Fr. Gregory Baum To Speak
At Area Colleae, Feb. 21
Father Gergory Baum,
internationally known
theologian and author, will
be the first speaker in Our
Lady of the Lake College’s
spring lecture series.
Baum will speak an
OLL’s Thiry Auditorium mi
Friday, Feb. 21, at 8 p.m.
Admission is $1.50 and the
speech will be open to the
public.
While Baum is known
most widely for his leader-
ship in the ecumenical
movement, he is also an
ardent spokesman for
many phases of renewal in
the Catholic Church. He
speaks in terms of renewal
as transformation. "It
means dying a little bit to
the past and rising to a
new life.” His theology has
wide appeal for the layman
College,
because he tends to deal in
concrete terms rather than
in abstractions.
An Augustinian priest
since 1954, Baum’s person-
al life reads like a chapter
in ecumenism. He was
born in Berlin in 1923 of
agnostic Jewish parents,
raised as a nominal Protes-
tant, and converted to
Catholicism in 1946 while
attending a Baptist univer-
sity in Canada. He holds a
B.A. from McMaster Un-
iversity in Ontario and an
M.A. from Ohio University.
After joining the Augus-
tinian Order in 1947,
Baum continued his stud-
ies in Switzerland where
he earned a doctorate in
theology from the Univer-
sity of Fribourg in 1956.
He is presently professor of

lic Church at a Conference
of the World Churches in
Geneva.
In addition to his duties
as professor of theology,

University of Toronto’s
ies and edits its publica-
tion, The Ecumenist

Church and on the Church
in the Modern World and
on the Decree on Religious
Life. He is a frequent con-
tributor to Commonweal,
Catholic World, and other
religious journals.

Parish Provides Parents
Bi-Lingual CCD Classes
Corpus Christi - Parent Education classes in En-
glish and Spanish have been launched successfully at
Christ the King parish, under the auspices of the
CCD.
There have oecn 12J participants in the English
section and about 40 participants in the Spanish sec-
tion. The lively and enthusiastic discussions which fol-
low seem to indicate the interest of the parents in
helping their children.
The opening session was given b. Father Joseph
Bourque, who is head of Adult Education in the La-
fayette, Louisiana diocese. He stressed the importance
of parents having the primary respor.'ibility for edu-
cating their children in the faith.
Other sessions thus far have featured Bill Ehrhardt
on Family Life; Mrs. Irene Meany on Child Develop-
ment and Peter Irwin on Religious Education in the
Classroom.
Topics to be considered in future sessions are: the
Commandments, the Sacraments, Vocations, Mass and
the New Laws, the Bible.
Sister Lois Marie, I.S.N.D., director of the program,
extended an invitation to all. The meetings are held at
Centre of Ecumenical Stud- / 7:30 Pm- on Wednesdays at 3701 Ayers.
Sessions on the same topics in Spanish are conduct-
ed at Christ the King School, Rm. 13, on the same
I day and time.

'New, Eternal Covenant'
Non-Public School
Aid Bill Introduced
Hartford, Conn. — (NC)
— Four legislators have
introduced a bipartisan bill
in the Connecticut General
Assembly to provide finan-
cial help lo parents paying
tuition for children attend-
ing nonpublic schools.
But a spokesman for the
Connecticut Civil Liberties
Union indicated the organ-
ization would oppose pas-
sage of the bill and would
take it to the courts if it is
passed.

In the Gospel according
to Matthew (26:28) and
according to Mark (14:24)
at the Last Supper Jesus
says over the cup of wine,
"This is my blood, the
blood of the covenant.” In
the Gospel according to
Luke (22:19) and in the
First Epistle to the Corin-
thians (11:25) he says,
"This cup is the new
covenant in my blood.”
In the "institution narra-
tive” of all our eucharistic
prayers, the priest says as
he holds the chalice of
wine in his hands, "This is
the cup of my blood, the
blood of the new and ever-
lasting covenant.” A new
dimension is given to our
Mass when we understand
what this implies.
In ancient times a
covenant was a very im-
portant thing. It was an
agreement, yes, but it was
looked upon as an agree-
ment which went far be-
yond what a contract is
today.
Between the covenanting
parties it established a
relationship so close and so
binding that it was regard-
ed Sts giving rise to an ar-

declared, "I call you
friends” (Jn. 15:15). Like
the people gathered around
the base of Mt. Sinai, they
became God’s blood broth-
ers when his Son gr.ve
them his body to eat and
his blood to drink.
Every Mass is a renewal
of the Last Supper and is
therefore a renewal of the
"new and everlasting
covenant” established in
the blood of Jesus. It is
our occasion to enter per-
sonally into this covenant,
to become God’s friends,
his own blood brothers. We
are made members of the
covenant, people by our
baptism, but we accept the
covenant personally by our
participation in the Eucha-
rist.
All this is implied when
at Mass the priest says
over the chalice, "This is
the cup of my blood, the
blood of the new and ever-
lasting covenant.”

