.
We proudly reaffirm our recognition of his unique positionas successor of Saint Peter andVicar of Christ on earth. Weare grateful for his forthrightleadership, his pastoral zealand care for all the Churchesand for his courageous and clearteaching in so many difficultand sensitive points of faithand morals. Please assure HisHoliness that our loyal and instinctive adherence to his authoritative teaching and directives is supported likewise byour prayerful remembrance ofhis intentions always.
As we ponder the mystery ofthe Church today, we are reminded of the divine origins ofthat very mystery. Founded bythe Lord Himself, the Church isimbued with His abiding presence and has ben given themission of evangelization, thatthe Gospel may be announcedto all peoples. We cannot helpbut be reminded that the "Faithof the Apostles, the "GoodNews" preached by Jesus, continues to thrive and spread inour midst today.
This is precisely what hasprompted the dedication of thisgrand Church. This occasionproclaims to one and all thata people, formed and foundedin a unity of Faith which reflects the unity' of Father, Sonand Holy Spirit, is growing vibrantly in this portion of theLord's Vineyard; a Christianpeople, whose living faith powerfully witnesses to the valuescontained in the Gospel, isflourishing here! The dedicationof this noble house of worshipis wonderful testimony to thefact that the Church continuesto be marked by steady growth.
Oftentimes, the Church iscalled the "building of God."However, this identification ofthe Church as God's buildingdoes not imply that it is something static and lifeless-merewood and stone. Rather, it powerfully identifies the Church asvital and alive.
Saint Paul, in his various let·ters to the Christian communities of his day, stressed againand again that the Church wasindeed God's building, His creation. Recall his message to theChristians of Corinth: "You arehis building . . . you are the
BishoplsWe come today to dedi
cate in solemn yet festiverites this impressive Church[)f Saint Elizabeth Seton tothe lasting' service of Almighty God, Father, Son andHoly Spirit.
This Church will today be setaside forever as a "house ofprayer," - an abode of Godwhere His holy people, sensingin faith the mysterious presenceof their Lord, will lift theirminds and hearts to Him inprayer, saying individually andas a community: "Speak, Lord,your servant is listening." (1Sam. 3)
Through. 'these sacred rites,this Church will be dedicated asa noble "temple of worship"in which the Sacrifice of theCross will be renewed and offered continually on behalf ofthe People of God, through theministry of the priests, by thepower of the Holy Spirit, to theglory of God the Father.
Saint Elizabeth Seton Church,from this day forth, will serveas a "school of the Gospel."Christ the Teacher, throughHis Holy Word which will beproclaimed and preached here,will speak to His people of Hislove and His commandments.And through the religious education programs that will beprovided, the People of God willbe formed in the Gospel so thatthey may faithfully walk in theways of the Lord.
In a very real way, thisChurch will today become a"home" in which the Lord'sfamily will be nourished andstrengthened often, at the Lord'sown table, on food which theLord Himself will give: the Bodyand Blood of Christ His Son.Through their sharing in thisEucharistic Food, the faithfulwill more and more grow in theimage of the Son of God sothat Jesus may become "thefirstborn of many brothers."(Romans 8)
However, added spiritual joysurrounds this blessed occasionbeca·use of the presence in ourmidst of His Excellency, theMost Reverend Jean Jadot, Apostolic Delegate in the UnitedStates and personal representative of our Holy Father PopePaul VI. It is my happy privilegeto welcome Archbishop Jadotto the Diocese' of Fall River.

Cardinal Is CriticalBOSTON (NC) - Cardinal
Humberto Medeiros of Bostonhas criticized Iboth the traditionalist rebellion of French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and arecent study on human sexual-'ity, calling them "two apparently dissimilar but essentially related incidents which have disturbed the peace of the CatholicChurch."
In a pastoral letter in ThePilot, Boston archidocesan newspaper, the cardinal said he feltobliged to comment on "theseirresponsible attacks on theChurch's teaching authority" because they "have had the effectof weakening the allegiance infaith owed by Catholics to theHoly Father, and to the structure through which he choosesto lead, teach and govern."

