Why this evil in my life? The Old Testament people asked   184 00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:06,260 themselves these same questions. At one time they would see suffering, either   185 00:18:06,260 --> 00:18:11,300 physical or psychological, as a result of the disturbance in the relationship   186 00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:19,300 between God and man. This disturbance we call sin, chief of which is called   187 00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:25,820 original sin. Thus sickness and suffering were closely connected with sin. This might   188 00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:31,740 very well be, in some instances, as in the case of those loose living persons, who might   189 00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:38,740 suffer the consequence to the body from sinful love. But this kind of suffering is only one.   190 00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:47,620 The kind of suffering can and should be avoided by a virtuous, good moral life, made possible   191 00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:51,060 by the help of God's strength and grace.   192 00:18:51,060 --> 00:18:52,780 The kind of suffering we must look at   193 00:18:52,780 --> 00:18:55,420 through the eyes of our Christian faith   194 00:18:55,420 --> 00:19:00,660 is that for which we have no rational answer when   195 00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:03,380 we ask the question why.   196 00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:06,300 This kind of suffering is best seen   197 00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:09,540 in the mystery of life, which escapes   198 00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:13,620 all calculated and easy answers.   199 00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:18,620 What does one, what answer does one give to a young girl   200 00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:26,860 or a boy in the prime of life who is struck down with cancer?   201 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:30,900 What answer does one give to a clean heart working   202 00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:34,380 and conscientious father of a large family   203 00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:36,740 when he's lost the use of his eyes?   204 00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:40,540 These examples could go on without exhaustion,   205 00:19:40,540 --> 00:19:47,540 unavoidable suffering must be seen through the eyes of the people.   206 00:19:49,540 --> 00:19:51,540 Why is there suffering in the world?   207 00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:54,540 Why do good people suffer?   208 00:19:54,540 --> 00:19:58,540 Why do you personally have to suffer?   209 00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:05,540 The answer you give to this question will determine your own attitude towards suffering.   210 00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:10,540 There is no easy answer to this problem of human suffering,   211 00:20:10,540 --> 00:20:13,540 but you know that God is an ever-loving Father   212 00:20:13,540 --> 00:20:17,540 who will never permit you to have greater trials and sufferings   213 00:20:17,540 --> 00:20:19,540 than you can endure.   214 00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:24,540 For His grace is always there to strengthen you.   215 00:20:25,540 --> 00:20:28,540 What should be your attitude to suffering?   216 00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:30,540 How should you suffer?   217 00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:38,040 A newly ordained priest was summoned to the bedside of a dying woman.   218 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,040 It was his very first sick call.   219 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,720 The woman, though suffering intensely, was quite conscious.   220 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,560 On seeing the priest, she whispered,   221 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:56,120 Father, please tell me how to suffer.   222 00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:59,640 Show me how to die.   223 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,640 The priest raised his head, silently uttering a prayer to say the right word.   224 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,640 Then his eyes fell on a crucifix nearby the wall.   225 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,640 There was the answer.   226 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,640 Pointing to the crucifix, he told the helpless patient,   227 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:23,640 Look at Christ on his cross. He will teach you how to suffer.   228 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,640 He will teach you how to die.   229 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:34,720 Let us look at Jesus, our suffering Messiah, and see what should be our response to suffering   230 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,040 for which there is no rational answer.   231 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:44,040 In St. John's Gospel, we read the story of the man born blind, receiving his sight through   232 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000 the healing power of Jesus.   233 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:54,200 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth, and his disciples asked him,   234 00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:01,200 who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?   235 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,200 Jesus answered, it was not that this man sinned or his parents,   236 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,200 but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.   237 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:18,200 Suffering as we conceive with the man born blind   238 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,200 can serve a higher purpose besides that of retribution.   239 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:28,160 it can be that God wishes to reveal to us something of that divine purpose or   240 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,960 plan of which St. Paul speaks about in the first chapter of his letter to the   241 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:43,680 Ephesians. Before the world was made, he chose us, chose us in Christ, chose you,   242 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:51,120 my dear suffering brothers and sisters, for his own kind purposes, to make us   243 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:59,600 praise the glory of his grace. The Christian who finds himself in the entangling and avoidable   244 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:06,000 web of suffering might very well rebel and curse God as would the contemporaries of Job.   245 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:13,360 Eventually, however, the spark of faith deep within him must be found into a flame of holy   246 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:20,360 resignation by the fundamental question, what plan does God have for me in giving me this   247 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:29,120 suffering? The answers will certainly vary. It could be, could it not, that suffering   248 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:36,640 brings the Christians, bring you and me, my dear brothers and sisters, to a certain awareness   249 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,380 of our own weakness and the need for God   250 00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:44,920 to play a more important part in our lives.   251 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000 In this way we are jolted from self-reliance,   252 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,800 even from arrogance, and made to rely more   253 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,560 on our Creator and on our Father.   254 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,660 St. Paul reminds us that although he was given   255 00:23:56,660 --> 00:24:00,600 extraordinary graces, to stop him from getting proud,   256 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,200 he was given a thorn in the flesh.   257 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,840 About this he tells us,   258 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:11,180 I have pleaded with the Lord three times for it to leave me, but he said,   259 00:24:11,180 --> 00:24:14,840 my grace is enough for you.   260 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,920 My power is at best in weakness.   261 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:27,940 Suffering is surely a means to give the Christian a closer awareness of what Jesus is to him.   262 00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:34,940 someone an untrue ally, someone who has a divine plan into which the sufferer fits,   263 00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:39,940 and someone who knows, too, what it is to suffer.   264 00:24:39,940 --> 00:24:44,940 Yet, there is another positive aspect of suffering,   265 00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:48,940 of which we Christians must remind ourselves from time to time,   266 00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:51,940 redemptive suffering.   267 00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:59,060 This, to the man without faith, is indeed a stumbling block, mere madness.   268 00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:01,660 How can suffering redeem?   269 00:25:01,660 --> 00:25:09,020 The words of the prophet Isaiah instruct us as they point to Jesus, the suffering Messiah.   270 00:25:09,020 --> 00:25:14,900 And yet, ours were the sufferings he bore, ours the sorrows he carried.   271 00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:25,540 Yet we, we thought of his as one, as someone punished, struck by God and brought loo.   272 00:25:25,540 --> 00:25:32,620 Yet he was pierced through for our faults, crushed for our sins.   273 00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:35,820 On him lies a punishment that brings peace.   274 00:25:35,820 --> 00:25:41,540 And through his wounds, we are all healed.   275 00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:49,960 To underline this notion of redemptive suffering is the Judeo-Christian concept of human solidarity   276 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:56,060 reflected in the Catholic teaching of the body of Christ.   277 00:25:56,060 --> 00:26:00,340 The baptized faithful and Jesus making up the body.   278 00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:04,260 Whatever affects one part affects indirectly the other parts.   279 00:26:04,260 --> 00:26:09,180 If one part is hurt, all parts are hurt with it.   280 00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:14,260 If one part is given special honor, all parts enjoy it.   281 00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:23,780 Now you together are Christ's body, but each of you is a different part of it.   282 00:26:23,780 --> 00:26:30,620 In today's 23th century, we must emphasize this concept of human solidarity, for each   283 00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:35,100 man is related to every other person and to Christ.   284 00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:40,100 No man is an island. No man stands alone.   285 00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:44,100 We in the world are the one body of Christ.   286 00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:50,100 Who is to say that today's world does not need redemption?   287 00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:57,100 The wars, the starving thousands upon thousands in the underdeveloped countries,   288 00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:04,100 the jobless men without hope, the acts of violence and hideous crimes,   289 00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:09,100 abortions, greed, graft and corruption in high and low places.   290 00:27:10,180 --> 00:27:15,180 All those responsible for these are in need of redemption.   291 00:27:15,740 --> 00:27:17,900 Make up for that which is lacking   292 00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:21,140 in the suffering of Christ, says Saint Paul.   293 00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:24,900 And again, always remember, wherever we may be,   294 00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:29,900 we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus,   295 00:27:30,060 --> 00:27:32,660 so that the life of Jesus, too,   296 00:27:32,660 --> 00:27:35,060 may always be seen in our body.   297 00:27:35,060 --> 00:27:37,820 Our faith tells us and our experience   298 00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:45,460 confirm that suffering can be beneficial for the transformation   299 00:27:45,460 --> 00:27:47,900 of others.   300 00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:51,460 Is that God's plan for you?   301 00:27:51,460 --> 00:27:54,900 I invite and I challenge you, my dear brothers and sisters,   302 00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:59,180 to ask the Lord with sincerity and profound humility   303 00:27:59,180 --> 00:28:02,180 while here at this Eucharistic Congress.   304 00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:06,740 Lord, what will thou have me to do?   305 00:28:06,740 --> 00:28:09,260 Look at Christ on the cross.   306 00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:12,780 There is your answer to the puzzle of human suffering.   307 00:28:12,780 --> 00:28:17,580 No man ever suffered more excruciating pains.   308 00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:23,980 No man had less reason to suffer.   309 00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:28,820 No man suffered with more joy and confidence.   310 00:28:28,820 --> 00:28:34,900 Christ feared suffering just as you and I remember his prayer   311 00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,060 during his agony in the garden.   312 00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:41,600 Oh, my father, if it is possible,   313 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,820 let this chalice pass from me.   314 00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:50,780 Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.   315 00:28:50,780 --> 00:28:52,660 For Lord accepted his suffering as the will   316 00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:54,300 of his heavenly father.   317 00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:58,380 And so he faced his passion with peace and joy.   318 00:28:58,380 --> 00:29:02,340 Like Christ, you must accept your sufferings,   319 00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:05,100 seeing in them the will of a loving Father.   320 00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:09,140 With Christ, you must offer them up to redeem the world.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,960 The world we live in is hungry for food, but more hungry for justice, hungry for redemption.   2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:20,960 Jesus invites all of us, you and me, to couple our sufferings with his in order to redeem   3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,240 the hungry world.   4 00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:28,600 Once redeemed anew, life in abundance will be experienced by all men.   5 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:35,880 and joy will prevail, given birth by suffering and sacrifice. This, however, can only be   6 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:45,920 realized if we suffer like Jesus, in accordance with His example. Not only does the Christian   7 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:54,160 suffer like Christ, but he also suffers for Him and with Him. Suffering for suffering's   8 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,160 is of no value.   9 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,160 The Christian suffering is of value only insofar   10 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,160 as it exists in Christ.   11 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,160 The Christian who approaches suffering in such a positive manner   12 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,160 with resignation and confidence   13 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,160 will, like Job, look at suffering in the context of mystery.   14 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,160 You might not be able to fathom the purpose of your suffering,   15 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:26,160 but you will faithfully rest your case in the hand of God, your Emmanuel.   16 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,160 Such a person of faith will not be able, will be able to say with St. Paul,   17 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,160 it makes me happy to suffer for you, as I am suffering now,   18 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:45,160 and in my own body to do what I can to make up for all that has still to be undergone by Christ,   19 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160 for the sake of His body, the Church.   20 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:56,420 Yes, my dear brothers and sisters, our church is broken by sin, confusion and selfishness.   21 00:01:56,420 --> 00:02:02,920 You are invited to share in the sufferings of Jesus, are special in His side.   22 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,340 You are special because you bring healing to His body and to the world.   23 00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:16,720 As we celebrate the Eucharist today and are reminded of God's providential love for us,   24 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,180 in His tender care for each and every one of us,   25 00:02:20,180 --> 00:02:23,760 let us make our own those words of the liturgy.   26 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840 Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,   27 00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,940 but only say the word and I shall be healed.   28 00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:35,820 Healed in body, healed in mind and soul.   29 00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:40,000 Our church too and our world will then be healed through us.   30 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:46,320 For we will have identified with Him who suffered   31 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,320 that we may be healed and have life in abundance.   32 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,480 God bless you.   33 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,120 Lord God, loving Father,   34 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,080 you bring healing to the sick   35 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,840 Through your Son, Jesus Christ, hear us as we pray to you in faith,   36 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,360 and send the Holy Spirit, man's helper and friend, upon this oil,   37 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,480 which nature has provided to serve the needs of men.   38 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,120 May your blessing come upon all who are anointed with this oil,   39 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240 that they may be freed from pain and illness,   40 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,320 and made well again in body, mind, and soul.   41 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,660 Father, may this oil be blessed for our use.   42 00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:50,260 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,   43 00:03:50,260 --> 00:03:54,380 who lives and

He said, They are indeed my   48 00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:16,140 people, children who are not disloyal. So He became their Savior in their every   49 00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:24,140 affliction. It was not a messenger or an angel, but he himself who saved them.   50 00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:32,060 Because of his love and pity, he redeemed them himself, lifting them and carrying   51 00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:38,660 them all the days of old. This is the word of the Lord.   52 00:05:46,140 --> 00:06:07,460 A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians.   53 00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:12,940 Grace and peace from our God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.   54 00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:19,940 I continually thank my God for you because of the favor he has bestowed on you in Christ   55 00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:27,180 Jesus, in whom you have been richly endowed with every gift of speech and knowledge.   56 00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:34,580 Likewise, the witness I bore to Christ has been so confirmed among you that you lack   57 00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:41,020 no spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.   58 00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:47,260 He will strengthen you to the end so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord   59 00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:48,820 Jesus.   60 00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:56,980 God is faithful and it was he who called you to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ,   61 00:06:56,980 --> 00:06:58,700 our Lord.   62 00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:00,700 This is the word of the Lord.   63 00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:38,680 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.   64 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,760 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountainside.   65 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:51,760 After he had sat down, his disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.   66 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840 How blessed are the poor in spirit!   67 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,120 The reign of God is theirs.   68 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,560 Blessed too are the sorrowing.   69 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,840 They shall be consoled.   70 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,760 Blessed are the lowly.   71 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,300 they shall inherit the land.   72 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,760 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness,   73 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,600 they shall have their fill.   74 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,140 Blessed are they who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs.   75 00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:27,160 Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall see God.   76 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,620 Blessed too the peacemakers, they   77 00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,620 shall be called sons of God.   78 00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:36,380 Blessed are those persecuted for holiness' sake.   79 00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:39,540 The reign of God is theirs.   80 00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:43,500 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you   81 00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:48,180 and utter every kind of slander against you because of me.   82 00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:52,900 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward in heaven is great.   83 00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,540 This is the gospel of the Lord.   84 00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:57,020 Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.   85 00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:52,060 I will give thanks to you with all my heart, O Lord, for you have answered me.   86 00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:57,820 Words taken from the 137th Psalm.   87 00:09:57,820 --> 00:10:06,460 Eminences, Bishop McDevitt, Chief Sullivan of the Mass, Your Excellencies,   88 00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:16,780 Reverend Fathers, and my dearly beloved brothers and sisters. We have gathered   89 00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:25,020 here today to make our own the words of the psalmist and to express our   90 00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:34,220 gratitude to the Lord for his goodness and kindness to us. He has given us   91 00:10:34,220 --> 00:10:49,860 length of years, some 60, some 70, some 80 like myself, some 90, and some perhaps   92 00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:59,980 even more. And yet over and beyond the gift of life which the Lord has given us   93 00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:07,260 we are profoundly grateful for the gift of his own body and blood in the Holy   94 00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:14,140 Eucharist which is the source of our spiritual comfort and happiness with him   95 00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:25,020 now and in the life to come. In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Saint John, our   96 00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:35,420 Lord Jesus Christ offers himself to us as the source of all life. There he is,   97 00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:42,540 first of all, our bodily life. At the beginning of the chapter we read that   98 00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:50,340 the Lord multiplied five barley loaves and a couple of dried fish in order to   99 00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:59,900 feed the hungry. In this way our Savior reveals that his power is the power of   100 00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:09,220 God the Creator who cares for the life of his creatures. But man does not live   101 00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:17,660 by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, as St. Matthew has   102 00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:20,260 written.   103 00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:28,140 There is in each one of us a life different from the life of the body.   104 00:12:28,140 --> 00:12:38,140 We also hunger and thirst for happiness, for love, for knowledge, for understanding, for   105 00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:45,580 justice, for an existence that is worthwhile.   106 00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:54,320 This is the life of the spirit of man, and we know how many men and women are willing   107 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:06,960 to endure all kinds of physical misfortunes in order to satisfy this spiritual hunger.   108 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,320 Our Lord is also the source of this life.   109 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,520 Faith in Him satisfies our spiritual desire.   110 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:23,580 That is why he said, I am the bread of life.   111 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:32,020 He who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.   112 00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:42,140 Faith in Jesus allows the believer to possess the life of Jesus himself, which is the life   113 00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:44,100 of God.   114 00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:52,700 Finally, our greatest happiness is when both the body and the spirit can participate in   115 00:13:52,700 --> 00:14:00,060 this divine life, in this eternal life, as Jesus calls it.   116 00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:12,420 This life is the real life, besides which any other kind of life is but a pale shadow.   117 00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:20,900 Many of those who listened to Jesus questioned his ability to give them this life.   118 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:30,780 His reply to them was the startling announcement of the institution of the Holy Eucharist.   119 00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:41,340 The Holy Eucharist is, as you know, the source of divine life for both the body and the spirit.   120 00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:47,100 The reception of the Eucharist will bring about the wonderful miracle of the resurrection   121 00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:56,620 of the flesh and the participation of the human body in the life of God's Spirit.   122 00:14:56,620 --> 00:15:07,580 This is why the Lord says, He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,   123 00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:13,500 and I will raise him up on the last day.   124 00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:21,180 My dear friends, this is our faith.   125 00:15:21,180 --> 00:15:27,420 This is why we have come to this Congress.   126 00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:33,280 This is what we bring to this celebration.   127 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,200 The world today needs our witness.   128 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,080 It needs our presence.   129 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:51,600 The air is filled with mournful sounds of despair, of rebellion, of frustration, of   130 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400 hopelessness.   131 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:03,980 There is an illusion of immortality, the idea that life is property to be defended rather   132 00:16:03,980 --> 00:16:07,920 than a gift to be shared.   133 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:18,440 The value in deed, even the possibility of fidelity and perseverance, is questioned.   134 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,340 Certainly there are many reasons for this.   135 00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:28,260 have been disappointed so many times. Indeed, if the possibility for   136 00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:35,860 perseverance, fidelity, and hope depended entirely on our human strength and   137 00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:44,860 resources, then there would be reason to wonder whether these things are possible.   138 00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:53,860 This is why the world today needs the contribution of our fidelity to the faith.   139 00:16:53,860 --> 00:16:58,860 We have much to share with others.   140 00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:04,860 We have a message for all the participants of this Congress.   141 00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:10,860 In fact, we have a message for our society.   142 00:17:10,860 --> 00:17:26,860 This is our message. God is faithful. It is a simple message. It is not new. We have just heard it in the second reading of this Mass.   143 00:17:26,860 --> 00:17:38,860 We pray that our presence here in this celebration of our faith will help everyone to understand this message.   144 00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:50,300 We believe that Jesus Christ is the pledge of God's love and fidelity.   145 00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:58,680 The Eucharist is the celebration of God's covenant with humanity.   146 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:06,120 He will always be faithful to this solemn commitment to our salvation.   147 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:14,320 The sacred body and blood of Jesus, his presence in the Holy Eucharist, which endures until   148 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:23,560 the end of time, is the greatest sign of the everlasting fidelity of God.   149 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:34,960 The Eucharist can transform our lives to be a sign of this divine fidelity.   150 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:43,400 This is what we wish our many years of life to be for everyone, a sign of God's fidelity   151 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,780 to his covenant.   152 00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:55,200 For this to be so, we do not need any special talents or abilities.   153 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,040 All we need is faith.   154 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,860 To live all of our years secure in our faith in God's fidelity.   155 00:19:05,860 --> 00:19:15,480 This is our contribution to the satisfaction of the hungers of the human family, indeed   156 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:21,580 to the salvation of humanity.   157 00:19:21,580 --> 00:19:32,400 Those of you who are suffering from some infirmity can add to our message another aspect.   158 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:38,880 You remind us of how God revealed his love for us through the sufferings of his only   159 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,120 begotten Son.   160 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:51,520 faith unites you to Christ in such a way that your pain and your suffering   161 00:19:51,520 --> 00:20:00,480 become a source of grace and eternal life to both the living and the dead.   162 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:08,800 When you are united to the suffering of the Savior, your pain is no longer   163 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:19,200 useless. You may offer it in reparation for the sins of those who willfully and   164 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:29,920 I repeat willfully reject belief in Christ in the Holy Eucharist. My dear   165 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:41,240 Dear friends, for all of these reasons, this Congress is honored by your presence.   166 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:50,060 The Church knows how much it needs the unique contribution of your faith.   167 00:20:50,060 --> 00:20:59,000 As recently as May 5th of this year, the Catholic bishops of the United States declared in a   168 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000 frank and forward-looking statement and I quote,   169 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:14,320 We take pride in the fact that the Catholic community has always made special efforts   170 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:26,360 to care for the elderly, but we also recognize that there is much still to do.   171 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:34,500 And what about our society, our contemporary culture?   172 00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:43,320 Is it not in desperate need of our presence and of the witness we can give?   173 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:50,520 That is why the bishops began their statement in this fashion, and I quote,   174 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:57,520 America today, they said, faces a great paradox.   175 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:10,520 It is an ageing nation which worships the culture, values, and appearance of youth,   176 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:20,280 instead of viewing old age as an achievement and a natural stage of life   177 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:32,600 with its own merits, wisdom, and beauty. Our culture seems to be unhappy and   178 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:45,080 uncomfortable with old age. It is afraid of what it sees as the loneliness of the old,   179 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:55,560 but the fact is that the ones who are lonely are those who try to separate the elderly   180 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:08,760 their midst. The truth is that a civilization is truly and properly   181 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:16,040 developed and blessed by the Lord that respects and cares for the elderly and   182 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:24,080 the youth of the nation. Let us reach out our hand of compassion and remind   183 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:32,420 everyone that life is a gift from God and is to be shared. Let us tell them   184 00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:43,680 that old age is not a disease but a maturing process of life. It is true   185 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:51,400 because of the tragedy of original sin. Our bodies are wounded by this maturing   186 00:23:51,400 --> 00:24:01,520 process and our souls need God's grace to reach perfection. But as we grow old   187 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:12,640 we gain something precious, a new awareness of that which is lasting and   188 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:20,640 and eternal, namely, life in union with God.   189 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:28,100 This truth, more thoroughly revealed by the passing of years, can light up the present   190 00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:37,660 for ourselves and for others, and give new hope and meaning to the lives of our friends   191 00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:41,840 and associates.   192 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:53,160 Now in this connection, let us take care that our contribution is not weakened by paralyzing   193 00:24:53,160 --> 00:25:02,280 regrets concerning our past mistakes and sins.   194 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:11,160 The very message that we proclaim today, the message of God's fidelity, reminds us that   195 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:21,980 our God is a God of mercy and of love. Did he not forgive Peter who denied he   196 00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:31,040 knew him? He forgave Mary Magdalene and he promised the good thief that he would   197 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:40,720 on the very day of the crucifixion be with him in paradise. Nothing that we can   198 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:49,560 do or have done can take away his offer of forgiveness and grace. In the   199 00:25:49,560 --> 00:26:01,000 sacrament of penance we hear his word of mercy inviting us to leave our past in   200 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:09,840 his hands. The readings of today's liturgy will sum up our message. In the   201 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,960 first reading the Prophet Isaiah speaks of God's fidelity. This is the fidelity   202 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:22,320 to which our long lives of faith can testify. We can make our own the words of   203 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:30,200 the Prophet. The favors of the Lord I will recall, he says, the glorious deeds of the   204 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:38,720 Lord because of all he has done for us, lifting us and carrying us all the days   205 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:47,500 of our lives. If our faith allows us to say this, it is not because of any merit   206 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:55,520 on our part. It is God who has saved us. As St. Paul writes to the Corinthians,   207 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:04,840 as read in today's second lesson from Scripture, God is faithful. By whom you   208 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:14,480 were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. The Beatitudes   209 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:22,000 in today's Gospel indicate the attitude of heart which our long life has taught   210 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:29,160 us to recognize as favorable before the Lord. The Beatitudes call happy or   211 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:40,020 blessed, those who have come to realize that all their help must come from God,   212 00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:48,180 that only God is absolutely faithful and reliable.   213 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:54,900 Earlier in this discourse I spoke of the great hunger for hope in our world today,   214 00:27:54,900 --> 00:28:05,900 of the sad disillusionment brought about by broken promises and unfilled aspirations.   215 00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:11,900 It is true that the hungers of the human family are many and intense.   216 00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:17,900 The hunger for justice and freedom is common among many others.   217 00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:24,900 No one of us, nor all of us together, can hope to satisfy them all.   218 00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:31,900 But while no one can do everything, everyone can do something.   219 00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:40,900 So, we thank God for all the assistance given to us by the many individuals and associations   220 00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:45,900 in the Church, in our society, and in our government,   221 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,240 concerned with our welfare.   222 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000 Pope John XXIII, in his encyclical, Peace on Earth,   223 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,320 reminded us of this obligation,   224 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,440 to care for the needs of one another.   225 00:29:03,140 --> 00:29:03,980 He wrote,   226 00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:15,980 Every person, he said, has the right to life, to bodily integrity, and to the means which are suitable for the proper development of life.   227 00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:30,980 These are primarily food, clothing, shelter, rest, medical care, and finally the necessary social services.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,680 A human being also has the right to security in cases of sickness, inability to work, old 2 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:21,160 age, unemployment, or in any other case in which he is deprived of the means of subsistence 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,400 through no fault of his own. 4 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:34,920 May this Eucharistic Congress give everyone the graces to respond to this mission of charity 5 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440 for our neighbors in need. 6 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:46,480 If we are united in Christ, then there is much we can do with the power of faith and 7 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,840 with the assistance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Church, who will be 8 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,080 our companion in this pilgrimage. 9 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:10,800 Go then and do your work of ennobling and enriching the lives of those around you in 10 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,880 the strength of this sacramental food. 11 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:23,560 Go and spread about in the world the power of love and happiness because you have in 12 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:36,320 Eucharist, love within you. You are abiding in him and he in you. Whether the 13 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:44,920 road ahead is long or short, there is much that we can give, much that we can 14 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:56,600 do. Our pace may be slow, but we have still many a mile to go. For every step 15 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:06,000 along the way can bring happiness to others. May God bless us all today and 16 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,280 always. God love you. 17 00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:43,980 of the Holy Spirit. 18 00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:48,980 I am coming to die for the love of my people, 19 00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,980 and the people of the Father. 20 00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:52,980 For when we all come to His name, 21 00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:55,980 we are blessed and give our salvation. 22 00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:57,980 He will help us. 23 00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:00,980 The power of our Lord is with you. 24 00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,980 He will pour out His mercy on you. 25 00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:04,980 He will give you His hand. 26 00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:07,980 Our salvation is with the Father. 27 00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:10,980 He shall provide for you. 28 00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:15,980 On the third day, he will join me in the world of his mysteries. 29 00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:20,480 In this second covenant, we receive the third man of God. 30 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,980 He will come in the glory of the church and in the

Because of their wicked avarice, I was angry and struck them,   15 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:07,040 hiding myself in wrath as they went their own rebellious way. I saw their   16 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:16,840 ways, but I will heal them and lead them. I will give full comfort to them and to   17 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:28,740 those who mourn for them. I, the creator who gave them life. Peace, peace to the   18 00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:38,740 far and the near, says the Lord, for I will heal them. This is the word of the   19 00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:41,040 Lord.   20 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:51,880 A reading from the letter of Paul to the Colossians.   21 00:02:51,880 --> 00:03:02,160 Because you are God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt   22 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:12,160 mercy, with kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.   23 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Bear with one another.   24 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:21,160 Forgive whatever grievances you have against one another.   25 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,160 Forgive as the Lord has forgiven you.   26 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,160 Over all these virtues, put on love,   27 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,160 which binds the rest together and makes them perfect.   28 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,160 Christ's peace must reign in your hearts,   29 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,160 since as members of one body,   30 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,160 you have been called to that peace.   31 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,160 Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness.   32 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,160 This is the word of the Lord.   33 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Thank you, God.   34 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160 The Lord be with you.   35 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,160 And also with you.   36 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:37,480 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.   37 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:45,680 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up to the mountainside.   38 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:58,100 After he had sat down, his disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.   39 00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:02,440 How blessed are the poor in spirit!   40 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,240 The reign of God is theirs.   41 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,700 Blessed too are the sorrowing.   42 00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:15,160 They shall be consoled.   43 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:23,000 Blessed are the lowly, they shall inherit the land.   44 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:34,680 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness, they shall have their fill.   45 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Blessed are those who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs.   46 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:50,560 Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall see God.   47 00:05:50,560 --> 00:06:00,080 Blessed too the peacemakers, they shall be called sons of God.   48 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Blessed are those who are persecuted for holiness' sake, the reign of God is theirs.   49 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:19,680 What are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of slander against   50 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,320 you because of me?   51 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:33,200 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward in heaven is great.   52 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,520 This is the Gospel of the Lord.   53 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Alleluia, Alleluia.   54 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,680 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.   55 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:22,680 because he has anointed me, he has sent me to announce good news to the poor,   56 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:34,680 to proclaim liberty for prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,   57 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,680 to let the broken victims go free,   58 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,680 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.   59 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,680 Such were the words of Jesus on the day   60 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:13,680 when at the age of 30 he was able to rise in the synagogue of Nazareth.   61 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:30,680 By this word he reveals his messianic mission.   62 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:38,680 Messiah means the anointed one.   63 00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:54,680 And thus Israel, the people of the old covenant, is faced by the Messiah,   64 00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:07,680 by him whom the Father had anointed with the Holy Spirit,   65 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:12,680 and sent into the world.   66 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:24,680 This same Jesus Christ today faces us all,   67 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:45,000 the people of the new covenant here on American soil in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly   68 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:55,500 where the Eucharistic Congress is taking place.   69 00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:11,000 And again, Jesus defines himself and his mission in the same way.   70 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,700 Therefore he hath said to his disciples,   71 00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:29,840 I am with you always to the end of time.   72 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:38,960 He has instituted the sacrament of his body and blood   73 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:56,960 precisely in order to be, to be really and sacramentally with us.   74 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:10,600 When we are gathered here in such numbers from all the parts of the world, it is therefore   75 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:23,880 right to be with Him, with the Eucharistic Jesus, in a special way.   76 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:43,000 It is right to return to the worlds with which he proclaims liberation for all who are deprived   77 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,640 of freedom.   78 00:11:49,640 --> 00:12:00,720 The Eucharist is the food which satisfies man's deepest hunger.   79 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:16,120 Created in the image and likeness of God himself, man can find the final appeasement of his   80 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:28,120 hunger and fulfillment of his desires in God alone.   81 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:38,800 Our heart is not quiet until it rests in thee.   82 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:46,920 at the same time, created from the dust of the earth,   83 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:54,640 and placed among the creatures of the visible world,   84 00:12:54,640 --> 00:13:00,440 subjected to the laws of creation,   85 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:07,280 and even to some degree to the laws of nature.   86 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,080 Man hungers in many ways.   87 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:21,300 We have a true vision of the man of our times.   88 00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:27,640 And we speak truthfully of him when,   89 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:34,500 while remembering the physical hunger of millions   90 00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:45,860 of our brothers, men of all continents, we intend to speak   91 00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:58,020 today of the hunger of the human soul, which is no less   92 00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:03,020 and hunger for real freedom.   93 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:11,580 What this freedom is,   94 00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:15,620 each of us knows to some extent,   95 00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:20,940 according to his own experience.   96 00:14:22,340 --> 00:14:27,340 It is the principal trait of humanity.   97 00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:33,020 and the source of human dignity.   98 00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:42,020 We read in the pastoral constitution of the Second Vatican Council,   99 00:14:43,020 --> 00:14:57,020 our contemporaries make much of this freedom and pursue it eagerly and rightly so.   100 00:14:58,020 --> 00:15:11,020 Authentic freedom is an exceptional sign of the divine image within us.   101 00:15:12,020 --> 00:15:26,020 Man's dignity demands that he act according to a conscious and free choice.   102 00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:42,940 It does not result from blight internal impulse, nor from mere external pressure.   103 00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:48,060 so the Vantican Council.   104 00:15:48,060 --> 00:16:04,780 Freedom is at the same time offered to man and imposed upon him as a task.   105 00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:22,200 It is in the first place an attribute of the human person and in this sense it is a gift   106 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:32,520 of the Creator and an endowment of human nature.   107 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:44,020 For this reason, it is also the lawful right of man.   108 00:16:44,020 --> 00:17:01,500 Man has a right to freedom, to self-determination, to the choice of his life career, to acting   109 00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:06,500 according to his own right convictions.   110 00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:13,660 Freedom has been given to man by his creator   111 00:17:15,860 --> 00:17:20,860 in order to be used and to be used well.   112 00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:30,700 But man may not abuse his freedom   113 00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:45,460 For, as we know perfectly well from said experience, He can abuse His liberty.   114 00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:53,180 He can do wrong because He is free.   115 00:17:53,180 --> 00:18:05,860 That freedom has been given to him by his Creator, not in order to commit what is evil,   116 00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:10,180 but to do good.   117 00:18:10,180 --> 00:18:23,980 but also bestowed upon man understanding and conscience to show him what is good and what   118 00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:33,100 ought to be done, what is wrong and what should be avoided.   119 00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:45,500 God's commandments help our understanding and our conscience on the way.   120 00:18:45,500 --> 00:19:00,420 The greatest commandment, that of love, leads the way to the fullest use of liberty.   121 00:19:00,420 --> 00:19:17,420 has been given to man in order for him to love, to love true good, to love God above   122 00:19:17,420 --> 00:19:27,340 to love man as his neighbor and brother.   123 00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:39,380 Those who obey this truth, this gospel, the real disciples of Jesus Christ, disciples   124 00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:53,980 of eternal wisdom achieved us a state of royal freedom, for they follow that King whom to   125 00:19:53,980 --> 00:20:00,260 serve is to reign.   126 00:20:00,260 --> 00:20:09,260 The kingdom is therefore offered to man and given to him as a task.   127 00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:19,260 He must not only possess it, but also conquer it.   128 00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:34,100 He must recognize the work of his life in a good use, in an increasingly better use   129 00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:38,020 of his liberty.   130 00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:51,900 This is the fundamental work on which the value and sense of his whole life depend.   131 00:20:51,900 --> 00:21:04,060 Jesus Christ, who stands before us, as he did in the synagogue of Nazareth, to proclaim   132 00:21:04,060 --> 00:21:17,700 Freedom to those who do not possess it fulfills now what he has declared.   133 00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:31,180 In reality, he teaches us and helps us to make a good use, the best possible use of   134 00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:33,900 our freedom.   135 00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:49,040 He wants men while they are free and protects them from becoming slaves of their sins, weaknesses   136 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,020 and passions.   137 00:21:52,020 --> 00:22:04,400 He protects them from becoming slaves of the flesh, of self-indulgence, of money.   138 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:18,120 He entreats them to be internally free, to remain themselves, and to allow neither their   139 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:27,880 career, nor riches and applause of the world to enslave them.   140 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:41,800 Jesus Christ reveals in the deepest way that there exists in man's soul a real hunger   141 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:59,560 for freedom and teaches him what that freedom consists in and how this hunger may be truly   142 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,880 satisfied.   143 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:09,080 Christ had been teaching this by all his life.   144 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:17,040 This was the continual lesson given by this person.   145 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:26,880 He does not cease to give us this lesson, not only for the obvious reason that his deeds   146 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:38,440 and words have been recorded in the Gospel, but above all, because he remained with us   147 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:53,180 in the Eucharist. The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. These words of   148 00:23:53,180 --> 00:24:02,940 Christ came true on Holy Thursday, while he was washing the feet of his disciples, and   149 00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:11,020 but most of all on Calvary and in the Eucharist.   150 00:24:11,020 --> 00:24:24,260 In this sacrament, he gave himself away and continues giving himself utterly to God his   151 00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:29,140 Father and to men.   152 00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:39,700 All of you who participate in the Eucharist, if you are to do it with the right interior   153 00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:52,420 attitude, must at the same time accept the Messianic program of liberation, according   154 00:24:52,420 --> 00:25:01,420 to which the best use of freedom is love.   155 00:25:01,420 --> 00:25:10,500 And love expresses itself in the service of God and man,   156 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:15,180 in laying down one's life for one's brothers.   157 00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:28,600 The hunger for freedom passes through the heart of every man, and the richer the heart,   158 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,980 the greater the hunger.   159 00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:42,780 The Eucharist is the chief source of that wealth contained in the human heart.   160 00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:57,460 O God, who in this sacrament gives himself wholly to us through this spiritual communion,   161 00:25:57,460 --> 00:26:10,340 enriches us in a most magnificent way and brings out from the secret of man's heart   162 00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:20,820 all the treasures which its Creator has enclosed within it.   163 00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:31,580 In this way, the Eucharist is the wealth of the poor, even of those who are poorest, and   164 00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:36,980 food for the hungry.   165 00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:48,460 But the hunger for freedom passes also through the history of the human race, through the   166 00:26:48,460 --> 00:27:01,020 history of nations and peoples. It reveals their spiritual maturity and at the same time   167 00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:13,300 tests it. This year is the bicentennial of the day when the hunger for freedom ripened   168 00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:24,740 in the American society and revealed itself in liberation and the Declaration of Independence   169 00:27:24,740 --> 00:27:27,900 of the United States.   170 00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:43,480 Tadeusz Kościuszko and Kazimierz Pulaski, my compatriots, participated in this fight   171 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,320 for independence.   172 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:56,820 The heroes of the Polish nation became heroes of American independence.   173 00:27:56,820 --> 00:28:09,680 And all this took place at a time when Poland, a big kingdom consisting of three nations,   174 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:19,240 The Poles, the Lithuanians, and the Ruthenians were beginning to lose its independence and   175 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:27,200 by degrees became the prey of its rapacious neighbors.   176 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:35,040 At the same time, while the United States of America were gaining independence, we are   177 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,640 losing it for a period of more than a hundred years.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" transcription="" is="" inconsistent="" at="" times="" due="" to="" the="" ai="" being="" unable="" pick="" up="" switch="" between="" languages="" br=""> Side 2 [Transcription is inconsistent at times due to the AI being unable to pick up the switch between languages.] 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,120 The heroic efforts and sacrifices similar to those of Kostiushko and Pulaski had been 2 00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:26,480 necessary to ripen anew the freedom of the nation and to test it before all the world. 3 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:41,200 I wish to confess here before Eucharistic Jesus that during those old struggles for 4 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:53,920 liberty, he was our inspiration and our first hope. 5 00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:05,460 The faith in his resurrection, after his passion and death, has never left us, and in spite 6 00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:19,300 of all kinds of distress and persecutions, it has created continually the will to live 7 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:24,840 and the desire of freedom. 8 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:39,080 And thus, Jesus Christ fulfilled his messianic promise once given in Nazareth. 9 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:56,440 The Spirit of the Lord has sent me to announce good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty 10 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:05,480 for all who are deprived of freedom. 11 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:18,400 We believe that in the gospel there is the full and fundamental program of liberation 12 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040 of man. 13 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Jesus Christ is the true prophet of man's freedom and also of the liberty of nations 14 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:46,720 and peoples, of all the oppressed who suffer from hunger for true freedom. 15 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:59,960 Are we not witnesses in our times of the many-sided limitations and even deprivation of freedom 16 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:07,080 of whole societies, nations and states. 17 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:19,080 And all this is happening while colonial nations, up to now subjugated by others, have ripened 18 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:28,560 to freedom and have achieved their independence, a fact which gladdens all those who really 19 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:43,340 love liberty. But it is being already said that old forms of colonialism are being superseded 20 00:03:43,340 --> 00:04:01,240 by new ones. The Synod of Bishops in 1971 spoke also of silent victims of injustice 21 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:11,320 who are deprived of the possibility of making themselves heard. 22 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:20,480 And so, the hunger for freedom continues to be unsatisfied. 23 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:31,220 Individuals and societies, groups and social classes, and above all, the peoples and nations 24 00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:39,220 of our 20th century have acquired a more acute awareness of the fact 25 00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:50,500 the laws of human freedom have been more fully formulated as has been in the case 26 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:57,060 of the law of nations. They have entered the constitutions and codes, 27 00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:11,380 the international declaration and conventions, but have they actually entered real life to 28 00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:16,820 the same extent? 29 00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:28,220 In our times, of the background of the maturing social and human consciousness, the principle 30 00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:42,260 of the freedom of the human spirit, of the freedom of conscience, of the freedom of religion 31 00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:54,180 has become much more evident. The Second Vatican Council has expressed it in many places, and 32 00:05:54,180 --> 00:06:06,180 especially in the Declaration on Religion and Freedom. But is this principle really 33 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:21,100 respected everywhere. Do we never meet with the case of those who are underprivileged 34 00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:33,140 because of their religious convictions? May we not even speak today of actual persecutions 35 00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:44,940 of those who confess their religion, Christians and others, persecuted as they were in the 36 00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:49,660 first century after Christ. 37 00:06:49,660 --> 00:07:00,340 This is what the Declaration on Religious Freedom says on the subject, even though freedom 38 00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:13,140 of religious worship receives constitutional recognition, the powers of the government 39 00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:24,900 are engaged in the effort to deter citizens from professing religion and to make life 40 00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:29,900 difficult and dangerous for religious community. 41 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:37,240 Here, I intend to include some words 42 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,240 in my proper language in Polish. 43 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:56,840 You all who are listening to me today, and to whom this language is known and close as 44 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:07,040 the heritage of ancestors, accept the truth that I am preaching. 45 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:15,040 It is deeply ingrained in our common past. 46 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:21,040 When the great rector of the Kraków Academy, Paweł Włodkowicz, 47 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,040 stood before the Councils of Constance, 48 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:33,040 he defended the rights of human conscience and the rights of the nation 49 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:40,040 from those who wanted to convert violence to faith. 50 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,040 His words entered the history of the human spirit. 51 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,040 They served as the foundation of international law, 52 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,040 because they contained an indisputable truth. 53 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:15,040 And although many centuries have passed, the same truth is spoken today and demands respect everywhere. 54 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:26,040 Pope John XXIII, in his encyclical about peace in the world, Pacem in Terris, 55 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:51,040 When addressing the entire human family, he said that true peace requires respect for the basic human rights, the right to truth, to freedom, to justice and to love. 56 00:09:51,040 --> 00:10:01,040 No one can be turned away from faith and from his convictions by violence. 57 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:10,040 We, the Bishops of Poland, proclaim the same truth on our homeland, 58 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:17,040 and today here, on the American soil, in Philadelphia. 59 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:31,040 We want, together with all of you, to fight for the great cause of the freedom of man and nations, 60 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:41,040 for the cross and resurrection of Christ, for his Eucharist. 61 00:10:41,040 --> 00:11:08,560 And now I return to the end of my homily in English. 62 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:18,520 Today we bring to this great community of Confessors of the Eucharistic Christ, gathered 63 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:28,480 at the Congress in Philadelphia, the whole hunger for freedom which permeates contemporary 64 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:34,880 man and all humanity. 65 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:46,320 In the name of Jesus Christ, we have the right and the duty to demand true freedom for men 66 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160 and for peoples. 67 00:11:49,160 --> 00:12:03,080 We therefore bring this hunger for real freedom and deposit it on this altar. 68 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:17,060 only a man, a priest, a bishop, but Christ himself is at this altar. He, who through 69 00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:31,220 our ministration offers his unique and eternal sacrifice. It is the sacrifice of all times. 70 00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:42,380 It is also the sacrifice of our 20th century of its last quarter. 71 00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:56,580 It contains everything of which the earthly existence of each man and of all people consists. 72 00:12:56,580 --> 00:13:08,920 the joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age. 73 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:25,760 Christ, the Son of God, comes to them all and to all of us, as he had once come to the 74 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:38,760 synagogue of Nazareth, and says, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. 75 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:53,640 If you dwell within the revelation I have brought, you shall know the truth. 76 00:13:53,640 --> 00:14:12,460 the truth will set you free. You are called to be free men. It was for liberty that Christ 77 00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:27,740 freed us.

We   5 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:50,240 ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son who lives and reigns with you   6 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,240 in the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.   7 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,240 Amen.   8 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,240 The first reading is taken from the book of the prophet Isaiah.   9 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,240 All you who are thirsty, come to the water.   10 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:23,240 You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat.   11 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Come without paying and without cost, drink wine and milk.   12 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:41,240 Why spend your money for what is not bread, your wages for what fails to satisfy?   13 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,480 Heed me, and you shall eat well.   14 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,540 You shall delight in rich fare.   15 00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:56,380 Come to me heedfully.   16 00:01:56,380 --> 00:02:00,260 Listen that you may have life.   17 00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:09,960 I will renew with you the everlasting covenant, the benefits assured to David.   18 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,960 This is the word of the Lord.   19 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,960 Thanks be to God.   20 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,960 The second reading is from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians.   21 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,960 Is not the cup of blessing we bless,   22 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,960 a sharing in the blood of Christ?   23 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,960 And is not the bread we break,   24 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240 sharing in the body of Christ.   25 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Because the loaf of bread is one,   26 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,760 we, many though we are, are one body,   27 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,240 for we all partake of the one loaf.   28 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,120 This is the word of the Lord.   29 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,960 Thanks be to God.   30 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint John.   31 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:16,800 Jesus said to his disciples, I have food to eat of which you do not know.   32 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Doing the will of him who sent me and bringing his work to completion is my food.   33 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,200 Do you not have a saying, four months more and it will be the harvest?   34 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Open your eyes and see, the fields are shining for the harvest.   35 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:39,820 The reaper already collects his wages and gathers a yield for eternal life.   36 00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:46,200 That sower and reaper may rejoice together. Here we have the saying   37 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:54,640 verified, one man sows another reaps. I sent you to reap what you had not worked   38 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,400 for. Others have done the labor and you have come in to their gain. This is the   39 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,400 gospel of the Lord.   40 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:17,080 Your Eminence the Archbishop Celebrant, your eminences, my brothers bishops,   41 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:27,320 priests, and deacons, devoted religious, dear faithful people, sisters and   42 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:41,600 brothers all in Christ. On Christmas Day 1803 a man was dying in the quarantine   43 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,340 hospital in Livorno, Italy. His name was William Seton. He was a merchant from New   44 00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:59,060 York. His wife, Elizabeth, was by his bedside. They were both very devout, pious,   45 00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:05,780 Anglican Episcopalians. They talked to one another about Christmas and the   46 00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:12,980 mystery of God's saving power made present in Jesus. Elizabeth records that   47 00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:18,860 William expressed a great desire to receive the sacrament on the great feast   48 00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:26,660 day, but there was no priest of their church present to celebrate the Eucharist.   49 00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:35,820 So Elizabeth poured a little wine in a glass, recited some Psalms and some of   50 00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:42,820 her favorite prayers over it, and both drank. It was for them an expression of faith in   51 00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:52,660 the Eucharist, and an earnest of the cup of blessing that brings unity and peace between   52 00:05:53,220 --> 00:06:00,020 God and his people, and builds up his family in joyful hope.   53 00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:07,900 This touching scene tells us a lot about St. Elizabeth Seton.   54 00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:15,720 It speaks of faith, of appreciation for sacrament, of understanding of ministry as service to   55 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:23,140 others shaped by the circumstances of time and place.   56 00:06:23,140 --> 00:06:27,460 Above all, it speaks of Elizabeth's ingenuity   57 00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:32,460 and religious determination to do everything in her power   58 00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:37,540 to respond to the deepest needs of other persons.   59 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,900 Elizabeth's action says something especially significant   60 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:46,540 to people who are trying to preserve   61 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:49,940 what is essential to Christian well-being   62 00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:57,760 by adapting rites and ministries to cultural and intellectual patterns and to the urgent   63 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,620 demands of the present time.   64 00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:09,620 The hunger for Jesus in the sacrament of the Eucharist was not a new experience for Elizabeth   65 00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:11,540 Seton.   66 00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:17,180 In a letter to her sister-in-law, Rebecca, she recalled her attitude to receiving Holy   67 00:07:17,180 --> 00:07:21,140 communion when she was a young girl.   68 00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:24,900 Remember how we were laughed at, she said,   69 00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:27,100 for running from one church to another,   70 00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:33,660 sacrament Sundays, that we might receive as often as we could.   71 00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:37,020 It was while she was in Italy, in a futile effort   72 00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:40,180 to restore the health of her dying husband,   73 00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:43,500 that Elizabeth had firsthand experience   74 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:46,940 of the Roman Catholic Church and its devotion   75 00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:49,860 to Jesus in the Eucharist.   76 00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,540 Some references in her letters from there are striking.   77 00:07:56,340 --> 00:07:59,500 How happy would we be, she wrote,   78 00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:03,620 if we believed what these dear souls believe,   79 00:08:03,620 --> 00:08:06,780 that they possess God in the sacrament,   80 00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:09,460 and that he remains in their churches   81 00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:13,140 and is carried to them when they were sick.   82 00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:17,440 The other day, in a moment of excessive distress,   83 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,340 I fell on my knees without thinking   84 00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:23,500 when the blessed sacrament passed by,   85 00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:27,380 and I cried in an agony to God to bless me.   86 00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:31,580 It was this hunger for a deeper   87 00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:34,260 and fuller Eucharistic sharing   88 00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:38,060 that led Elizabeth in 1805   89 00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:41,860 to become a member of the Roman Catholic Church.   90 00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:45,820 On her first communion day, she wrote in her diary,   91 00:08:45,820 --> 00:08:48,540 now let all go its round.   92 00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:51,300 I have received him.   93 00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:55,700 At last, God is mine, and I am his.   94 00:08:58,380 --> 00:09:01,260 The painful misunderstandings and opposition   95 00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:04,180 occasioned by her joining the Roman Catholic Church   96 00:09:04,180 --> 00:09:09,020 community in New York meant for her separation   97 00:09:09,020 --> 00:09:11,660 from family and friends.   98 00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:14,460 When the situation became intolerable,   99 00:09:14,460 --> 00:09:17,340 she welcomed an invitation from Father de Bourgh   100 00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:20,300 to go to Baltimore to work there   101 00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:22,040 with the Salpician fathers.   102 00:09:23,220 --> 00:09:26,380 The hunger for total dedication to Jesus   103 00:09:26,380 --> 00:09:30,780 in the service of others led to the opening of a school   104 00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:33,080 and the formation of a religious community.   105 00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:37,100 A newborn nation witnessed the birth   106 00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,520 of a system of Catholic education   107 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,720 that has been the glory and the mainstay of the Catholic Church in that country   108 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:53,520 for two centuries. When we place the words of today's gospel in their   109 00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:01,760 context, we find that the disciples returning to Jesus are surprised. They   110 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,760 find him in an unusual situation.   111 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:12,160 He is talking to a woman, a Samaritan, the kind of person   112 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,000 with whom nice people don't associate.   113 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,640 And what's more, he won't eat the lovely supper   114 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,380 that they've brought him.   115 00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:25,640 That's not the way they planned it at all.   116 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,040 And his only explanation is, I have food   117 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720 that you do not know about.   118 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:41,900 We, the disciples of 1976, come to meet St. Elizabeth Seton,   119 00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:44,840 this American woman who identified so closely   120 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,600 with the Lord in the Catholic Church.   121 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,560 But she's not quite the way we would have planned it either.   122 00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:59,080 Here she is, a person who was baptized Protestant   123 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,280 and educated in an atmosphere not at all sympathetic   124 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,760 to the Church of Rome, as they called it.   125 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,840 She is a widow in poor health herself   126 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,400 with several small children to care for.   127 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,500 She has no money and lacks even the moral support   128 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:19,580 of close family and friends.   129 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,960 You would hardly say that she is the typical candidate   130 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,320 for our novitiates.   131 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:42,320 Yet, she is destined to become the model, the leader, the inspiration, and the finest example of religious life in English-speaking North America.   132 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:52,320 How can it be? That's the question asked by all who are specially chosen by God.   133 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,320 That's the question our lady herself asked the angel.   134 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,240 How shall this be done?   135 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,100 And the answer to the question is given to us by Jesus   136 00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:07,540 in the sacred gospel.   137 00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:12,200 I have food that you do not know about.   138 00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:16,900 Doing the will of him who sent me   139 00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:20,520 and bringing it to completion is my food.   140 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:30,520 If devotion to the Eucharist was the powerful force that brought Elizabeth Seton closer to God in the Catholic Church,   141 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:40,520 the consuming passion of her life was to accomplish the will of God as perfectly as possible in all things.   142 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520 She had once written,   143 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,520 never by a free act of the mind would I regret his will."   144 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,520 She considered that total submission to God's providence,   145 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,520 even in times of great difficulty and suffering,   146 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,520 was to be her daily food.   147 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Writing to Archbishop Carroll, her friend and director,   148 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,520 she said,   149 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,520 I determine, dry and hard as my daily bread is,   150 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,720 to take it with as good a grace as possible.   151 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,560 When I carry it before the Lord sometimes,   152 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,080 he makes me laugh at myself   153 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,800 and asks me what other kind I would choose   154 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,140 than that which he himself   155 00:13:30,140 --> 00:13:33,040 and all his followers made use of.   156 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:45,040 I have food that you do not know of to accomplish the will of him who sent me.   157 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:55,040 But we ask, how can we know his will? What does he want us to do?   158 00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:01,040 Elizabeth's answer to this question came from two sources.   159 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,040 First of all, from the pages of the Gospels.   160 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,040 She knew them well.   161 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,040 It was an important part of her heritage   162 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,040 from her Protestant background.   163 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,040 The other clear expression of God's will for her   164 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,040 was simply the deepest and most urgent needs   165 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,040 of the people around her.   166 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,040 She expressed her apostolate   167 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:37,040 and the apostolate of her sisters in the rule that she gave them, simply in these words,   168 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:43,040 to render to our Lord Jesus Christ as a source and model of all charity,   169 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:52,040 every temporal and spiritual service in the person of the poor, the sick, prisoners, and others.   170 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:59,160 They were also, she told them, to honor the infancy of Jesus Christ in the young persons   171 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:05,760 whom they may be called upon to form in virtue, while they sow in their minds the seed of   172 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160 useful knowledge.   173 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:15,280 Her inspiring message to the Church of North America and to the whole world was a call   174 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,840 to deep Eucharistic piety and unquestioning acceptance   175 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:26,160 of God's will, and an unremitting dedication   176 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,800 to the poor of all descriptions, to the sick, invalids,   177 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,140 foundlings, orphans, and all others who were in need   178 00:15:36,140 --> 00:15:37,800 of solicitude and care.   179 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:48,800 Elizabeth Seton summed up her legacy to us in the last words that she addressed to her sisters.   180 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:55,800 Be children of the Church. Be children of the Church, she said to them.   181 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,800 What a beautiful expression.   182 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:06,800 Could we hear a clearer call to the Eucharist, which is the summit of the Church's activity   183 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,800 and the source from which all her power flows?   184 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,800 Do we need a further appeal to the apostolate of charity   185 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:22,800 when the joys and hopes, the griefs and the anxiety of the people of this age,   186 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,800 especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted,   187 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:34,800 are to find an echo among the children of the Church?   188 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:43,680 It's consoling for us to say we love the Church, that we love our diocese, our parish,   189 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,380 our religious community, that we love the Holy Father.   190 00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:52,980 Some may even say they love their bishop.   191 00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:59,140 But we have to bring it to a very personal and practical level.   192 00:16:59,140 --> 00:17:04,140 Isaiah is speaking to each one of us in the first reading.   193 00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:10,260 All you who are thirsty, come to the water.   194 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:13,900 Come receive grain and eat.   195 00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,540 Come without money and buy.   196 00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:22,580 Come to me poor and yet secure, the prophet says.   197 00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:26,500 Having nothing and possessing all things.   198 00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:33,500 Why spend your lives for what is not bread, for what fails to satisfy?   199 00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:37,500 Heed me and you will eat well.   200 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:43,500 And how shall we hear him and heed him if not in the cries of the needy?   201 00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:53,500 The children of the Church are gathered round the table of the Lord, we pray, in the office of Corpus Christi.   202 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:58,620 But we cannot expect to eat only with the pleasant and the peaceful.   203 00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:05,260 We must hear the insistent and disturbing voices of the lonely and the hungry and the   204 00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:07,100 abandoned.   205 00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:14,100 We cannot eat the bread of unity and drink the cup of covenant in peace while the family   206 00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:23,420 is divided, or the persons of another language or race are excluded, or the red man is reserved.   207 00:18:23,420 --> 00:18:37,420 or the migrant is locked out, or the alcoholic is shunned, or the aged are ignored, or the mental patient is forgotten.   208 00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:47,420 We cannot eat the bread and share the cup in peace when our sisters and brothers are abandoning our communities,   209 00:18:47,420 --> 00:18:54,920 whether they be religious communities or parishes, because they cannot find among   210 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:01,460 the children of the Church the warmth and understanding that ought to support   211 00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:09,600 and sustain their lives. We must hear them say, in the streets and crossings I   212 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:17,080 sought him whom my heart loves. I sought him but did not find him. Where were we?   213 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:25,800 when the lonely, the frustrated, the disillusioned were seeking and looking.   214 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:33,120 To be children of the Church means more than a vague sense of loyalty, more than   215 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:39,760 a satisfying meal at the table of the Lord.

So then, my dearly beloved, obedient as always to my urging,   46 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:23,300 Work with anxious concern to achieve your salvation,   47 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,820 not only when I happen to be with you,   48 00:06:28,820 --> 00:06:32,480 but all the more now that I am absent.   49 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,680 It is God who in his goodness will toward you,   50 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,680 begets in you any measure of desire or achievement.   51 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,680 our achievement.   52 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,680 And this is the word of the Lord.   53 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,680 Thanks be to God.   54 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,680 My brothers and sisters, may the Lord be with you all.   55 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,680 And also with you.   56 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,680 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.   57 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Glory to you, Lord.   58 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:37,480 If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.   59 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:44,640 Jesus said to his disciples, I solemnly assure you,   60 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,640 unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies,   61 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,000 it remains just a grain of wheat.   62 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000 But if it dies, it produces much fruit.   63 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,200 The man who loves his life loses it,   64 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,320 while the man who hates his life in this world   65 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,840 preserves it to eternal life.   66 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,480 If anyone would serve me, let him follow me.   67 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,600 Where I am, there will my servant be.   68 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:36,640 Anyone who serves me, the Father will honor.   69 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640 And this, my brothers and sisters,   70 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,920 is the gospel of the Lord.   71 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,880 Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ.   72 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,600 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,   73 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,600 Whom shall I send?   74 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,600 And who shall go for us?   75 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:22,600 And I said, Lo, here am I. Send me.   76 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,600 I take these words from the book of Isaiah,   77 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,240 6th chapter, 8th verse.   78 00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:36,440 Your Eminence Cardinal Knox,   79 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,440 legate of our Holy Father, Pope Paul.   80 00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:44,740 Your Eminence Cardinal Crowell,   81 00:09:44,740 --> 00:09:46,740 eminences,   82 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,120 excellencies,   83 00:09:51,820 --> 00:09:53,820 brethren in the priesthood,   84 00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:56,820 very dear sisters,   85 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 and friends all in Christ.   86 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Everyone present at this meeting   87 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,600 has at one time or another   88 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,600 had the experience described by the prophet Isaiah.   89 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,600 Every person, as a matter of fact,   90 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,600 came into existence   91 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:32,600 precisely in response to a call from God.   92 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:42,600 Life is a mission from God himself.   93 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:51,600 Certainly all priests and religious may well recall the very moment   94 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,600 of their reply to God's question,   95 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,600 who shall go for us?   96 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,600 Here am I.   97 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,600 Send me.   98 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,600 But this is true of every way of life,   99 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,600 within which one responds to the Spirit   100 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:25,600 and places oneself in whatever form of service of God and man,   101 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,600 at the disposition of the Holy Spirit.   102 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Every life, I repeat, is a vocation,   103 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,600 a response to a mission,   104 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:58,520 A call which came from the very spirit and providential surveillance of God.   105 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:09,440 One is no longer certain that the appreciation of this truth is as vital and as profound   106 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:17,320 at the moment as once it was among Christians.   107 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:27,480 The sense of vocation itself, no matter to what mission or form of life and loving service   108 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:39,480 it may find expression, seems to have been paralyzed in our increasingly standardized,   109 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:51,640 impersonal, automated, and regimented culture, where professional consultors, not to say   110 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:59,960 computing machines and cybernetics have so often replaced spiritual direction   111 00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:17,320 and personal self-analysis, self-study, and like means of discovering the will   112 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:29,680 of God. There is not so much of the sense that prompts one spontaneously to say   113 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:41,600 with conscious personal self-dedication, here am I, send me, to the voice of the   114 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:51,240 Lord asking, whom shall I send and who will go for us?   115 00:13:51,640 --> 00:14:04,320 So programmed has our society become. I have suggested that the very nature of   116 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:10,200 of our present culture tends to paralyze the sense   117 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:18,460 of personal vocation, of response to a divine mission   118 00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:28,280 that transcends the regimented, the out automated,   119 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,280 and the depersonalized aspects of our civilization.   120 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,920 But there is a more embarrassing consideration.   121 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,960 Perhaps we priests and religious   122 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,320 have ourselves in a subtle but real way   123 00:14:53,320 --> 00:15:03,120 contributed to the paralysis and limitation of the sense of vocation,   124 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:11,520 individual, personal, and distinctive among our young people.   125 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:17,520 We have tended to confine the very word vocation   126 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:27,440 to our particular form of seeking God's will and serving both the Spirit and our neighbor.   127 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:37,760 When diocesan statistics are published, for example, the word vocation usually means   128 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:46,460 means the number of those in the seminary or in the convent.   129 00:15:46,460 --> 00:16:00,060 It no longer seems to me that every life in the diocese is or should be a vocation.   130 00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:15,380 response to a divine call to fulfillment of a providential mission from God himself.   131 00:16:15,380 --> 00:16:27,420 It was not always so among people who believed in God and his holy providence.   132 00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:37,780 Saint Joan of Arc, for example, knew she had a vocation and proclaimed it vigorously and   133 00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:42,420 unashamedly, paid for it with her life.   134 00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:54,620 She knew that she was sent by God as much as any priest or religious.   135 00:16:54,620 --> 00:17:03,320 And she was unshakable in her conviction that her vocation involved, among other things,   136 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:15,160 a vow of virginity, the life of the battlefield, and the uncompromising recall to his sense   137 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,840 of duty of a stupid king.   138 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Frederick Orsinan knew perfectly well that he was a man with a mission.   139 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:37,720 A mission to teach in an infidel university.   140 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:47,680 A vocation to bear witness to the faith in an unbelieving generation.   141 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:56,600 and a call from God to the personal service of the poor.   142 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,760 Saint Catherine of Siena was obsessed   143 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,440 by her sense of vocation.   144 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,440 So was Saint Monica, as the mother   145 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,040 of a genius who was off on the wrong track   146 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,800 and whom she straightened out.   147 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:25,240 So were the hosts of laymen and laywomen,   148 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:32,520 who as lovers and as parents, as poets and scientists,   149 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,800 as persons in political life, or in the humblest   150 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,600 of temporal pursuits, were convinced   151 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:54,560 that they were people with a mission within which they found themselves because they had   152 00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:02,360 heard the voice of God saying, whom shall I send?   153 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,840 Who will go for us?   154 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,840 to which, in the particular circumstances of their lives,   155 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,040 they had replied, here am I, send me.   156 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,480 It used to be said, and not so very many years ago,   157 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,640 that marriages were made in heaven.   158 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:41,600 This was another way of saying that they involved a divine vocation, the very sense of which   159 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:52,240 kept them permanent commitments, holy and fruitful forms of service of the spirit and   160 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,480 of the race.   161 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:05,480 People who said such things understood better than the self-excusing Adam the meaning of   162 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:12,040 the line, The woman thou didst give me.   163 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:24,680 And they knew that their marriage was literally a vocation from God with eternal implications   164 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:35,120 and immortal longings that far transcended the passions of the moment or the superficial   165 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:46,280 interests that are no longer likely to preserve fidelity and attachment when all passion is   166 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,200 spent.   167 00:20:50,200 --> 00:21:01,600 the concept of vocation has been replaced by the more pretentious concept of professional   168 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:14,600 excellence. If this were not true, more doctors would take night calls.

