Speaking from the Vatican onChristmas, Pope Benedict XVI

warned that the world was headingtowards ruin if selfishness were to pre-vail over solidarity during tough eco-nomic times for rich and poor nations.If people look only to their own inter-ests, our world will certainly fallapart, he told tens of thousands ofworshippers gathered in St. PetersSquare.

This issue of XMN seeks to sharesome extraordinary efforts in selfless-ness and a deep, ardent desire to shareJesus Christ with the world. Some con-temporary challenges to our work inJapan, celebrating faith among youngadults in the USA, a unique way to actin solidarity with Africa, and more areways to pray and celebrate the culturaldiversity of the American CatholicChurch. All of these are exceptionalacts of solidarity.

John Paul II said: Peoples every-where, open the doors to Christ! HisGospel in no way detracts from thehuman persons freedom, from therespect that is owed to every cultureand to whatever is good in each reli-gion. By accepting Christ, you openyourselves to the definitive Word ofGod, to the One in whom God hasmade himself fully known and hasshown us the path to himself. U

The Xaverian Missionaries arrived inJapan in the Fall of 1949. Ever since,we have worked in about 25 centers, givingwitness, proclaiming the Good News ofJesus Christ to non-Christians, providing dia-

logue and charity. Our area of activity isquite extensive indeed. Some teach inUniversities, while others are involved inschools for children; some assist the sickand lepers, while others direct parishes.Some are engaged in dialogue withBuddhists, while others are respected fortheir artistic contribution.

The priorities in our missionary work arecollaboration with the local dioceses wherewe work, education, grounding faith in theJapanese culture, and dialogue with

Buddhism. At the present time, these goalscan be summed up as follows:

We are committed to the growth of thelocal Church: to its becoming a more mis-sion-oriented Church. We cooperate with allpeoples in dealing with the most urgenthuman and social problems, giving our owncontribution to bringing faith to theJapanese people.

We educate preschool children, highschool and University students in the valuesof the Gospel. Our educational criteria,methods and goals are inspired by clearlydefined spiritual values. We are particularlyinvolved in a qualified dialogue with

Buddhism, in the form of mutual knowledgeand cooperation in activities.

Today we are 39 Xaverian Fathers and 16Xaverian Sisters serving in Japan. In thelocal Church we have been entrusted withthe care of 25 faith communities, some ofwhich have nursery schools attached.

Fr. Franco Sottocornola, one of our mis-sionaries in Japan recently has answeredthis question:

wt m Jp?

Japan is a leading economy in the worldIt goes against the idea that missionariesjust go to poor countries to alleviate suffer-ing, addressing the problems of hunger,combating poverty, relieving situations ofsocial injustice. All this is true. The mission-ary, continuing the mission of Jesus, iscalled to do this. He must start from theproclamation of Christs compassion through

his life in order to be a credible andauthentic sign of Gods Kingdom.

Here in Japan, although most peo-ple are not poor economically, theyhave another kind of poverty. This pov-erty is a life lived without God and hisSon, Jesus Christ. The Scripture remindsus: man doesnot live by breadalone, but by

every word thatcomes from God(Mt 4:4).

There aretwo incidences inthe gospels thathelp us under-stand this. Thefirst is theSamaritanwoman whocame to the well

to draw water.However, through further probing withJesus, she discovers that she is thirstyfor a water much more significant thanH2O. ... There she finds that Jesusspeaks of more than just water: If youknew the gift of God and who it is thatasks you for a drink, you would haveasked him and he would have given youliving water. (Jn 4:10).

The other incident is when crowdswho followed Jesus became so takenwith him that they thought to acclaimhim king. They thought this in partbecause they saw him multiply breadand fish and feed a crowd of five thou-sand men. However, he begins to talk to

them about anew food,which is in facthimself, and

Jesus says: Itell you thetruth, you arelooking for me,not becauseyou saw mirac-ulous signs butbecause youate the loavesand had yourfill. Do notwork for foodthat spoils, but

for food thatendures to eternal life, which the Son ofMan will give you. (Jn 6, 26-27).