INTRODUCTION: Our first reading today is St. Paul’s
hymn to love, and our Gospel reading shows Jesus’ love
in promise and in action. In our common prayer we beg
his Father to make known his love for us and all men.
1 - That the Prince of Peace may relax tensions and
end hostilities, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
2 — That Christ’s Church may be the assembly of
those who love God and men in action as in word, we
pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
3 — That the love of God, which unites men of good
will, may make itself known in the unity prayed for by
Jesus, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
4 — That people may be able to say of all who take
part in our Eucharist today, "See how Christians love
one another,” we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
5 — (The pastor will insert petitions for needs of his
parish.)
6 — That the Faithful Departed, especially ..., may
et\joy the fullness of love with their Father in heaven,
we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAP, OUR PRAYER!
PRAYER: O God, we can love you and each other be-
cause you loved us first. Help us to grow in your love
and manifest it by mutual, practical charity for all men.
This we ask through your Son. our Lord Jesus Christ.
AMEN!

Revolution and Reconcili-
ation.” The goals of the
study week would be: a) to
assess the effectiveness of
Christian mission in a rap-
idly changing and increas-
ingly polarized society; and
b) to explore both the kin-
ship and the separateness
of Christians dedicated to
mission.
The program will concern
itself with the Mission of
the Church as it relates to
various power structures
within the Government,
the Church, the University
and Black Power. Speakers
who are invited from
various disciplines will be
asked to discuss how their
own faith commitment has
influenced their actions and
philosophy in relation to
power structures.
The week-long program
will include besides ma-
tins, lauds and separate
liturgical worship, lectures
and discussions, workshops
on drama, choir, films, and
other creative program-
ming as well as special
interest groups that relate
to the general theme:
"Mission: Revolution and
Reconciliation.”
The planning committee
for the proposed study
week consists of four Lu-
theran students; Doug
Anderson, Becky Schmidt,
Ron Bohlander, and Pame-
la Schuldt; and four Catho-
lic students: Dick Hister,
Linda Schmatz, Bob Van
Lanen, and Joan Kaiser, in
addition to the Lutheran
and Catholic Chaplains at
the University of Colorado,
Rev. Gordon Ward, Rev.
Gerhard Muntinger, Father
Charles Forsyth and Sister
Conleth Clayton, O.S.F.,
and national Lutheran and
Catholic staff persons: Rev.
Don Hetzler, Chicago, 111.;
Rev. Charles Born, Austin,
Texas; and Father John
McDonough, Washington,
DC.
thiB is told in the Book of
Exodus, Chapters 19, 20,
and 24.
Between God and the
people as a whole the
covenant is solemnized by
the sprinkling of blood.
Half of the sacrificed ani-
mals’ blood is poured on
the altar while the other
half is sprinkled on the
people. As it were, God
and his people become
blood brothers.
Between God and the
people’s leaders who repre-
sent them the covenant is
solemnized by a ritual
meal. As it were, God
shows his friendship for
his people by sharing a
meal with them.
On his part, God could
never prove false to the
covenant. The same thing
is not true of the people.
Hardly had the agreement
been entered into when the
people broke it by adoring
the golden calf (Ex. 32).
Yet God in his goodness
renews his covenant with
his people (Ex. 34).
This covenant was for all
generations. Those who
made it at Mt. Sinai broke
it by their sins and had to
renew their acceptance of
it, while members of suc-
ceeding generations,
though members of the
covenant people by circum-
cision, had to accept it for
themselves. This they did
each year at the Passover.
The high priest renewed it
for the people as a whole
when he went into the
holy of holies to offer God
the blood ol sacrificial vic-
tims. The people renewed
it for themselves when
they took part in the pas-
chal meal.
The covenant of Sinai,
though of its nature per-
petual, was only a prepara-
tion for a "new and ever-
lasting covenant” foreseen
by the prophets (e.g., Jer.
31:31-34; Ez. 16:59-63).
Participation in it would
not be as exclusive as par-
ticipation in the original
covenant, and its observ-
ance would be more inter-
nal.
This "new and everlast-
ing covenant” Jesus es-
tablished with his people
at the Last Supper. The
paschal meal which Jesus
celebrated with his apos-
tles was the fulfillment of
the promise contained in
all the paschal meals of
preceding centuries. It was
the Passover Sacrifice of
the true Lamb of God,
foreshadowed by all pas-
chal lambs since those first
eaten in Egypt.
Like the elders of the
Hebrew people on Mt. Sin-
ai, the apostles shared a
common meal with God in
the person of his Son made
man, at which he expressly