He taught in their synagogues, he   82 00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:31,540 proclaimed the good news of God's reign, and he cured every sickness and disease.   83 00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:36,940 At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity.   84 00:08:36,940 --> 00:08:43,100 They were lying prostrate from exhaustion, like sheep without a shepherd.   85 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:50,620 He said to his disciples, the harvest is good, but laborers are scarce.   86 00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:57,340 Beg the harvest master to send out laborers to gather his harvest.   87 00:08:57,340 --> 00:09:03,940 Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority to expel unclean spirits   88 00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:08,740 and to cure sickness and disease of every kind.   89 00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:11,180 This is the Gospel of the Lord.   90 00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:23,380 Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.   91 00:09:23,380 --> 00:09:26,380 as they spotlight the tableaus.   92 00:09:26,380 --> 00:09:31,380 Our first tableau speaks of the indomitable love of Christ.   93 00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:47,480 Who will separate us from the love of Christ?   94 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:58,480 trial, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger of the sword.   95 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:06,480 Scripture says, for your sake we are being slain all the day long.   96 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,480 We are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered.   97 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:19,920 Yet, in all this, we are more than conquerors because of him who loves us.   98 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:28,600 I am certain that neither death nor life, angels nor principalities, the present nor   99 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:37,400 the future, power, height nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us   100 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,480 from the love of God that comes to us in Christ Jesus, our Lord.   101 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,480 The first beatitude concerns the poor in spirit.   102 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,680 Tableau shows St. Francis, the poor man of Assisi,   103 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:12,880 standing before the bishop, his father, and the townspeople.   104 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,720 He had stripped himself of his clothes   105 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,840 and returned them to his father.   106 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,840 He wished to possess nothing but God, for the poor in spirit,   107 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,720 God is always enough.   108 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:43,680 The tableau for the fourth beatitude shows concerned people of today who hunger and thirst   109 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:55,460 for justice. They cry out for the lives of the unborn who cannot plead for themselves.   110 00:11:57,180 --> 00:12:04,180 They pray that the Supreme Court will tip the scales of justice in the baby's and God's   111 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:15,180 in God's direction.   112 00:12:15,180 --> 00:12:23,380 The sixth beatitude exemplifies the clean in heart achieved by those who practice the   113 00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:30,140 seven virtues in God's name and the twelve fruits of the Holy Spirit.   114 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:34,220 The white worn by the angels and the blessed virgin   115 00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:38,680 represents the purity of heart of those who see God   116 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:42,260 and continue to live with him in happiness forever.   117 00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:12,020 My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, life is for living.   118 00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:17,100 That's the message that Christ brought to us.   119 00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:21,740 Life's for living and living to the full.   120 00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:30,140 Christ said that he came that man might of life and have it more abundantly.   121 00:13:30,140 --> 00:13:38,180 And precisely because he takes with the utmost seriousness the claim that Jesus made at the   122 00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:46,340 testing point of his life, that his kingdom is not of this world, the Christian, and particularly   123 00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:56,660 the young Christian should see a new dimension to history and to present day living. There's   124 00:13:56,660 --> 00:14:05,080 no corner of man's darkness beyond Christ's power to illuminate. There's no future point   125 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:14,640 of history at which he will still not be coming to meet man and heal him of his wounds. And   126 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:21,680 This is the victory that we proclaim when we celebrate the Eucharist in the words,   127 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.   128 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Our faith, the faith that we profess, is more than a set of beliefs.   129 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,240 It is a living bond with someone whose impact on human history   130 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,040 is such that it has not only never been surpassed,   131 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,000 it has never been approached.   132 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,360 And this is what motivates the Christian.   133 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,440 This is what should motivate the follower of Christ.   134 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,000 We read in the Acts of the Apostles,   135 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,040 that book of the New Testament that tells us   136 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,960 the years after Pentecost.   137 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,000 We read in that book of the enthusiasm,   138 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,100 the uncontainable enthusiasm of the apostles   139 00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,740 to tell the world about Christ   140 00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:22,100 after that first Pentecost Sunday.   141 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,640 And that's the enthusiasm that we,   142 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,680 as Christians, should have.   143 00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:33,040 Too many of us, too many of us today,   144 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,920 are inclined to be shy about our religious beliefs.   145 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,520 Too many of us are inclined to hide   146 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,560 the beliefs that are within us.   147 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,640 We must be prepared, in St. Paul's words,   148 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,800 to put on Christ.   149 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,120 We must be prepared to live our lives   150 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,600 in a manner that will inspire those   151 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,080 who have not got faith,   152 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,480 or who have no faith, to be curious,   153 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,240 to be inquiring and to ask,   154 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,920 what has he got that I haven't got?   155 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,040 Our Christian lives should and must be lived to the full,   156 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,640 and we must pray continually for a fuller   157 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,700 and a deeper understanding of our faith.   158 00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:27,320 We must continually endeavor to discover   159 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,840 what Christ wants of us, what Christ wants of you,   160 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,040 what he wants of me.   161 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:42,120 In the Eucharistic meal that we are now privileged to share, we can receive the nourishment,   162 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:51,380 the strength to go on and be other Christ, to be witnesses to Christ in the world.   163 00:16:51,380 --> 00:17:00,000 As young people today, you live in a world that has lost its way, a world which to a   164 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,640 a large extent has lost sight of Christ in the quest for wealth, in the quest for pleasure,   165 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:14,320 in the quest for power. You should never have an inferiority complex about having the title   166 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:22,640 Christian. You should consider it a privilege. The world is waiting for you. The modern world   167 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,640 has tried every wrong answer to the meaning of life,   168 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,460 and it is ready for the right answer.   169 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,760 You yourselves have the gift, the gift of faith,   170 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040 for which you must be thankful,   171 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,180 because by having the faith, you have a route map.   172 00:17:43,140 --> 00:17:46,880 You have a way through life, a way of living life,   173 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,720 a way of understanding life that gives meaning to life,   174 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,640 that gives purpose to life,   175 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,880 that gives you an understanding of death.   176 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,160 I am the way, the truth, and the life.   177 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,320 We live today in an escapist world,   178 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,520 a world that vainly seeks satisfaction   179 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,200 and meaning and fulfillment in worldly things,   180 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,680 in the things of man rather than the things of God.   181 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,120 But these things do not bring lasting satisfaction.   182 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,720 or lasting happiness.   183 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,160 Wealth is sought after as the key to all the world's problems.   184 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,880 But many of the most wealthy people in the world are   185 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,900 also some of the most unhappy people in the world.   186 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,620 Escape is sought on alcohol, it's sought on drugs, in sexual promiscuity.   187 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,160 They scream at us from every book stand, from every billboard, from every theater canopy.   188 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:59,860 And as a result, we have an enormous worldwide breakdown of growth in alcoholism, drug addiction,   189 00:18:59,860 --> 00:19:06,740 suicide, broken marriages, unwanted and neglected children, and all the unhappiness that results   190 00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:09,340 from these phenomena.   191 00:19:09,340 --> 00:19:17,940 The quest for worldly power has led men to wage war, to kill, to maim, to destroy, and   192 00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:20,940 to break bodies and to shatter minds.   193 00:19:20,940 --> 00:19:24,940 The quest for wealth, pleasure, power   194 00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:27,940 has caused misery and it has caused suffering   195 00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:29,940 in this world.   196 00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:31,940 And still men seek these things   197 00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:34,940 and still men encourage others   198 00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:36,940 to do likewise.   199 00:19:36,940 --> 00:19:41,940 Surely these cannot be the keys to life.   200 00:19:41,940 --> 00:19:45,940 Surely this cannot be living life.   201 00:19:45,940 --> 00:19:52,940 life. The quest of these leads to the destruction of life. There is another world, a world that   202 00:19:55,260 --> 00:20:01,060 some of you perhaps may have had the privilege of hearing described yesterday by Mother Teresa   203 00:20:01,060 --> 00:20:08,060 of Calcutta in that inspiring and moving talk she gave at the Convention Centre. The other   204 00:20:08,060 --> 00:20:15,060 center, the other world, the world of the poor, the world of the oppressed, the world   205 00:20:15,780 --> 00:20:22,780 of the deprived, of the handicapped, that men in today's world, in their quest for wealth,   206 00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:31,500 pleasure or power, ignore and trample on and make to suffer more. Happiness sought for   207 00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:36,500 Happiness sought for its own sake never comes.   208 00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:44,500 Happiness can only be found as a by-product of doing what God created us for,   209 00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:49,500 and by living our lives as God meant us to live them.   210 00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:54,500 Happiness is found in following the Maker's instructions.   211 00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:59,500 The kingdom of happiness cannot be taken by storm.   212 00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:08,180 I would ask you, as young people today, what world do you choose?   213 00:21:08,180 --> 00:21:14,300 Do you want to serve or do you want to be served?   214 00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:22,740 Are you also, like so many others, going to ignore the Samaritan lying at the roadside?   215 00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:28,300 Actually the only way of living life is the Christian way.   216 00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,680 It gives meaning to life.   217 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:37,300 It gives the person living that life the satisfaction, the satisfaction of knowing that he is doing   218 00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:40,260 what his Creator meant him to do.   219 00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:42,620 It gives one a purpose.   220 00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:44,540 Man needs a creed.   221 00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:46,140 He needs something to follow.   222 00:21:46,140 --> 00:21:52,940 And the Church offers this to you and to me.   223 00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:56,880 Christ offered this to the Church.   224 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Each one of you, as young people here today, as youth leaders in this world of ours, can   225 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,360 make an impact on your own particular world, small though it may be, whether it be in the   226 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:17,740 home, your own home, or high school, or university campus, or college, perhaps it   227 00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:22,980 might be in an industrial plant or office. Each one of you can be another   228 00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:29,020 Christ because it's not enough that the good news of the gospel be proclaimed   229 00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:36,820 only in liturgical assemblies or on pulpits. God calls man in the world, man   230 00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:41,000 man in the mammoth industrial plant, man in the university, man in the inner city, man   231 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,540 in the suburban area.   232 00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:52,640 God speaks to man in Scripture, but he must also speak to men through other Christs who   233 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:59,640 proclaim by their lives and the witness that they give that God has entered human history   234 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:05,500 and that God can so change a man by his spirit that he lives in the love of Christ, which   235 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:09,420 which knows how to serve and work in close union   236 00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:14,800 with others for goals which are truly human.   237 00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,440 There was an Indian leader called Mahatma Gandhi.   238 00:23:21,340 --> 00:23:23,900 He was a man of great sanctity.   239 00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,820 He was a Hindu.   240 00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:28,700 He was a man who had a great interest   241 00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:32,720 and a great attraction to Christ's teachings,   242 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,920 great love for Christ.   243 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,140 And one of the things that always puzzled him and disenchanted him to some extent was   244 00:23:40,140 --> 00:23:46,200 that he could never see Christ in the Christians he met.   245 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:52,100 And he's not the only one who has sometimes felt the same.   246 00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:59,520 There are many today who sincerely seek a life of communion and service and search in   247 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:06,520 vain for proofs that Christianity makes this life possible because many of their fellow   248 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:13,840 workers, their colleagues, their friends who are Christians show no apparent concern for   249 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:21,500 bettering this city, this country, this world which according to their faith God loved enough   250 00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:29,500 to send his own son. Those with failing faith or no faith know that Christ taught his disciples   251 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,800 disciples that mutual love and unity were to be the recognizable signs of their belonging   252 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:44,220 to Him. Yet they meet too many Christians who cannot get along together, or work together,   253 00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:53,880 or who live unconcerned in the midst of crying social injustice or poverty. I ask you, as   254 00:24:53,880 --> 00:25:03,160 young Christians today to opt for Christ and for his fuller life. Opting for Christ means   255 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:11,800 serving rather than being served. It means giving rather than getting. Many of you are   256 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:18,140 at the start of life. You wonder how you'll spend your life. Spend it as you'd spend money.   257 00:25:18,140 --> 00:25:25,420 it to get something better. Give it away in order to get something better. Christian love   258 00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:32,940 is a love of self-giving. So I give you today a slogan for Christian living, a Christian   259 00:25:32,940 --> 00:25:40,900 slogan for youth, and that slogan is, living is giving. This is the slogan of Christ, for   260 00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:46,940 Christ has said, it is a better thing to give than to receive.   261 00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:51,180 Many of you are members of the Scouting Program   262 00:25:51,180 --> 00:25:56,420 here in the United States and other parts of the world.   263 00:25:56,420 --> 00:26:00,180 And I feel very proud that amongst the people   264 00:26:00,180 --> 00:26:02,980 here are a group of Scouts from my own diocese   265 00:26:02,980 --> 00:26:06,140 from Derry in Ireland.   266 00:26:06,140 --> 00:26:11,140 The Scouting Program is an example of Christian self-giving.   267 00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:17,220 Scouting is good because it does not pamper young people.   268 00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:20,040 It treats them as adults.   269 00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:22,700 It asks something of them.   270 00:26:23,860 --> 00:26:27,020 The recreation Scouting Movement offers   271 00:26:27,020 --> 00:26:30,320 is recreation in the real sense.   272 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,420 It makes a man out of a boy.   273 00:26:32,420 --> 00:26:35,900 It recreates them, creates them anew.   274 00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:39,900 And Scouting offers you a recipe for living.   275 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,900 It offers you a challenge, an exciting challenge.   276 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,900 And it offers you a Christian formation.   277 00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:48,900 It offers you companionship and comradeship.   278 00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:52,900 It offers you adventure and basic skills.   279 00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:56,900 It gives you an opportunity to come closer to nature,   280 00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:01,900 to appreciate the beauty and the wonder of God's creation in the fields,   281 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:06,340 in the mountains, in the forests, in the streams.   282 00:27:06,340 --> 00:27:13,660 And most of all, it teaches you to fend for yourselves and to help others as best you   283 00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:14,660 can.   284 00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:25,940 In the world of today, too many young people are given too much and asked for too little.   285 00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:30,460 Some parents pander to their child's every little need.   286 00:27:30,460 --> 00:27:35,500 And such children may well grow up into a gimme generation.   287 00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:38,140 Gimme this, gimme that.   288 00:27:38,140 --> 00:27:40,380 Always asking, never giving.   289 00:27:40,380 --> 00:27:45,820 A generation that wants to be given everything and is prepared to give nothing.   290 00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:48,980 A generation that is unwilling to share.   291 00:27:48,980 --> 00:27:54,180 A generation that is filled with selfishness, which is one of the great evils in the modern   292 00:27:54,180 --> 00:27:55,860 world.   293 00:27:55,860 --> 00:28:03,860 Scouting will widen your vision in these areas.   294 00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:12,100 It will help you during these important formative years of your lives to get your priorities   295 00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:16,340 right as citizens and as Christians.   296 00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:22,060 Scouting can instill in young people true Christian values that can help you in later   297 00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:29,060 life to be good Christians and good citizens. Be loyal to your scouting ideals. You'll be   298 00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:36,580 better people for it. I come from Ireland and as you know, St. Patrick is our national   299 00:28:38,460 --> 00:28:44,700 apostle. St. Patrick's Day in fact is much more honoured and observed here in the United   300 00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:51,340 States than it is at home in Ireland. I remember once being here in the month of March and   301 00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:54,700 the United States seemed to be submerged in a sea of green,   302 00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:56,580 with large green shamrocks sprouting   303 00:28:56,580 --> 00:28:59,620 from every school window.   304 00:28:59,620 --> 00:29:03,660 Patrick was a courageous man.   305 00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:06,300 And I'm convinced that had there been scouts   306 00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,900 since in Patrick's time, he would have been   307 00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:12,540 a most enthusiastic boy scout.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,460 Patrick won a great number of merit badges or proficiency badges too. Patrick was a man   2 00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:18,160 of great faith, had strong feet. He travelled all over the island of Ireland, preaching   3 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,320 and teaching by word and by example, the good news, the gospel of Christ. He baptised tens   4 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,240 of thousands of people. He offered the sacrifice of the Eucharist as we are doing now, and   5 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,760 he offered it on the hillsides, the mountainsides, in the palaces of the high kings, and in the   6 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:47,140 straw huts of serfs. The age we live in today prefers action to adoration, and prefers protest   7 00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:55,120 to prayer. But it is impossible to have worthwhile action without adoration. It is impossible   8 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,540 to have effective protest without prayer,   9 00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:02,260 as Martin Luther King so dramatically exemplified   10 00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:03,160 in this country.   11 00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:08,900 Today, it is worth remembering that St. Patrick,   12 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,660 that man of action, effective action,   13 00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:14,500 was above all a man of prayer.   14 00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:19,980 A man who wrote of himself in his confessions,   15 00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:24,020 the love of God and the fear of him increased more and more,   16 00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:27,540 and my faith grew, and my spirit was stirred up,   17 00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:32,280 so that in a single day, I prayed as often as 100 times,   18 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,020 and by night, almost as frequently,   19 00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:37,620 while I was in the woods or in the mountains.   20 00:01:39,460 --> 00:01:43,340 Patrick was, above all, a man of prayer.   21 00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:47,940 And it is good to remember that the last, great,   22 00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:52,260 and most successful non-violent revolution in Ireland   23 00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:56,180 was the work of Patrick, single-handed.   24 00:01:56,180 --> 00:02:00,620 So Patrick would have been a fine Scout.   25 00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:05,020 Scouts should be fine St. Patrick's.   26 00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:07,500 They should be proud of their nation.   27 00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,100 They should be proud of their faith.   28 00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:15,420 And they should live up to both those titles.   29 00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:18,940 Today, at the Eucharistic Congress,   30 00:02:18,940 --> 00:02:23,340 is a day of prayer for religious vocations   31 00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:26,300 and religious commitment by priests   32 00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:29,620 and religious of the world.   33 00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:33,020 And I would ask each one of you young people   34 00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:36,900 here present, boys and girls, I would   35 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:40,900 ask you during this mass and during this week   36 00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:43,820 to pray for those intentions.   37 00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:46,420 And I would ask you on the occasion of this Congress   38 00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:50,420 to do more than that.   39 00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:52,820 I would ask you to consider seriously   40 00:02:52,820 --> 00:02:56,660 whether you would like to serve God,   41 00:02:56,660 --> 00:02:59,220 the Church, and your fellow man   42 00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:04,820 in a special manner in the priesthood or religious life.   43 00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:10,180 If you feel that God might be calling you   44 00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:14,500 to dedicate yourselves to him in a special manner,   45 00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:16,500 Don't be frightened about it.   46 00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:19,620 Don't think you're going a little strange.   47 00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:22,340 Pray about it.   48 00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:26,420 Discuss it with somebody, perhaps your father or your mother,   49 00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:30,420 perhaps a priest whom you know and who knows you.   50 00:03:31,540 --> 00:03:37,380 However, I would ask you never to dismiss a feeling of this kind with the remark,   51 00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,500 me, a priest, me, a religious sister.   52 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:42,660 Never.   53 00:03:42,660 --> 00:03:51,140 never dismiss it in that way. The Church needs people and needs them badly to come forward   54 00:03:51,860 --> 00:04:00,900 and to serve the Church, God and their fellow man as priests and sisters. Life in the priesthood   55 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:08,820 is a good life, it's a challenging life, it's a stimulating life. I've been a priest for almost   56 00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:16,260 19 years and I can thoroughly recommend it. It's a wonderful privilege to be able to serve God,   57 00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:22,500 the Church and one's fellow man in this manner, not to speak of the privilege it is   58 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:31,380 to of offering the Eucharist. Living today is a matter of choosing sides.   59 00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:36,380 Which side do you choose to be on?   60 00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:40,380 In the world of today, there are the enemies of Jesus   61 00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:43,380 and there are the friends of Jesus.   62 00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:49,380 Just as Jesus, whilst he was on earth, had his friends and his enemies.   63 00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:53,380 We've all met the enemies of Jesus.   64 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:56,380 We have at times become afraid of them.   65 00:04:56,380 --> 00:05:00,380 They have power, they have energy, they have enormous ambition.   66 00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:04,380 their spirit does not warm or kindle.   67 00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:08,380 It terrifies us because it has a flair for disorder,   68 00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:12,380 destruction and death.   69 00:05:12,380 --> 00:05:15,380 It can work havoc in a community.   70 00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:19,380 It can bring and has brought war to the world.   71 00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:24,380 It does not create or recreate, but tears down and destroys.   72 00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:28,380 And history so often is the story of these men,   73 00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:34,420 and nations of the world bear the scars of their madness and their pathology.   74 00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:40,740 They are men possessed of power to dominate a population in what it says,   75 00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:47,000 in what they say, think, read or watch. Their spirit is in the world, make no   76 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,940 mistake about it. It does not lead to love of life. Its only conclusion is   77 00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:59,820 death and Jesus was a victim of its malice. But Jesus too has his friends and   78 00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:07,860 we too must be men of spirit. Death is all around us in the world. Human life is   79 00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:16,460 cheap. To believe in death is natural and human, but to believe in resurrection is   80 00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:17,620 is Christian.   81 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,660 The Spirit possessed the apostles   82 00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:24,900 and made them equal to every adversity.   83 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,840 And the Spirit can possess us too, you and me,   84 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:34,740 if we allow it and if we are sufficiently generous.   85 00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:38,880 We cannot opt out, we cannot drop out.   86 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,820 We must opt in, for we believe in a Spirit   87 00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:46,580 that can renew the face of a very stubborn earth.   88 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,520 This then is your challenge as young people,   89 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,200 members of the Scouting Movement and other youth groups,   90 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,020 this is your challenge today.   91 00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:00,840 Live up to that challenge.   92 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:05,080 Life is for living and living to the full.   93 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,920 Living is giving.   94 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,000 Be generous, be good to others,   95 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,200 live your faith, and live it to the full.   96 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,760 And by doing so, you'll find meaning in your lives.   97 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,760 You'll find purpose in your lives,   98 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,640 and you'll inspire others to find meaning in theirs.   99 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,720 In the name of the Father, and of the Son,   100 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,120 and of the Holy Spirit, amen.   101 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,580 God our father sent his son to bring salvation to people of every time place and condition   102 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,640 through prayer and openness to his message   103 00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:54,720 Salvation and service can spread to all the world   104 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,520 Our response to the petitions   105 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,940 Satisfy the hungers of your family   106 00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:10,940 That more men and women may give their lives to proclaim the gospel to the people of our time,   107 00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:12,940 we pray to you, Lord.   108 00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:15,940 Satisfy the hungers of your family.   109 00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:21,940 That the Christian community may have leaders who reflect Jesus' wisdom and love,   110 00:08:21,940 --> 00:08:25,940 especially for the lowly, we pray to you, Lord.   111 00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:28,940 Satisfy the hungers of your family.   112 00:08:28,940 --> 00:08:38,940 That more young people may consider the priesthood and religious life important vocations in God's eyes and people's estimation.   113 00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:40,940 We pray to you, Lord,   114 00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:43,940 Satisfy the hungers of your family.   115 00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:49,940 As we share the true bread from heaven, may we share the good things of life with others.   116 00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:51,940 We pray to you, Lord,   117 00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:54,940 Satisfy the hungers of your family.   118 00:08:54,940 --> 00:09:01,180 family.

How blessed   39 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,040 are the poor in spirit, the reign of God is theirs.   40 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Blessed too are the sorrowing,   41 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,160 they shall be consoled. Blessed   42 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Blessed are the lowly, they shall inherit the land.   43 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness,   44 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640 they shall have their fill.   45 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,800 Blessed are they who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs.   46 00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:18,320 Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall see God.   47 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,980 Blessed too are the peacemakers,   48 00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:23,720 they shall be called sons of God.   49 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,320 Blessed are those persecuted for holiness' sake.   50 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,160 The reign of God is theirs.   51 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you   52 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,680 and utter every kind of slander against you because of me.   53 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,560 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward in heaven is great.   54 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,200 This is the gospel of the Lord.   55 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,280 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.   56 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,480 Your Eminence Cardinal Miranda,   57 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,840 my dear brother bishops and priests,   58 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:06,080 my dear brothers and sisters in Christ,   59 00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:09,880 in the year 1910,   60 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,260 the First Eucharistic Congress of North America   61 00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:17,420 was held in Montreal, the city of my birth,   62 00:05:17,420 --> 00:05:21,760 this year played host to another international event of a somewhat   63 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,580 different caliber. Notable among the distinguished prelates of the United   64 00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:31,460 States were Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore and Archbishop O'Connell of   65 00:05:31,460 --> 00:05:37,240 Boston who was created Cardinal a few months later. This of course for better   66 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,280 or for worse was before the days of Episcopal conferences and democratic   67 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:47,300 elections which have since permitted bishops of little importance to be   68 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:52,900 thrust into positions of responsibility and above all of representational dimensions.   69 00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:57,940 I feel somewhat inadequate to be here as the President of the Canadian Catholic Conference   70 00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:02,900 of Bishops knowing full well that I cannot live up to the precedents set in 1910.   71 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:10,100 But other Canadians, both French and English-speaking, et ceux d'y a des compatriotes francophones,   72 00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:16,220 je les salue dans leur langue, are here to pick up the slack and since the topic assigned to me   73 00:06:16,220 --> 00:06:21,020 as holiness or sanctity, perhaps yours,   74 00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:23,580 will be up to listening with simplicity   75 00:06:23,580 --> 00:06:26,180 to my attempt at a thoughtful presentation   76 00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:27,220 of the word of God.   77 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,820 Everything said and done, that word is greater   78 00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:32,200 than all the messengers,   79 00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:35,860 and the medium is of little importance.   80 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,060 As you know, the theme of our Congress   81 00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:42,820 is the hunger in the hearts of men,   82 00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:45,540 particularly in the context of the Eucharist.   83 00:06:46,220 --> 00:06:49,180 Here we are gathered to give thanks to the Father   84 00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:50,980 for the graces which have been lavished   85 00:06:50,980 --> 00:06:54,000 upon the people of the Americas, especially   86 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,580 on those who have been chosen to lead us to the truth in Him   87 00:06:58,580 --> 00:07:01,140 and whose lives have been singled out   88 00:07:01,140 --> 00:07:05,700 by the Church through beatification or canonization.   89 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,780 And we are here also to beseech the Lord   90 00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:14,820 that he continue to send to us his grace and his strength.   91 00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:16,960 I would like to warn you from the beginning   92 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,700 against a familiar but all too prevalent trap.   93 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:23,600 It is a tendency which too many of us   94 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:29,200 experience that when we hear the word sanctity or holiness,   95 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,780 we shrug our shoulders and we say, well, I'm no saint.   96 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:38,600 And we seem to think that we've closed the issue   97 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160 or that we have escaped a threat, which is perhaps   98 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,080 even more pertinent.   99 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,020 Non-involvement is a very faulty attitude   100 00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:49,400 when it comes to holiness, as well as   101 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,620 when it comes to accidents or difficulties of a civic nature.   102 00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:58,140 We have been lured by worldly philosophy   103 00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:01,820 into a false image of saints, as if they were   104 00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:06,540 some sort of pallid creatures, in some way divorced   105 00:08:06,540 --> 00:08:09,220 from the concerns, the vicissitudes,   106 00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:13,480 to the involvements of normal people like ourselves.   107 00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:18,420 Nothing, nothing could be farther from the truth.   108 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,800 The saints were the realest of people.   109 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,060 We might even say the most human of humanity.   110 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,680 I am not, of course, against the practice of the church   111 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,180 of signaling out certain men and women   112 00:08:36,180 --> 00:08:40,180 for canonization of beatification,   113 00:08:40,180 --> 00:08:43,520 but it would be wrong to make too much of a distinction   114 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,380 as if the spirit which moved them   115 00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:49,700 were different from the spirit which moves us   116 00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:51,820 and which has moved so many, quotes,   117 00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:55,060 ordinary people in the course of their lives   118 00:08:55,060 --> 00:08:56,460 and their aspirations.   119 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,140 The movement of the spirit which we see   120 00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:02,180 with such generosity about us in the course of these days.   121 00:09:02,180 --> 00:09:13,180 The image that comes to mind when we look at the last 200 years, which has been the springboard for this Congress,   122 00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:20,180 when one looks at the history of all of the Americas, is an image of strength.   123 00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:27,180 The spirit of man is simply unquenchable and in its own way, invincible.   124 00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:31,180 Now this is so because God has placed within us   125 00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:36,180 the sparks of his own divinity and his own truth.   126 00:09:36,180 --> 00:09:40,180 Today is dedicated to that hunger for truth.   127 00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:44,180 And that is why holiness is the strongest thing in the world   128 00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:47,180 and manifests itself in strength   129 00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:51,180 because it is the combination of the strength of God   130 00:09:51,180 --> 00:09:54,180 and the strength of man.   131 00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:59,680 God appeared from the beginning to have decided to use his powers through man,   132 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,680 and only through man.   133 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:05,680 We call it in theology the incarnational principle.   134 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:11,680 He could have saved us, redeemed us, sanctified us in many other ways.   135 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,680 He chose to do it through a human being.   136 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,680 And since that time, and the person of his own son,   137 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:24,680 The strength of the human race has resided in this closeness to God,   138 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:30,680 a closeness sometimes unknown or unrealized even by him who exercises it.   139 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:37,680 It is the holy, in a sense, those close to God, at least by the direction of their aspirations   140 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,680 and the value of their motives, that unleash the strength of humanity.   141 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,680 And this, my friends, was the strength of the pioneers of the Americans.   142 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:54,480 They had to be physically and morally strong to fight the perils of the frontier.   143 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,360 They had to be men and women of principle not to tolerate despotism in any form.   144 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,300 The principle of freedom, of equality, of brotherhood,   145 00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:11,000 which have dominated here in the United States and in my own country,   146 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,540 even though we followed a somewhat different road,   147 00:11:13,540 --> 00:11:17,540 were based on the same conviction of the value of man   148 00:11:17,540 --> 00:11:19,880 and his sacredness before God.   149 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,780 We sometimes forget how deeply these human truths   150 00:11:23,780 --> 00:11:25,920 were embedded in the lives of those   151 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,820 who made this country great.   152 00:11:28,820 --> 00:11:33,720 This moral fiber dominated the early decades of America,   153 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,560 a sense of righteousness of things   154 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,840 that was rooted in a God-oriented country   155 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,840 and a God-oriented universe.   156 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,340 There was no other way to describe it as their faith,   157 00:11:45,340 --> 00:11:48,740 which St. Paul defines so well as the substance of things   158 00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:51,520 to be hoped for, the conviction of those things   159 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,420 which do not appear.   160 00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:59,360 Our forebears saw more than that which met the eye   161 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,700 or which the reason could reach.   162 00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:03,920 They were not even overwhelmed by the greatness   163 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,260 of the country which they had discovered,   164 00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:09,460 because they believed that there was another world,   165 00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:16,460 a world still unexplored, which would always captivate and occupy the energies of man forever.   166 00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:22,460 This was the hunger that drove them much more than the hunger for new lands or political freedom.   167 00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:29,460 They hungered for truth in God, as St. Augustine so well defined it many years before America was even discovered.   168 00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:36,460 Howell, the Pope, in his recent publication on evangelization, writes,   169 00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:41,460 writes, man's profound and definitive calling   170 00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:44,940 in both continuity and discontinuity   171 00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:49,540 with the present situation, beyond time and history,   172 00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:52,740 beyond the transient reality of this world,   173 00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:55,860 and beyond the things of this world,   174 00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:59,540 of which a hidden dimension will one day be revealed,   175 00:12:59,540 --> 00:13:03,180 beyond man himself, whose true destiny is not   176 00:13:03,180 --> 00:13:09,980 restricted to his temporal aspect, but will be revealed in the future life.   177 00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:15,980 My dear friends, this Congress marks the 200th anniversary of the foundation of this great   178 00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:17,940 nation.   179 00:13:17,940 --> 00:13:24,460 I would be remiss at this time if I did not look at the past, and if I did not ask if   180 00:13:24,460 --> 00:13:28,940 the same forces are now at work.   181 00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:33,300 The facts are not reassuring.   182 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:40,940 Wherever we turn our eyes in all of our countries, we see violence, injustice, flouting of the   183 00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:49,100 law, corruption in high places, a general atmosphere of greed based upon a clear postulate   184 00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:52,300 of materialism and temporalism.   185 00:13:52,300 --> 00:14:02,020 We are infiltrated, penetrated, permeated by the eat, drink, and be merry syndrome.   186 00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:06,220 Our very topic cannot be very popular.   187 00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:15,480 In a fat and overfed society, nothing is more removed than death or more rejected than a   188 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,320 suggestion of hunger.   189 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,800 We even have people in our church who take the attitude that there is something immoral   190 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,040 about being hungry.   191 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,520 We seem to have totally forgotten the message of the book of Revelation to the church in   192 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,700 Laodicea.   193 00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:43,840 You say to yourself, I am rich, I have made a fortune, I have everything, never realizing   194 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:50,920 that you are wretchedly and pitifully poor and blind and naked too?   195 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,920 Nor have we in the Church any right to stand and superciliously condemn the world in which   196 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,420 we are living because we too are suffering the same syndrome.   197 00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:06,900 What, think you, has brought about the difficulties of the Church in the Americas in the present   198 00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:10,980 time, particularly in the United States and in Canada?   199 00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:17,820 but if not a decrease in faith and a decrease in holiness.   200 00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:20,420 We have come to value so much the things of time   201 00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,540 and the things of this world that we have largely   202 00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:24,960 lost sight of the truth of eternity   203 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,340 and of another lasting existence, which   204 00:15:27,340 --> 00:15:31,180 is the only possible explanation of our origin and destiny,   205 00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:33,900 as the pope has so well put it.   206 00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:36,460 Time does not permit me to do more than touch   207 00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:38,900 with the tip of my finger the dangerous conditions   208 00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,040 of the Church at the moment.   209 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080 I would like to say in passing, and this was not   210 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,900 in my original intentions, I consider   211 00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:48,040 that this Congress may well prove   212 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,480 to be a great antidote to the evils which I bewail.   213 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,560 I believe that the Church has taken hold of itself.   214 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,880 I believe it will be a turning point.   215 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,480 I believe it will be a strength and a great giver of morale   216 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,200 to all of us.   217 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:30,200 But I must ask nevertheless what has brought us to this perilous state. Why the decrease of vocations? Is it not because they call for sacrifice of material and temporal pleasures?   218 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,840 Why the unconcern for Christian education,   219 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,340 which has been manifested in many places,   220 00:16:36,340 --> 00:16:41,540 except when we realize that who cares if the faith is passed on   221 00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:44,820 from one generation to another when the faith does not bring   222 00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:48,580 prosperity and sensuous pleasures or popularity?   223 00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:52,280 The bitter criticism of authority,   224 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,320 perhaps the thing we suffer the most from,   225 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,060 even its rejection and downright disobedience.   226 00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:04,600 which we are witnessing even on the international scene.   227 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:12,340 Is it anything more or less than the fruit of not really believing in the Catholic Church in the first place?   228 00:17:12,340 --> 00:17:17,580 What a moment this Congress provides to us to get a hold on ourselves,   229 00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:22,520 to reassert the values that have made us great.   230 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:29,020 As I've already noted, this celebration is in honor of those who have been beatified or canonized,   231 00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:32,520 and those who have experienced the movement of the Spirit within them.   232 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,720 The example is there beyond question.   233 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,320 The churches of Latin America have given us the first fruits of sanctity.   234 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,620 And I'm pleased that Cardinal Miranda is the chief celebrant of this Mass.   235 00:17:44,620 --> 00:17:49,120 We all know the faith of the Mexican people is manifested in the great shrine of God Lupe.   236 00:17:49,120 --> 00:18:06,800 For us in North America, the martyrs who first gave their lives to the Indians, particularly   237 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:14,000 the heroic Jesuit martyrs, blessed Catherine Tecuhitha, St. Francis Cabrini, St. Elizabeth   238 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,540 we honored yesterday, blessed John Newman,   239 00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:18,800 who was ever present at this Congress,   240 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,700 the fourth Bishop of this city.   241 00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:22,380 These are examples of men and women   242 00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:25,240 who are not content with the horizons of the moment.   243 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,440 What a contrast between their concept of truth   244 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,960 and the values of our society,   245 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,960 in which the acclaimed are the current overpaid idols   246 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,500 of our athletic arenas or of our television-oriented society.   247 00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:53,980 What then, my friends of the future?   248 00:18:53,980 --> 00:18:57,220 It is our problem and our choice,   249 00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:00,020 because it is the same spirit, but the spirit needs us.   250 00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:03,720 Where are our values going to be placed?   251 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,300 The hunger for sanctity is an ongoing, ever-present thing.   252 00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:09,760 Our Lord has said,   253 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,760 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,   254 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,260 for they shall have their fill.   255 00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:16,060 In the gospel we just heard.   256 00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:18,640 We honor those who have eaten at the table of the Lord   257 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,440 and have been filled.   258 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,680 They now have their reward.   259 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,820 For us on this Pilgrim's Day, our road is still before us   260 00:19:26,820 --> 00:19:29,820 and our fulfillment still in doubt.   261 00:19:29,820 --> 00:19:32,900 We know that God will not fail us.   262 00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:36,120 What a terrible thing if after 200 years   263 00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:38,620 of outstanding examples of sanctity,   264 00:19:38,620 --> 00:19:41,960 we were to fail him.   265 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,760 The choice is as ancient as the human race,   266 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,500 to live on the surface for the moment,   267 00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:51,360 as Shakespeare puts it, for so much trash   268 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,140 as may be grasped thus,   269 00:19:54,140 --> 00:19:56,940 or to reach for the untouchable,   270 00:19:56,940 --> 00:20:01,140 the immortal, the eternal, the transcendent.   271 00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:04,280 All our choice, and this is my conclusion,   272 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,580 is summed up in two passages in the life of Jesus.   273 00:20:08,580 --> 00:20:11,280 They are starkly different.   274 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,620 One of the most disturbing passages, to my opinion,   275 00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:18,560 in the whole of the gospel is the contact made by Jesus   276 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,760 with the people called the Gadarenes, or the Geresenes,   277 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,060 according to the various gospel writers.   278 00:20:26,060 --> 00:20:28,940 Briefly, we'll recall that in traveling through this province   279 00:20:28,940 --> 00:20:31,780 to the east of Galilee, he was confronted   280 00:20:31,780 --> 00:20:37,280 by the terrifying spectacle of a dehumanized demoniac who   281 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,020 beseeched that the evil spirits in him   282 00:20:40,020 --> 00:20:43,480 be permitted to enter a herd of pigs.   283 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,740 The Lord consenting, the pigs plunged into the ocean.   284 00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:51,220 Putting aside entirely the mystery of this passage,   285 00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:54,980 what concerns us is a reaction of the people of the area.   286 00:20:54,980 --> 00:20:59,100 This was so far outside their built-up concepts,   287 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:03,620 their adopted attitudes, and their closed vision of life,   288 00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:05,280 that they could think of nothing better   289 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,420 than the terrifying request that he would   290 00:21:08,420 --> 00:21:11,960 depart from the neighborhood.   291 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,900 Jesus, the Son of the Father, Savior of the world,   292 00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:19,580 the most beautiful of the sons of men,   293 00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:21,220 with all the kindness and the hope   294 00:21:21,220 --> 00:21:24,060 of the future of the human race within himself,   295 00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:27,060 coming to pay them a visit, and all they could do   296 00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:30,540 was to ask him to depart.   297 00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:32,260 He disturbed them.   298 00:21:32,260 --> 00:21:33,620 He threatened them.   299 00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:35,740 He upset them.   300 00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:39,460 May I suggest to you that it is still happening?

  304 00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:55,380 I fear it is mostly to ask him to leave us alone.   305 00:21:55,380 --> 00:21:58,980 And these words themselves are very significant.   306 00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:06,620 Leave us alone, because alone we will be without.   307 00:22:09,420 --> 00:22:11,220 This is the end of side one.   308 00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:14,780 To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 How much more beautiful is the other incident which you know so well, and which we have 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,920 already celebrated. 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,200 The disciples on the road to Emaus, how they were comforted by his words, enlightened by 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,200 his teaching. 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,480 And then, of course, finally they sat down at the table, and as the scripture has it, 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,880 they recognized him in the breaking of the bread. 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,080 Once again, the story of the Eucharist. 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,080 And when they had left him, they said to each other, 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,080 we're not our hearts burning within us 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,080 as we walked in the way with him and talked. 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,080 But here were two men who were ready to listen. 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:46,080 And when Jesus spoke, their hearts inevitably burned. 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,080 But what had been their attitude?

  4 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,600 Give me holiness.   5 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:37,280 My brothers and sisters, to prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries, let us   6 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,280 call to mind our sins.   7 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,520 Lord Jesus, you have shown us the way to the Father.   8 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,920 Lord have mercy.   9 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,600 Lord Jesus, you have given us the consolation of the truth.   10 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,160 Christ have mercy.   11 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:21,080 Lord Jesus, you are the good shepherd leading us into everlasting life.   12 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,240 Lord have mercy.   13 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:34,240 May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.   14 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,240 Let us pray.   15 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Father, you called Blessed John Newman to lay before the gospel among the people of   16 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,240 the New World.   17 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,240 His ministry strengthened many others in the Christian faith.   18 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:06,240 Through his prayers, may faith grow strong in this land.   19 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and   20 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:25,240 the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.   21 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,240 Amen.   22 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:41,740 In the liturgy of the Word, keep in mind that the liturgy of this Mass honors Blessed John   23 00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:46,740 Newman, and the theme for the first reading is as follows.   24 00:02:46,740 --> 00:03:02,740 The Lord God anointed me and sent me to bring good news to the poor.   25 00:03:02,740 --> 00:03:07,740 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me.   26 00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:14,740 He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim   27 00:03:14,740 --> 00:03:20,740 liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from   28 00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:28,740 the Lord and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn, to place on those   29 00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:36,740 who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, to give them oil of gladness in place of mourning,   30 00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:40,740 a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit.   31 00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:42,740 This is the Word of the Lord.   32 00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:44,740 Thanks be to God.   33 00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:55,740 The theme for the second reading, I became the servant of the Church when God made me   34 00:03:55,740 --> 00:04:00,740 responsible for delivering his message to you.   35 00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:07,740 A reading from the letter of Paul to the Colossians.   36 00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:14,740 Even now I find my joy in the suffering I endure for you.   37 00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:22,740 In my own flesh I fill up what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of   38 00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:24,740 his body, the Church.   39 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:33,740 I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among   40 00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:41,740 you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from all ages and from all generations   41 00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:45,740 past, but now revealed to his holy ones.   42 00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:54,740 God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond Christ, which this mystery brings to   43 00:04:54,740 --> 00:05:01,740 the Gentiles, the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory.   44 00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:11,740 This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure   45 00:05:11,740 --> 00:05:16,740 of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ.   46 00:05:17,740 --> 00:05:24,740 For this I work and struggle, impelled by that energy of his, which is so powerful a   47 00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:26,740 force within me.   48 00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:29,740 This is the Word of the Lord.   49 00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:31,740 Thanks be to God.   50 00:05:41,740 --> 00:06:05,740 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah   51 00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:32,740 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah   52 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:49,740 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah   53 00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:55,740 The Lord be with you.   54 00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,740 And also with you.   55 00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:01,740 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.   56 00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:03,740 Glory to you, O Lord.   57 00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:09,740 Jesus said, I am the good shepherd.   58 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:14,740 The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.   59 00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:22,740 The hired hand, who is no shepherd nor owner of the sheep, catches sight of the wolf coming   60 00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:28,740 and runs away, leaving the sheep to be snatched and scattered by the wolf.   61 00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:31,740 That is because he works for pay.   62 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:34,740 He has no concern for his sheep.   63 00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:37,740 I am the good shepherd.   64 00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:45,740 I know my sheep and my sheep know me in the same way that the Father knows me and I know   65 00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:46,740 the Father.   66 00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:50,740 For these sheep, I will give my life.   67 00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:55,740 I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.   68 00:07:55,740 --> 00:07:59,740 I must lead them too and they shall hear my voice.   69 00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:03,740 There shall be one flock then, one shepherd.   70 00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:06,740 And this is the Gospel of the Lord.   71 00:08:06,740 --> 00:08:09,740 Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ.   72 00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:22,740 Your Eminence Cardinal Crowell and other members of the hierarchy and dearly beloved in Christ,   73 00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:28,740 all of us gathered here for this special Mass in honor of Blessed John Newman   74 00:08:29,740 --> 00:08:32,740 during this International Eucharistic Congress.   75 00:08:36,740 --> 00:08:44,740 Our Eucharistic sacrifice here this evening is but one of many events scheduled during   76 00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:50,740 this Congress built around the theme of the hungers of humanity.   77 00:08:50,740 --> 00:09:00,740 The special theme for today is the hunger for truth and this day is entitled Pilgrim   78 00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:01,740 People Day.   79 00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:12,740 To each of these themes and titles, John Newman, whom we honor in this Mass, has a special claim.   80 00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:22,740 We honor him but we also pray for his intercession that the hunger for truth in our land and   81 00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:31,740 in our world may be satisfied through the endless mercy of the source of all truth,   82 00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:33,740 our Eucharistic Christ.   83 00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:42,740 Hunger is the theme of the Congress but we must pause on an occasion like this in this   84 00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:53,740 bicentennial year of our nation to realize that hunger also was at the heart of the founding   85 00:09:53,740 --> 00:09:54,740 of our nation.   86 00:09:54,740 --> 00:10:03,740 It was literally human hunger that built up our nation over the 200 years that we celebrate   87 00:10:03,740 --> 00:10:05,740 in 1976.   88 00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:13,740 Hunger for freedom and opportunity, hunger for the chance to find a new life, hunger   89 00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:19,740 to share the intellectual and material resources of our land.   90 00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:23,740 It was these hungers that drew millions to our shores.   91 00:10:29,740 --> 00:10:39,740 The readings we have just heard remind us of another hunger, the hunger of the pastor   92 00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:46,740 and it was this hunger alone that brought the nation to its feet.   93 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:52,740 And it was this hunger alone that drew John Newman to our land.   94 00:10:55,740 --> 00:11:02,740 The whole theme of his life was to give himself to feed the hungers of the pilgrim church.   95 00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:10,740 This was the central theme of the life of this man, John Newman, priest, redemptorist, bishop.   96 00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:18,740 Millions of others came here driven by hunger for food or fortune or fame.   97 00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:28,740 He came only to feed spiritual hunger, not a human hunger but a divine hunger, not a   98 00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:32,740 material hunger but a spiritual hunger drove him.   99 00:11:33,740 --> 00:11:40,740 The readings we have just heard are indeed a description of his life, an expansion of   100 00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:49,740 the work of the spirit in his life and a tribute to his total fidelity, to his vocation to   101 00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:54,740 walk in the footsteps of the Redeemer, the Good Shepherd.   102 00:11:54,740 --> 00:12:00,740 Phrase after phrase that we have just heard were echoed in his thoughts, in his words,   103 00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:02,740 in his actions.   104 00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:10,740 From the moment that he set foot on the streets of the city of New York in 1836 as a young   105 00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:16,740 layman and seminarian until he collapsed on the streets of Philadelphia as its bishop   106 00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:17,740 in 1860.   107 00:12:17,740 --> 00:12:24,740 Here again the words, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me.   108 00:12:25,740 --> 00:12:34,740 Here was a man anointed by God to be a pastor and this was symbolic of the complete dedication   109 00:12:34,740 --> 00:12:38,740 of this man to the people to whom God sent him.   110 00:12:38,740 --> 00:12:40,740 He is truly a man of faith.   111 00:12:40,740 --> 00:12:47,740 He is a model and example for all in the church as our Holy Father Pope Paul has said, a model   112 00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:56,740 to the laity, to the priests, to religious, to bishops because he too was sent as we are   113 00:12:56,740 --> 00:12:59,740 to bring the glad tidings.   114 00:13:00,740 --> 00:13:02,740 This sums up the story of his life.   115 00:13:03,740 --> 00:13:06,740 Constantly he spent himself in the service of the Lord.   116 00:13:06,740 --> 00:13:08,740 This sums up the story of his life.   117 00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:15,740 Constantly he spent himself to feed the hunger for the message of the gospel.   118 00:13:16,740 --> 00:13:23,740 His life is a challenge even today to us, perhaps even a rebuke because we have that   119 00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:27,740 same commission in the church today to bring that message.   120 00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:36,740 It was a man also who gave himself to the goal of healing the brokenhearted.   121 00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:44,740 In the words of the reading we have just heard, this was always his primary concern, to heal   122 00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:51,740 souls, to console, to encourage, to bring people to Christ and to the mother of God.   123 00:13:52,740 --> 00:14:01,740 His concern for the poor, for the broken should shame us today as we honor him and measure   124 00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:05,740 ourselves against the example he has given to the church.   125 00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:12,740 For him too he was called to proclaim liberty to captives.   126 00:14:13,740 --> 00:14:21,740 God only knows how many thousands he freed from the captivity of sin to whom he brought   127 00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:24,740 the freedom of the truth.   128 00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:33,740 How many people in our nation today, in our world, still cry out for liberty and we do   129 00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:35,740 not hear their cry.   130 00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:39,740 John Newman, we beg you, open our ears.   131 00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:52,740 The second reading we heard caught up for us the spirit of St. Paul and this surely   132 00:14:52,740 --> 00:14:59,740 was a spirit which John Newman grasped, to which he gave himself.   133 00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:08,740 For his life was indeed a commentary on those words, in my own flesh I fill up what is lacking   134 00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:13,740 in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of his body, the church.   135 00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:21,740 For here was the good shepherd in the words of Christ himself, spending himself, pouring   136 00:15:21,740 --> 00:15:29,740 out his energy, his talent for the time God gave him for the missionary goals of the church.   137 00:15:29,740 --> 00:15:37,740 For we cannot pass over too lightly that phrase Christ used, he lays down his life for his   138 00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:38,740 sheep.   139 00:15:39,740 --> 00:15:49,740 We know that Christ himself did in this sacrifice we have here in the mass, lay down his life.   140 00:15:50,740 --> 00:15:55,740 But he also laid it out for us to pick up, to lift up.   141 00:15:56,740 --> 00:16:04,740 And as Christ was the center of the life of John Newman, so also the ministry of his life   142 00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:07,740 was centered around the Eucharist.   143 00:16:08,740 --> 00:16:19,740 And it is indeed most fitting that we celebrate and honor him here in this Eucharistic sacrifice.   144 00:16:20,740 --> 00:16:26,740 For this man John Newman has earned the prominence we give him at this Eucharistic Congress here   145 00:16:26,740 --> 00:16:32,740 in our land, here in this city, where he spent the last years of his priestly life as Bishop   146 00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:33,740 of the Diocese.   147 00:16:34,740 --> 00:16:40,740 He surely belongs at an international Eucharistic Congress because he was international by both   148 00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:42,740 birth and by his life.   149 00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:48,740 He was Eucharistic by choice, by the acceptance of the gift of faith he received.   150 00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:57,740 And the primary goal of his life was always to share that faith with those who lacked it,   151 00:16:58,740 --> 00:17:03,740 to strengthen it in the lives of those who had been given the gift of faith.   152 00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:16,740 On this occasion, when we combine this consideration of the work of John Newman in our land as a missionary   153 00:17:17,740 --> 00:17:24,740 with this Eucharistic Congress and this city in our bicentennial year, we should pause to ask ourselves,   154 00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:27,740 why did he come here?   155 00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:35,740 He came here not because of orders given to him.   156 00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:40,740 He did not come here as a religious sent by his superiors.   157 00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:43,740 He did not come to find fame or fortune.   158 00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:51,740 He came only to feed the hungers of human souls.   159 00:17:51,740 --> 00:18:01,740 We should think back to those days when he arrived in our land to give himself to his missionary labors   160 00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:09,740 as a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, and then as a redemptorist missionary,   161 00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:14,740 and then as Bishop of this diocese here.   162 00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:20,740 He brought to these new Americans, in whose footsteps he followed as an immigrant himself,   163 00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:32,740 the deep conviction that they had treasures to bring to this land, not only treasures to garner from it.   164 00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:40,740 He brought to these Americans, who were immigrants like himself, the conviction that they had treasures to bring to this land,   165 00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:46,740 to these Americans, who were immigrants like himself, the conviction that they did not have to set aside or leave behind   166 00:18:46,740 --> 00:18:54,740 the cultural heritage that was theirs, the religious values which they brought with them.   167 00:18:54,740 --> 00:19:03,740 He helped give them courage and ambition to win a livelihood in this strange new land of America.   168 00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:12,740 They could be enriched here, he told them, without losing any of the riches of ideas or faith that they brought with them.   169 00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:19,740 Yes, John Newman was just another immigrant. He was not a native-born American.   170 00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:27,740 But he belongs to our land because he gave himself to it by deliberate choice.   171 00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:32,740 He felt in his life the grace of God drawing him to our shores.   172 00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:36,740 And he landed there, he knew little old New York.   173 00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:42,740 He knew the mule bells and the bugles of barges on the Erie Canal.   174 00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:47,740 He knew Pittsburgh in the brawling days of the log rafters.   175 00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:50,740 He knew the gold rush days of the 49ers.   176 00:19:51,740 --> 00:19:57,740 Harpers Ferry he knew, and Gettysburg, long before war made them famous.   177 00:19:57,740 --> 00:20:02,740 David Crockett was alive when John Newman landed in New York.   178 00:20:02,740 --> 00:20:07,740 Abraham Lincoln was just coming into national prominence in the year he died.   179 00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:13,740 So he knew us, he was one of us. His life has much to say for us today.   180 00:20:13,740 --> 00:20:17,740 He was the shepherd who gave himself for his people.   181 00:20:17,740 --> 00:20:21,740 He was the shepherd who fed the hunger for truth.   182 00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:28,740 And all of his life was spent in fulfilling his God-given call   183 00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:32,740 to be a missionary to the people of God.   184 00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:37,740 And that's what drove him, that was what motivated him for that reason.   185 00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:41,740 He developed a school system for which he is so famous.   186 00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:48,740 He did the writing, the preaching, the traveling, all that people might come to know.   187 00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:52,740 The truth that would make them free in this land of the free.   188 00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:55,740 Free with the freedom of God.   189 00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:59,740 So he gave to this land much more than he took.   190 00:20:59,740 --> 00:21:02,740 He gave it because he loved it.   191 00:21:02,740 --> 00:21:05,740 He gave it because he chose it.   192 00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:10,740 He gave himself health, youth, wisdom, learning, prayers.   193 00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:16,740 He shared with us his deep attachment to Christ, to the Eucharist,   194 00:21:16,740 --> 00:21:18,740 his deep love of the Mother of God.   195 00:21:18,740 --> 00:21:23,740 This is his heritage to this city, to this nation of ours.   196 00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:32,740 And something else he gave us, proof that the soil of our land can nurture saints.   197 00:21:32,740 --> 00:21:38,740 That here in our land of self-made men, anyone with the help of God can be holy.   198 00:21:38,740 --> 00:21:45,740 Men who salute the stars and stripes can also win halos if they wish.   199 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:49,740 So to all of us he is an example to old and young,   200 00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:55,740 to laymen, to religious, to priests and bishops, to all of us.   201 00:21:56,740 --> 00:22:06,740 This man who centered his life around Christ in the Eucharist speaks to us today.   202 00:22:06,740 --> 00:22:11,740 The example of his life, the message of his life,   203 00:22:11,740 --> 00:22:20,740 bids us to love this Eucharistic Christ which has brought us together around this altar today.   204 00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:25,740 So in this bicentennial year we salute this man who chose our land,   205 00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:32,740 who chose to give himself to the missionary work needed in our land,   206 00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:37,740 who chose to join a missionary order, to found the teaching order of sisters,   207 00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:41,740 sisters of St. Francis, to build church after church   208 00:22:41,740 --> 00:22:44,740 and to try to pair that with school after school,   209 00:22:44,740 --> 00:22:47,740 all that he might meet, the hunger for truth.   210 00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:51,740 This was the story of his life.   211 00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:56,740 We still need the inspiration that he gives us.   212 00:22:56,740 --> 00:23:02,740 On this day then, during this Eucharistic Congress,   213 00:23:02,740 --> 00:23:07,740 dedicated to the Eucharist and the hungers of the human family,   214 00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:12,740 we have before us in this mass a man who has been a great example   215 00:23:12,740 --> 00:23:18,740 We have before us in this mass the example of a man who brushed aside   216 00:23:18,740 --> 00:23:21,740 no human hunger that he could feed.   217 00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:30,740 Above all, we have before us this man who gave his whole missionary life in our midst.   218 00:23:30,740 --> 00:23:34,740 He strove with all his talents, gave all his time and energy.   219 00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:42,740 He poured himself out as a sacrifice for those to whom he was called.   220 00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:48,740 This is a man who lived and died by the message of the liturgy   221 00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:51,740 we celebrate this evening in his honor,   222 00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:58,740 with the living Christ who offers us eternal life.   223 00:23:58,740 --> 00:24:04,740 Proudly we salute and honor this servant of eternal truth   224 00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:10,740 here with our Eucharistic Christ who is now and forever   225 00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:16,740 our way, our truth, our life.   226 00:24:16,740 --> 00:24:32,740 Our Heavenly Father has assured us that anything we ask in his name will be done.   227 00:24:32,740 --> 00:24:38,740 With confidence in this promise, let us pray.   228 00:24:38,740 --> 00:24:44,740 That Jesus, our Eucharistic Lord, will continue to be the inspiration   229 00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:50,740 and guidance of Pope Paul and our bishops in making him known to all men.   230 00:24:50,740 --> 00:24:53,740 We pray to you, Lord.   231 00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:56,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   232 00:24:56,740 --> 00:25:01,740 That the people of God may recognize that the common work of ministry   233 00:25:01,740 --> 00:25:06,740 through the word, the Eucharist, and the love of one another   234 00:25:06,740 --> 00:25:11,740 is a participation in the unity between Jesus and his Father.   235 00:25:11,740 --> 00:25:13,740 We pray to you, Lord.   236 00:25:13,740 --> 00:25:16,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   237 00:25:16,740 --> 00:25:21,740 That all leaders of nations, especially our own government authorities,   238 00:25:21,740 --> 00:25:27,740 may respond to the needs of their people with service, justice, and honesty.   239 00:25:27,740 --> 00:25:29,740 We pray to you, Lord.   240 00:25:29,740 --> 00:25:32,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   241 00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:35,740 That through the intercession of blessed John Newman,   242 00:25:35,740 --> 00:25:39,740 we may be kept strong in faith and love   243 00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:42,740 and come to share in his glory.   244 00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:44,740 We pray to you, Lord.   245 00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:46,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   246 00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:49,740 That the poor, the sick, and the suffering   247 00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:52,740 who share in the paschal mystery of Jesus   248 00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:56,740 may be strengthened through his promise of resurrection.   249 00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:58,740 We pray to you, Lord.   250 00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:01,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   251 00:26:01,740 --> 00:26:04,740 For our own special intentions,   252 00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:12,740 we pray to you, Lord.   253 00:26:12,740 --> 00:26:14,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   254 00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:19,740 That all those who have died will enjoy the peace of everlasting life.   255 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:21,740 We pray to you, Lord.   256 00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:24,740 Lord, hear our prayer.   257 00:26:24,740 --> 00:26:30,740 We thank you, Father, for the life of service   258 00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:35,740 which your son Jesus undertook for us.   259 00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:40,740 We pray that his coming to us in the banquet of the Eucharist   260 00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:44,740 may lead us to a deeper desire   261 00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:48,740 to be generous servants to one another.   262 00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:53,740 We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.   263 00:26:53,740 --> 00:26:55,740

believes in me never thirsts.   84 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,680 Anyone who eats this bread will live forever.   85 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,440 And the bread that I shall give is my flesh   86 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,160 for the life of the world.   87 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,960 The eyes of all look hopefully to you, O Lord.   88 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,120 And you will have their food, which we seek.   89 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,680 You open your hand.   90 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,440 and satisfy the desire of every living being.   91 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,480 Let us pray.   92 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,280 Oh, Father, you give food to all your creatures.   93 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,840 Satisfy our hunger, not just for food, but for freedom, truth,   94 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,240 justice, and love.   95 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,160 Oh, risen Christ, you made yourself   96 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,200 known to the disciples in the breaking of the bread at Emmaus.   97 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:09,200 The bread we break at this table is a sign of the brokenness of all the world.   98 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,200 Through our sharing in the bread of life in our many Christian communities,   99 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,200 open our eyes and hands to the needs of all people.   100 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:26,200 Let our hearts burn to share your gifts and help us to go forth together with bread.   101 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Bread of hope, bread of life, bread of peace.   102 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:39,440 O Holy Spirit, divine

there may be such an outpouring of love and sharing as to make us hunger more   105 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:57,160 urgently for that ultimate love that we seek in Him, who is the world's living bread,   106 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,240 Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.   107 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,740 Amen.   108 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:12,560 In humble prayer, we now beg pardon of God and of one another for our lack of faithfulness   109 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,360 to Christ's will for the Church.   110 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:24,160 We are led in that prayer by Bishop Basil Lawston and Dr. Thelma Adair.   111 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:32,120 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak to the people, to his saints,   112 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,080 to those who turn to him in their hearts.   113 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,200 We are so busy, Lord, we have not listened to you.   114 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,720 Spirit of Christ, forgive our closed minds and narrow spirits.   115 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,720 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.   116 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,960 The old has passed away.   117 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,980 Behold, the new has come.   118 00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:00,200 We are so busy, Lord.   119 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,640 We have not stopped long enough to become new.   120 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,960 The spirit of Christ will give us our failure   121 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,800 to seek new life in you.   122 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,820 You will seek me and find me   123 00:10:13,820 --> 00:10:17,060 when you seek me with all your heart.   124 00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:22,020 We are so busy, Lord, we have not set aside enough time   125 00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:25,520 to search for your direction in our lives.   126 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,020 Spirit of Christ, forgive our unwillingness   127 00:10:29,020 --> 00:10:31,520 to seek your will and your way.   128 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,780 Now do please be seated.   129 00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:52,820 Our God and Father answers our pleas to him for help and teaches us in his holy word.   130 00:10:52,820 --> 00:11:01,820 Let us listen with faith to his message in the Old Testament reading by Bishop Kenneth Goodson.   131 00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:18,580 He always said to Abram, leave your country, your family, and your father's house for the   132 00:11:18,580 --> 00:11:21,540 land I will show you.   133 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:24,380 I will make you a great nation.   134 00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:32,180 I will bless you and make your name so famous that it will be used as a blessing.   135 00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:35,400 I will bless those who bless you.   136 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,100 I will curse those who slight you.   137 00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:46,620 All the tribes of the earth shall bless themselves by you.   138 00:11:54,380 --> 00:12:18,380 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet.   139 00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:27,580 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet.   140 00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:43,820 Saint Paul speaks to us of our oneness in the Spirit   141 00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:46,060 and in the body of Christ.   142 00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:53,060 This lesson is read by Archbishop Torkom Manugian.   143 00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:06,100 The reading is   144 00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:10,160 from the epistle of Saint Paul to the Ephesians   145 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,420 chapter four   146 00:13:11,420 --> 00:13:14,440 verses one to seven.   147 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,520 I, the prisoner in the Lord, implore you, therefore,   148 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,900 to lead a life worthy of your vocation.   149 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:30,040 Bear with one another charitably in complete selflessness,   150 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,600 gentleness, and patience.   151 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,160 Do all you can to preserve the unity of the spirit   152 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,400 by the peace that binds you together.   153 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:52,400 There is one body, one spirit, just as you were all called into one and the same hope when you were called.   154 00:13:53,400 --> 00:14:06,400 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God who is the father of all, over all, through all, and within all.   155 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:25,400 A reading from the Gospel according to St. Luke, chapter 24, verses 13 to 32.   156 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:32,740 That very same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, seven miles   157 00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:41,220 from Jerusalem, and they were walking, talking together about all that had happened.   158 00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:50,080 So as they talked this over, Jesus himself came up and walked by their side.   159 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,240 But something prevented them from recognizing him.   160 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,000 He said to them,   161 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,120 What matters are you discussing as you walk along?   162 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:09,780 They stopped short, their faces downcast.   163 00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:14,500 Then one of them, called Cleophas, answered him,   164 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:21,380 You must be the only person staying in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have been   165 00:15:21,380 --> 00:15:26,260 happening there these last few days.   166 00:15:26,260 --> 00:15:29,140 What things, he asked?   167 00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:36,240 All about Jesus of Nazareth, they answered, who proved he was a great prophet by the things   168 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:45,420 he said and did in the sight of God and of the whole people, and how our chief priests   169 00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:53,620 and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death and had him crucified.   170 00:15:53,620 --> 00:16:01,420 Her own hope had been that he would be the one to set Israel free.   171 00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:03,420 And this is not all.   172 00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:10,500 Two whole days have gone by since all this happened.   173 00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:14,880 And some women from our group have astounded us.   174 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,840 They went to the tomb in the early morning, and when they did not find the body, they   175 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:28,320 came back to tell us they had seen a vision of angels who declared he was alive.   176 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:36,260 Some of our friends went to the tomb and found everything exactly as the women had reported,   177 00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:40,460 but of him they saw nothing.   178 00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:48,940 Then he said to them, You foolish men, so slow to believe the full message of the prophets.   179 00:16:48,940 --> 00:16:55,780 Was it not ordained that the Christ should suffer and so enter into his glory?   180 00:16:55,780 --> 00:17:03,060 Then, starting with Moses and going through all the prophets, he explained to them the   181 00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:09,860 passages throughout the scriptures that were about himself.   182 00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:17,340 When they drew near to the village to which they were going, he made as if to go on.   183 00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:20,460 But they pressed him to stay with them.   184 00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:26,380 It is nearly evening, they said, and the day is almost over.   185 00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:30,140 So he went in to stay with them.   186 00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:39,220 Now while he was with them at table, he took the bread and said the blessing.   187 00:17:39,220 --> 00:17:43,780 Then he broke it and handed it to them.   188 00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:53,300 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he had vanished from their sight.   189 00:17:53,300 --> 00:18:00,100 Then they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on   190 00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:04,980 the road and explained the scripture to us?   191 00:18:04,980 --> 00:18:11,980 This is the gospel of the Lord.   192 00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:32,540 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,   193 00:18:32,540 --> 00:18:43,760 We have listened in the first reading to the call of Abraham, and I will comment upon this   194 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,640 call of the Lord.   195 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:56,760 The text which tells us about Abraham's vocation in the twelfth chapter of the book of Genesis   196 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:06,560 follows in that book upon the story of the Tower of Babel in the 11th chapter.   197 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:15,200 As the sin of the first men alienated him from God, so when human race had multiplied   198 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:27,140 itself and filled the earth, sin alienated all human society from God and from one another.   199 00:19:27,140 --> 00:19:38,880 They tried, as Holy Scripture says, to make a name for themselves. This refers to rejection   200 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:49,080 of dependence on God. God confused their language and they were no longer able to understand   201 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:58,440 each other. The reversal of this movement has been announced by the prophets, especially   202 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:10,400 by Isaiah and Micah in the vision of the nations gathered on the mount of the temple of God,   203 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:20,260 the Mount Zion. As Babel is the origin of non-understanding, so Jerusalem becomes the   204 00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:30,180 centre of instruction of the Torah for the nations. Torah, the law of God, will reveal   205 00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:39,880 the way of life as a way toward a time for justice and peace. Universal salvation for   206 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:48,580 For all the nations is announced by Isaiah when he writes, all the nations will stream   207 00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:58,600 to it, peoples without number will come to it and say, come let us go up to the mountain   208 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,960 of Yahweh.   209 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,640 the reversal of the movement of confusion and alienation   210 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,040 of men from God and from one another,   211 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,240 that reversal is fulfilled on Pentecost,   212 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,140 according to Luke's description of the Pentecost event,   213 00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:24,280 which was formative for the church.   214 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,480 In Holy Scripture, a new period of history of salvation   215 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,860 begins with the patriarch Abraham,   216 00:21:35,860 --> 00:21:39,460 our father in the faith.   217 00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:43,960 Through him, God will bring together all the nations   218 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,900 who from Babel he had scattered   219 00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:49,800 over the whole face of the earth.   220 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,240 In contrast to those who had sinned,   221 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,740 making a name for themselves,   222 00:21:55,740 --> 00:21:58,740 without and against the Lord,   223 00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:01,440 God promised Abraham,   224 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:08,400 I will make your name so famous that it will be used as a blessing.   225 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:17,840 So the course of man's history begins in you. The initiative comes from God   226 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,520 and he will probe and test Abraham in many ways.   227 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:35,720 Abraham has only one response to the calling and the trials of God, his faith.   228 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:43,840 Through the faith of Abraham, God began to unfold his plan of salvation for all mankind,   229 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:52,520 first for the Jews and then for the Gentiles, as Mary sang in the Magnificat, according   230 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:59,520 to the promise he made to our ancestors of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants   231 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,600 forever.   232 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:09,200 And St. Paul continues and confirms in his letter to the Galatians, Scripture foresaw   233 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:17,100 that God was going to use faith to justify the Gentiles and proclaimed the good news   234 00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:21,180 long ago when Abraham was told,   235 00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:25,180 in you all the Gentiles will be blessed.   236 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,320 The context of God's promise is really universal.   237 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,320 All the tribes of the earth shall bless themselves by you.   238 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,560 So the name of Abraham became a blessing   239 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,700 and because of his faith,   240 00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:49,700 He was rewarded to be the father of the nations.   241 00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:56,780 God's calling requires sacrifices.   242 00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:01,500 Abraham was required to leave the land   243 00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:04,840 where he lived in the midst of pagans   244 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,340 and to go to a land which God had chosen.   245 00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:16,420 The response of Abraham was immediate and full obedience.   246 00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:21,420 So Abraham went, as Yahweh told him.   247 00:24:21,420 --> 00:24:29,020 And he was worthy to receive the first theophany after paradise was lost.   248 00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:38,080 We find in Abraham already the obedience of faith, the attitude which recurs so often   249 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,940 in the letters of Saint Paul.   250 00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:46,080 Faith always begins with the hearing of the word of God.   251 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,740 If then man hears and understands it,   252 00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:55,740 it brings him to personal commitment and obedience.   253 00:24:55,740 --> 00:25:00,780 Faith is more than acceptance of monotheism.   254 00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:05,140 It engages the whole man in his relations to God   255 00:25:05,140 --> 00:25:15,940 and to other men, to the world. We do not confess, I believe, about God, but we confess,   256 00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:26,180 I believe, in God. Through this faith, Abraham became a nation.   257 00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:34,840 Faith is the first principle of unity in God of all mankind, created by him and destined   258 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,840 to receive in him its ultimate and existential fulfilment.   259 00:25:43,980 --> 00:25:49,240 Abraham is one of the prophets to whom God has revealed himself   260 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,780 and through whom God has spoken to the ancestors of Israel   261 00:25:54,780 --> 00:26:02,040 before in the fullness of time he spoke to us through his son.   262 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,040 Grace and truth, as St. John writes,   263 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,040 grace and truth have come through Jesus Christ.   264 00:26:14,180 --> 00:26:16,080 With the coming of Christ,   265 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,520 revelation has reached its fullness,   266 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,180 and reconciliation in Christ has brought about   267 00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:26,480 a new creation, a newness of life   268 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,980 for men in a new union with God.   269 00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:36,060 As Abraham's faith originates from hearing the word of God,   270 00:26:36,060 --> 00:26:39,760 so Christian faith begins with hearing God,   271 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,660 who speaks to us through his son.   272 00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:49,460 Abraham expected the fulfillment of the promises   273 00:26:49,460 --> 00:26:52,920 in a blessing to come.   274 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,760 Your father Abraham rejoiced to think that he would see my day,   275 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,060 So Christ said to the Jews,   276 00:27:02,060 --> 00:27:07,060 it is our joy and glory to have seen the day of Christ,   277 00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:12,280 and our faith means full commitment to his person,   278 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,160 our union with God in Christ.   279 00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:21,100 As in Paul says, the life I now live in this body,   280 00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:24,460 I live in faith.   281 00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:27,940 Faith in the Son of God who loved me   282 00:27:27,940 --> 00:27:31,340 and who sacrificed himself for my sake.   283 00:27:34,780 --> 00:27:39,080 Paul's teaching about faith is closely connected   284 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,280 with his teaching on baptism.   285 00:27:42,980 --> 00:27:47,900 If faith gives us a new union with Christ,   286 00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:52,500 it is through baptism that we have grown together with Christ   287 00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:57,240 through the likeness of his death, burial, and resurrection.   288 00:27:57,940 --> 00:28:05,020 According to the doctrine of St. Paul, the essential meaning of baptism is that we are   289 00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:13,420 raised from the dead, live a new life and grow into union with Christ.   290 00:28:13,420 --> 00:28:21,140 This should not be understood as an individual fact or experience, for all those who are   291 00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:26,120 reborn in Christ form one body.   292 00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:34,220 The incorporation into the body of Christ is the primary effect of faith and baptism.   293 00:28:34,220 --> 00:28:39,340 St Paul will always stress that communal character.   294 00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:43,720 He writes, all baptized in Christ.   295 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:50,900 There are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female,   296 00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:56,780 that all of you are one in Christ Jesus.   297 00:28:56,780 --> 00:29:05,300 And then, after having written these words remarkably enough, he links the new community   298 00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:09,900 in Christ with Abraham when he continues,   299 00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:21,900 merely by belonging to Christ, you are the posterity of Abraham, the heirs he was promised.   300 00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:29,540 Brothers and sisters, all the things we have considered so far are summed up in a beautiful   301 00:29:29,540 --> 00:29:37,060 synthesis in the text we have listened to in the second reading of this service.   302 00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:45,340 The letter of Paul to the Ephesians is often called the epistle of Christian unity.   303 00:29:45,340 --> 00:29:51,340 A sevenfold expression of unity is given by the Apostle.   304 00:29:51,340 --> 00:29:59,180 There is one body, one spirit, just as you were called into one and the same hope when   305 00:29:59,180 --> 00:30:01,340 you were called.   306 00:30:01,340 --> 00:30:05,480 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,   307 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,640 and one God who is Father of all, over all,   308 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,980 through all, and within all.   309 00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:18,140 That is the letter of unity of St. Paul.   310 00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:23,340 Meditating upon this text, we may give thanks to God   311 00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:27,440 for the bond of unity which gathers us as brothers   312 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,440 and sisters in Christ, and allows us to give common witness   313 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,120 of our faith, to pray together with the words   314 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,840 of Holy Scripture, to praise and adore together   315 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,520 our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.   316 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,920 At the same time, and in the same spirit,   317 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,400 we must honestly ask ourselves,   318 00:30:53,400 --> 00:31:02,600 How far did we preserve that unity whose source is the Spirit?   319 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:10,060 Unity in faith, where it all begins in us, taken not only as a personal adherence to   320 00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:19,560 Christ but also as the complete tradition of Christian teaching entrusted to us.   321 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:25,360 How far have we preserved this oneness in faith?   322 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:35,560 How far did we remain one body, that is, one visible community in Christ?   323 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:41,560 Considering the situation of our churches and communities, should we not, with renewed   324 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:51,240 intend, pray for and aim at that renewal of the Church which essentially consists in an   325 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,880 increase of fidelity to her own calling?   326 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:03,080 According to the Second Vatican Council lies here the driving force of the movement toward   327 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:11,720 unity, greater fidelity to the calling of the Church, and we are called to one hope,   328 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,000 one body.   329 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:22,520 We must every day thank God for the ecumenical movement and never weaken or lose our hope   330 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:32,080 in its final fruits, described eloquently by St. Paul and prayed for with utmost love   331 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,000 by Jesus.   332 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,680 This brings us to our last point.   333 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:46,100 The unity of Christians, which has its source in the Holy Spirit, is based upon faith and   334 00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:53,640 baptism and it finds its full achievement and expression through the sacrament of the   335 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:59,000 Eucharist, the celebration of the Lord's Supper.   336 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:05,400 St Paul uses the word body of Christ in two senses.   337 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:12,280 That is, the body of Christ which coincides with the Church and the Eucharistic body of   338 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,320 the Lord.   339 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,920 The two belong inseparably together.   340 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:26,560 St Paul writes, though there are many of us, we form a single body because we all have   341 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,160 share in this one loaf.   342 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,680 This idea has been cherished and developed in the primitive Church.   343 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:44,280 We find it in the Didache with St. Justin, St. Irenaeus, St. Augustine and others.   344 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:50,000 The Second Vatican Council stated, in his Church he instituted the wonderful sacrament   345 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:59,960 of the Eucharist by which the unity of the Church is both signified and expressed.   346 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:06,680 Being the accomplishment of faith and baptism, it signifies and brings about the fullness   347 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:12,360 of unity already given in baptism and faith.   348 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,480 The Eucharist brings that to its achievement and accomplishment.   349 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:23,480 When the priest gives the Holy Communion to the communicant and says,   350 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:29,480 the Body of Christ, he expresses a two-fold reality.   351 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:37,480 The Eucharistic Body of Christ, which forms the Body of Christ that is the Church.   352 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:47,480 According to Catholic doctrine, we have to say that unless we profess the fullness of unity in faith,   353 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:54,480 we cannot express and celebrate together the sign and achievement of that fullness.   354 00:34:54,480 --> 00:35:03,480 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we can hardly take seriously enough the pain and grief   355 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:11,080 which causes to us the fact that even on the occasion of this Eucharistic Congress, we   356 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:18,080 cannot celebrate all together the Lord's Supper in the Stadio Orbis.   357 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:26,160 This fact reveals to us the seriousness of the damage done to the seamless robe of Christ   358 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,200 by our divisions.   359 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:40,840 It makes clear also that the breadth and length and height and depth of the love of God bestowed   360 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:49,260 upon us in the ecumenical movement which seeks to repair, to restore that fullness of unity   361 00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:55,040 in faith and unity in Christian celebration and life.   362 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:03,720 In common prayer, in dialogue, in a new fellowship, we are now hearing together the word of Christ   363 00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:11,260 in the light of the Spirit, so that we may come to that unity in faith which will enable   364 00:36:11,260 --> 00:36:23,960 us to recognize, to confess, to celebrate him together at the breaking of the bread.   365 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:32,200 This leads us to the rite of repentance, in which we will express together our sinfulness   366 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:39,420 and our hunger for the common bread, which is the body of Christ in the communion of   367 00:36:39,420 --> 00:36:41,920 his Church.   368 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:49,080 We had that very useful ecumenical theological symposium.   369 00:36:49,080 --> 00:37:00,320 But if division is the consequence of sin, unity will be the consequence of grace.   370 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:09,200 It prepares us also for the washing of the feet, that symbolic act of servanthood performed   371 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:15,680 by our Lord before he received as host and as servant   372 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,600 his disciples for the last supper.   373 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,080 Let us continue in that prayer.   374 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:46,200 A   375 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:58,200 The corporate response to God's holy word is now summarized on our behalf by Presiding Bishop John Morey Allen and Dr. Robert Marshall.   376 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,200 In peace let us pray to the Lord.   377 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:16,200 Let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem.   378 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:22,200 Lord, we are not worthy that thou shouldst come under our roof,   379 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:29,200 but speak the word only, and our souls shall be healed.   380 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:34,200 O Holy Spirit of God,   381 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:39,200 in the midst of our confusion and distractions,   382 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:45,200 in the midst of our divisions and separations,   383 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:51,200 open our ears that we may hear the divine word.   384 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:56,200 O Holy Spirit of God,   385 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,200 in the light and face of Christ,   386 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:06,200 help us to behold the glory of God.   387 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:23,600 O Holy Spirit of God, in the breaking of bread, enable us to be nourished, redeemed, and sustained   388 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,880 by the body of Christ.   389 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:36,840 Oh Holy Spirit of God, remind us that we must not simply seek to feed ourselves or look   390 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:47,020 for Thee alone in the most holy sacrament of the altar, but You are also the hungry   391 00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:53,780 and the naked and the imprisoned and the thirsty.   392 00:39:53,780 --> 00:40:00,220 And if we would serve you and know you and follow you   393 00:40:00,220 --> 00:40:08,300 and obey you and love you, we must find you   394 00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:13,700 among those who hunger and thirst and are imprisoned.   395 00:40:17,020 --> 00:40:23,020 We are not worthy that thou shouldst come under our roof.   396 00:40:23,020 --> 00:40:30,020 But blessed Lord, you have come to us.   397 00:40:30,020 --> 00:40:42,020 You are the divine word to cleanse, to enlighten, to strengthen, to relate, to save.   398 00:40:42,020 --> 00:40:55,720 O Holy Spirit of God, help us to see and to receive, to know one another and Thee in the   399 00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:58,100 divine Word.   400 00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:07,340 Jesus Christ, our Lord.   401 00:41:07,340 --> 00:41:14,740 Jesus Christ, the pioneer of our salvation, we praise you that you have   402 00:41:14,740 --> 00:41:21,300 made us recognize you in the breaking of bread in the Eucharist, and we pray that   403 00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:29,580 you will make us recognize your presence as we break daily bread, that we may be   404 00:41:29,580 --> 00:41:37,300 strengthened to go out like the ancient patriarch, taking every risk obedient to   405 00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:45,480 to thy command that we may be a blessing to all people.   406 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,580 In your holy name, amen.   407 00:42:00,620 --> 00:42:04,140 As the pilgrim people of our Lord,   408 00:42:04,140 --> 00:42:12,860 We profess that we are one in the Spirit, yet still walk in the pain of our division.   409 00:42:12,860 --> 00:42:22,660 Nowhere is this pain more evident than when we gather for Eucharist at our separate tables.   410 00:42:22,660 --> 00:42:29,860 At the Last Supper, our Lord broke bread with his disciples and washed their feet.   411 00:42:29,860 --> 00:42:34,020 He was both host and servant.   412 00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:41,720 Until that day when we can meet our Lord together as host, we can express now that unity we   413 00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:46,300 already share as his unworthy servants.   414 00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:54,680 In our sorrow for sin, in our hunger for forgiveness, and in our cleansing for mission, leading   415 00:42:54,680 --> 00:43:03,320 us in our litany are Mrs. Margaret Sonnenday, the Reverend Dr. William Jackson Jarman, the   416 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:09,360 Reverend Dr. John Shetler, the Reverend Dr. V.

They found it not.   33 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:38,020 Lord, we hunger for truth. Truth is something shared, not thwarted. Open the eyes of our blindness to see this truth as we experience it in those around us.   34 00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:50,580 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of time.   35 00:02:50,580 --> 00:03:00,580 Lord, we hunger for understanding. We walk slowly at times. We sometimes stagger and fall. We wait   36 00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:07,660 paralyzed for someone to pick us up. Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord.   37 00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:17,660 Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your little ones who faint from hunger at the corner of every street.   38 00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:26,660 Lord, we hunger for peace. Life at times is cheap. We ignore it. We oppress it. We kill it.   39 00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:33,660 Give the bread of peace to the homeless, the war-torn, and the little ones in our midst.   40 00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:40,700 The favours of the Lord are not exhausted. His mercies are not spent. They are renewed   41 00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:49,540 each morning. So great is His faithfulness. My portion is the Lord, says my soul. Therefore   42 00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:51,460 will I hope in Him.   43 00:03:51,460 --> 00:04:01,580 Lord, we hunger for Jesus, the bread of life, our cup, our portion, our lot. He alone satisfies   44 00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:12,580 the hungers of every living being. He is our justice. He is our truth. He is our peace.

The closer we are to him, of course, the closer then   107 00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:59,940 to one another.