The real task of the Missionary inJapan is to its 128 million inhabitantswhere fewer than one million are actu-ally Christian. Few have known Christand have found in him the water well-ing up to eternal life, the bread thatgives life to the world. Japan, there-

fore, needs missionaries, sharers of theGood News that God so loved theworld that He gave His Son.

In Japan, the mission of the Churchis restored to its original purpose and isindeed indispensable: to be salt of theearth and light the world (Mt 5,13-14) with preaching the gospel andthe prophetic witness of its faithful.

Thats why we want missionaries inJapan, and in the whole world!

Jp n M M

According to a February 2005 reportof the Commission for Migrants,Refugees and People on the Move, forthe first time in history there are morethan one million Catholics living inJapan. More than half of them comefrom outside the country.

In an interview with Archbishop Jun

Ikenagaa, lamented that.. As Catholicswe have to appeal more to theJapanese mind. The Catholic Church inJapan is stagnating and growing old.

The number of foreign Catholics isgrowing with the influx of foreign work-ers, but the number of JapaneseCatholics has remained largelyunchanged over the last few decades.

At a conference, Archbishop Ikenagacalled on fellow Asian Churches to sendmissionaries to Japan and other placesin Asia where the local Church has fewvocations.

Foreign missioners working in hisarchdiocese, some 400 kilometerssouthwest of Tokyo, include membersof the Columban Fathers, Paris Foreign

Missions, Salesian and Xaverian ForeignMission Societies.

In the Archbishops analysis, the bigchallenge is changing the mind-set thatChristianity is a foreign religion inthis insular country. His call for Asianmissioners reflects his desire for theChurch to appeal to the Japanese mindin its evangelization efforts, ratherthan just import Western cultural prac-tices.

The reduced number of missionariescoming from places like the USA andEurope, the Church in Japan is callingfor missionaries where they are becom-ing more numerous, especially from

Asia. U

Fr. Carl Chudy, SX

In Japan Buddhist thought

runs deep. Lucky charms called

Omamori, (literally protectors)are said to work by being a decoy-

self (migawari) that attracts bad

luck. Hence, any impurity or bad

luck is collected in the charm in-

stead of in the person. The charm

is then thrown out.

The Daruma Buddha spent manyyears in a cave until his arms and

legs dropped off (hence the round-

ness of this gure)! But eventually

he reached enlightenment. These

little Daruma gures are used

to indicate hopes, goals or aspira-

tions. When one buys a daruma,

neither of the eyes is blacked in (as

in this picture). suggesting that one

has not yet set ones goal.

Xaveian Missinaies in the USA

On December 30th, 2009 January3rd, 2010, five Xaverians: Fr. CarlChudy, Fr. Victor Mosele,

Francois Noah, Tyler Hagan and I,attended the 2010 Fellowship ofCatholic University Students (FOCUS)

National Conference held at theMarriott World Center Resort inOrlando, Florida.

Briefly, FOCUS is a Catholic campusministry organization established in1997 and it holds a biannual nationalconference like the one we attended.This time, the Xaverians were privi-leged to be one of the sponsors for theevent and hence, to have a chance tointeract with the student attendeeswhich numbered more than 4000 col-

lege students from all across campusesin the United States. This was my firsttime to attend a FOCUS conference andit was a very positive experience. Hereare a few highlights from the confer-ence. As soon as we arrived at the con-ference, I was overwhelmed by thepresence of many students who wereobviously very enthusiastic about theconference and their faith. I was able

to meet many new friends from colleg-es nationwide and I was able to heartheir stories. In fact, it was veryencouraging to hear a number of stu-dents expressing their interest in pur-suing religious life.