"There is a basic difference,"the court said, "between directstate interference with a protected activity and state encouragement of an alternative activityconsonant with public policy."
Fifteen states and the U.S.Congress have passed laws prohibiting the use of Medicaid forabortions which are not medically necessary. On a practicallevel, the Court's decision willresult in battles in state and federal legislatures over whetherthose legislatures should exercise their option to fund nontherapeutic abortions and overwhat constitutes medical necessity. There will also probablybe an increase in private abortion clinics.
But the real impact of theCourt's decision may be muchmore intangible. Supporters ofpermissive abortion laws haveacted as angrily in response tothe Maher decision as opponents of such laws reacted to Roeand Doe. People's perceptionsof what an action, such as aCourt decision, means are oftenfar more important than theactions themselves.
Many people saw Roe and Doeas a moral judgment that abortion was sound public policy;now, many people see the Maherdecision as a moral judgmentthat it is not.
The Court appeared to understand this paradox in the emo·tional abortion issue, which isborne out by polls and legislative votes: just obout everyonewho opposes legal elective abortions also opposes the use ofgovernment money to pay forabortions, but not everyone whofavors legal abortions believesthe government should financeabortions.
The American people will toleratelegal abortions, but don'twant to encourage them, thecourt seems to be saying.
RulingIn Maher V. Roe, a case in
volving a Connecticut law toprohibit the use of Medicaidfunds for abortions that are not"medically necessary" (this includes "psychiatric necessity"),tile Court said "Roe did not declare an unqualified 'constitutional right to .an abortion' ...
"Rather, the right protects thewoman from unduly burdensomeinterference with her freedomto decide whether to terminateher pregnancy. It implies nolimitation on the authority of astate to make a value judgmentfavoring childbirth over abortionand to implement that judgmentby the allocation of publicfunds."

AbortionBy Jim Castelli
When the U.S. Supreme Courtruled that states are not required to pay for nontherapeutic abortions with Medicaidfunds and that public hospitalsdon't have to perform thoseabortions, it said, "Our conclusion signals no retreat" fromthe 1973 Roe and Doe decisionswhich held that the state cannot directly interfere with awoman's decision to have an abortion in the first two trimesters of pregnancy.
But the three dissenting justices - including Harry Blackmun, who wrote the Roe andDoe decisions - believe the decision was such a retreat.

Begin Begins the Beguine
This week the new prime minster of Israel begins hisdiplomatic dance along the banks of the Potomac. With hisvisit to President Carter, a new beginning marks the relationships between this nation and Israel. One wondersif this tripping the light fantastic will be enjoyable. It seemsfrom all reports that some one will step on someone else'stoes.
One should not be too surprised if and when thishappens. The reason for this obvious uneasiness existingbetween the two countries is Menahem Begin's hawklikehistory. Ever since he fought to establish the state ofIsrael, he has been what is referred to as a hard liner. Hispolitical philosophy is based on "divine right." Thus itwould seem that his position on the Palestinian questionand the hope for some international recognition of the cityof Jerusalem is only too obvious.
Mr. Begin would be opposed to any settlement of thePalestinian question that would involve a legal recognition of a sovereign state for these displaced persons. It ishis firm belief, in his own words, that a "Palestinian statethreatens the security of the civilian population and endangers the existence of the state of Israel." Seeminglyhis firm convictions in this matter are not open to anycompromise.
Any idea that Jerusalem would become an international city open to peoples of all faiths also seems to be aconcept doomed to face defeat in a Begin government. Hebelieves that "the right of the Jewish people to the landof Israel is eternal. Judea and Samaria shall not be re·linquished to foreign rule; between the sea and the Jordanthere will be Jewish sovereignty alone."
It is thus obvious that the new government of Israelhas little enthusiasm for solving the Palestinian and Jerusalem questions as outlined by the United Nations resolvewhich, in fact, is all but ignored.
However, there are sti.11 people who have a deep andabiding concern for the millions of Arabs and their familieswho were displaced by the creation of the state of Israel.For example, the Catholic Near East Welfare Associationhas over the years been one of the few organizations thathas actively attempted to help these people in their refugeecamps. It has firmly upheld, in action, their human rights.
Peace will not come to the tired and bloodstained landof the Bible until Mr. Begin also begins to realize that thesearching question of human rights is not a selfish oneway street.
This is also true of his position on the city of Jerusalem. It is now a Jewish city. In fact, it is a city dear to thevery souls of Christianity and Mohammedanism. Yet theirfreedom of religious expression is limited by the controlsthat the· state of Israel imposes in its civil administrationof the Holy City.
Most Israelites would like the question of Jerusalemto be ignored. However, in the minds of millions of nonJewish people this subject is an integral part of any permanent peace settlement. For them it is also a question ofa basic human right to worship.
These reflections are not brought to the surface inthis editorial to further separate Jew and non-Jew. Theyare referred to in the hope that Mr. Begin will realize thatmUlions of non-Jewish Americans still believe that thequestion of the Palestinian peoples and the internationalization of Jerusalem must be faced and brought to a satisfactory settlement by the present and future governmentsof Israel. As Mr. Begin sits down this week to share hisviews with President Carter, it would be well if he keepsthis in mind.
'For all of us the complex questions of the Near Eastpose an international difficulty that is unfortunately partisan in spirit and biased in expression. Until the interestedparties begin to turn their swords into plowshares, thenall the talk and international visits will be mere diplomaticmaneuvering for public applause.