One of the questions   52 00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:23,860 was to identify what was his principal occupation.   53 00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:28,100 There was no question about himself.   54 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,940 He was a professor.   55 00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:35,100 His wife was a housewife.   56 00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:40,820 But he had some problem in identifying   57 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:45,820 what the principal occupation of his child was.   58 00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:54,340 So finally, he wrote on the application form   59 00:06:56,020 --> 00:07:01,020 under that question of principal occupation,   60 00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:08,180 he wrote the words, eating and drinking.   61 00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:30,820 And when you come to think of it, it is quite possible that that is precisely the principal occupation of the whole land.   62 00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:51,820 When you fly eastward and when you pass over the Rocky Mountains, there extends almost to infinity the prairie lands, the grain fields of America,   63 00:07:51,820 --> 00:08:07,820 which in turn involves the whole economy of processing food and bringing it as nourishment to our tables.   64 00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:25,820 Even our entertainment world is by and large subsidized by food, cat food and dog food, even so.   65 00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:43,100 It is interesting to note also that this process of growing food requires water.   66 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:53,900 And as you pass over the Rocky Mountains, you see how God in his divine providence has   67 00:08:53,900 --> 00:09:06,420 arranged for this perennial, perpetual flow of water from the continental divide, east   68 00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:17,940 and west, so that all the grain fields of the land shall have this nourishing element   69 00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:30,140 of water to give growth and sustenance to our food.   70 00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:46,140 There is also a second preoccupation about which we are all concerned.   71 00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:53,140 And that preoccupation is talking.   72 00:09:53,140 --> 00:10:02,980 We have a big word for it in the adult world.   73 00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:08,100 We call it communication.   74 00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:19,780 And from morning until night, we are involved with these instruments of conversation and   75 00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:22,220 noise.   76 00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:36,620 Transistor radios, telephone, television, satellite programs, and all that that involves   77 00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:50,460 accounts for a great deal of the economy and the preoccupation of our country.   78 00:10:50,460 --> 00:11:05,820 Now Jesus, realizing these fundamental occupations in our way of life, accepts them   79 00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:18,540 and uses them so that he could meet us precisely where we are at.   80 00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:28,180 And so Jesus hides behind the appearances of bread.   81 00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:38,740 Jesus hides behind the appearances of wine, food, and drink.   82 00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:54,860 And Jesus hides behind our human words so that in that manner he can come to us where   83 00:11:54,860 --> 00:11:57,380 we are at.   84 00:11:57,380 --> 00:12:03,620 That's exactly what the Eucharist is.   85 00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:11,940 The liturgy of the Eucharist and the liturgy of the world.   86 00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:27,180 The all-holy, all-loving Jesus, wishing to come so close to us in bread and wine and   87 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:46,700 Now as a result of that condescension and love of Jesus, there are certain responsibilities   88 00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:51,220 which become ours.   89 00:12:51,220 --> 00:13:04,940 First of all, we must express somehow a hunger for this bread.   90 00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:19,900 And we manifest that hunger in one particular way, and that is the reverence with which   91 00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:24,900 we come to unmask Jesus in the bread.   92 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,760 Therefore, the way we dress,   93 00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:37,780 the way we comport our bodies,   94 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000 our whole outward demeanor must be one of a reverence   95 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:59,640 be one of a reverence that befits someone who has been invited to have supper with the   96 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:07,480 Lord. That is the test of our hunger.   97 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:21,440 Secondly, just as we must hunger for the bread, we must also hunger for his word.   98 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,160 And we do that by listening.   99 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:41,840 is the hardest thing we are asked to do because there are so many competing voices for our   100 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:56,640 attention that it takes a great heroism to push aside these other enticing voices.   101 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:12,800 and to hear Jesus only. A test of this is how much of his Word do we remember   102 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:23,640 after the liturgy. Sunday after Sunday he is like a sower who goes out into the   103 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:35,880 field scattering his word? Does it fall on stony pathways in our hearts and never take   104 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:45,380 root? Or does it fall on listening soil?   105 00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:59,380 The third responsibility which Jesus expects from us is that we shall share our bread.   106 00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:09,560 Jesus will say to us, I was hungry and you gave me to eat.   107 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,140 I was thirsty and you gave me to drink.   108 00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:19,880 Lord, when were you hungry?   109 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,580 When were you thirsty?   110 00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:29,600 As often as you did it to the least of my little ones,   111 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,640 you did it to me.   112 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:42,660 Jesus, who disguises himself behind bread and wine and word,   113 00:16:42,660 --> 00:16:49,660 hides also behind the hunger of my brother."   114 00:16:54,340 --> 00:17:12,060 Next, Jesus expects from us that just as bread and wine are made from many, many   115 00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:25,100 pieces, grains of wheat and many grapes, so also that we shall be one with him, that there   116 00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:37,380 are no grudges between us, no desire to get even with my brother, but that when I come   117 00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:50,100 to him, if there is anything between me and my brother, he asks me, please go back, be   118 00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:59,140 reconciled with your brother, and then come and visit me."   119 00:17:59,140 --> 00:18:15,940 Now just as all of these natural products depend on water, so also this power to recognize   120 00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:31,580 Jesus behind the masks that he wears depend on water. That water is baptism. And through   121 00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:45,660 baptism we have received the power of faith. And faith is the manner in which we can unmask   122 00:18:45,660 --> 00:19:03,640 Jesus. Today we saw how beautifully he hides his humanity, hides his radiant   123 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:15,940 divinity more blinding than the sun, whiter than the snow, and only faith can   124 00:19:15,940 --> 00:19:30,740 see him there. And so too we bring this faith to this holy place. We who are here   125 00:19:30,740 --> 00:19:41,460 our delegates of all of the children of the world and in particular of our own   126 00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:54,820 nation. And we come to a Eucharist which is a Thanksgiving. And what we must do is   127 00:19:54,820 --> 00:20:10,260 reach out, discover Jesus, unmask him, and give him one great hug of thanksgiving.   128 00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:14,900 Thank you, Jesus.   129 00:20:24,820 --> 00:20:49,740 Boys and girls and all who have come to celebrate the goodness of God with you in this Eucharist,   130 00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:59,940 Let us be sensitive to the hungers of the human family and pray that they may be satisfied   131 00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:04,700 through the Eucharist.   132 00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:15,160 That the whole church may experience a stronger faith through this Eucharistic Congress, we   133 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,160 We pray to you, Lord.   134 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,640 Lord, hear our prayer.   135 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,700 For the leaders of the world, that they will be responsible, truthful, and understanding   136 00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:32,640 in serving the needs of their people, we pray to you, Lord.   137 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,040 Lord, hear our prayer.   138 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:41,320 For the children everywhere who hunger for the understanding of Christ and his works,   139 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760 that the Holy Spirit will fill them.   140 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,200 We pray to you, Lord.   141 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,880 For those who are attending this mass,   142 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,880 that they may grow closer to Jesus,   143 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,640 the bread of life.   144 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,140 We pray to you, Lord.   145 00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:09,140 Lord, we are awakened.   146 00:22:09,140 --> 00:22:17,300 For all young men and women, that the Holy Spirit may inspire them to follow the vocations   147 00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,140 to which God has called them, we pray to you, Lord.   148 00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:25,140 Lord, we are awakened.   149 00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:31,140 Father in Heaven, you have made us for yourself.   150 00:22:31,140 --> 00:22:39,140 Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.   151 00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:46,140 Fulfill this longing through Jesus, the Bread of Life,   152 00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:58,140 so that we may witness to him who alone satisfies the hungers of the human family.   153 00:22:58,140 --> 00:23:05,140 By the power of your Spirit, lead us to the heavenly table,   154 00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:13,140 where we may feast on the vision of your glory forever and ever.   155 00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:56,860 Lord, by the transfiguration of your Son, make our gifts holy, and by his radiant glory,   156 00:23:56,860 --> 00:24:03,860 We ask from our sins. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.   157 00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:04,860 Amen.   158 00:24:06,860 --> 00:24:07,860 The Lord be with you.   159 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:09,860 And also with you.   160 00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,860 Lift up your hearts.   161 00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:13,860 We lift them up to the Lord.   162 00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:17,860 Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.   163 00:24:17,860 --> 00:24:21,860 He is right to be in our midst and grace.   164 00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:33,900 God, our loving Father, we are glad to give you thanks and praise because we love you.   165 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:37,860 With Jesus we sing your praise.   166 00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:44,340 You love us.   167 00:24:44,340 --> 00:24:49,140 You gave us this great and beautiful world.   168 00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:52,140 With Jesus we sing your praise.   169 00:24:52,140 --> 00:24:59,140 Glory to God in the highest.   170 00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:09,140 Because you love us, you sent Jesus your Son to bring us to you and to gather us around   171 00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:13,140 him as the children of one family.   172 00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:17,140 With Jesus we sing your praise.   173 00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:29,620 For such great love we thank you with the angels and the saints as they praise you and sing.   174 00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:49,740 Blessed be Jesus whom you sent to be the friend of children and of the poor.   175 00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:58,260 He came to show us how we can love you, Father, by loving one another.   176 00:25:58,260 --> 00:26:08,220 He came to take away sin which keeps us from being friends, and hate which makes us all   177 00:26:08,220 --> 00:26:09,220 unhappy.   178 00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:19,460 He promised to send the Holy Spirit to be with us always so that we can live as your   179 00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:20,460 children.   180 00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:49,460 God our Father, we now ask you to send your Holy Spirit to change these people.   181 00:26:49,460 --> 00:27:00,260 change these gifts of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.   182 00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:09,380 The night before he died, Jesus your Son showed us how much you love us.   183 00:27:09,380 --> 00:27:19,340 When he was at supper with his disciples, he took bread and gave you thanks and praise.   184 00:27:19,340 --> 00:27:24,340 Then he broke the bread, gave it to his friends, and said,   185 00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:31,460 take this, all of you, and eat it.   186 00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:36,460 This is my body, which will be given up for you.   187 00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:44,420 Jesus has given his life for us.   188 00:27:49,340 --> 00:28:04,340 When supper was ended, Jesus took the cup that was filled with wine, he thanked you,   189 00:28:04,340 --> 00:28:13,220 gave it to his friends and said, Take this, all of you, and drink from it.   190 00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:20,580 This is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant.   191 00:28:20,580 --> 00:28:28,220 It will be shed for you and for all men, so that sins may be forgiven.   192 00:28:28,220 --> 00:28:42,060 Jesus has given his life for us.   193 00:28:42,060 --> 00:28:49,060 Then he said to them, Do this in memory of me.   194 00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:57,060 Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.</div> <div style="width: 750px;

May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, 42 00:04:51,800 --> 00:05:01,480 and bring us to everlasting life. A reading from the book of the Prophet 43 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Daniel. As Daniel watched, thrones were set up and the Ancient One took his 44 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:15,040 throne. His clothing was snow bright and the hair on his head as white as wool. 45 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:22,200 His throne was flames of fire with wheels of burning fire. A surging stream 46 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:28,240 of fire flowed out from where he sat. Thousands upon thousands were ministering 47 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:35,400 to him and myriads upon myriads attended him. The court was convened and the books 48 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,560 were opened. As the visions during the night continued, I saw one like a son of 49 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,600 man coming on the clouds of heaven. When he reached the ancient one and was 50 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:55,120 presented before him, he received dominion, glory, and kingship. Nations and 51 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,800 peoples of every language serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that 52 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400 It shall not be taken away. 53 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240 His kingdom shall not be destroyed. 54 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,080 This is the word of the Lord. 55 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:09,580 Praise be to God. 56 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:25,080 The Lord is king, the most high over all the earth. 57 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:34,840 The Lord is King, the Most High, over all the earth. 58 00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:39,480 The Lord is King, let the earth rejoice. 59 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Let the many hearts be glad. 60 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,840 Clouds and darkness are round about him. 61 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:53,600 Justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne. 62 00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:04,480 The Lord is King, the Most High, over all the earth. 63 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,120 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, 64 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,520 before the Lord of all the earth. 65 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,280 The heavens proclaim His justice, 66 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,320 and all people see His glory. 67 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:31,640 The Lord is King, the Most High, over all the earth. 68 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:38,800 Because you, O Lord, are the Most High over all the earth, 69 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,480 exalted far above all gods. 70 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:55,480 The Lord is King, the Most High, over all the earth. 71 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,480 A reading from the second word of Peter. 72 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,480 It was not by way of cleverly concocted myths 73 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,480 that we taught you about the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 74 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,480 for we were eyewitnesses of His sovereign majesty. 75 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,480 He received glory and praise from God the Father 76 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,480 when the unique declaration came to Him 77 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480 out of the majestic splendor, 78 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,480 This is my beloved Son, on whom my favor rests. 79 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,480 We ourselves heard this said from Heaven 80 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,480 while we were in His company on the holy mountain. 81 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,480 Besides, we possess the same prophetic message 82 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280 as something altogether reliable. 83 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,180 Keep your attention closely fixed on it, 84 00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:48,720 as you would on a lamp shining in a dark place, 85 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,620 until the first streaks of dawn appear 86 00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:54,860 and the morning star rises in your hearts. 87 00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:56,560 This is the word of the Lord. 88 00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,560 Thanks be to God. 89 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:27,020 Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. 90 00:09:27,020 --> 00:09:38,980 my son, my beloved, in whom is all my delight, listen to him. 91 00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:47,460 Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 92 00:09:54,420 --> 00:09:55,780 The Lord be with you. 93 00:09:55,780 --> 00:10:02,780 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. 94 00:10:02,780 --> 00:10:07,780 Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John, 95 00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:12,780 and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 96 00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:16,780 He was transfigured before their eyes. 97 00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:19,780 His face became as dazzling as the sun, 98 00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:23,780 his clothes as radiant as light. 99 00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:27,380 Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, 100 00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:29,180 conversing with him. 101 00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:31,120 Upon this, Peter said to Jesus, 102 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,480 Lord, how good it is for us to be here. 103 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,100 With your permission, I will erect three booths here, 104 00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:43,160 one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 105 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040 He was still speaking when suddenly 106 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,900 a bright cloud overshadowed them. 107 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,340 Out of the cloud came a voice which said, 108 00:10:52,340 --> 00:11:02,260 this is my beloved son on whom my favor rests. Listen to him. When they heard this 109 00:11:02,260 --> 00:11:07,300 the disciples fell forward on the ground overcome with fear. Jesus came forward, 110 00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:14,340 came toward them and laying his hand on them said, get up, do not be afraid. When 111 00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:19,580 they looked up they did not see anyone but Jesus. As they were coming down the 112 00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:25,900 mountainside Jesus commanded them do not tell anyone of the vision until the Son 113 00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:32,980 of Man rises from the dead. This is the gospel of the Lord. 114 00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:53,580 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. 115 00:11:53,580 --> 00:12:03,260 Your Eminence Cardinal Cook, Your Eminence Cardinal Aponte, my brother bishops, my brother 116 00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:16,260 priests, devoted religious, and dearly beloved in Christ, St. Thomas Aquinas, the angelic 117 00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:29,780 Doctor, concisely expresses the striking thought that the Holy Eucharist produces in each one 118 00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:41,380 of us the same effect as the Incarnation produced with respect to mankind in general. 119 00:12:41,380 --> 00:12:48,700 as by coming visibly into the world Jesus conferred upon the world the life 120 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:58,340 of grace, so also coming sacramentally into man he causes the life of grace. As 121 00:12:58,340 --> 00:13:09,940 St. John says, he who eats me will live because of me. It is a striking thought. 122 00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:17,580 for immediately it reduces the whole vast work of the redemption of the human 123 00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:26,620 race to the terms of your redemption and my redemption. It underscores the 124 00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:35,700 abiding personal concern of Jesus Christ for you and for me. It brings to a focus 125 00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:46,500 his understanding of each one of us. The gift of Jesus Christ in the whole 126 00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:53,460 Eucharist is the gift of himself, the second person of the most blessed 127 00:13:53,460 --> 00:14:02,220 Trinity made man, body and blood, soul and divinity. What this total giving of 128 00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:14,380 self really means is so difficult for us to comprehend, for his is a divine action comparable 129 00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:21,940 in profundity to the innermost relations of the Blessed Trinity. 130 00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:31,180 In the thought-provoking words of one distinguished modern theologian, as God gives his entire 131 00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:39,340 nature in the eternal generation of the Word and the aspiration of the Holy Spirit, as 132 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:48,180 God willed to give himself in person in the incarnation of the Word, so Jesus has wished 133 00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:53,540 to give himself in person in the Eucharist. 134 00:14:53,540 --> 00:15:01,720 When our Lord was about to deprive us of his sensible presence, he wished to leave himself 135 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,720 to us in person under the Eucharistic veils. 136 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Loving us as he did, he could not bend down any lower towards us, toward the lowliest, 137 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,420 the poorest, and the most wretched. 138 00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:25,780 There was no way by which he could unite himself or give himself more completely to each one 139 00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:29,020 of us. 140 00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:35,980 Should it surprise us, therefore, that in the Holy Eucharist, each one of us, in the 141 00:15:35,980 --> 00:15:44,100 particular circumstances in which we find ourselves, in joy or in sorrow, in success 142 00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:55,900 or in failure, each one of us will find the answer to our hunger for understanding, yours 143 00:15:55,900 --> 00:16:00,180 and mine. 144 00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:07,820 For is not the Holy Eucharist, as Pope Paul VI says, the sacrament of the permanency of 145 00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:14,100 Christ, who now lives in the eternal glory of the Father, in our time, in our 146 00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:22,760 history, and in our earthly pilgrimage. And is not the Holy Eucharist, as the 147 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:31,280 same pontiff says, Christ for each of us, clothed precisely by the species of bread, 148 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:40,660 to let himself be known as accommodating and ready to satisfy our hunger, to make 149 00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:50,700 himself wanted, and to be approached, received, and to be assimilated with 150 00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:59,980 himself. Jesus Christ our Lord, present in the Holy Eucharist, is the same person 151 00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:06,780 who once was born in the stable in Bethlehem, who worked in a carpenter's shop in Nazareth, 152 00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:14,220 who trudged through country fields and city streets in Palestine, who preached on the slope 153 00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:21,420 of a hill in Galilee and from the prow of a boat on the lake of Genezareth, who sweated blood amid 154 00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:28,940 the agony of Gethsemane and died the death of crucifixion on Golgotha. He is the incarnate 155 00:17:28,940 --> 00:17:38,180 Son of God, truly human in nature as He is divine in nature. It is precisely 156 00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:53,180 because He is like unto us in all things save sin that He knows and cares and 157 00:17:53,180 --> 00:18:03,140 understands. Read the gospel pages, my brothers and sisters. Study the life of 158 00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:10,820 Jesus Christ upon earth. Did he ever show unconcern for the troubled and the 159 00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:22,180 suffering? Did he ever refuse to listen? Did he ever answer brusquely or 160 00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:35,580 impatiently or offensively? Did he ever deny the plea of someone in need? Did he ever berate 161 00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:51,300 a timid soul? Was he ever harsh or unkind? Did he ever bear a grudge? Was there ever 162 00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,980 for any bitterness in his speech, 163 00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:58,100 or vindictiveness in his acts? 164 00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:03,940 Did he ever show by what he said or what he did 165 00:19:03,940 --> 00:19:07,580 that he lacked sympathy and compassion 166 00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:12,100 and kindness and considerateness and understanding? 167 00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:18,820 Though hard on himself, remember the cold of Bethlehem, 168 00:19:18,820 --> 00:19:22,100 the hunger of the desert, the agony of Gethsemane, 169 00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:26,300 the ignominy of Golgotha, though hardened himself, 170 00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:31,300 was he not always mild and gentle towards others? 171 00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:38,500 Was there ever any penitent sinner whom he refused to pardon? 172 00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:44,940 When some ridiculed his teaching and termed him an imposter 173 00:19:44,940 --> 00:19:48,460 and called him a blasphemer and shouted for his death 174 00:19:48,460 --> 00:20:05,180 nailed him to a cross, did he ever answer in anger? Did he ever harbor revenge? Father, 175 00:20:05,180 --> 00:20:17,660 forgive them for they know not what they do. He taught his followers to love their enemies 176 00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:22,060 and to do good to those who hated them. 177 00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:29,800 He told them not to judge or condemn, but always to forgive. 178 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:35,520 He bade them feed the hungry, and give drink to the thirsty, 179 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,480 and to welcome the stranger, and to clothe the naked, 180 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,920 and to come to the sick, and to visit the imprisoned. 181 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,560 Could he not command these things because he himself, 182 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,260 by what he thought and said and did, 183 00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:55,380 was a model whom they could follow? 184 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:04,120 Understanding, did you ever reflect upon the parable 185 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,280 of the prodigal son and upon the parable of the shepherd 186 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,400 who left the 99 sheep to go out in search of the one 187 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:24,360 had strayed away. Understanding, the centurion came to Jesus with the plea, 188 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:32,400 my servant is ill. The lepers stood afar off and begged that they be made clean. 189 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:39,080 The poor blind beggar of Jericho kept crying out, Jesus son of David have pity 190 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:46,000 on me, and because in the goodness and generosity and tenderness of his heart 191 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:53,240 he understood. Jesus healed them all. 192 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:03,240 Understanding, do you remember how one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus 193 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:09,180 fell down at the feet of Jesus and besought him much, my daughter is at the 194 00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:19,800 point of death. And because Jesus Christ understood a father's grief, he went down 195 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:29,480 to his home and took his daughter by the hand and raised her from the dead. 196 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:41,480 Understanding, do you remember how sympathetically Jesus Christ listened to Mary of Bethany? 197 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,980 Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 198 00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:53,760 He himself wept at the tomb of his friend Lazarus, and because Jesus understood the 199 00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:05,600 sorrow of Martha and Mary he brought their brother back to life. Understanding. 200 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,440 Do you remember how pitifully the widow of Nahum was weeping as her only son was 201 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:21,280 being carried to the grave? And because Jesus Christ understood the heart 202 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:27,800 sickness of that poor mother, he not only commanded the boy, young man I say to 203 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:36,760 thee arise, but with delicate gentleness and infinite thoughtfulness he took the 204 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:48,840 boy by the hand and he gave him to his mother. The sick and the diseased, the 205 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,360 the crippled, and the maimed, and the troubled, 206 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,700 and the whole flock to him, 207 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,680 because they knew he understood. 208 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,820 Little children ran after him, 209 00:24:07,820 --> 00:24:11,860 so that he might throw his arms about them and bless them, 210 00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:16,860 because they knew that he understood. 211 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:33,840 His mother Mary pointed out to him the embarrassment at the wedding feast when the wine supply had failed because she knew that he understood. 212 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:53,840 The woman troubled for twelve years with an issue of blood pushed her way through the jostling crowd that she might touch the hem of his garment because she knew that he understood. 213 00:24:53,840 --> 00:25:06,540 He always understood, but it was not only the sorrows and burdens of men and women and children that Jesus Christ understood, 214 00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:16,640 he understood their joys as well. That is why he loved to visit with Martha and Mary and Lazarus and Bethany. 215 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:23,640 That is why he shared their moments of happiness with the newly married couple at Cana. 216 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:33,640 That is why he honored the publicans Zacchaeus and Jericho by entering into his house in order to dine with him. 217 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,640 Jesus loved people. 218 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,640 He had a reverent sense of the dignity of all persons 219 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:52,000 because he understood that every human being is an image of God and so valuable in his sight 220 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,760 that he would shed the last drop of his precious blood on Calvary to redeem him. 221 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:06,000 He appreciated the strengths and the weaknesses of every individual, 222 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:16,640 and so he dealt with every individual on a personal basis. He drew to the faith 223 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,640 the Samaritan woman at the well of Sikar, promising her, the water that I will 224 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:29,760 give shall become a fountain of water springing up into life everlasting. He 225 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,000 rescued the woman taken in adultery, granted her forgiveness because of a 226 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:47,680 repentant love and then set her free. Go and sin no more. He looked with such compassion 227 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:57,400 upon Peter after his denial that the apostle went out and wept bitterly. The strong, manly, 228 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:09,960 rough, impetuous fisherman. He called to Judas, friend, and taught the whole world the lesson 229 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:22,880 that it is never too late to try to save a human soul. It is this same Jesus, dearly 230 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:32,840 beloved brothers and sisters who is present in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus 231 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:44,920 Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. True, he is present in his 232 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:51,720 glorified body, but it is still the second person of the Blessed Trinity 233 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:58,640 made man, body and blood, soul and divinity, who remains with us under the 234 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:10,660 appearance of bread and wine, there is only one Jesus Christ. Today men and 235 00:28:10,660 --> 00:28:21,460 women and children all over the world hunger for understanding. I hear them 236 00:28:21,460 --> 00:28:31,220 plead. I want to be appreciated as a human person. I want to be treated as the 237 00:28:31,220 --> 00:28:40,780 work of God's creative hand. I want to be esteemed as a child of God. I need to be 238 00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:48,900 wanted, to be loved. I need someone who will defend me from injustice and 239 00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:52,900 and protect me from hatred. 240 00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:56,780 I need someone who will not become angry at me. 241 00:28:56,780 --> 00:29:02,740 My failure is no vindictive because of my sins. 242 00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:04,540 This is the end of side one. 243 00:29:04,540 --> 00:29:06,660 To hear the remainder of the tape, stop the cassette 244 00:29:06,660 --> 00:29:08,980 and turn it over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,440 I need someone who is concerned with me as an individual.   2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:20,560 I need someone to whom I can speak and in whom I can trust.   3 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:31,100 The starving millions, the indigent, the destitute, the beggared, cry out to Jesus Christ in the   4 00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:40,040 Holy Eucharist, do you understand my poverty?   5 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,040 Jesus points to a manger and a stable.   6 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,880 And he reminds them,   7 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,680 foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests.   8 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,760 But the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.   9 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:18,200 The forgotten and the abandoned, the shirins in apartments whom no one ever visits, the   10 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,840 men and women on the fringe of society in chronic hospitals and public institutions,   11 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,880 the elderly who live only on memories, all these cry out to Jesus Christ in the Holy   12 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:43,520 Christ, do you understand my loneliness?"

He says again and again to you and to me, it is I. Do not   32 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,600 be afraid. Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will refresh you."   33 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:59,480 Understand, why do you think that he instituted the Holy Eucharist? Why do you think that   34 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Why do you think that he gave us this sacrament in such a personal way?   35 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Was it not that he might unite himself with individuals in communion and become one body with them?   36 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,640 that he might become man in each man by taking the human nature of each into union with his own?   37 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:39,160 And is it possible for our human minds to conceive of any action more understanding than this?   38 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:48,920 But, my brothers and sisters, there is another aspect of the subject, the Eucharist and the   39 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:56,640 hunger for understanding, that calls for our brief reflection this afternoon.   40 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:07,400 It is an astounding thought, and yet it is true, that when Jesus abides in us, in the   41 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:21,200 Holy Eucharist in some mysterious and miraculous way, we are transformed into Him.   42 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,640 This is no new doctrine.   43 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,540 This is no exaggerated concept.   44 00:06:28,540 --> 00:06:34,160 It is to be found in the writings of many of the great fathers and doctors of the Church   45 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:41,820 and has been taught constantly by the Magisterium of the Church over the centuries.   46 00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:49,340 With scholarly insight, an outstanding modern theologian has discussed several patristic   47 00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:52,660 passages on this point.   48 00:06:52,660 --> 00:06:59,020 Treating of St. John Chrysostom, for example, and his comments upon the words of St. Paul,   49 00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:02,900 is not the bread we break as sharing in the body of Christ.   50 00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:09,380 Taimans de Peron describes how this father of the Church   51 00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:15,500 pointed out that Saint Paul was not satisfied   52 00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:19,540 with his explanation of the union between Christ   53 00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:23,580 and the Christian until he had affirmed   54 00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:28,420 that in Holy Communion, the Christian becomes   55 00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:31,940 the body of Christ.   56 00:07:31,940 --> 00:07:40,100 Why, asks St. John Chrysostom, does St. Paul use the word communicatio and not participatio?   57 00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:48,260 The reason is that he wished to express a more intimate degree of union.   58 00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:56,420 Even when he uses the word communicatio, which supposes a distinction of persons between   59 00:07:56,420 --> 00:08:02,620 him who communicates and him who receives the communication, St. Paul is at pains to   60 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:13,500 attenuate this distinction, adding immediately, we are all one bread, one body.   61 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:19,380 As if he were to say, why speak of communication or communion?   62 00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:24,180 We are the same body.   63 00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:27,700 So what is the bread we eat?   64 00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:31,100 It is the body of Christ.   65 00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:36,200 And those who communicate become the body of Christ.   66 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,580 Not several bodies, but one body.   67 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:45,980 Just as bread is compounded of many grains in such a way   68 00:08:45,980 --> 00:08:51,080 that their union obliterates their individual differences,   69 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,080 So too with us, we are united one with the other,   70 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,480 all united in Christ because all are nourished   71 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,360 by the same body.   72 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,000 With even greater vigor of expression,   73 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,560 Saint John Chrysostom thus describes   74 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,200 our transformation in Christ.   75 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,200 He says, we are the body which we receive.   76 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Dearly beloved, because of our union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist, we must let   77 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,880 Christ live in us.   78 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,920 For me to live is Christ, said Paul.   79 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:52,760 attitudes and our actions, the things that we think and say and do must be   80 00:09:52,760 --> 00:10:04,480 conformed to him because he lives in us. It is not enough to imitate Christ.   81 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:13,840 Rather, we must let Christ live and act in us in such ways that we can one day   82 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:26,360 day say with St. Paul, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.   83 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:36,240 In concrete, practical terms of day-to-day living, this means that we must feed the hungry   84 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:45,880 and give drink to the thirsty, and visit the lonely, and console the sorrowing, and counsel   85 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:53,920 the doubting, because this is what he did.   86 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,360 He went about doing good.   87 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:12,160 In a word, we must love with patience and kindness, without jealousy or boastfulness,   88 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:20,960 without arrogance or rudeness, without stubbornness or irritableness or resentfulness.   89 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:31,720 We must never cease trying to satiate the great hunger of modern man for understanding.   90 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:40,320 We must be alive to modern man's yearning to be appreciated as a human person, to be   91 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:49,080 treated as a work of God's creative hand, to be esteemed as a child of God, to be wanted   92 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:56,040 and to be loved, to be defended from injustice and protected from hatred, to be accepted   93 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,080 in spite of his failures and transgressions.   94 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:10,560 Like Jesus Christ, we must give ourselves to modern man as persons to whom he can speak   95 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:14,520 and in whom he can trust.   96 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:26,480 all of this precisely because in the Holy Eucharist we become one body with Jesus Christ   97 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,800 who assimilates us to himself.   98 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:42,280 Oh how desperate is the need today that we love and understand one another and ourselves   99 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,040 too.   100 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:51,040 in the context of our becoming one body with the Eucharistic Christ.   101 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Thomas Merton's memorable statement is no exaggeration.   102 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,800 He wrote,   103 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,400 The whole problem of our time is the problem of love.   104 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:09,800 How are we going to recover the ability to love ourselves and to love one another?   105 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,260 The reason why we hate one another and fear one another   106 00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:19,260 is that we secretly or openly hate and fear our own selves.   107 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,760 And we hate ourselves because the depths of our being   108 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,760 are a chaos of frustration and spiritual misery.   109 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,560 lonely and helpless   110 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,800 we cannot be at peace with others   111 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,000 because we are not at peace with ourselves   112 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,840 and we cannot be at peace with ourselves because we are not at   113 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:57,840 peace with God. It is important to make   114 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,440 clear however that this living of Christ in our day-to-day lives   115 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:08,160 because we have become his body in the Holy Eucharist. This sympathetic response   116 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,560 by us, united with the Eucharist to Christ, to the hunger of modern man for   117 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:19,840 understanding, all of this implies an ecclesial dimension too. The Second   118 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,800 Vatican Council urges bishops to exert themselves constantly to have the   119 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,400 faithful know and live the Paschal mystery more deeply through the Eucharist   120 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:41,400 and thus become a firmly knit body in the solidarity of Christ's love.   121 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:47,400 It is substantially the same thought that Thomas Merton expresses in this way.   122 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:53,400 We must always remember that we are not sanctified as isolated units,   123 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,400 but as members of the living organism, the Church.   124 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:03,440 we are sanctified as members of one of another. The growth of each individual   125 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:10,240 person in Christ-like virtue contributes all the more the Christ-likeness of the   126 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:18,040 whole Church. It is therefore not only a question of individual imitating the   127 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:25,400 divine Redeemer and thus perfecting their own lives, but above all of Christ   128 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,400 living more and more perfectly in his Church,   129 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:38,900 by virtue of the fact that his Spirit takes fuller and deeper possession of all its individual members,   130 00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:44,400 uniting them all perfectly to one another and to himself.   131 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,400 My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,   132 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,400 to summarize and to conclude,   133 00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:01,320 The Holy Eucharist is the living answer to mankind's hunger for understanding,   134 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,760 and this chiefly for two reasons.   135 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,360 First, present in the Holy Eucharist is the loving, compassionate,   136 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:16,440 consoling, sympathetic, encouraging, understanding Christ.   137 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,680 And secondly, through our oneness with Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist,   138 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,640 Through our becoming him because he assimilates us to himself,   139 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:34,640 our brothers and sisters in our day must find in us also   140 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:42,120 the living answer to their hunger for understanding.   141 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,320 Somewhere, I once happened upon the text of an old   142 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,360 and unidentified manuscript that seems especially pertinent   143 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,860 to our reflections this afternoon on the Eucharist   144 00:16:55,860 --> 00:16:59,360 and the hunger for understanding.   145 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,900 The title of the manuscript is this.   146 00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:07,120 This is my friend.   147 00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:10,480 Let me tell you how I made his acquaintance.   148 00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:20,160 I had heard much of him, but took no heed.   149 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:27,720 He sent daily gifts and presents, but I never thanked him.   150 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:38,360 He often seemed to want my friendship, but I remained cold.   151 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:49,720 I was homeless and wretched and starving and in peril every hour, and he offered me shelter   152 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:57,720 and comfort and food and safety, but I was ungrateful still.   153 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:06,720 At last he crossed my path and with tears in his eyes,   154 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,720 he besought me saying, come and abide with me.   155 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:22,840 Let me tell you how he treats me now.   156 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:28,520 He supplies all my wants.   157 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,320 He gives me more than I dare ask.   158 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,280 He anticipates my every need.   159 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,240 He begs me to ask for more.   160 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,800 He never reminds me of my past ingratitude.   161 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:54,560 He never rebukes me for my past follies.   162 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,360 Let me tell you further what I think of him.   163 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:04,000 He is as good as he is great.   164 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,880 His love is as ardent as it is true.   165 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:16,880 He is as lavish of his promises as he is faithful in keeping them.   166 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:26,680 He is as jealous of my love as he is deserving of it.   167 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:35,320 I am in all things his detour, but he bids me call him friend.   168 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:53,880 It is this friend, the Eucharistic Christ, who answers the hunger of mankind for understanding.   169 00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:01,880 Truly, he who comes to me shall not hunger.   170 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,880 It is the Eucharist of Christ who has satisfied the empty soul   171 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:14,880 and has filled the hungry soul with good things.   172 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,880 God love you.   173 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:59,540 ♪♪   174 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:11,320 From the very first days of his pontificate, our beloved Holy Father, Pope Paul VI, has   175 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:18,960 spoken of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as a noble and worthy form of that   176 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,880 authentic piety which today, particularly after the decrees of the Second Vatican Council,   177 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:31,080 we should foster towards the person of Jesus Christ.   178 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:38,800 In the sacred heart is symbolized the love of God for all mankind, and it is this love   179 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:46,520 which saves us and which gives us the strength to work for the salvation of the whole world.   180 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:53,980 It is most fitting that during this Eucharistic Congress, the military family should consecrate   181 00:21:53,980 --> 00:22:02,040 itself to the love of our divine Lord as it is symbolized in his sacred heart.   182 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:09,160 It was a soldier's lance which pierced the human heart of Christ, and we are all challenged   183 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:17,440 to put on the breastplate of salvation and take up arms against the evils of sin and   184 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,980 prejudice and selfishness in our world.   185 00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:28,840 May this dedication bring us many graces from the bountiful heart of Christ, and may we   186 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:37,440 all become more dedicated in our ministry and in our lives to the divine love of Jesus   187 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,320 as it is symbolized in his sacred heart.   188 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:50,120 And now I ask you to unite yourself with the members of the military family in this act   189 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,800 of consecration.   190 00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:00,960 Our Father in Heaven, out of merciful love for the human race, you sent your only Son   191 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,120 to be our brother, our Savior, and our King.   192 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:11,560 Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you became man in the womb of the Blessed Virgin   193 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:17,680 Mary, that you might love your brothers and sisters with a human heart.   194 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:24,040 Out of obedience to your father and out of love for us, you made the supreme sacrifice   195 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:30,840 of your life, teaching us by that act that there is no greater love than to lay down   196 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,880 one's life for one's friends and foes alike.   197 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:42,400 After your death on Calvary, you will that your sacred heart be opened by the lance of   198 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,520 a Roman soldier.   199 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:50,680 From your pierced heart there flowed blood and water, symbols of the outpouring of the   200 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Holy Spirit, of the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist, and of the birth of the   201 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,480 Church.   202 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:06,280 Lord Jesus, men and women of the military family everywhere realize only too well the   203 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:14,320 many times your gentle and humble heart has been pierced by the lance of war, of hatred,   204 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:21,320 of violence.

hillside and is brought together to form one bread,   6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,600 As grapes once grew wild in the vineyards and are brought together to form wine,   7 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:40,800 so are we called from the four corners of the earth to form one family, one body in Christ.   8 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,120 Tonight, we come together as one family to celebrate the Eucharist,   9 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,480 the sign of Christ truly present among us.   10 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:56,960 We acknowledge that there are many members of our human family suffering,   11 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,620 lonely, and in need.   12 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,220 We pray with these tonight,   13 00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:05,300 and we realize that we are indeed called   14 00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:09,820 to the service of these and all our brothers and sisters.   15 00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,320 We are called to live, to give,   16 00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:16,240 to touch, to help, to serve.   17 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,480 For Jesus is truly with us.   18 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440 So tonight, we celebrate the fact   19 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,600 that we live the Eucharist in serving the needs of others.   20 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,000 My brothers and sisters, Jesus has told us   21 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,300 that whatever you do to the least of my brothers,   22 00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:38,640 you do it to me.   23 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,020 Let us pause now and recall those times   24 00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:47,220 we have failed to love and ask forgiveness of our God   25 00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:49,640 and our fellow men and women.   26 00:01:53,440 --> 00:02:06,080 For the times we have not responded to your great love for us, Lord have mercy.   27 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:13,200 For the times we have failed to recognize you in others, Christ have mercy.   28 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:22,960 For the times we have been insensitive to the needs of others, Lord have mercy.   29 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:29,960 May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us of our sins, and bring us everlasting life.   30 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,960 Amen.   31 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960 Glory to God in the highest.   32 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,960 And peace to the people on earth.   33 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,960 Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God, Father,   34 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,960 We worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.   35 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,960 Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father.   36 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,960 Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world and have mercy on us.   37 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,960 You are seated at the right hand of the Father.   38 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,960 Receive our prayer.   39 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:15,960 For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High and the Jesus Christ.   40 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Let us pray.   41 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:38,440 God our Father, you are the source of all love.   42 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,800 By loving others, we show our love for you.   43 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:53,680 May we bring the Spirit of Christ to the ministry of serving our brothers and sisters.   44 00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:01,000 May we partake more fully in the establishment of your kingdom of love.   45 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,480 We ask this through Christ our Lord.   46 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:03,980 Amen.   47 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,340 Good evening.   48 00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:18,860 The first reading is taken from the book of Romans.   49 00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:22,460 Just as each of us has one body with many members,   50 00:04:22,460 --> 00:04:25,140 and not all members have the same function,   51 00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:29,180 so too we, though many, are one body in Christ   52 00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:32,180 and individually members of one another.   53 00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:35,140 We have gifts that differ according to the favor bestowed   54 00:04:35,140 --> 00:04:36,780 on each of us.   55 00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:39,060 One's gift may be prophecy.   56 00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:42,900 Its use should be in proportion to one's faith.   57 00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:44,900 It may be the gifts of ministry.   58 00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:47,580 It should be used for service.   59 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:51,900 One who is a teacher should use his gift for teaching.   60 00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:55,780 One with the power of exhortion should exhort.   61 00:04:55,780 --> 00:04:59,700 He who gives alms should do so generously.   62 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:04,340 He who rules should exercise his authority with care.   63 00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:09,180 He who performs works of mercy should do so cheerfully.   64 00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:11,380 Your love must be sincere.   65 00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:13,140 Detest what is evil.   66 00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:15,060 Cling to what is good.   67 00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:18,220 Love one another with the affection of brothers.   68 00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:21,320 Anticipate each other in showing respect.   69 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,300 Do not grow slack, but grow fervent in spirit.   70 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:28,020 He who you serve is the Lord.   71 00:05:28,020 --> 00:05:29,540 Rejoice in hope.   72 00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:31,580 Be patient under trial.   73 00:05:31,580 --> 00:05:33,780 Persevere in prayer.   74 00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:36,580 Look on the needs of the saints as your own.   75 00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:39,580 Be generous in offering hospitality.   76 00:05:39,580 --> 00:05:41,360 Bless your persecutors.   77 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,540 Bless and do not curse them.   78 00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:46,140 Rejoice with those who rejoice.   79 00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:48,540 Weep with those who weep.   80 00:05:48,540 --> 00:05:51,140 Have the same attitude toward all.   81 00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:54,420 Put away ambitious thoughts and associate   82 00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:56,540 with those who are lowly.   83 00:05:56,540 --> 00:06:00,380 Do not be wise in your own enthusiasm.   84 00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:02,920 Never repay injury with injury.   85 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,080 See that your conduct is honorable in the eyes of all.   86 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,560 If possible, live peaceably with everyone.   87 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,260 Be loved, do not avenge yourselves,   88 00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:15,480 leave that to God's wrath.   89 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,480 For it is written, vengeance is mine,   90 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,880 I will repay, says the Lord.   91 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,400 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him.   92 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680 If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.   93 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,200 By doing this, you will heap burning coals upon his head.   94 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,520 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.   95 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,240 This is the word of the Lord.   96 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,920 Thanks be to God.   97 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,760 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.   98 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Glory to you, Lord.   99 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Before the feast of Passover, Jesus   100 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,200 realized that the hour had come for him   101 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,040 to pass from this world to the Father.   102 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,200 He had loved his own in this world   103 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,040 and would show his love for them to the end.   104 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,220 The devil had already induced Judas,   105 00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:09,620 the son of Simon Iscariot, to hand Jesus over.   106 00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:13,540 And so, during the supper, Jesus,   107 00:07:13,540 --> 00:07:16,220 fully aware that he had come from God   108 00:07:16,220 --> 00:07:19,280 and was going to God, the father who had handed   109 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,940 everything over to him, rose from the meal   110 00:07:22,940 --> 00:07:24,300 and took off his cloak.   111 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:28,840 He picked up a towel and tied it around himself.   112 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:36,040 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet and dry them   113 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,240 with the towel he had around him.   114 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:47,360 Thus he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, are you going to wash my feet?   115 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:54,640 Jesus answered, You may not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.   116 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880 Peter replied, you shall never wash my feet.   117 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,020 If I do not wash you, Jesus answered,   118 00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:04,420 you will have no share in my heritage.   119 00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:08,240 Lord, Simon Peter said to him,   120 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,060 then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.   121 00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:16,380 Jesus told him, the man who has bathed   122 00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:19,420 has no need to wash except for his feet.   123 00:08:19,420 --> 00:08:24,420 He is entirely cleansed, just as you are, though not all.   124 00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:28,940 The reason he said not all was washed clean   125 00:08:28,940 --> 00:08:31,060 was that he knew about his betrayer.   126 00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:36,460 After he had washed their feet, he put his cloak back on   127 00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:38,520 and reclined at table once more.   128 00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:41,420 He then said to them,   129 00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:43,800 do you understand what I just did to you?   130 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:47,620 You address me as teacher and Lord,   131 00:08:47,620 --> 00:08:52,040 and fittingly enough, for that is what I am.   132 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,160 But if I washed your feet, I, who am teacher and Lord,   133 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,760 then you must watch each other's feet.   134 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,200 What I just did was to give you an example.   135 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,640 As I have done, so you must do.   136 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000 This is the good news of Jesus Christ.   137 00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:24,620 It was before Easter.   138 00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:31,620 Jesus knew that the time had come for him to pass from this world to the Father.   139 00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:38,620 He had loved those who lived in the world, and he loved them to the extreme.   140 00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:45,620 He had loved those who were in the world, and he loved them to the extreme.   141 00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:47,620 los amos hasta el extremo.   142 00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:51,620 Estaban cenando.   143 00:09:51,620 --> 00:09:55,620 El diablo le había metido ya en la cabeza a Judas,   144 00:09:55,620 --> 00:10:00,620 hijo de Simón Iscariote, de entregar a Jesús.   145 00:10:00,620 --> 00:10:05,620 Jesús, sabiendo que el padre le había puesto todo en su mano,   146 00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:11,620 y sabiendo que había venido de Dios y que a Dios volvía,   147 00:10:11,620 --> 00:10:18,620 He got up from the table, took off his cloak, and took a towel.   148 00:10:18,620 --> 00:10:26,620 He poured water into a bowl, and began to wash the disciples' feet,   149 00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:31,620 drying them with the towel he was wearing.   150 00:10:31,620 --> 00:10:35,620 When he reached Simon Peter, he said to him,   151 00:10:35,620 --> 00:10:40,620 Señor, tu lavame los pies a mis?   152 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:42,620 Jesús le replico.   153 00:10:42,620

cloak again and said to them,   166 00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:45,380 Do you understand what I have done to you?   167 00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:51,380 You call me Master and Lord, and you are right, because

  259 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:09,320 Luke tells us the story in the 24th chapter of his Gospel.   260 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:16,560 Two of the disciples of the Lord, the day after his burial, walking on a journey some   261 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:28,940 seven miles from the city of Jerusalem, downhearted, confused, looking for understanding, like   262 00:20:28,940 --> 00:20:37,980 so many young people today, and so many adults as well, were met by Jesus, whom they did   263 00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:41,540 not recognize.   264 00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:52,660 They spoke to him about how they used to hope, about how they used to hope.   265 00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:57,280 And so he began to explain to them all of the prophecies, explaining that the Son of   266 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,120 Man must suffer and die.   267 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:06,360 And they entreated him to come in with them to an inn, and he did so.   268 00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:11,360 Luke tells us, when he had seated himself with them to eat,   269 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,160 he took bread, pronounced the blessing,   270 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,520 then broke the bread and began to distribute it to them.   271 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,280 And with that, their eyes were opened   272 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,280 and they recognized him.   273 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,960 They got up and returned to Jerusalem   274 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,400 where they found the eleven   275 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,500 and the rest of the company assembled.   276 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,280 They recounted what had happened on the road   277 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:43,240 and how they had come to know him in the breaking of the bread.   278 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,240 They spread the good news.   279 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,360 He is risen.   280 00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,560 The Lord is risen.   281 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:56,600 He rose from the dead as he promised.   282 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,400 Now their eyes were opened in the breaking of the bread,   283 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,200 and they saw the Lord as the risen Lord,   284 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,600 just as the disciples at the last supper   285 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,280 saw that the Lord had come to serve.   286 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,080 They immediately rendered a service to others,   287 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,600 namely their fellow disciples.   288 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,500 They rushed back to Jerusalem with the good news.   289 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,000 And isn't all service in God's name   290 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,000 a proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ?   291 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000 Pope Paul thinks so.   292 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000 He recently said in his apostolic exhortation   293 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000 Evangelii Nunciandi, on proclaiming the good news,   294 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:55,000 in the long run, is there any other way of handing on the gospel   295 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000 than by transmitting it to another person?   296 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,000 by transmitting to that other person one's personal experience of faith.   297 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000 It must not happen that the pressing need to proclaim the good news to the multitudes   298 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000 should cause us to forget this form of proclamation   299 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000 whereby an individual's personal conscience is reached and touched   300 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000 by an entirely unique word that he receives from someone else.   301 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,000 There is no doubt that the effort to proclaim the gospel to the people of today,   302 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000 who are buoyed up by hope, but at the same time often oppressed by fear and distress,   303 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:51,000 is a service rendered to the entire Christian community and indeed to all of humanity.   304 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers.   305 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:08,000 And if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses also.   306 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Applause   307 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:25,000 St. Peter expresses this idea well when he says in 1 Peter 3, verse 1,   308 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000 Any woman married to a non-believing husband should live such an exemplary life   309 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,000 that she will win over that man even without a word,   310 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:45,000 who would refuse to hear and accept the spoken word.   311 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Service in God's name is in its own way a revealing of Christ through the very sign which is our service.   312 00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:02,000 The thing we do, the thing we say, the love that we show and share to one another,   313 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:09,000 the way we act, what we really are in ourselves, in our very being.   314 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,000 In this, we act like Christ. We are like Christ.   315 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:23,000 For Christ, as evangelizer, first of all proclaims a kingdom, the kingdom of God.   316 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000 But Christ also carries out this proclamation by innumerable signs,   317 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:34,000 which amaze the crowds and at the same time draw them to him in order to see him,   318 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000 to listen to him and allow themselves to be transformed by him.   319 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000 The sick are cured.   320 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Water is changed into wine.   321 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Bread is multiplied.   322 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,000 The dead come back to life.   323 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000 You are the bearers of the good news,   324 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000 the bearers of the mystery of faith.   325 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Christ has died.   326 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Christ is risen.   327 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:11,640 Christ will come again. You, the young, who constitute more than 50% of the church,   328 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:18,160 you are the bearers of the good news in a very special way.   329 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,320 It is the rising generation that will be able to bear new fruits of   330 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:39,460 evangelical life in situations and in the face of problems that those who   331 00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:46,100 lived before them perhaps did not know. For this reason, while on the one hand   332 00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:49,600 the Church particularly addresses herself to young people in the name of   333 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:57,040 the gospel, on the other hand she must allow herself to be addressed by their   334 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:04,040 way of living and by their way of speaking.   335 00:27:12,660 --> 00:27:18,180 In many respects, young people make up a world of their own and are considered for what they   336 00:27:18,180 --> 00:27:25,180 are today, not just for what they will be tomorrow. And yet they are the adults of tomorrow   337 00:27:25,180 --> 00:27:30,180 and they bring to each society the hopes of continuity and renewal.   338 00:27:30,180 --> 00:27:37,180 It is to them that will belong the responsibility for living and bearing among people   339 00:27:37,180 --> 00:27:42,180 the witness of faith, not just today, but tomorrow as well.   340 00:27:42,180 --> 00:27:46,180 And you who are gathered here in this auditorium tonight   341 00:27:46,180 --> 00:27:51,180 know this full well in a very practical way.   342 00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:56,180 For we truly celebrate here tonight service in God's name.   343 00:27:57,860 --> 00:28:02,860 You have spent yourselves, some 10 to 12 millions of you,   344 00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:07,620 throughout the United States and around the world,   345 00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:12,180 in giving of some 20 million hours of service   346 00:28:12,180 --> 00:28:14,100 in Operation Sign.   347 00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:33,540 Truly, you have spent yourself in being bread that is given.   348 00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:36,900 And in a few moments when the offertory procession approaches the altar...</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,560 which represent those millions of hours of service already rendered and yet to be rendered   2 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:17,300 in God's name. The tableau which we saw here this evening, after the proclamation of the   3 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:23,980 gospel in the three languages, depicted the type of service which you have been rendering.   4 00:00:23,980 --> 00:00:28,060 service to the environment, service to the needy,   5 00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:33,800 service to youth, service in tutoring, in education,   6 00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:38,640 service in nursing homes and rest homes,   7 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,800 service in life of prayer, and service in alleviating   8 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,540 the needs of the hungry all over the world.   9 00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:52,620 But keep in mind that you will not be equal to the task,   10 00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:58,840 challenge of the future if you do not permit Christ to nourish you with his   11 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:07,380 word and with his body and blood. Your eyes need to be opened to see him in   12 00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:12,780 each new human situation in which you will find yourself in the immediate and   13 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:21,460 in the remote future. In the words of Pope Paul, in its totality, evangelization   14 00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:26,900 over and above the preaching of a message consists in the implantation of   15 00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:32,500 the Church, which does not exist without the driving force which is the   16 00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:37,900 sacramental life culminating in the Eucharist.   17 00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:50,820 It is my fervent hope and prayer that you will never cease to return to this   18 00:01:50,820 --> 00:02:00,180 table of the Lord until that day when he will come again in glory. Come Lord Jesus.   19 00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:27,300 My brothers and sisters, let us turn our hearts to the Father and pray for our needs, the   20 00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,460 the needs of the whole church, the needs of the world.   21 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,100 Please respond, Lord, hear our prayer.   22 00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,140 For all the Christian people,   23 00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:46,640 that they be united in the love of God,   24 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,480 let us pray to the Lord.   25 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,320 Lord, hear our prayer.   26 00:02:50,320 --> 00:03:02,960 Para que siempre sigamos conscientes de nuestras responsabilidades con los pobres, los necesitados   27 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,960 y los oprimidos.   28 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,820 Logremos al Señor.   29 00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:15,360 That we may always be conscious of our responsibility to the poor, the needy, and the oppressed.   30 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,360 Let us pray to the Lord.   31 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,340 Lord, hear our prayer.   32 00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:31,340 Pour les vieux, les malades et les mourants,   33 00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:34,840 que nous puissions les soutenir par notre amour,   34 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,340 prions au Seigneur.   35 00:03:39,340 --> 00:03:42,840 For the aged, the sick and the dying,   36 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,640 that we may sustain them by our love.   37 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,440 Let us pray to the Lord.   38 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Lord, hear our prayer.   39 00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:57,440 That those of us here who live the Eucharist in our lives,   40 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,140 let us pray to the Lord.   41 00:03:59,140 --> 00:04:01,140 Lord, hear our prayer.   42 00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:11,440 That the youth will strive to understand the importance of the Eucharist.   43 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,320 that the youth will strive to understand   44 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,960 the needs of others.   45 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Let us pray to the Lord.   46 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,360 Lord, hear our prayer.   47 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,520 That we might always be signs of service in God's name,   48 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,160 let us pray to the Lord.   49 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200 Lord, hear our prayer.   50 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760 For our friend Eileen Potts, who cannot be here with us   51 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,880 tonight, who has been a vital part of the sign,   52 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,480 let us pray to the Lord.   53 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480 Lord, hear our prayer.   54 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,040 Father, we want to serve you with all our hearts.   55 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,840 With confidence, we ask you to hear our needs.   56 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,920 Grant them according to your will.   57 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,080 As always, we ask this through Christ our Lord.   58 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:07,580 Amen.   59 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:21,480 Since the beginning of our church in Jerusalem, it has been customary to present gifts at the altar during the celebration of the Eucharist.   60 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:30,480 People brought bread and wine to celebrate the Eucharist, as well as food and clothing for those needy members of the Christian community.   61 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:38,040 Tonight, we continue that long tradition of the church as we bring forward our gifts to   62 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:44,940 be placed on the altar, our table of celebration for the Eucharistic meal.   63 00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:52,060 We offer bags of food which symbolize our concern for the starving millions in our human   64 00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:53,680 family.   65 00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:00,840 This food has been collected in a special food drive called Manna, which was sponsored   66 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:07,240 by the Eucharistic Congress Youth Committee and the Cardinals Commission on Human Relations.   67 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,160 After our mass tonight, this food will be distributed to needy families in the Philadelphia   68 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,200 area.   69 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,600 We offer ourselves in service.   70 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:25,660 For one year previous to this night, over 10 million young people in 11 countries have   71 00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:42,720 been involved in Operation Sign, performing works of service in God's name.   72 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,720 Over 30 million people in our human family have been served by these young people living   73 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,760 the Eucharist.   74 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:59,540 Tonight we offer over 18,250,000 hours of service which have been pledged in the name   75 00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:04,480 of the Eucharist.   76 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Finally, we offer our gifts of bread and wine.   77 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,980 of bread and wine.   78 00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:29,260 Pray, my brothers and sisters,   79 00:07:29,260 --> 00:07:32,700 that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God,   80 00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:34,360 the Almighty Father.   81 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,900 May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands.   82 00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:42,900 We praise the Lord at this time for our good and the good of all his church.   83 00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:54,900 Lord, look upon this offering which we make to you from the many good things you have given us.   84 00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:04,900 This Eucharist is the sign of your abundant life and the unity of all men and women in your love.   85 00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:14,460 May it keep us aware of our Christian duty to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters.   86 00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:16,460 We ask this through Christ our Lord.   87 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:41,900 The Lord be with you.   88 00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:46,400 Lift up your hearts.   89 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:53,100 Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.   90 00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:59,900 Father all powerful and ever living God, we praise and thank you through Jesus Christ our   91 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:06,180 Lord for your presence and action in the world.   92 00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:09,180 In the midst of conflict and division,   93 00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:15,180 we know it is you who turn our minds to thoughts of peace.   94 00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:18,740 Your spirit changes our hearts.   95 00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:22,860 Enemies begin to speak to one another.   96 00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:28,260 Those who were estranged join hands in friendship.   97 00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:33,060 and nations seek the way of peace together.   98 00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:36,700 Your spirit is at work when understanding   99 00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:43,380 puts an end to strife, when hatred is quenched by mercy,   100 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:48,020 and vengeance gives way to forgiveness.   101 00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:52,180 For this, we should never cease to thank and praise you.   102 00:09:52,180 --> 00:09:55,020 We join with all the choirs of heaven   103 00:09:55,020 --> 00:09:57,860 as they sing forever to your glory.   104 00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:06,800 God of power and might,   105 00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:11,420 we praise you through your son, Jesus Christ,   106 00:10:11,420 --> 00:10:13,220 who comes in your name.   107 00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:17,220 He is the word that brings salvation.   108 00:10:18,740 --> 00:10:21,280 He is the hand you stretch out to sinners.   109 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,280 He is the way that leads to your peace.   110 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,280 God, our Father, we had wandered far from you,   111 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,280 but through your Son you have brought us back.   112 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,280 You gave him up to death so that we might turn again to you   113 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,280 and find our way to one another.   114 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:53,220 Therefore, we celebrate the reconciliation Christ has gained for us.   115 00:10:53,220 --> 00:11:00,040 We ask you to sanctify these gifts by the power of your Spirit as we now fulfill your   116 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,040 Son's command.   117 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:11,560 While he was at supper on the night before he died for us, he took bread in his hands   118 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,200 and gave you thanks and praise.   119 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,400 He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples and said,   120 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,680 take this all of you and eat it.   121 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,320 This is my body, which will be given up for you.   122 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,000 At the end of the meal, he took the cup.   123 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,720 Again, he praised you for your goodness,   124 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,640 He gave the cup to his disciples and said,   125 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,160 take this, all of you, and drink from it.   126 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560 This is the cup of my blood,   127 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:54,520 the blood of the new and everlasting covenant.   128 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,440 It will be shed for you and for all men   129 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,080 so that sins may be forgiven.   130 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,840 Do this in memory of me.   131 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:24,680 Lord, our God, your Son has entrusted to us this pledge of his love.   132 00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:31,160 We celebrate the memory of his death and resurrection and bring you the gift you have given us,   133 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,560 the sacrifice of reconciliation.   134 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:39,840 Therefore we ask you, Father, to accept us together with your Son.   135 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,760 Fill us with his Spirit.   136 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,720 Through our sharing in this meal, may he take away all that divides us.   137 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:54,920 May this Spirit keep us always in communion with Paul, our Pope, John, Bishop of this   138 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,760 Church, and we, your unworthy servants, with all the bishops and all your people.   139 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:07,160 Father, make your Church throughout the world a sign of unity and an instrument of your   140 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,120 peace.   141 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,000 You have gathered us here around the table of your Son, in fellowship with the Virgin   142 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,720 Mary, Mother of God, and all the saints.   143 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,440 In that new world where the fullness of your peace will be revealed, gather people of every   144 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:34,960 race, language, and way of life to share in the one eternal banquet with Jesus Christ   145 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,960 the Lord.   146 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:46,960 Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, our glory and honor is   147 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,960 yours, Almighty Father, forever and ever.   148 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,960 Jesus taught us to call God our Father, and so we have the courage to say,   149 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,960 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.   150 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,680 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,   151 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,160 on earth as it is in heaven.   152 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,960 Give us this day our daily bread,   153 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,960 and forgive us our trespasses, as you forgive those   154 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,960 who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation,   155 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,960 but deliver us from evil.   156 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:32,880 Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day.   157 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:40,720 In your mercy, keep us free from sin, and protect us from all anxiety, as we wait in   158 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:51,720 joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.   159 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,620 Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles,   160 00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:58,860 I leave you peace, my peace I give you.   161 00:15:00,860 --> 00:15:05,040 Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your church,   162 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,140 and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom,   163 00:15:10,140 --> 00:15:12,340 for you live forever and ever.   164 00:15:12,340 --> 00:15:13,440 Amen.   165 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,980 The peace of the Lord be with you always.   166 00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:18,180 And also with you.   167 00:15:18,180 --> 00:15:21,420 Let's offer each other a sign of peace.   168 00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:39,060 God, our Father, in the Eucharist, you give us the strength to serve.   169 00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:45,940 By our sharing in the sacrament of unity, fill us with a strong and unselfish love,   170 00:15:45,940 --> 00:15:51,740 that we may always work in the service of your name.   171 00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:57,940 We ask this through Christ our Lord.   172 00:15:57,940 --> 00:16:05,620 Before we bring this liturgy to a close, you should know that we have with us tonight a   173 00:16:05,620 --> 00:16:14,140 much beloved and revered apostle of service in Christ's name in our day.   174 00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:21,140 in heart than anyone here, she speaks a language that every age can understand. I refer to   175 00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:28,780 Mother Teresa of Calcutta.   176 00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:34,220 We will say prayer for our brothers and sisters, the young of the world.   177 00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:42,900 Make us worthy, Lord, to serve our fellow men throughout the world, who live and die   178 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:47,360 in poverty and hunger.   179 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:55,000 Give them through our hands this day their daily bread, and by our understanding, love,   180 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,000 give peace and joy.   181 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Jesus said to the young people of His time,   182 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,760 if you want to be My disciple,   183 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,200 take up the cross and follow Me.   184 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,160 And before He took His own cross,   185 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,160 He knew that we needed Him,   186 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,040 that we wouldn't be able to follow Him.   187 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,520 We wouldn't be able to make our stations of the cross.   188 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:42,880 He made himself into bread of life and he said, unless you eat my flesh and drink my   189 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:53,160 blood you cannot live, you cannot follow me, you cannot be my disciple.   190 00:18:53,160 --> 00:19:05,640 And today, though he himself need not take the cross and walk the Calvary and make his   191 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:17,280 stations of the cross, but today in you and in me and the young of the world, he has,   192 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,440 he lives, he relives his passion.   193 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:33,800 And the young child, the hungry child, who ate the piece of bread, crumb by crumb, because   194 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:44,720 the child was afraid, lest the bread will finish and she'll be hungry again.   195 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,320 That was the first station of the cross.   196 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Do I see that?   197 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,280 Very often we look and we do not see.   198 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,680 We all have to take the cross.   199 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:07,820 We all have to follow Christ to Calvary if we want to rise with Him.   200 00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:20,580 And I think that's why Jesus, before he died, he gave us his body, he gave us his blood,   201 00:20:20,580 --> 00:20:28,260 that we may live, that we may have the courage, that we may have life to be able to carry   202 00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:35,860 the cross and follow him step by step.   203 00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:48,140 In our stations of the cross, we see Jesus at the poor, in the hungry, falling.   204 00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:51,340 Are we there to help Him?   205 00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:57,180 Are we there with our sacrifice, with our bread, real bread?   206 00:20:57,180 --> 00:21:02,860 There are thousands of people that die for a piece of bread.   207 00:21:02,860 --> 00:21:09,020 There are thousands and thousands of people who die for a little bit of love, for a little   208 00:21:09,020 --> 00:21:12,860 bit of recognition.   209 00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:23,460 That is the station of the cross of Jesus in the hungry, falling.   210 00:21:23,460 --> 00:21:29,100 And we have that fourth station of the cross where He meets His Mother.   211 00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:37,420 Are we a mother to the suffering, a mother of love, of understanding?   212 00:21:37,420 --> 00:21:45,300 Are we there to understand our young people when they fall, when they are lonely, when   213 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,540 they feel unwanted?   214 00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:50,740 Are we there?   215 00:21:50,740 --> 00:21:55,740 Simon Cyrenus took up the cross and followed Jesus,   216 00:21:57,020 --> 00:21:59,520 helped Jesus to carry his cross.   217 00:22:00,740 --> 00:22:04,060 What you young people have done during this year   218 00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:09,980 as a sign of love, those millions and thousands of things   219 00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:13,940 that you have offered for Jesus and the poor,   220 00:22:14,980 --> 00:22:19,340 you were Simon Cyrenus during those days.   221 00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:22,340 during each action that you did.   222 00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:30,260 And Veronica, are we a Veronica to our poor,   223 00:22:30,620 --> 00:22:34,780 to the lonely ones, to the unwanted ones?