I was also really thrilled to discoverthat my favorite Catholic artist, MattMaher and the band were at the con-ference. During their concert, I had achance to relive the praise and worshipexperience that I had in my undergrad-uate college years. Undoubtedly, MattMaher and his band really spiced up theevent, particularly during the New Yearcelebration. It was nice to be able toworship our God even with peoplewhom I did not even know.

All in all, it was an amazing 5-dayconference. As we drove back fromFlorida, I thanked the Lord for thegood experience, for the chance to berefreshed and renewed in faith in somany ways. U

The Catholic Bishops of the UnitedStates are beseeching American

Catholics, in our solidarity with theAfrican Church, to urge our representa-tives to help stop the violence in theDemocratic Republic of the Congo(DRC) by cosponsoring H.R. 4128, theConflict Minerals Trade Act, and ensur-ing that the bill moves forward quickly.

Eighty percent of the worlds coltanis found in the DRC. When coltan isrefined it becomes a heat resistantpowder that is a vital element in a vastarray of small electronic devices, espe-cially in mobile phones, laptop comput-ers, pagers, and other electronic devic-es. Local militias, backed by Uganda,Rwanda and mining multinationals, getsupplies of food, money, and militaryhardware in exchange for smuggled nat-ural resources.

In October 2003, a UN panel ofexperts released a report accusingRwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe of sys-tematically exploiting Congoleseresources and recommended theSecurity Council impose sanctions.Doubtless due to powerful political andeconomic interests, the UN never fol-lowed up on the reports recommenda-tions.

In a September 2005 resolution onconflict prevention, the SecurityCouncil acknowledged for the first timethe link between natural resources andarmed conflict, vowing to take actionagainst illegal exploitation and traffick-ing of natural resources, particularly inAfrica.

In January 2006, the Council tookone step further and adopted

Resolution 1653 on the dimensions ofpeace and security in the Great Lakesregion of Africa. The resolution calls onthe governments of DRC, as well as ofUganda, Rwanda, and Burundi to pro-mote lawful and transparent use of nat-ural resources among themselves and inthe region.

w ct mptt ?

The violent conflict in eastern DRChas killed more than five million people- most from malnutrition, disease, and

lack of access to health care - andforced more than 1.25 million peoplefrom their homes. Related to the con-flict, an estimated 400,000 women andgirls have been raped in eastern DRC inthe past ten years. Humanitarian assis-tance is vitally needed to support theDRCs victims of violence and displace-ment, but it is not enough. We mustalso address the causes of these con-flicts.

Much of the instability, displace-ment, conflict, and sexual violence inthe eastern DRC is financed by armed

groups control over lucrative minesand mineral trade routes. One of sev-eral such conflict minerals is coltan,a critical component for the productionof cell phones, laptops, and other elec-tronics. Much of the DRCs coltan isbeing illicitly mined in conflict zonesand illegally exported through neigh-boring countries. We can help the peo-ple of the DRC by reducing the use ofillicitly mined conflict minerals tofinance violence.

Cct MT act k tccmp?

This bipartisan billrequires those whoimport goods into theU.S. that contain tin,tungsten or tantalum(from coltan) to declareon their customs formswhether the metals intheir products are fromfacilities that process

minerals that financehuman rights abuses, or conflict min-erals. Products containing metals fromfacilities that do not process conflictminerals can be labeled as conflictmineral free, allowing consumers tochoose products that do not financehuman right abuses.

It also requires on-going documenta-tion of the links between mining andhuman rights violations in the region,including maps of mines and mineral

trading routes that finance conflict.

Finally, it promotes more humanitar-ian and development assistance foraffected communities in the DRC.Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and theUnited States Conference of CatholicBishops (USCCB) expressed in a recentletter to its principal cosponsors thatH.R. 4128 is an important step towardsimproving the lives of millions of peo-ple affected by horrific violence in the

eastern DRC. We believe that this billcan be strengthened by includingexpanded U.S. State Department

efforts towards a peaceful resolution ofthe conflict.

wt t v t t mCtc t?