Monday morning the Apostolic Delegate offered Mass atthe South Dartmouth Monasteryof Discalced Carmelite Nuns, atrue sign of the Holy See's careand concern for the cloisteredorders of the Church. He thentraveled to Fall River wherehe visited the Cathedral of OurLady of the Assumption. Atnoon he met with the retiredBishops of the diocese, greetingBishop Connolly and BishopGerrard. Despite the heat of theday, he continued his scheduleby lunching with a large groupof Clergy and lay representatives of the diocese.
The diocese is not only grateful to Archbishop Jadot for hisvisitation but also the betterthat he shared with us his ownlove of the Church. His unobstrusive and gentle manner wasinfectious as he took the timeto greet people and priests. Hisvisit was indeed welcomed andbrought a dimension of representation that reminded us once

The North Falmouth ceremony was the highlight ofArchbishop Jadot's first visitto the diocese .during which hewas the house guest of BishopCronin. On Saturday morninghe visited the National Oceanographic Institute in WoodsHole and the historic church ofSt. Joseph's, from' which thenew parish was founded. Laterin the day he offered Mass atthe church of St. Pius, in SouthYarmouth. It was Pope Pius Xwho founded the diocese of FallRiver, the first diocese he established in the United States.

At the dedication it was nice tosee our transitional deacons fulfilling their proper liturgicalroles. Rev. Mr. Jon-Paul Gallant,and Rev. Mr. Normand Grenierwere chaplains to the ApostolicDelegate. Significantly, they arestudents at the Pontifical NorthAmerican College in Rome.
The window in the southtransept depicts St. ElizabethSeton receiving her vows fromBishop John Carroll, first U.S.Catholic Bishop. The setting forthis window is the seminarychapel of Paca Street, Baltimore,where priests of this dioceseworshiped as seminarians.
A comment should be madeon the beautiful windows' of theNorth Falmouth church, whichportray the history of the churchin that Cape Cod town, especially the window dedicated to'St. Joseph, which pictures thefamous Woods Hole bell tower.
In the sacristy there is a window dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, a reminder ofthe mission church that onceserved North Falmouth. In addition there are windows of St.Patrick and St. Anthony, paying tribute to the other parishesof Falmouth.
Archbishop Jadot was accompanied by a member of thestaff of' the Apostolic Delegation, the Very Rev. NicholasHalligan, O.P. who, it is interesting to note, is a native ofSacred Heart parish, Fall River.