Nourished by such heavenly food, we 6 00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:28,740 we can, like Elijah, complete our pilgrimage to the mountain of God, following the way 7 00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:35,220 of love, even as Christ loved us. 8 00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:42,780 In today's Gospel we have the central part of Christ's Eucharistic discourse which 9 00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:50,140 occupies most of chapter 6 of St. John's Gospel. 10 00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:59,300 Biblical scholars point out that it is a characteristic of St. John's Gospel to present, together 11 00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:07,940 with the historical sense of the words spoken by Jesus, the deeper meaning which Christians 12 00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:16,520 could understand because of their faith and liturgical life, but which would often be 13 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:23,440 beyond the comprehension of his immediate hearers. 14 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,680 This is particularly true of Christ's words, 15 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,800 I am the bread come down from heaven. 16 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:41,720 The people who have witnessed the multiplication of the loaves and fishes fail to rise above 17 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,640 the practical value of the miracle for them. 18 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:54,920 Their vision was limited to material and political advantages. 19 00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:00,920 gospel opens with their protest because Jesus claimed, 20 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,920 I am the bread come down from heaven. 21 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:09,920 They kept saying, is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? 22 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,920 Do we not know his father and mother? 23 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,920 How can he claim to come down from heaven? 24 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,920 Jesus does not answer their protest, 25 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:27,920 but continues to insist that they respond to God's grace and believe in Him. 26 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:34,920 To John, who wrote the marvellous prologue to his Gospel, 27 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,920 affirming that the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, 28 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:49,920 the protest of the Jews at Capernaum must have seemed in retrospect extremely limited and earthly. 29 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:57,920 So it appears to Christians who share John's faith for Jesus' words, 30 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,920 I am the bread come down from heaven. 31 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,920 In fact, they turn our thoughts to the sublime mystery of the Incarnation, 32 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,920 for that is the way Christ came down from heaven. 33 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:22,920 The Son of God, the Word, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. 34 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,920 Cardinal Newman, for whom the Incarnation was the greatest of miracles, 35 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:40,920 while still an Anglican, affirmed that Mary's part in the Incarnation strengthens our faith in that mystery. 36 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Nothing, he says, is so calculated to impress on our minds that Christ is really partaker 37 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:59,240 of our nature, and in all respects man saved sin only, as to associate him with the thought 38 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:06,720 of her by whose ministration he became our brother. 39 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:15,200 St Bonaventure, reflecting on the providential part assigned to the Blessed Virgin Mary in 40 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:23,680 the mystery of the Incarnation and her consequent relationship with the whole work of redemption, 41 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:31,440 stresses the importance of Mary's patronage for fruitful participation in the Eucharistic 42 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,440 mysteries. 43 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:38,440 In a sermon on Corpus Christi, he declares, 44 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Only by the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary 45 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,440 is the excellence of this sacrament obtained. 46 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,440 And for this reason, just as through her 47 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,440 is given to us the most sacred body 48 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,440 which was manifested to us and born from her womb, 49 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,440 so should it be offered and received through her hands. 50 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:13,440 May our Blessed Mother, whom Elizabeth called blessed on account of her believing, 51 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:21,440 obtain for us a deep and vital faith in the mystery of the Eucharist. 52 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:32,440 In the final verse of today's Gospel, there is a clear transition to the Eucharistic theme. 53 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440 Jesus declares, 54 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,440 The bread I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. 55 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:52,440 Our Saviour asserts clearly and unequivocally that the heavenly bread of which He is now speaking is His flesh. 56 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:59,440 This is the Eucharist, His flesh given to us under the species of bread. 57 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,440 This is the sublime gift Christ has given His Church. 58 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,440 This is the reason for our presence here today. 59 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:18,800 Let us examine a little more closely the significance of these words spoken by Christ. 60 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,600 Jesus says, 61 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,400 The bread I will give is my flesh. 62 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Let us pay particular attention to the word give in this context. 63 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,680 It has a sacrificial connotation. 64 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,360 It means to give up to death. 65 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:48,400 In John 3, verse 16, we read God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son 66 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,080 so that those who believe in Him may not perish. 67 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:01,080 Saint Paul in that part of the epistle to the Ephesians that forms the second reading 68 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:10,000 today recalls the sacrifice of Christ who gave himself for us an offering to God a gift 69 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:18,520 of pleasing fragrance. Jesus, in the words we quoted therefore, is referring to his own 70 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:28,400 sacrifice on the cross. That is why the Apostle tells the Ephesians, follow the way of love 71 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:35,460 even as Christ loved you. These words echo the new commandment given by our 72 00:08:35,460 --> 00:08:40,860 Savior himself, love one another as I have loved you. 73 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:48,900 Saint Paul exhorts his readers to act in accordance with their dignity as sons of 74 00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:57,540 God, redeemed by Christ and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Do nothing, he says, to sadden 75 00:08:57,540 --> 00:09:05,020 the Holy Spirit with whom you were sealed against the day of redemption. 76 00:09:05,020 --> 00:09:13,000 For this reason he urges them to get rid of all bitterness, all passion, harsh words, 77 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,080 slander of every kind. 78 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:24,520 He then adds a positive program saying, in place of these, be kind to one another, compassionate 79 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:31,720 and mutually forgiving, just as God has forgiven you in Christ. 80 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,880 Christ taught His disciples the Lord's Prayer 81 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:42,600 and instilled into them the idea that they could ask the Father's forgiveness 82 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:48,160 in the measure that they forgave others their offences. 83 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,040 The same Divine Master also laid down the principle 84 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,520 that anyone bringing a gift to the altar, and there remembering that his brother had 85 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:09,120 something against him, must leave his gift at the altar, go and be reconciled, and then, 86 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,240 and only then, come and offer his gift. 87 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:21,640 What a different place the world would be if all of us who are Christians lived at the 88 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:30,620 the Eucharist in this way. Truly then, Christ would achieve through us the program contained 89 00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:37,320 in the words of today's Gospel. The bread I will give is my flesh for the life of the 90 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:48,040 world. Jesus, having affirmed that He will offer His own body in sacrifice, goes on to 91 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:57,200 specify the purpose for the life of the world. This purpose is indeed all-embracing, without 92 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:07,380 limitations of class and nation and culture, but is for all mankind in every age and clime 93 00:11:07,380 --> 00:11:16,440 until the end of time. After His passion, death and resurrection, Christ sent His life-giving 94 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:24,560 Spirit upon His disciples and through the same Spirit set up His body which is the Church 95 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:28,920 as the universal sacrament of salvation. 96 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:35,760 Our blessed Lord wants His Church to be a sign and instrument of union with God and 97 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,960 of the unity of all mankind. 98 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:46,080 He has endowed this Church with the sacraments and especially the Blessed Eucharist which 99 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:54,320 which contains the Church's entire spiritual wealth, namely Christ Himself, our Pasch, 100 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:02,440 and the living bread which gives life to man, that flesh which is given life and gives life 101 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,040 through the Spirit. 102 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:15,520 The Statia Orbis is the focal point, the culminating event of an international Eucharistic Congress. 103 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:23,520 It is at this moment the place of worship of the Universal Church of the whole world, 104 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:32,520 uniting us in bonds of faith with the Holy Father and with millions of our brothers throughout the world. 105 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:39,520 As such, it constitutes a challenge to each of us here present 106 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:48,720 to be conscious of the mission of the Church to the whole world as the universal sacrament of salvation. 107 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,760 Each one of us can share in this vision and in this universal mission 108 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,440 by accepting this challenge in our own lives and circumstances. 109 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:08,400 The Eucharistic sacrifice, which is the source and summit of the whole of the Church's worship 110 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,880 and of the Christian life will be the epicenter. 111 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,960 At the same time we must remember that the celebration of the Eucharist, 112 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,280 the celebration of Christ's total giving of Himself, 113 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,480 if it is to be genuine and complete, should lead us to various works of 114 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,960 charity and mutual help as well as to missionary 115 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:46,000 activity and different forms of Christian witness. This may seem an arduous program, 116 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,560 but let us be conscious of the power of the Eucharist to serve our every need, and like 117 00:13:52,560 --> 00:14:00,200 the heavenly nourishment provided for Elijah, to enable us to reach the end of our pilgrimage, 118 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:08,400 mountain of God. May we remember too that bonds of charity link us with millions of 119 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:17,680 others who strive to see and serve Christ in their lives. In this way we can all become 120 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:24,880 humble instruments for the realization of Christ's plan to give his flesh for the life 121 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:33,360 of the world and in the words of Pope Paul to satisfy as he alone can all the 122 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,920 hungers of the human family. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the 123 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,240 Holy Spirit, Amen. 124 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:51,040 Brothers and sisters, call out to our Father who yearns to satisfy the hungers 125 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:58,040 of his children, he will draw us to Jesus, the bread of life. 126 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,040 We pray to you, Lord. 127 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:59,040 Raise up leaders who will speak your word of freedom and justice. 128 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:09,040 Create a new heart in whoever is enslaved by prejudice and oppression. 129 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,040 We pray to you, Lord. 130 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,040 give us this day our daily bread, 131 00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:17,260 and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass 132 00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:19,260 against us. 133 00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:36,200 Give us the spirit through which the word has been made flesh for 134 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,300 the salvation of the world, that your Church should be the sign 135 00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,300 We pray to you, Lord. 136 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,300 Lord, hear our prayer. 137 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:54,300 Señor, danos la oportunidad de ver y saborear las riquezas de tu creación, 138 00:16:54,300 --> 00:17:03,300 de razas y culturas, de jóvenes y viejos, de hombre y mujer. 139 00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:05,300 Te lo pedimos, Señor. 140 00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,300 We pray to you, Lord. 141 00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:28,300 Apri i nostri occhi e le nostre orecchie, alla magnificenza della tua opera. 142 00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:48,300 Fa' che la fede nella vita eterna sia la luce di verità e di giudizio ti preghiamo, O Signore. 143 00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,300 We pray to you, Lord. 144 00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:54,300 Lord, hear our prayer. 145 00:17:54,300 --> 00:18:01,300 We pray to you, Lord. 146 00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:08,300 We pray to you, Lord. 147 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:12,420 and the fear of the unknown. 148 00:18:12,420 --> 00:18:16,840 Defend us from the darkness. 149 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,560 We ask of you. 150 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,140 We pray to you, Lord. 151 00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:25,060 Lord, hear our prayer. 152 00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:30,200 Let us be filled with the love, 153 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,400 the passion, 154 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,040 and the hope. 155 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:56,660 We pray to you, Lord. 156 00:18:56,660 --> 00:19:02,120 We pray to you, Lord. 157 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:12,120 Father in heaven you have made us for yourself.

brought us all together, His Eminence the Archbishop of Philadelphia.   3 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:47,520 Thank you, Dr. Milady, for the charge you made of holding me responsible to that charge   4 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,640 I plead innocent.   5 00:00:50,640 --> 00:01:01,760 There are many people who have worked diligently and efficiently, and they are the ones to   6 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,400 whom any credit that might be deserved must be attributed.   7 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:13,560 Your Eminence Cardinal Knox, your Reminences, your Excellencies, my brother priests, revered   8 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:26,320 sisters and dear brothers and sisters in Christ, a cordial welcome to you.   9 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:36,680 You help to lend purpose and effectiveness to the goals and objectives of this Eucharistic   10 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,960 Congress.   11 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:50,360 We had the liturgical services yesterday, but I assure you that this particular conference   12 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:59,600 is an essential ingredient of the total Congress, hungers of the human family.   13 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:08,400 I know that there have been many conferences, symposiums, held on hunger in the world.   14 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:15,520 I would hope that this one would be just a little different, that it would have a   15 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:27,560 dimension which is distinctive and proper to the theme of the Congress, the Eucharist,   16 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,320 the sacrament of Christ's love.   17 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:45,040 And I would hope that in your discussions and in your conclusions that you would reflect   18 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,760 the charity and the love of Christ.   19 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:58,240 I say this because we all have a tendency to point the finger of accusation and place   20 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,800 blame.   21 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,520 And who of us is free of blame?   22 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:16,240 We can point to the big nations for their opulence, for their indifference.   23 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:27,160 We can point to some of the undeveloped nations for lacking the will and the determination   24 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,880 to attend to some of their own problems.   25 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,880 We should not assume that anybody is helpless.   26 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,480 They face difficult conditions, yes.   27 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:49,600 But this tendency towards placing a finger of accusation, I would hope, would be at least   28 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,280 restricted if it must be to specific targets.   29 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:01,680 The broad sweep of the brush, the generalizations about the good guys and the bad guys helps   30 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040 nothing.   31 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:14,440 We in the United States acknowledge that there is so much to be done.   32 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:23,320 And yet if you look at the record, there is no nation in the world that has done as   33 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:31,920 much, tried as much as has the United States in being sensitive to other peoples.   34 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,120 It hasn't done all that it can.   35 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,440 I'm not suggesting that.   36 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:43,320 But incidentally, this is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.   37 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,600 And we have to in charity understand that we are the responsible people.   38 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,520 Our legislators are sensitive to us, and they are inclined to say that foreign aid never   39 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,400 gains votes.   40 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:04,800 But we must reflect our concerns to them, our true concerns in charity, in love, and   41 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:14,120 help them to know that this is a responsibility of ours and a responsibility of theirs.   42 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:28,160 And I plead with you, attend all the problems with truth, with justice, but above all, with   43 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,920 the charity and the love which is signified by the Eucharist and which in this theme   44 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:43,200 should dominate and govern your discussions and your conclusions.   45 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:54,440 Again, thank you for your presence, and please do all you can to attend to this very vital   46 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,960 ingredient, vital element of the Eucharistic Congress.   47 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:00,960 Thank you.   48 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,960 God bless you.   49 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:15,160 It is my distinct pleasure to present Bishop de Souza, the Bishop of Baroda, India.   50 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:37,240 Your Eminence the Papal Legate, Your Eminence Cardinal Skidmore of Philadelphia, my Lord,   51 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:48,600 Archbishops and Bishops, Monsignor, I, fathers, sisters, brothers, and dear friends, the frightening   52 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:57,640 fact of material hunger and malnutrition is glaringly clear to all of us.   53 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:08,040 We need only to open our eyes to the misery of the disgusting sites of slums and our years   54 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:16,360 to the agonizing price of suffering humanity, to the utter frustration and loneliness of   55 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:26,240 the people who in solitude silently look into the future and see no hope.   56 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:34,720 On the other hand, when we are told that two-thirds of the world's population go to bed hungry   57 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:42,360 every night, we are dazed at the magnitude of the problem.   58 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,640 We cannot visualize or even comprehend the true picture.   59 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,560 We are apt to call it an exaggeration.   60 00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:01,400 The tragedy is indeed universal and revolts against two Christian sense.   61 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:12,600 They are not imaginary crowds, but individuals with their proper name, human dignity, feelings   62 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,920 like any other human being, conscious of their rights and duties.   63 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:26,400 They are daily seen searching with sunken eyes and distended bellies for a morsel of   64 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:34,640 bread or bone in the garbage containers placed near five-star hotels of the concrete jungle   65 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:42,560 of our cities, or going about in the dense forest to look for roots or wild berries to   66 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,360 satisfy the gnawing pangs of hunger.   67 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,880 Perhaps we often look at such sites with the eyes of the Pharisee and the Levite in the   68 00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:01,240 gospel of the Good Samaritan and pass by unconcerned.   69 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:08,640 These are not made-up stories of missionaries engaged in preaching the word of God, but   70 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:15,200 are stark realities that face them on their daily rounds.   71 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:23,280 They have to sit down and listen to the problems of each individual who has his own sad story   72 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520 to tell.   73 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:34,240 It is admirable that most often the individual is not concerned about his own suffering or   74 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,920 strength or health.   75 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,480 He is worried about his children.   76 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,200 He sees them starving.   77 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:53,840 He is prepared to work, but he is already worn out and weary from anxiety and unemployment.   78 00:09:53,840 --> 00:10:00,680 He has to drag his limbs to find and work for three days to be able to feed his family   79 00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,680 for a day.   80 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:13,800 He is already a victim of tuberculosis, the result of malnutrition from his early days.   81 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:23,480 When we say that people die of hunger, we mean that they live under inhuman conditions   82 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:31,560 and die of various types of diseases, the root cause being hunger.   83 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:36,400 How are we to tackle this universal tragedy?   84 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:43,440 As practicing Christians, we have the word of life and the bread of life.   85 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,400 We have to break and share it as Christ did.   86 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800 Do more and talk less.   87 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,760 Pray both in word and in deed.   88 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:05,080 If there is anything which became clear as a result of the Second Vatican Council, it   89 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:14,160 is the idea that our pilgrim church is one of service, that Christianity is social or   90 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,560 it is nothing, Cardinal Schuhert.   91 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:25,600 That we are to take an active prayerful interest in what is going on in the contemporary world   92 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,160 at international, national and local level.   93 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:40,760 Unless we become part of the mainstream of life, we shall abdicate our Christian heritage.   94 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:48,000 What a Christian ought to do was explained to us by Christ when he instituted the divine   95 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:57,480 Eucharist at the Last Supper, love one another as I have loved you.   96 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:05,560 Unless Christians everywhere carry out these ideals of love and service in their daily   97 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:14,880 life, the grand statements of the Council will ring hollow or even worse, stand and   98 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,360 speak out in condemnation.   99 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:30,920 You are my friends if you do what I command you, St. John chapter 15, verse 14.   100 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:40,040 Hence, if Christianity means anything, it means the breaking down of all sorts of man-made   101 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:52,360 barriers, frontiers, divisions of nations, caste, class, color, creed and social standards,   102 00:12:52,360 --> 00:13:03,800 militating against the Holy Eucharist, the sacrament of love, prayer, service and unity.   103 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:12,960 Frontiers and divisions of all sorts are the direct result of sin, human narrowness   104 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:23,960 and selfishness that lead to exploitation from which God made man, liberated us to share   105 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:32,760 together God's own goodness, solicitude and sincere sympathetic concern and love.   106 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,080 I have compassion on the multitude.   107 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:47,400 As true patriots of the new heavenly Jerusalem, our attachment is no longer local, racial   108 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,880 or national but human and supranational.   109 00:13:53,880 --> 00:14:05,480 We fight not for our country but for civilization of love and secure by individual and cooperative   110 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:13,880 organization the development of our resources for the greatest benefit of mankind to meet   111 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:21,480 and to satisfy the immediate needs to overcome hunger and disease.   112 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:31,400 The reason and the will of the universe work to the human individual who can see and understand   113 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:39,880 the forces of the environment, foresee their operation and regulate them.   114 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:47,800 We need to be continually, continually trained in and reminded of the ideals of the sacredness   115 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,560 and supremacy of spiritual life.   116 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,320 The sense of the brotherhood of mankind and love of peace.   117 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:07,320 Christ wants us to transform the earth into his image by the practice of the spiritual   118 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,840 and bodily works of mercy.   119 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:21,000 Indeed, it is only by being so that we can become true sons to the father and heirs to   120 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,800 eternal life.   121 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,960 For as Christ has said, I was hungry and you gave me food.   122 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,040 Naked and you clothed me.   123 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,720 Stranger and you made me welcome.   124 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:42,800 I enter therefore into the eternal joy of my father.   125 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:51,600 How can I ever call myself by the holy and distinguishing name of a Christian when I   126 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:59,000 have what is given to me and refuse to share it with my brother in want?   127 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:07,280 Christ does not tell us to give one out of twenty or to give what is surplus or give   128 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:14,320 after making provision for many years to come unto the third and fourth generation.   129 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:26,040 Christ tells us to share in a meaningful way what we have today with the needy of today.   130 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:34,000 This is not a modern theology or the so-called black theology of liberation.   131 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,760 It is the traditional Christian theology of liberation to be admitted to real reconciliation   132 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:49,000 with God and exonerated from the sad destinies of sin.   133 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,880 To be raised from the fertility of evil and the darkness of death.   134 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:01,080 To have been engaged in the plan and in the school of love.   135 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:08,480 You are not making a gift of your possessions to the poor person, Sir St. Ambrose.   136 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,800 You are handing over to him what is his.   137 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:20,600 For what is given in common for the use of all, you have arrogated to yourself.   138 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:30,240 The world is given to all and not only to the powerful and to the rich.   139 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:39,120 If we want to change anything, we have to start with ourselves individually as Christians,   140 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:43,720 as privileged members of the body of Christ.   141 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:49,240 It is not a change in structures that changes our life.   142 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,760 At best, it can make it easier.   143 00:17:52,760 --> 00:18:01,920 We can be sure, however, that whenever and wherever there is new life lived in Christ,   144 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:09,280 the old man-made structures certainly change or crumble.   145 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:16,320 When a man becomes a new creature in Christ, his old life has disappeared.   146 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,680 Everything has become new about him.   147 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,000 Saint Paul to the Corinthians.   148 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,440 If therefore we seriously live the gospel of Christ,   149 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:35,160 we are in an excellent position to help change the situation   150 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:43,120 and solve this universal revolting riddle and tragedy that afflicts mankind.   151 00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:52,880 By and large, we are the ones who have accumulated control and direct the finances.   152 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,600 It is a lame excuse from the Christian point of view to say,   153 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,960 I have earned what I have the hard way.   154 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,800 I have obtained all within the law.   155 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:14,360 I have deprived no one of what is his, etc.   156 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:20,960 But the liberating truth is, if I have so much and others have nothing,   157 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,880 I am an unjust steward in the eyes of God   158 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,120 and a fake Christian before Christ and before the world.   159 00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:37,320 I am not witnessing Christ.   160 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:45,200 Why should we wait for the problem to be tackled and solved at the international level?   161 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,200 We cannot afford to wait for international action to take place.   162 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:58,760 It is true that we can and should contribute to create a world opinion   163 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,200 and pressure that demands such an action.   164 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:11,920 Urgency, however, demands that we do something on a personal and group level.   165 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:19,960 The need of today is action and not the mere passing of resolutions.   166 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,640 It is in keeping with the apostolic age and tradition.   167 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:30,600 We have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles,   168 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:37,520 but we have certainly heard a great deal about their acts.   169 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,320 We simply have to take the gospel seriously   170 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:48,160 without making an exercise of the words of the gospel   171 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:55,600 and literally give and share of what we have with those who do not have.   172 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:01,000 It is Christ who still wonders here in our midst,   173 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:08,160 who stands appealingly and knocks at the door of every human heart,   174 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:19,400 which is all too often securely locked by the heavy and unbreakable locks of selfishness and greed.   175 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:27,920 Unless we open them from inside, it is impossible for him who longs to enter   176 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:38,800 to teach us the simple but sublime lessons that will help us to solve the problems of our social life,   177 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:48,880 namely the defeat of selfishness, the intelligent awareness of the needs of others,   178 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,400 and the wider observance of the law of forgiveness,   179 00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:00,720 the law of forgiveness, the triumph of perfect brotherhood.   180 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,360 The saving story of Jesus has no end.   181 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:11,600 He is the true light, arrived to shine on everyone coming into the world.   182 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:21,240 This is what our Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore sings in The Poor Man's Wealth.   183 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:28,120 If the spirit is clear and the love sympathetic, compassionate and profound,   184 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:35,880 we can work in the world, keeping faith with that high vision which we call God,   185 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:45,520 who alone can satisfy all human hungers, but to you and me.   186 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:51,880 We are his chosen instruments and resource persons.   187 00:22:51,880 --> 00:23:00,880 He teaches us that truly saintly souls, be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect,   188 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:08,920 are sensitive to men's sufferings and feel life burden as their own,   189 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,720 and have compassion on the multitude.   190 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:22,520 We must use the supreme privilege of life in order that the creative energy of the universe   191 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:30,400 may come alive in us in Christ, may clothe itself in our flesh,   192 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:38,760 realize itself to our consciousness and conquer the environment.   193 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,560 How much to give?   194 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:50,960 Do good to a friend before you die and reach out and give to him as much as you can.   195 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:57,240 In other words, our generosity and sincerity in our Christian belief,   196 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:04,240 practice and faith in the loving providence of God is the measure.   197 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:15,240 The present situation cannot possibly exist in a world that takes and lives Christianity seriously.   198 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:22,920 With the amount of good and well-to-do Christian families spent during its regular annual holidays,   199 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:30,760 a poor Christian family in a poor country can live the whole year the human way.   200 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:39,240 The vast majority can never dream of a vacation or relaxation in their lives.   201 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:46,440 But more important than giving is the actual care that brings cure.   202 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:57,680 Appeals are made and responded to all over the world to eradicate hunger and disease caused by malnutrition.   203 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,120 People are mindful of others.   204 00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:09,360 The many campaigns in various countries, United States of America, Germany, England, Australia,   205 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:20,040 France, Switzerland, Spain and several others bear ample testimony to the deeming love of Christ in action.   206 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:33,160 Christians see the suffering Christ in the person of the poor and sincerely seek to relieve the misery of men.   207 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:40,160 Almost simultaneously, the merry killing goes on.   208 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,040 The situation, dear friends, is bound to remain bleak   209 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,040 till we begin to look at humanity the way Christ does,   210 00:25:50,040 --> 00:26:01,080 with an understanding of the rich variety of the people of God and their special manner of reflecting God's image.   211 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:12,040 This demands that we understand and appreciate the diversity of needs, problems, gifts and desires.   212 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:25,120 It requires that we love, encourage, forgive and edify each other by doing good to all and to the building up of the body of Christ.   213 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:36,000 It is a divine call to compassion, forgiveness, encouragement and support in a world in which we are not perfect.   214 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000 But the law of the Lord is perfect.   215 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,520 It revives the soul.   216 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,320 The rule of the Lord is to be trusted.   217 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,120 It gives wisdom to the simple.   218 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:55,480 Be you perfect as your heavenly, as your father in heaven is perfect.   219 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:06,120 This calls for much supernatural strength and grace as it often requires that we waive our rights and privileges.   220 00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:21,040 It requires that we expel our misunderstandings, which come more often from lack of communication than from deliberate wrongdoing.   221 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:32,280 In the divine Eucharist, Christ cares and gives himself wholly to us to be transformed into his own body and blood,   222 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:51,160 so that his own sacred blood may run in our veins and we become saviors, no matter to what social status or to what nation we may belong by virtue of our accidental birth.   223 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:56,760 It is no longer we who live, but Christ lives in us.   224 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:05,120 Thus, Christ destroys all social barriers, caste and class systems.   225 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:09,200 We hear of the crowds who flocked around Jesus.   226 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:18,600 They came because Jesus really cared about them and he had resources to meet their needs.   227 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:33,720 Recall his love in the touching story when he compassionately stretched out his healing hand to the man covered with leprosy, a much dreaded disease at the time.   228 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,520 When had anyone touched this man?   229 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:46,760 Jesus gave him the touch of brotherly friendship, which was the touch of healing too.   230 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:54,160 Jesus was able to go beyond caring to meeting the man's need.   231 00:28:54,160 --> 00:29:10,120 This is the gospel with the Pilgrim Church has been given to proclaim and live by with an assurance that she will work greater miracles and wonders.   232 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:23,240 This is why the needy and the non-Christian world look confidently to the Christian world for the caring and healing hand of fraternal friendship.   233 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:30,880 When we eat sugar, its sweetness is directly experienced.   234 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:43,560 The sweetness of living as meaningful members of the body of Christ is experienced in the same direct manner here.   235 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:51,800 That is why Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the Indian nation, once remarked,   236 00:29:51,800 --> 00:30:02,320 If you want to bring Christ to India and India to Christ, practice your religion without watering it down.   237 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:12,560 I like Christianity and I love Christ, but I do not like the Christian who are so un-Christlike.   238 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:21,800 Make love the basis of your Christianity because Christ wanted it to be so.   239 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:35,520 He had in mind a society based on love and human values and he called it by the name of Sarvadaya, the rise of all.   240 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,000 A society in which the good of all is achieved.   241 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,360 This involves the giving of those who have to those who have not.   242 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:56,200 It means, in other words, the sharing of the good things of the world among all men.   243 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:07,640 Our devoted and dedicated sisters, brothers, priests, and voluntary lay workers reach out to other people   244 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:14,400 with the healing touch of love and friendship in many hospitals, orphanages,   245 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:23,040 leprosy, educational institutions, asylums, and ashrams, etc.   246 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:29,760 Through them, the caring of Christ and his curing power is made known.   247 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:37,320 What is more, by their example of self-sacrifice, Christ lives in them   248 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:43,800 and others get introduced to him who has the resources to meet their needs.   249 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,640 But how small is their number among teeming millions.   250 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:59,520 More important than all the material resources, therefore, is the present day pressing need for millions of hands   251 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:07,280 to elevate hunger and to bring the healing touch into the lives of others.   252 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:15,760 Behind every misery and trial, we see the love of God uniting the hearts of men.   253 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:25,800 That same love will see us through fair weather and fall, the future ray of hope.   254 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,000 We are saved by hope, says Saint Paul.   255 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:42,480 Suffering and trials draw us nearer to the cross of Christ and bring us closer together to one Lord, one faith, one baptism.   256 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:51,560 What is important is to find a way for a united, concerted Christian action   257 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:59,040 to fight the demon of hunger and malnutrition by achieving without delay   258 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:05,600 that unity which Christ long and ardently prayed to his Father,   259 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:12,840 that they may all be one so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.   260 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:18,440 Divisions among us, beloved, generate suspicion.   261 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:28,240 We have had enough of beautiful speeches and slogans in our manifold conferences and endless seminars.   262 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:39,280 It is time to rediscover our path, to make words and facts agree in a spirit of sincerity.   263 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:50,600 It is a rule of life that sincere love and the accomplishment of every duty involve a sacrifice.   264 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:57,400 Christ brought salvation to the world by his supreme sacrifice on the cross,   265 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:05,880 the memorial of which he has left us in the sacrifice and sacrament of the divine Eucharist   266 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:13,280 to be commemorated and lived effectively unto the end of time.   267 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,800 He said, do this in commemoration of me.   268 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:27,720 He broke and gave his broken body so that we Christians, the privileged members of his body,   269 00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:36,280 may in turn break our bodies and our man-made structures and share with the broken members,   270 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:45,680 the hungry and the needy, to give strength to their weak and weary limbs and vitality for their spiritual needs.   271 00:34:45,720 --> 00:34:54,200 Greater love than this no man has that he lay down his life for his fellow men.   272 00:34:54,200 --> 00:35:04,400 When one can suffer and love, one can do almost anything, even things which in this world seem impossible.   273 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,320 Charles de Foucault.   274 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:14,800 Christ likened his kingdom on earth and in heaven to a banquet.   275 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:21,960 In this parable, we have clear signs of the shape of things to come.   276 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:29,440 He invites the leading and prosperous citizens, but when these spurn his invitation   277 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:36,400 and bring forward all sorts of excuses not to share, he invites the poor and feeble,   278 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:44,720 the blind, the lame and collects all and sundry to share and enjoy the good things provided.   279 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:53,280 There is greater unity among the poor, for one always informs the other where bread is to be found.   280 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:59,720 The parable shows clearly what is already taking place in some parts of the world   281 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:03,520 and echoes our Lord's word on the mount,   282 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,200 blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.   283 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:14,680 Where these poor are found, whether among the people of God or in any land,   284 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:25,640 they are welcome at the master's table, but the proud, self-sufficient and the selfish will be excluded.   285 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:31,800 Sheer materialism in whatever form degrades humanity.   286 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:40,200 Men are composed of matter and spirit, and the proper balance between the two must be maintained   287 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,400 if they are not to dehumanize themselves.   288 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:55,440 Men's material needs must be directed by those of the spirit, supernaturalized by the grace of God.   289 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:06,000 Man needs the spirit of God, the spirit of love and unity, to direct his energies in the right direction.   290 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:14,960 If he allows love of things to stifle the spirit, he is destroying his true humanity.   291 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,640 Our world needs saints, scientists and saviors.   292 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:27,400 It is indeed tragic that in a world where God is so bountiful,   293 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:33,640 in which he has provided so much for our legitimate enjoyment,   294 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:40,440 we for a transitory satisfaction of human greed, pride and passion,   295 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:47,160 let death and destruction go on relentlessly.   296 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,000 Sanctity teaches us true enjoyment.   297 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:58,680 It demonstrates how scientific advance is intended to help men on their way to God,   298 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:07,320 to the festive banquet predicted by Christ, the divine savior, over which God will preside forever.   299 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:13,720 I have earnestly desired to eat this fasso with you before I suffer,   300 00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:24,120 for I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.   301 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:31,480 With the lowly and gentle mastery of Christ, we confidently look to the future.   302 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:37,240 His faithful witnesses in the persons of noble souls and saviors,   303 00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:43,880 like Francis of Assisi, Francis Xavier, Robert de Nobili, Bessie,   304 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,440 for the constant livings of the Adivasis of Chotanakpo,   305 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:59,000 Father Damien of Molokai and others, have been down the centuries our hope for a finer and better world.   306 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,640 Our modern world is not lacking in such self-sacrificing persons.   307 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:14,600 For in our present day, we have in India Mother Teresa of Calcutta and the world's slums.   308 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:32,520 APPLAUSE   309 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:38,840 For Vinoba Bhave, who still drags his old and weary legs in Padyatra,   310 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:44,200 seeing the image of God-made man in the poor and suffering of this world,   311 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:49,800 who are still being scourged by man's inhumanity to man,   312 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:56,440 we should therefore march forward unitedly with courage and hope in Jesus Christ,   313 00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:04,600 the way, the truth and the life, the true light sent to shine on everyone coming into the world.   314 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:15,560 I should like to end my little talk on the prayer that we recite before noon today.   315 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:24,280 Father, creator of all that is good, you have called men to work in your world   316 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:31,080 and by their cooperation to better the condition of mankind.   317 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:37,880 Grant that we may always work together as children of your family   318 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:44,760 and love all men as our brethren to Christ our Lord. Amen.   319 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:54,200 APPLAUSE   320 00:40:54,200 --> 00:41:04,920 This is the end of side one. To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 We now go quickly to another part of the world.   2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,960 And it is my honor to present as the third and final speaker   3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,560 in this panel a voice from Africa, the Most Reverend James   4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,480 Sangu, the Bishop of Mbeya, Tanzania,   5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,680 who has spent all of his priestly life   6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000 in that East African country.   7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,960 Those of us who know Bishop Sangu   8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,680 know that he too has a message for us.   9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,280 I am pleased now to present Bishop Sangu.   10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:55,700 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write,   11 00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,040 I know your works.   12 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:05,040 Behold, I have opened before you a door which no one is able to shut.   13 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,720 I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied   14 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,680 my name.   15 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:21,400 Because you have kept my word in patient endurance, I will protect you in the hour of trial, which   16 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,000 is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.   17 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000 I am coming soon.   18 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,880 Hold fast what you have so that no one may steal your crown.   19 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,720 This is from the book of Revelation.   20 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,240 You reminisce the papal legate.   21 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,520 You reminisce Cardinal Crow, the angel of Philadelphia.   22 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:59,200 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the fact that the 41st International Eucharistic Congress   23 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:07,280 is celebrated in Philadelphia got me for a very special meaning when I was reading the   24 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,000 book of Revelations, which I just read to you.   25 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,160 It is as if Almighty God himself poses a challenge to the whole church gathered here in modern   26 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,160 Philadelphia to celebrate this Eucharistic Congress. The purpose of the   27 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,520 Eucharistic Congress is to gain a deeper understanding of the mystery of the   28 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:38,160 Eucharist for us Christians in the first place but also for our world of today.   29 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:46,880 God poses challenge when he says, I have opened a door, I have opened before you   30 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,480 a door which no one is able to shut. He challenges us here to go through this   31 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,880 door, to go out into the world, to implement in the world what we are   32 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:08,200 celebrating in the Eucharist. Let me try to explain this challenge. The Christian   33 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:15,440 community is a sacrament of Christ's active presence in the world. Jesus Christ   34 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,520 in the Eucharist just before he left our world, and because he left the world and would no   35 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:30,520 longer be visibly among us. During the Last Supper he said, still a little time I'll be   36 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:37,040 with you, but after that you will not see me anymore. But don't be afraid, although   37 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,680 I go, I will be with you until the end of the world. The Eucharist is the sacrament   38 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,320 of Christ's presence in our world.   39 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,380 Usually, this is understood that Christ is really   40 00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:54,920 present in a consecrated piece of bread.   41 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,680 But it has a much deeper meaning than this.   42 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,760 He instituted the Eucharist as a sacrament of communion   43 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,720 between him and us.   44 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,800 Through this sacrament, Christ and we are united, become one.   45 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,720 He is in us and we in him.   46 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,720 He becomes incarnated, as it were, in us.   47 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:27,000 He becomes visible again for people living nowadays in us, Christians.   48 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:35,080 This means that the Christian community represents Christ for the people with whom we live.   49 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,040 represent not in the sense that himself cannot be present   50 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,000 and therefore has sent us in his place to replace him.   51 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,640 Represent here means to make Christ present again   52 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,800 for the people living now.   53 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,960 This is a great mystery full of sense.   54 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960 You remember how Christ during the Last Supper   55 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,120 told his disciples,   56 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:07,080 I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.   57 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,160 In Christ, our invisible God has become visible.   58 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,040 In Christ, God himself came to live with us among us.   59 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,200 A little later, Christ added, in that day,   60 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,680 when you receive the Holy Spirit,   61 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,800 you will understand that I am in the Father,   62 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,440 and you in me, and I in you.   63 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,880 In other words, just as the Father is one with Christ, so are we, Christ's followers,   64 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,360 one with him.   65 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,260 You in me and I in you.   66 00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:50,440 As the Father lives, speaks, works in Christ, so Christ lives, speaks, works in us.   67 00:05:50,440 --> 00:06:01,360 During the Last Supper, Philip at a certain moment asked Christ, Lord, show us the Father.   68 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,360 Jesus has talked so much about the Father, and the disciples prayed to him,   69 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,040 show us the Father, that we may see him.   70 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,440 And Christ answered him, Philip, how long have I been with you?   71 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,040 Do not yet, you do not understand that who sees me sees the Father.   72 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,880 I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.   73 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:32,320 We celebrate the Eucharist as the sacrament of our union with Christ.   74 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:39,320 Should it not be true also that when people ask us, show us Christ, let him be here among   75 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:46,000 us, that we can answer, who has seen us has seen Christ.   76 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,920 He is in us and we are in him.   77 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,480 For the people living now, we are Christ.   78 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,240 We are not just Christians, we are Christ.   79 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,360 That is the meaning of these words.   80 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:10,460 The Christian community is the sacrament of Christ's real and active presence in the world.   81 00:07:10,460 --> 00:07:15,720 The mission of Christ is the mission of the church.   82 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,700 Jesus Christ became man, not just to be present among us.   83 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:23,960 He was sent on a mission by the Father.   84 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Throughout the Gospel, Christ shows very clearly this sense of mission, and his whole life   85 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,120 consists in fulfilling this mission which he had received from God.   86 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,640 He obeyed it even until death, and nobody could stop him.   87 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,800 During the first days of his public life, he entered the synagogue of his own town,   88 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:53,200 Nazareth, and read from the Bible, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.   89 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,200 He has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor.   90 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,380 He has sent me to proclaim the release to the captives and   91 00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:04,400 recovering of sight to the blind,   92 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,780 to set at liberty those who are oppressed,   93 00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:13,140 to proclaim that this is the year of the Lord.   94 00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:16,080 He knew that God has sent him to start the kingdom of God here   95 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:22,440 on earth, the kingdom of justice and peace and love.   96 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,280 And when he started to announce the good news that the kingdom of God is at hand, people   97 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:36,160 from all over Judea flocked to him, full of hope and expectation.   98 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:42,120 And when he saw that big crowd before him, he said to them, rejoice, you people of this   99 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,040 world, for the kingdom of God is yours.   100 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,640 Rejoice you who are hungry because your hunger will be stilled.   101 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,880 Rejoice you who are weeping because you will be comforted.   102 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,000 But woe to you who are rich because you have received your consolation.   103 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,680 Woe to you who have everything you want because you will be hungry.   104 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:17,320 to you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep."   105 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:23,680 And instantly, the order of people recognized him as their savior, their messiah, their   106 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,640 redeemer.   107 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:32,440 On every page of the gospel, we see how he cured the sick, fed the hungry, comforted   108 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,880 the afflicted.   109 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,680 And when John the Baptist, cast in prison, heard about him, he sent his messengers to   110 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:48,560 ask him, are you the one we have been waiting for, or shall we wait for another?   111 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:54,320 And Christ answered him, go and tell John what you have seen and heard.   112 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:01,560 The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are healed, the deaf hear, the dead   113 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:07,720 are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.   114 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:16,720 Now is it amazing that people who heard Christ and who saw his works went crazy for joy,   115 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:24,840 crying Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord?   116 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,840 What is the mission of the church today?   117 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:36,680 The good news which Christ came to announce to the world is as relevant now and is as   118 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:42,600 eagerly awaited now as it was 2,000 years ago.   119 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:48,560 And people all over the world are as full of hope and expectation as them, waiting for   120 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,920 their Savior and Redeemer.   121 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:59,820 And their Savior and Redeemer are we, the Christians, the Church of Christ.   122 00:10:59,820 --> 00:11:02,620 We are their Christ.   123 00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:09,380 And the Eucharist we are celebrating is a testimonial that we and Christ are one, that   124 00:11:09,380 --> 00:11:14,140 His mission is our mission.   125 00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:20,040 I fully well realize that I have selected in the Gospel one aspect of the salvation   126 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,500 which Christ came to bring to the world.   127 00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:27,220 But it is nevertheless a very real aspect.   128 00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:33,980 Through our theological reflections, we have become accustomed to spiritualize the gospel,   129 00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:39,020 and we have lost the understanding of its full human dimension.   130 00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:45,220 Christ came to serve a liberate man, not just his soul.   131 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:51,620 When poor people over the world read the gospel, they are grieved by the same feverish expectation   132 00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:56,380 as those who heard Christ for the first time.   133 00:11:56,380 --> 00:12:05,620 But at the same time, they are often bitterly disappointed in us, his followers, his church.   134 00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:11,740 They expect to see in us Christ, their Savior, their Redeemer.   135 00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:14,500 And what do they see all too often?   136 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:22,300 The Pharisees and Sadducees who crucified our Lord.   137 00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,860 What is the situation of the world today?   138 00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:32,140 When we look at the world today, we see that the great problem of the world is the enormous   139 00:12:32,140 --> 00:12:36,780 difference in living standard in the third world and the rich industrialized countries   140 00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:39,740 of the West.   141 00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:43,620 This situation is well known and documented.   142 00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,540 It contains a double injustice.   143 00:12:46,540 --> 00:12:53,860 First of all, the fact that some nations are extremely poor and others excessively rich   144 00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:57,220 is not right, is not just.   145 00:12:57,220 --> 00:12:59,920 It should not be like this.   146 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:04,940 Secondly, and what is worse, many of the poor countries   147 00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:10,220 are and remain poor because they are exploited and abused   148 00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:14,580 by the rich industrialized nations.   149 00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:19,720 These enrich themselves at the cost of the poor countries.   150 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,460 It has been a rather recent development   151 00:13:22,460 --> 00:13:26,180 that our world has become very small.   152 00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:30,700 Formerly, Europe was considered the world.   153 00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:32,500 In America, the new world.   154 00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:38,380 They had hardly an idea that there   155 00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:41,540 were other people living in other parts of the world   156 00:13:41,540 --> 00:13:44,780 until they discovered them.   157 00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:48,220 These people existed already for ages.   158 00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:50,740 But for Europeans and Americans, they   159 00:13:50,740 --> 00:13:55,040 did not exist until they discovered them.   160 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,380 And to discover them meant to take possession of them,   161 00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:05,460 as you do with the property which you find along the road.   162 00:14:05,460 --> 00:14:08,180 Since then, things have changed tremendously,   163 00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:12,260 especially since explorations were shifted from foreign   164 00:14:12,260 --> 00:14:14,540 countries to outer space.   165 00:14:14,540 --> 00:14:18,300 Our world has become very small.   166 00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:22,140 It is now as if we are now living in the same house,   167 00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:25,180 one human family living in the same room.   168 00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:34,020 If in one and the same family, one child grows fat on all the   169 00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:38,360 food it wants, consuming more than it needs,   170 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,500 wasting precious food, or rather another child in the same   171 00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:49,500 family is starving, is sick, without medical care, does not get a chance to improve its   172 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:57,100 lot, everybody would cry out that this is not just, that this is a criminal. But this   173 00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:05,100 is the situation in the world today. Historical explanations of how this unjust situation   174 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:10,100 unjust situation that came about does not justify it.   175 00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,180 Looking at it from a human point of view,   176 00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:15,620 it comes down to this.   177 00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:18,980 The lot which awaits you in this world   178 00:15:18,980 --> 00:15:23,580 depends on the spot where you happen to be born.   179 00:15:23,580 --> 00:15:27,540 If any of you are millionaires, had been born somewhere   180 00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:33,620 in African bush, you would now have well walked in rags   181 00:15:33,620 --> 00:15:35,980 behind a few red cows.   182 00:15:35,980 --> 00:15:40,620 It just depends where you happen to be born.   183 00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:44,300 Whatever the historical circumstances and cause of the   184 00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,940 utter inequality in living conditions between the two   185 00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:52,860 various nations of the world, this situation is not just, and   186 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:56,020 it has to be rectified.   187 00:15:56,020 --> 00:16:00,940 And it has to be rectified by those who are able to do so,   188 00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:06,260 that is, the rich industrialized countries.   189 00:16:06,260 --> 00:16:08,260 In international affairs   190 00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:10,140 and international trade,   191 00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:12,500 the developing countries   192 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:14,680 are still almost completely   193 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,580 at the mercy of the developed countries.   194 00:16:18,580 --> 00:16:21,100 This dictates the world market.   195 00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,660 They fix tariffs and quotas.   196 00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:26,580 They determine the prices of raw materials   197 00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:28,480 and primary products.   198 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,880 They establish the prices of the processed products.   199 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,960 They determine the monetary system and control of the circulation of money   200 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,440 through the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.   201 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,200 The present economic world order is geared   202 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,560 not towards justice for all,   203 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,940 but towards economic growth of the industrialized world.   204 00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:57,060 And one of the basic principles of this world order is   205 00:16:57,060 --> 00:17:00,860 that as long as you make profit for your own purse,   206 00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:05,580 it does not matter that you plunder others.   207 00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:07,540 In international trade,   208 00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:11,920 the developed countries determine the rules of the game.   209 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,880 And the rules are such   210 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,640 that they serve the interests   211 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,340 of the industrialized countries.   212 00:17:18,340 --> 00:17:21,500 These are bound to win.   213 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:23,360 The people of the third world   214 00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:25,560 realize more and more now   215 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,760 that the only means to save them from perennial poverty and hunger   216 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,280 is the creation of a new international economic order   217 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,700 based on mutual agreement between all nations   218 00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,760 aimed at equal justice for all   219 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,000 through equitable distribution of the world's riches and resources   220 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000 to replace the old economic order   221 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,840 which is unilaterally imposed by the industrialized countries,   222 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,240 aimed at their own economic progress.   223 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,640 But it became clear again   224 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,920 during the last UNCTAD   225 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,360 conference held in Nairobi this year   226 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,360 that the industrialized countries   227 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,720 did not want to hear about this again.   228 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,160 The result is that the poor remain poor,   229 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,800 that the hungry remain hungry, that the sick remain sick,   230 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,880 that the gap between the living standard of the people in the Third World   231 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:36,680 and of the industrialized countries continues to widen instead of diminishing.   232 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:43,040 As long as the industrialized countries do not agree to a new international economic order,   233 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:48,080 to eradicate the causes of poverty and to establish justice,   234 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,840 No amount of aid will be able to eliminate hunger from the world.   235 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,520 A poor man is not helped much by a piece of bread,   236 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:05,520 but only by giving him the chance and opportunity to make his own living.   237 00:19:06,260 --> 00:19:09,220 The Eucharist and the hunger for bread.   238 00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:11,760 Dear brothers and sisters of Christ,   239 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,680 the Spirit of the Lord is upon us.   240 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,920 He has anointed us to preach the good news to the poor,   241 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,760 to set at liberty those who are oppressed.   242 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,600 In the Eucharist, we celebrate our union with Christ.   243 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,200 He is in us, and we in Him.   244 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,920 We are Christ for the people living nowadays.   245 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,320 The people in the third world look at us, hear about us.   246 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,400 And our son John sent his messengers to Christ   247 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,040 to ask him, are you the one we have been waiting for,   248 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,960 or must we wait for another?   249 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,960 So they ask us, are you our Messiah, our Savior,   250 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,480 our Redeemer?   251 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,560 With the church, Sacrament of Christ's active presence   252 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,160 in the world, what do we answer?   253 00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:09,700 Can we also answer as Christ did, go and tell John   254 00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:11,700 what you have seen and heard?   255 00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:17,700 What do the people of the Third World see when they look at us?   256 00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,700 They see us as part of the Western world.   257 00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:29,700 They see us comfortably installed in the industrialized nations which continue to exploit them.   258 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:32,700 If we really understood the Eucharist,   259 00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:37,700 if we really understood our mission in the world today,   260 00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:44,700 all of us who dress in protest against the powerful rulers and governments of this world   261 00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:52,700 in defense of the poor. I appreciate it very much as a token of our goodwill that this   262 00:20:53,620 --> 00:21:00,620 evening a mass will be celebrated as the poor man's supper. I appreciate the generosity   263 00:21:00,620 --> 00:21:07,460 the generosity of many Christians here in the United States who have decided to fast   264 00:21:07,460 --> 00:21:11,220 and to give their savings to the poor.   265 00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:18,700 But if we really wish to be the saviour of the poor and the hungry, the whole church   266 00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:26,320 should start a campaign to pressure our governments to change their policy.   267 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:33,320 If we are really possessed of love for the poor and oppressed as Christ was, if we really   268 00:21:33,420 --> 00:21:40,420 are on the side of the weak and exploited, we would start a movement in this world, in   269 00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:47,420 our countries, to change the national egotism and greed for wealth. We can change the world.   270 00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:54,420 change the world. Maybe the powerful and wealthy will abuse us. They may crucify us for our   271 00:21:56,060 --> 00:22:03,060 zeal, but then we are in good company. That is what they did to Christ.   272 00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:11,180 To the angel of the Church of Philadelphia, write, I know your works. Behold, I have opened   273 00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:16,180 I have opened before you a door which no one is able to shut.   274 00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:20,180 Through this Eucharistic Congress here in Philadelphia,   275 00:22:20,180 --> 00:22:23,180 God has opened a door before us,   276 00:22:23,180 --> 00:22:28,180 the door which leads to the poor and hungry of this world.   277 00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:32,180 Dear brothers and sisters, let us not shut this door.   278 00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:34,180 Thank you.</div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

present to you our first speaker in the program, The   2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:19,360 People of God and the Mystery of Christ Hungering in the World, the very Reverend Pedro Arrupe,   3 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:26,520 President of the Conference of Major Superiors of Religious and also the 28th Superior General   4 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:33,520 of the Society of Jesus, Father Arrupe.   5 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,560 Your Eminence,   6 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,560 the Papal Legate, Your Eminence Cardinal Kroll,   7 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Eminences, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen.   8 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,560 Lord, it is good for us to be here.   9 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,760 It is good to be with you and share with you   10 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,120 this wonderful celebration.   11 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:31,560 But let us think first on the great absentees   12 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:38,720 of this Congress, the people starving to death.   13 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,640 Suppose the hungry of the world were also here with us   14 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,760 this morning.   15 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,320 Let us think only of those who are going to die of starvation   16 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,560 today, the day of our symposium of hunger.   17 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,000 There will be thousands of them, probably more than all of us   18 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,960 who are gathered in this hall.   19 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:16,080 Let us try to see them, their bodies weak and emaciated,   20 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,340 their intense looks.   21 00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:28,080 Let us try to hear them begging with their outstretched hands,   22 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:36,400 their weak and fainting voices, their terrible silence.   23 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,600 Give us bread.   24 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:45,080 Give us bread, for we are dying of hunger.   25 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:56,680 And if at the end of our discussions of the Eucharist and hunger for bread,   26 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:05,880 as we left the hall, we had to pick out our way through this mass of dying bodies,   27 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:13,980 how could we claim that our Eucharist is the bread of life?   28 00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:22,980 How could we pretend to be announcing and sharing with others the same Lord who said,   29 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:30,980 I come that they may have life and have it more abundantly?   30 00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:39,980 It matters little if these starving people are physically now here before our eyes   31 00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:43,140 or are scattered throughout the world.   32 00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:47,820 The tragedy and injustice of their death   33 00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:51,300 are the same wherever it takes place.   34 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,760 And wherever it does take place,   35 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,500 we who are here this morning   36 00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:59,240 have our share of responsibility.   37 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,780 For in the Eucharist, we receive Jesus Christ,   38 00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:07,040 who will one day say as us,   39 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,280 As I was hungry, did you give me to eat?   40 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,320 I was thirsty, did you give me to drink?   41 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,880 I tell you solemnly, insofar as you neglected to do this   42 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,240 to one of this list of these my brothers,   43 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,720 you neglected to do it to me.   44 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,960 Yes, we are all responsible, all involved   45 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,960 In the Eucharist, Jesus becomes the voice of those who are no voice, the voiceless.   46 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,760 He speaks for the powerless, the oppressed, the poor, the hungry.   47 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,680 In fact, he takes their place.   48 00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:01,440 And if we close our ears to their cries, we are shutting out his voice too.   49 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,600 If we refuse to help them, then our faith is indeed dead,   50 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640 as St. James tells us so clearly.   51 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,140 If one of these brothers or one of these sisters   52 00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:17,320 is in need of clothes and has not enough food to live on,   53 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,000 and one of you says to them,   54 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,960 I wish you well, keep yourself warm and eat plenty,   55 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,400 without giving them these bare necessities of life,   56 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,920 And what good is that?   57 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,120 Fate is like that.   58 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,400 If good works do not go with it, it is quite dead.   59 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,080 It is over 10 years since the Second Vatican Council made   60 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,160 the following fateful comment on our modern world.   61 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,680 As it works, never has the human race   62 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,440 enjoy such an abundance of wealth, resources,   63 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960 and economic power.   64 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,800 Yet a huge proportion of the world's citizens   65 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,280 is still tormented by hunger and poverty.   66 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:20,200 Two years ago, the United Nations World Food Conference   67 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:27,280 explained more precisely what a huge proportion consists in.   68 00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:31,480 I quote, on the most conservative estimate,   69 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,920 there are well over 460 million of such people in the world   70 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,920 today, and their number is increasing.   71 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,880 At least 40% of them are children.   72 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,840 And what is meant by such people?   73 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,160 The same United Nations document goes on   74 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,160 to describe them as people who are permanently hungry   75 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,240 and whose capacity for living a normal life   76 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,960 cannot be realized.   77 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,080 I am sure there is not a single person here this morning   78 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,720 who doesn't know this and many other facts   79 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,240 about world hunger as well as or better than I.   80 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,880 We have been bombarded, perhaps to saturation point,   81 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,880 with tapes, slides, film strips, charts, books, speeches and resolutions of hunger.   82 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,880 In the United States alone, there are hundreds of organizations, groups and agencies   83 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,880 directly or indirectly trying to eliminate it.   84 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,880 In Rome, where I live,   85 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,880 the United Nations employs over 3,000 people   86 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,440 engaged full time in studying and trying to fight hunger   87 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,040 throughout the world.   88 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Yet, the situation seems to be getting worse as the world   89 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,800 grows richer and richer.   90 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,520 At the beginning of his presidency,   91 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,280 John Fitzgerald Kennedy set two goals   92 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960 before the American people.   93 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,440 The first was to get a man to the moon   94 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,080 before the end of the decade.   95 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:28,040 The other was to help eliminate hunger within our lifetime.   96 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,040 It is sad, comment on the values of our civilization,   97 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,000 that the first technical and scientific goal was   98 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,480 magnificently achieved, whereas the second, more humanitarian   99 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:49,560 and social one has reached ever farther from our grasp.   100 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,600 What is the reason?   101 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,760 It is that the problem is too big for us.   102 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,760 There is no doubt that hunger and malnutrition are widespread   103 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,080 and caused by a whole series of factors ranging   104 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,120 from unpredictable weather to rapidly increasing populations.   105 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:20,120 But, on the other hand, the experts tell us that full resources could in fact be made available to feed ever greater numbers of people.   106 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:26,520 It is that we don't know how to set about a solution, where to start.   107 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:33,520 Here again, there are many complex socio-economic, political and even cultural factors   108 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:41,520 that have to be taken into account if a lasting solution is to be found to the problem of world hunger.   109 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:50,520 However, to get a man on the moon, to arm and defend ourselves and our allies,   110 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:58,520 we have made such a dazzling display of resources, of technology, of human ingenuity, and of social engineering,   111 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,520 that we cannot say with a clear conscience,   112 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:09,520 people are hungry simply because we don't know how to do,   113 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,520 what to do and how to do it.   114 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:18,520 What is basically lacking are not resources,   115 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,520 technology or knowledge.   116 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,520 What is then?   117 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:32,520 It can only be our will to do something, our determination to marshal the resources, technology   118 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:41,640 and knowledge we have to satisfy not only what we consider to be our own needs and interests,   119 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,760 but also what in fact are the most basic needs of others.   120 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,480 Wherever we come from, rich or poor countries, we don't seem to have sufficient motivation   121 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,080 to turn us towards the needs of those most in want,   122 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,560 and to translate our concern, often sincere,   123 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:04,760 but bad and ineffectual, into concrete deeds.   124 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,640 The problem of world hunger is not primary and economic,   125 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,360 a social, or even a political one.   126 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:21,560 It is basically a moral, a spiritual problem.   127 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:33,480 The world hunger for food will only be satisfied when man learns to live not simply for himself,   128 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,480 but for others as Christ did.   129 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:49,480 The world hunger for food will only be satisfied when man learns to hunger for God,   130 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,480 for his love and especially for his justice.   131 00:11:57,740 --> 00:12:02,180 This truth was clearly understood by early Christians.   132 00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:07,180 The act of the apostles tell us that they went as a body   133 00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:11,540 to the temple every day and met in their houses   134 00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:13,140 for the breaking of bread.   135 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,340 And the passage goes on at once to say,   136 00:12:17,340 --> 00:12:23,340 They shared their food gladly and generously.   137 00:12:23,340 --> 00:12:36,340 They sold their goods and possessions and shared out the proceeds among themselves according to what each needed.   138 00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:40,340 The message is clear and simple.   139 00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:50,340 The direct consequence of, as well as the condition for, their praying together and sharing the bread of the Lord together in the Eucharist   140 00:12:50,340 --> 00:12:59,340 was to share what they had in common so that no one was in one.   141 00:12:59,340 --> 00:13:08,340 The same message is forcefully expressed by St. John in one word, koinonia.   142 00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:17,900 It can be translated as communion or fellowship, but use the same word to describe three different   143 00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:20,100 levels of fellowship.   144 00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:25,660 First, our fellowship with the Father, with God.   145 00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:30,660 Secondly, our fellowship with Christ through the Eucharist.   146 00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:39,660 Thirdly, our fellowship with each other that leads us to share what we have with others.   147 00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:43,660 To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,960 The important point is that these three fellowships are all expressed by the same word koinonia   2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,880 are really only one.   3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:24,260 They are different aspects of the same communion or sharing with and cannot be separate from   4 00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:25,260 each other.   5 00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:34,060 Thus, we cannot have fellowship with God unless we have fellowship with each other.   6 00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:41,500 And the Eucharist is the visible bond which both signifies this fellowship and helps to   7 00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,940 bring it about.   8 00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:52,540 It effectively recalls and proclaims our communion with God and with our fellow man.   9 00:00:52,540 --> 00:01:01,380 This rediscovery of what might be called the social dimension of the Eucharist is of tremendous   10 00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:04,580 significance today.   11 00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:12,780 We once again see Holy Communion as the sacrament of our brotherhood and unity.   12 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:18,820 We share in a meal together, eating the same bread for the same table.   13 00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:27,340 In St. Paul tells us clearly the fact that there is only one love means that though there   14 00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:38,700 are many of us, we form a single body because we all have a share in this one love.   15 00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:44,740 In the Eucharist, in other words, we receive not only Christ, the head of the body, but   16 00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:46,900 his members as well.   17 00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:53,900 This fact has immediate practical consequences and St. Paul, once again, reminds us,   18 00:01:53,900 --> 00:02:01,900 St. Paul, God has arranged the body so that each part may be equally concerned for all the others.   19 00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:09,900 If one part is hurt, all parts are hurt with it.   20 00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:16,900 Wherever there is suffering in the body, wherever members of it are in want or oppressed,   21 00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:24,900 we, because we have received the same body and are part of it, must be directly involved.   22 00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:29,900 We cannot opt out or to say to a brother,   23 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:36,900 I do not need you. I will not help you.   24 00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:47,900 And our concern must, by its very nature, be worldwide.   25 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:55,900 Just as the body we share belongs to all peoples and knows no barriers of race, wealth, class or culture,   26 00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,620 of culture, so our commitment to its members   27 00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:02,300 must be equally universal.   28 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,300 The table of the Lord, which we sit around,   29 00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:10,060 is today the table of the world.   30 00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:14,020 Our neighbor is now not only the man   31 00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:21,460 set upon by the thieves whom we pass on the roadside,   32 00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:27,180 but also the scores of men, women, and children   33 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:32,740 who pass across our television screens with swollen bellies   34 00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:37,900 and sunken eyes and bodies racked by diseases or torture.   35 00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:41,180 These are our brothers and sisters,   36 00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:46,660 and we are bound to them by the Eucharist.   37 00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:49,960 What should we do?   38 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,520 You, again, will know better than I   39 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440 that there are many things we can do,   40 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,040 many degrees of commitment and involvement.   41 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,840 But let something concrete come out from the Congress,   42 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,300 from this Congress as a whole,   43 00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:07,480 something that can be acted on at once   44 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,680 by ordinary people in universal love and solidarity   45 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,280 with Christ's suffering hunger in the world today,   46 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,280 something that will be a pledge of our effective will   47 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,360 to satisfy that hunger.   48 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:34,360 Some years ago, the Eucharist fast from midnight, which as my older listeners will remember,   49 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:42,360 used to be a condition for receiving Holy Communion, was abolished. In 1966,   50 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Looking at the whole question of fasting, Pope Paul XVI declared that fasting abstinence   51 00:04:52,520 --> 00:05:00,820 should be both a witness to asceticism and a means for helping the poor.   52 00:05:00,820 --> 00:05:09,080 What I wish to propose is the reintroduction of a voluntary basis of a different type of   53 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:18,920 Eucharistic fast, not now so much for ascetical reasons, but as a token of our commitment   54 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:28,960 to world justice and a concrete expression of our solidarity with the hungry and oppressed.   55 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,760 In preparation for this Eucharistic Congress, many families have taken part in the Operation   56 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:43,280 rice bowl, fasting one day or one meal per week and donating the money saved to provide   57 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:50,160 food for the hungry or the means with which to produce it.   58 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,800 Similar practices have been adopted in other countries and by members of other religions.   59 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:04,120 ourselves have been invited to make today a day of fast and concern for the   60 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:11,760 world's starvation and to share tonight in a poor man's supper. I propose that   61 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:20,600 henceforth some practice such as this becomes an integral part of our reception   62 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:28,600 of the Eucharist, so that whenever we share the bread of life around the table of the Lord,   63 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:38,440 we will also share the bread for life with the hungry of the world. In this challenge,   64 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:45,400 we are taken up merely by Roman Catholics, and in the United States alone, and if the amount   65 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:53,600 save only average out at $1 per person per week,   66 00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:00,680 this would reach the huge sum, over $2.5 billion a year.   67 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,760 This figure is more than twice the amount   68 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,120 the new International Fund for Agricultural Development   69 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:15,800 created as a top priority at the 1974 World Food Conference   70 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,320 has been able to rise so far.   71 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,280 Of course, the problem of world hunger   72 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,400 cannot be solved by money.   73 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,400 It's a problem alone.   74 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680 It would be harmful and irresponsible   75 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,760 to oversimplify a problem which, as we have already seen,   76 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,960 is complex and difficult. The value of what I am proposing   77 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,440 is not so much in the money that could thus be saved and made   78 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,240 available for the world's poor, but rather   79 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,400 in the concrete example that this would offer of our love   80 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,640 and solidarity and our willingness   81 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,200 to make the necessary sacrifices to satisfy   82 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,840 the hunger of the world.   83 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,360 I wish to make this appeal for a concrete expression   84 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320 of our effective solidarity and willingness   85 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,040 to help out not just Catholics or Americans,   86 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,880 but to all men of goodwill throughout the world.   87 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,640 For though motivation may differ,   88 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,240 world hunger is a problem that concern   89 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,560 not only Catholics and Christians,   90 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,400 not only those who believe in God,   91 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,880 by the believers in the value of human love and solidarity.   92 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Such a concrete example of true solidarity   93 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,520 cutting across religions and races and nations   94 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400 could inspire and render more effective   95 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,000 other international efforts and also lead us   96 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,160 to other and more deep commitments.   97 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,960 If this appeal is taken up and acted upon,   98 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,320 then the ambition to eliminate hunger within our lifetime   99 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,880 need not to be such a distant dream after all.   100 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:12,360 Everywhere we look, we are confronted   101 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,100 by what the synod of bishops describe   102 00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:19,340 as a network of domination, oppression, and abuse   103 00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:22,520 with stifled freedom and which keep   104 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,740 the greater part of humanity from sharing   105 00:09:25,740 --> 00:09:31,260 in the building up and enjoyment of a more just and fraternal   106 00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:33,140 world.   107 00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:39,100 Yet we have an answer which gives us hope and joy.   108 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:43,380 It is the Eucharist, the symbol of Christ's love for men.   109 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:47,140 The task of this Congress is to share that love   110 00:09:47,140 --> 00:09:50,260 and translate into effective action.   111 00:09:50,260 --> 00:09:55,860 without some action, such as that I have proposed,   112 00:09:55,860 --> 00:10:01,900 will our Eucharist Congress have any real message   113 00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:09,340 for the world, a message that is which modern men will listen   114 00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:14,660 to and believe in, without some tangible evidence   115 00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:17,100 of our concern for others?   116 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,860 what witness can we give?   117 00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:25,340 And this great country, which has hosted our Congress   118 00:10:25,340 --> 00:10:30,060 and is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its independence,   119 00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:33,940 has its courage, determination, the generosity   120 00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:38,620 to give to the world the lead it is looking for.   121 00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:46,340 There was a time when the new land of America   122 00:10:46,340 --> 00:10:50,840 was able to say to other countries across the sea,   123 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:57,000 give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning   124 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,200 to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.   125 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,800 Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tossed to me.   126 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,480 I leave my land besides the golden door.   127 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Today, the majority of the world's tired, poor, homeless, or hungry may never set eyes   128 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:30,680 on the Statues of Liberty, but they need and have a right to what it stands for, a right   129 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:36,320 to freedom, to justice, to it.   130 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:43,840 They need and have a right to just general international policies which call for enlightened   131 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,240 leadership by these and other wealthy countries.   132 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,280 They need and have a right to a new international order   133 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040 of things.   134 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,160 And if it's called for sacrifice on our part,   135 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,560 will we hold back if it's not this precisely   136 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,760 what fasting means?   137 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,640 This is what the full celebration of the Eucharist   138 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,760 means in the world today.   139 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,040 Let us not forget that it is only when in faith and love   140 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,760 we give away the little that we have,   141 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,760 a few loaves of fishes, that God blesses our poor efforts   142 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,400 and his omnipotence multiplies them   143 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,520 to meet the hunger of the world.   144 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,520 Let us not forget that it was only after the widow   145 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,840 had given Hediah some food, even from the little   146 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:46,680 possessed that God came to her rescue. And Elia was a complete stranger to her   147 00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:54,840 from another country and worshipping a different God.

