Rich Parishes in Texas
To Aid Poor Neighbors
Houston — Bishop John
L. Morkovsky, apostolic
administrator of the
Galveston-Houston diocese,
has announced a plan for
rich parishes to share
funds and personnel with
poor ones.
IN A LETTER to pas
tors, the Bishop reminded
them that "a diocese is
truly the family of God”
and that "it is not Chris-
tian for parishes to go
their individual ways with-
out regard for the needs of
other parishes.”
Bishop Morkovsky said
he was adopting a propos-
al, made by the diocesan
Senate of Priests, which
would provide financial aid
and a sharing of personnel
for poorer parishes.
A board of three laymen
and three priests will be
appointed to direct the
program and to determine
which parishes will receive
help from the common
fund. "It is good to funnel
gifts from parishes, indi-
viduals, or organizations
into a common fund,” the
Bishop said. "Distribution
from this fund can then be
made in proportion to
needs.”
HE ASKED pastors to
seek the approval of their
parish councils and to join
the project by pledging
either a percentage of the
parish income or a periodic
collection which would be
sent to the central office
for distribution.
He also asked parishes
in need of personnel to
make their problems
known to the diocesan
mission office which will
seek lay volunteers to
serve in those parishes.
Sfudents Get Voice
In Running Colleges
New York - A Catholic
college in Maryland and a
Lutheran university in
Ontario have announced
that presidents of their
student bodies will be
members of high level in-
stitutional administrative
units.
The student government
leader at Mt. St. Mary’s
college, Emmitsburg, Md.,
will attend and vote in the
president’s administrative
staff meetings, according to
Monsignor Hugh J. Phil-
lips, president.
President Frank C. Pe-
ters of Waterloo (Ont.)
Lutheran university, said
that the head of the Stu-
dent Council will be a full
voting member of the Pres-
ident’s Council, composed
of seven other senior facul-
ty and administrative
members.

Salvation History Continues Today
By Mrs. Lillian S. Beloin
(NC News Service)
Seattle, Wash. - Pre-
schoolers cannot grasp the
"funnel-tvpe concept of
learning” but instead must
learn by experiencing, ac-
cording to Mrs. Veronica
R. Dreves, mother of six
and author of a new cate-
chetical series for pre-
schoolers.
The series, "Joy in the
Father,” has been incorpo-
rated into the Confraterni-
ty of Christian Doctrine
program in the Archdiocese
of Seattle. Already some
300 archdiocesan CCD
teachers have completed
teacher training institutes
in pre-school education at
Seattle university.
THE TRAINING of
teachers is an essential to
the success of the series,

graduate of Iowa State
university who has done
graduate work in pre-
school education there and
at ' Drake university and
the University of Omaha.
Explaining the need for
teacher training, she said:
"First of all, we have to
break down the adult con-
cepts. The teacher must
see the work through the
eyes of a child. The teach-
er must first learn to like
herself before she can
bring out the best of
everything in a child.
"THE CHILD’S sense of
wonder is at its greatest at
four years of age. We
teach the child the theory
that ’God loves him no
matter what he does’ so
the child tries to be 'the
very best me I can be.’ It
makes him open to that
great thing of loving hi*
neighbor as himself be-
cause in order to do that,
he must first love himself.”
According to Mrs.
Dreves, the "Baltimore
Catechism” approach is
"way out” because a "very
young child cannot accept
a logical type of thinking.”
"OUR CHILDREN to-
day,” she adds, "are so
used to watching television
that they have become
accustomed to a conceptual
type of thinking. You must
give them something they
already know and can re-
late to.”
Her series includes both
lessons for the children
and accompanying lessons
to enable the parents to
understand what their chil-
dren are learning.
"A child sees what he
sees,” says Mrs. Dreves.
"An adult sees what he
wants to see.”
Vocation Directors
Receive Advice
Rockton, 111. — Religious
vocation directors were told
they "need to realize and
develop within themselves
their own undiscovered
potential in effectively
guiding qualified candi-
dates to religious life."
Dr. Anthony Del Vecchio,
psychology department
chairman of St. Thomas
College, St. Paul, Minn.,
said vocation directors
must be "persons who
deeply understand them-
selves, who seek an under-
standing of candidates for
these vocations by careful-
ly listening, and who, by
interpersonal openness, al-
low candidates to under-
stand them.”
History includes the
present as well as the
past. This is hard for us to
realize because events have
to be over before they can
be included in the books
we read and study.
About the only time we
have the chance to realize
that history includes the
here-and-now is when
made-on-the-spot film and
tape recording clips are
used in a documentary.
But even then, by the time
these clips are used, the
events they record are in
the past.
Nevertheless, this
year’s election cam-
paigns are as much a
part of history as the
Lincoln-Douglas debates.
Our inner city riots are
as much a part of histo-
ry as the battles of our
Revolutionary War. His-
tory happens as each
minute comes along.
Salvation history also is
a never-ending process. By
it God is revealing Himself
as much to His people of
today as He revealed Him-
self to His people of bibli-
cal times. By salvation his-
tory He makes it possible
for us really to know Him,
not just to know about
Him.
HIS FORGIVING your
sins and mine in the con-
fessional of our parish
church is as much a part
of salvation history as Je-
sus in the courtyard of the
temple forgiving the sins
of the woman taken in
adultery.
Jesus’ offering to His
Father His work for our
redemption in our Mass is
as much a part of salva-