While awaiting action by theSeekonk selectmen, the anticlinic ad hoc committee hasbeen meeting weekly. It ;includesmembers of St. Mary~s and OurLady of Mt. Carmel parishes inSeekonk, as well as of St. Stephen's in nearby Dodgeville andarea Episcopal churches.
The committee members sayif selectmen do not themselvesact on the by-laws amendment,they will present petitions tohave the matter placed on theagenda of a representative townmeeting scheduled for Sept. 12.It would then be voted on bythe town's 120 representatives,with a two-thirds majority of aquorum of 100 representativesneeded for passage.
Additionally, Father EdwardC. Duffy, pastor of St. Mary'ssince 1971, has been mountinga vigorous education campaignregarding abortion in generaland clinic opposition in particular, using his parish bulletin andSt. Mary's pulpit to clarify theunequivocal pro-life stand of theChurch.
The clinic issue was originally raised publicly June 22,when it was made known thatDr. Charles H. Mandell, an associate radiologist at UnionTruesdale Hospital in Fall River, had approached Seekonktown officials on the possibility of building such a facility.
Dr. Mandell has consistentlyrefused to comment on the opposition to his proposal, norhas he named any partners hemight have in the project. Father Duffy said, however, thatthe physician has been quotedas saying he chose Seekonk asa possible clinic site because hethought it a "very progressivecommunity with a sex education course in the high school."
Father Duffy said there is nosuch course at Seekonk HighSchool. He also noted that antiabortion "is not just a Catholicissue," pointing out that ninestates, including Massachusetts,have voted for a constitutionalconvention for the purpose ofadding a human life amendment to the U.S. constitution.

Question (ornerQ. Maybe you can tell me
what the theologians are tryingto do, destroy the Church? Asfar as I can see, all they are doing is undennining the faith ofgood people. (Ohio)
A. This considerably abbreviated comment was preceded byseveral other obviously rhetorical questions concerning current developments in theChurch. Most of the statementswere clearly not meant to behonest questions, and perhapsthis final comment wasn't really meant to be answered either.But its spirit is evident oftenenough in numberless lettersthat cross my desk.
Theology is a highly specialized and intricate science, andtheologians are nothing butspecialists in that field. Throughthe centuries, the Church hasdepended heavily on the research and writings of men likeSt. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas,St. Augustine, St. AlphonsusLiguori, and thousands of othergreat and lesser lights. Most ofthem, incidentally, were "prophets without honor" throughmuch of their own lifetime.
When I say the church hasdepended on them, I includebishops and popes. While theyare the official teaching bodyin the family of Christ, bishopsare rarely specially trained theologians.
Of its nature, theology is aspeculative, open - end science.Part of its business is to be atthe cutting edge of Catholicthought, as the Church's understanding of Jesus and His message develops through the ages.As with mothers, fathers, orpriests, there are' capable andless capable ones. A theologianmay be right or wrong or inbetween. His expertise may bein one field rather than another.Above all, his theories and opinions are only as good or as badas his reasons for them.
When anyone condemns orridicuies "the theologians,"therefore, I can't avoid thesuspicion that he has neverseriously studied what specifictheologians have to say on asubject, or he is seeking someone to blame for things hedoesn't understand or doesn'tapprove of.
Blanket blaming of parents,teenagers, intellectuals - ortheologians - for oUr discomforts and crises is a copout, andrarely contributes anything toward our understanding or thesearch for truth.
Q. Should we go to Confession to gain sanctifying grace,which we were taught we gainfrom this sacrament, or doesthe Penance Service replace going to Confession? Our catechism never mentioned penanceservices. (Del.)

Ghana Is GratefulACCRA (AIF) -- Sister Jane,
of the Missionary Sisters of theHoly Spirit ·(S.Sp.S.), was oneof three' expatriates recentlyhonoured with the Ghana National Award by President Ignatius Acheampong.
She has for 26 years workedwith a group of lepers, who atpresent number 55, with about100 children dependent on them,finding them food, clothing,medicines and soap and instructing those interested in theChurch.
our catechisms were written, isan increasingly popular rite. Itis simply a ceremony in whicha group of Catholics (or otherChristians) confess their sinfulness before God and each other,reflect on the meaning of theirsins with the help of Scriptureand meditation, and ask forgiveness for any offenses committed against God and theirfellow man.
From the catechism you mention, you will remember thatprayer and contrition of thiskind can forgive sins. However,this does not mean that such aservice (without sacramental absolution) replaces the Sacramentof Penance, which is a veryspecial way of meeting a forgiving God in a spirit of sorrowfor our sins, and a desire ofreconciliation with Him. Certainhealing, forgiving, and sanctifying graces are the fruit of thissacrament, which makes it different and unique among allPenance rites.
The sacrament of Penance isoften included within the kindsof common Penance servicesyou speak of, but such is notnecessarily the case.