God's saving plan, we are told, does not merely call to his loving 27 00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:39,420 embrace isolated individuals without any mutual bonds to each other. Rather, it 28 00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:43,180 it envisions a community of people 29 00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:46,940 and a community of people in action. 30 00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:50,860 God makes them into a single people, 31 00:02:50,860 --> 00:02:55,660 quote, a people which acknowledges him in truth 32 00:02:55,660 --> 00:02:59,660 and serves him in holiness. 33 00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:01,660 But for what purpose? 34 00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:03,460 To what end? 35 00:03:03,460 --> 00:03:09,220 Surely not merely for God's gratification. 36 00:03:09,220 --> 00:03:12,800 Those who call themselves believers, we are told, 37 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,160 are a messianic people who share with Christ 38 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,780 the threefold function of witness, 39 00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:24,740 communal life, and worship. 40 00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:28,140 But is the messianic experience for their own exclusive 41 00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:31,820 self-serving purpose? 42 00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:34,740 The people of God, while it does not actually 43 00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:41,660 include every person on earth, and may more often than not 44 00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:46,260 appear to be small in number, is intended precisely 45 00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:50,860 for the salvation of the whole human race. 46 00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:57,220 The purpose, then, for the people of God is for others. 47 00:03:57,220 --> 00:04:01,900 They are to go into human history, to light the world, 48 00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,500 and to be the salt of the earth. 49 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,020 By the conduct of their affairs, they 50 00:04:08,020 --> 00:04:12,700 are to be the sign of the unity God prescribes, 51 00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,980 a harbinger of the universal peace, which 52 00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:19,300 is his ultimate plan. 53 00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:22,260 No single person within the people of God, 54 00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:27,540 nor any self-lauding sector, may assume a self-righteousness 55 00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:29,540 about his role. 56 00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:33,260 For indeed, the Council Fathers remind us, 57 00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:38,100 the whole of humankind belongs to the people of God 58 00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:44,260 and is related to it in a variety of ways. 59 00:04:44,260 --> 00:04:47,180 A further characteristic of the people of God 60 00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:51,700 is that while it transcends all limits of time and culture, 61 00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:55,940 race and nationality, it is destined to, quote, 62 00:04:55,940 --> 00:04:59,300 enter into the history of mankind 63 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:04,220 with all of its inconsistencies, its contradictions, 64 00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:06,540 and its conflicts. 65 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:09,500 It is precisely at this point that the second 66 00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:12,220 of the profound mysteries of our deliberations 67 00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:18,620 confronts us, the hungering Christ in the world. 68 00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:21,060 The Gospels are candid in their account 69 00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:25,020 of a number of incidents of the apostles' disbelief. 70 00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:29,060 Peter, soaking wet and half drowned after his vain attempt 71 00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:31,620 to walk across the lake. 72 00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:34,860 The Zebedee brothers rebuffed after their secret request 73 00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:39,500 for preferential seating with Jesus in the kingdom. 74 00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:41,900 But perhaps no episode in the gospel 75 00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:44,940 suggests the severity of the dilemma experienced 76 00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:48,780 by his closest followers than the account 77 00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:54,300 by Matthew of Jesus' description of the last judgment. 78 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:59,020 They did not understand that Jesus was truly present 79 00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:01,820 in every suffering person. 80 00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:05,980 That is, he was alive, albeit barely so, 81 00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:09,420 in the hungering, in the thirst-ridden victims 82 00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:13,980 of humanity's inhumanity. 83 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:20,780 The gospel writer asks, when did we see you suffering? 84 00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:23,220 But perhaps the most startling point 85 00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:26,140 was the revelation that even those who did not know him 86 00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:29,860 in the person of the victim, but who ministered to him simply 87 00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:34,660 because the victim was in need, they too 88 00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:37,340 were related in an extraordinary way 89 00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:41,980 to the people of God, the Good Samaritan. 90 00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:45,140 They were placed at God's right hand, 91 00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:48,420 the place reserved from the beginning of time 92 00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:50,260 for his chosen ones. 93 00:06:50,260 --> 00:07:02,580 We may well ask today, do we believe? Do we acknowledge him in truth and serve him in holiness? 94 00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:11,700 The evidence is enormous, even perhaps as Bishop de Sousa has suggested, we are stunned by its 95 00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:19,420 enormity. The presence of the Christ hungering in the world is characterized by two grim realities, 96 00:07:19,420 --> 00:07:26,820 starvation, and malnutrition. Experts differ about the exact number of those 97 00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:32,060 in this plight. For example, estimates about the number of deaths resulting 98 00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:38,840 from recent famines range between 1 million and tens of millions. But to 99 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:46,220 expect accuracy in such tabulations is to fail to understand the reality, the 100 00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:54,100 harsh reality. In the destitute conditions of regions in Africa and Asia, keeping statistics 101 00:07:54,100 --> 00:08:02,500 of the dying is a luxury starving people can hardly afford. Malnutrition has practically 102 00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:08,820 become institutionalized in some regions of the world. For hundreds of millions of people, 103 00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:14,980 severe dietary deficiency is a permanent way of life. Its consequences can be seen in the 104 00:08:14,980 --> 00:08:19,020 the toll it takes in the life expectancy among adults 105 00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:22,540 and the mortality rate among infants. 106 00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:25,620 In more than 40 nations, life expectancy 107 00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:30,820 is about 25 years less than it is in the United States. 108 00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:34,420 Infant death rates are more than twice as great in half 109 00:08:34,420 --> 00:08:37,300 of the nations of this world. 110 00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:40,820 About one out of every four persons in the third world 111 00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:46,180 suffers from insufficient protein energy supply. 112 00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:48,980 The pervasive and awesome presence 113 00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:51,540 of the hungering Christ in the world 114 00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:56,380 proposes a challenge for us, the people of God. 115 00:08:56,380 --> 00:09:00,940 This is especially so for we who are the people of God 116 00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,380 in these United States. 117 00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:07,500 The issues of food production and global hunger 118 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:11,700 have severe moral implications for each of us, 119 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,780 since we are, in fact, the largest food 120 00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:18,820 exporters in the world. 121 00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:20,940 Several conditions for Americans are 122 00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:23,940 suggested by the moral dilemma. 123 00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:29,020 The first is our bountiful inheritance. 124 00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:31,860 When the United States made its agricultural breakthrough 125 00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:34,900 during the last century, it is important to note 126 00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:38,220 the presence of a number of factors. 127 00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:40,660 The United States took possession forcibly 128 00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:42,940 of virtually unlimited land. 129 00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:48,420 Some of it was the most fertile acreage in all the world. 130 00:09:48,420 --> 00:09:52,820 One expert noted recently that if a square mile of Iowa 131 00:09:52,820 --> 00:09:55,900 farmland was transported to almost any spot 132 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,460 in the third world, the people there 133 00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:01,740 would be so astounded at the quality of the soil 134 00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:04,220 that they would make pilgrimages to it 135 00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:07,240 as if to a shrine. 136 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,080 The midsection of the North American continent 137 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920 is blessed with abundant water. 138 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,220 One fifth of the world's freshwater supply 139 00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:20,220 is in the great lakes of our country alone. 140 00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:23,980 Additional favorable factors include a long growing season 141 00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:27,220 for crops, access to European capital 142 00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:30,940 during our development stage, and millions of immigrants 143 00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:34,260 trained at the expense of their European homelands, 144 00:10:34,260 --> 00:10:37,580 who put their talents and their skills to use 145 00:10:37,580 --> 00:10:40,540 in this their adopted country. 146 00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:43,980 It is little wonder that in one of America's most popular 147 00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:47,740 national folk hymns, we find the line, 148 00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:53,500 above the fruited plain, America, America, 149 00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:58,540 God shed his grace on thee. 150 00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:02,640 The second is our use of the land. 151 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,180 Over the last quarter of a century, 152 00:11:05,180 --> 00:11:06,980 the United States shipped millions 153 00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:12,160 of tons of agricultural exports to third world countries. 154 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,800 During that period, as much as 25% of food exports 155 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,040 were provided by the United States government 156 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,020 on concessional terms or as straight grants, 157 00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:26,500 with the remainder handled through commercial sales 158 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:28,740 to world markets. 159 00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:32,020 It was also during this period that the United States 160 00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:35,740 maintained grain reserves for world emergencies 161 00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:39,420 in excess of three months' supply. 162 00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:42,600 In more recent years, however, the grain supply 163 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,020 has dwindled to about a month, and the United States 164 00:11:46,020 --> 00:11:51,420 has become the world's largest commercial grain merchant. 165 00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:54,340 A fundamental conflict presently exists 166 00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:58,400 between the right to food for persons in need 167 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,040 and the right to sell by agricultural merchants. 168 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,100 United States food policy today clearly 169 00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:10,340 gives a higher priority to the latter right. 170 00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:13,700 For example, during the especially marked years 171 00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:17,020 of food crisis, United States food aid 172 00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:23,760 was reduced by about 25%, while at the same time, 173 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,520 commercial shipments soared to record levels. 174 00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:32,660 The third consideration is the definition 175 00:12:32,660 --> 00:12:34,220 of the problem itself. 176 00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:38,540 The way we define the problem tends to shape 177 00:12:38,540 --> 00:12:42,300 our understanding of our moral responsibility 178 00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:47,300 and in turn defines ourselves as a people and as a nation. 179 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,900 Some national leaders consistently present 180 00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:57,020 the food problem as a humanitarian challenge. 181 00:12:57,020 --> 00:13:02,820 The humanitarian view emphasizes our moral responsibility 182 00:13:02,820 --> 00:13:07,260 in terms of a voluntary program undertaken 183 00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:10,660 in a spirit of generosity. 184 00:13:10,660 --> 00:13:15,300 A more appropriate way is to define the issue primarily 185 00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:18,940 in terms of the demands of social justice 186 00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:23,540 in an increasingly interdependent world. 187 00:13:23,540 --> 00:13:27,540 Justice recognizes the rights of others 188 00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:31,900 and seeks the various structural changes required 189 00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:35,420 to meet these rights. 190 00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:41,100 This point was emphasized at the Rome Food Conference in 1974 191 00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:44,500 when our Holy Father, Pope Paul, defined the right 192 00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:52,820 to eat as a basic human right owed to each person. 193 00:13:52,820 --> 00:13:55,980 If the right is being denied when the means are 194 00:13:55,980 --> 00:14:00,460 available to fulfill it, then, our Holy Father said, 195 00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:04,360 it is time to look at our mechanisms of dealing 196 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,060 with food. 197 00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:08,620 This means looking at the systems and structures 198 00:14:08,620 --> 00:14:12,740 of production and distribution by which we determine 199 00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:18,300 what happens to food in an interdependent world. 200 00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:22,820 The global food problem concerns a fundamental right 201 00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:28,500 to life issue, people's right to eat. 202 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,100 To say others have a right to eat 203 00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:36,060 is to pose the problem in terms of obligation on our part 204 00:14:36,060 --> 00:14:39,260 rather than choice. 205 00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:42,140 If we fail in charity, the verdict 206 00:14:42,140 --> 00:14:48,900 that we have not been generous. If we fail in justice, the verdict is that we 207 00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:55,100 have fallen short of a minimal moral duty. If we fail, in fact, the hungering 208 00:14:55,100 --> 00:15:06,220 Christ stands in judgment of us. I was hungry and you did not give me to eat. 209 00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:14,100 The distinction between charity and justice is not merely semantic. To define 210 00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:20,260 our personal choices and our national policy options in terms of charity tends 211 00:15:20,260 --> 00:15:26,820 to distract us from the key national question. In the conventional 212 00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:31,740 understanding of the term, charity would call upon us to share our nation's 213 00:15:31,740 --> 00:15:38,660 surplus food with those who are in need. All of us accept us. But this leads to an 214 00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:44,020 inadequate assessment of the food problem, since the actual policy choice 215 00:15:44,020 --> 00:15:50,980 our nation faces no longer fits into this conventional charity mode. The 216 00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:56,380 challenge today in the short run is for the United States to produce more food 217 00:15:56,380 --> 00:16:02,380 than we need domestically and more food than we can sell abroad in order to help 218 00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:08,580 people in distant lands who otherwise might starve or remain chronically 219 00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:16,820 undernourished. The long-term and fundamental measure is to help the 220 00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:23,080 poorer countries develop their own agriculture and this calls for a 221 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:28,320 a substantial national commitment of financial and technical aid 222 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,860 from the richer countries, a burden which 223 00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:39,000 falls inescapably on the richer countries as taxpayers. 224 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,920 Government policies are necessarily 225 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,360 formulated on the basis of some conception of justice, 226 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,920 however limited, whereas charity informs and inspires 227 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,800 policy decisions only infrequently and then 228 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,860 unsystematically. 229 00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:57,560 Thus, the issues of public policy 230 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,800 comprising the world food problem 231 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,480 must be decided systematically and on the basis 232 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,040 of basic assumptions about the concepts of justice. 233 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,440 In my concluding remarks, I propose 234 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,160 to outline a tentative Christian response 235 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,980 appropriate for the US scene. 236 00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:23,340 The outline tries to adopt a threefold function 237 00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:26,780 of the people of God in the contemporary world. 238 00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:32,380 That is, witness, communal life, and worship. 239 00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:36,220 Like the tasks of the people of God, each of the phases 240 00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:39,180 is intricately related to the other two. 241 00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:44,220 They cannot be separated one from the other. 242 00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:47,420 The first phase is witnessing. 243 00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:52,380 that is the Christian life at the personal level. 244 00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:56,500 Individual lifestyles can make a difference. 245 00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,620 Excessive habits of consumption of food 246 00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:02,460 already in short supply violates the most fundamental 247 00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,820 Christian principle. 248 00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:08,240 The per capita consumption of protein in the United States 249 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,240 is about twice the level considered 250 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,300 by many to be adequate. 251 00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:16,500 A child born in this country places a demand 252 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:21,700 on the world's resources five times greater than a child born 253 00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:24,100 in the third world. 254 00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:26,340 Individuals and families can decide 255 00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:29,460 to change their lifestyles. 256 00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:32,980 They must decide to change their lifestyles 257 00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:37,000 by voluntarily limiting their patterns of consumption 258 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,940 and thereby reduce, however slightly, 259 00:18:39,940 --> 00:18:44,460 the rate of depletion of the world's finite resources 260 00:18:44,460 --> 00:18:49,100 and the starvation of those who have no food. 261 00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,860 Fasting is an ancient and virtuous practice 262 00:18:52,860 --> 00:18:56,060 in the Judeo-Christian tradition. 263 00:18:56,060 --> 00:19:00,500 Individual acts of fasting are needed today. 264 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:04,240 I cannot help but think here of the young boy who 265 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,820 had a few loaves and fishes. 266 00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:09,620 We all know that Christ, who is God, 267 00:19:09,620 --> 00:19:12,900 did not need those few loaves and fishes 268 00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:15,020 to feed that multitude. 269 00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:16,980 But he wanted to show us he depends 270 00:19:16,980 --> 00:19:22,580 on our individual act of being willing to give to others, 271 00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:27,780 to do his own work in loving all mankind. 272 00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:31,780 Individual acts of fasting are needed then, 273 00:19:31,780 --> 00:19:36,340 but they alone are not enough. 274 00:19:36,340 --> 00:19:39,580 The second phase is communal living. 275 00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:43,340 In the modern context, communal life 276 00:19:43,340 --> 00:19:46,820 has a structural or political dimension. 277 00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:50,660 Society is organized into political patterns 278 00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:53,180 designed to express and implement 279 00:19:53,180 --> 00:19:55,580 the will of the Commonwealth. 280 00:19:55,580 --> 00:20:00,460 The world food problems involves the structures and systems 281 00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:03,840 of food production, of food distribution, 282 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,180 and of financing, which determine 283 00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:11,300 how nation's scarce resources are to be allocated. 284 00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:14,040 In order to alleviate some of the problems, 285 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,660 changes in our nation's policies will 286 00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:21,200 have to be made through legislative action. 287 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,800 Such reforms require informed and committed citizens 288 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,980 who are deeply concerned about rectifying present inequities 289 00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:37,260 and committed to pursuing a more just society. 290 00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:41,740 Effective functioning of the American political process 291 00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:46,780 is desperately dependent upon an informed and concerned 292 00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:48,820 citizenry. 293 00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:55,300 But even revamped national policies are not enough. 294 00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:59,700 The final phase is worship. 295 00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:03,380 the worshiping community affirms its belief 296 00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:08,340 in the saving power and in the living presence and concern 297 00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:11,680 of God in this universe. 298 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,780 Worshiping Christians believe that despite the best 299 00:21:15,780 --> 00:21:20,500 of their intentions and their most enlightened visions 300 00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:23,340 and even their hardest work, there 301 00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:29,560 remains an extra measure that is beyond all human capability. 302 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,560 and that is God's active presence through Christ 303 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,360 among us in the world. 304 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:41,200 The people of God believe that prayer 305 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,600 can solicit this presence. 306 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,560 The complexities of the food problem 307 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:53,600 taxes the human imagination and invites efficacious prayer 308 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,120 from all of us Christians. 309 00:21:56,120 --> 00:22:00,560 Prayer not only has a place in the life of the people of God, 310 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,920 it is essential to that life, and it 311 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,840 is essential in the life of the world. 312 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,000 Two cautionary notes are in order. 313 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,360 First, as I said, these three go together. 314 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:23,800 And each of these phases taken alone has its faulty side. 315 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,960 Fasting, for instance, can lead a person to feel self-righteous, 316 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,560 and the act becomes merely vain and prideful. 317 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,840 To pursue national political programs can become an end-all, 318 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,800 and communal life can become contorted 319 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,760 into a political party. 320 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:51,240 To pray can be to presume upon God's infinite resources 321 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,860 and may lead us to presumptuousness. 322 00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:59,580 The three must go together. 323 00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:03,660 Second, each of the three phases cannot be done equally 324 00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:07,440 by everyone among God's people. 325 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,020 Each person has special talents and limitations. 326 00:23:12,020 --> 00:23:16,740 As Mother Teresa says, I cannot do what you do. 327 00:23:16,740 --> 00:23:19,460 You cannot do what I do. 328 00:23:19,460 --> 00:23:23,820 but together we can do something worthwhile. 329 00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:27,740 But for those who choose one phase over another, 330 00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:31,100 they must know that the other phases must be done 331 00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:33,580 by some members of the community. 332 00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:35,500 They must solicit that. 333 00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,140 They must support that. 334 00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:43,820 Therefore, some persons must fast for others. 335 00:23:43,820 --> 00:23:47,740 Some must politic for others. 336 00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:52,220 Some must pray for others. 337 00:23:52,220 --> 00:23:55,420 A concluding suggestion. 338 00:23:55,420 --> 00:24:00,820 Most of us have prayed the Lord's Prayer countless times, 339 00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:04,500 but few of us have ever known the reality of not 340 00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:08,860 receiving our daily bread. 341 00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:12,340 Perhaps it might be well, occasionally, 342 00:24:12,340 --> 00:24:16,660 in prayerful obedience to Jesus' intentions 343 00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:24,660 to ask our Father, give them this day their daily bread, 344 00:24:24,660 --> 00:24:29,820 and forgive us the wrongs we have done to them. 345 00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:30,620 Thank you very much. 346 00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:31,620 Thank you. 347 00:25:00,620 --> 00:25:13,300 And so as the final speaker on this morning's panel, it is my honor to present Sister Alice 348 00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:20,300 Anita, Mother General of the Sisters of St. Joseph stationed here at Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. 349 00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:21,300 Sister Anita. 350 00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:43,100 Your Excellencies, Reverend Fathers, dear sisters, and our friends in the laity. 351 00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:52,920 Your Excellency, Father Arrupe, Bishop D'Souza, and Bishop Sango, in reflecting on the challenges 352 00:25:52,920 --> 00:26:00,700 and the inspirational messages that you have given, my response focuses on three areas. 353 00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:06,500 The signs of the times, sometimes as signs of hope. 354 00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:12,140 obstacles to realistic response to this hungers of the world 355 00:26:12,140 --> 00:26:15,580 and overcoming these obstacles. 356 00:26:15,580 --> 00:26:20,180 I too share your anxiety, concern, and discouragement 357 00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:22,940 over world conditions. 358 00:26:22,940 --> 00:26:29,420 The task before us to alleviate world hunger 359 00:26:29,420 --> 00:26:34,100 is of infinite magnitude, seemingly 360 00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:41,700 far beyond our human energies and resources, one that we could not dare to undertake were 361 00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:50,380 it not for our confidence that with Christ and through Christ all things are possible. 362 00:26:50,380 --> 00:26:55,380 It is true the suffering in the world is overwhelming. 363 00:26:55,380 --> 00:27:02,540 The cries of the hungry, the cries of terror and despair reach us from all quarters of 364 00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:10,240 the earth, including our own United States. And yet, despite the evidences of 365 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:16,960 this rampant inhumanity and injustice, I read some signs as signs of hope and 366 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:25,480 promise. The first sign of promise lies in the remarkable increase in global 367 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,320 awareness of world hunger. We are listening, many of us, as we have never 368 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:37,600 listened before to the pleas of the starving. We are beginning to make their 369 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:44,720 problems ours. The very theme of this second day of the Congress, the focus of 370 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:52,280 this symposium, witnesses to our efforts, individual and collective, to eliminate 371 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:59,760 malnutrition and hunger in the world. Has not the Emmaus experience been 372 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,560 hours this morning as we listen to the vivid depiction of the world's suffering 373 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:12,600 and neglect. Were not our hearts burning within us as we more empathetically than 374 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:19,680 ever recognize the Christ in our poor. The very fact that we are gathered here 375 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:25,520 together witnessing to the presence of Christ in the Eucharist demonstrates 376 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:31,720 our faith conviction that Christ is living in all oppressed persons in the 377 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:38,680 world which he himself brought into being. I cannot restrain the hope that 378 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,720 the events of this week's conferences will be recorded as a turning point in 379 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:52,320 the inactivizing the social history of the church and of the world. But 380 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:58,920 I believe that this keen awareness, this almost tangible realization of world hunger, is a 381 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,720 sign of hope for us. 382 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:09,720 A sign that ignorance, apathy, indifference, and insensitivity are slowly, though very 383 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,840 slowly, being overcome.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,800 Found is a renewed sense of mission to the world, both personal and communal.   2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,040 The Christian community is endeavoring to place the strength of its transnational power   3 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:22,840 of compassion at the service of the undernourished and starving.   4 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:29,280 Collectively, we are attempting to do for the suffering what each one of us would like   5 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,000 to do personally but cannot.   6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,480 Dedicated and informed individuals   7 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:39,080 are working indefatigably to educate people   8 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,640 to the needs of the human family and of their responsibilities   9 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,160 to the suffering poor.   10 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:52,520 Such education now being imparted on all levels, school,   11 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,480 college, university, parish, diocese,   12 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,600 is a vital agent of this transnational social change.   13 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,360 Christians everywhere are being exposed to the problem   14 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,960 and acquiring a heightened consciousness   15 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,640 of the awesome reality that the needs of the poor   16 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,320 are our needs.   17 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,400 Their hunger is our hunger.   18 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,560 Many people are making sincere efforts now   19 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,040 to translate knowledge into action.   20 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,740 They are uniting efforts, organizing, and working   21 00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:31,760 together to bring about change.   22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,280 One such group is the World Bread for the World Committee,   23 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,380 enthusiastic reality in local groups,   24 00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:42,360 and or in congressional districts,   25 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,440 and or in state or coordinated sections.   26 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,120 Much more of this will be discussed   27 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,960 in this afternoon's panels.   28 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Presidents of church-related colleges, universities,   29 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920 and seminaries in the United States   30 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,440 have come together to participate   31 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,440 in a symposium entitled,   32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,880 A Decade of Commitment on World Hunger.   33 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,360 This symposium is resultant of previous local research,   34 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,600 conferences, and workshops.   35 00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:22,400 Bishop Sangu referred to the Niobe Conference.   36 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,680 I am quoting Bishop just what I have read recently in America magazine.   37 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:37,360 In the July 24th issue of America, another evidence of hope is recorded by Philip Land.   38 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,720 In evaluating his reaction to the full months of May's meeting in Nairobi, the United Nations   39 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:52,120 Trade and Development Conferences, he stated that the goal was to balance a more equitable   40 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,460 and just economic order internationally   41 00:02:56,460 --> 00:03:01,620 between the first world nations, the industrialized nations,   42 00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:07,060 and the third world nations, named Group 77.   43 00:03:07,060 --> 00:03:09,980 Though this was the fourth meeting of its kind,   44 00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:14,140 four years intervening between each meeting,   45 00:03:14,140 --> 00:03:16,720 it ended at least with a ray of hope   46 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,260 that some of the wealthy nations were   47 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:22,740 listening to the poor nations.   48 00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:26,500 Those from the rich, industrialized First World,   49 00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:32,460 North America, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand,   50 00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:36,940 probably instructed not to make any significant commitments,   51 00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:39,860 left the meeting satisfied that they   52 00:03:39,860 --> 00:03:43,660 had avoided doing just that.   53 00:03:43,660 --> 00:03:45,900 Some of the First World countries,   54 00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:50,500 however, notably the Nordic countries of the common market,   55 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,380 with the exception of Great Britain and West Germany,   56 00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:58,620 must have gone home with some justified satisfaction   57 00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:01,060 resultant of their serious efforts   58 00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:05,300 at useful and honest compromises.   59 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,860 The Nairobi conference was evaluated   60 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:10,980 by Jamaica's Herbert Walker, spokesman   61 00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:15,300 for the Third World Group of 77.   62 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,680 He states, quote, it was a turning point   63 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,700 in the international economic relations   64 00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:27,680 after months of preparation and in an especially intense effort   65 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,960 of the last two days.   66 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,740 We've bent all our efforts to reach each other   67 00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:38,760 across the dividing lines of the rich and the poor, end of quote.   68 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,020 Conferences such as this are not abstract computer responses.   69 00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:49,020 Conferences are women and men interiorized by a goal,   70 00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:53,020 whether that goal be materialistic or spiritual.   71 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:57,060 For me, this seemed a beginning,   72 00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:01,300 a microcosm of the implementation at last   73 00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:05,660 of Pope Paul's admission given on the 80th anniversary   74 00:05:05,660 --> 00:05:07,820 of Rerum Novarum.   75 00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,260 In that conference, he stated,   76 00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:16,980 The law of the market, like every other creation, has its moral limits.   77 00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:22,860 When it denies food to the starving people, it must be changed.   78 00:05:22,860 --> 00:05:29,100 He further stated, we do not make a gift of our possessions to the poor person.   79 00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,060 We are giving him what is his.   80 00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:37,820 For what we have has been given to us by our creator for the use of all.   81 00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:40,900 we have arrogated it to ourselves.   82 00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:46,660 This world was given to all, not only to the wealthy.   83 00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:53,100 The gift of the Eucharist thus becomes our responsibility.   84 00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:56,820 The third sign of promise stems from a deeper understanding   85 00:05:56,820 --> 00:06:00,860 among Catholics of the universality of the Church   86 00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:02,900 and of the Church's mission to the peoples   87 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:05,300 everywhere on Earth.   88 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:10,740 The Church has developed within the last 15 years a corpus of social doctrine that is   89 00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:13,040 without precedent.   90 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:20,020 In the face of inhuman and intolerable conditions, the Church has not remained silent.   91 00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:25,500 The American bishops exhort us to undertake genuine reordering of our priorities in the   92 00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,780 American Church.   93 00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:35,000 Their appeals to Christian conscience and responsible stewardship echo St. Paul's teaching   94 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520 in his first letter to the Corinthians,   95 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,620 that we must recognize the body,   96 00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:43,480 that the body of Christ in the bread   97 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,520 and the body of Christ in the community belong together.   98 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,220 St. Paul's concern that the Corinthian community   99 00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:55,200 was not caring for its weaker members   100 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,260 is the bishop's concern for us.   101 00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:00,340 They cannot do this alone.   102 00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:05,340 We are indeed today's Corinthians' community.   103 00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:09,340 Eucharist for the early Christians meant sharing,   104 00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:13,340 selling their possessions so that no one would be in want.   105 00:07:13,340 --> 00:07:17,340 This is what it must become for us,   106 00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:22,340 for the gift of the Eucharist becomes our responsibility.   107 00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:26,340 Another sign of promise is a call to action   108 00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:32,340 found in the awakened consciences of religious women and men,   109 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:36,340 in the renewal processes in their congregations.   110 00:07:36,340 --> 00:07:40,340 The traditional apostolates in ministry to the Church and the people   111 00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:43,340 are still, and I state this emphatically,   112 00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:48,340 of the greatest vital lifeline to the world.   113 00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:54,340 Ministry of Christian education, of nursing, of care for the aged.   114 00:07:54,340 --> 00:08:00,660 All that we have been doing must continue to be done, but it must be revitalized,   115 00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:06,340 rededicated by the women and men committed by personal consecration to do so.   116 00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:14,580 Mother Teresa is God's instrument of this revitalized compassion in all apostolic endeavors.   117 00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:21,700 Contemplative in action is her witness to the world in love.   118 00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:29,100 The traditional ministry of education from preschool to university must be the vital   119 00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:35,300 lifeline of Christocentric living. But as Pope Paul warns us,   120 00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:42,940 quote, education is vital, but it is not sufficient for the Church to enlighten minds.   121 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:49,860 It must also take part in Christian social action and spread with concern, compassion,   122 00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:56,860 in service and effectiveness the energies of the gospel."   123 00:08:56,860 --> 00:09:05,460 Society is to learn that there is no greater corporate power of Christocentric transformation   124 00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:11,060 of man than in religious congregations of women and men.   125 00:09:11,060 --> 00:09:15,320 Our call to discipleship is our life's commitment.   126 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:22,600 The renewal process mandated by Vatican II has been and continues to be painful and a   127 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360 soul-searching one.   128 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,720 Some have left to find other ways of Christian service.   129 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,440 Those who remain are more deeply committed than they have ever been.   130 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:41,580 Therefore, it is inevitable that society will find dedicated and qualified religious in   131 00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:48,020 all areas of life where the seeds of injustice are sown.   132 00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:53,020 I would speak for a moment for the religious women of the United States and tell you how   133 00:09:53,020 --> 00:09:58,820 we are responding to the pleas of the suffering in brevity.   134 00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:03,940 Fully aware that we can no longer be locked together in a limited world, that we must   135 00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:11,320 broaden our horizons of humanity, religious are taking on now new functions, new duties,   136 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:18,560 every sector of human need in order to make justice and compassion living realities for   137 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,920 the poor and the hungry.   138 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:28,080 A report from the National Catholic Relief Services is that the religious women of the   139 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:34,160 United States this year have contributed to the Leadership Conference of Women Religious   140 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,100 at least $1 million to the hungry,   141 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000 $300,000 of that corporate, the remainder personal.   142 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,000 Corporate seems to be a very abstract word   143 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,400 because that corporateness is divided   144 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,880 into individual communities, corporate sacrifice.   145 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,580 Just as one or two examples,   146 00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:01,760 one community that corporately decided   147 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,520 that that year, no one in the community would buy new shoes.   148 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,840 And that money was collected and sent   149 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880 to the Catholic Relief Services.   150 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Many of these individual examples could be given,   151 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,660 but time does not permit.   152 00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:21,960 Second to the parochial schools and the CCD classes,   153 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,080 great stimulation to personal responsibility   154 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,400 is being motivated, is motivating sacrifice.   155 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,840 We have had that perfect example in our Operation Rice Bowl   156 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,600 of last year.   157 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Concern for neighborhood needs, the lonely   158 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,400 who are living alone, the hungry and the ill.   159 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,300 Here in Philadelphia, St. John's Hospice   160 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,040 is a focal point for many religious women   161 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,640 who are devoting their time and sacrifice.   162 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,800 Qualified and deaf, each of these sisters   163 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,520 is in full-time ministry of education.   164 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:03,000 Qualified and dedicated religion are keeping a Nader-like eye   165 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,600 on legislative action relevant to justice and peace,   166 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,960 and they are forming a strong lobbying force.   167 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,440 Administrative persons and religious communities   168 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,240 endeavor to modify the policies of large corporations   169 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,000 in which the corporate community holds stocks.   170 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,640 This is accomplished by membership   171 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,200 in the National Catholic Coalition   172 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,280 for Responsible Investments, which, again,   173 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,760 is the Christian nadir-like way of saying,   174 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,780 of keeping eyes on those corporations.   175 00:12:40,780 --> 00:12:45,440 As shareholders, we exercise our voting power   176 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,300 and demand evidence of gospel value   177 00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:53,360 in the financial operations of these corporations.   178 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,800 Two examples that I will give you   179 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,800 are the Charity Sisters of Nazareth, Kentucky,   180 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,920 and the Sisters of Loretta,   181 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,800 who successfully brought pressure to bear   182 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,040 on a large corporation and a few small companies   183 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,920 to reclaim areas in Appalachia   184 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,200 that were destroyed by strip mining operations.   185 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,740 Another religious community of women,   186 00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:20,520 the Caldwell Dominicans of New Jersey,   187 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,280 After a three-year struggle with zoning regulations in courts,   188 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,020 finally last month succeeded to the Supreme Court of New   189 00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:32,580 Jersey in obtaining the legal right   190 00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:35,600 to build a home on their property   191 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,360 for aging middle class persons.   192 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,580 We, Sisters of St. Joseph, through a chapter mandate   193 00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:49,120 in 1974, have established a social concerns committee   194 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,200 under the chairmanship of one of our counselors.   195 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,800 Active participation began in 1975   196 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800 at a conference sponsored at St. Joseph's College   197 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,600 under the guidance of Reverend Edward Brady.   198 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,680 As a result of that, a small beginning started.   199 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:14,960 400 hunger kits were distributed throughout our schools.   200 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:22,280 letter-writing campaigns began, the right to life, right to food, criminal justice,   201 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Indians, the farm workers' support. Hundreds of letters were xeroxed and   202 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:35,280 mailed at the community expense in defense of these rights. Quietly but   203 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,440 effectively, I am grateful to say the work of concern in many areas   204 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:46,320 continues by individual sisters fully involved in the work in the Ministry of   205 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,440 Education. A survey of all religious communities would be an invaluable   206 00:14:51,440 --> 00:15:00,040 stimuli to those who fear consciousness for the poor is not being raised. These   207 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:06,680 are some signs of the times which give hope and courage to us all. Our response   208 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:13,840 to the world situation nevertheless is still weak and inadequate. The problem is   209 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:22,220 coming to grips with the food crisis of daunting complexity. We continue to   210 00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:28,200 take small steps for the betterment of mankind when in reality we should be   211 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:35,720 taking giant ones. What holds back at one our full and wholehearted response to   212 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,900 to the hungers of the world.   213 00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:42,460 Is it first that our faith is weak?   214 00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:45,140 Our response to the pleas of the hungry   215 00:15:45,140 --> 00:15:50,040 will always be proportionate to the depth of our faith,   216 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:55,040 to the intensity of our belief in the mystical body of Christ.   217 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,020 As a community of faith, we are called to be   218 00:15:58,020 --> 00:16:01,500 a community of the Beatitudes.   219 00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:03,580 A second reason for our reluctance   220 00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:07,500 to accept generously the opportunity to make up   221 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:10,520 for what is wanting in the sufferings of Christ   222 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,260 for the sake of his body, the church,   223 00:16:13,260 --> 00:16:16,140 arises from a crisis of solidarity.   224 00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:20,620 This stems from an unwillingness to contribute   225 00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:24,360 to a better distribution of available resources.   226 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,500 His Holiness asks, quote,   227 00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:38,900 Will those who possess these means remain as those struck by paralysis when confronted with the enduring poverty of so many?"   228 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:49,100 And yet they continue to worship, we continue to worship the idol of power, making material abundance an end in itself.   229 00:16:49,100 --> 00:17:03,100 Another reason hindering authentic living of our Beatitudes, implicitly contained in the other two reasons, and already mentioned by Father Arrupe, is lack of motivation.   230 00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:10,100 Motivation is an intricate, complex, intangible reality.   231 00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:18,100 Responding to the needs of the world involves much more than mere material contributions.   232 00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:23,100 It is not sufficient to give of our material abundance only.   233 00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:29,100 Genuine motivation must be predicated on certain basic truths.   234 00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:37,100 First, that the sacrificial death of Christ was offered for all men and all times.   235 00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:42,100 Second, that it is not enough for us to share Christ's sacrifice.   236 00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:47,100 we must identify with him and his concern for all men.   237 00:17:49,260 --> 00:17:53,440 Third, that the suffering of one is the suffering of all.   238 00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:57,700 When these spiritual truths are entrenched   239 00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:02,200 in our minds and hearts, then and only then   240 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,340 will we be motivated to make our act of total giving   241 00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:09,160 and loving to our suffering family.   242 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:16,160 weakness of faith, crisis of solidarity, and lack of motivation.   243 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:22,160 These are the chief obstacles to the full living of the Beatitudes,   244 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,160 for our failure to hear the words of our modern prophets.   245 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,160 If we as Christians are to proclaim realistically   246 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,160 the living relationship between God and man,   247 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:41,500 If we are to make Christ credible and relevant to our unbelieving world,   248 00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:47,300 we must overcome these obstacles, first within ourselves,   249 00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:53,940 so that the early recognition of the Christians may again be identified with us.   250 00:18:53,940 --> 00:18:58,280 See how those Christians love one another.   251 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:04,520 It is only through the transformation of man that this can be accomplished.   252 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:12,520 Without a conversion of heart and attitude, we cannot meet the demands of love and sacrifice   253 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,520 required to alleviate the sufferings of humanity.   254 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:23,520 How futile it is to work for societal changes without first changing ourselves.   255 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:31,520 The Eucharist is the sign of unity, of solidarity, and it is the bond of charity.   256 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:38,520 Anyone who approaches it cannot ignore the unfortunate members of the body.   257 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:46,520 He must feel committed within the limits of his possibilities to satisfy the hungers of his needy neighbors,   258 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,520 be they local or global.   259 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:58,520 The reception of the Bread of Life expresses not only the personal relationship between ourselves and God,   260 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:05,600 but also the communal relationship between ourselves and our fellow men.   261 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Transformed by the experience of Christ's love in the Eucharist, a person   262 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:19,880 responds in love for his fellow man and accepts responsibility for him.   263 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:26,600 The Eucharist is the motivating force, the inspiration and strength of our personal   264 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:34,180 and communal mission to the world. The Eucharist indissolubly joins us to the   265 00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:42,820 cross of Christ and exacts from us the price of discipleship. Father Ruppe   266 00:20:42,820 --> 00:20:50,040 named this victimhood. Love and sacrifice are the very elements of   267 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,600 of Eucharistic mystery.   268 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,920 These are the elements of the Christocentric action   269 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,920 of every Christian, priest, minister, laity, religious.   270 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,860 Without them, all efforts are merely activism,   271 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,380 an alleviation of the hungers of the world, fruitless.   272 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,700 Let us reflect for a moment on the effect   273 00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:21,100 of Christ's last message to the multitude   274 00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,060 after the miracle of the loaves and the fishes.   275 00:21:25,220 --> 00:21:29,620 Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood,   276 00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:32,540 you shall not have life in you.   277 00:21:32,540 --> 00:21:36,660 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood   278 00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:39,980 abides in me and I in him.   279 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,020 Many of his followers said to each other,   280 00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:55,460 This is an intolerable saying, and they walked with him no more.   281 00:21:55,460 --> 00:22:03,860 Are we Christians of this great, challenging period of history open to Christ's promise   282 00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:15,540 and thus leave each Eucharistic celebration as other Christ, or is this to us an intolerable   283 00:22:15,540 --> 00:22:24,060 saying and do I choose to remain bread and wine. Thank you.   284 00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:43,380 Thank you.   285 00:22:43,380 --> 00:22:44,380 Thank you, Sister Anita.   286 00:22:44,380 --> 00:22:48,580 And may I also say thank you, Father Arrupe.   287 00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:50,060 Thank you, Bishop D'Souza.   288 00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:51,440 Thank you, Bishop Sangu.   289 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:58,280 Bishop Rouse for having let us off in this panel. And now my dear friends, we   290 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,160 will proceed with the ceremony that we have all waited for.</div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michael Doheny of the Holy Ghost Fathers, born in   58 00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:39,460 Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1915.   59 00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:44,580 The father received his education at Black Rock

Congregation in 1935 and was ordained in 1945.   62 00:06:55,060 --> 00:07:02,060 Since 1972, he has been involved in relief for Bangladesh.   63 00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:07,660 He accompanied the