Our Catholic faith calls on us touphold the life and dignity of thehuman person by alleviating human suf-fering and promoting justice and soli-darity worldwide. Therefore we mustwork to assure that the potential bene-fits of natural resource extraction are

realized. The Catholic Bishops of theDRC have identified conflict minerals asa critical issue and traveled to theUnited States to focus attention to thecauses of the crisis. Our Holy Father,Benedict XVI, stated in his encyclicalletter, Charity in Truth: The stockpil-ing of natural resources, which in manycases are found in the poor countriesthemselves, gives rise to exploitationand frequent conflicts between andwithin nations. These conflicts are

often fought on the soil of those samecountries, with a heavy toll of death,destruction and further decay. Theinternational community has an urgentduty to find institutional means of reg-ulating the exploitation of non-renew-

able resources U

Gods Grace Devotion to the Black Nazarene Daily Bread

May Pag-asa means to have hope.

But the gift is not like the trespass.

For if the many died by the trespass of

the one man, how much more did Gods

grace and the gift that came by the

grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,

overflow to the many!

Romans 5:15

ForI am convinced that neither

death nor life, neither angels nor

demons, neither the present nor

the future, nor any powers, neither

height nor depth, nor anything else in

all creation, will be able to separate us

from the love of God that is in Christ

Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38

Myfeet have closely followed his

steps; I have kept to his way without

turning aside. I have not departed from

the commands of his lips; I have trea-

sured the words of his mouth more

than my daily bread.U

Job 23:11-12

Forsurely I know the plans I have for you, says

the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm,

to give you a future with hope. Then when you

call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hearyou.When you search for me, you will find me; if

you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find

me...

Jaime says, Metro Manila is home to ten milliontexting (or twelve million if you count all those living

under bridges) people who collectively wake up, take a bath,consume water and commute to work everyday. We all live inthis continuously unplanned metropolis we both love andhate at the same time.

It is in this urban web that the artist brings images thatspeak of hope, struggle, and in that unwavering Filipino spir-it. We present some from scriptures of his works on the ordi-nary urban images of Manila together with a passage fromScripture that allows us to see with new eyes.

Renewing Hope,

Seeking Justice isthe theme of the 2010National Migration Week,held in the first week ofJanuary. The observancebegan over 25 years ago bythe bishops to be a momentfor Catholics to take stock ofthe wide diversity of theChurch and the ministriesserving them. As the face ofthe local churches continueto change, it becomes evenmore necessary to bring thismessage home to allCatholics. It provides animportant educational oppor-tunity that can be used byindividuals, families, schools,and parishes to learn aboutthe complex issues surround-ing the migration phenomena.

Following the lead of Pope

Benedict, who is focusing onMinor Migrants andRefugees for the 2010 WorldDay of Migrants and Refugees,the Church is focusing onmigrant children this year.

Additionally, the bishopsare launching a NationalMigration Week Small GrantsProgram that will providefunding for small projectsrelated to migrant or refugee

children, which are launchedby parishes, schools and localCatholic organizations. Incoordination with TheCatholic University ofAmerica, a new educationalwebsite will focus on theimportant role that theCatholic Church has played inthe immigration debatethroughout Twentieth CenturyAmerica.

Finally, we are highlightinga fantastic new curriculumthat was created byJesuitRefugee Services. We hope

that both educational siteswill be a great resource forteachers, directors of reli-gious education and othersinterested in this issue.

The care of immigrantsand refugees is one of theactivities that runs like agolden thread throughout thehistory of the collective con-cerns of the United StatesCatholic bishops. Today one

third of the refugees comingto this country are re-settledunder Catholic auspices,many of them Catholicsthemselves. In addition,approximately 43% of theimmigrants legally admittedare members of our Catholicfamily of faith. Care foraliens and newcomers,whether legal or not, is a fun-damental requirement of our

faith as demonstrated in theOld Testament, in the teach-ings of Christ himself and inthe Churchs social teaching.