Notre Dame Honors Shriver
American Ambassador R. Sargent Shriver ac-
cepted Notre Dame’s Laetare Medal from Father
Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., university presi-
dent, at a ceremony in Paris. Mrs. Shriver, center,
the former Eunice Kennedy, and four of their five
children were among 150 guests at a reception at
the Mai son de l’Amerique Latine. The former di-
rector of the Peace Corps and Office of Economic
Opportunity was cited by Notre Dame as "a dis-
tinguished diplomat, a gifted administrator, a
compassionate Christian, a courageous
American.”
Prayer of the Faithful |
Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost
20 October 1968
INTRODUCTION. Today our Gospel-reading shows the
power of confident prayer. We pray with confidence as
we ask for our own and others’ needs.
1. — For the whole world, that the Prince of Peace may
relax tensions and end hostilities, we pray to the
Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
2. — For Christ’s Church, that our Holy Father, Pope
Paul, and his brother Bishops may discern and
make known the will of God, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
3. — For ourselves, that we may make the most of
every opportunity for the service of God and
neighbor, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
4. — For your young men and young women, that they
may be strengthened to avoid dangerous excesses,
we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
5. — (The pastor will insert petitions for needs of his
parish.)
6. — For the poor, the neglected, and the oppressed,
that Jesus may assist them through his members
on earth, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
7. - For the Faithful Departed, especially ... and our
military men killed in action, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
PRAYER. O God, we thank you for your gifts in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hear your prayers so
that we may have more reason for thanking you. This
we ask through Jesus. Christ.
tion history as His offering
to His Father this same
work at the Last Supper.
By what He is doing for
us today we come to know
God personally. We do not
have to be told about His
love and mercy. We can
see it for ourselves as per-
sonally He shows His love
and mercy to us.
This explains why in all
our Eucharistic prayers we
have a phrase similar to
this: "This blood is to be
shed for you and for all
men so that sins may be
forgiven.”
Our redemption is not
something that was accom-
plished many centuries
ago. It is being accom-
plished here and now, in
every Mass that is cele-
brated.
Our present Eucharistic
Prayer, our Roman Canon,
is content to recall the
Last Supper and Jesus’
"Passion, Resurrection from
the dead, and Ascension
into glory.”
On certain special feasts
and at certain special sea-
sons, in the Preface it re-
calls the other things that
He did for us.
Our new Eucharistic
prayers will recall God’s
wonderful works for our
redemption in more detail.
In the first, this will be
done very sketchily, hardly
more than by mere men-
tion. In the last, this will
be done in great detail.
THIS LAST, which will
be known as Eucharistic
Prayer IV, after recalling
what God has done for
men from the beginning of
time, will have us offer to
the Father Jesus’ "Body
and Blood as the only sac-
rifice that can bring salva-
tion to the world.” (I quote
a private, unofficial trans-
lation.)
Jesus’ sacrifice of Him-
self, offered in Palestine
1900 years ago, was, of
course, sufficient to effect
Archbishop Named
To Riot Committee
Miami - Miami’s Arch-
bishop Coleman F. Carroll
has been appointed to a
seven-man bi-racial com-
mittee by the City of
Miami Commission to
investigate the August
riots which erupted in the
ghetto area.
According to Miami
Mayor Stephen Clark, the
committee will work close-
ly with the state’s attor-
ney’s office and the Presi-
dent’s Advisory Commis-
sion on Civil Disorders and
report back to the commis-
sion with "fact instead of
fiction.”
Pape’s Oxygen Tent
Given to Biafrans
Vatican City — The oxy-
gen tent and other medical
equipment bought for Pope
Paul’s operation last year
will be used to aid ev-
acuated Biafran children

officials of Caritas, interna-
tional Catholic relief agen-
cy, announced here.
The equipment was given