also participated in making the two-hour documentary film on world hunger entitled   66 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:23,880 Five Minutes to Midnight.   67 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:35,240 It gives me great pleasure to present to you Archbishop de Souza.   68 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Sister Consuelo Maria, Your Excellency, Lord Bishops, Archbishops, Monsignor Raven Fathers,   69 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,680 sisters and dear friends.   70 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:59,680 I have spoken at length this morning and I have said we have to do more and talk less.   71 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:07,680 So I am going to be very short.   72 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,080 True love be servants of one another.   73 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Saint Paul to the Galatians, chapter 5, verse 13.   74 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,160 The word of God to be effective must be lived.   75 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:30,840 The fathers of the church have repeated this in all possible ways.   76 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:37,840 The preaching of the word without its witness, without life, was a scandal to the people   77 00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:47,260 of the first century, as it still is to the non-Christians today.   78 00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:55,140 It brings our religion under severe suspicion and criticism, as then it brought people to   79 00:08:56,540 --> 00:09:01,580 curse rather than to convert.   80 00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:08,580 Jesus says clearly that we must first do and then teach.   81 00:09:08,620 --> 00:09:14,100 Let our mind, said Saint Ambrose, remain always with him.   82 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:18,740 Let it never be separated from his word.   83 00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:25,740 The early Christians nourished themselves with the Eucharist and the word with an equal   84 00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:28,020 love.   85 00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:35,020 They used to say, we eat his flesh and drink his blood in the divine Eucharist, but also   86 00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:40,380 in the reading of the scriptures.   87 00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:47,380 They also said, this reading of the scriptures is like eating of the Paschal lamb, and my   88 00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:55,700 refuge is the gospel, which is for me like the flesh of Christ.   89 00:09:55,980 --> 00:10:02,980 Giving and sharing, therefore, is the very basis of the Christian living.   90 00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:10,020 Hence the vitality of Christianity is manifested in the generosity and love with which we   91 00:10:10,540 --> 00:10:13,140 Christians give.   92 00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:20,140 By giving, not only we help and serve our brethren, but we also purify ourselves and   93 00:10:22,340 --> 00:10:29,340 become more Christian, receiving in the process something more precious than what we give.   94 00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:37,180 By giving of what we have, we enrich ourselves in what we are.   95 00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:45,180 Giving in time of emergencies, natural calamities, which are frequent and on the increase, like   96 00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:54,420 famines, droughts, floods, fires, earthquakes, etc., an immediate and accidental need calls   97 00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:01,140 for an immediate unconditional help.   98 00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:08,140 So it is these trials that bring us closer to the cross of Christ in which there is salvation.   99 00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:14,980 We have witnessed this Christian giving on many occasions.   100 00:11:14,980 --> 00:11:21,980 Christians individually and through charitable organizations effectively help in these emergency   101 00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:29,580 situations, and their good example has had a very salutary and contagious effect on others.   102 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:33,700 Even unbelievers.   103 00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:40,700 Well, you might have read about the Loretto Child in Need feeding program.   104 00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:48,340 It was very much appreciated in our country.   105 00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:55,340 There is, however, another kind of giving and helping with development and productivity   106 00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:57,740 in view.   107 00:11:57,740 --> 00:12:03,980 To help people help themselves and each other in turn.   108 00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:10,700 Much help is given by various Catholic organizations for development work.   109 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:17,340 The purpose of this nature of help is to put in the hands of the people the means and the   110 00:12:17,340 --> 00:12:22,860 know-how to earn a living without depending on others.   111 00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:29,860 In other words, to educate and to make them self-sufficient as far as possible.   112 00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:37,700 And here I would like to pay a tribute to the sisters in America who have done a wonderful   113 00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:42,940 job in the educational line in the parochial schools.   114 00:12:42,940 --> 00:12:49,380 And I hope and pray that they will keep up that standard.   115 00:12:49,380 --> 00:12:56,380 The fruits of which we used to see during the last war when servicemen used to come   116 00:12:57,740 --> 00:13:04,740 to make their confession and always pay a tribute to sisters so and so who taught them   117 00:13:05,980 --> 00:13:09,420 the Catholicism.   118 00:13:09,420 --> 00:13:16,380 In other words, to educate and to make them self-sufficient as far as possible.   119 00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:23,380 This is a more difficult and demanding assistance as it calls for a deep, careful, and sympathetic   120 00:13:25,340 --> 00:13:32,340 and on-the-spot study of the needs, proper planning for action, execution, and patient   121 00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:35,540 follow-up of the plan.   122 00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:42,540 All this has to be done together with the people themselves in a continual process of   123 00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:48,300 mutual education and mutual help.   124 00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:54,740 Several of these projects are being subsidized and helped all over the world by Christians.   125 00:13:54,740 --> 00:14:01,740 And to a very large extent, over the years, by the Catholic Relief Services of the United   126 00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:05,740 States Catholic Bishops Conference.   127 00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:12,740 A pioneer organization as far as I know in the matter of relief and welfare works.   128 00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:21,460 This organization has been in a way the parent and the source of inspiration to various others   129 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,180 that have sprung up subsequently.   130 00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:34,180 And here we see how a good example is contagious.   131 00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:41,380 And how necessary it is to live the gospel of Christ, to live our Christianity without   132 00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:46,060 watering it down.   133 00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:52,260 We gratefully witness the lasting results of the works carried out under the guidance,   134 00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:59,260 inspiration, and generous assistance given by the CRS under the dynamic leadership of   135 00:14:59,620 --> 00:15:01,860 Bishop Sornstrom.   136 00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:07,360 Who together with his esteemed collaborators have done a magnificent job in witnessing   137 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,340 to the concern and charity of Christ.   138 00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:14,740 In emergencies, they don't wait to be asked.   139 00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:20,620 They are there on the spot to study the situation and offer immediate help.   140 00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:27,620 Besides, their frequent, friendly, personal visits to the far-flung and difficult posts   141 00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:35,620 and to the people afflicted have been to all concern an invaluable source of encouragement   142 00:15:36,180 --> 00:15:39,540 and deep edification to the officials.   143 00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:44,540 They have certainly vitalized some of the local agencies.   144 00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:51,540 Through these projects, well-drawn, sympathetically scrutinized, supervised, and carried out,   145 00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:59,540 people become self-sufficient and capable of helping others in turn.   146 00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:06,540 Land development, irrigation, new seeds, and methods of cultivation are areas where a lot   147 00:16:08,420 --> 00:16:13,460 of good and profitable work has been done and can still be done.   148 00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:19,580 Thanks to the commandment of love and the true Christian spirit of sharing.   149 00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:26,580 In my own diocese of Baroda, more than 2,000 wells have been excavated and pumps provided.   150 00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:34,940 Thousands of acres of land have been improved through leveling and bundling to prevent erosion.   151 00:16:34,940 --> 00:16:41,540 Milk cooperatives have been established to increase the income of marginal farmers.   152 00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:46,100 Seed banks provide seeds to thousands of farmers.   153 00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:52,740 Village go-downs are constructed, roads improved or built, village tanks cleaned, deepened   154 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:59,740 or enlarged to food for work programs initiated by Catholic Relief Services.   155 00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:07,460 All this includes a real process of education for the farmers who learn to run and to manage   156 00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:14,740 their own affairs and find solutions in common for their problems.   157 00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:21,740 They also learn to contribute to similar projects with increased production of their   158 00:17:21,780 --> 00:17:28,780 farms. They return the help given to them so that others can be helped in their turn.   159 00:17:28,980 --> 00:17:35,980 I am done.   160 00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:42,980 Thank you.   161 00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:58,060 Concerned Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,   162 00:17:58,060 --> 00:18:05,060 This time last month I was in Nairobi in East Africa for a meeting of Church leaders   163 00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:20,340 from five East African countries—Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.   164 00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:35,740 When one goes to that part of the world, one sees the human family in a state of development,   165 00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:48,300 and one sees the Church at work meeting the sum total of human needs to the limits of   166 00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:56,300 its means and abilities.   167 00:18:56,980 --> 00:19:03,980 In this precious time that is mine, I hope that I can relate for you the role of the   168 00:19:05,220 --> 00:19:12,220 agency that I direct in the United States, the Society for the Propagation of the Faith,   169 00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:20,220 to the problem of world hunger.   170 00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:26,940 Father Brady came to me quite some months ago, almost a year ago, with his gracious   171 00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:33,940 invitation to be part of this symposium. Shortly after it I learned that there was to be a   172 00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:41,940 symposium at the same time on missionary work and evangelization.   173 00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:49,940 I must say that a twinge came over me. I got a bit of a guilty conscience. Was I going   174 00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:57,940 to be in the wrong place when the Eucharistic Congress came around? I made myself do some   175 00:19:58,940 --> 00:20:05,940 very in-depth thinking about that, and I would like you to know that I really believe that   176 00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:11,940 I am in the right place this afternoon because I think it is terribly important for people   177 00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:22,940 like yourselves to understand the connection between Church at its essence and concern   178 00:20:23,940 --> 00:20:30,940 for a human problem such as hunger.   179 00:20:30,940 --> 00:20:37,940 Hunger for food, hunger of the Spirit.   180 00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:48,940 The Lord Jesus came into our world sent by the Father out of the Father's loving concern   181 00:20:48,940 --> 00:20:58,940 for children who had gone astray and, as a result of that, had created needs for themselves   182 00:20:58,940 --> 00:21:04,940 that God alone could satisfy.   183 00:21:04,940 --> 00:21:12,940 And ever since that time, the Church that this Son has sent in the name of the Father,   184 00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:20,940 empowered by the Holy Spirit, has been striving in its mixture of a divine and human way   185 00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:24,940 to carry out that mission.   186 00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:33,940 I would like to say it loud and clear that concern for human hunger for the daily bread   187 00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:45,940 that we need to stay alive physically is truly an aspect of the Church's missionary life and work.   188 00:21:45,940 --> 00:21:50,940 It is not an extra frill added on.   189 00:21:50,940 --> 00:22:00,940 It is not something one indulges in in order to attract others to the core message of Christianity.   190 00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:08,940 It is not something that one gets into to attract attention for some other purpose.   191 00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:18,940 Rather, this concern is truly a part of the Church's mission to humanity.   192 00:22:18,940 --> 00:22:26,940 The Fathers of the Second Vatican Council very loudly and clearly told us that the Church   193 00:22:26,940 --> 00:22:34,940 had its outreach not just because it was given a mandate by Christ Jesus,   194 00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:43,940 but because it contained an inner explosiveness, an inner dynamism that always wanted to go out   195 00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:51,940 and to offer the fullness of God's love, made incarnate in the presence of Jesus Christ,   196 00:22:51,940 --> 00:23:05,940 in the person of Jesus Christ, to humanity and with it a loving concern for humanity's real problems.   197 00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:12,940 Certainly, among those, hunger is high on the priority list.   198 00:23:13,940 --> 00:23:22,940 Since assuming my responsibilities ten years ago as the National Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith,   199 00:23:22,940 --> 00:23:27,940 my work has taken me to over sixty countries.   200 00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:38,940 I have known the anguish that maybe you have been spared of seeing in the flesh those starving people   201 00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:47,940 whose pictures sometimes we see in our periodicals, our newscasts, our television programs,   202 00:23:47,940 --> 00:23:52,940 or in our mission magazines, including my own.   203 00:23:52,940 --> 00:23:57,940 It is hard to see that before your very eyes.   204 00:23:57,940 --> 00:24:02,940 It is hard to see the child victims of Quashiore Corps,   205 00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:10,940 to see the homeless starving in the streets that you sometimes find in the Orient,   206 00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:18,940 to see the crowds lining up out of a food station in a mission center in a part of Africa.   207 00:24:18,940 --> 00:24:22,940 One doesn't even need to go that far, though,   208 00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:29,940 because this type of hunger exists in our own land and on our own continent.   209 00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:35,940 It seems to me that we who claim that we are Christ's followers   210 00:24:35,940 --> 00:24:43,940 have a very special role to play in the solution of that problem of world hunger.   211 00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:51,940 It is truly a spiritual problem in the sense that it will never be solved   212 00:24:52,940 --> 00:24:59,940 until enough people in the right places stir themselves to be sufficiently concerned   213 00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:05,940 about the welfare of their fellow man to take the appropriate actions.   214 00:25:05,940 --> 00:25:09,940 I have never read yet, or never been convinced,   215 00:25:09,940 --> 00:25:18,940 that our planet is incapable of providing sufficient food for those who are on it at the present time,   216 00:25:18,940 --> 00:25:25,940 so that the fact that millions live and die in material hunger,   217 00:25:25,940 --> 00:25:31,940 die from malnutrition, undernutrition, from starvation,   218 00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:35,940 is really some kind of an indictment on all the rest of us   219 00:25:35,940 --> 00:25:41,940 who just haven't gotten things together in the right way to solve the problem.   220 00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:45,940 Here's what I mean about the role of the Church.   221 00:25:45,940 --> 00:25:52,940 I believe that it is to be a constant prod at the conscience of humanity,   222 00:25:52,940 --> 00:26:00,940 calling the attention of governments, of agencies, of philanthropies, of foundations,   223 00:26:00,940 --> 00:26:06,940 of communities of every type, to the plight of the fellow man   224 00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:10,940 who does not literally have sufficient food to eat.   225 00:26:10,940 --> 00:26:14,940 I believe, too, with a very powerful conviction,   226 00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:18,940 that we are not just to be a conscience doing that,   227 00:26:18,940 --> 00:26:24,940 but that we are also to take what steps we can ourselves   228 00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:30,940 for their signed value and also for their effective value   229 00:26:30,940 --> 00:26:34,940 in practical ways to relieve the problem.   230 00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:38,940 In going about this world of ours,   231 00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:42,940 I see no more concerned people in this area   232 00:26:42,940 --> 00:26:48,940 than those who have committed themselves on a full-time basis   233 00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:54,940 to this work of the Church that we call its missionary life and existence.   234 00:26:54,940 --> 00:26:57,940 Archbishop de Souza is one of them.   235 00:26:57,940 --> 00:27:00,940 There are many others scattered around this room,   236 00:27:00,940 --> 00:27:05,940 some of whom I recognize as friends for many years.   237 00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:12,940 It truly is a beautiful thing to go into the so-called third world   238 00:27:12,940 --> 00:27:19,940 and see the concern of the Church for the needs of suffering humanity.   239 00:27:19,940 --> 00:27:23,940 It's not enough. It's not well enough organized.   240 00:27:23,940 --> 00:27:25,940 It isn't backed sufficiently.   241 00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:31,940 And yet, in spite of that, I would insist that it truly is a beautiful thing   242 00:27:31,940 --> 00:27:36,940 and that it is a sign of God's very loving concern   243 00:27:36,940 --> 00:27:41,940 for the entire human family on this earth of ours.   244 00:27:41,940 --> 00:27:47,940 The Society for the Propagation of the Faith rejoices in the fact   245 00:27:47,940 --> 00:27:52,940 that its role is to help people in countries like ours   246 00:27:52,940 --> 00:27:56,940 to be aware of the totality of the Church's mission,   247 00:27:56,940 --> 00:28:00,940 to announce and proclaim Jesus Christ,   248 00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:03,940 to offer the bread of life that is the Eucharist,   249 00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:11,940 and to remind people who hear those words of the other needs of humanity—   250 00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:15,940 the needs for education, the needs for medical care,   251 00:28:15,940 --> 00:28:20,940 the need for social development, the need for the food,   252 00:28:20,940 --> 00:28:26,940 the daily bread that keeps human physical life alive.   253 00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:30,940 We in our country and in our part of the world   254 00:28:30,940 --> 00:28:35,940 have tended to divide those things into two different sections,   255 00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:39,940 two different parts when we think and talk about them.   256 00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:44,940 And yet, if you go into the developing world, the third world,   257 00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:47,940 the mission world, whatever name you have for it,   258 00:28:47,940 --> 00:28:51,940 you'll find out that this division does not exist   259 00:28:51,940 --> 00:28:55,940 because you will find the person who is the witness of Christ,   260 00:28:55,940 --> 00:28:59,940 the representative of the Church, striving to take care   261 00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:05,940 of as many of the needs of their fellow human beings as is possible.   262 00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:08,940 This is the end of side one.   263 00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:11,940 To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,880 The Society for the Propagation of the Faith rejoices over the fact that it is asked by   2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,940 the Church to support the physical presence of the Church, to support the local churches   3 00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:27,200 of the world with the kind of assistance that just makes it possible for existence to be   4 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:34,000 maintained. Not a luxury type existence at all, but a physical presence, however,   5 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,920 that makes possible the kind of things that Archbishop de Souza just described   6 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,400 for us. There couldn't be the new farming methods, they couldn't be the wells dug,   7 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,280 they couldn't be those other things he referred to, unless the Church were first   8 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:58,600 there to do them. And as a corollary of that, our work is to help people in our   9 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,520 own country to stay alive and alert to the world dimensions of   10 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:12,760 their commitment to Jesus Christ. The society rejoices too over the fact that   11 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,000 it has been asked by the church to be so vitally involved in the training of all   12 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,200 of its future personnel—the sisters, the brothers, the lay leaders, particularly the   13 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:33,560 catechists and the clergy itself—to be involved in training those men and women, now young   14 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,960 men and young women, who will give their lives in loving concern for the whole family of   15 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,360 man.   16 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:51,200 Ever since World War II, the Catholic Church in the United States has shown a concern for   17 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:59,040 the rest of the world that possibly has not been equaled in the course of Christianity's   18 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,040 history.   19 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,740 Please, God, I do not say this boastfully.   20 00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:12,680 I do not indulge in triumphalism, but only to reassure you, to give you the confidence   21 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,840 that you are part of something truly worthwhile.   22 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,240 And we have many agencies to do that.   23 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:28,320 I can think of them, things like the Catholic Near East Welfare Association for the Oriental   24 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:35,160 Mission areas of the world, things like the Catholic Medical Mission Board that send out   25 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:42,640 doctors, nurses, medical supplies and equipment, the Holy Childhood Association   26 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,480 that keeps our young children interested in the poor of the world and the poor   27 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,480 church, the mission-sending societies that send our sons and daughters to show   28 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,840 forth the Catholicity that only can be shown when people are exchanged from one   29 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:10,600 place to another. But two principal ones stand out, the Catholic Relief Services and the   30 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,800 Society for the Propagation of the Faith. And I do want to tell you that because of   31 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:24,120 your support for both of them, and a very dear friend and esteemed colleague, Jim Norris,   32 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:31,240 will speak of the Catholic Relief Services sufficiently, because of these two agencies,   33 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,580 The church is able to stay in existence, to hang together, to stay in there in the rest   34 00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:39,680 of the world.   35 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,240 And then when it's there, when it's alive, when it's present, it's able to come to the   36 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,400 aid of all of the hungers of the human family.   37 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,400 It's able to offer the Word of God.   38 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,540 It's able to offer the Eucharist itself.   39 00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:07,040 It's able to offer Jesus and it's able to offer bread when it has it to the suffering,   40 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,800 starving members, our brothers and sisters in the family of man.   41 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:19,420 Please God, all of us will go away from this Eucharistic Congress with the conviction that   42 00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:26,600 every time we share in the Eucharist of the Lord from this day to the rest of our lives,   43 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:33,000 We worship not alone but in union with all the Church, and we ask back from the Father   44 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:43,160 strength, life, health, grace, food, not just for ourselves but for all of our brothers   45 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,600 and sisters in the family of man.   46 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:53,680 And then, to the degree that is in our ability, we carry out that prayer, that worship, in   47 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,080 the witness and the work of our lives.   48 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,920 Thank you very much for your constant support and for your graciousness today in listening   49 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:10,800 to my words.   50 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Thank you, Bishop O'Mara, for the hope you give us that the little we can do can be so   51 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,240 effective.   52 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,080 Our next speaker will show us another area in which our little can also mean a great   53 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,080 deal.   54 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:35,520 Mr. North.   55 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,040 Thank you, Sister Consuela and my dear friends.   56 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,680 I think that our good friend Bishop D'Souza has given a rather good description of the   57 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,800 work of Catholic Relief Services, and maybe at this point I should really sit down and   58 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,380 just say Bishop de Souza described it.   59 00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:02,260 But since the theological base for feeding the hungry and serving the needy has been   60 00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:09,020 established so beautifully throughout this whole day as well as even yesterday, my talk   61 00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:14,380 or my remarks here are going to be more or less of a pragmatic nature in relation to   62 00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:21,360 disaster aid and the programs of the church, how they are carried out at this time.   63 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:28,040 We have right now, fresh in our minds, this terrible earthquake in China. Few details   64 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:36,000 are known except we do know that the dimensions are so vast that even as we sit here in comfort,   65 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,240 people are digging their dead bodies of relatives and friends out of the rubble and vast thousands,   66 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,520 numbers still unknown are being displaced.   67 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,360 Hundreds of people are coming anxiously trying   68 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960 to know how they can be of help.   69 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,520 And at this point, all help is being refused.   70 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,600 And there may be good reasons in China for that,   71 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,600 which could be brought out possibly later on.   72 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,120 But here again, we have an example of the concern   73 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,280 and the compassion of people when disaster strikes.   74 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,880 And every disaster, whether it's man-made or it's natural,   75 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,240 brings a need for a very timely and effective help   76 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,440 in the form of food, shelter, health care, and medicine.   77 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,840 The trauma that results from the loss of everything that one   78 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,880 owns and the sudden displacement due to a catastrophe   79 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,920 can be alleviated to a degree by immediate aid   80 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,560 and the presence of concerned people   81 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,560 administering that aid.   82 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,200 And for this reason, among others,   83 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,560 in the last quarter of the century,   84 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,040 the agencies of the Church have been giving high priority   85 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,680 to emergency aid in times of disaster.   86 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000 Since January of this year, there   87 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,440 have been a number of emergencies,   88 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,240 each one slightly different in nature,   89 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,640 and each one requiring an adaptability and a flexibility   90 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200 on the part of the agencies that try   91 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640 to meet these emergencies.   92 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,880 Just a short list could give you an idea   93 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,680 of the variety of situations that   94 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,760 have faced the agencies of the Church this year.   95 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,960 The earthquake in Guatemala, the recent earthquake   96 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,320 in northern Italy, the civil war in Lebanon,   97 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,560 the war in Angola, the civil war in East Timor,   98 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,160 the typhoon and floods in the Philippines,   99 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,600 the uprising in the Spanish Sahara,   100 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,940 the drought emergency in northeast Brazil, the typhoon   101 00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:43,260 and floods in Guam, the earthquakes, two of them   102 00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:47,380 in Indonesia, including Bali, and now   103 00:08:47,380 --> 00:08:49,580 the recent earthquake in China.   104 00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:52,900 I will not talk about the situation in Bangladesh   105 00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:56,820 because we have Father Doheny who will talk about that.   106 00:08:56,820 --> 00:08:59,940 No two situations are exactly alike,   107 00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:02,360 either in the dimensions of the problem   108 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,840 nor in the means that are required to administer aid.   109 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,400 But all of them have an element in common, the destruction   110 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,920 or loss of one's home and all of one's possessions,   111 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,480 hard-earned possessions in most cases,   112 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,920 and the displacement of vast thousands of homeless refugees,   113 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,760 either on a temporary or on a permanent basis.   114 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,360 A meaningful and effective response to these emergencies   115 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,520 is more easily carried out in those areas   116 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,240 where agencies have ongoing programs of aid and development,   117 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,920 because that type of activity helps   118 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,560 to provide the infrastructure that's   119 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:48,600 needed to mount a successful, large-scale emergency program.   120 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200 A natural reaction when disaster strikes   121 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,740 is to rush supplies without any reference to need,   122 00:09:54,740 --> 00:09:57,700 with the result that frequently in a few days   123 00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:02,300 there is a pileup of unneeded or unwanted supplies,   124 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:06,220 either in the forms of food, shelter, or medicine.   125 00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:09,620 People rush into disaster areas who are unneeded.   126 00:10:09,620 --> 00:10:11,820 They come without thinking of the fact   127 00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:15,260 that they will be consuming scarce food stocks   128 00:10:15,260 --> 00:10:19,100 and requiring scarce shelter to be provided locally.   129 00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:23,260 Based on years of experience, agencies engaged in emergency   130 00:10:23,260 --> 00:10:26,860 aid learn that the maxim, haste makes waste,   131 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:30,740 is a truism twice over in such situations.   132 00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:34,620 Pre-planning is vital to the success of any emergency aid   133 00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:36,020 program.   134 00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:38,740 The prompt gathering of the facts of the situation   135 00:10:38,740 --> 00:10:43,060 provides the basis on which an aid program can be mounted   136 00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:45,820 effectively and promptly.   137 00:10:45,820 --> 00:10:50,120 For example, following our list of items of information   138 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,700 that must be ascertained within hours   139 00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:55,060 of the news of a disaster.   140 00:10:55,060 --> 00:10:58,780 The scale of the disaster, the numbers of persons affected,   141 00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:02,260 the type damage, are roads accessible, is shelter needed,   142 00:11:02,260 --> 00:11:05,540 what quantity, what are the relief needs,   143 00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:08,440 what is available locally for use,   144 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,860 what are the local structures or the infrastructures   145 00:11:11,860 --> 00:11:15,740 that can administer aid, what tonnage of food or other items   146 00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:19,380 can be handled effectively, what type of transport   147 00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:23,260 is available locally, what is needed from the outside,   148 00:11:23,260 --> 00:11:26,480 What ports of entry are to be used for shipments?   149 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,820 What ports are damaged or unusable?   150 00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:32,700 Is duty-free entry guaranteed for shipments of food   151 00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,720 as well as other supplies?   152 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,300 Shipping information is needed.   153 00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:39,820 What types of markings are to go on the foods, medicines,   154 00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:42,080 and other supplies that are shipped?   155 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,340 How does one communicate?   156 00:11:43,340 --> 00:11:45,180 Is telephone available?   157 00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:48,220 If not, what arrangements for shortwave radio?   158 00:11:48,220 --> 00:11:50,220 Is it possible to use a telex?   159 00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:51,100 Is that functioning?   160 00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:55,200 If so, what hours of the day is a telex open?   161 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,920 Is there a need of additional staff   162 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,280 to assist during these immediate days following a disaster?   163 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,000 If funds are to be sent, what is the best channel   164 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,680 for transmittal?   165 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,160 The list may be formidable or may sound formidable,   166 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,320 but experienced personnel in disaster aid   167 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,580 can gather that type of information within hours   168 00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:18,640 and thereby lay the basis for a program that   169 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:24,480 avoid waste and reach the victims in the most expeditious manner.   170 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:31,360 One case study might help to demonstrate what steps are taken in a concrete situation.   171 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,640 I refer to the Guatemala earthquake on February 4.   172 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:42,240 When the executives of Catholic Relief Services received the radio report of the earthquake,   173 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:49,080 The following steps were taken even before contact was made or able to be made with the   174 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,840 CRS Director in Guatemala. All CRS departments and offices were put on the alert and took   175 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:02,580 preparatory action in accordance with pre-disaster planning. The Program and Supply Department   176 00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:10,000 identified all ships at sea on the way to Guatemala and to nearby countries. It checked   177 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,960 on all shipments and supplies at or near Gulf ports. All shipments were checked as to the   178 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:22,800 types and quantities of foods and other commodities that were in those shipments. The New York   179 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:29,540 CRS Warehouse and Processing Center went on standby to prepare to move certain types of   180 00:13:29,540 --> 00:13:34,560 reserve stocks that are standard requirements and that are always kept in reserve in the   181 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:39,440 the warehouse, Jeep-type wagons, water purification tablets,   182 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,760 vitamins, blankets, immunization guns, communications equipment,   183 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,160 tools, and so on.   184 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,600 Thirdly, the purchasing department was alerted to be prepared   185 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,920 to buy replacements for the items that might be used   186 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,560 or placed on standby order.   187 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:59,200 The freight forwarder was advised to arrange   188 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,040 for a standby charter plane that was to be flown as soon   189 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,720 his word were received confirming the requirements in Guatemala.   190 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,920 The Central America staff of Catholic Relief Services called all of its program directors   191 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:20,640 in the countries adjacent to Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, etc., to determine   192 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,440 what stocks of food they had on hand for movement over land to Guatemala.   193 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,580 The CRS staff was put on notice to be prepared to go to   194 00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:33,040 Guatemala if needed.   195 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,820 The Program and Supply Department reached the United States   196 00:14:35,820 --> 00:14:39,560 Government's Disaster Aid Office to determine what reports they   197 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,420 had of the extent of damage and what plans they had for food or   198 00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:46,540 for other types of help.   199 00:14:46,540 --> 00:14:51,420 The CRS Information Office prepared to receive a deluge of   200 00:14:51,420 --> 00:14:55,380 telephone calls asking for information about the earthquake   201 00:14:55,380 --> 00:15:01,520 Incidentally, there were at least 10 or 12 secretaries who took a constant flow of telephone   202 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,340 calls from people for the first week or two after that disaster.   203 00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:13,160 The CRS office in Geneva, which maintains contacts with a number of funding agencies,   204 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,260 was alerted to standby for appeals for help.   205 00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:21,160 They too got in touch with the UN Disaster Office, the International Red Cross, and the   206 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:26,640 other voluntary agencies in order to coordinate with their efforts, both governmental and   207 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,020 private. And here, of course, is a very important matter of coordination with everybody else   208 00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:36,400 who is involved in disaster aid so as to avoid duplication and overlapping.   209 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:44,160 While all of this activity was going on, contact was being made with the CRS Director in Guatemala   210 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:50,580 for an on-the-spot report, and this was done by HAM Radio. And thank God for these HAM   211 00:15:50,580 --> 00:15:54,700 radio operators because they are the ones who frequently are the first ones who make   212 00:15:54,700 --> 00:16:00,580 contact with us and let us know and give us the facts because ordinary communications   213 00:16:00,580 --> 00:16:02,380 are cut out.   214 00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:08,220 The first reports from all sources showed a lack of information as to the true extent   215 00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:13,700 of the loss of life and the destruction of homes, the displacement of people because   216 00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:19,300 of the disruption of communications and the distance from the capital city.   217 00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:25,380 Information became available, however, to enable the agency within 24 hours to have   218 00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:31,580 a shipment on the way, a chartered plane, and to divert food shipments that were at   219 00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:37,940 sea to reach contingency ports because some of the normal ports were disrupted.   220 00:16:37,940 --> 00:16:42,620 Short wave contact was maintained several times each day in order to keep abreast of   221 00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:43,620 the needs.   222 00:16:43,620 --> 00:16:48,340 And here again we have to bring out the fact that the situation and disaster changes from   223 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:53,500 day to day to day because, as I mentioned before, the early outpouring of supplies and   224 00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:59,260 equipment keeps coming in and frequently the supplies arrive and they just pile up and   225 00:16:59,260 --> 00:17:01,220 there's no means to handle them.   226 00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:07,540 The local Catholic agency, the Catholic Charities, called Caritas of Guatemala, recruited a large   227 00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:13,100 number of volunteers to help with the emergency and they assisted in the distribution of food   228 00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:15,180 and other necessities.   229 00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:21,660 This eliminated the need for any outside help except for specialized persons.   230 00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:26,040 Because of the fact that Caritas had been handling food for a number of years, it had   231 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:32,540 experienced personnel, and they were both at the diocesan and at the parish level.   232 00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:37,540 They were familiar with the types of food that CRS provided and also with the food-eating   233 00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:42,600 habits of the Indian culture, which was very important in this particular case to know   234 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,880 what types of food were acceptable to this particular culture.   235 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:54,720 As noted earlier, each disaster brings with it its own problems and a need to adapt. In   236 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,360 some cases, there will be a distribution of food raw and uncooked for the people to prepare   237 00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:05,440 themselves if they have facilities. In other cases, such as the Bengali refugee influx   238 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:11,560 into India, the Caritas agencies, the religious and others baked thousands of loaves of bread   239 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,040 each day and distribute them through a variety of church groups and local agencies. In other   240 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:23,520 cases, feeding stations are set up. Food is prepared and given out for immediate use,   241 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,540 sometimes right on the spot or sometimes to be carried home. This was the case recently   242 00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:34,000 in an earthquake in northern Italy. Monsignor Harnett, Monsignor Landy, Monsignor Bottas   243 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,600 and I all went up and saw this in action.   244 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,180 During the Philippine floods, and I must say that in the   245 00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:44,780 Philippines they have one of the best pre-disaster planning   246 00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:48,180 organizations of all, during the Philippine floods and   247 00:18:48,180 --> 00:18:52,500 typhoons, the CRS office out there, in cooperation with local   248 00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:58,100 agencies, baked daily literally thousands of a small loaf   249 00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:03,060 called a nutribun. It is a calorie-packed meal in itself, and   250 00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:06,480 these are distributed and flown or even dropped by helicopter   251 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,840 in certain cases. Hundreds of thousands of tons of food have   252 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,960 been distributed by CRS and its partner agencies over the past   253 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,480 years to victims of the drought in Africa, the floods in   254 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,960 Bangladesh, and the droughts in Indian Bangladesh. In all   255 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,680 cases, the agency tries to terminate the emergency handout   256 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,260 distribution as soon as feasible and go into a food-for-work   257 00:19:32,260 --> 00:19:36,560 type of program and to begin a rehabilitation program.   258 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,300 In these programs, the recipients,   259 00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:42,560 as Bishop D'Souza mentioned, are paid for their work,   260 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,800 and the food for work is a general part of the use   261 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,460 of American foodstuffs overseas.   262 00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:52,260 The money for all this comes from the very wonderful,   263 00:19:52,260 --> 00:19:56,400 generous people of our country, as was mentioned earlier   264 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,700 by Bishop O'Meara.   265 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,500 The basic budget for Catholic Relief Services   266 00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:05,980 provides the basic support that keeps the organization,   267 00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:07,940 the structure, overseas.   268 00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:11,100 But in many cases, there is a special collection.   269 00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,700 The collection for Guatemala, for example,   270 00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:17,180 has brought in a remarkable $6.5 million   271 00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:19,540 so that the agency can really bring effective help   272 00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:21,720 to the Catholic Church in Guatemala   273 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,260 in trying to help to rehabilitate its people.   274 00:20:25,260 --> 00:20:27,580 There are also other sources of funds.   275 00:20:27,580 --> 00:20:29,260 The United States government frequently   276 00:20:29,260 --> 00:20:33,260 has funds made available through its disaster aid office.   277 00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:36,840 And as was mentioned earlier, these wonderful agencies   278 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,060 in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand   279 00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:42,300 are very prompt with their help through Catholic Relief   280 00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:45,220 Services or through the other local church structures   281 00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:46,820 that are on the spot.   282 00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:51,020 The German Caritas has one man full time just concerned   283 00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:53,420 with disasters and emergencies.   284 00:20:53,420 --> 00:20:57,740 And he, like many others, go immediately to the disaster   285 00:20:57,740 --> 00:21:01,100 area to give a report back.   286 00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:03,620 The coordination of Catholic efforts   287 00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:06,060 in the field of emergencies is effected   288 00:21:06,060 --> 00:21:09,060 at the international level through a special office   289 00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:12,740 of the Holy See, the Pontifical Council Corunum.   290 00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:16,540 Our Holy Father set up Corunum about five years ago   291 00:21:16,540 --> 00:21:19,700 so that it would be his office, his eyes and his ears,   292 00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:21,500 for coordinating all of the work of church   293 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:25,940 around the world in disaster aid and in refugee aid   294 00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:27,720 and in development work.   295 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,440 And that office now is at the point   296 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,840 where it has information right at its own fingertips   297 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,640 about what agency in what country   298 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,480 can carry out an effective program of emergency aid.   299 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,080 Among the Catholic agencies, the International Caritas,   300 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,760 or International Conference of Catholic Charities,   301 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,800 which is a federation of 95 national Catholic agencies,   302 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,200 has an emergency aid office which immediately sends   303 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,800 information to all of its member agencies   304 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,440 and frequently obtains funds and resources   305 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,760 to be channeled to its members.   306 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,680 And incidentally, we are all tied together   307 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,500 by a telex network so that we have instantaneous communication   308 00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:10,900 with each other so that we know what each other is doing.   309 00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:13,240 In recent years, there has been much progress   310 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,960 in handling disaster aid and emergency feeding programs.   311 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,480 But there is still much room for improvement in emergency   312 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,600 feeding and disaster aid.   313 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,020 Coronam has been urging every bishops' conference   314 00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:28,540 to designate one agency that will   315 00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:32,840 be the point of contact at the time of an emergency,   316 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,340 likewise to have a standby disaster aid setup, which   317 00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:40,540 can be set into motion in times of disaster.   318 00:22:40,540 --> 00:22:42,940 Some countries have such an agency.   319 00:22:42,940 --> 00:22:44,620 Many do not.   320 00:22:44,620 --> 00:22:47,020 Since the United Nations and the Red Cross   321 00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:51,700 are also promoting national pre-disaster planning,   322 00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:56,160 It is essential that the Church agencies play a true role   323 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,800 in the pre-planning and the execution of disaster plans.   324 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,800 Thank you.   325 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:18,360 Thank you, Mr. Norris, for that marvelous insight   326 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:23,360 within a very rigid time frame into what is done   327 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:27,280 for relief of disasters all over the world.   328 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,200 I think a slogan that may appeal to all of us is,   329 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,500 if you can't do a lot, do a little.   330 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,040 I would like to present Monsignor Call   331 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,720 as one who has done a great deal   332 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,000 to make possible direct assistance   333 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000 through this wonderfully ingenious plan   334 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,300 called Operation Rice Bowl.   335 00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:58,620 When it was first presented to the Eucharistic Congress   336 00:23:58,620 --> 00:24:02,420 Social Concerns Committee, Father Edward Brady said,   337 00:24:02,420 --> 00:24:06,860 it is a plan that has the simplicity of genius.   338 00:24:06,860 --> 00:24:09,060 Father Cole, Monsignor Cole.   339 00:24:09,060 --> 00:24:37,160 I'm here to ask your help.   340 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:48,300 your help in two specific fields.   341 00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:57,860 If Christ's presence in the Eucharist means anything, if it is capable of anything, then   342 00:24:57,860 --> 00:25:14,420 it should enable us to share our bread.   343 00:25:14,420 --> 00:25:20,740 Imagine the genius of Christ made himself into bread.   344 00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:28,740 He certainly must have had something in mind.   345 00:25:28,740 --> 00:25:40,880 And now we have an opportunity to give him back through the instrument of bread.   346 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:49,460 What we ask you to do is to stimulate within this Congress a willingness that the Catholic   347 00:25:49,460 --> 00:25:58,220 hierarchy, that the Catholic spiritual leadership, through its priests and   348 00:25:58,220 --> 00:26:06,380 sisters and brothers, and above all through its laity, will from this   349 00:26:06,380 --> 00:26:21,740 Congress develop a policy toward food sharing. One, a policy which says to our   350 00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:29,120 government that food is not to be used as weaponry. That food is not to be used   351 00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:39,800 as a tool of the economic process to stabilize our economy. That's our policy.   352 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:45,880 Bottom line. And you can do it. You can do it through your involvement, through   353 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:52,920 your interest, through your bringing it up upon the floor, through the writing of   354 00:26:52,920 --> 00:27:05,440 letters to both your pastors, your bishops, your institutions of learning, and above all   355 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:13,240 to your governmental representatives.   356 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:25,320 Once the 41st International Eucharistic Congress has stated its policy toward food and hunger,   357 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:37,540 it should develop a unified program.   358 00:27:37,540 --> 00:27:52,540 This program should be a teaching, spiritual experience of sacrifice, prayer and sharing,   359 00:27:52,540 --> 00:28:04,580 so that we begin to develop a new generation, a new breed of cat, who is willing to take   360 00:28:04,580 --> 00:28:16,420 what he has and say, brother you have no food I have some have some of mine.   361 00:28:16,420 --> 00:28:26,660 This program is to emphasize the fact that we are living in a limited world with limited   362 00:28:26,660 --> 00:28:30,580 natural resources.   363 00:28:30,580 --> 00:28:39,740 This program should dramatize the fact that surviving demands sharing.   364 00:28:39,740 --> 00:28:46,260 This is the end of EC 104, panel A in the Hunger Symposium, People Helping People.   365 00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:52,340 The conclusion of the panel will be found on tape EC 105.   366 00:28:52,340 --> 00:29:05,540 Recognize the fact that there are hungers which are material on the one hand and spiritual   367 00:29:05,540 --> 00:29:06,220 on the other.   </div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,500 This program should emphasize the fact that less is more. 2 00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:23,560 And this program should, in the fourth stage, recognize the fact that there are hungers 3 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:34,400 which are material on the one hand and spiritual on the other. 4 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:42,480 Thus it is that we address ourselves to a spiritual program of implementing a material 5 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,600 policy. 6 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:56,580 Thus it is that we address ourselves not to the physical church but to the home. 7 00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:03,200 Thus it is that we address ourselves to the Father and say, Father of Family, you are 8 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,420 spiritual leader. 9 00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:11,160 You are Abba Father. 10 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:22,000 What is the embarrassment of praying with your wife and children? 11 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:32,620 It is embarrassing because we have not exercised it in too many instances and years. 12 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:40,840 So we must make of the dining room table an altar. 13 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:50,560 And we must have Jesus Christ present at our table through prayer, through the image of 14 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Father and Mother sharing. 15 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:07,140 We must return to a fasting experience so that our program will give witness to our 16 00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:10,120 policy. 17 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:20,520 We must discipline self for others. 18 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:32,800 Once we have experienced the discomfort, the nuisance of hunger, then perhaps we can appreciate 19 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:43,080 our brother who has little or nothing to eat. 20 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:55,680 And so, because we are a material people, the spiritual has slipped away from us. 21 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:14,560 We must return our people to a spiritual program which sees Jesus Christ beyond the sea. 22 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:26,620 As to the material aspects of hunger, people who are stripped of the material must totally 23 00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:33,000 rely on the spiritual for their survival. 24 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:44,800 And so they survive in patience and in faith and in a kind of cooperation and sharing with 25 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:54,600 each other that we have never known. 26 00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:07,840 However, they need our matter, but not in a way that will reduce them, but in a way 27 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,880 that will uplift them. 28 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:18,120 And so, they need our food, our basic rights. 29 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:29,120 They need nutritional education, they need agricultural development, and they need industrial 30 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,720 development. 31 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:46,920 All these we have and can share with them, provided we accept their spiritual life and 32 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:59,520 and are willing to be patient, to share, and to spend our days in prayer. 33 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:12,280 If I may again, policy on a church level and on a governmental level, and thirdly on a 34 00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,020 home level. 35 00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:25,540 the program of prayer, fasting, and sharing, a program which develops and satisfies the 36 00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:35,740 spiritual hungers that our world is experiencing, and then turns around and satisfies the material 37 00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:44,520 hungers that our brother's world is experiencing. 38 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:57,660 And then the 41st Eucharistic Congress will not have been an event but a way of life. 39 00:05:57,660 --> 00:05:58,160 Thank you. 40 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,760 Thank you, Monsignor Call, for that stirring call to action. 41 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,220 Action has indeed begun on the archdiocesan level, 42 00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:29,520 and I proudly present Mrs. Diane Miller, who 43 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,220 has done such wonderful work in the food coordination program. 44 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,860 Thank you, sister. 45 00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:48,000 And you were accurate with your introduction as sister 46 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,920 because we're all sisters in Christ. 47 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,460 I would like to take, 48 00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:56,700 I would like to thank the Eucharistic Congress 49 00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,340 for providing me the opportunity 50 00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:00,840 to address the problem of local hunger. 51 00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:05,140 A key part of the problem is lack of communication 52 00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:08,180 between people who are relatively prosperous 53 00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:10,020 and their lack of appreciation 54 00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:12,580 for their unfortunate neighbors. 55 00:07:12,580 --> 00:07:15,980 Opportunities such as this Congress are positive steps 56 00:07:15,980 --> 00:07:19,120 towards better understanding, which is the first step 57 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,300 toward solving the problem of hunger. 58 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,500 Those of us who have visited the third world countries 59 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:30,160 have seen firsthand, for example, in the slums of Calcutta, 60 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,900 malnutrition is a fact of life, of such scope 61 00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:37,080 that it is evident for all to see. 62 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,980 No one there has to be convinced that hunger exists. 63 00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:44,560 Here in Philadelphia, on the other hand, 64 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,880 hunger is not as apparent, and it becomes one of our goals 65 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,780 to make people aware that it does exist. 66 00:07:52,780 --> 00:07:55,480 I can personally testify to this fact, 67 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,100 because shortly before I accepted the challenge 68 00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,840 as director of the Community Food Distribution Program, 69 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,000 an emergency aid service whose goal it is to supply food 70 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440 to people who find themselves in temporary need, 71 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,840 I did not believe that there were hungry people 72 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,760 in Philadelphia, let alone within a mile or two 73 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,800 of my own house. 74 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,320 I was amazed and shocked when I found out 75 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,140 what my predecessors in the program already knew. 76 00:08:25,140 --> 00:08:27,960 The desperation in the eyes of parents 77 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,040 who can't afford to buy food for their children is tragic. 78 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,960 The senior citizen who invites you into their home 79 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,740 and offers you ice water from an empty refrigerator 80 00:08:37,740 --> 00:08:41,020 because their social security check is late 81 00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:44,060 is indeed a sad connotation. 82 00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:46,260 The Cardinals Commission on Human Relations 83 00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:48,380 was founded by John Cardinal Kroll 84 00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:50,540 to meet the needs of people. 85 00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:52,580 The commission has established programs 86 00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:55,460 which deal with various aspects of the community, 87 00:08:55,460 --> 00:09:00,420 including housing, unemployment, ecumenism, and hunger. 88 00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:03,660 In order to understand the concept of local emergency 89 00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:07,440 feeding, we must first realize that federal and state 90 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,920 governments are attuned to what are termed natural disasters, 91 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,640 such as Mr. Norris was speaking of earlier. 92 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,000 Floods, fire, and earthquake, because it is understood 93 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,200 that these tragedies leave people suddenly homeless 94 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,560 and without the ability to feed and care for themselves 95 00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:26,360 and their families. 96 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,360 It is surprising to find that neither public funds or agencies 97 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,640 cover personal family tragedies, which also take 98 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,160 their toll in grief and despair. 99 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,800 These tragedies may be as small as a row home fire 100 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,320 or the loss of a social security check for a senior citizen 101 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,280 that leaves a person homeless or without food. 102 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,880 To the individual, however, it is a personal disaster. 103 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,720 In addition to sudden disasters, a large measure 104 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,040 of the problem of local hunger stems from the fact 105 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,320 that some people cannot cope with our fast-moving 106 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,580 and complicated world. 107 00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:09,740 In these cases, it is mostly the very young 108 00:10:09,740 --> 00:10:12,200 or the very old which go hungry, 109 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,420 since they are least able to help themselves. 110 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,520 The Delaware Valley is inundated 111 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,880 with social welfare programs, 112 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400 which are working hard to combat the problems 113 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,900 of poverty, unemployment, education, housing, 114 00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:31,240 inflation, and government bureaucracy. 115 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,720 But too often, even these well-intentioned social programs 116 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,880 forget that while long-term plans and solutions are being 117 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,240 sought, there are emergency needs which must be met. 118 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,480 In the interim, the hungry must eat. 119 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,840 The magnitude of hunger and malnutrition in the five-county 120 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,360 Delaware Valley area are very real and adversely affect 121 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,240 thousands of people every day. 122 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,340 In Philadelphia, well over 15,000 identifiable people 123 00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:05,840 need emergency food every month from two to five days 124 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,720 because of a family crisis. 125 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,000 No one large agency or governmental body 126 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,040 provides for these emergency needs 127 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,200 because they are not termed natural disasters, 128 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,440 nor do they qualify under the umbrella of government public 129 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,600 assistance programs. 130 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,880 The purpose of the local emergency feeding program 131 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,340 is to respond to these people who need food. 132 00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:34,360 What causes the need for emergency food? 133 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,360 To cite a few examples, it can take up 134 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,600 to three weeks for an unemployment check 135 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,840 to be processed, and many families 136 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,920 do not have a reserve of groceries. 137 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920 If a Social Security check is lost or stolen, 138 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,560 it may take several weeks to replace it, 139 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:53,120 leaving a senior citizen not only without food, 140 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,120 but often the means to obtain it if they are housebound. 141 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,760 Or a pregnant mother not able to work 142 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,360 has no way to purchase quality food. 143 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,080 The Community Food Distribution Centers Program, 144 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,760 working through its 28 volunteer-manned emergency 145 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,200 feeding centers, has found itself 146 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,840 taking responsibility for this gap in services. 147 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,400 It serves all people, the criteria being need. 148 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040 It's interesting to note that we as American citizens 149 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,640 spend some $9 billion a year through our tax dollars 150 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,760 to feed people through federally funded feeding programs. 151 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,980 Yet there are thousands of children 152 00:12:33,980 --> 00:12:35,960 in the city of Philadelphia who are medically 153 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,480 defined as malnourished. 154 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,300 Why, I ask you, in an area where there are so many resources 155 00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:47,000 to draw upon, should we have hungry people? 156 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,920 Mother Teresa has said that we are actually 157 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,880 touching Christ's body in the poor. 158 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,600 In the poor, it is the hungry Christ that we are feeding. 159 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,200 But beyond that, economically, our society 160 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,280 is doing itself a disservice by allowing underdevelopment 161 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,840 through malnutrition of young minds to remain in that state, 162 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,400 thus hindering them from the opportunity 163 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,640 to learn and become gainfully employed. 164 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640 It has been medically shown that the most crucial time 165 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400 for proper nutrition for brain development 166 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240 is from the time a woman conceives a baby 167 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480 up to the child's fifth year. 168 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,560 The brain reaches 90% of its growth during this period. 169 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,260 Malnutrition during this critical time of life 170 00:13:32,260 --> 00:13:35,320 will be reflected in academic and productivity 171 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,600 later in life. 172 00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:41,700 Critics of emergency feeding programs should remember 173 00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,300 that while they are pontificating and devising 174 00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:48,220 these long-range solutions, the hungry must be fed. 175 00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:50,980 Whatsoever you do to the least of my brother, 176 00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:53,220 that you do unto me. 177 00:13:53,220 --> 00:13:56,080 The Judeo-Christian communities can have a tremendous 178 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,100 impact toward alleviating starvation and malnutrition 179 00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:04,800 because hunger cuts across all religious persuasions. 180 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,500 It can be a rallying point for concerned religious 181 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:09,340 communities to work together. 182 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,020 American Christian communities have contributed 183 00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:16,700 most generously over the years to help the starving abroad, 184 00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,420 as well as our local hungry. 185 00:14:19,420 --> 00:14:20,940 Through the caring and sharing 186 00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:23,980 with their less fortunate sisters and brothers, 187 00:14:23,980 --> 00:14:26,500 the parishes of the Philadelphia Archdiocese 188 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,380 and concerned businesses generally contributed 189 00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:32,700 tons of canned food to fill the gap. 190 00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:36,360 But we firmly believe that social accomplishments 191 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,380 don't end with the donations. 192 00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:41,420 By contributing cans of food 193 00:14:41,420 --> 00:14:43,580 and delivering them to the poor, 194 00:14:43,580 --> 00:14:47,280 a sensitization to the problem is also accomplished. 195 00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:51,100 The ultimate goal of emergency feeding programs 196 00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:55,660 as I see them is to move from charity to justice, 197 00:14:55,660 --> 00:14:59,520 identifying and feeding the people truly in need. 198 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,620 Once again, I quote from Mother Teresa when she said, 199 00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:06,380 "'I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion 200 00:15:06,380 --> 00:15:10,820 "'than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.'" 201 00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:15,380 However, simply supplying emergency food is not enough. 202 00:15:15,380 --> 00:15:19,340 If we truly want to help people to help themselves, 203 00:15:19,340 --> 00:15:21,820 we must give them the tools to learn 204 00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:24,700 and work their way out of the morass of poverty. 205 00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:27,380 As a Catholic community, 206 00:15:27,380 --> 00:15:30,460 we firmly believe in the right to life. 207 00:15:30,460 --> 00:15:32,660 Why then do some of us have difficulty 208 00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:35,160 believing in the right to food? 209 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,820 Because without food, there is no life. 210 00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:42,100 We should be fighting for the total upgrading 211 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,100 of the quality of life. 212 00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:47,100 The energy spent in legislation to save lives 213 00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:50,020 should be combined with food legislation. 214 00:15:50,020 --> 00:15:53,100 I'm sure many hungry people have asked the question, 215 00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:55,220 why was I ever born? 216 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:58,000 As they anguish in their suffering. 217 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,420 We as a human moral community 218 00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:03,300 could greatly improve their plight. 219 00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:07,840 To create change, we have to work three ways simultaneously, 220 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,520 both in the third world as well as at home. 221 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360 First, we must feed hungry people 222 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,120 through emergency feeding programs. 223 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,280 We are our brother's keeper and the hungry must be fed. 224 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,880 The planners of this Eucharistic Congress 225 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,560 place the hunger of the body first 226 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,760 before the other hungers 227 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,560 as the conference will go along this week. 228 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,920 Second, we must educate people 229 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,240 and help them to help themselves 230 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,740 In the third world, greater emphasis should be stressed 231 00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:41,320 on development through agriculture, medicine, 232 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,280 reading, and job skills. 233 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,960 A realistic distribution system is badly needed. 234 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,920 In America, nutrition education, 235 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,960 especially on the grassroots level in impoverished areas 236 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,480 and in the schools, and in the schools. 237 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,360 Our program has piloted a community nutrition 238 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,040 education training program, 239 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,040 patterned after the Barefoot Doctors in China concept. 240 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,520 Third, we must move ahead with legislative action 241 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,600 from the local, state, national, and international level. 242 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,240 We have to get serious about eradicating 243 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,440 the hellish cycle of poverty. 244 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,640 We must begin to make our legislators 245 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,040 and our national leaders accountable to us. 246 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,460 We should always be moving toward justice for all. 247 00:17:30,460 --> 00:17:34,040 It is easy to become overwhelmed by the magnitude 248 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080 of the problem of hunger, but I firmly 249 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,160 believe that the problem will ultimately 250 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,960 be solved on a one-to-one basis, little people doing 251 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,600 little things to help little people. 252 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,320 And consider for a moment how many little people 253 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080 there are in our world. 254 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,000 In conclusion, I would like to say 255 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,960 that hunger is a physical sensation learned 256 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,400 at earliest infancy. 257 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,140 It is a common denominator amongst all mankind. 258 00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:06,900 It transcends ethnic groups, racial groups, 259 00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:10,900 age groups, national groups, the rich and poor, 260 00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:15,220 and people of all political and religious persuasions. 261 00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:19,580 Few other common traits are found among the human race. 262 00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:22,820 It presents to us an ideal vehicle and tool 263 00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:27,140 for people to come together and focus on a common goal. 264 00:18:27,140 --> 00:18:30,660 It is through Almighty God and this vehicle 265 00:18:30,660 --> 00:18:32,920 that we will begin to listen, 266 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,720 to hear the voices of the poor. 267 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,320 And through God's love in action, 268 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,900 begin to give power to the powerless 269 00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:43,260 in the true spirit of his love. 270 00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:44,420 Thank you. 271 00:18:46,700 --> 00:19:11,620 I invite Father Doheny to describe the marvelous work he has been doing in Bangladesh. 272 00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:13,940 Thank you, my dear friends. 273 00:19:13,940 --> 00:19:19,140 I feel very honored to be invited to address you here, 274 00:19:19,140 --> 00:19:22,300 a simple missionary priest. 275 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:24,660 I saw so many cardinals and bishops yesterday, 276 00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:28,260 I wondered how I would raise my head at all. 277 00:19:28,260 --> 00:19:31,380 But anyway, here I am. 278 00:19:31,380 --> 00:19:33,660 Anyway, an Irishman, I'm sure, should feel very much 279 00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:35,220 at home in Philadelphia. 280 00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:43,980 We had an old song, you know, with my bundle on my shoulder, 281 00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:46,420 sure I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning. 282 00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:51,020 And I think there's a play written recently called 283 00:19:51,020 --> 00:19:53,620 Philadelphia, Here I Come. 284 00:19:53,620 --> 00:19:55,920 So I'm here. 285 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,420 Now, I'm a field man. 286 00:19:59,420 --> 00:20:05,900 Since 1968, I have been in disaster areas 287 00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:10,420 where there have been very severe hunger crises. 288 00:20:10,420 --> 00:20:14,060 First of all, in Nigeria, on both sides of the conflict 289 00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:21,380 during the Civil War of 68 to 70, then in Ethiopia in 73, 290 00:20:21,380 --> 00:20:26,300 then in India and Bangladesh in 71 up to the present, 291 00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:29,600 and in the Yemen Arab Republic. 292 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,640 And what I want to do is to share some of my experiences 293 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,640 with you. 294 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,760 It's a long time ago since Isaiah wrote these words. 295 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,680 If you pour yourself out for the hungry 296 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,840 and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, 297 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,320 then shall your light rise in the darkness 298 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,800 and your gloom shall be as the noon day. 299 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,000 And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your 300 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,920 desire with good things and make your bones strong. 301 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,240 And you shall be like a watered garden and a spring of 302 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,520 water whose waters fail not." 303 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,280 Words inspired by the Holy Spirit, and therefore, I 304 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,560 presume, they mean what they say. 305 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,160 And what I would like to say to you is how at least some of 306 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,880 those words have been realized for those of us who have tried 307 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:35,280 to do just that, to pour out ourselves for the hungry 308 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,480 and how perhaps we hope and pray that the rest of those words 309 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,920 will be fulfilled for us. 310 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,840 It was in 1968 that we first became 311 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,620 involved in helping the starving people 312 00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:54,340 in the Nigerian Civil War. 313 00:21:57,220 --> 00:22:03,260 And for me, this was an eye opener in the Emao sense. 314 00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:06,040 You remember that the apostles, when 315 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:13,060 they broke bread with a stranger, recognized Christ. 316 00:22:13,060 --> 00:22:19,260 And it was by breaking the bread with these hungry people 317 00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:25,260 that I came to find Christ, but not only to find Christ, 318 00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:29,220 but to find my fellow Christians. 319 00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:31,580 Because the operation which was mounted 320 00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:35,500 to help the starving in that civil war 321 00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,940 was one which brought all Christians together. 322 00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:42,820 Jim Norris has told you something about it. 323 00:22:42,820 --> 00:22:45,020 And I remember it was in Trinity College, Dublin, 324 00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:48,660 when we got together for the first time, missionaries 325 00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:51,740 of all denominations to try and come to the aid of those people 326 00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:54,700 that my eyes were first opened. 327 00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:59,620 And I realized that those missionaries, Protestants 328 00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:02,780 of all kinds, and some who didn't 329 00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:05,820 seem to have any particular faith at all, 330 00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:08,380 how we all shared the same thing, 331 00:23:08,380 --> 00:23:12,220 how we all shared a love for the hungry, 332 00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:17,500 how we all shared a desire to help those who were in need. 333 00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:21,580 Now, the process that takes place between the moment when 334 00:23:21,580 --> 00:23:27,140 you or anybody else gives something for those who are 335 00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:31,860 hungry in a distant country and the moment when that food 336 00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:36,660 enters into the mouths of those people is a long process. 337 00:23:36,660 --> 00:23:43,820 It involves collection, transformation into food, 338 00:23:43,820 --> 00:23:48,520 distribution, and then the actual feeding process. 339 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,240 And it brings a whole lot of people together. 340 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,680 And certainly, the Nigerian Civil War did that. 341 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,360 Not only had you the missionaries, 342 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:06,200 you had politicians, diplomats, relief workers, airmen, 343 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,320 journalists, TV reporters. 344 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,500 And we all got together very closely. 345 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:15,120 And some, not all in the beginning, 346 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,660 were dedicated to this. 347 00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:21,740 Some of them came in just for the money that was in it. 348 00:24:21,740 --> 00:24:27,980 But many who came to mock remained to pray. 349 00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:33,380 And so that developed a fellowship between us all. 350 00:24:33,380 --> 00:24:37,100 And for me, it was the great ecumenical experience 351 00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:37,860 of my life. 352 00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:52,760 The cry of a hungry child is a terrible experience to listen to. 353 00:24:52,760 --> 00:25:00,980 But when the crying ceases, the silence that ensues is more shattering to those who know 354 00:25:00,980 --> 00:25:03,840 and understand. 355 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,780 The moment when the child no longer cries is the worst moment of all, because the child 356 00:25:10,780 --> 00:25:17,120 has no longer desire to live, has no longer any interest 357 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:17,920 in anything. 358 00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:28,660 And I can remember in 1974 at a place called Khorigram, 359 00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:36,080 one of the worst affected areas in Bangladesh from those floods, 360 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,760 seeing a line of children sitting on the ground. 361 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,720 And their heads were down, bowed. 362 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,120 And I went along with my camera. 363 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,960 Normally, children will get up, and they'll 364 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,080 begin to crowd around you. 365 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,400 They'll begin to get excited. 366 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,400 They'll begin to pose even for you. 367 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,760 But not a head was raised. 368 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,240 There was no sign of life. 369 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,000 there was no sign of recognition. 370 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,160 And I remember trying all my best by smiles and cajolery 371 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:18,040 and every possible way to get one little girl to smile. 372 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,040 And there was no response. 373 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,560 And finally, one of the others, who was a little bit better, 374 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,080 went and physically raised her head. 375 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,240 And I looked in to the saddest eyes 376 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280 I have ever seen in my life. 377 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:43,080 And when you face that situation day after day, 378 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:49,200 when there is a crisis of hunger in any part of the world, 379 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,760 it unites you with everybody else 380 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,680 who is involved in trying to alleviate that hunger. 381 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:06,920 My second experience was in Asia, in India, 382 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,120 when 10 million refugees crossed the frontiers of India 383 00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:20,300 from East Bengal during the 1971 crisis. 384 00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:22,540 And I worked in Salt Lake Camp in Calcutta 385 00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:26,100 where there were a quarter of a million refugees. 386 00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:31,560 And that was a most extraordinary operation. 387 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,300 Bishop de Souza is here. 388 00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:34,780 He knows more about it than I do. 389 00:27:34,780 --> 00:27:38,060 But for me it was an extraordinary experience. 390 00:27:38,060 --> 00:27:43,660 Because the whole Church of India was mobilized to meet that situation. 391 00:27:43,660 --> 00:27:50,760 And Caritas India, helped by Catholic Relief Services, had a hospital in Salt Lake Camp, 392 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,500 and they were doing feeding programs as well. 393 00:27:53,500 --> 00:28:03,260 And all the young people of India, the novices, the young religious, the young seminarians, 394 00:28:03,260 --> 00:28:07,080 volunteered to come and help in that situation. 395 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,540 And I found myself walking side by side with them. 396 00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:23,420 And I remember well, one night, deep into the night, when we used to talk about things, 397 00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:30,540 to one of these young seminarians, and I must have sounded a little bit patronizing, I said 398 00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:39,500 I was amazed at the caliber of the young people that were helping in that situation. 399 00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:44,460 And he stood back and he looked at me and he said, we Indians were Christians before 400 00:28:44,460 --> 00:28:51,840 you Irish. 401 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:58,240 And he was right, because St. Thomas went there, I think, Bishop, quite a long time 402 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:04,380 before St. Patrick got to Ireland. 403 00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:06,020 This is the end of side one. 404 00:29:06,020 --> 00:29:08,300 To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" strong="">Side 2 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,280 And I've often wondered since, and I've never been able to go back and find out the situation,   2 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,960 what impact that getting together of all those young people must have had on the church in   3 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,960 India.   4 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:28,560 But it could not but be salutary if the prophecy of Isaiah is true, and it must be true.   5 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,740 Then I went to Bangladesh with the refugees when they returned, and this was the supreme   6 00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:34,740 experience.   7 00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:42,480 I had learned in Calcutta the truth of what Bishop O'Mara said in his talk today, that   8 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:49,740 feeding the hungry is part of the Christian mission without any ulterior motive.   9 00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:57,620 After all, Christ said, gave us the test, if we fed the hungry and clothed the naked   10 00:00:57,620 --> 00:01:00,320 and visited those in prison.   11 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,960 And there I learned in Calcutta that when you see a person   12 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,540 in need, you don't ask any questions.   13 00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:14,500 Who he is, where he comes from, what color he is,   14 00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,340 what religion he belongs to.   15 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:24,780 You hold out your hand and meet him as a brother,   16 00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:29,280 as a child of God, just like yourself.   17 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,780 And when we went to Bangladesh, which is a predominantly Muslim   18 00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:42,400 country, and we started to feed the hungry there,   19 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,060 we didn't ask any questions.   20 00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:47,920 We didn't wave any flags.   21 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,560 We didn't use any slogans.   22 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,120 We didn't preach anything.   23 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:05,800 We just took them as our brother who was hungry, and we fed him.   24 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,920 I would like to believe that that fulfills   25 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,240 my missionary vocation.   26 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:25,420 vocation. We fed him because Christ told us to feed him.   27 00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:29,580 Therefore, we were making, we were doing it for the love of   28 00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:33,520 Christ. Therefore, we were making Christ's love present   29 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,900 there. And I have heard the priest's vocation described as   30 00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:43,460 one who makes the love of Christ present and active in his   31 00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:50,740 milieu, we were making Christ's love present and active   32 00:02:50,740 --> 00:02:52,580 in the milieu amongst those people.   33 00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:57,420 And Christ's love, therefore, was   34 00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:00,140 working amongst those people.   35 00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:06,700 And perhaps this is the way the Holy Spirit is directing us   36 00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:10,420 to bring those people to Christ.   37 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:14,860 After all, direct missionary evangelization   38 00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:18,260 has not had any resounding success amongst the Muslims.   39 00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:21,260 And perhaps this is the way the Holy Spirit is leading us.   40 00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:23,660 I would like to believe that it is.   41 00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:40,380 And when in Bangladesh I hold a hungry child in my arms,   42 00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:46,500 It is brought home to me what Mrs. Miller said here a few moments ago.   43 00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:51,900 There is something sacred about that child.   44 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:53,380 He is a sacrament to us.   45 00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:56,580 He is Christ present there.   46 00:03:56,580 --> 00:04:03,260 Not in the same way as he is in the Eucharist, but in some true and real way.   47 00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:09,580 Remember this prophecy of Isaiah said,   48 00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:15,740 and the Lord, if you pour out your self for the hungry,   49 00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:20,220 the Lord will make your bones strong.   50 00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:21,860 It's only a few weeks ago since I   51 00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:26,300 was in one of the areas in Bangladesh   52 00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:29,980 where we have a feeding program, and I   53 00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:32,580 was absolutely exhausted.   54 00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:33,740 The heat was desperate.   55 00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:35,700 I was pouring perspiration.   56 00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:37,740 I hadn't an ounce of energy left.   57 00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:43,500 I was drooping, drooping almost to the point of giving up.   58 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,720 When one of our young volunteers said to me,   59 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,460 let's go and see Sabra Sakhira.   60 00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:52,780 Now Sabra Sakhira had been a quashy awkward child,   61 00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:58,500 pot-bellied, apathetic, more like a caricature   62 00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,660 of a human being than a real one.   63 00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:04,140 And I went to see Sabra.   64 00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:10,160 And I took little Sabra in my arms, now restored to life.   65 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,740 Her eyes were bright.   66 00:05:11,740 --> 00:05:13,540 Her face was smiling.   67 00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:16,500 She was sleek and plump.   68 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,820 And you know what happened?   69 00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:23,220 All my weariness fell from me.   70 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:24,340 I forgot all about it.   71 00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:40,240 I was ready to take off again and keep going, because the Lord will make your bones strong.   72 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:49,580 And your light shall rise in the darkness, and your gloom shall be as the noonday.   73 00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:58,660 And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.   74 00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:02,660 Isn't that a nice thing for all of us to have before us?   75 00:06:02,660 --> 00:06:08,740 All of us, and I mean all of us, because we are all involved, at least we all can be involved   76 00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:12,420 in pouring ourselves out for the hungry.   77 00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:16,860 Isn't it a nice thing to have held before us that we shall be like a watered garden   78 00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:23,200 whose waters fail not, so that people who come to us   79 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,840 will receive from us refreshment.   80 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:30,000 We will be able to give them something.   81 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,280 And we shall be a light to those who are in darkness.   82 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,060 Yesterday, when the gospel was being read in the cathedral,   83 00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:42,160 and we were told, not the gospel, I beg your pardon,   84 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,560 the first reading, we were told how   85 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,080 The Lord sent manna from heaven to feed the hungry.   86 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,480 I thought to myself, that's what he did for the Jews long ago,   87 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240 but he doesn't do it that way now.   88 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,080 We are the people who have to bring the bread from him   89 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,640 to the hungry now.   90 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,120 We have been chosen to be his instruments,   91 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,560 the instruments of his love, to feed the hungry.   92 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,800 It is a great privilege.   93 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,560 And you remember, he said also, Christ said,   94 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,240 The poor you have always with you.   95 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,840 We should strive that we don't have the poor with us, but while we have them with us, they   96 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:30,760 are a great challenge to us and a great grace to us because they enable us to bring Christ's   97 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:38,680 bread and Christ's love to those who are in need.   98 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,840 Monsignor Call tells me that this very evening,   99 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,500 a ship is leaving Philadelphia, a ship with a cargo of food   100 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:52,140 for Bangladesh, the fruits of Operation Rice Bowl,   101 00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:54,960 in which the whole of this vast continent of America   102 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520 has been involved.   103 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,000 And we can all be involved in that.   104 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520 And here and now, all of us and everybody   105 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,400 present at this Congress can send with that ship   106 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,960 a wave of love that is generated here at this great gathering,   107 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,760 a wave of love, a wave of concern with that food   108 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000 to those who are hungry.   109 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,680 Because Christ also said, not on bread alone does man live.   110 00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:36,320 We must send the food, but it must be given with love.   111 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,820 Thank you.</div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,840 Bill, may we have your response, comments, critique?   2 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:32,960 Cardinal Wright, dear brothers and sisters in Christ,   3 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:42,560 I shall attempt to pick upon a point made by Father Hare   4 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:48,120 toward the concluding section of his presentation, where   5 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,920 He touched briefly on the fact that the question   6 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,120 of the Eucharist cannot be separated   7 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,720 from the fact of hunger.   8 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,600 I shall attempt to accomplish what   9 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,200 I thought Arthur Simon was going to do when he quoted   10 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,160 from chapter 5 of his book, a book which I commend to you.   11 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,640 And I would like to attempt to link all of this together   12 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,520 with what Father Arrupe said this morning to the effect   13 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:34,580 that we seem indeed to have the know-how to solve   14 00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:37,200 the problem of world food production,   15 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,720 but seem to lack the will.   16 00:01:39,720 --> 00:02:01,720 The question of motivation then arousing our conscience as a consequence of realizing that bread, in the words of the American bishop's food plan, bread is a sacred trust.   17 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,900 It is not, contrary to Secretary of Agriculture Butts,   18 00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:14,300 it is not another tool in our kit of diplomacy.   19 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,580 To bring these scattered points together,   20 00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:28,500 then, I would attempt to offer for our joint reflection   21 00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:33,580 The linking, to me, the inextricable linking   22 00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:38,300 of the Eucharist with the literal feeding   23 00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:41,380 of the literally hungry.   24 00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:46,680 We sometimes forget how completely Jewish   25 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,260 is the context of our Eucharistic faith   26 00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:55,180 and liturgical practice.   27 00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:59,020 From the point of view of salvation history,   28 00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:02,260 the Eucharist takes its beginning really not   29 00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:06,180 on the eve of Christ's passion.   30 00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:10,740 The Eucharist sinks its roots into an event   31 00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:14,380 that took place thousands of years   32 00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:18,820 before the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.   33 00:03:18,820 --> 00:03:24,060 That event, of course, is the event of the exodus.   34 00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:28,940 when God broke again into human history   35 00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:34,460 and summoned forth a rabble of slaves   36 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:39,400 with the divine design of turning them   37 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:50,380 into a royal nation, a kingly people, whose God he would be.   38 00:03:50,380 --> 00:04:07,580 As you know, faithful Jews every year celebrated the fact and the significance of the Exodus   39 00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:17,300 through their celebration of their Passover, when God, through the leadership of a man   40 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:25,140 who stuttered, led them from slavery to freedom,   41 00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:29,660 from death to life.   42 00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:32,860 And as the faithful Jews gathered   43 00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:39,580 to commemorate and celebrate that passing over each year,   44 00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:44,900 the one who presided at the Passover feast,   45 00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:53,020 usually the father, would take unleavened bread   46 00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:57,980 because their forebears had been commanded to take with them   47 00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:00,900 only unleavened bread.   48 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,940 So hasty must be their flight.   49 00:05:04,940 --> 00:05:09,420 And the one presiding at the Passover meal,   50 00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:13,860 for centuries down to our own time,   51 00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:19,260 takes the unleavened bread, holds it up to the view   52 00:05:19,260 --> 00:05:22,460 of those celebrating the Passover meal,   53 00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:31,700 and says, this is the bread of affliction,   54 00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,060 which our fathers ate in the desert.   55 00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:44,500 Let all who are hungry come and eat.   56 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:54,780 Let all who are in need share our Passover meal with us.   57 00:05:54,780 --> 00:06:00,380 It was in this completely Jewish context   58 00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:06,580 that Jesus instituted the Eucharist.   59 00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:12,220 With desire, he said to his friends, with desire,   60 00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:20,220 have I desired to share this Passover meal with you.   61 00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:24,100 Where in the words of St. Thomas,   62 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:29,700 what he was to do at that meal, dat figoris terminum,   63 00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:34,460 put an end to the symbols of anticipation   64 00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:36,780 in the experience of the Jewish people.   65 00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:45,620 And while they were at supper, he took the bread,   66 00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:55,020 blessed it, broke, and said, this   67 00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:58,980 is the bread of affliction, which   68 00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:02,500 our fathers ate in the desert.   69 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:09,660 Let all who are hungry come and eat.   70 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:16,740 Let all who are in need share this Passover meal with us.   71 00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:21,660 This is the bread of affliction.   72 00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:29,900 This is my body, which will be given up for you.   73 00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:33,700 The early church, to a more clear degree   74 00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:37,220 than our recent generations, seemed   75 00:07:37,220 --> 00:07:42,820 to have kept an understanding of this linking of the Eucharist   76 00:07:42,820 --> 00:07:46,900 with the literal feeding of the literal hungry.   77 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,620 The bread for the purposes of the Eucharist   78 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:53,380 and later distribution of the unused portions   79 00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:59,780 was barley bread, the bread of the poor.   80 00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:02,020 Bread made from white sifted flours   81 00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:05,140 like those clothed in soft garments   82 00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:09,780 could be found in the houses of the rich.   83 00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:13,260 But for the early church, the unleavened bread   84 00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:21,500 of sacrifice and distribution was the unmilled bread   85 00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:22,220 of the poor.   86 00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:30,980 Although our manner of celebrating   87 00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:36,980 the liturgy of the Eucharist has been modified from century   88 00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:42,700 to century, obviously the central Eucharistic faith   89 00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,460 has remained the same.   90 00:08:45,460 --> 00:08:51,500 We believe that this is indeed his body, his blood.   91 00:08:55,260 --> 00:08:58,500 But through the eyes of faith, which   92 00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:03,420 enable us to see the living reality of the living   93 00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:11,420 word of the living God, we have not always so clearly discerned   94 00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:17,260 what we might call that other Christ, the Christ who   95 00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:22,180 identified himself so unmistakably   96 00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:31,300 and so ineradicably with the marginalized and brutalized   97 00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:37,540 of this earth, the hungry, the thirsty, the naked,   98 00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:39,620 the unjustly imprisoned.   99 00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:51,740 For us, who have heard for years now the grim statistics   100 00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:56,300 of how many hunger, of how many thirst,   101 00:09:56,300 --> 00:10:01,700 of how many are imprisoned, for us, the eyes of faith,   102 00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:08,860 Turn these from statistics to horrifying fact.   103 00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:15,540 We know who is hungry and where.   104 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:22,860 We know who is thirsty and where, and in what numbers,   105 00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:23,740 and to what degree.   106 00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:28,940 We cannot then, with the eyes of faith,   107 00:10:28,940 --> 00:10:32,780 proclaim that we see him in the Eucharist,   108 00:10:32,780 --> 00:10:37,340 and at the same time dim our eyes of faith   109 00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:42,620 and turn our ears away from the other Christ who cannot be   110 00:10:42,620 --> 00:10:47,700 separated from his Eucharistic presence.   111 00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:53,940 That, I think, gives the stir.   112 00:10:53,940 --> 00:11:00,780 That is what applies the spur to our conscience   113 00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:04,700 as we attempt to move to whatever limited degree   114 00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:08,300 against the massive problem of hunger.   115 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:12,100 The problem is massive, as we have been told again and again   116 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:13,140 and again.   117 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:17,460 But we are not powerless.   118 00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:20,580 And to think we are, to throw up our hands and say,   119 00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:23,260 I know it's terrible, but what can I do,   120 00:11:23,260 --> 00:11:27,820 is to take refuge in what Arthur Simon, in his recent book,   121 00:11:27,820 --> 00:11:32,900 has called the luxury of powerlessness.   122 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:35,580 We can do things.   123 00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:38,300 We can take the kind of course of action   124 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,500 already indicated here.   125 00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,500 We can take the kinds of action indicated   126 00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:47,900 in the tabloid brochure prepared by the committee   127 00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,100 for this international symposium.   128 00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:54,780 If you have not as yet received a copy, please try to get one.   129 00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:57,300 They seem readily available.   130 00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:04,180 There are things that we can do as Christian citizens   131 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:13,620 of conscience, which makes in our time and in our place   132 00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:19,740 that much harsher and demanding the question   133 00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:26,040 We know that he asks in each reception of the Eucharist,   134 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,300 I was hungry.   135 00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:42,760 As Father Hare said, most times people go home and wonder   136 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,520 what's going to happen, and very often nothing happens.   137 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,720 However, in this case, I think it's quite obvious   138 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,420 that a great deal is taking place.   139 00:12:53,420 --> 00:12:56,360 Our Lord said, I feel sorry for these people.   140 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,360 They have nothing to eat.   141 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,460 I do not want to send them away hungry   142 00:13:00,460 --> 00:13:03,600 lest they collapse on the way.   143 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,540 Christians, individuals, families, nations,   144 00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:09,620 and associations of nations must therefore   145 00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:13,920 face up to the fact that it is unthinkably immoral to permit   146 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,360 people to go hungry.   147 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,800 In recent years, there have been many statements concerning this,   148 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,780 and it's not necessary here, I think,   149 00:13:23,780 --> 00:13:27,680 to do more than simply agree with it.   150 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:33,320 In one territory, to set a particular stage   151 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,760 where Catholic Relief Services is working,   152 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,680 and unfortunately, it's common, it's   153 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:42,680 not an isolated incident, there's   154 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,520 a population of 45 million people,   155 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,560 including 3 million unemployed and probably about 15 million   156 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,640 underemployed.   157 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,600 With 10,000 tons of food, we're giving work   158 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,840 to 20,000 heads of families and feeding a total of 100,000   159 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,800 people through them.   160 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,900 An American Jesuit in that diocese   161 00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:06,680 described this CRS Food for Work project   162 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:10,280 as one of the best things that ever happened to his diocese.   163 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,480 But a truly gigantic effort still   164 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,800 has to be cranked up because that's just   165 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,800 scratching the surface.   166 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,760 The World Food Congress, the World Food Conference,   167 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720 rather, in 1974 in Rome, approved a program   168 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,920 calling for four things.   169 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,480 Increased and rationalized food aid.   170 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,560 A 10 million ton food bank.   171 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,780 increased agricultural production,   172 00:14:43,780 --> 00:14:45,780 and food deficit countries.   173 00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:48,300 And of them all, the last is undoubtedly   174 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,580 the most important, although all three are needed.   175 00:14:54,460 --> 00:15:00,500 36 member nations now, or 36 men,   176 00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:06,020 representing their 36 countries, now   177 00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:12,560 constitute a World Food Council, which   178 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,380 monitors the implementation of the resolutions mentioned   179 00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:23,100 above or the recommendations of the World Food Conference.   180 00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:29,460 And it continually reassesses the world food situation,   181 00:15:29,460 --> 00:15:31,980 encourages action, and makes recommendations   182 00:15:31,980 --> 00:15:35,540 to other United Nations bodies, identifies   183 00:15:35,540 --> 00:15:40,140 problems as they arise, gaps in activities,   184 00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:44,060 time lags in performance, and measures progress   185 00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:46,500 towards an integrated and coordinated approach   186 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,340 to the World Food Program problem.   187 00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:52,180 This council was set up by the General Assembly of the United   188 00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:54,540 Nations.   189 00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:59,580 Secondly, an international fund that Father Hare mentioned   190 00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:03,420 for agricultural development has been established   191 00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:09,420 with something less than the $1.21 billion   192 00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:13,340 requested by the World Food Conference.   193 00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:18,260 A consultative group on world food production and investment   194 00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:21,980 has also been established, as well as   195 00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:25,940 a global early warning information   196 00:16:25,940 --> 00:16:31,060 system on what is happening in various corners of the world.   197 00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:33,780 That's the UN program.   198 00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:40,260 The US Congress has legislated a minimum food aid grant   199 00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:48,520 program of 1,300,000 tons of food yearly.   200 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,060 On the other hand, the administration's preoccupations   201 00:16:52,060 --> 00:16:54,380 with commercial sales is reflected   202 00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:58,100 in the approval of a million ton sale program   203 00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:01,120 recently to Russia that was published   204 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,860 in the beginning of July.   205 00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:07,580 And Russia is hardly an underdeveloped country.   206 00:17:07,580 --> 00:17:11,220 This would seem to indicate that our response to need   207 00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:14,980 is at least self-serving.   208 00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:17,980 Despite worldwide shortages, there   209 00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:22,740 are some people who say that if people, and these people are   210 00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:27,300 always in third world countries, of course, cannot buy food,   211 00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,360 There's no point in producing more of it.   212 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:35,340 According to this opinion, we must first create more jobs,   213 00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:38,700 produce more wealth, distribute this wealth   214 00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:41,640 through increased employment, thus providing   215 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,160 the money necessary for people to purchase more food, which   216 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,520 we would only then produce.   217 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,800 We can only ask what would happen to the poor   218 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,280 while this process was taking place.   219 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800 And while it's taking place in one part of the world,   220 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,040 what would happen to the poor in all the rest of the world?   221 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,840 This would seem, this opinion would   222 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,880 seem to indicate an obsession with capitalism, profits   223 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,740 and growth, rather than with people, their needs,   224 00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:15,080 and Christian principles.   225 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,520 And it obstructs our treating of our impoverished brothers   226 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,040 of the world as the brothers that they truly are.   227 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:27,240 Our government also provided in the current aid bill   228 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,520 for expenditures of $1,567 million   229 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,660 for agriculture, rural development, and nutrition   230 00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:38,540 programs in the third world.   231 00:18:38,540 --> 00:18:42,720 On November 9, 1974, during the World Food Conference,   232 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,660 our Holy Father, Pope Paul VI, addressing the conference,   233 00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:50,360 noted that mankind is presently making   234 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:56,480 the resources of the universe yield their full potential.   235 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,500 But in our own world, the wealth of some   236 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:02,740 and the grinding poverty of others   237 00:19:02,740 --> 00:19:07,100 seems to paralyze our best efforts.   238 00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:11,500 Human intelligence can protect the health of so many,   239 00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:14,780 so completely, but it's avoiding the task   240 00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:18,140 of ensuring adequate nourishment for the most defenseless   241 00:19:18,140 --> 00:19:19,300 sectors of mankind.   242 00:19:22,180 --> 00:19:28,180 The Holy Father said the right to satisfy man's hunger   243 00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:31,660 must finally be recognized for everyone.   244 00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:34,420 This right is based on the fact that all the goods of the Earth   245 00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:37,260 are destined primarily for universal use   246 00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:40,180 and for the subsistence of all men   247 00:19:40,180 --> 00:19:43,860 before any individual appropriation.   248 00:19:43,860 --> 00:19:47,220 Christ based this judgment of each human being   249 00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:50,800 on the respect for this right.   250 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,380 On this marvelous occasion, that of a Eucharistic Congress,   251 00:19:55,380 --> 00:19:59,440 the hungers of man for God, for food, for freedom,   252 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,640 for justice, for the Spirit, for truth, for understanding,   253 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,420 for peace, and for Jesus are being presented to us   254 00:20:09,420 --> 00:20:13,160 in such a way as to make us all aware of the interconnection,   255 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,780 dependency of each of these hungers on the other.   256 00:20:17,780 --> 00:20:24,620 The hearts of men long for God in his order and wisdom.   257 00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:27,180 Can we, with that common longing,   258 00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:30,700 allow one another to starve for food,   259 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:34,420 suffer from malnutrition, endure physical weakness   260 00:20:34,420 --> 00:20:39,320 because we consume too little food?   261 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,360 Do we belong to one body of Christ   262 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:45,500 and deny to any of our fellow men   263 00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,760 the right to freedom, to mutual understanding,   264 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,080 and reconciliation that human hearts long for,   265 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,160 strive after, and proclaim as mans do?   266 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,160 Shall we who are united in supporting every man's right   267 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,120 to the satisfying of these hungers   268 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:06,920 legitimately deny to our fellow men united in this aspiration   269 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,120 the right to share in the fruits of the earth   270 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:12,080 that are necessary to maintain the life which   271 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,360 God has put in their bodies.   272 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,080 We know the theological and spiritual reasons   273 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,320 why God has perpetuated his presence among us   274 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,680 under the species of bread and wine.   275 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,360 But the universality of access to this spiritual food   276 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,660 and to the other needed forms of physical sustenance   277 00:21:33,660 --> 00:21:37,520 has its parallel in the universality of access   278 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,520 of man to God.   279 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,960 From this point of view also, there   280 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,080 must be no denial of the means to satisfy the hunger   281 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,600 of any man anywhere on Earth.   282 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,320 The bread of life is a spiritual food indeed,   283 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,720 but there is also the material bread of life   284 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,040 that has a quasi-sacramental role of satisfying   285 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,920 man's physical hunger.   286 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:10,600 As life is sacred, so the bread that sustains life   287 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,620 has a sacred purpose.   288 00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:16,720 In this sense, it may not be denied to anyone   289 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,760 on Earth at any age of the world,   290 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,400 neither in the amount needed nor in the quality that   291 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,520 will support life.   292 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,760 The role of the producer of food, its distributor   293 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,240 and handler in any way consequently   294 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,920 becomes a sacred trust, an act of sharing in the work of God,   295 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,560 a way of sustaining life which God has created,   296 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,120 a purposeful and meaningful activity that   297 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,840 approaches a sacred role.   298 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,080 In the face of such considerations,   299 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,280 can we be only humanitarian in our efforts   300 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,240 to assuage the hunger for food?   301 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,960 Must we not be godlike in trying to provide   302 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:02,520 for the needs of all men everywhere   303 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,120 with the great goods of his creation.   304 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:11,680 Systems are undoubtedly required to govern our lives   305 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,880 as men in this complicated era.   306 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,400 But when a system, as sometimes happens,   307 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,000 produces at the same time enormous benefits   308 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,480 and disastrous limitations on our efforts   309 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,880 to assuage human hunger, that system should be modified.   310 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,400 Increased agricultural production   311 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,400 has permitted many countries in the world   312 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,160 to help their neighbors with food in ways   313 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,360 that earlier eras of the world hardly dreamed of.   314 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:44,640 But when this great process is affected   315 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,600 by other considerations, profits from commercial sales,   316 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,720 costs of conservation, transportation and distribution   317 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,000 to famished areas of the world, the self-protective instinct   318 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,580 to limit production in order to maintain prices and profits,   319 00:24:03,580 --> 00:24:07,060 and even the exaltation of the principle of self-interest   320 00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:10,620 first, then the system must be modified   321 00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:13,300 since the true Christian principle is   322 00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:17,220 that of our neighbor's interest first.   323 00:24:17,220 --> 00:24:19,820 The world has changed considerably   324 00:24:19,820 --> 00:24:25,100 since the man who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho   325 00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:28,020 fell among thieves.   326 00:24:28,020 --> 00:24:30,780 But the act of the good Samaritan on that occasion   327 00:24:30,780 --> 00:24:33,980 has not ceased to be a basic principle of conduct   328 00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:37,420 for all right-thinking men.   329 00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:42,140 We do unto others as you would have others do unto you   330 00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:46,220 as the universally accepted golden rule.   331 00:24:46,220 --> 00:24:49,380 In the face of these principles, how is it possible for us   332 00:24:49,380 --> 00:24:51,980 to even mention without a shudder of horror   333 00:24:51,980 --> 00:24:56,500 such things as triage, the lifeboat ethic,   334 00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:01,060 or other such neighbor-sacrificing systems?   335 00:25:01,060 --> 00:25:03,940 Is our own welfare so precious that it   336 00:25:03,940 --> 00:25:08,180 has to be purchased at the cost of our spiritual values   337 00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:10,740 and at the price of the lives of the weakest   338 00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:14,100 members of the human community?   339 00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,620 Rather, should not the physical good of all of us   340 00:25:16,620 --> 00:25:21,260 be preserved by using wisdom, scientific knowledge,   341 00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:24,660 tremendous technical resources, and a spirit   342 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:28,400 of conscious daring and striving.   343 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,880 This is how the benefits of the fruits of the earth   344 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,780 can be brought to all of our fellow men   345 00:25:33,780 --> 00:25:38,040 and first and foremost to the weakest among them.   346 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,080 What we've said thus far can be summed up in the conclusion   347 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,120 that the Christian morality excludes   348 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,400 our consideration of any solutions to the world food   349 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,940 problem that conflict with the sermon on the mount that   350 00:25:50,940 --> 00:25:53,720 sacrifices any members of the human family   351 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,220 for the good of others, or that fails   352 00:25:56,220 --> 00:26:00,300 to regard the sufferings of one as a violation   353 00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:02,600 of the good of all.   354 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,220 But this being the case, we must ask ourselves   355 00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:10,740 whether or not it's possible for us to feed the world,   356 00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:14,540 prevent hunger and malnutrition, produce adequately   357 00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:16,300 for the present and for the future.   358 00:26:19,020 --> 00:26:22,180 And that's the challenge, really.   359 00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:26,400 The World Bank, whose studies, experience, and planning   360 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,760 is at least as good as any existing today,   361 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760 says that we can.   362 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,880 First of all, the urgency of expanding food supplies   363 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,840 and the objectives of rural development   364 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,500 are practically the same thing and depend one upon the other.   365 00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:46,780 The World Bank examined the possibility   366 00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:53,680 of increasing the annual rate of growth of output   367 00:26:53,680 --> 00:27:04,540 by small farmers by 5% by 1985.   368 00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:07,060 Taking into account all of the factors that   369 00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:08,820 could influence such an objective,   370 00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:12,480 both favorably and unfavorably, the experience   371 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,780 of underdeveloped countries and of the World Bank   372 00:27:14,780 --> 00:27:19,760 itself in this regard, the technological, organizational,   373 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,500 procedural, and manpower difficulties   374 00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:26,980 limiting effective use of additional investment,   375 00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:30,580 and using two different methods for the study,   376 00:27:30,580 --> 00:27:34,300 the bank concluded that on the basis of the first method   377 00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:41,540 that a total cumulative capital cost of $70,000 million   378 00:27:41,540 --> 00:27:47,460 must be invested to achieve the annual growth rate mentioned   379 00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:52,900 in the production of small farmers in the third world.   380 00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:54,780 This is the end of side one.   381 00:27:54,780 --> 00:27:58,500 To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 To maintain that growth beyond 1985, 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000 an additional annual investment or expenditure 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,000 of approximately $20,000 million would still be needed yearly. 4 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Using a second method to examine the same objective, 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000 the overall cost of the best of several implementation schedules 6 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 to assist the rural poor and small farmers in the same way that we mentioned, 7 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,000 and they will number over 700 million people by the end of the 1970s, 8 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000 could cost as much as $100,000 million. 9 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000 The bank goes on to say, on some counts, 10 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000 even the higher estimate of $100,000 million investment 11 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000 would seem remarkably modest to provide the impetus 12 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000 for sustaining increases in food productivity and real income for the rural poor. 13 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Estimates of income, savings, and investment at present, 14 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000 the present investment, 15 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000 in developing countries including the petroleum and mineral exporters 16 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000 that are part of the third world, 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000 indicate that total investments in developing countries in 1974 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000 were approximately $170,000 million, 19 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000 allowing for phasing over a 10-year period $10,000 million per year 20 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000 would have to be directed out of the total sum available 21 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000 and already being used for that purpose for rural development 22 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000 and this would account for only 6% of the total being invested at the present time. 23 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000 For the low-income developing countries, 24 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000 which means excluding the oil and mineral producers, 25 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000 the picture is different, 26 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:17,000 but it still is within the realm of reasonable possibilities according to the bank. 27 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 The bank considers the investments required 28 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000 neither too high nor unreasonable nor otherwise unacceptable. 29 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Quite the contrary. 30 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Furthermore, since food shortages affect all countries, 31 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 including the petroleum and mineral exporters, 32 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000 along with the other developing countries, 33 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000 the consideration based on all the countries in the third world taken together 34 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000 is clearly the most valid one. 35 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 It is also clear that such an investment 36 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000 that will provide an annual 5% growth rate in the production of small farmers 37 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000 answers the question, can we prevent hunger? 38 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000 As the bank states, rural areas have labor, land, 39 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 and at least some capital, which if mobilized, 40 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000 will reduce poverty and improve the quality of life. 41 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000 The redirection to rural development of a small percentage 42 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000 of present investments in underdeveloped countries 43 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000 will improve productivity, increase employment, 44 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000 and hence provide higher income 45 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000 as well as minimum acceptable levels of food, shelter, education, and health, 46 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 expansion of communications, and the improvement of housing. 47 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Since we're talking about what might well be a last chance effort 48 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000 to rescue from absolute poverty just less than 700 million poor 49 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000 in the developing world, 50 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000 and a poor person by this definition has less than $50 a year to live on, 51 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000 this is indeed a cheap price to pay 52 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 and one which humanity can well afford. 53 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000 In addition, it has the advantage of providing for the production of food 54 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 to meet the shortages where they exist 55 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000 rather than in the traditional food exporting countries of North America 56 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 and to a lesser extent of Europe. 57 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 And if one's interest extends also to another level, 58 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000 it meets the demands of economic capitalism 59 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000 for growth and profit at the local level. 60 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000 What we are talking about, therefore, can be done 61 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000 not only in the estimation of agencies such as our own 62 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000 that have seen many areas of the third world raised to self-sufficiency, 63 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000 but also in the carefully researched opinion 64 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 of such a prestigious institution as the World Bank 65 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 that has brought to bear on this problem 66 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000 all the available wisdom, science, and technology it could marshal. 67 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000 If some of us, therefore, turn to immoral solutions 68 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000 simply out of desperation, 69 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000 it must be stated that there is little justification 70 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 for the tactics of despair. 71 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Bishop Rouse recently told the House Subcommittee on International Resources, 72 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Food and Energy, 73 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000 the hungry have a right to live, 74 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 and we, therefore, have no other morally acceptable choice 75 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000 than to open wide our hands to our brothers. 76 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Thank you. 77 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Thank you very much, Monsignor. 78 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000 I will ask Sister now if she will make her responses, comments, and critique. 79 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Cardinal Wright and friends, sisters and brothers, 80 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 I have three points to make, and I think I can make them very briefly 81 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 so that we have a chance to share among ourselves, 82 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 because by this time I'm sure we have many ideas. 83 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Father Hare described the state of the question in the first part of his talk. 84 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,000 In the second, he analyzed the issue and gave us four models, 85 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000 and then dealt more briefly with Christian resources 86 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000 in the face of world hunger, doctrinal, moral, and organizational. 87 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 And it's to that third part that I would like to address my remarks, 88 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000 one in each of those categories. 89 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Other speakers have refreshed our memories 90 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000 and extended our understanding of what we believe 91 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000 about the link between Eucharist and hunger. 92 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000 I would like to suggest that the hunger issue is bringing into focus 93 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 that one of the things that we believe is that as human beings, 94 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 and certainly as Christians, we all have a responsibility to be educators 95 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000 in the sense that we have to nourish one another 96 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 in an understanding, a continuing understanding of this crucial issue 97 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 which will be ours and a central human issue, 98 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000 not an isolated one, for the rest of our lives. 99 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000 And so I think that we have to take very seriously 100 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000 and dedicate ourselves to the truth that each of us, 101 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000 as we go from the Eucharist to Congress, 102 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000 must take some responsibility for extending an understanding 103 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000 of the hunger issue and getting it located structurally 104 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000 into our educational system, whether that's elementary, high school, college, 105 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000 or adult education in the parish, or some other non-formal way of education. 106 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000 In doing that, I then lead into the next point I want to make 107 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 about moral resources. 108 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 I think it's terribly important for us to spare no effort 109 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 to analyze the hunger issue as a problem to be solved, 110 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000 but to continually address it also as a mystery to be lived. 111 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000 And I don't mean just the sacramental Eucharist, 112 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000 but I mean the hunger mystery. 113 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000 That somehow our understanding of the Eucharist 114 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000 will depend on our rediscovering the natural sacramentality of food. 115 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000 That in this issue we are really dealing with a life and death issue. 116 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000 We share life with one another when we share food. 117 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000 And it's only, I think, by integrating the hunger issue 118 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 as a problem to be solved, demanding the best in analysis, 119 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000 and a mystery to be lived, that we are going to go a step beyond 120 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 the step that we seem to be, or the place we seem to be now, 121 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 and we recognize it as a justice issue, 122 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000 which is a great step forward from seeing it only as a personal, 123 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000 almsgiving kind of an issue, 124 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000 to a deeper integration of the relationship between love and justice. 125 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000 In the beautiful words of the Synod 71 document, 126 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:18,000 love demands justice, and justice finds its inner fullness only in love. 127 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000 It seems to me that it's terribly important to realize here 128 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 that our mistake in the past for historical, theological, 129 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 or sociological reasons, I don't know why, 130 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000 was that in our old idea of charity or almsgiving, 131 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 we seemed to think that we could make a unilateral private decision. 132 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000 We were the decision makers about how much we would take out of our pockets 133 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000 for Catholic relief services and then think it was all over. 134 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000 But in deciding about justice, the norm for the decision is out there. 135 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000 It's in the real need of a real brother and a real sister we recognize 136 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000 because we recognize a God whom we call Father. 137 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000 So I think in dealing with the hunger issue educationally 138 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000 as a problem to be solved and a mystery to be lived, 139 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 we need to continue to look for improved models. 140 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000 And while spaceships are a great example of that, 141 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000 and while spaceship has some distinct advantages over the family table, 142 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:26,000 it's a very kind of a western technological task-oriented model. 143 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000 We also have to continually search for myths and symbols 144 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000 and to cultivate their creative arts as much as possible 145 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,000 to find insights on how to stay with this issue, 146 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000 which is so dear to us because we know that God whom we know in Jesus 147 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000 took real bread and real wine and really identified with it. 148 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000 And that's why I think it's a beautiful thing and something that we'll remember 149 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 as a high point of our Eucharistic Congress, 150 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000 that there's so much of a celebration of the arts surrounding this Congress, 151 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000 and maybe it's only going to be in post-Eucharistic Congress reflection 152 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,000 we'll see what a very, very significant dimension of a Congress that is. 153 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,000 The third point and final one I'd like to make is about organizational resources. 154 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000 Our United States Bishop Conference produced in November 1974 155 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000 a pastoral plan on the world food crisis, 156 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000 which in my view is one of the most magnificent pastoral theological documents 157 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000 that's come out of the American church. 158 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000 Now our tendency is to say, well, that was the 1974 plan, 159 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000 in 1975 we did something on something else. 160 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 I think that we need to take that pastoral plan, 161 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000 copies are available from the USCC and also from Catholic Relief Services, 162 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000 and to continue to see that as a plan that needs continual implementation 163 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 because it deals with those three levels that we have to continually work on 164 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000 that Bishop Rausch spoke so beautifully about this morning. 165 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,000 We have there seven targeted issues in which we must continually work on 166 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000 and enter into the public policy debate. 167 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000 It deals with the need for continuing education, particularly adult education. 168 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000 If we do it right ourselves, those of us in this room, 169 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000 and our fellow Christians around the country, 170 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,000 our children will catch it from us, but it won't work the other way around. 171 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000 And it deals with the whole lifestyle and pastoral liturgical dimension. 172 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000 And it's very important, it seems to me, 173 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 that we don't let that pastoral plan on the world food crisis 174 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000 become an historical document, but that it really become a blueprint for action. 175 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 And then finally, if we're going to act on that, 176 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000 it reminds us that we have to act with all our brothers and sisters in this country, 177 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000 particularly those of us who do share a living faith in Jesus Christ. 178 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,000 And we can be very grateful to God that we have together invented an organization 179 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000 to put arms and legs on that public policy part of the pastoral plan of action. 180 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000 And here, of course, I speak of bread for the world. 181 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000 I'm not at all embarrassed to be advocating it very strongly. 182 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Those are the three points that I would like to make in just perhaps extending a little further, 183 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000 I hope anyway, what Father Hare was saying, 184 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000 and he spent most of his time in that excellent analysis. 185 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000 And as we walk from this room, we have to say, 186 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000 now that we've analyzed the issue, what do we do to work with it? 187 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Thank you very much. 188 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Thank you. 189 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Thank you very much. 190 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000 Thank you, Sister. 191 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000 In the name of the organization, 192 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000 I apologize for the trouble you have with the technique and the technicians, 193 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 but there's a moral. 194 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000 It's a very important one. 195 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Use the technicians when they work, but don't count on them. 196 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000 Always have human resources and resources of goodwill to put the thing through 197 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,000 because you never know when the damn machine is going to squeal or break down. 198 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Are there any of the resource men who would like to make an observation or an intervention? 199 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000 I have the uncomfortable feeling that they have been rejected. 200 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Thank you. 201 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000 I promise to be very brief. 202 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:47,000 I'm reacting mainly to Father Hare's extraordinarily lucid and acute presentation, 203 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000 and he's given us so much it may seem greedy to ask for even more. 204 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000 But if I were to ask for something more from him, 205 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:02,000 I should like to know, pursuing his interest in exploring the population dimension of this problem, 206 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,000 whether or not we need additional models to guide people in countries like the United States 207 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000 where you postulate different possible responses from that part of the world 208 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000 where population right now is said to be growing at the rate of about 2.5% a year. 209 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 For instance, suppose it continues to grow at 2.5. 210 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000 What response does that call for? 211 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Should it grow at a more rapid rate? 212 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Would that in any way alter our obligations or posture? 213 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000 I'm not expecting impromptu answers to this. 214 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000 I suggest I think these are things also that at some time and some place have to be explored, 215 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000 however uncomfortable may be the implications to us. 216 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Father Hare, do you wish to comment? 217 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000 I would simply agree that that is part of the problem. 218 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000 In other places I've tried to respond within the framework of what the framework of Catholic teaching is 219 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000 and where I thought questions ought to be asked of the teaching. 220 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,000 And I feel myself that that middle position that argues that there is a population problem, 221 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,000 that governments have a right to deal with it, as Pope Paul said in Progressio Populorum, 222 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000 but that the population question has to be seen within the framework of the larger development question. 223 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000 I think it's someplace in there that the answer is. 224 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Now, the specifics of what the limits of government intervention are, what's legitimate and not, 225 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000 the specifics raised by the India situation, for example, are on the table. 226 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,000 And I think, quite frankly, the Catholic Church can't talk about the food problem without talking about the other issue. 227 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000 I'm not trying to dictate what the position ought to be, 228 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000 but you just can't stay in the public forum if you say there's no problem on the other. 229 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000 So I'm just arguing for a fabric that deals with both sides of the problem. 230 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:00,000 The U.S. side of the problem tends to take the population variable and push it as the primary question very often in our aid programs, 231 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 in some of our voluntary organizations. 232 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,000 I think there needs to be resistance to that in this country, but I don't argue that we ought to argue there's no problem by any means. 233 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:29,000 I merely would like to ask again, Father Herr, where in his picture, I think he has not neglected to consider what I'm going to question, 234 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:40,000 but I recognize the humanity in sharing bread, but there seems to me also to be a balance. 235 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000 I feel that, maybe it's my legal background, that with every right there's a correlative duty. 236 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:56,000 Is there not some balance whereby we ought to request some self-help? 237 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000 In the old oriental proverb you all know, you're all familiar with, 238 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000 if you give a man a fish you feed him for a meal. 239 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000 If you teach him how to fish you feed him for life. 240 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Also, many philosophers have said that the highest form of charity is to help a man help himself. 241 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Where, Father, does this fit into the picture? 242 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000 I'll make two comments on the observation, which I accept is a valid observation. 243 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:40,000 The first comment I'd make is that the question of self-help is one of the issues on the agenda. 244 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Internal reform in the developing countries is part of the problem on agricultural development. 245 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000 It is part of the problem in the larger economic picture. 246 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Second problem is much more tricky. 247 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,000 I would argue that what's on the table in very general terms in the international debate today, 248 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 under the label of the new international economic order, 249 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000 are some of the preconditions that the developing countries feel are necessary for self-help. 250 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000 They are not talking about aid, if you'll look carefully. 251 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000 They're talking about changing the trading structures. 252 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000 They're talking about the questions of foreign investment, 253 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000 what kind of control they have over the corporations that move in and out of their countries. 254 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 And that's a self-help problem. 255 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000 And that problem gets very quickly to the problem of the nature of political power in the international system. 256 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000 What power they have in the international decision-making institutions. 257 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000 I think we have to be careful in the U.S. that we don't try and have it both ways. 258 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000 We have a strong tradition of self-help among ourselves, and that's good. 259 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000 And it's good for other people, too. 260 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000 But when the self-help issues come on the table, in terms of this debate of the NIEO, 261 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000 I wouldn't say that the U.S. response has been magnanimous, open-ended, and quick. 262 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,000 I'd say that we have been regarded as the primary hedging institution in the international community. 263 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000 So I think if we're going to talk about self-help, we need to talk about, in specific terms, 264 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000 about what self-help is going to mean. 265 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Self-help means, as it did for the unions in this country when they went up against management, 266 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000 it means changing the structure of power. 267 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000 It means regulating parts of the economic system that we generally don't like regulated. 268 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000 I think that at least that's going to be part of the self-help project. 269 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000 And we're not quite so ready, I don't think, to say yes to the self-help 270 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 after we've asked people to take those steps. 271 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000 Thank you. 272 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000 APPLAUSE 273 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Fortunately, I am forbidden by the ground rules from making a speech. 274 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000 But I'm tempted to make one. 275 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:47,000 I'd like to provide a speech which might not send a consultant out optimistic, 276 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 but which would sketch in a little bit more than the legal opinion, 277 00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000 as reflected, for example, by some recent decisions of the highest supreme body in our land, 278 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000 which was entirely on the side of population control 279 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000 and not a bit on the side of doing anything about anything else. 280 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000 APPLAUSE 281 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000 When I was the Bishop of Pittsburgh, I am allowed to tell a story. 282 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000 LAUGHTER 283 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000 I used to go down for a month every year 284 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000 and work with the priests and sisters and laity from Pittsburgh 285 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:35,000 in a port city in Peru, which desperately needed optimism. 286 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,000 One day there arrived the representatives of the United States Aid to Latin America. 287 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000 I can remember them now. They had acne all over their faces. 288 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,000 And they offered the town of Chimbote some lousy powdered milk. 289 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000 But the condition of their getting the lousy powdered milk 290 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000 was that they had to take a bag of contraceptives. 291 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000 I had already learned from university people in Lima 292 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,000 the manner in which if Westinghouse would only give us the means 293 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000 to desalinise the Pacific, 294 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:33,000 we could produce on that lunar landscape between Lima and Chimbote 295 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:43,000 enough food to sustain 20 times the population for 500 years. 296 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000 I had also learned that the Humboldt stream 297 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000 is so filled with protein that you can walk on it. 298 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000 So the great question arose, do we take the lousy powdered milk? 299 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Well, they desperately needed it. 300 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000 They were selling American canned fruit in the Lima stores. 301 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:13,000 When in their own jungle at the headwaters of the Amazon, 302 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,000 the fruit was dying on the vine 303 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:23,000 because the American aid program did not include the means yet to it. 304 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:34,000 And to handle it, sheer lack of vision or compassion or intelligence 305 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000 or willingness to pass up our canned fruit profits in the stores of Lima. 306 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000 So there was a discussion, will we take the lousy powdered milk? 307 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000 And they turned to me as a bishop and a Catholic 308 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000 and I was 100% on the side of the Pope. 309 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000 And they said, what do we do? 310 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000 I said, take both bags and I'll see you later. 311 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000 They took the lousy powdered milk and they took the bag of contraceptives 312 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000 and then there was a discussion of what we would do with the bag of contraceptives 313 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000 and I suggested to throw it in the harbour. 314 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000 It was a gift. 315 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000 You can do with a gift as you choose. 316 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000 But one of the descendants of the Incas with more brains than I had said, 317 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000 what in the name of God will it do to the fish? 318 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:36,000 That would complicate the problem. 319 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000 So we burned it. 320 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000 And I hope they burn it till there's nothing less to burn 321 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:52,000 because there cannot possibly be too many good people in a land that was created 322 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000 to hold 50 million and only has 8 million. 323 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000 That's the cold fact. 324 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Moreover, I add one further exceedingly brief note. 325 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000 At the end of the 15th century, 326 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:17,000 there was a mood throughout Europe that the world was so overpopulated. 327 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,000 People were so pushed in on one another that there could be nothing but war. 328 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000 And then a little Italian by the name of Christopher Columbus set out 329 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000 from Lisbon and opened up a whole new world. 330 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000 The last talk that Pius XII gave I heard. 331 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000 He was a dying man. 332 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000 And he looked at the crowd of people there, 333 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000 all of them anxious, worried, depressed, pessimistic, 334 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000 and he said, what is the matter with you? 335 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,000 You are standing on the shores of space. 336 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000 You have a whole universe to exploit. 337 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000 And only the other day I saw a science fiction writer say, 338 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000 and they're only 50 years ahead of the rest of us, 339 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000 we have a universe to colonize. 340 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Cut the kidding. 341 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000 Cut the kidding. 342 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000 Old Joe Kennedy said there couldn't be too many Kennedys. 343 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Well, I don't think there can be too many people. 344 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:43,000 And I think the government should be forced to find the means to support the people there. 345 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,000 But in any case, the day they make a ruling 346 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:58,000 or a bit of legislation that forbids the freedom of people to follow their own conscience 347 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000 and their own preferences in this matter, that day they should be thrown out.</div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

you recognized God's gift 160 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,000 and who it is that is asking you for a drink, 161 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000 then you would have asked Him instead, 162 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,000 and He would have given you living water. 163 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Sir, she challenged Him, 164 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,600 You do not have a bucket, and this well is very deep. 165 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,540 Where do you expect to get this flowing water? 166 00:22:17,540 --> 00:22:23,780 Surely you do not pretend to be greater than our ancestor Jacob, 167

this water will be thirsty again. 170 00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:49,460 But whoever drinks the water I give him will never be thirsty. 171 00:22:49,460 --> 00:22:56,460 No, the water I give shall become a fountain within him, 172 00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:59,460 leaping up to provide eternal life. 173 00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:04,460 Sir, answered the woman, 174 00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:08,800 I can see you are a prophet. 175 00:23:11,460 --> 00:23:15,460 Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, 176 00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:19,460 but you people claim that Jerusalem is the place 177 00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:22,960 where men ought to worship God. 178 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,960 Jesus told her, 179 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:40,960 Believe me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 180 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:52,520 Yes, yes, an hour is coming and is already here when authentic worshippers will worship 181 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,360 the Father in spirit and in truth. 182 00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:05,240 Indeed, it is just such worshippers the Father seeks. 183 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:26,240 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. 184 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:31,780 If you thirst, come unto me. 185 00:24:31,780 --> 00:24:36,940 Drink and believe in me. 186 00:24:36,940 --> 00:24:46,100 From within me rivers of living water, the waters of the spirit 187 00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:47,100 shall flow. 188 00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:54,100 Your Eminence Cardinal Knox. 189 00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:58,100 Your Eminence Cardinal Otunga. 190 00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:03,100 Your Excellency Archbishop Jadot. 191 00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:09,100 Your Eminences, my brother bishops and priests, 192 00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:14,100 my brothers and sisters in Christ. 193 00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:23,100 When he visited the martyr's shrine in Uganda, 194 00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:29,100 our Holy Father, Pope Paul, raised up the possibility, 195 00:25:29,100 --> 00:25:39,100 the possibility that for some of us has long been a glorious dream 196 00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:44,100 that black people's might, and I quote, 197 00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:49,100 enrich the church with their unique 198 00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:54,100 and treasured gift of negritude, 199 00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:59,100 which Pope Paul went on to say, 200 00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:04,100 the church has need of, 201 00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:10,100 especially in this moment of her history. 202 00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:20,100 And why especially at this moment in her history? 203 00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:25,100 Especially at this moment in her history 204 00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:29,100 because the Church knows 205 00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:36,100 that evangelization, preaching the gospel to people, 206 00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:44,100 which we wish to undertake today with renewed vigor, 207 00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:49,100 and again I quote from His Holiness, 208 00:26:49,100 --> 00:27:01,640 loses much of its effectiveness if it does not take into consideration the actual people 209 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,660 to whom it is addressed. 210 00:27:05,660 --> 00:27:17,300 If it does not use their language, their signs and symbols, if it does not answer the questions 211 00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:23,860 they ask, and if it does not have an impact 212 00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:27,140 on their concrete life. 213 00:27:29,860 --> 00:27:35,600 These are the words of our Holy Father in his document 214 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,440 on evangelization. 215 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:47,320 Without taking into account the experience of black peoples, 216 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,820 preaching the gospel would be directed 217 00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:55,200 at a very limited world. 218 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,960 And the gospel would not take root 219 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,920 among vast multitudes of people now struggling 220 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,000 for their liberation, but inevitably 221 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,760 moving to the day when they will exercise their right 222 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,360 to fashion their own destiny and the character 223 00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:21,960 of the world of tomorrow. 224 00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:31,400 Especially at this moment in her history, 225 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:37,140 because the church knows that her efforts to renew 226 00:28:37,140 --> 00:28:41,080 and revitalize her life of worship 227 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:48,120 can be greatly enriched by those traditions of black people, 228 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:56,480 embodying those aspirations, those unique ways of praying, 229 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:04,200 of loving, and of looking at life and the world, which 230 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:11,760 have been so beautifully summed up in the word soul. 231 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,080 Especially at this moment in her history, 232 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:27,760 because so many of the sentiments of her long history 233 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,480 as a pilgrim people find a vibrant echo 234 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,480 in the folklore and experience of black people. 235 00:29:40,940 --> 00:29:45,940 The consolations and anxieties inspired by God 236 00:29:47,940 --> 00:29:52,540 and captured in sacred scripture by the Psalms 237 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,480 can find a living response in the contemporary Psalms 238 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:11,720 of black people, which in their own way tell the story of oppression and salvation with 239 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,480 liveliness and dynamism. 240 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:27,400 Especially at this moment in her history, because the church knows that something more 241 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:32,680 than structural reform is needed so that her worshiping 242 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,960 congregation, which ought to be alive with the rhythms 243 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:47,120 of God's spirit, will not be, like Ezekiel's vision, 244 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,840 a stagnant sprawl of lifeless bones. 245 00:30:51,840 --> 00:31:04,900 It is at this special moment in history that black peoples who were previously oppressed 246 00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:16,140 within Mother Africa, or scattered and oppressed in exile, have now begun to reestablish their 247 00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:28,940 nationhood, to reestablish their contacts with one another, as we do this evening, to 248 00:31:28,940 --> 00:31:39,060 rediscover that they share in common a manifestation of the Spirit. 249 00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:47,260 It is at this special moment in history when many people are coming to realize that the 250 00:31:47,260 --> 00:32:00,020 culture of black folk is the vehicle for the spirit of God, and that the soulfulness, the 251 00:32:00,020 --> 00:32:12,740 The spirituality, the spiritual dynamism always so evident in happenings among black folk 252 00:32:12,740 --> 00:32:23,700 is an example of what is so frequently lacking in assemblies both within and outside the 253 00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:27,860 church. 254 00:32:27,860 --> 00:32:39,300 One could not have watched the recent National Convention of the Democratic Party without 255 00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:52,580 recognizing that there were only two moments that were genuinely soul-inspiring. 256 00:32:52,580 --> 00:33:02,420 When Barbara Jordan, the black congresswoman from Texas, preached at the beginning, and 257 00:33:02,420 --> 00:33:21,340 when the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr., prayed at the end. 258 00:33:21,340 --> 00:33:34,220 This is the kind of soul stirring that is frequently missing from our liturgical celebrations. 259 00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:44,820 This is the kind of unique gift that black folk want to bring, want to share with the 260 00:33:44,820 --> 00:33:56,380 church. 261 00:33:56,380 --> 00:34:08,920 We want to bring what is unique to us because it is the best that we have. 262 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:21,680 It is our experience of having been uprooted from Mother Africa, of having been transplanted 263 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,780 to a foreign and hostile land. 264 00:34:26,780 --> 00:34:39,720 It is the experience of centuries of oppression when our unique celebration of God's presence 265 00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:49,500 among us gave us life and gave us light and gave us hope. 266 00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:59,940 And it is this unique culture and heritage that we wish to make available to the Church. 267 00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:09,180 We offer it to enrich the worship of God. 268 00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:19,140 Black Catholic communities pray for the grace to renew their devotion to the Gospel, to 269 00:35:19,140 --> 00:35:29,500 be faithful to the gift of grace so that they can share their unique spirit with the entire 270 00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:32,380 Church. 271 00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:43,700 In this spirit of service, with joyful enthusiasm, we invite believing assemblies to learn from 272 00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:49,420 the worship of the black community. 273 00:35:49,420 --> 00:35:55,860 They will find in our experience an inspiration which 274 00:35:55,860 --> 00:36:02,220 typifies what the gift of negritude is all about, 275 00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:07,660 what soul means and can mean for the church. 276 00:36:07,660 --> 00:36:18,020 It is such soul-filling inspiration that black members of the Body of Christ can bring with 277 00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:28,420 them for the uplifting of all Christ's members as they gather round the table of the Lord 278 00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:31,820 for the breaking of bread. 279 00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:42,460 It is such due of the Spirit that can bring life to dry bones. 280 00:36:42,460 --> 00:36:50,360 The gift of blackness can help the Church to produce preachers who can make the Word 281 00:36:50,360 --> 00:37:01,800 of God live, to beget prophets whose burning words can transform our cold hearts of stone 282 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,800 into warm hearts of flesh. 283 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,800 Make the Church have ministers whose skill with words of prayer 284 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,800 will give heaven-bent wings to the heavy thoughts 285 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:23,800 that anchor our hearts to the ground. 286 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,800 We wish that all believers, 287 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:34,800 hear in our testimony of faith and worship the words of the Lord, 288 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,800 speaking to the woman at Jacob's well. 289 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,800 If you thirst, come unto me. 290 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,800 Drink and believe in me. 291 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,800 From within me rivers of living water, 292 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,800 the water of the spirit shall flow. 293 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:08,800 All you who thirst, come to the waters. 294 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,800 Drink your fill of what is good. 295 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:19,800 Come and drink of the spirit, and your soul shall live. 296 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:33,740 Brothers and sisters, a time is coming, and indeed it's already here, when authentic 297 00:38:33,740 --> 00:38:42,260 worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truly. 298 00:38:42,260 --> 00:38:55,060 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. 299 00:38:55,060 --> 00:38:57,060 This is the end of side one. 300 00:38:57,060 --> 00:39:01,100 To hear side two and the remainder of the Mass, turn the

justice where he has fed us full. 104 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:52,280 When that time comes, I know there's going to be plenty good room, plenty good room in 105 00:16:52,280 --> 00:17:02,880 my Father's kingdom for those who come from Africa, from Europe, from Asia, from Australia, 106 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,360 from all over the world. 107 00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:15,360 I know my God has got

00:18:18,360 I'll tell you the reason why. 118 00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:28,360 For if my Lord should call me, I wouldn't be ready to lie. 119 00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:42,360 But I know there's plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom. 120 00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:47,360 Plenty good room, plenty good room. 121 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:53,360 So choose your seat and sit down. 122

00:21:39,360 who worked so hard to make it what it was. 143 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:46,360 It was not all that we wanted it to be. 144 00:21:46,360 --> 00:22:02,360 But it was more than many might have expected. 145 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:17,360 I know that I run the risk of leaving people out when I single out individuals to be thanked. 146 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:40,360 But I must mention, first of all, in general, all our musicians, choirs who came from Baltimore, Washington, 147 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:51,360 and even Philadelphia. 148 00:22:51,360 --> 00:23:06,360 The choir directors, Mr. Bob

And I would hope you would understand if I don't try to go down a whole long enumeration. 151 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:26,360 But there are two people that I must mention by name. 152 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:42,360 One is standing before you here, Father David Benz. 153 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:52,360 Without a superhuman effort to do the impossible in terms of organization that he did, we would not have gotten very far. 154 00:23:52,360 --> 00:24:04,360 And beyond that, I would like to thank a very close personal friend of mine, without whom much of what you see would not be here. 155 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:18,360 And that is Mr. David Comelli. 156 00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:32,360 And I would like to thank all of you who came out to join with us in this festival of the spirit, who came out to drink from this river of living water. 157 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:58,360 I would like to thank in particular our bishops from Africa who came and joined with us on this occasion. 158

Thank you. 161 00:25:44,360 --> 00:26:03,360 It would be wrong if I did not thank in particular the papal legate, Cardinal Knox. 162 00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:21,360 And in a very special way, our presiding celebrant, Cardinal Otunga. 163 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:43,360 Thank you. 164 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:19,360 Let us pray. 165 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:35,360 Lord, you renew us with the one bread that restores the human family to life. 166 00:27:35,360 --> 00:28:03,360 By our sharing in the sacrament of unity, fill us with a strong and unselfish love that we may work for the progress of all peoples and lovingly bring the work of justice to perfection. 167 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:14,360 We ask this through Christ our Lord. 168 00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:53,360 The Lord be with you.