whether we pray or not. But thisdoesn't mean that Jesus didn'tpromote prayer. He also taughtus to go alone to pray and notto make a public spectacle ofpraying ... which doesn't meanJesus was against people praying in groups. He tried to getHis friends to pray with Him inthe garden before His crucixion.
Furthermore Jesus told us thewords to use when we pray:"Our Father ..." And this doesnot mean that only these wordsare legitimate prayer. Recallhow central are the psalms inthe life of Jesus, expressions ofprayer which reveal every conceivable agony and ecstasy.
In search of a solution to. thisapparent conflict between prayer and service, a well-knownchurchman asked a very wisegrandmother who had risen alarge family how she was ableto do so much and still be aperson of prayer. She said:
"The person who is performing a valuable service is alwaysable to pray. The person who isof prayer is always ready andable to perform genuine l!ervice.And when the two enjoy thisblending, then one has neithera person of prayer nor of service, all of life is holy. That isthe important matter. Holiness.Neither prayer alone, nor service alone leads to holiness.There is no tension in the holypersons,"
What happened? Why did thesteam vaporize so quickly? Perhaps lack of preparation wasthe greatest reason. In somecases the experience was simplya guilt remover or some otherkind of escape. Maybe St. Vinvent De Paul would argue thatthe spiritual power which yieldslong-term commitment and motivation )Vas never there in mostcases. Who can say?
The story does have a moral.Not one that rebukes the well

When we think of a person involved in service to others, weusually see someone withoutmuch time for himself or herself. On the other hand, whenwe think of a person who prays,we usually see someone who isinactive, not terribly busy. Wetend not to see the involved person of service and the reflectiveperson of prayer as descriptiveof the same individual.
One often hears the activeperson say, "I wi!lh I had timeto pray." The person of prayer,on the other hand, we identifywith such remarks as, "I'll haveto pray over this," which leavesthe impression he won't do anything, at least not immediately,perhaps never.
These stereotypes impede understanding either service orprayer, or resolving the questions of how a person of servicecan also be prayerful or how theprayerful person can be of service.
We cannot resolve the tension between prayer and servicewith slogans, such as "My service is prayer." Or, "When I amat work, I am at prayer."
Jesus did teach us that Godknows what we need better thanwe do, and before we realizethe need ourselves. . . whichsuggests that one should get onwith life, and God will provide,

By .Father Alfred McBride
When St. Vincent de Paul wason his death bed, a novice asked him what was the secret ofChristian service? "My daughter," he replied, "you must learnhow to love the poor so theycan forgive you for the breadyou offer them." This perceptive comment of Vincent wasan effort to help the young Sister avoid the, pitfalls of selfrighteousness and patronizing inher works of social concern.
He might also have added thatlove, proceeding from a strongprayer life, is esseptial if thereis to be any long-range socialservice to the deprived. The late1960s witnessed an extraordinary rise in social consciousnessamong the well-fed Christianmiddle class. The result was aflood of volunteers for innercity work. Leaving traditionalforms 'of Catholic ministry suchas schools and hospitals, thenew legions of idealists pouredinto the grimy tenements, rat-infested alleys and trash-filledstreets where the poor of America live.
Their intentions were admirable and their enthusiasmwould match any crusader onthe way to rescue the HolyLand from the infidel. Chesterton, with the mighty beat ofhis ballads would have lovedto chronicle these armies of noble-spirited Christians, anxiousto prove that the fire of justiceand charity had not gone out insecular America, let alone in theChurch Catholic.
They joined in civil rightsmarchers, teachings on the Vietnam war, soup ladling in startled city mission kitchens, concerted action against banks thatredlined the poor, harassmentof absentee landlords and others all too ruthlessly present. .
They celebrated people'S Masses, sang spirituals, stood by theIndians at Wounded Knee andGresham, backed Marlon Branda's newly found social consciouness and Robert Redford'shopes for a protected environment. Windows shone, andfloors gleamed; wood sparkledwith new paint and undesirableinsects were shooed away asthese inheritors of middle-classsanitation scrubbed and cleanedthe hovels of the poor. A newday was dawning. Christianityhad a fresh enemy to defeatand loyal and persistant soldiersto prosecute the battle.
Or was it? Paciftsts had sung,"Where have all the flowersgone?" But now one could adaptthat poignant song to say,"Where have all the crusadersgone?" And so quickly at that.Barely seven years after the expectations had been raised, allwas eerily quiet on the innercity front.