Pius Xll's Encyclical
Hailed byCardinal
the redemption of the
whole human race. Our
Mass today cannot add
anything to or take any-
thing away from that. It
was complete and effective
in itself.
But you and I need to
have Jesus’ redemption
applied to us day by
day. If today I share
more fully in Hii divine
life, His grace, than I
did yesterday, His re-
demption must be ap-
plied to me today to
bring about this in-
crease.
Because day by day I
come to share more fully
in Jesus’ divine life, day by
day I come to know God
more personally — not
know about Him but know
Him Himself. From what
God is doing for me here
and now, I come to know
the God who is doing it.
What God in the past for
our fathers sets the pat-
tern for what He is doing
for us today. He made the
Israelites safe from slavery
in Egypt by their pasage
through the Red sea, then
formed them into His peo-
ple by His covenant with
them at Sinai.
He leads us out of
slavery to the devil by
our Baptism, and then
renews His covenant with
us in our Mass.
F ERY LITURGICAL
celebration, especially
ever celebration of a sac-
rament, most of all the
Eucharist, carries salvation
history forward.
You and I, by our parti-
cipation in these liturgical
celebrations, live salvation
history as much as the
people of biblical times,
and through the wonderful
works God does for us we
come to know Him person-
ally, as they did.
Vatican City — An en-
cyclical of the late Pope
Pius XII has been hailed
as "The Magna Carta” of
Catholic biblical scholar-
ship and a key to many of
the documents of the Sec-
ond Vatican Council.
This view was expressed
by Cardinal Augustine Bea
in a special address over
Vatican Radio marking the
25th anniversary of the
encyclical "Divino Afflante
Spiritu,” on the inspiration
of Script j-e, issued by
Pope Pius XII in 1943.
"THE ENCYCLICAL
brought great joy and
marked the turning point
in the biblical movement
for Catholic scholars,” the
cardinal said. "It synthe-
sized the results of a half
century of research and
encouraged further pro-
gress.”
Cardinal Bea, president
of the Secretariat for
Christian Unity, was rector
of the Biblical Institute in
Rome at the time Pope
Pius XII issued the docu-
ment. According to some
he was instrumental in the

On Decline
Amsterdam, The Nether-
lands - The number of
new students for the
priesthood has continued to
drop in this country.
Only 166 young men
entered seminaries to be-
gin studies for the priest-
hood in September. There
were 271 new students in
1967, 309 in 1966, 328 in
1965 and 400 in 1959.
Many major seminaries
have been merged in re-
cent years and there are
now only six schools for
the priesthood operating in
the Netherlands. It is prob-
able that three of these
will be closed, with priest-
ly education destined to be
concentrated here and in
Tilburg and Nijmegen.
publication of the encycli-
cal allowing Catholic schol-
ars to use methods of re-
search and study that had
been suspect prior to that
time.
When published, the
document caused some
surprise to traditionalists
but won acceptance with

sive at the Vatican Coun-
cil.
THE ENCYCLICAL
sanctioned the use of the
then controversial method
of form criticism in biblical
interpretation. "More than
that.” the cardinal said, "it
provided a theological basis
for this interpretation.”
"It created interest,” he
continued, "in the written
word of God and through
this in the biblical end
ecumenical movements. It
thus begot and shaped a
generation of Catholic exe-
getes.”
It was due to the bibli-
cal movement stimulated
by Pope Pius XII, Cardinal
Bea said, that the Vatican
Council’s Decree on Reve-
lation emerged with a
pronounced scriptural
stamp ana many of the
encyclical’s ideas are repro-
duced in the decree, some-
times word for word.
The encyclical issued a
quarter of a century ago,
Die cardinal said, had a
profound effect on Vatican
II. "It can be asserted,” he
declared, "that the Council
would have had difficulty
in taking a clear and de-
tailed stand on many prob-
lems if the ideas had not
already been affirmed and
assimilated through the
encyclical of Pius XII.”