120 00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:43,060 We come into communion. We become one. 121 00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:47,060 And as we receive communion tonight, 122 00:10:47,060 --> 00:10:52,060 I believe the Lord wants us to say a deeper yes 123 00:10:52,060 --> 00:10:55,400 to what not only He's giving to us, 124 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,400 but to what He's asking from us as we approach the Eucharist. 125 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,900 He says, this isn't a game. 126 00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:10,140 There's a deep and powerful reality pulsing in the Eucharist. 127 00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:12,440 Don't take it lightly. 128 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,420 You're approaching the Son of God Himself. 129 00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:19,020 And there's consequences for your life 130 00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:21,620 if you approach the Eucharist lightly. 131 00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:25,620 He doesn't want us to have the old hang-up about, 132 00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:29,620 did I eat food, you know, within an hour before going to Eucharist, 133 00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:33,620 or was I really forgiven ten years ago for that sin, 134 00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:35,620 even though you've confessed it five times. 135 00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:37,620 That's not what he's talking about. 136 00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:43,620 He wants us to come joyfully and freely and confidently to him, 137 00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:47,620 knowing his tremendous love for us and mercy to us 138 00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:50,620 and compassion on our weakness. 139 00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:55,500 but he also wants us to come expecting something to happen 140 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,420 in our life through taking part in the Eucharist 141 00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:01,400 because the Eucharist isn't just a ritual. 142 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,400 It's taking part in the life and person and body and blood 143 00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:10,700 and spirit of our Savior and he's alive 144 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:12,900 and he desires to live in us. 145 00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:20,380 And I believe that we can do that. 146 00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:25,620 that he wants us tonight, when we take the Eucharist, 147 00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:29,400 to say yes to his full plan. 148 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,980 Because the Eucharist isn't just for Catholics. 149 00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:36,100 It isn't even just for all Christians. 150 00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:41,100 The Lord desires that all mankind be reconciled to himself 151 00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:44,200 through his Son. 152 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,580 And when we take part in the Eucharist, 153 00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:51,580 He wants us to say yes for all men coming to Christ. 154 00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:55,980 He wants us to say yes to the full restoration 155 00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:58,860 of the Catholic Church and the complete renewal 156 00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:00,500 of the Catholic Church. 157 00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:05,220 He wants us to say yes to the reunion of all Christians. 158 00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:09,500 And he wants us to say yes to world evangelism, 159 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,020 to bringing the message of Christ, 160 00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:15,620 to raising up Jesus Christ as the only hope 161 00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:17,280 of a perishing race. 162 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:37,140 I believe God wants us to make that yes practical and concrete. 163 00:13:37,140 --> 00:13:45,580 If the Lord's been calling us to himself perhaps for many years and we've never said yes, 164 00:13:45,580 --> 00:13:47,580 We've always been afraid. 165 00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:50,940 We've always felt, I can't do it. 166 00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:55,700 He wants us tonight to believe that indeed by ourselves, 167 00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:58,860 we can't, but with him, we can. 168 00:14:04,020 --> 00:14:09,380 He wants us to cast off the fear and cast off the doubt 169 00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:14,260 and cast off the discouragement and cast off the disappointment 170 00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:18,100 and say, I believe again in the Son of God, 171 00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:21,960 and I know He's able to take care of everything 172 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,400 that I entrust to Him, and I'll do it tonight. 173 00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:30,860 I believe He wants us to make it practical, concrete. 174 00:14:30,860 --> 00:14:35,020 If we've hung back from really joining our lives 175 00:14:35,020 --> 00:14:39,380 with other Christians who desire to live a life 176 00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:43,420 of union with God and service to Him in the world, 177 00:14:43,420 --> 00:14:48,340 I think he wants us to repent, to ask forgiveness, and say, 178 00:14:48,340 --> 00:14:52,420 I'm going to seek out a group of committed Christians 179 00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:54,840 and get over my personality conflicts 180 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,580 and get over my timidity and say, I want to be with you 181 00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:04,020 and offer myself with you to God to use in our neighborhood, 182 00:15:04,020 --> 00:15:05,100 to use in our city. 183 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:18,860 If there's been somebody we've been holding back in talking to about Jesus, 184 00:15:18,860 --> 00:15:22,340 in giving them a book or giving them a tape or whatever, 185 00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:26,860 the Lord wants us in love, guided by His Spirit, 186 00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:33,500 to reach out and to share the good news of the reality of the Son of God 187 00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:39,140 and all the hope that comes to us in him. 188 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Finally, 200 years ago in this city our forefathers as Americans made a 189 00:15:52,760 --> 00:16:00,720 declaration of independence. They declared themselves free of the rule of 190 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,840 Britain and they committed themselves to certain principles and ideals to govern 191 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,720 our nation and I think like probably with all of you I really experienced a 192 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:18,920 renewal of patriotism during the Bicentennial. I became appreciative of 193 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,720 how much God has given to us in our country. 194 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:39,360 At the same time, I became deeply impressed about how deep a commitment many of those 195 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,900 men and women made so that our country might be free. 196 00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:52,840 In that Declaration of Independence, they pledged to commit their lives, their fortunes, 197 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,840 and their sacred honor so that this nation might be born. 198 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,040 And I felt like the Lord was telling me, 199 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,680 what are we willing to commit so that the reign of Christ 200 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,680 may be manifest in our country and in our world? 201 00:17:18,060 --> 00:17:22,220 What are we willing to give so that the kingdom of God 202 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,580 may come more fully and be more firmly established 203 00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:31,920 in our lives and the lives of our brothers and sisters. 204 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,920 I believe God wants us tonight to make a new declaration, 205 00:17:37,220 --> 00:17:41,560 to pledge to him and to his work, 206 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,560 our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. 207 00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:49,940 That means our reputation. 208 00:17:49,940 --> 00:17:52,080 No matter what our neighbors think about us 209 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,400 or going to a charismatic prayer meeting, 210 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,200 we're willing to face that, to grow in Christ, 211 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,700 and to follow the move of his spirit, 212 00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:04,580 and to cast our lot with his work in the world tonight. 213 00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:19,760 Thank you, Lord. 214 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,040 We shall begin our Eucharistic liturgy. 215 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:32,300 This liturgy and prayer meeting sponsored by the National Service Committee of the Catholic 216 00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:37,300 charismatic renewal in cooperation with the officials 217 00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:42,500 and staff of the 41st International Eucharistic Congress. 218 00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:49,660 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, 219 00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:51,520 and the love of God, 220 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,700 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit 221 00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:56,860 be with you all. 222 00:18:56,860 --> 00:18:58,660 And also with you. 223 00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:18,900 Dear friends, we will ask pardon to the Lord for our sins, for the sins of all humanity. 224 00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:31,300 Lord, we ask your pardon because we didn't accept you as our Lord and Savior every day 225 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:33,380 and in every decision. 226 00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:36,140 Lord, have mercy on us. 227 00:19:40,540 --> 00:19:49,220 Lord, we ask your pardon for the division of your church. 228 00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:55,740 We ask your pardon because it was not your wish. 229 00:19:55,740 --> 00:20:00,860 It's your dream that unity should come again. 230 00:20:00,860 --> 00:20:05,860 in union with our brothers who are celebrating now 231 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:12,360 the ecumenical service, Lord, we ask you pardon 232 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,120 for the sins of all your Christians. 233 00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:20,240 Christ, have mercy. 234 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Lord, we ask you pardon because we didn't answer 235 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,080 answer the needs of the world. 236 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,080 What the world is waiting and expecting from us, 237 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:45,100 this is what you are expecting from us. 238 00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:51,100 Christ, we ask your pardon because we didn't answer 239 00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:53,600 to that expectancy. 240 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,400 The Lord have pity on us. 241 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,340 The Lord have pity on us. 242 00:21:00,340 --> 00:21:06,280 May almighty God cleanse us of our sins 243 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,780 and through the Eucharist we celebrate 244 00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:12,280 in such wonderful evening, 245 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,820 make us worthy to sit at his table 246 00:21:16,820 --> 00:21:19,860 in his heavenly kingdom. 247 00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:21,160 Amen. 248 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,360 Amen. 249 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:28,360 First reading from the book of Genesis. 250 00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:36,360 God said, let us make man in our own image, 251 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:44,360 in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, 252 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:52,040 of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild beasts, 253 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,880 and the reptiles that crawl upon the earth. 254 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,480 God created man in the image of himself. 255 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,760 In the image of God, he created him. 256 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,080 Male and female, he created them. 257 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:16,840 God blessed them, saying to them, be fruitful, multiply, 258 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,960 fill the earth, and conquer it. 259 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,960 Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of the heaven, 260 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,000 and the living animals on the earth. 261 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,600 God said, see, I give you all seed-bearing plants that 262 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,560 are upon the whole earth, and all the trees 263 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,840 with seed-bearing fruits. 264 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,480 This shall be your food. 265 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,320 To all wild beasts, all birds of heaven, 266 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,800 and all living reptile on the earth, 267 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,200 I give all the foliage of plants for food. 268 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,200 And so it was. 269 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,120 God saw all he had made. 270 00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,780 And indeed, it was very good. 271 00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:13,160 Evening came and morning came, the sixth day. 272 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,260 This is the word of the Lord. 273 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,560 Second reading, a reading from the letter of Paul 274 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:33,500 to the Ephesians, in whom, through his blood, 275 00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:41,020 we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins. 276 00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:45,580 Such is the richness of the grace 277 00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:54,220 which he has showed on all us in wisdom and insight. 278 00:23:54,220 --> 00:24:01,700 He has let us know the mystery of his purpose, 279 00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:06,700 the hidden plan that he has so kindly made in Christ 280 00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:14,500 from the beginning to act upon when the times 281 00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:17,620 had run their course to the end, 282 00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:22,380 that he would bring everything together 283 00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:27,380 under Christ as head, everything in the heavens 284 00:24:27,380 --> 00:24:32,380 in the heavens and everything on the earth. 285 00:24:32,380 --> 00:24:40,540 And it is in him that we were claimed as God's own, 286 00:24:40,540 --> 00:24:47,100 chosen from the beginning under the predetermined plan 287 00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:51,260 of the one who guides all things, 288 00:24:51,260 --> 00:25:02,220 chosen to be for his greater glory the people who would put their hopes in Christ before 289 00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:04,480 he came. 290 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:15,740 Now you too, in him, have heard the message of the truth and the good news of your salvation 291 00:25:15,740 --> 00:25:18,540 and have believed it. 292 00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:26,720 And you too have been stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit of the promise, 293 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:36,500 the pledge of our inheritance, which brings freedom for those whom God has taken for his own, 294 00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:39,980 to make his glory praised. 295 00:25:39,980 --> 00:25:42,620 This is the word of the Lord. 296 00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:44,620 Thanks be to God. 297 00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:51,620 The Lord be with you. 298 00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:53,620 And also with you. 299 00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:58,620 A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John. 300 00:25:58,620 --> 00:26:00,620 Glory to you, O Lord. 301 00:26:02,620 --> 00:26:09,620 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 302 00:26:09,620 --> 00:26:17,620 Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he cuts away. 303 00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:22,620 And every branch that does bear fruit, 304 00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:28,620 he prunes to make it bear even more. 305 00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:34,620 You are pruned already by means of the word 306 00:26:34,620 --> 00:26:38,620 that I have spoken to you. 307 00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:47,620 Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. 308 00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:52,620 As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, 309 00:26:52,620 --> 00:26:56,620 but must remain part of the vine, 310 00:26:56,620 --> 00:27:02,620 neither can you unless you remain in me. 311 00:27:02,620 --> 00:27:05,620 I am the vine. 312 00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:08,620 you are the branches. 313 00:27:08,620 --> 00:27:13,620 Whoever remains in me, with me in him, 314 00:27:13,620 --> 00:27:16,620 bears fruit in plenty. 315 00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:22,620 For cut off from me, you can do nothing. 316 00:27:22,620 --> 00:27:26,620 Anyone who does not remain in me 317 00:27:26,620 --> 00:27:31,620 is like a branch that has been thrown away. 318 00:27:31,620 --> 00:27:33,620 He withers. 319 00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:38,620 These branches are collected and thrown on the fire, 320 00:27:38,620 --> 00:27:41,620 and they are burned. 321 00:27:41,620 --> 00:27:47,620 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, 322 00:27:47,620 --> 00:27:53,620 you may ask what you will, and you shall get it. 323 00:27:53,620 --> 00:28:00,620 It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit, 324 00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:05,620 and then you will be my disciples. 325 00:28:05,620 --> 00:28:11,620 This is the good news of the Lord. 326 00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:14,620 Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 327 00:28:14,620 --> 00:28:15,620 of God. 328 00:28:15,620 --> 00:28:17,080 Amen. 329 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,080 Thank you. 330 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:39,060 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, 331 00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:44,140 you may ask what you will and you shall get it. 332 00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:52,340 It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit, 333 00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:57,380 and then you will be my disciples. 334 00:28:57,380 --> 00:29:03,060 These are the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 335 00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:05,940 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, 336 00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:06,820 and of the Holy Spirit. 337 00:29:06,820 --> 00:29:08,820 Amen. 338 00:29:13,820 --> 00:29:17,820 My brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, 339 00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:21,820 my brothers, your eminences, your lordships, 340 00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:24,820 your excellencies, reverend fathers, 341 00:29:24,820 --> 00:29:29,820 and brothers and sisters, one and all, 342 00:29:29,820 --> 00:29:33,820 Jesus Christ is the Lord of history. 343 00:29:33,820 --> 00:29:38,820 Jesus Christ is the Lord of the world. 344 00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:43,820 Jesus Christ is the Lord of our lives. 345 00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:51,820 And tonight, Jesus Christ is the Lord of Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. 346 00:29:51,820 --> 00:30:16,160 My first reflection after seeing this stadium was that the Lord has built a giant prayer 347 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:23,240 room. I mentioned this to a priest friend where I am staying and his response was, 348 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:28,280 and isn't it great he left the roof off. 349 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:44,960 There is a divine plan for every situation in the world. Our first 350 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:52,520 reading reminded us of the picture of creation, the concluding words about the 351 00:30:52,520 --> 00:31:00,380 sixth day, the key role that man would play in God's divine plan. And we might 352 00:31:00,380 --> 00:31:08,660 summarize that whole picture with the word harmony. God our Father had a 353 00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:16,520 a beautiful plan for this world. The original plan placed man at the center. 354 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:24,800 We were made in the image of God and havoc came to that pristine glory 355 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:34,280 because Adam must have been from Michigan. He had a better plan. Man did 356 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:43,600 not play his part. And thus, as the second reading pointed out, Jesus became the 357 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:52,520 answer, the center of the divine plan. And we glory, as did Paul, that we are living 358 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:59,760 this final time when we know the divine plan, that all must be under the 359 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:07,720 Lordship of Jesus Christ. That was the second reading. In our third reading, 360 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:18,560 Jesus tells us that he is not the total answer. We are to be part of it. He wants 361 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:26,840 to abide in us and we are to abide in him. Thus the Father will receive glory, 362 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:35,760 thus man will be fruitful, thus we can have a new creation, though earth will be 363 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:43,600 restored to its pristine beauty and harmony. The magnificent plan of the 364 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:52,720 Father is accomplished in His Son, Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy 365 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,720 The Holy Spirit builds us up into the body of Christ 366 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,120 to be a new people of a new covenant 367 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,420 transfused by the blood of Christ. 368 00:33:04,420 --> 00:33:06,840 He abides in us and we in him 369 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,660 inform the community of faith 370 00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:13,880 that makes all things new. 371 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,380 In the Eucharist, we come together 372 00:33:18,380 --> 00:33:21,140 around the table of the Lord 373 00:33:21,140 --> 00:33:25,940 to remember Jesus as Savior and Lord, 374 00:33:25,940 --> 00:33:27,940 to praise the Father, 375 00:33:27,940 --> 00:33:33,580 and to form a new unity in the power of the Holy Spirit. 376 00:33:33,580 --> 00:33:38,180 Thus we are transformed internally 377 00:33:38,180 --> 00:33:41,060 and become the living branches, 378 00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:44,120 united to Jesus and one another, 379 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,860 so that the Father may be praised 380 00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:52,060 the fruit of our collective lives. 381 00:33:52,060 --> 00:34:00,380 There is a simple pattern to the divine plan for making things new. 382 00:34:00,380 --> 00:34:09,700 And every time we come together to celebrate the Eucharist, we reflect that pattern. 383 00:34:09,700 --> 00:34:15,780 The word we use is an old Greek word, epiklesis. 384 00:34:15,780 --> 00:34:23,740 We call upon the power of the Holy Spirit to come upon bread and transform it. 385 00:34:23,740 --> 00:34:31,060 And when the Word of God issues forth, then that bread is transubstantiated. 386 00:34:31,060 --> 00:34:32,580 It is changed. 387 00:34:32,580 --> 00:34:39,720 Jesus comes in our midst and continues to be present with his people. 388 00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:42,680 The pattern is clear. 389 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,900 There is something to be transformed. 390 00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:49,200 The Word of God issues forth. 391 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:55,240 The power of the Holy Spirit is there and we have newness. 392 00:34:55,240 --> 00:35:04,280 This plan of our Father, this pattern of doing things is constantly being revealed to us 393 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,400 in the Scriptures. 394 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:17,020 In the story of creation, we find the wasteland that is earth, the power of the Holy Spirit 395 00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:28,580 rests upon it, the Word of God issues forth and we have creation, this beautiful harmony. 396 00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:35,860 Throughout the Old Testament, we see that pattern continue to be renewed. 397 00:35:35,860 --> 00:35:45,940 And at the moment when God is going to restore all, He sends a messenger to a simple woman, 398 00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:51,800 probably a girl of 15 years, Mary, our mother. 399 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,680 She is open to God's Word. 400 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,980 She receives that message. 401 00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:04,140 She is told that the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon her, and she is transformed, 402 00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:07,340 and Jesus takes flesh. 403 00:36:07,340 --> 00:36:10,620 He comes to live among us. 404 00:36:10,620 --> 00:36:14,380 The divine pattern is underway. 405 00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:20,340 Something new is going to happen on this earth. 406 00:36:20,340 --> 00:36:28,140 When Jesus, after his 30 years of private life, enters the Jordan River, he chooses 407 00:36:28,140 --> 00:36:33,380 to manifest to us the divine pattern. 408 00:36:33,380 --> 00:36:37,380 He goes and hears the word of the Father, 409 00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:39,840 This is my beloved Son. 410 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,580 The Father issues forth a clear word from the heavens. 411 00:36:44,580 --> 00:36:48,540 The power of the Holy Spirit is upon Jesus. 412 00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:51,640 And as he walks forth from the Jordan, 413 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,840 he is filled with the Holy Spirit, 414 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,040 led by the Holy Spirit, 415 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,980 goes in the desert to overcome the powers of evil, 416 00:36:59,980 --> 00:37:03,820 comes out of the desert in the power of the Holy Spirit, 417 00:37:03,820 --> 00:37:06,860 and goes forth to announce to men 418 00:37:06,860 --> 00:37:10,620 that he is anointed with the Holy Spirit. 419 00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:13,460 And then we see the reign of God. 420 00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:17,360 Then we see the kingdom of God 421 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:24,360 proclaim, hearts are moved and God is working a new thing in our midst. 422 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:44,080 At Pentecost, Jesus prepared the apostles for them with his promises. He breathed upon 423 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,080 He breathed upon them and said, 424 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,080 Receive the Holy Spirit. 425 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:54,080 And we know that these men of faith needed something more 426 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,080 as they gathered together to pray in that upper room. 427 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,080 And we watched them transform 428 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,080 as the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon them. 429 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:10,080 We watched them go forth to proclaim the Word of God to men 430 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,840 to men and we watch the church be born. 431 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,720 God is working a new thing. 432 00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:22,520 Creation is being renewed and restored. 433 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:27,480 The end time of the new creation is upon us. 434 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,040 In each of these instances, the power of the Holy Spirit 435 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,200 and the word of God are manifested 436 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,040 as God works his wonders among men. 437 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,340 This is the truth that we hunger for. 438 00:38:44,340 --> 00:38:48,240 This is the truth that is revealed, especially 439 00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,040 in the Eucharist. 440 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,240 And this is what we celebrate this evening. 441 00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:58,440 This divine plan for making things new 442 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,160 is repeated throughout the scriptures 443 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,440 and in the history of the church. 444 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:09,360 And I believe that we can detect this pattern in our own time 445 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:15,160 and the promise of the divine renewal in the Church is upon us. 446 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:25,360 With Vatican II, in response to Pope John's plea that the whole Church be renewed with a new Pentecost, 447 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:33,360 we find there in the Council documents a renewed interest in the Word of God 448 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,660 and in the imagery of the Scriptures. 449 00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:42,580 It's the most consistent pattern about those documents. 450 00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:46,820 And scripture is constantly being quoted. 451 00:39:46,820 --> 00:39:49,460 And if we just take the one document, 452 00:39:49,460 --> 00:39:54,420 the map document of Vatican II, the one on the church, 453 00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:59,660 we find that 132 times, references 454 00:39:59,660 --> 00:40:05,100 made to the Holy Spirit coming in power to renew us. 455 00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:10,100 And this is what reverberates through the church in our day. 456 00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:14,100 This is why we are filled with a sense of hope. 457 00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:18,100 God is restoring his people. 458 00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:21,100 He is following his pattern. 459 00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:26,100 And it is my belief that in the Catholic charismatic renewal, 460 00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:31,100 we see a sign of this renewal and restoration. 461 00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:34,100 and today our hearts desire. 462 00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:52,180 Today our hearts desire is fed in this Eucharist as we come together to praise the Lord and 463 00:40:52,180 --> 00:40:54,580 sing with the psalmist. 464 00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:58,180 that the plan of the Lord stands forever, 465 00:40:58,180 --> 00:41:03,180 the design of His heart through all generations. 466 00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:08,680 Today, thousands of Christians are becoming a renewed people 467 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:14,020 as they experience the power of the Holy Spirit in their life. 468 00:41:14,020 --> 00:41:18,900 The divine pattern for making things new is being repeated 469 00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:23,800 in the personal history of people of faith. 470 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,600 We come here this evening from four corners of the earth. 471 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:35,280 We are uniquely different from one another, and yet we experience the special bond of 472 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,860 unity. 473 00:41:36,860 --> 00:41:42,560 We are one in the Lord Jesus by the power of His Holy Spirit. 474 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:50,240 The Holy Spirit continues to breathe where He will and surprise us, but we can detect 475 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:55,600 an outline of what is happening in the fourth Eucharistic canon 476 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,760 that we pray together this night. 477 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,160 The Holy Spirit makes Jesus present. 478 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:11,300 The Holy Spirit makes us live not for ourselves, but for Jesus. 479 00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:17,920 The Holy Spirit makes us instruments to complete the work of Jesus. 480 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,920 The Holy Spirit brings us the fullness of grace. 481 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,600 The Holy Spirit makes us holy. 482 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,240 The Holy Spirit builds up the church, 483 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:33,500 the body of Christ in unity. 484 00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:38,500 The Holy Spirit makes us a living sacrifice of praise. 485 00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:48,700 praise. It has been revealed to us in the wondrous plan of creation that man 486 00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:54,940 played a central order in the divine order. He alone was made to the image and 487 00:42:54,940 --> 00:43:01,700 likeness of God. We also know that man revolted and entered a state of 488 00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:04,700 of rebellion against the divine plan. 489 00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:10,700 And Saint Luke points out that Mary is the model disciple. 490 00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:14,700 She kneels before God, ready to fulfill his word, 491 00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,700 and under the power of the Holy Spirit, 492 00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:21,700 she says yes to the word of God, 493 00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:25,700 and the word took flesh within her. 494 00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:29,700 Like Mary, we stand beneath the word of God 495 00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:36,700 and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we say yes to God's plan. 496 00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:44,700 Thus Jesus touches us with the reality of his presence now in our daily life, 497 00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:50,700 and we know that newness that came to Mary and proclaim with her, 498 00:43:50,700 --> 00:44:01,340 My soul magnifies the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God my Savior. 499 00:44:01,340 --> 00:44:06,900 This is the end of side one.

Blessed are your eyes, blessed are your ears, because you 27 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:57,560 can be here. The Lord is touching us this evening. 28 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:14,200 We must give God the glory whenever and wherever we detect the freshness and the newness that 29 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,960 the Lord Jesus brings to our lives. 30 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,560 I still recall what happened to me when I received the special blessing of coming to 31 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,320 know Jesus because he touched me. 32 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:36,320 When I read the Word, it became clear that like Jesus, I too am anointed with the Holy Spirit. 33 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,620 All of us are filled and led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. 34 00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:49,720 I experienced a whole new way of life when I learned to let the Word of God go through 35 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:55,560 me instead of going through the Word of God. 36 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:10,500 The bad news of this world gives way to the good news that dispels that darkness and brings 37 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:15,100 the kingdom of God to light. 38 00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:21,800 The Word makes it clear that we must seek the kingdom of God and thus the idolatry of 39 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:29,520 self gives way to the Lordship of Jesus. My plans lead to frustration, 40 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,120 discouragement, fear of rejection. Only Jesus can make things new and I am 41 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:43,320 learning the ministry of non-impedance. When I get out of the way, He increases 42 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,080 and I decrease. 43 00:04:51,800 --> 00:05:02,080 The wonder of it all is that he can use a sinner like me to complete his work. 44 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:10,000 This is the newness that Jesus brings to us as he sends his Holy Spirit upon us. 45 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,200 When the Holy Spirit is released in our lives, we experience the reign of God in 46 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:24,000 in our hearts, then God can use us to reach the hearts of others. 47 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,280 With the unique discernment needed for his office, the Vicar of Christ, Pope Paul VI, 48 00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:40,000 trumpeted a call to evangelization as one of the crying needs of our times. 49 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,840 And in that call to make Jesus the center of all life in the Church, the Holy Father 50 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:53,840 underlies the importance of the Holy Spirit with these words, and I quote, 51 00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:03,840 It must be said that the Holy Spirit is the principal agent of evangelization. 52 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,840 It is He who impels each individual to proclaim the Gospel. 53 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,440 It is He who in the depths of consciousness 54 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,600 causes the word of salvation to be accepted and understood. 55 00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:21,520 But it can equally be said 56 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,940 that He is the goal of evangelization. 57 00:06:24,940 --> 00:06:28,160 He alone stirs up the new creation, 58 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,400 the new humanity of which evangelization 59 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,520 is to be the result. 60 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,580 With that unity in variety which evangelization 61 00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:41,500 which is to achieve within the Christian community. 62 00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:45,780 Through the Holy Spirit, the gospel penetrates 63 00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,380 to the hearts of the world." 64 00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:49,380 End of quote. 65 00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:03,100 It is the Holy Spirit who penetrates hearts. 66 00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:09,420 His power to effect change is constantly referred to in the New Testament. 67 00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:15,300 And as the apostles and early Christians became aware that Jesus anointed them 68 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:20,540 with the power of the Holy Spirit, they moved out with a new boldness, 69 00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:27,340 gave glory to God, and saw Him establish His reign in the hearts of people. 70 00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:30,780 As we put faith in the power of God, 71 00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:35,020 our preaching reaches the hearts of those listening. 72 00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:38,220 I remember well the sleepless nights 73 00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:41,300 that preceded the Sunday sermon. 74 00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:47,220 I used to think that I had to make God's word produce fruit. 75 00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:51,820 Fear of what people would think, fear of looking foolish, 76 00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:53,620 ruled me. 77 00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:57,920 God's power overcomes all such fear. 78 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,860 Now I scatter God's word like seed 79 00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:04,600 and let the Lord produce the fruit. 80 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,440 I need only herald his word with bulbs. 81 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,440 And like Paul, we must proclaim Jesus and him crucified. 82 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,440 If I abide in Jesus and let Jesus abide in me, 83 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,440 in me, then my heralding bears fruit." 84 00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:41,180 When we become witnesses of Jesus instead of self, then He becomes great in us. 85 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Like Mary, I must listen to God's message and be formed by it. Then the power of God 86 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:56,400 the Holy Spirit can fill me so that Jesus can complete his work. Teachers in 87 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:03,120 the Catholic Charismatic Renewal rely on Jesus and it is only the power of the 88 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:10,680 Holy Spirit that builds the kingdom of God. Unless the Lord build the house, we 89 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,440 labor in vain. 90 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:26,440 The fullness of grace comes from living the life of the Blessed Trinity. 91 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:32,440 I am a creature of God, and God loves everyone he creates. 92 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,440 My independence must give way to dependence on him. 93 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,440 My lack of self-esteem must give way to the spirit of a son 94 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,440 that finds his real worth in the love of his father. 95 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:55,400 My sense of unworthiness must give way to Jesus' desire to befriend me. 96 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:02,560 My willful ways must give way to the obedience of my older brother Jesus, who shows me how 97 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:06,500 to submit to the Father in all things. 98 00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:13,880 My face must turn away from the desperate gloom of a world that ignores God to the joyful 99 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:20,880 I have the hope of a bride who chooses to enter a lifelong covenant with Jesus, 100 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,880 for better or worse, to eternity. 101 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,880 My heart must turn away from negative criticism 102 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,880 and be a temple that gives constant glory and thanks to God. 103 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,880 This is the new life of grace, 104 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:44,880 sends me his spirit to bring me that newness. 105 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:59,880 The pursuit of holiness is not popular in today's world. 106 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:05,880 It often attracts derision, rejection, and sometimes false judgment. 107 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,880 Often those pursuing holiness are accused of a certain elitism. 108 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,880 I remember well a simple woman in our own prayer group 109 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,880 who was accused by friends of acting like she was better than they. 110 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,880 And her response was so true. 111 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,880 Oh no, I'm not trying to say that I'm better than you. 112 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,880 I'm trying to say that I'm better than I was. 113 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:50,880 Paul expressed beautifully the place of God's power in his life when he proclaimed, 114 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:58,880 I willingly boast of my weakness, that the power of Christ may rest on me. 115 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,880 Holiness is our way of life. 116 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:10,880 I cannot make myself holy, but I can empty myself of pride and believe in Jesus. 117 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,880 I can repent of sin and receive the forgiveness of Jesus. 118 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,880 I can bring my weaknesses to Him and be healed. 119 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:28,880 I can open myself so that His light can dispel the darkness. 120 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,880 I can let His power overcome my fears. 121 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,880 I can allow His peace, love, and joy to reign in my heart. 122 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,880 I can be open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 123 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,580 Whenever I am willing to repent and empty myself, 124 00:12:47,580 --> 00:12:52,580 I can be filled with newness by the power of the Holy Spirit. 125 00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:56,180 He creates the thirst for holiness. 126 00:12:56,180 --> 00:12:58,580 He transforms me. 127 00:12:58,580 --> 00:13:02,580 And as I learn to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, 128 00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:05,580 He is truly the sanctifier. 129 00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:09,580 The charismatic renewal is reminding us 130 00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:14,580 of the age-old heresy of Pelagianism. 131 00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:17,580 No one can save himself. 132 00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:22,580 Jesus alone comes to the rescue and saves us, 133 00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:26,580 and he sends his Holy Spirit to transform us 134 00:13:26,580 --> 00:13:29,580 with the power of sons. 135 00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:32,580 With the wisdom of long experience, 136 00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:35,580 the age-old psalmist proclaims, 137 00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:44,580 my mouth shall declare your justice, day by day your salvation, though I know not their extent. 138 00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:53,580 I will treat of the mighty works of the Lord, O God, I will tell of your singular justice. 139 00:13:53,580 --> 00:14:02,580 Today I freely and gladly admit that I need the weekly prayer meeting. 140 00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:07,580 Through it, my personal prayer is enriched. 141 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:11,580 I also learn to participate more fully 142 00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:15,580 in the formal structured liturgy of the Church 143 00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:18,580 as we express it this evening. 144 00:14:18,580 --> 00:14:23,580 Now each of the sacraments is a greater source of sanctification 145 00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:27,580 as I turn to them in expectant faith. 146 00:14:27,580 --> 00:14:31,580 The Holy Eucharist is a very special time 147 00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:34,780 when my soul can be healed, 148 00:14:34,780 --> 00:14:39,780 and when my Lord can share His powerful love with me. 149 00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:43,280 The Mass is that special moment 150 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,280 for sharing in the life, death, resurrection, 151 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280 and glorification of Jesus my Lord. 152 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,780 And the great challenge of every day 153 00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:58,780 is to live the Mass as fully as possible. 154 00:14:58,780 --> 00:15:15,660 I believe that something very special is happening here tonight. You know we find 155 00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:23,060 when we go to prayer meetings we like to group the chairs in a circle. Here we 156 00:15:23,060 --> 00:15:28,060 We have that circle, but what is happening is the altar, 157 00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:33,060 the Eucharistic Lord is at the center of that circle. 158 00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:38,060 And this is what we long for in the renewal. 159 00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:39,060 That... 160 00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:48,060 ♪♪ 161 00:15:48,060 --> 00:15:51,060 I believe that the greatest contribution 162 00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:55,060 that the charismatic renewal is making to life in the Church 163 00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:59,060 is the development of Christian communities 164 00:15:59,060 --> 00:16:03,060 and the vital role of praise in the life of Christians. 165 00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:07,060 As one becomes one with the Lord, 166 00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:11,060 he must become one with his brothers and sisters in the Lord. 167 00:16:11,060 --> 00:16:15,060 As we learn to listen to the Lord, 168 00:16:15,060 --> 00:16:19,060 we discover the beauty of the divine plan. 169 00:16:19,060 --> 00:16:26,060 Each of us is incomplete, but we find our wholeness in the body of Christ. 170 00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:30,060 New ministries continue to develop. 171 00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:36,060 Some are evangelists, some are prophets, some have the gift of healing, 172 00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:40,060 some the gift of administration, others the gift of teaching, 173 00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:44,060 others the gift of discernment, others the capacity to serve. 174 00:16:44,060 --> 00:16:47,460 all are instruments of love. 175 00:16:47,460 --> 00:16:50,860 And as we learn to commit ourselves 176 00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:54,980 to lifting each other up in the Lord, we learn 177 00:16:54,980 --> 00:17:01,980 to lay down our lives for our brothers. 178 00:17:07,620 --> 00:17:12,660 This is love, and as people discover how Christians can love one 179 00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:19,180 another in the Lord, then the body of Jesus is built up. The more diverse we 180 00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:25,100 are, the greater is the beauty of the unity that the Holy Spirit affects. The 181 00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:30,540 real source of security for the Christian is not the treasures he can 182 00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:38,020 lay up, but the treasures he can share. The Christian community that results is 183 00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:41,900 is our security, our source of strength. 184 00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:46,420 We cannot survive alone, and we must learn to be part 185 00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:48,620 of the Christian community. 186 00:17:48,620 --> 00:17:53,380 In the Christian community, we experience the kingdom of God 187 00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:56,860 and become living stones of the church. 188 00:17:56,860 --> 00:18:00,820 The great new thing that the Lord is doing in our day 189 00:18:00,820 --> 00:18:05,540 is to show us the great value of covenant communities 190 00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:07,460 and prayer communities. 191 00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:15,140 Now we are beginning to see how these communities can serve the world and become instruments 192 00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:19,580 for social justice and liberation from oppression. 193 00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:28,000 As we learn to serve in communities and as communities, there is truly hope for a profound 194 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,980 renewal in the Church and in the world. 195 00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:49,920 Finally, the Holy Spirit makes us a living sacrifice of praise. 196 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:57,040 Throughout religious history, God has consistently brought progress to men when they were a praising 197 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,900 people, loyal to Him. 198 00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:10,260 Praise puts our ego in its proper place and enthrones the Lord in the center of our heart. 199 00:19:10,260 --> 00:19:17,780 Praise points us outward where we can come into contact with divinity and find ways to 200 00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:21,100 serve others in their needs. 201 00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:26,260 This is the secret of the charismatic renewal. 202 00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:30,260 learn to praise the Lord in all things, 203 00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:34,260 and the power of God is released in their lives. 204 00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:38,260 Jesus continues to praise the Father in his body. 205 00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:42,260 The fruit that first attracted me 206 00:19:42,260 --> 00:19:46,260 to the Charismatic Renewal is praise. 207 00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:49,260 It is its great source of power. 208 00:19:49,260 --> 00:19:53,260 No one of us will ever be free of trials in this life, 209 00:19:53,260 --> 00:20:00,260 but God strengthens us to carry our cross through praise. 210 00:20:00,260 --> 00:20:04,260 The Holy Spirit brings gladness to the heart 211 00:20:04,260 --> 00:20:10,260 so that in all things the Christian can praise the Lord. 212 00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:14,260 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, 213 00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:18,260 with your glory, day by day. 214 00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:29,260 Every Christian is charismatic because each is Christed, anointed with the Holy Spirit. 215 00:20:39,260 --> 00:20:45,260 And the Holy Spirit is not just an auxiliary to our lives. 216 00:20:45,260 --> 00:20:49,660 As I was driving through the streets of Philadelphia today, 217 00:20:49,660 --> 00:20:54,500 I kind of reflected on this. I can remember the days 218 00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,740 when I treated the Holy Spirit someone like 219 00:20:57,740 --> 00:21:01,260 the horn on my car. I used it 220 00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:06,540 in those special moments when I had to get someone's attention. 221 00:21:06,540 --> 00:21:09,700 But what I think we are learning 222 00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:13,540 is that the Holy Spirit is the accelerator 223 00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:17,100 of the car. He's the source of power. 224 00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:20,380 He's the one that the Lord uses 225 00:21:20,380 --> 00:21:27,380 to get us where he wants us. 226 00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:35,180 His light overcomes darkness 227 00:21:35,180 --> 00:21:39,820 and His power frees us to experience salvation. 228 00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:45,820 The Holy Spirit makes Jesus present to the Lord in all things. 229 00:21:45,820 --> 00:21:49,820 He fills us with the newness of divine life, 230 00:21:49,820 --> 00:21:56,820 making us holy and empowering us to be instruments of the divine plan for restoration. 231 00:21:56,820 --> 00:22:02,820 He builds up the body of Christ and fills us with jubilant praise. 232 00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:07,820 Man's hunger for truth is answered by the gift of the Holy Spirit 233 00:22:07,820 --> 00:22:14,820 Holy Spirit and the charismatic renewal flows from this outpouring of the Holy Spirit throughout 234 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,000 the Church today. In jubilation, let us all praise the Lord with one voice and sing together 235 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:31,200 the doxology that completes the great prayer of praise and thanks, the Eucharistic Canon. 236 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:38,200 I ask you to please stand and join me in the priestly song of the people of God. 237 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,200 forever and ever. 238 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,200 Let your spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy, 239 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:20,200 so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. 240 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,200 Before, he was given up to death. 241 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,200 A debt he freely accepted. 242 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,200 He took bread, he gave you thanks, he brought the bread, 243 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,200 gave it to his disciples and said, 244 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,200 take this, all of you, and eat it. 245 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,200 This is my body which will be given up for you. 246 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:53,200 you. 247 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:23,200 When supper was ended, he took the cup. 248 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples and said, 249 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,200 Take this, all of you, and drink from it. 250 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,200 This is the cup of my blood, 251 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,200 the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. 252 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,200 It will be shed for you and for all men, 253 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,200 so that sins may be forgiven. 254 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,200 Do this in memory of me. 255 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:03,200 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 256 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,180 Lord, Lord, we

164 00:29:45,800 --> 00:30:00,880 Elizabeth was here acknowledging that somehow or other, Mary is related to the body, blood, 165 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:08,140 soul and divinity of Christ himself. 166 00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:16,220 Mary was not a priest. 167 00:30:16,220 --> 00:30:30,740 If her divine son wanted women to be priests, he would have made his own mother a priest. 168 00:30:30,740 --> 00:30:45,060 The woman is the symbol of the church. 169 00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:54,300 And though Mary was not a priest, she was able to say the words of consecration as we 170 00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:59,860 priests can never say those words. 171 00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:09,060 Because her body was giving life to the humanity of Christ. 172 00:31:09,060 --> 00:31:21,020 So she could say, as she bore Christ within her, this is my body. 173 00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:29,740 This is my blood. 174 00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:34,740 Mother of the blessed sacraments, pray for us. 175 00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:41,340 Soar. 176 00:31:48,420 --> 00:31:52,820 When the divine child was 40 days old, 177 00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:56,700 she presented him to the temple. 178 00:31:56,700 --> 00:32:05,740 All gifts come from God and therefore should be given back again to God. 179 00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:14,660 She was doing with our blessed Lord what will be happening here in this Mass. 180 00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:24,260 During the offertory procession, representatives of the church will bring sacrificial gifts 181 00:32:24,260 --> 00:32:29,460 to be offered to the heavenly Father. 182 00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:38,140 Mary brought Christ to be offered to the heavenly Father, 183 00:32:38,140 --> 00:32:44,860 Simeon, the old man, being a symbol of the heavenly Father. 184 00:32:44,860 --> 00:32:58,040 Simeon said to her, as he became prophetic, 185 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:05,480 your son is going to have a cross, 186 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,480 a sign to be contradicted. 187 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:19,060 You, you too will be pierced by a sword. 188 00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:22,960 Can any of you mothers imagine bringing your child to the 189 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:30,440 baptismal font and having the priest at the font say to you, 190 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:36,880 your son will die on the gallows and you will have your 191 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,220 and his heart broken. 192 00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:47,560 But that is what Simeon told our Blessed Mother. 193 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,060 Now, let us see what this sword meant. 194 00:33:53,060 --> 00:34:01,200 Your heart will be pierced too with a sword. 195 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,680 When our first parents lost the Garden of Paradise, 196 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:14,020 God stationed an angel with a flaming sword 197 00:34:14,020 --> 00:34:21,160 to guard the tree of life. 198 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:32,840 By that, God meant paradise lost is not paradise destroyed. 199 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,240 that you'll never get back into this paradise 200 00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:42,380 except by the sword, 201 00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:45,480 sacrifice, 202 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,620 shedding of blood. 203 00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:54,160 And the inspiration of it will be a flame, 204 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,360 love itself. 205 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,360 So there seemed to be written across the Old Testament, 206 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,300 as we read in the epistle to the Hebrews, 207 00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:13,440 without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. 208 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,840 It is not easy to get back into paradise. 209 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,280 The Jewish priests for centuries, 210 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,620 the Feast of the Atonement, 211 00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:31,360 would use this sword to slay a lamb. 212 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,760 On the day of atonement, they would take the blood of the lamb 213 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,500 and they would go before this great hyacinth and purple 214 00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:51,380 and crimson curtain, the veil, sprinkle it with blood. 215 00:35:51,380 --> 00:36:03,080 That gave them the right to enter the Holy of Holies, the symbol of paradise. 216 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:13,160 But on Good Friday, when that priest took the blood of a lamb and began to sprinkle 217 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:28,240 that veil? It was rent. From top to bottom. Man could rent it from bottom to top. And 218 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:36,360 amidst the shrieks and the cries of people, the Holy of Holies, which had never been seen, 219 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:48,060 now opened, but that was nothing compared to what was happening on Calvary. A soldier 220 00:36:48,060 --> 00:37:02,020 took a sword, ran it into the heart of Christ. Blood and water came forth, blood the symbol 221 00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:10,980 of our redemption and water the symbol of our regeneration. 222 00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:21,180 And the part or the veil of his flesh, as the epistle of Hebrews puts it, was pierced. 223 00:37:21,180 --> 00:37:25,100 The new holy of holies was revealed. 224 00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:28,300 Paradise was opened. 225 00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:40,140 was now thrown wide its gates, cherubim, sheathe your swords. The sacred heart has 226 00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:53,220 revealed heaven. But when that sword pierced the heart of Christ physically, 227 00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:58,220 it pierced the heart of the mother mystically. 228 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,160 I remember once being in a clinic and seeing a doctor 229 00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:10,300 touch an infant that was held by the mother. 230 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,700 And the infant would cry with pain. 231 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,180 And every time the infant cried, 232 00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:25,180 The mother shook with pain, out of sympathy. 233 00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:32,180 Here were two hearts impaled on a single sword, 234 00:38:32,180 --> 00:38:38,180 the heart of Christ and the heart of Mary. 235 00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:45,180 These two hearts, which were then united in sorrow, 236 00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:50,180 And I believe that this is the basis for the assumption. 237 00:38:53,180 --> 00:38:56,380 Christ's passion as the Son of God, 238 00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:58,500 merited redemption. 239 00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:00,220 Mary as a creature, 240 00:39:01,140 --> 00:39:05,400 shared that passion as much as she could, 241 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,740 and therefore as a creature, 242 00:39:07,740 --> 00:39:10,180 she should be assumed into heaven. 243 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,520 But these pierced hearts, 244 00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:21,180 In our times, I've become related to the Eucharist. 245 00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:29,180 One of the last things that we give to anyone is a heart. 246 00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:36,180 We give them our time, we give them our talents, we give them gifts. 247 00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:40,180 But the last thing is the heart. 248 00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:53,180 And as the world grows old, we've had a revelation of the heart of Christ and the heart of Mary. 249 00:39:53,180 --> 00:39:59,180 And both of them were related to the Eucharist. 250 00:39:59,180 --> 00:40:09,180 On the 10th of June, 1675, our blessed Lord, 251 00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:15,860 holding his heart with a cross on top of it, 252 00:40:15,860 --> 00:40:19,920 said to Saint Margaret Mary, 253 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:27,440 Behold this heart which has loved men so much, 254 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:35,940 and all that I have received is blasphemy, ingratitude, 255 00:40:35,940 --> 00:40:44,420 coldness and contempt in the sacrament of my love. 256 00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:52,960 In the revelation of Fatima, the Immaculate Heart 257 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:59,960 revealed to the children a chalice and a host. 258 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:05,960 And the Immaculate Heart, pierced with his sword, 259 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960 said to the children, 260 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:15,960 Pray to the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity 261 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,960 in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist 262 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:32,960 to make up for all of the outrages and sins that are committed by man in the world today. 263 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:40,960 Joining in love and sympathy with those two hearts, 264 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:57,960 One of the great beauties of this Eucharistic Congress will be, I hope, to stop the de-Eucharistization 265 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:10,400 that is going on in the world today. 266 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:22,840 How often, for example, I have gone into small churches and I've had to look around to find 267 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:33,760 the good Lord in the blessed sacrament. 268 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:41,820 been shoved off in a corner. 269 00:42:41,820 --> 00:43:00,300 And some priest stands there like a tin god. 270 00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:05,300 It almost feels like Mary Magdalene going into many churches today. 271 00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:12,300 They've taken away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him. 272 00:43:12,300 --> 00:43:29,300 Then, too, the number of our people that will go to communion in the state of mortal sin, 273 00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:35,860 in the language of St. Paul, eating, drinking, and judgment unto themselves. 274 00:43:38,020 --> 00:43:44,180 They would not go to address Paul the way they go to Mass. 275 00:43:47,940 --> 00:43:52,180 This is the end of side one.

You will then no longer be my mother. 41 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:39,000 You'll be the mother of everyone that I will redeem. So I call you the beautiful 42 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:47,760 name of woman, the universal mother of the world. 43 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:58,300 The next time, the word, or another time, when our Lord used the word our, was at the 44 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,520 Last Supper. 45 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,280 And here he refers to his mother. 46 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,120 He had already said, my hour. 47 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,280 Now he says, when the woman, in our English translation, 48 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,800 it is a woman. 49 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,520 No. 50 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,080 In the original Greek, it's the woman. 51 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,280 When the woman is in childbirth, she 52 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:41,760 suffers, because her hour has come. 53 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:49,400 But she rejoices when a child is born into the world. 54 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440 In other words, and this is something 55 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,960 I had never thought about until I began preparing 56 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,640 this meditation for this Congress. 57 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,280 She has a holy hour. 58 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:13,280 Now, the Lord was then speaking about it. 59 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,280 Our Lord spoke about that hour on the cross, 60 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,280 when the woman brings forth a child. 61 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:30,280 Our blessed Lord looks down from the cross to his mother, 62 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:43,880 woman, there's your son, John. And to John, there's your mother. Mary at the foot of 63 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:52,960 the cross was the symbol of the church.

We are a crowd from various parts of the Earth. 118 00:15:07,060 --> 00:15:15,060 So to speak, we bring with us and represent the whole world. 119 00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:23,060 In us and for us, the humanity of the five continents is present. 120 00:15:23,060 --> 00:15:31,060 Now and here, the whole earth is the Garden of Olives and the vigil of Passion. 121 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:41,060 In our body and in our soul, the great needs of today's men are reflected and expressed. 122 00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:48,060 The hunger for God and the Spirit, the hunger for truth and justice, 123 00:15:48,060 --> 00:15:53,060 the hunger for freedom and for fraternal understanding, 124 00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:57,060 in short, the hunger for Jesus Christ, 125 00:15:57,060 --> 00:16:01,060 who came down from heaven to satisfy all. 126 00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:07,060 Let us watch to ensure, among men, 127 00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:11,060 the freedom of the Spirit and the primacy of God. 128 00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:15,060 In the fervor of our faith, 129 00:16:15,060 --> 00:16:20,060 Let us also pray for ourselves and for all of humanity. 130 00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:29,060 Let us pray for those who do not believe, do not worship, do not expect and do not love. 131 00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:38,060 United with Jesus, let us offer ourselves in sacrifice of reparation for the sins of the world. 132 00:16:38,060 --> 00:16:50,060 The Lord's invitation to vigilance and prayer was repeated by the Virgin Mary to the shepherds of Fatima. 133 00:16:50,060 --> 00:17:04,060 With Mary, our mother, we remained in worship and supplication before Jesus, who is the bread of life, the host of salvation. 134 00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:11,060 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 135 00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:17,060 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 136 00:17:17,060 --> 00:17:17,900 So, 137 00:17:30,460 --> 00:17:35,460 to the unexpected absence of Cardinal Martinez, 138 00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:40,940 Cardinal Orsi, Archbishop of Naples, 139 00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:45,900 will give the meditation on the second mystery 140 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,020 of the Rosary. 141 00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:52,220 The translation has not been prepared, 142 00:17:52,220 --> 00:17:59,620 so Father Modestus of Loreto, Italy, will translate. 143 00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:04,860 We invite those who are behind the altar 144 00:18:04,860 --> 00:18:10,440 to move to seats towards the front of the altar, 145 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,060 because translations of the meditations 146 00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:19,540 are appearing on the scoreboard. 147 00:18:19,540 --> 00:18:23,420 His Eminence, Curado Cardinal Ursi. 148 00:18:23,420 --> 00:18:48,420 In the second mystery, we contemplate the fragilization of Jesus. 149 00:18:48,420 --> 00:19:06,420 Jesus particularly spies the sin of sensuality. 150 00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:19,060 In a time like ours, of consumism, that is, of materialism of life, 151 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:28,960 the spiritual values are concocted or falsified. 152 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:37,960 That is why the family suffers a lot. 153 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:47,960 In the fever of pleasure, the youth is badly educated. 154 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:05,960 and the life in the family is not as it was before. 155 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,960 and also in international relations. 156 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:39,960 The economy is the one that has the most prevalence 157 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,960 among all other human activities. 158 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:53,960 And it happens that the poor become more and more poor, 159 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,960 the rich become richer and richer, 160 00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:11,960 and so there is still disharmony and struggle between the classes and the peoples. 161 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:22,960 Not only in the family, but also in social life and in the economics, 162 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:29,960 so that nowadays the poor are always poorer 163 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:37,960 and families are not as they were treated before. 164 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:46,960 The Lord gives us to expiate in this our time 165 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,960 this fever of pleasure 166 00:21:50,960 --> 00:22:00,800 in order that we can look at the authentic values of life. 167 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:15,960 May the Virgin Mary give us the grace of overcoming all the corruption that is spreading in our world. 168 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:23,960 May God grant us the grace to overcome this corruption. 169 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:34,960 May Mary grant us the grace to overcome this present bad situation. 170 00:22:34,960 --> 00:23:02,760 And now his eminence, Maurice Cardinal Otunga, Archbishop of Nairobi, will lead the third 171 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,220 decade of the world rosary for the reign of the Eucharistic heart of Jesus among 172 00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:12,600 the nations of Africa through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of 173 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:18,760 His Mother. His eminence will lead the rosary in English. 174 00:23:32,760 --> 00:24:00,920 My brothers and sisters, on this venerable night, we are here in this 175 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:19,480 This venerable stadium which we erected in the honor of our veterans. 176 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:43,200 are our soldiers who gave their lives so that we may live in peace. We may be able to enjoy 177 00:24:43,200 --> 00:25:03,360 goods of the world. We know when a person becomes a soldier he accepts the life and 178 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:10,280 the conditions of a soldier. 179 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:29,960 In the first mystery of today, our Lord accepted his chalice, which his father has given him 180 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:57,720 to drink on our behalf so that we may be able to share in the goodness and life of God himself. 181 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:12,720 In the mystery we are going to imitate, our Lord accepts in a very particular way certain 182 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:37,040 sufferings. His kingship is ridiculed. He is laughed at. His truth is ridiculed.