Early believers in Jesus "devoted themselves to the apostles' instruction and the communal life, to the breaking ofbread and the prayers. . . Theywent to the temple area togethereveryday..." (Acts 2, 42; 46)..Our daily Mass goers reflect asimilar pattern in their lives.Thanks to the generosity of oneparishioner, they now are united more closely with the prayer of other Christians throughout the world.
with the preparation. of thegifts: After communion, thatcanticle of Zechariah ("Benedictus") or that of Mary ("Magnificat") is recited with its properantiphon depending upon thehour celebrated; the service concludes with the Post-Communion prayer and the dismissalrite of Mass.
Four publishers have produced authorized versions of"Christian Prayer": CatholicBook, Daughters of St. Paul,Helicon and Liturgical Press.Parishes would do well to examine each edition to judgewhich best 'serves their needs.
We link Mass and "ChristianPrayer" often, but not .always.It does not lengthen the week- .day liturgy significantly, yetprovides those who come regularly with a more varied andeven deeper worship experience.Moreover, it represents an attempt to fulfill ideals of Vatican II as expressed in article 27of the General Instruction:
"Whenever groups of the laity meet for prayer, apostolicwork, or some other religiousreason, they are encouraged totake part in the Church's officeby celebrating some of the Liturgy of the Hours."
LINCOLN
By Msgr. Joseph M. Champlin
We have country club hoursfor weekdays Masses at HolyFamily - 9:1.5 a.m. and 5:15p.m. Through experimentationwe discovered tt.s greatest number of people could participatein daily Eucharists with thatschedule.
The size of the communityfor those liturgies varies-from10 to 35. However, a solid coreof regulars appear each dayand often remind me of thefirst Christians. Acts 1, tells usthat the apostles "devotedthemselves to constant prayer."Moreover, they prayed, notalone, but together with "somewomen in their company, andMary the mother of Jesus, andHis brothers."
Six months ago one of ourparishioners was anxious to donate a gift for the church inmemory of her recently deceasedmother. The suggestion that wepurchase 20 copies of "ChristianPrayer," a one-volume text containing morning and eveningprayer from the Liturgy of theHours, won her immediate acceptance.
Upon their an'\val, an artisticparishioner designed an appropriate lI\emorial bookplate forthe inside of th.s official prayerbook. We then began to integrate these two parts of the divine office into our weekdayMasses.
The details are relatively simple: The celebrant begins Masswith the sign of the cross andgreeting; the psalms replace thepenitential rite; the openingprayer and scriptural readingsare taken from. that day's Mass;the general intercessions following the homily come from "Christian Prayer"; Mass resumes

Without LoveContinued from Page Twelve
meaning sincerity of those whotried and basically failed. Tohave tried is itself a recommendation of an interior and commendable idealism. No, the moral of the story is that enthusiasm is not enough to propelChristians into a major and significant commitment to a lifeof service to the poor and thedeprived. Enthusiasm is all rightfor a starter. But to it must beadded a deep spiritual life. Sentimental love of the poor won'tdo. Sound love based on disciplined contact with the HolySpirit is the inner power oneneeds in facing the admittedlyenormous demands of inner-citywork and other commitments tojustice.
A new call is needed today:one that is more sober but alsomore insistant and challenging.Jesus says that the measure ofour personal greatness is ourcapacity to serve the needy.Don't miss the chance.