Justice for immigrants, more-over, is an essential compo-nent of a culture of life, anethical demand in defense ofhuman life, especially when itis on the margin. U

A group of Brazilian Bishopshas rejected several pointsof the National Program onHuman Rights decreed byPresident Luiz Lula da Silva.The program on humanrights, implemented by theMinister in that area, PauloVanucci, provides for theestablishment of theNational Commission for the

Truth about the crimes ofthe dictatorship, some

aspects regarding conflictsover land, the decriminaliza-tion of abortion, and civilunions between homosexu-als. The program had alreadybeen questioned by somemilitary leaders who opposethe investigation of crimescommitted by the dictator-ship between 1964 and 1985.Moreover, the economicgroups linked to agriculturalproduction, have opposed

the initiative that includes27 bills that would be turnedinto law within the next 11months.

China

On December 30, 2009,Bishop Leo Yao Liang,Coadjutor Bishop of theDiocese of Siwantze (Chongli-Xiwanzi), Hebei Province(Mainland China), died at theage of 86. Ordained a prieston 1 August 1948, he workedas assistant pastor in severalparishes of the diocese untilhe was prevented from exer-cising his priestly ministryand was forced to earn a liv-

ing by growing vegetablesand selling firewood. In1956, he was sentenced toforced labor for refusing tojoin the movement for theCatholic Churchs indepen-dence from the Pope. Twoyears later he was imposedthe penalty of life imprison-ment for the same crime,namely the desire to remainfaithful to Supreme Pontiffand the Universal Church.

He was freed in 1984, afternearly thirty years in prison.

An invitation to all religiousleaders to engage in thesearch for peace and nation-al reconciliation has beenmade by the Bishops ofChad. Through the Synod ofBishops for Africa, webecame aware that reconciliation is a common task to beperformed with others forthe good of the country.Consequently, we, as Bishopsof Chad, call on all religious

leaders to engage in an hon-est search for ways andmeans to promote reconcili-ation and to ensure thatareas of civil debate are notconfused with areas of reli-gious debate, the Bishops ofChad said in their ChristmasMessage, which recognizesthe urgency of national rec-onciliation: Our recent his-tory teaches us that Chadhas not known a year of

calm since its independence(1960) has been made by theBishops of Chad.

It is a time to remember,a time to feel sad and atime to feel thankful,

and hopeful. This was howwe felt on Monday Dec. 212009 as we closed for thelast time the door of theChicago Theology on E.Hyde Park.

It is a time to remem-ber all the pleasant memo-ries that have been part of

our 36 years in Chicago. Itwas a day for me to remi-nisce about the yearsspent there; whether itwas learning and growingup, or teaching andremembering all that hap-pened there. To many ofus, students or formators,it had been a second home.

I remembered the facesof the many Xaverians whohave lived in these rooms,some spacious, some tiny,the gatherings with otherstudents and professors ofCTU, the celebrations ofPerpetual Vows, renewal,Founders and Patronsday, the various meetingsheld on the third floor inthose mixed-matchedcouches and chairs, or the

daily Masses and HolyHours on the second floor.

I thought of the variedways we celebrated andencouraged one another infollowing Christ who calledus all, the styles of wor-ship and liturgy expressedas various generations ofstudents came from differ-ent countries and shared

their richness in songs,Lectio Divina and inspiredhymns. I believe they wereexpressions of faith, withthe hope to having shareda sign of encouragementfor each other.

At the end of this jour-ney, and this adventurethat the Lord has allowedus to witness in thisProvince, we can offer our

prayer of Thanks for allthat was accomplished atthe Chicago Theology Itwas indeed a labor of love.And we pray for the futuresteps, with mustard seed-like hope in our hearts. U