LUCKENBACH, TEXAS
The only two things in life that make it worth livingIs guitars tuned good and firm-feeling women
I don't need my name in the marquee lightsI got my song and I got you with me tonight
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas, Waylon and Willieand the boys, This successful life we're living
got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys.Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newberry's
train songs and, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,"Out in Luckenbach, Texas, ain't nobody feeling no pain.
So, baby, let's sell your diamond ring, buy someboots and faded jeans and go away.
This coat and tie is choking me and in your .high society you cry all day.
We're busy keeping up with the Jones' four-car garage and we're stlD building on,
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.Written by Bobby Emmons and Chip Moran
Sung by Waylon JenninsgBaby Chick Music, Inc., B.M.I.
Many people hav:e an empty feeling when they finally reachthe top of their fields. One need only recall the sad story ofFreddie Prinz of "Chico and the Man."
Waylon Jennings, one of the giants in country music, givesus yet another insight into the life of someone dissatisfiedwith the diamond rings and four-car garages, someone whowants to leave it all to get back to the basics of love. Thistune made number one on the country charts and a strongshowing on the popular charts.
What it says is that happiness and sucess don't necessarilycome just because a person has a lot - "this successful lifewe're living got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys."Sometimes it's the simple things which can truly teach uswhat real wealth is all about.
Luckenbach, Texas may be a restful town but I really doubtthat "ain't nobody feeling no pain," because everybody everywhere experiences pain. It's not a place we should search forbut a space, an attitude which allows us to realize how happywe can be if we only recognize the wealth that always surrounds us.
The person who can count wealth in terms of the sun thatalways rises, the flowers that grace even the abandoned corner lot; and the children who always need playing with isclose to the richest that shall not perish or be taken away.Nor do we have to fight each other for such gifts. They arefree for us all - gifts from One who knows how to give thebest of His love. And His way of giving is basic to any kindof love.

•••duce them to mere didactic devices, to moralizing allegories.We will let their poetic powerwork within us.
The poetic power of the parable is the power of the event.Poetic means more than poetryas a literary genre. Poeticmeans creative.
Trust Jesus' Word
We must trust in the Para-'bles because Jesus spoke them.To trust in His word is the bedrock of our faith. He continually offers us new beginnings andthey are significant even whenthey end, for all things end.Every cause for justice is worthour best efforts. Every act ofreconciliation is worth it, evenwhen new- controversies anddivisions occur. Every resolution to do better is worth making, even if it is not alwayskept. Eventually we hope thatwe will all be brought to a newfaithfulness, to a new "courageto be."

the landlord in the Parable ofthe wicked husbandman, whoafter having sent his servants,sent his son. What Palestinianproperty owner living abroadwould be foolish enough to actlike this landlord?
Or what can we say aboutthe host in the parable of thegreat feast who looks for substitute guests in the streets?
What employer would paythe employees of the eleventhhour the same wages as thosehired first? At what village wedding has anyone slammed the
door on the frivolous maidenswho do not consider the future?Jesus wanted people to THINK!
Those who .exploited His name,for too many years ins-ultedthose who did try to think."Let me do all your thinkingfor you!"
The surprising strategy usedby Jesus in His discourses saysto us, "Let your imaginationsbe opened to new possibilities,"
,Looking at the parables as ata word addressed to our imagination rather than to our will,we shall not be tempted to re-
focus on youth•••by Cecilia Belanger
Why is it disquieting that theparables allow no translationin conceptual language? Perhapsat first glance some readers willthink there's weakness in thestory form. But on secondglance, it reveals uniquestrength.
The beauty of the parables isthat they are not one long discourse. There is a full range ofshort parables gathered togetherin the unifying form of the Gospel. This means that the prables make a whole, that we haveto understand each one in thelight of the other. The parablesmake sense togethe~
The challenge of rational theology is nowhere more obviousthan in the parable of the goodseed spoiled by the darnel sownamong the wheat. The farmer'sservants went to their masterand said, "Sir, was it not goodseed that you sowed in yourfield? Then where has the darnelcome .from?
Such is the question of thephilosopher when he discussestheoretically the so-called problem of evil. But the answer weget is itself metaphorical: "Thisis an enemy's doing,"
And you may come throughseveral kinds of theologies inagreement with that enigmaticanswer.
Obviously, the Parables teach,but ,not in an ordinary way.Maybe there is something inthem that we have overlooked.One finds them having something in commen with the proverbs Jesus used. The use ofparadox and hyperbole In suchaphorisms and antithetical formulae as: "Whoever seeks togain his life will lose it butwhoever, loses his life will preserve· it."