I was in the area   2 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:26,240 where Jesus Christ was imprisoned the night before he died and they showed me   3 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:38,660 the prison as custom had it at that time and they call this particular one that   4 00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:47,420 they showed me the bottle and it was the shape of a bottle with the neck by which   5 00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:54,980 the prisoner was let down through that neck by a rope or whatever else he   6 00:00:54,980 --> 00:01:01,880 couldn't escape and let down to the bottom. In the bottom of that prison they   7 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:10,300 showed me two areas. One for the worst criminal where he had to stand all the   8 00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:19,180 time. The other is some sort of a stone area where he could lie down and rest.   9 00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:28,180 They said it was where the worst criminal was imprisoned that Christ was there.   10 00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:37,180 So let us turn back the clock to another night, our morning, as real as now,   11 00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:47,940 where a human being was alive and felt suffering and sorrow and rejection and   12 00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:57,060 hatred and injustice and he's in that prison and he was our friend he was our   13 00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:06,860 brother he was more he was God incarnate to take our place to make atonement for   14 00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:17,740 our weaknesses, for our limitations. And so that was a real mourning at five   15 00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:27,460 minutes to two, and later on at three, and later on at four, and later on at five.   16 00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:35,260 And if what they said was true, he was standing at the bottom of the   17 00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:44,740 bottle as they call the prison. That will help you get his thanks for you being at   18 00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:52,260 this time of this morning, twenty hundred years later, believing in him, accepting   19 00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:59,500 him, responding to him, and giving your love and measuring it by your sacrifice.   20 00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:11,500 That's what I want to say in his name to you. The second thing is Mary, his mother.   21 00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:32,240 I was kneeling in St. Peter's three weeks ago. When I go into St. Peter's I go to   22 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:46,680 one place, the Pietà. And there I kneel, and there I grow, and there I receive   23 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:55,640 riches of spirit, and there I find my inspiration to go on. And this three   24 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:08,120 weeks ago when I was there, the thought struck me. How wonderful the man was that   25 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:18,920 made that pieta out of a block of marble, Michelangelo. He had a chisel, he had a   26 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:25,400 a hammer. Inside him, however, he had everything that would put, as Cardinal   27 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:32,360 Carbery said one day to me, that would envelop in that one block of marble the   28 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:45,320 heart, the soul of our faith. And the thoughts said to me, how will you define   29 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:56,260 Mary. How will you describe her? Michelangelo tried, but he couldn't do   30 00:04:56,260 --> 00:05:06,640 justice. And I thought of the other Michelangelos that with paint and with   31 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,640 brushes, made paintings that were masterpieces.   32 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Murillo and the rest of them, great geniuses,   33 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,640 trying to define her, trying to describe her,   34 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,640 trying to bring her to life.   35 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,640 And in Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral   36 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,640 that captures the tourists, that captures the historians.   37 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,160 Another genius, that architect, trying to describe her,   38 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,120 trying to define her.   39 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,120 And so the thought ran along art, sculptor,   40 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,560 writing, singing, songs, paintings, and the rest.   41 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:08,040 Those who did those things were few. They were the giants. What did the likes of   42 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:18,360 you and me do to define her, to describe her, to respect her, to pay our tribute   43 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:34,380 her and I will say they used the tool and they were legion they were our   44 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:43,380 forefathers they were our mothers they were our fathers they were our brothers   45 00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:51,860 they were our sisters and our grandparents and back and back and back   46 00:06:51,860 --> 00:07:00,060 to the Ignatiuses, to the Loyolas, to the St. Therese's, to the little flowers and   47 00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:10,420 to the rest of them but most of all to the woman that pastor once said if I had   48 00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:18,360 the fate of a Breton peasant, I would know everything.   49 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:27,760 To these, I want to say that they surpassed in their definition, in their description,   50 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,720 they surpassed the Michelangelos of the world.   51 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:38,800 And they not only resounded their description of that dear precious daughter of men, the   52 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,940 sister of men, the mother of men, the mother of a God that became incarnate.   53 00:07:45,940 --> 00:07:54,860 They described her, they defined her by the rosary. The rosary was their tool by   54 00:07:54,860 --> 00:08:03,400 which they painted and erected their descriptions of her, their respect for   55 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:11,640 her and their voices telling heaven and earth, Mary you're alive. We will describe   56 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:23,200 you, we will honor you, we will create you. Your delicacy, your refinement, your   57 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:35,060 kindness, your compassion, your faith, your love, your affection, your response to us   58 00:08:35,060 --> 00:08:41,220 and to your God. We will describe you with a tool that will surpass the painters and   59 00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:47,820 the brushes and the stonemasons and the chisels and the hammers. We will shout out to the   60 00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:53,580 heavens and the earth and what we'll say will go out into space so that the   61 00:08:53,580 --> 00:09:00,500 scientists of tomorrow will capture the voices of our ancestors that were legion   62 00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:13,180 filling space with that one or two sentences that is the most out there in   63 00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:21,020 space of all sentences that were ever said upon the earth. And what are they?   64 00:09:21,220 --> 00:09:32,700 The God-given sentences that he described are by Hail Mary, Hail Mary,   65 00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:46,480 Mary, Mary, full of grace, graceful, graceful, an honor to your race, the boast of a   66 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:58,140 tainted race. Your King is with you, your Lord is with you, your God is with you.   67 00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:07,380 Men, women will honor you. Women will accept you as their number one example   68 00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:16,540 and model and image of what a woman is. Great, wonderful, extraordinary, but there's   69 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:21,620 one woman above them all and the women of the earth that came in the   70 00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:27,380 generations before us like the little flower and the great Saint Teresa and   71 00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:38,940 their mothers weren't jealous of her because she isn't ambitious, she isn't   72 00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:47,900 self-seeking, she isn't snobbish, she isn't the elite, she isn't the   73 00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:54,140 sophisticated, she's the woman that didn't want anything else but the love   74 00:10:54,140 --> 00:11:03,660 of her God when it's the Luke put in her mouth. My spirit rejoices in my holy God.   75 00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:14,620 My soul magnifies my God, my love, my Lord, my all. And dear God my Father, don't   76 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:23,220 ask me to say no or yes because whatever you'll ask of me I will say yes to.   77 00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:29,180 These were the women of yesterday and their husbands and their children that   78 00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:38,660 re-echoed across our earth with the holy tool, the greatest tool that defined her,   79 00:11:38,660 --> 00:11:51,900 described her, honored her, pleaded with her over and over and over again because   80 00:11:51,900 --> 00:12:03,180 their needs were more than 50. Their joys were more than 50. Their longings were   81 00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:10,020 more than 50. And they didn't get tired. And they didn't get weary. And they   82 00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:15,300 weren't embarrassed when the little snob laughed at them and said to them,   83 00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:21,260 you're an old woman that has nothing else to do but repeating like a parrot.   84 00:12:21,260 --> 00:12:28,660 But the one that said that measured his ignorance and his absence of faith and   85 00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:38,380 his and his poverty because they knew that with Mary there is never enough.   86 00:12:38,380 --> 00:12:47,600 there is never too much because she's chosen by God not by herself and the   87 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:57,320 great omnipotent God is so infinitely wise that he cannot make a mistake and   88 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:13,000 And in his wisdom, and in his love, he chose that precious daughter of men that the Rosary   89 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,280 never tires describing and defining and doing all other things that sculptors and architects   90 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:28,120 and all the rest of the geniuses couldn't compare with.   91 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:41,200 Holy Mary, Holy Mary, you're holy, you're holy.   92 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,520 Pray for us.   93 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840 Pray for us, Mary.   94 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,360 You have influence.   95 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:57,160 holy Son won't take you lightly. I'll never cease saying to you over and over   96 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:04,440 and over again how much I need you, how much I love you, how much I respect you,   97 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:13,720 how much I admire you, how much I bow before you, our tainted nature's solitary   98 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:21,280 boasts, the mother of our Redeemer, the mother of our Savior, the spouse of our   99 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:29,320 sanctifier, the daughter of our Creator, and all without her asking for it, all   100 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:36,920 without her ambitioning it, but our dear God throwing it at her feet, choosing her   101 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:49,280 from everybody and saying to her, to you, dear little young one, 16, 15, 14, you have   102 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:56,720 such a sensitivity, you have such an awareness of what's real, you have such a conscientious   103 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:06,200 disposition, you have everything so wonderful that I will entrust to you my most beloved   104 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600 treasure of heaven and earth, my son.   105 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,000 Care for him.   106 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200 Watch over him.   107 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,720 Be conscientious about his welfare.   108 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,400 Clothe him.   109 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,480 Cook his meals for him.   110 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,600 Don't let him get lost.   111 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Don't let him get starved.   112 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600 Help him along his journey.   113 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,480 God the Father.   114 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,440 And that precious little girl couldn't say to God the   115 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:46,100 father, no. Behold the handmaid of the Lord, behold this handmaid, behold your   116 00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:53,360 servant, behold your little girl, whatever ever ever you ask of me, be it   117 00:15:53,360 --> 00:16:01,520 the agony, the calvary, the rejections, the exile, to be a refugee running for my   118 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:08,360 life with my little one, be it done to me dear God the Father as you will." That's   119 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,760 the woman, the generations of our ancestors, the simple people, the lovable   120 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:24,120 people, the humble people that Christ's always predilected. The predilect of   121 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:39,400 Christ, the simple, the humble, like you, like you. This is Mary. This is how you   122 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,560 and your ancestors like you described her with that rosary. It's all there. This   123 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:54,540 This is the tool, this is the great tool that surpasses all the tools.   124 00:16:54,540 --> 00:17:08,600 And dearest people, God, like he did to Mary, she didn't ambition it.   125 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,920 Neither did I ambition the role that God gave me.   126 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:24,920 I was shy, I still am, fearful, afraid, wishing anything but what I have to do.   127 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:33,400 Almost 35 years ago, a few months short, on a retreat morning, there wasn't any doubt   128 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:43,300 in my mind when the lightning struck. The family rosary crusade is your job. It's   129 00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:50,740 your lifetime. You don't have to ask counsel to see if you're wrong or right.   130 00:17:50,740 --> 00:17:58,480 I'm answering you. This is your life's work. I'm not a lunatic, dearest people.   131 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,760 I'm not a fanatic, thank God.   132 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:08,080 But I'm as sure as God is alive that on that Sunday morning of January of 42, while on   133 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:16,840 retreat, that lightning strike, the family rosary crusade is your job, that it came from   134 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,180 my God.   135 00:18:19,180 --> 00:18:21,400 And that I didn't say no.   136 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:31,480 But I found myself close to saying no when my superiors gave their permission to go out   137 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:41,900 and try to restore, not to start, but to restore what our grandfathers in this United States   138 00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:43,600 always did.   139 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,360 They gathered their families at the end of the day.   140 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:54,160 And they allowed the rosary reach into their souls and their hearts and their voices and   141 00:18:54,160 --> 00:19:00,600 their hands and their knees and their senses to enable them to cry out,   142 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,560 Dear Holy God, you're alive.   143 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,980 My Holy God, you're alive.   144 00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,640 And you are a father.   145 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,640 You're not a judge.   146 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,280 You're not cruel.   147 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,160 You're not a tyrant.   148 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:23,540 But my rosary tells me to say to my wife and my children, God is our father.   149 00:19:23,540 --> 00:19:25,500 And who is a father?   150 00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:27,200 What is a father?   151 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Why is a father?   152 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:36,320 We know, it'll bore you to say it, but the rosary told our ancestors, that's the God   153 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,120 that's yours.   154 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:53,360 And from their hearts and homes came the Holy Mary, the Hail Mary, the holy will of God   155 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,640 be done.   156 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:01,980 God became our brother, the source of our joy as a result.   157 00:20:01,980 --> 00:20:07,360 That brother of ours saved us and told us to go into the background and hide.   158 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:14,800 And he would go out to the danger and the evil and meet it head on, even though it killed   159 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,200 him to save us.   160 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,840 The redemption.   161 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Our ancestors with the rosary filling their hearts, filling their homes, filling their   162 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:35,480 minds with such thoughts as these, with such sentences as these.   163 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:48,940 that that brother of ours told or showed evil and death and sin that their day   164 00:20:48,940 --> 00:21:00,220 was done when he rose from the dead and conquered death and sin and evil. This is   165 00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:06,620 the rosary of yesterday. This is why the Saints came out of the homes that filled   166 00:21:06,620 --> 00:21:12,420 our earth, that became our missionaries, that couldn't contain their treasures,   167 00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:19,580 but had to go out and be martyred and die in foreign faraway fields to share   168 00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:28,980 what that rosary said to them when they were growing up. And so dearest people,   169 00:21:28,980 --> 00:21:40,840 Almost 35 years ago, God threw upon me that challenge, and my superior said,   170 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:51,440 try it. We'll bless you, we'll back you, we'll support you. And where I was   171 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:58,260 appointed the bishop of that diocese, he said the same, I envy you your zeal. I   172 00:21:58,260 --> 00:22:06,060 will back you, I will bless you. And then I find myself in the little chapel of   173 00:22:06,060 --> 00:22:13,740 the Holy Cross brothers to whom I was chaplain. They were up in their schools.   174 00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:22,140 There was no one in that chapel but the Blessed Sacrament and myself. I'm at the   175 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:28,100 end of the chapel in a little chair. I have all the permissions that I need, all   176 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:32,140 all the authority that would let me go out before the world   177 00:22:32,140 --> 00:22:34,820 and know that I was not a fanatic,   178 00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:36,800 that I was not a lunatic,   179 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,720 that I had the church behind me   180 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,100 in the persons of my bishop and my superior.   181 00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:47,900 But I began to say to myself in that little chapel,   182 00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:50,420 I cannot do it.   183 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:55,500 And I said this very thing in my mind,   184 00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:59,480 If I find myself in a church in Chicago,   185 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,480 and I'm in the pulpit, and I reach down to the pews,   186 00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:08,140 and amongst the parishioners is a man   187 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,200 that has a palace to live in,   188 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800 four or five cars in his garages,   189 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,740 a tremendous bank account,   190 00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:30,020 And he sees this poor little priest in the pulpit, killing himself to say to that man,   191 00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:37,880 the security that you're relying on is like a will of the wisp, like a wisp of straw.   192 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,460 It will flash away in the wind.   193 00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:44,960 It will be burned by the fire and you're in poverty.   194 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:54,960 The only security is when your mind and heart says, God loves my wife and my wife loves   195 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,880 God.   196 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,880 God loves my son and my daughter and they love God.   197 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,360 God loves me and I love God.   198 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:08,560 That's your security, but you'll never get it cheaply.   199 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,320 You'll never get it by wishful thinking.   200 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,680 Christ said, don't ever throw a pearl to a pig.   201 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,400 You have to appreciate God.   202 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,160 You have to appreciate his grace.   203 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,160 You have to earn it.   204 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:30,640 And so that man and his wife cannot have that sureness by just going their merry way.   205 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,640 They must measure it so that it's visible.   206 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:44,880 that the greatest measure is the fidelity to this blessed holy discipline and practice.   207 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:52,120 Where that Father, like his Father before him, at the end of the day gathered his wife   208 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:58,360 and children and with the rosary beads in their hands, drawing out of their hearts everything   209 00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:04,200 that's good and beautiful and true, the things we live by, the faith and the   210 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,240 answers we live by, then you can rise even though that you were as bored and   211 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:16,780 as dry as the Sahara Desert, even though that there was no ecstasy, even though   212 00:25:16,780 --> 00:25:22,840 you rattled off Holy Mary, Mother of God, like a parrot, but you measured your will,   213 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:28,840 you were orientated in the direction of the great almighty God that saw the   214 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:38,080 inability of us to talk with ecstatic joy to one you cannot see. And so I said   215 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:45,640 to myself in that chapel, sitting in that chair, I cannot do this. I cannot do it.   216 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:54,140 But dearest people, I didn't say that in order to escape, in order to get a   217 00:25:54,140 --> 00:25:59,140 rationalization that would allow me to tell my superiors I was a fool.   218 00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:03,640 No, I was determined that this would happen.   219 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:10,140 I got off my chair, I walked up that aisle, I got hold of that tabernacle,   220 00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:18,100 And with the violence that our Lord asked in order to capture heaven, I asked for an   221 00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:20,500 impossible thing from him.   222 00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:22,760 I asked this.   223 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:30,020 I cannot do what's in my heart, the dream that I have of restoring to the American Catholic   224 00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:33,940 family the practice of our ancestors.   225 00:26:33,940 --> 00:26:36,500 I cannot, but you can.   226 00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:46,320 And I'm asking you, I'm obliging you, I'm asking you to give your mother 10 million   227 00:26:46,320 --> 00:27:01,900 American families that cannot be neutral, that somehow or another.   228 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:10,460 people, thanks, that some way or another they will come to know the seven little   229 00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:21,340 words that spells out the world's number one problem and its solution, the family   230 00:27:21,340 --> 00:27:26,540 that prays together, stays together.   231 00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:40,700 I'm talking to our Lord. It's no wonder that the Blessed Sacrament and this   232 00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:45,440 Eucharistic Congress and its relationship to my apostolate, and it's   233 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,820 not mine, it's God's, is connected with the Blessed Sacrament because of what   234 00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:59,340 happened. I was greedy. I didn't stop with America. I said to our Lord, now I want   235 00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:06,540 more. I want you to deliver to this conviction, to this awareness, to this   236 00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:12,660 knowledge that the family that prays together stays together. Every Catholic   237 00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:18,940 home in the world. How long it took me to do that violence, my hands grasping the   238 00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:25,860 tabernacle and I asked it for his mother. Why did I ask it for her? In my naivety   239 00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:37,020 it might be, but in my old age with God directing me I was asking it so that she   240 00:28:37,020 --> 00:28:46,420 would be able to perform more effectively the second role that she got   241 00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:54,620 from the Blessed Trinity. The Father gave her the first role, make a man of my son.   242 00:28:54,620 --> 00:29:03,180 The Son gave her the second role, make a God of my brother. And I asked that   243 00:29:03,180 --> 00:29:09,780 knowing well that if Christ answered me in that sacrament and took the   244 00:29:09,780 --> 00:29:15,340 responsibility on his shoulders and allowed me to be the donkey that would   245 00:29:15,340 --> 00:29:20,620 never refuse, that would go up the hill to the right, to the left, that would never   246 00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:26,580 bite or kick or say I won't, that he would do the job and that his mother   247 00:29:26,580 --> 00:29:32,140 would perform consequently and more effectively the feeding of the hungry   248 00:29:32,140 --> 00:29:38,500 spiritually and believe me the hungry spiritually is worse off than the hungry   249 00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:45,140 physically, that she would be able to feed the starving spiritual son, the   250 00:29:45,140 --> 00:29:53,160 hungry, the naked, the dying, the need of medicines if they prayed that precious   251 00:29:53,160 --> 00:30:04,360 Holy Rosary. Dearest people, were Christ to have answered me that moment when I   252 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:11,320 did that violence, he could have said this,   253 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:23,600 Pat Payton, I like what you're saying but I cannot do what you're asking. I cannot   254 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:30,680 do what you're asking. I cannot make a family pray the rosary. I'm God, your   255 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,260 beautiful soul knows that. But you are asking me the impossible because I honor   256 00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:43,540 the gift I gave. But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll do the next best thing and   257 00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:50,480 more than you ever dreamt of. I'll make the world a little village so that from   258 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:56,360 one end of it to the other, not only the Catholics but the Jewish, the Protestants,   259 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:05,080 the Hindu, the Mohammedan, the Buddhist, the Parsi, the entire human family will   260 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:12,120 come to know that the family that prays together stays together. And so my   261 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:18,360 dearest people, the heavens opened. I know our Lord answered me immediately   262 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:27,400 that he said yes in his way the only way I was wrong but he was right go out to   263 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:34,040 all the world and I would place in your hands the instruments the personnel that   264 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:39,360 will make of this world a little village that nobody can say I never heard this   265 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:48,680 and who fell into my hands in order to accomplish this. The Hollywood stars and   266 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:57,240 the bishops of the earth. The Hollywood stars to soften the ground, the aerial   267 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:03,160 bombardment, the crossing the oceans and the mountains and the continents,   268 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:09,800 harnessing the air, bringing into the hearts and homes of men this tremendous   269 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:18,640 seven-word sentence laden with dynamite to tell anybody that has any sense,   270 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:25,120 I better examine this, I better see this, I better see and examine it in order to   271 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:32,200 save my family from the million escapes that I'm experiencing, the drugs, the   272 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:38,200 dropouts, the rejections, the lack of obedience, the rejection of authority,   273 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:45,760 divorce, abortion, euthanasia, and all of them nothing but symptoms, symptoms of   274 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:51,120 something that's fatal. They're the tops of the iceberg and the tops of the   275 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:56,360 iceberg never sank the Titanic, it was the bottom. And the bottom of our iceberg   276 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,680 is not what we're killing ourselves with committees, with every effort to   277 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:07,240 knock this thing out and it's like Don Quixote. But the family Rosary Crusade and   278 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:12,520 Jesus Christ in that sacrament answering me that day brought it about that the   279 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,900 bishops of the earth with their pastors all united and the Hollywood stars with   280 00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:24,840 their ability to harness through science the airwaves to bring about the bottom   281 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:30,280 of the iceberg would be attacked. The crises of fate. There is a God that's   282 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:37,120 alive, he is alive and he's a trinity and he became incarnate and he died for us   283 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:42,640 as a man and he rose from the dead. When we forget all that then we must escape   284 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:49,360 to the alcohol, to adultery, to the drugs, to divorce, to abortions and to all the   285 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:56,080 rest. But the real, real problem, the bottom of our iceberg is the crises of   286 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:02,440 our faith, the crisis of faith is delivering the escapes to the families.   287 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:10,080 And so dearest people, the bishops of the earth was Christ's answer. Bishop Kidd of   288 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:15,760 London, Ontario the first, at a gathering like this Philadelphia Congress, but it   289 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:23,480 was an honor of Mary. I went there and Bishop Kidd of London, Ontario through   290 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:29,960 one of his pastors brought me to that diocese and all those pastors of all   291 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:36,960 that diocese headed by Bishop Kidd of London, all the teachers united with that   292 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,460 bishop.   293 00:34:53,480 --> 00:35:10,160 gave to the families of London diocese three months of their time, putting everything else   294 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:18,200 in the background except one thing, let us help, let us comfort, let us enlighten, let   295 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:27,560 Let us strengthen, let us come to the rescue of the one only community that we cannot survive   296 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,520 without, the little family.   297 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:36,520 Let us go not just to the elite, let us not go to save the saved, let us begin with the   298 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:44,140 family that needs it most because if we have the faith we'll make Christ change that family.   299 00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:49,680 And so that great bishop lighted a fire that will never go out.   300 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:56,240 The bishops of the earth ever since, since 47 until now, are taking the torch one and   301 00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:59,040 passing it on to the other.   302 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,760 Just now, came from the Philippines on the 30th of June in a little province down in   303 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,460 the south, Leyte.   304 00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:21,620 I saw a sight that is a proof that the shepherd can bring his sheep from the desert to the   305 00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:25,920 green grass if he's truly a shepherd.   306 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:32,240 And I'll say that no matter whether he's a bishop or a pastor.   307 00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:38,480 any shepherd wherever he is if he wants to pay the price in love and leadership   308 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:44,960 and in the ability to oblige Jesus Christ to answer him and to do his work   309 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:52,240 for him can move his starving sheep from the desert sands into the green grasses.   310 00:36:52,240 --> 00:37:05,280 And so in that laity province I saw a rally that the Manila Press estimated to   311 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:16,440 be 500,000 people gathered together with five families, each taking a decade, the   312 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:24,180 resurrection, to lead that multitude in saying to God you're alive, in saying to   313 00:37:24,180 --> 00:37:29,380 Mary, the mother of our Redeemer, in saying to Mary we rely on your   314 00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:37,860 motherhood. Pray for us. And so the rosary is not outmoded. The rosary is not   315 00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:42,900 for old women that has nothing else to do. Those few little whippersnappers   316 00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:49,260 that laugh at it, that measure their emptiness, will rue the day because what   317 00:37:49,260 --> 00:37:56,860 God wills no man can destroy. God put Mary where she is.   318 00:38:02,660 --> 00:38:08,820 And all the efforts of hell will never depose her.   319 00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:14,660 and the rosary is our stepping stone to her intercession and intervention.   320 00:38:14,660 --> 00:38:17,740 But that's Manila, that's the Philippines.   321 00:38:17,740 --> 00:38:24,180 I went to the Cardinal of Cebu.   322 00:38:24,180 --> 00:38:25,580 He was present.   323 00:38:25,580 --> 00:38:27,060 He saw that.   324 00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:33,900 I said, that victory for me is not a victory unless it delivers a thousand more.   325 00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:42,400 I ask you to give to us the best priest you have.   326 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,440 And I mentioned him by name.   327 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,760 Let him leave his parish.   328 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,640 Let him come totally to serve the Philippine church and people.   329 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:59,720 I went up to Manila and I said to the new Cardinal, what happened in Leyte can happen   330 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:03,080 in the whole blessed Philippines.   331 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:09,440 I want the best priest you have to be released to the crusade of the family.   332 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,460 Let him come with us to Latin America.   333 00:39:12,460 --> 00:39:18,260 He will be trained on how to bring the gospel out to the streets through the 15 films on   334 00:39:18,260 --> 00:39:20,260 the mysteries of the rosary.   335 00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:28,160 He will integrate the diocese's power, priests, nuns, and all to give their all to win and   336 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,240 motivate and educate the families to restore what they cannot survive without   337 00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:41,360 God in their midst through prayer. Cardinal Sin said to me immediately,   338 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:49,400 I'll give you the best priest I have, Monsignor Lim. Monsignor, I said to him   339 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:55,800 then, send him to Philadelphia so that he'll get his first taste of what to be   340 00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:01,980 lost in Christ and the sacrament is at this Congress so he's here. Then to go   341 00:40:01,980 --> 00:40:07,280 down to Puerto Rico where that Cardinal and all his bishops for the last year   342 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:13,180 and a half with a great redemptorist priest and two Dominican nuns and about   343 00:40:13,180 --> 00:40:17,420 40 of our sets of Rosary films in the streets of San Juan and the rest   344 00:40:17,420 --> 00:40:24,260 bringing one out of every three out to go to an innate night   345 00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:28,580 appreciation of our redemption and what the rosary says.   346 00:40:30,140 --> 00:40:33,820 And so it isn't a thing of the past, it's a thing of now because   347 00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:40,060 those two Cardinals are now determined after what they saw at Laity   348 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,420 to give a three to a four-year program   349 00:40:43,860 --> 00:40:50,180 to do the same but at the grassroots to the entire Philippines.   350 00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:58,980 I will come to a conclusion as soon as I can and it's this.   351 00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:14,940 The Blessed Sacrament. When I was a little child in this classroom and had   352 00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:25,040 to answer what it was. I could rattle it off. That was one thing, but it was quite   353 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:33,480 another when I was in desperation to get a job done and that I knew so well I   354 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:41,120 couldn't do it. And when I went to the Blessed Sacrament to say, you do it.   355 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:49,160 35 years have passed except for a few months since that day and our blessed   356 00:41:49,160 --> 00:42:00,760 Lord in the sacrament has never ceased but intensely answering that violence   357 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,760 that took me a minute to perform in order to...   358 00:42:10,660 --> 00:42:13,520 I have to go around the bush to tell you what I want.   359 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,240 I gave you a hint of it earlier.   360 00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:20,120 34 and a half years have shown me   361 00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:27,540 how silly it is to worry about statistics,   362 00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:30,660 to worry about memberships.   363 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:37,760 to worry about organization.   364 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:51,000 That our Lord   365 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:57,000 brought it clear to me, right from the beginning,   366 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000 but especially within the last few months,   367 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:16,000 that my job is not to glory in how many families are praying the rosary.   368 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000 That's God's prerogative.   369 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:31,280 My job is to bring the horse to the water. I cannot force him to drink it.   370 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:38,040 But if I say, are the farmer that owns the horse and brings him to the river   371 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:46,240 and the horse refuses to drink it, if the farmer says, okay, never again will I   372 00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:53,080 I bring you to the river. Go back to your pasture and die of the thirst. I'll never   373 00:43:53,080 --> 00:44:03,060 bring you again. I'm giving you what's my life. Our poor Lord is so good, so   374 00:44:03,060 --> 00:44:13,240 lovable, that he'll never cease bringing the horse to the water so that the horse   375 00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:19,920 will know that there is water and someday he'll drink it and live. And so   376 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:26,500 with the whole wide world to throw on the billboards of the highways, to go   377 00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:32,120 into the radio and the television, to go to a lovely Saints like you at this time   378 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:39,080 of the morning, to make apostles of you, is not to do what God cannot do, make   379 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:46,120 families pray but make them aware. Make them aware.   </div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Be as much concerned about that man as   26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,340 about me because he's my brother. That's where you begin and you can answer,   27 00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:35,360 dear father John or Michael, you're ridiculous. He would tar and feather me.   28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:46,180 He would drive me from his house and my answer is, do what I did. Make our Lord   29 00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:52,900 do it and that's the key of our diocesan crusades. The ability of that pastor or   30 00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:59,260 that bishop to do such a violence to God that he has to change the whole face of   31 00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:03,820 the earth and the bishops that put this through will testify that that's right.   32 00:02:03,820 --> 00:02:10,780 And so dear people it's to make an awareness to keep ever aware of all   33 00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:17,020 peoples there is water for you to drink and you don't have to despair and I will   34 00:02:17,020 --> 00:02:20,900 finish with this last little thing.   35 00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:36,060 Some man said to me the other day, I want to do what you say because I want to   36 00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:42,300 protect my children. I'm concerned for my children. I want them to grow up safe and   37 00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:58,060 sane and secure to follow the path of faith. And I said, were I to stand before   38 00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:05,340 a seven-year-old child or her grandfather, the 70-year-old man, with the   39 00:03:05,340 --> 00:03:14,860 pretense that I was able to convert her, able to change her or him, I would be so   40 00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:22,540 laughable, so ridiculous. If I had the pretense and the snobbishness and the   41 00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:31,020 insanity to think that I'm so so above that person, I must convert him. I must   42 00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:36,260 changes ways. That's God's job.   43 00:03:43,940 --> 00:03:55,020 And so the explanation why my security lies and my safety lies and my sureness   44 00:03:55,020 --> 00:04:07,340 relies on the interior conviction that I am the donkey. The driver is the one that   45 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:15,300 has to do the converting, the changing, so long as I do not refuse the bridle or   46 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:25,180 to be guided where to go. Where did I find such a tremendous sureness? Was it   47 00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:30,220 some great priest that taught me in the seminary? Was it some great library book   48 00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:36,380 that I pulled down by accident? Was it some sermon or mission? And my answer is   49 00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:54,760 no, no, no. It was a poor little man in a little village in the mountains of Mayo,   50 00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:05,300 my father, with his wife, my mother, who could not read or write. And every child   51 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:11,140 that God wished them to have, they opened their door and hearts and her womb to   52 00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:18,500 that child. I was away down the line of the nine and when it came to my turn in   53 00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:26,000 God's design to come, my mother and my father didn't stop me coming. They   54 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:37,340 welcome me, even though that they could say his coming will make it harder for   55 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:46,420 those that came before him. He'll take some of their bread. But they did more   56 00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:56,060 than welcoming. They gave me a home of love to live in. They gave me a home of   57 00:05:56,060 --> 00:06:01,780 love to live in for 19 years.   58 00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:11,360 How did they do it?   59 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Buying beautiful clothes?   60 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:20,460 No. My mother had to patch and repatch and repatch my clothes.   61 00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:22,940 I went down to take the cast-off shoes   62 00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:27,780 of the neighboring schoolmaster's boy to fit myself.   63 00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:35,720 There were destitute, two little rooms in a shack.   64 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,860 The kitchen held the bed where the four brothers slept.   65 00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:45,080 But I wouldn't change it for a palace.   66 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,060 It was like Bethlehem.   67 00:06:48,060 --> 00:06:50,020 God was there.   68 00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:51,460 Mary was there.   69 00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:57,760 My father and mother made sure they were there, obliged them to be there, compelled them to   70 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,360 be there, persecuted them daily to be there, so that they wouldn't have a spark   71 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,840 of sensitivity after hearing that humble mother saying, Mary, I believe you're   72 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:17,560 alive, I believe you have a son that's my God, will you take care of these little   73 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:25,280 kids for us, will you bring him into our midst? And so that's what I heard, that's   74 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:32,440 what I saw. That's what made the Holy Home, the happy home, the United Home, the   75 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,920 home of justice, the home of fidelity, the home that like the garden where the   76 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:47,800 roses grow, rich with soil and sun and rain, the family rosary. I die for it. I'm   77 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:54,400 living for it because to that I give, I owe my heaven on earth and it   78 00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,840 It isn't an insane man saying it, but the security that I have of who am I, where am   79 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:07,280 I going, why am I here, what is the Trinity, what is the Blessed Sacrament, who in the   80 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,440 world is Mary, that that blessed rosary more than priests or teachers or bishops or anybody   81 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:22,520 else in that tiny little shack of a home for 19 years burned it into me like the farmer   82 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,600 in Wyoming that uses a red-hot iron to put his name on his calf. That's the   83 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,640 rosary in the family. It taught me. It inspired me. It made a home for me. It   84 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:42,160 branded me. It made me go that road directly to God because Mary was   85 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,920 persecuted and we would judge her if she said no after saying 53 times   86 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,280 the night, our needs to her, our joys with her, our love for her, and for her to turn   87 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:01,820 her back on us. She lifted us in her arms and her eyesight became ours, her purity   88 00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:09,460 became ours, her strength became ours, her love became ours, her powerful prayer   89 00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:14,420 became ours, and in spite of the superficial little annoyances that come   90 00:09:14,420 --> 00:09:20,300 the way to everyone, down deep like the Mississippi, our hearts, the whole nine   91 00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:26,900 kids that were born and trained and formed and fashioned in that little shack   92 00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:32,720 by the Rosary are like the Mississippi River, deep down, solid, safe, and on its   93 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,560 journey to the sea, even though that the waves at the top might say it's full of   94 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:45,700 distress and sorrow. I'll finish with gratitude to you and love for you and I   95 00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:57,180 ask you for one beautiful thing because you're known to the poor prisoner of   96 00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:02,380 2,000 years ago that had to stand through the night to be killed the next   97 00:10:02,380 --> 00:10:10,180 day and he's watching you and he knows you and he'll answer you. Next January   98 00:10:10,180 --> 00:10:17,900 the family Rosary Crusade will be 35 years old.   99 00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:32,940 I want to make the most of it for Mary, to serve her,   100 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:37,820 to help her perform her second role.   101 00:10:39,260 --> 00:10:42,720 And so I have come to the conclusion   102 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:51,720 that I will kill myself to deliver a trilogy for the television of the world,   103 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,220 but especially for the English world,   104 00:10:55,220 --> 00:11:06,520 that will comprise three half hours for Christmas, Passion Week, Easter Week,   105 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,520 when the hearts of men are open.   106 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:18,080 And the three mysteries that I want to recreate,   107 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:24,720 not as a show, but as a prayer, as a spiritual experience,   108 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:34,880 are the three basic truths that gives us the courage to go on.   109 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,880 the incarnation represented by the nativity,   110 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,880 the redemption represented by the crucifixion,   111 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,880 and eternal life for you and me represented by the resurrection.   112 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,880 I want them to be classics.   113 00:11:52,880 --> 00:12:02,880 I want to put into that song, story, prayer, reading, drama.   114 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:12,720 And that it's true, that it's the rosary, that it's three mysteries of the rosary that   115 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:20,800 are, that will be reflective for all peoples.   116 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:36,880 But it's no wonder that the rosary has come down through the centuries, has been in the   117 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:45,720 hands of the saints and the missionaries and the martyrs and the families and the widows   118 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:58,280 and the dying and that of all Christendom it's the most popular prayer.   119 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:11,000 I ask your support in prayer, in prayer that this will happen, this trilogy, and that that   120 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:19,880 to me will be the crown, the thanksgiving, the love to God and Mary for letting me serve   121 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:30,920 them and men for 35 years, the rosary glorified, glamorized, dramatized, prayed, sung, presented   122 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:38,440 in a trilogy that can be repeated every Christmas, Passion Week, and Easter.   123 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,860 I will say a Hail Mary in thanksgiving.   124 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,980 Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee.   125 00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:47,840 Blessed art thou among women   126 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,740 and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.   127 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,080 Glory be to the Father and to the Son   128 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,740 and to the Holy Spirit.   129 00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:05,660 In the name of the Father and of the Son   130 00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:07,660 and of the Holy Spirit, amen.   131 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:37,080 My dear brothers in Christ, let us go spiritually to the Shrine of Loreto in Italy.   132 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Let us go to the humble house of Nazareth where Mary said yes, where the Word was made   133 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:52,440 flesh and dwelt amongst us.   134 00:14:52,440 --> 00:15:02,920 At this moment, before beginning our brief meditation on the Feast of the Yes of Mary,   135 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:11,440 I would like to suggest a change in the third verse of the Angelus.   136 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:23,420 We say, The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.   137 00:15:23,420 --> 00:15:30,080 We should say, And he dwelt amongst us.   138 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:36,080 Here he is, our Savior Jesus Christ.   139 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:46,460 At the opening of this solemn Eucharistic vigil, the priests said the words of the   140 00:15:46,460 --> 00:15:57,120 consecration and Jesus answered, Yes, and the bread was made flesh.   141 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,620 By the grace of Mary, we have Jesus.   142 00:16:01,620 --> 00:16:06,620 By the grace of Jesus, we have the Holy Eucharist.   143 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,760 Oh Lord, tell us where you live, ask the disciples.   144 00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:17,420 We cannot ask, we know.   145 00:16:17,420 --> 00:16:20,160 Here is where he lives.   146 00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:23,300 And many do not know it.   147 00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,300 Many ignore him.   148 00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:34,300 Paul VI at the Eucharistic Congress of Bombay said,   149 00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:39,300 Jesus is here! God is here!   150 00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:48,300 He wanted to be one of us in order to make us like him.   151 00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:53,300 He became food in order to nourish us.   152 00:16:53,300 --> 00:17:02,300 We accept him, we believe in him, we adore him as Mary did in the house of Nazareth.   153 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:09,300 We should carry him within ourselves as Mary did in her womb.   154 00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:16,300 We should bring him to our brothers as we leave this stadium this morning.   155 00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:21,300 just as Mary brought him to Elizabeth,   156 00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:25,660 so that Jesus will be for them their home,   157 00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:27,980 redemption and salvation.   158 00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:34,460 Let us meditate more often on the yes of our Lady   159 00:17:34,580 --> 00:17:38,940 to the plan of God and to the carrying out   160 00:17:38,940 --> 00:17:43,660 of the divine plan, that is on the incarnation,   161 00:17:43,660 --> 00:17:51,740 so as to understand better the sacrament of the love of Jesus, the Holy Eucharist.   162 00:17:52,940 --> 00:18:04,540 In these 10 Hail Marys, we shall ask Mary to help us to be faithful to the yes we say during this Holy Night.   163 00:18:04,540 --> 00:18:14,940 By her yes to the Archangel Gabriel, she gave herself completely to God and has become the   164 00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:18,220 Tabernacle of the Lord.   165 00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:27,180 By the same token, she gave herself without reserve to all of us, becoming the Mother   166 00:18:27,180 --> 00:18:36,760 of the Savior and the Ark of the New Alliance, the Mother of the Eucharist, Our Lady of the   167 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:47,740 Eucharist, as Pope Pius X said. She has become the first tabernacle to give Jesus for our   168 00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:55,900 nourishment. She has become the first monstrance to teach us to be living   169 00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:05,460 monstrances to our brothers. As Mary obeyed God and gave herself to the   170 00:19:05,460 --> 00:19:15,820 service of God and to us, her children, so should we say yes to Jesus who has given   171 00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:25,820 who is giving his life for us, who lives in our midst to help us, to nourish us with his bread of life.   172 00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:37,820 From the house of Nazareth have gone forth the yes of Jesus and Mary, a yes of obedience to God.   173 00:19:37,820 --> 00:19:48,820 and through these yeses we have the incarnation, the redemption, and the Holy Eucharist.   174 00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:50,820 Amen.   175 00:19:50,820 --> 00:19:51,820 All hail Mary.   176 00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:53,820 Our Father who art in heaven,   177 00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:55,820 hallowed be thy name.   178 00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:57,820 Thy kingdom come...   179 00:20:00,820 --> 00:20:03,820 It's been trying hard to rain tonight.   180 00:20:03,820 --> 00:20:07,820 It was pouring rain across the river in New Jersey.   181 00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:10,820 And we expected to see showers here.   182 00:20:10,820 --> 00:20:15,820 But apparently Our Lady is holding back the tears from the sky   183 00:20:15,820 --> 00:20:19,980 as we're trying to dry her tears over the sins of the world.   184 00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:25,120 The second decade of the Rosary will be led   185 00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:27,200 by Father Philip Higgins,   186 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,280 a priest of the Holy Cross Fathers,   187 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,280 who for the first 14 years of his priestly life   188 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,600 was an assistant to Father Patrick Payton   189 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,580 in the Crusade of the Family Rosary,   190 00:20:42,580 --> 00:20:46,300 and who is now chaplain of the Blue Army's National   191 00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,540 Center in Washington, New Jersey.   192 00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:03,540 In this second meditation for the visitation,   193 00:21:03,540 --> 00:21:08,500 the intention will be for the aged and social justice.   194 00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:21,940 I will conduct this with the thought of those who are sick, in hospitals, that are infirm,   195 00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:25,300 and who are dying.   196 00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:37,480 What impulse of love made you hurry to visit your cousin Elizabeth, kind mother, at a moment   197 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,480 when you had every right to rest in the jubilant news   198 00:21:44,460 --> 00:21:49,100 that you would be the mother of the Messiah.   199 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,040 You left the place of your exaltation.   200 00:21:56,120 --> 00:22:01,120 No doubt, the advanced age of Elizabeth   201 00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:03,960 caused you concern.   202 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,960 Your compassionate heart turned toward her.   203 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,960 Elizabeth, in her old age, needed the comfort of your youth.   204 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,840 The child in your womb, conceived by the Holy Spirit,   205 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,480 began his work of redemption by sanctifying John.   206 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:44,600 Your zeal, dear mother, to carry Jesus to others, no matter what the cost,   207 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:52,600 embarrasses us and causes us to blush with shame.   208 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:59,600 We neglect the aged because we are too busy.   209 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:13,600 We permit the generation gap to widen because we do not possess the love to bridge the distance.   210 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:24,600 We permit social injustice because we do not wish to be our brother's keepers.   211 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:35,360 Holy Mary, bring Jesus to us through the merits of your visit to Elizabeth.   212 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:50,760 Obtain for us the graces we need to magnify the Lord by our humility in dealing with our neighbor,   213 00:23:50,760 --> 00:24:04,760 our concern for the aged, our zeal for social justice, and our courage when duty calls for sacrifice.   214 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:11,760 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.   215 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:22,760 We'll be led by Father Armand D'Asseville, a Capuchin father of the New York Province,   216 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:29,160 spiritual director of the Blue Army of Our Lady in New York, who has led the all-night   217 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:36,880 vigils consecutively at St. John's Church in New York City for the past five years.   218 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,240 Armand D'Aseville.   219 00:24:40,240 --> 00:25:07,240 And the third, a joyful mystery.   220 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:20,880 Bethlehem, where the Savior of the world was born in a stable, reminds us of one of our   221 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:28,980 first obligations, to worship and to adore.   222 00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:40,380 This theme of Bethlehem has always been reflected in the Christmas liturgy.   223 00:25:40,380 --> 00:25:43,460 Christ is born for us.   224 00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:47,080 Come, let us adore.   225 00:25:47,080 --> 00:26:00,300 And in the Christmas hymns, O come, all ye faithful, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.   226 00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:12,920 The very first adorer of the newborn Son of God was Mary, his virgin mother, who lovingly   227 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,920 laid him in the manger for all to behold.   228 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,680 Next came St. Joseph, his foster father and guardian,   229 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,520 who is depicted on his knees before him in the manger.   230 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:41,120 And then the angels, the lowly shepherds,   231 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:52,520 young and old, and finally the Magi and their retinue, all wrapped in wondrous   232 00:26:52,520 --> 00:27:04,000 worship. Adoration, therefore, is the dominant sentiment of Christmas. The urge   233 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:16,380 to adore is certainly a great grace, because only believers adore. Only the   234 00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:26,240 faithful know by faith that Christ is the Son of God, true God of true God,   235 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:38,680 begotten, not created. Worthy is he to receive honor and glory and praise, for   236 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:50,000 he is the Son of God become man, the Word made flesh, the Son of God and Mary.   237 00:27:50,000 --> 00:28:00,640 These first and true friends of Christ at the stable of Bethlehem teach us the   238 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:11,340 spirit of adoration. It is a spirit that must become an imminent part and a   239 00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:22,660 constant practice of our lives if we want truly to be like them, his friends.   240 00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:35,900 This Congress reminds us that the Holy Eucharist gives us many chances to adore,   241 00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:46,300 opportunities to worship him by visits to the Blessed Sacrament where the Christ in   242 00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:59,420 the crib is now the Christ in the host, truly and really the same God and Emmanuel.   243 00:28:59,420 --> 00:29:12,620 Here he waits for us to come and to sing to him with the angels, glory to God in the highest.   244 00:29:12,620 --> 00:29:23,600 Here he looks for us as he did for the shepherds to visit our divine neighbor.   245 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:37,280 And here he draws us, as the Magi were drawn, to come, to fall down, and to worship him.   246 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:48,480 Every day at Holy Mass he is lifted high at the consecration and is placed often in the   247 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:58,760 demonstrants for benediction and processions for us to behold and to adore.   248 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:11,760 Is our response one of adoring love, such as marked the worship of Mary, Joseph, the   249 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:21,360 the angels, the shepherds, and the magi on that very first Christmas.   250 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:33,040 And so, as we meditate on the third joyful mystery of the Rosary, ask Our Lady, the newborn   251 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:45,180 Savior's first and most ardent worshiper to teach us to adore him, to glorify him,   252 00:30:45,180 --> 00:30:56,460 and to love him always at Holy Mass, in the Tabernacle, and especially when he is present   253 00:30:56,460 --> 00:31:00,980 within us in Holy Communion.   254 00:31:00,980 --> 00:31:03,780 Our Father, who art in...   255 00:31:03,780 --> 00:31:07,420 The fourth decade of the Rosary   256 00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:12,560 will be led by Father Francis Litz, Redemptorist,   257 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,020 who is the custodian, as it were,   258 00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:18,120 of the body of Blessed John Newman   259 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,760 here in Philadelphia.   260 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,360 Father Litz is the vice postulator   261 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,800 of the cause of Blessed John Newman,   262 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,000 who is believed will soon be canonized,   263 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,700 the third American saint.   264 00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:37,900 Bishop Newman was the first to introduce   265 00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:42,140 the 40 hours devotion in the United States.   266 00:31:42,140 --> 00:31:46,380 Father Litz was one of the first to introduce   267 00:31:46,380 --> 00:31:50,480 the all night vigils in the United States.   268 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,420 And it was at St. ...   269 00:31:53,420 --> 00:31:56,920 Almost said St. John Newman.   270 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,720 in the Blessed John Newman Shrine here in Philadelphia.   271 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,720 Father Litz.   272 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,680 You will now hear the Vice-Postulant   273 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,680 of the Beatification of a Bishop of Philadelphia.   274 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:36,680 The fourth joyful rosary mystery, the presentation of the child Jesus in the   275 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:44,880 temple. So important according to the minds of the church is this fourth   276 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:54,440 joyful mystery of the rosary that it is commemorated 40 days after the birth of   277 00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:04,260 Christ by the entire church each succeeding year on February the 2nd by a   278 00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:13,000 liturgical feast entitled the presentation of the Lord popularly   279 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:24,400 known as Candlemas Day. The reason for this important liturgical feast day is   280 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:34,040 is the clear and detailed narration of this outstanding event in the early days   281 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:42,560 of Christ's life on earth by Saint Luke, the great evangelist of the infancy of   282 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:52,520 Christ. Saint Luke tells us how Mary and Joseph brought the 40-day-old child   283 00:33:52,520 --> 00:34:03,600 Jesus to Jerusalem, so that he could be presented to the Lord. They came also to   284 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:13,680 offer in sacrifice two young pigeons. During the ceremony, a just and pious man   285 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:22,320 named Simeon, entered the temple and inspired by the Holy Spirit, took the   286 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:30,680 child in his arms and blessed God for this great privilege, saying,   287 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:39,320 Now you can dismiss your servant in peace, for you have fulfilled your work.   288 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:49,600 My eyes have seen him who is the glory of your people and a light to all the nations.   289 00:34:49,600 --> 00:35:00,280 Then Simeon said to Mary in prophetic tones, This child is destined to be the downfall   290 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:07,180 and the rise of many, a subject of contradiction.   291 00:35:07,180 --> 00:35:12,180 you yourself shall be pierced with a sword.   292 00:35:12,180 --> 00:35:22,180 St. Luke also mentions the presence in the temple as a witness of this event.   293 00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:32,920 An 84-year-old widow by the name of Anna, who was constantly in the temple, worshipping   294 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:42,340 day and night, and St. Luke tells us how she could not stop thanking God for and   295 00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:52,440 telling others of the privilege that was hers. Tonight, as we meditate on the deep   296 00:35:52,440 --> 00:36:00,260 significance of this mystery of the presentation of the child Jesus in the   297 00:36:00,260 --> 00:36:09,100 Temple, we naturally turn our thoughts to the day of our presentation in the   298 00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:18,980 Temple, the day of our baptism, when our Godparents took us to the church to   299 00:36:18,980 --> 00:36:27,940 present us at the very beginning of our lives to the Lord. On that day of our   300 00:36:27,940 --> 00:36:35,900 initiation into the mystical body of Christ, our grandparents in our name   301 00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:46,180 made an offering for us in the name of our baptismal promises to renounce Satan,   302 00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:55,820 all his works, all his empty promises, to renounce sin so as to live in the   303 00:36:55,820 --> 00:37:04,700 freedom of the children of God, to reject the glamour of evil, and refuse to be   304 00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:13,180 mastered by sin, and to adhere throughout life to the faith of the Church of   305 00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:23,340 Christ. As Mary carried the child Jesus to the temple, so we too were pledged   306 00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:34,580 then at our baptism to carry Christ and his saving doctrine to many, to as many   307 00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:44,940 as possible. Like Christ, we too are destined, each in our own life, by our   308 00:37:44,940 --> 00:37:53,440 Christian life through edification or dis- edification for the rise or the   309 00:37:53,440 --> 00:38:04,080 fall of many. No one goes to their reward in God or to their rejection by God   310 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:13,980 alone. The prophecy of Simeon that a sword of sorrow would pierce Mary's   311 00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:24,560 heart has likewise its echoes in our own personal life, for the cross is the   312 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:34,320 characteristic mark of every Christian life, whose reward we enjoy only after   313 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:42,960 having passed through many tribulations. With Mary, the tabernacle of the Lord, as   314 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:52,320 as our model and guide in bearing with patience and with profit the sufferings,   315 00:38:52,320 --> 00:39:01,200 the hardships, the trials of everyday living, and eventually accepting death as   316 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:11,200 a stepping stone to an ending happy association with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, with   317 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,360 with Holy Simeon, with prayerful Anne.   318 00:39:15,740 --> 00:39:19,240 May this, the greatest of all night vigils   319 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,640 in the history of America,   320 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,560 since that first vigil of the American martyrs   321 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,320 on the Feast of the Assumption at Aureusville, New York.   322 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:59,320 May this all-night vigil encourage each one of us, through Mary's intercession, to remain loyal and true to our presentation in the temple to the promises of our baptism.   323 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,320 Our Father who art in heaven,   324 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,320 hallowed be thy name.   325 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,320 The fifth decade of the Rosary   326 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,320 will be led by Father Hubert Schiffer,   327 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,320 a Jesuit who was eight blocks from ground zero   328 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:26,320 when the atomic bomb exploded 31 years ago today.   329 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:31,320 that is August the 6th when we began the vigil.   330 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:38,320 He was in a house in which there were 16 people including himself.   331 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,320 They are all still living.   332 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:47,320 Every other person within a mile is dead.   333 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:52,320 More than 200 experts have tried to find out   334 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,320 what was different about that house.   335 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:02,320 There was one thing, only one thing that was different.   336 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,320 In that house they said the daily rosary.   337 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,320 Father Schiffer wrote the booklet,   338 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,320 The Rosary of Hiroshima.   339 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,320 At Fatima, Our Lady predicted that if her requests   340 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:27,960 continue to be ignored, the world will go even down the road of war to the annihilation   341 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:36,560 of nations. Father Schiffer is in himself a living proof of that special protection   342 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:45,960 of Our Lady in this atomic age to those who lovingly say her rosary. Let us join with   343 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:52,960 him to pray for America.   344 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:28,760 were killed. He and all 16 people in the house are still alive. He wrote a book,   345 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:36,040 The Rosary of Hiroshima. We listen to it with great attention.   346 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:47,040 Thank you, John, and merci beaucoup, mon père.   347 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:59,040 Dear friends of our blessed mother,   348 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:04,800 especially all of you here who are forming the living   349 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,200 Rosalie at this all-night vigil.   350 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:18,080 I'm very happy to be with you today or tonight.   351 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:25,160 It's a beautiful occasion, a beautiful opportunity   352 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,720 for our blessed mother to show her motherly concern.   353 00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:43,720 So, some years ago, Bishop Sheen, when he was speaking about the Rosary, said,   354 00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:51,720 you know there are all kinds of people who find it difficult to say the Rosary.   355 00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:57,320 You repeat the Hail Mary and another Hail Mary.   356 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,160 And why do you have to repeat that?   357 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,320 And then he added a very beautiful thought.   358 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:14,280 He said, let's not forget that Mary is a woman.   359 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:19,880 And to a woman, you say, I love you.   360 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,560 And she would say, do you really love me?   361 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,560 I say, yes, indeed, I love you.   362 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,040 Do you love me more than anybody else?   363 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,520 Yes.   364 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,760 I love you.   365 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:32,920 I love you.   366 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,040 I really love you.   367 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,920 And I have a strange feeling today.   368 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:47,040 I had a beautiful preparation all typed up.   369 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:55,560 And it just got lost an hour ago.   370 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,120 How it fell out of my pocket, I don't know.</div> Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Audio cassette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When Jesus was 12 years old, Holy 20 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:25,840 Holy Scripture tells us Mary and Joseph, when they went on their pilgrimage to Jerusalem 21 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:34,400 on the Passover feast, took Jesus along. 22 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:46,880 And after they had stayed there for a week, they left the city, assuming Jesus was in 23 00:02:46,880 --> 00:03:01,800 the caravan, and they didn't realize that he had stayed behind in Jerusalem. 24 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,880 And when they found out, they searched for him. 25 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Can you imagine the feelings, the shock Mary must have felt in her heart? 26 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:33,560 God sends her, the Messiah, her baby, somebody she was asked to take care of. 27 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Lord God, where is he? 28 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Lord, I'm sorry. 29 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 What can I possibly say?

35 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:31,880 She's all shook up, as you would expect a mother to be. 36 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Why have you done this to us? 37 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,040 And you know, time and time again, 38 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,820 we ask the same question. 39 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,160 Lord, why do you do things like this? 40 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,800 Why do you permit real grief to come, 41 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,540 particularly to people whom you call close to you? 42 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,400 to ourselves, to people we deeply care for, 43 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,400 God, why do you do this? 44 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,400 And we don't know the answer. 45 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:29,400 The only answer we know is we have to trust God. 46 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:45,400 And so God leads us more and more to a deeper faith, to a more beautiful trust, and to a generous love. 47 00:05:45,400 --> 00:06:03,920 When John Hereford, he's not only the director of the Blue Army, he's also a very wonderful 48 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:10,780 friend of mine, and I'm proud and happy to have him. 49 00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:17,780 When he invited me to join you in this Rosary, he said, 50 00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:25,780 Father, it seems to me it would be a wonderful opportunity 51 00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:31,780 if you could weave in the experience of Hiroshima 52 00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:37,780 into the mystery of the Rosary 53 00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:47,720 and the mystery of how our blessed mother cares for us 54 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,940 and leads us to find Jesus. 55 00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:58,300 Now, John is a great man. 56 00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:05,020 He's close to God, and I'm very happy to follow his suggestion. 57 00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:06,100 I'll make it very brief. 58 00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:17,780 I was in Hiroshima, eight blocks from where 59 00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:19,980 the atomic bomb exploded. 60 00:07:24,420 --> 00:07:30,260 At the time, I really didn't know what happened. 61 00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:32,260 There was a tremendous explosion. 62 00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:43,020 I knew I was seriously wounded, and I knew I was dying. 63 00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:50,940 Whether I would be dead within half an hour, which 64 00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:57,220 seemed most likely, or within two hours, I didn't know. 65 00:07:57,220 --> 00:08:09,380 But I had not the slightest doubt, neither had anybody else, that I would be dead very 66 00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:11,500 soon. 67 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:28,220 I was found and received a little bit of first aid 12 hours later among 1,500 or 1,600 dead 68 00:08:28,220 --> 00:08:34,940 Japanese, piled up all over. 69 00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:44,780 And I was listening while the other Jesuits who had come in to pick me up were discussing 70 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:49,980 – let's bring him out now. 71 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:53,700 We don't know where we are. 72 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,300 We wouldn't find him again. 73 00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,180 We have to give him a funeral tomorrow morning. 74 00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:10,860 That's a beautiful thought, and they carry you out of a burning city for a funeral, your 75 00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:16,900 funeral. 76 00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,820 I made a request. 77 00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:24,380 After all, it was my funeral. 78 00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:39,340 I said, well, somebody please sing the Magnificat in any language, Japanese, Latin, any language 79 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:41,420 at all. 80 00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:51,220 Just sing the Magnificat because my body feels lousy, but my soul is happy. 81 00:09:51,220 --> 00:10:02,820 There were more than 200,000 people dead. 82 00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:13,780 There were thousands of people wounded, many of them crippled for life. 83 00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:23,340 And for the next couple of weeks, when my Jesuit friends ignored the notice outside 84 00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:39,940 my room, no visitors, they came in, peeked in the door and said, are you still alive? 85 00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:45,380 Do you mind if I come in for a moment? 86 00:10:45,380 --> 00:10:51,060 And after four or five months, most of them 87 00:10:51,060 --> 00:10:58,940 felt that I would probably make it, but nobody was sure. 88 00:10:58,940 --> 00:11:04,860 So here I am, and I'm very happy to be 89 00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:09,860 part of this great team praising our Blessed Mother. 90 00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:17,940 And I consider it a privilege that I can now 91 00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:24,140 invite you to honor our Blessed Mother 92 00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:33,460 and to pray to her that she may lead us to find Jesus, 93 00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:41,660 to find him with all our hearts, with a deep love, 94 00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:45,540 and a generosity that knows no bounds. 95 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:49,300 And so let us pray. 96 00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:55,300 Our Father, who art in heaven. 97 00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:04,860 He could not be here himself because of his advanced age, but he sent the 98 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:12,020 International Vice President of the Legion of Mary, Mr. Cummins, who is going 99 00:12:12,020 --> 00:12:19,140 to read the words written by Mr. Duff. I invite the members of the Living Rosary 100 00:12:19,140 --> 00:12:22,140 to remain for this one meditation 101 00:12:22,140 --> 00:12:27,140 and this one last decade of the Rosary of the Night. 102 00:12:27,140 --> 00:12:29,140 Mr. Cummins. 103 00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:36,140 Mr. Cummins will now read the text 104 00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:41,140 written especially by the founder of the Legion of Mary, 105 00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:43,140 Frank Duff. 106 00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:56,140 This meditation is on the Assumption of Our Blessed Lady. 107 00:12:56,140 --> 00:13:02,140 The doctrine of the Assumption has many intriguing features. 108 00:13:02,140 --> 00:13:07,140 It was never controverted in the Catholic Church, 109 00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:15,140 and yet it was defined when there did not seem to be any necessity for that step. 110 00:13:15,140 --> 00:13:24,000 It was, moreover, the most ancient of all the feasts of Our Lady, being the first one 111 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,840 to be separated from her original single feast. 112 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:39,240 That it should have opened up the Marian liturgical flowering shows the completeness of the belief 113 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,520 in the Assumption. 114 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:49,840 The Immaculate Conception was also a modern definition, but, unlike the Assumption, it 115 00:13:49,840 --> 00:14:02,920 had encountered opposition so that a definition was called for. 116 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:09,360 As there was no contradiction in the case of the Assumption, why should the step of 117 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:20,500 defining it be proceeded to at all. Perhaps I may, with due timidity, suggest an explanation. 118 00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:27,940 For possibly one hundred years the doctrine of Our Lady's mediation of all graces had 119 00:14:27,940 --> 00:14:36,340 been receiving increasing attention. Referred to frequently by the Fathers of the Church, 120 00:14:36,340 --> 00:14:38,800 by the saints throughout the ages, 121 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,240 and in the teachings of the more recent popes, 122 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,580 it was stressed in a particular manner 123 00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:53,180 by the institution in 1921 of a feast in its honor. 124 00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:58,900 An additional circumstance which may be held to possess weight 125 00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:02,080 was the birth of the Legion of Mary 126 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,880 three months after the institution of that feast. 127 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,320 Although unaware of the feast, the Legion 128 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,080 built its system on the mediation. 129 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,960 This acquires its importance from the fact 130 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,680 that the Legion is now universal. 131 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,960 It is operating in more than 1,900 132 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,600 of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of the world, 133 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,360 and it comprises persons of every nation, section, 134 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320 and class. 135 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,600 Already, it has produced many martyrs. 136 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,240 It has been highly commended by each pope since its inception, 137 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,720 even from as early as 1931. 138 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,480 that a worldwide society of many million members, 139 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,800 active and auxiliary, 140 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,720 should be found thinking and praying 141 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,480 in the sense of the mediation 142 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,480 has its own special value in the mind of the church 143 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,080 by reason of the axiom, 144 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,400 lex orandi, lex credendi. 145 00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:21,820 There is the further fact 146 00:16:21,820 --> 00:16:26,820 that God is frequently found confirming a doctrine 147 00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:29,980 by a subsequent visible manifestation. 148 00:16:30,980 --> 00:16:35,980 For example, Lourdes, three years after the definition 149 00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:37,980 of the Immaculate Conception. 150 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,020 The Legion came three months 151 00:16:42,020 --> 00:16:44,120 after the Feast of the Mediation. 152 00:16:45,540 --> 00:16:48,580 I have said that the modern trend 153 00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:53,060 was towards the definition of that doctrine. 154 00:16:53,060 --> 00:16:55,900 Many took it for granted that it would be 155 00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:59,300 realized in the near future. 156 00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:03,140 This supposition appeared to be justified 157 00:17:03,140 --> 00:17:08,380 by the definition of the assumption in 1950. 158 00:17:08,380 --> 00:17:12,580 It was reasoned that as the assumption was already 159 00:17:12,580 --> 00:17:18,180 fully accepted, there had to be a special purpose in placing 160 00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:25,900 on the Church's statute book. And what other purpose could there be but the 161 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:33,820 preparing of the way for the mediation? The two are bound together in as much as 162 00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:39,900 the assumption would have to be defined doctrine in order that the mediation 163 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:46,660 might be given that status. If the assumption had not been previously 164 00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:54,300 defined, then it would be necessary as part of the definition of the mediation that it 165 00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:59,060 would include the defining of the assumption. 166 00:17:59,060 --> 00:18:08,420 And one might think, why not proceed in that unified way rather than in two separate stages? 167 00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:15,780 I suggest that it would not do justice to the venerable doctrine of the assumption thus 168 00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:24,060 to treat it as a mere prelude or laying of a foundation for another doctrine. 169 00:18:24,060 --> 00:18:32,020 Be that as it may, the procedure actually adopted by the Holy See was the definition 170 00:18:32,020 --> 00:18:37,100 of the assumption in full state and style. 171 00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:45,780 This left the way open for the expected step of defining of the mediation. 172 00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:50,480 But Pope Pius XII did not take that step. 173 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:57,300 He is understood to have stated privately that there was still much preparatory work 174 00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:04,480 to be done in connection with the mediation and that finality would not be reached during 175 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:14,440 his pontificate. Soon afterwards, the movement towards the mediation was surprisingly reversed. 176 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:23,220 This formed part of the worldwide transformation which coincided with the Council. Everything 177 00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:32,220 became different. There has been a crisis of religion, the uprise of Asia and Africa, 178 00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:40,500 the changing balance of power, the universal anarchy and confusion which seem to be token 179 00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:50,420 chaos. Nevertheless, there are two things which I would regard as certain, one major, 180 00:19:50,420 --> 00:19:59,900 the other minor. The first is that the Catholic Church will enter on the 21st century stronger 181 00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:11,160 than ever. Indeed, as the only thinkable religion. Protestantism has fissured to its ultimate. 182 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:19,060 The non-Christian religions will melt away before the cynical sophistication of that 183 00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:29,580 new world. Alone, the Church, which has survived 20 searing centuries, will live through the 184 00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:38,740 next one and make greater conquests than ever before. The minor development will 185 00:20:38,740 --> 00:20:46,100 be the massive growth of the Legion of Mary. It seems as if it is the Legion 186 00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:53,540 prophesied by St. Louis Marie de Montfort and destined to be the agency for the 187 00:20:53,540 --> 00:21:03,620 mobilises of the people of God projected by the Council. If so, much depends on it and 188 00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:12,860 it must receive such aid as can be given to it. Part of this would lie in the confirming 189 00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:22,340 of the doctrine which is its special driving force, Mary's motherhood of the souls of 190 00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:31,700 the world. If any aspect of the doctrine still needs strengthening, it seems imperative that 191 00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:42,560 this be done, for the Legion is being assailed on the score that its belief in Mary is excessive. 192 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:52,300 Would not the resumption of the interrupted advance towards the mediation serve that purpose? 193 00:21:52,300 --> 00:22:01,460 Moreover it would form the orderly and juicy will to the definition of the assumption of 194 00:22:01,460 --> 00:22:04,420 Our Blessed Lady. 195 00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:08,660 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 196 00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:12,980 Here is the Bishop of Our Lady. 197 00:22:12,980 --> 00:22:20,940 The Bishop's homily will be rendered in English by Father Macias Coelho, one of the 198 00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:26,940 the outstanding Apostles of the message of Fatima in Portugal and the world. 199 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Meus irmãos, quiseram os responsáveis por esta maravilhosa velada noturna que estamos a celebrar, 200 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:52,000 vos dissesse uma palavra simples de saudação, integrada na celebração da Eucaristia, precedida 201 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000 gan y Patriarca Imenentísimo Cardeal de Lisboa. 202 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Faço-o com a maior satisfação. 203 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Costio muito embora da minha pobreza. 204 00:23:12,940 --> 00:23:23,480 Those who organized this all night vigil that we are still celebrating, wanted me to say a word in this mass presided by his eminence, 205 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:29,720 the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon.

253 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,280 Que admira que continue a ser por ela 254 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,280 que até nós ele venha na obra continuada 255 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,280 e sempre renovada da Redenção. 256 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:25,400 This revelation is one of the deepest, although exposed in a childish way. 257 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:34,380 This is the union of the two hearts, the heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary. 258 00:29:34,380 --> 00:29:44,540 The only Mediator, the Mediator between God and mankind wanted to have and wants to have 259 00:29:44,540 --> 00:29:52,180 at his side the Mediatrix, Mediatrix besides the Mediator. 260 00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:59,220 Wasn't it through her that the Redeemer came to us? 261 00:29:59,220 --> 00:30:13,220 I wonder if He wants to have her as Mediatrix of all graces He wants to give us. 262 00:30:16,780 --> 00:30:19,980 Caro Maria, caro Jesus. 263 00:30:19,980 --> 00:30:24,980 binomio de salvação jamais renegado por Deus. 264 00:30:24,980 --> 00:30:29,980 Deus não muda nos designios da sua misericórdia. 265 00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:40,220 heart of Mary and heart of Jesus, binomium of salvation that God wants. 266 00:30:40,220 --> 00:30:47,220 God does not change in His plans, in plans of His mercy. 267 É doutrina tradicional da Igreja, seja seu testemunho solena, 65 268 o célebre dito de São Bernardo, que numa só frase 66 269 compendiava quanto o povo cristão sempre acreditou nesta matéria. 67 270 É que as devoluntas dei, 68 271 oitoto nos haber evoluit per Maria. 69 272 É esta a vontade de Deus, que tudo nos venha por Maria. 265 273 this is the traditional teaching of church and st. bernard, may somebody follow the teaching in the following sentence. 266 274 This is the will of God that we receive everything 267 275 through Mary. 113 276 Fátima, diz um celebrado autor, 114 277 vem unir a devoção 115 278 a devoção do Imaculado Coração de Maria à do Coração Sagrado de Jesus. 116 279 Vem colocar a Cor Redentora junto do Redentor, a Medianeira ao lado do Mediador. 269 280 Fatima is the revelation to the world 270 281 of the universal mediation of Mary, 271 282 a united and subordinated mediation 272 283 of the main Mediator. 273 284 Jesus Christ, as He brought us together 274 285 with Mary in the work of the Resurrection, 275 286 at the top of the Calvary, 276 287 continues to save us and to grant us 277 288 Fátima comes to unite the devotion of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to the Lord Jesus 121 289 Fátima, vem lembrar-nos que Deus nos concede as graças por meio de ambos os corações, 122 290 do mediador e da medianeira. 123 291 yw'r adroddiad o'r mediad universal o Mary, 124 292 mediad unigol i'r mediador prin, Jesus Christus. 125 293 Jesus Christus rhedegu'r bobl gyda Mary 126 294 ac mae'n mynd ymlaen i rannu'r byd trwy ei mawr. 127 295 Fatima nos lemos que Deus nos dá asceitos através dos dois corações, 128 296 o coração do mediador e do coração da mediatrix. 278 297 According to a famous author Fátima compares the devotion of the immaculate heart of mary to the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 279 298 Fatima places the Choradimtrix besides the Redeemer, 280 299 the Mediatrix besides the Mediator. 281 300 Fatima is the revelation 282 301 of the universal Mediation of Mary, 283 302 Mediation united to that of the main Mediator, 284 303 Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ redeemed mankind with Mary and goes on saving the 285 304 world through his mother. Fatima reminds us that God gives his 286 305 graces to us through both hearts, the heart of the mediator and the heart of 287 306 of the Mediatrix. 129 307 Isto, aliás, o sugerira já, nas suas três visitas aos pastorinhos, 130 308 O Anjo de Portugal, o Anjo da Paz, a prepará-los para a grande mensagem trazida pessoalmente pela Mãe de Deus. 131 309 Os corações de Jesus e Maria estão atentos à voz das vossas súplicas. 132 310 Primeira aparição na loca do cabeça. 133 311 Na segunda, junto do poço no quintal do Arneiro, repete, 134 312 Os corações de Jesus e Maria têm sobre vós desígnios de misericórdia. 135 313 A grande oração reparadora que lhes ensina na terceira aparição, 136 314 de novo na loca do cabeço, 137 315 dirigida à Santíssima Trindade, 138 316 termina por estas palavras. 139 317 E pelos méritos infinitos do seu Santíssimo Coração 140 318 e do Coração Imaculado de Maria, 141 319 Peço-vos à conversão dos pobres pecadores. Sempre os dois corações. 295 320 This has been stressed from the first moment by the Angel of Portugal, 296 321 the angel of peace who prepared the seers for the message of Our Lady. 297 322 The angel said, 298 323 The hearts of Jesus and Mary pay attention to your prayers. 299 324 This was said during the first apparition of the angel in Loca do Cabeço. 300 325 In the second apparition, near the well in the garden of Reneiro, the angel said, 301 326 The hearts of Jesus and Mary have upon you plans of mercy. 302 327 The great prayer in reparation the angel teaches the seers in the third apparition 303 328 ends with these words, and by the infinite merits of his most holy heart, and the merits 304 329 of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I ask for the conversion of poor sinners. 305 330 We have always, in Fatima, both hearts. 160 331 Primeiras sextas-feiras, primeiros sábados, 161 332 invenção amorosa dos corações de Jesus e Maria 162 333 para a salvação eterna de muitas almas, 163 334 de todas quantas se quiserem aproveitar desta graça inafável. 306 335 First Fridays, first Saturdays, lovely invention of the hearts of Jesus and Mary, to the eternal 307 336 salvation of several souls, of all souls who want to accept this invitation of Heaven. 168 337 Eu sei que em muitas partes, nomeadamente aqui na América, 169 338 o Exército Azul de Nossa Senhora de Fátima, 170 339 de colaboração, aliás, com outros movimentos apostólicos marianos, 171 340 Está empenhado em larga campanha da celebração mensal das duas providenciais devoções, 172 341 primeiras sextas-feiras do Sagrado Coração de Jesus e primeiros sábados do Coração Imaculado de Maria, 173 342 ligando-as com velada noturna de oração. 315 343 I know that in several parts of the world, especially here in the United States, the 316 344 Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima with some other apostolic movements is promoting a monthly 317 345 celebration of these two providential devotions. First Fridays in honour of the Sacred Heart 318 346 of Jesus and first Saturdays in honour of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, uniting them 319 347 with a whole night vigil. 180 348 Dê-lhe cada um de nós o seu apoio pessoal 181 349 Celebrando-as, tais quais aspediram os dois santíssimos corações 182 350 e procurando por todos os meios que outros, muitos outros, se lhes associem. 183 351 Está nisso a salvação de muitas almas. 184 352 Será este um bom fruto da nossa participação neste 41º Congresso Eucarístico Internacional 185 353 e nesta maravilhosa velada noturna. Assim seja. 322 354 Let us do our best to celebrate these devotions, let us do our best to spread by all means 323 355 these devotions. 324 356 And this is the salvation of several souls, of many souls. 325 357 And this will be a fruit of our participation in this 41st Eucharistic International Congress 326 358 and in this wonderful All-Night Vigil. 327 359 So be it.</div> Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Audio cassette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

gospel according to Saint John. 165 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:53,040 At that time Jesus said I am the bread of life your fathers ate a man in the desert 166 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,040 and have died. 167 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,040 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, 168 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,040 so that if anyone eat of it, he will not die. 169 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,040 I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. 170 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:14,040 If anyone eat of this bread, he shall live forever. 171 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,040 And the bread that I will give is my flesh 172 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,040 for the life of the world. 173 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,440 The Jews on that account argued with one another, saying, 174 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,760 how can this man eat of his flesh to eat this flesh to eat? 175 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,280 And Jesus therefore said to them, 176 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,000 amen, amen, I say to you, unless you 177 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,200 eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, 178 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,360 you shall not have life in you. 179 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:49,360 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life everlasting, 180 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:54,360 and I will raise him up on the last day. 181 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,800 Glory be to you, O Lord. 182 00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:10,300 Glory be to you. 183 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:41,280 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. 184 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:51,040 Beatitudes,

Christ. 186 00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:15,660 You should not be working for perishable food, but for food that remains unto life eternal, 187 00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:21,820 food which the Son of Man will give you. 188 00:28:21,820 --> 00:28:32,040 These are the words of Jesus Christ our Lord as recorded in the Gospel of John, chapter 189 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,240 6, verse 27. 190 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:48,800 This food shall become present upon this altar during the course of this Divine Liturgy. 191 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:58,080 As you come forth to receive the body and blood of the Son of God in the sacrament of 192 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:06,960 the Holy Eucharist, you will be invited to join us in the recitation of the Communion 193 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:15,800 Prayer, the text of which has been distributed to you and which I now read. 194 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:27,460 O Lord, I believe and profess that you are truly Christ, the Son of the living God, who 195 00:29:27,460 --> 00:29:36,380 came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first. 196 00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:45,780 Accept me as a partaker of your mystical supper, O Son of God, for I will not reveal your mystery 197 00:29:45,780 --> 00:29:50,780 to your enemies, nor will I give you a kiss as did Judas, 198 00:29:51,820 --> 00:29:56,160 but like the thief I confess to you. 199 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,160 Remember me, O Lord, when you shall come into your kingdom. 200 00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:06,640 Remember me, O Master, when you shall come 201 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,640 into your kingdom. 202 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,540 Remember me, O Holy One, when you shall come 203 00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:14,940 into your kingdom. 204 00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:20,780 May the partaking of your holy mysteries, O Lord, 205 00:30:20,780 --> 00:30:24,780 be not for my judgment or condemnation, 206 00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:28,780 but for the healing of soul and body. 207 00:30:28,780 --> 00:30:33,780 O Lord, I also believe and profess 208 00:30:33,780 --> 00:30:38,780 that this which I am about to receive 209 00:30:38,780 --> 00:30:42,780 is truly your most precious body 210 00:30:42,780 --> 00:30:47,780 and your life-giving blood, which I pray, 211 00:30:47,780 --> 00:30:52,780 make me worthy to receive for the remission of all my sins 212 00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:57,780 and for life everlasting. Amen. 213 00:30:57,780 --> 00:31:02,780 O God, be merciful to me, a sinner. 214 00:31:02,780 --> 00:31:09,780 O God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me. 215 00:31:09,780 --> 00:31:18,100 O Lord, forgive me, for I have sinned without number. 216 00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:27,580 Our belief in the mystery of the Holy Eucharist, our desire and purpose to receive the Eucharistic 217 00:31:27,580 --> 00:31:35,900 Christ, our profession of faith in the Real Presence, and our sentiments with which we 218 00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:44,900 the Holy Table of the Lord are all included in this communion prayer. 219 00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:54,900 This prayer, developed between the 4th and 14th centuries and composed of five short prayers, 220 00:31:54,900 --> 00:32:00,900 is very suitable to the rite of Holy Communion. 221 00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:09,900 It contains all the necessary elements for pious reception of the Holy Eucharist. 222 00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:16,900 It prepares us for the great encounter with the Eucharistic Christ. 223 00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:26,900 In this communion prayer, just as Peter in Caesarea Philippi professed Christ, 224 00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:30,900 calling him the Son of the Living God, 225 00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:37,900 so we too profess our belief in the divinity of Christ. 226 00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:46,900 At times, it is not enough to believe only in the depths of our hearts. 227 00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:50,900 A public profession is required. 228 00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:55,900 Saint Theophilactus tells us, 229 00:32:55,900 --> 00:33:02,900 for God is not satisfied merely with belief in the soul. 230 00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:06,900 He requires the belief in the mouth. 231 00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:14,900 The humble communicant is mindful of his sins and of his unworthiness. 232 00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:25,900 He professes openly and unashamedly that among all the sinners who Christ came to save, 233 00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:31,900 He is the first and perhaps the most undeserving. 234 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:35,900 And yet, He does not despair. 235 00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:41,900 He knows that Christ came to give life to all, 236 00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:44,900 saints and sinners alike. 237 00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:49,900 He is encouraged by the words of St. Paul, 238 00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:51,900 who wrote to Thymidi, 239 00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:56,900 that Jesus Christ came into the world to save the sinners. 240 00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:01,900 Of these, I myself am the worst. 241 00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:11,400 Theodore of Mopsueitia comments that the sins which come to us from human weakness 242 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:18,900 are not capable of deterring us from the communion of the Holy Eucharist. 243 00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:30,900 With deep humility, the Communicant begs Christ to accept him as a partner of his mystical supper. 244 00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:43,900 He promises to prove himself worthy of this unique distinction and to refrain from doing anything that would render him unworthy. 245 00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:58,900 He even cites the case of the unfortunate apostle Judas, promising never to give Christ the kiss of treason, deceit, or disloyalty. 246 00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:03,060 In contrast to Judas's behavior, 247 00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:08,060 the communicant professes his profound humility 248 00:35:08,060 --> 00:35:11,200 and his unshaken confidence 249 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,200 by repeating the words of the repentant thief, 250 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,200 Remember me, O Lord, when you shall come into your kingdom. 251 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,000 Humility and confidence 252 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,200 must take possession of our souls 253 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:32,200 before we approach the Eucharistic table. 254 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,200 The third part of the Communion prayer 255 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:44,200 expresses the purpose of partaking of the body and blood of Christ. 256 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:49,200 The Holy Eucharist heals the soul and body. 257 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:56,200 If we do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, 258 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,200 you have no life in you. 259 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,040 In conditioning eternal life upon the reception 260 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,880 of his body and blood, 261 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,200 our Lord obviously meant to give a strict command 262 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,540 for the reception of the Holy Eucharist. 263 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,540 The Holy Eucharist is necessary, 264 00:36:22,540 --> 00:36:25,380 but it should be accepted worthily. 265 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:32,200 otherwise it would serve for judgment and condemnation. 266 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:38,200 This remark re-echoes the warning of St. Paul 267 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:44,200 concerning the worthy partaking of the Holy Eucharist. 268 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:50,200 The Apostle of the Gentiles admonished his Corinthian flock 269 00:36:50,200 --> 00:37:02,080 flock to receive the body and blood worthily, with clean hearts and right disposition. 270 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:09,560 Let everyone examine himself before partaking of the heavenly food. 271 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:17,900 St. John is rather strict in commenting on this subject. 272 00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:26,000 We must receive the Holy Eucharist with a pure conscience, with a pure heart, with an 273 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,220 irreproachable life. 274 00:37:29,220 --> 00:37:40,200 Otherwise, we receive to ourselves judgment and condemnation, and punishment and vengeance. 275 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:45,200 Do not wonder, for as food nourishing our body, 276 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,480 if received by a person without appetite, 277 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,300 ruins and corrupts the system 278 00:37:55,300 --> 00:37:59,120 and becomes an occasion of disease, 279 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,120 so surely it is also with respect to the great mysteries. 280 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:13,780 mysteries. Immediately before receiving the body and blood of Christ, the 281 00:38:13,780 --> 00:38:21,120 communicant once again professes his belief in the real presence of Christ 282 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:29,760 under the Eucharistic species. He states once again that he believes and 283 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,760 and professes that the Eucharist which he is about to receive 284 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,840 is truly Christ's most precious body 285 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,180 and his life-giving blood. 286 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,280 He is cognizant of this unique privilege of meeting Christ. 287 00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:56,620 This meaningful and expressive communion prayer 288 00:38:56,620 --> 00:39:01,340 is concluded with the prayer of the publican. 289 00:39:01,340 --> 00:39:06,340 Oh God, be merciful to me, a sinner. 290 00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:11,540 Oh God, cleanse me of my sins and have mercy on me. 291 00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:17,940 Oh Lord, forgive me, for I have sinned without number. 292 00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:23,740 As the all important moment of the meeting 293 00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:27,880 with Christ approaches, the communicant, 294 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,880 with repentance in heart, with confession of his sinfulness, 295 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,800 and with hope for God's mercy, bows down in reverence, 296 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,080 self-forgetfulness, and trust in God. 297 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:50,200 He knows that all those who act in this way 298 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,680 will be justified. 299 00:39:51,680 --> 00:40:04,280 Today, as you recite this communion prayer, this pearl of Eastern Eucharistic devotion, 300 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:13,840 think of the great privilege which is yours when you eat the food of immortality. 301 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:20,720 We Christians seek for a deeper and richer life, 302 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:26,620 and the key to this life is union with Christ. 303 00:40:26,620 --> 00:40:32,060 This union we find in the Holy Eucharist. 304 00:40:32,060 --> 00:40:36,360 We are filled with the sentiments of Christ, 305 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,300 and being fired with the feelings of Christ, 306 00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:45,300 we are united with him and find rest in him. 307 00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:48,300 We are spiritually hungry, 308 00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:53,300 and the Holy Eucharist satisfies our hunger. 309 00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:59,300 We have come to this great city of brotherly love, 310 00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:03,300 where our political freedom was born, 311 00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:09,300 to freely profess our savor in the Holy Eucharist, 312 00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,960 to receive him and to carry him in our hearts 313 00:41:14,340 --> 00:41:17,760 to every part of this great land of ours. 314 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,140 Today, on the threshold of our tricentennial, 315 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,480 in this historical city of Philadelphia, 316 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,820 we publicly make cries in the Holy Eucharist, 317 00:41:32,820 --> 00:41:35,660 our Savior, our Lord, and our life. 318 00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:38,220 and our life. 319 00:41:38,220 --> 00:41:44,020 May the Eucharistic Christ inspire us to discover 320 00:41:44,020 --> 00:41:50,140 and promote effective and upright ways of satisfying 321 00:41:50,140 --> 00:41:53,260 the hungers of the human family 322 00:41:53,260 --> 00:41:54,740 and help us 323 00:41:54,740 --> 00:41:57,940 to bring a new Christian rebirth 324 00:41:57,940 --> 00:41:59,500 throughout the world. 325 00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:00,720 Amen. 326 00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:04,580 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 327 00:42:04,580 --> 00:42:06,580 Amen. 328 00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:43,580 God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you. 329 00:42:43,580 --> 00:43:02,580 Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy. 330 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:51,160 O Lord, O Lord, look down from heaven, and see and visit this vineyard, and see and visit 331 00:43:51,160 --> 00:44:03,160 with this vineyard and perfect that rich young right hand has planted. 332 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:58,160 God have mercy! 333 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:03,160 God have mercy! 334 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:15,160 God have mercy!</div> Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Audio cassette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Brian Herr is associate secretary for international justice and peace at the   86 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,000 United States Catholic Conference.   87 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,920 He's a visiting lecturer in social ethics at the seminary in Boston.   88 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:47,840 He served as a member of the papal delegation at the General Assembly of the United Nations   89 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,680 and an advisor to the American bishops in an extremely difficult task at the Senate   90 00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:56,160 of 1974.   91 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:05,560 He has published widely and in all cases on subjects bound up with the preoccupation of   92 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:10,840 this afternoon's meeting.   93 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:18,960 His most important qualification is that he was born in Boston, where in fact the American   94 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Revolution began.   95 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:29,800 This thought is not widely accepted, but nonetheless, Father Gibbie, to the contrary, notwithstanding,   96 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,320 the nation was established in Philadelphia, but the revolution began in Boston.   97 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,520 And so did the ecological problem, because we threw a bunch of tea into the harbor and   98 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,080 that was the beginning of the whole business that brings us here together.   99 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120 We should have given the tea away.   100 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:55,000 There were people who needed it then.   101 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:07,520 Father Herr.   102 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,880 I want to thank His Eminence for that kind introduction, and since I know he is watching   103 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,260 the clock, I will move immediately to my prepared text.   104 00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:20,840 The task I have been assigned this afternoon is to do a work of moral analysis on some   105 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,660 of the proposed solutions to the world food crisis.   106 00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:29,160 As I approach this task, I have taken for myself certain guidelines.   107 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,400 First, the guideline laid down by Professor James Gustafson, professor of Christian ethics   108 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,320 at Chicago University.   109 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,560 Gustafson argues that the moralist, when he approaches a question of social morality,   110 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:44,240 must approach it through the shape of the problem.   111 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,680 That is to say, there is no ethical response that is apart from the technical data of the   112 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:50,680 problem.   113 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:56,480 Secondly, Gustafson argues that, in fact, there is neither any purely moral answer to   114 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,340 a problem or any purely technical answer to a problem.   115 00:11:00,340 --> 00:11:04,600 Every moral answer must be articulated in terms of the framework of the nature of the   116 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,640 issue one discusses.   117 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:13,160 And every technical answer has its moral premises, its biases, its values, the way it weighs   118 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,860 the characteristics of the problem that we confront.   119 00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:20,720 So I will try and move through the presentation in the following steps.   120 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,360 First, some discussion on the shape of the food problem.   121 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,760 Secondly, a moral analysis of the structure of some of the solutions proposed for the   122 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,760 problem.   123 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,760 Thirdly, a brief discussion on the sources of Christian resources as we as Christians   124 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,280 come together with others in the world to deal with a common problem, the hungry in   125 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:49,680 our midst and the food we have to share with the hungry and with those close to us.   126 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,640 First, a discussion of the shape of the problem.   127 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,640 I think what's important is to stress the nature of the food problem, is to situate   128 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,680 it in the landscape of world politics.   129 00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:05,920 The food problem is one of those issues that today is described as a transnational problem.   130 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,280 That is to say, the problem cuts across every nation in the globe.   131 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,720 No nation is insulated from it.   132 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:19,880 It touches all nations and there is no single nation that can solve it by itself.   133 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,300 Transnational problems have taken on a new visibility in the international system today.   134 00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:30,640 One can trace a whole series of United Nations conferences since the early 60s, all of which   135 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,920 have tried to identify the transnational problems of the day.   136 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,760 There have been the UNCTAD conferences on trade and development, transnational issues,   137 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,400 the UN Conference on the Environment, the UN Conference on Population, on Food, on the   138 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000 Law of the Sea, and on women's issues.   139 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,160 None of those issues is contained within any single country and there is no country, no   140 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:59,280 matter how powerful, that can resist the force, if you will, of the empirical data that touches   141 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,240 those issues.   142 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,880 The important thing about transnational issues is not only that they touch all and they can't   143 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,660 be solved by any single nation, but that they require a higher degree of international cooperation   144 00:13:11,660 --> 00:13:16,040 to deal with these questions than we have been accustomed to expect from nations on   145 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,720 traditional problems of international politics.   146 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,320 Now with that general statement in the background, that we're looking at a transnational question,   147 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,940 that in a sense we can neither escape nor conquer by ourselves, let me try and deal   148 00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:31,860 with some of the specifics of the food problem.   149 00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:37,500 I would place as a general proposition that when one tries to examine at least the immediate   150 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:43,140 impact of the food problem, what strikes one is that we have moved from a situation of   151 00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:49,640 managing surplus to a situation of managing scarcity, at least in worldwide terms.   152 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,980 This statement needs to be qualified.   153 00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:56,900 In the times that we describe as surplus periods, people still went hungry.   154 00:13:57,060 --> 00:14:03,620 In the scarcity era, in which many describe us being in today, scarcity is a relative   155 00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:04,620 factor.   156 00:14:04,620 --> 00:14:10,380 But for the sake of understanding the problem, I think it is arguable to say that we have   157 00:14:10,380 --> 00:14:14,900 moved from a situation of the 60s where the problem, at least for the U.S., was managing   158 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:21,340 surplus to the situation of the 70s where the long-term problem may be managing scarcities.   159 00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:26,700 If one wants to specify the content of what one means by scarcity, let me try and summarize   160 00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:33,220 in statistical terms some indicators of what I mean by moving from surplus to scarcity.   161 00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:40,300 First, if you take as one example of the world food situation, the world reserve, that is   162 00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:47,940 to say, reserves as measured in days of annual grain consumption, in 1961, the globe possessed   163 00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:52,020 a reserve of approximately 105 days' supply.   164 00:14:52,020 --> 00:14:57,460 By 1965, we still had a rather comfortable 91 days' supply.   165 00:14:57,460 --> 00:15:05,300 But by 1973, that global reserve was reduced to 55 days' supply, and by 1975 to 35 days'   166 00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:06,300 supply.   167 00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:10,820 If we try and look at the relationship between a time of surplus and a time of scarcity in   168 00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:16,740 terms of U.S. participation, for example, in food assistance, the following statistics   169 00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:18,340 stand out.   170 00:15:18,340 --> 00:15:23,460 The Public Law 480 program, the Food for Peace program as it is known, that is to say, the   171 00:15:23,460 --> 00:15:29,260 program by which the U.S. shared a significant degree of food over the last 15 years with   172 00:15:29,260 --> 00:15:35,340 others in the globe, in 1961, the value of that program was $1.1 million.   173 00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:39,660 In 1965, it was $1.6 million.   174 00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:44,940 During this period, the U.S. problem clearly was managing surplus food because one of the   175 00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:50,300 reasons for the PL 480 program was that we had a farm surplus that we could not put on   176 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:57,140 the market domestically without depressing domestic prices, and we stored the surplus.   177 00:15:57,140 --> 00:16:01,580 After you stored the surplus long enough, it became, even in economical terms, cheaper   178 00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:03,900 to get rid of it than to continue to store it.   179 00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:08,420 So we were managing surplus in that sense, and the PL 480 program was a program with   180 00:16:08,420 --> 00:16:10,540 multiple motivations.   181 00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:14,660 Part of the motivation was humanitarian, but part of the motivation was economic.   182 00:16:15,380 --> 00:16:19,180 It was one of those rare instances in human history when enlightened economic self-interest   183 00:16:19,180 --> 00:16:22,140 and humanitarian concern intersected.   184 00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:28,260 It is precisely that intersection that rarely occurs in the time of managing surplus.   185 00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:34,260 And so the World Reserve problem indicates we've dropped from 105 days to 35 days supply.   186 00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:46,020 The PL 480 program at $1.6 billion in 1965, by 1973 had fallen to $954,000.   187 00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:47,700 One final statistic.   188 00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:54,500 Global food aid in terms of cereal grains in the mid-'60s was about 16 million tons.   189 00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:58,480 By the mid-'70s, that had dropped to 6 million tons.   190 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,340 In a very sketchy summary statement then, I think the situation is the following.   191 00:17:03,420 --> 00:17:07,780 Although the stark possibility of famine, which faced parts of the world in the years   192 00:17:07,780 --> 00:17:14,340 1973 and 74, although that possibility is not as visibly with us at this time, the general   193 00:17:14,340 --> 00:17:19,580 condition of the 400 million people usually identified as malnourished in the globe has   194 00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:25,700 not been either significantly improved, nor are they significantly more secure today in   195 00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:32,540 terms of their daily diet against unexpected climatic changes or economic disruption.   196 00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:37,380 As one looks at the statistics of the food problem, it seems there are two basic issues   197 00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:39,820 facing the transnational problem.   198 00:17:39,820 --> 00:17:44,380 First, the issue of production, and secondly, the issue of distribution.   199 00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:50,420 As we face the 1976 harvest, the production issue looks better than it has in the early   200 00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:51,420 60s.   201 00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:57,580 It is expected that this year, the global productivity will be about 1.3 billion tons.   202 00:17:57,580 --> 00:18:01,980 But the distribution problem is far more delicate and far more complex.   203 00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:05,580 Mr. Martin McLaughlin of the Overseas Development Council, who has written extensively on the   204 00:18:05,580 --> 00:18:10,420 world food problem, specifies the difficulty and the complexity of the distribution issue   205 00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:11,420 when he says,   206 00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:16,540 "...the real crisis in the food issue is one of distribution, especially distribution   207 00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:17,940 of income.   208 00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:23,260 One major weakness of past programs is that they have largely ignored this controversial   209 00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:24,640 issue.   210 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,220 Distribution decisions, after all, are made by politicians who decide either to allocate   211 00:18:29,220 --> 00:18:31,940 or to let the market allocate.   212 00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:35,820 These are political decisions, decisions that are beyond the realm of economics and   213 00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:41,420 technology alone, because these decisions require changes in social values and political   214 00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:42,420 power."   215 00:18:42,420 --> 00:18:47,020 I will return to the distribution issue in the moral analysis.   216 00:18:47,020 --> 00:18:52,660 As a result of the changing shape of the food landscape in the early 70s, the situation   217 00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:59,860 of managing scarcity, there was, in the international community, an increased concern with simply   218 00:18:59,860 --> 00:19:02,620 the empirical facts of the food problem.   219 00:19:02,620 --> 00:19:06,540 And the World Food Conference, held under the sponsorship of the United Nations in Rome   220 00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:14,220 in 1974, was in a sense the international response to the transnational problem of food.   221 00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:19,460 The conference was called for by Secretary Kissinger at the UN in 1973.   222 00:19:19,460 --> 00:19:23,780 And the simple dimensions of the problem meant that that call was met by the response of   223 00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:29,600 134 nations who met in Rome in November of 1974.   224 00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:35,040 What I would like to do is to outline briefly both what the conference did and what it could   225 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,040 not do.   226 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,240 And as I move to that second part, what it could not do, I'll begin the first section   227 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,280 of moral analysis on responses to the food crisis, because the World Food Conference,   228 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,800 at least in its outline of its program, is the first major response on a transnational   229 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,680 basis to the world food problem.   230 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,520 The problem was defined usually in terms of four interlocking characteristics that created   231 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,760 the situation of scarcity of the early 70s.   232 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,680 Those four causes, which I cannot examine at this time, are usually enumerated as the   233 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,680 following.   234 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,160 First, the relationship between available food in the world and population growth.   235 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,240 Secondly, the relationship between available food in the world and the consumption habits   236 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,080 of the industrialized nations and what are sometimes called the new rich in the globe.   237 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,680 One of the problems of the early 70s was that there were rising standards of living in certain   238 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,680 places of the globe, Eastern Europe and then ultimately in some of the Arab countries,   239 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,440 and these countries were able to place a greater demand on the global food supply.   240 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,840 The third problem was the relationship of the oil and energy crisis to the food problem.   241 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,520 The fourfold rise in oil prices had a multiplier effect on the food problem.   242 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760 It raised the price of fertilizer.   243 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,680 And the nations that were most touched by the food crisis were precisely those nations   244 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,240 who had to import both food and oil.   245 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,240 We know what happened to us when the oil price rose and how it touched our economy,   246 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,880 but we simply do not have to import food.   247 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,400 The nations touched in the early 70s were the nations that were caught in the matrix   248 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,800 of both importing food as a consistent pattern and importing oil.   249 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,240 And then finally, the climatic changes in the Sahel and other parts of the globe.   250 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,020 These four factors were not new factors in world politics.   251 00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:24,120 What had happened by the early 70s that the factors interlocked to form a web or a framework,   252 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:30,640 and it was within that framework that the global problem of managing scarcity emerged.   253 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,000 Now what was the response of the World Food Conference?   254 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,920 The response of the conference is usually summarized under three areas.   255 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:45,840 First food production, secondly global food security, and thirdly food trade issues.   256 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,480 In the area of food production, everyone agrees that the long-term answer to the problem is   257 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,080 better productivity in what are called the food-hungry nations, those nations that consistently   258 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,000 must import food.   259 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,320 And so the major emphasis of the conference, or a major emphasis, was precisely on this   260 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:08,040 question of how to increase agricultural development in the food-hungry nations.   261 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,800 And the theme here was on technical and financial assistance from the industrialized countries,   262 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,120 as well as the need for internal reforms in the food-hungry countries.   263 00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,600 One of the specific proposals that is with us today as a current issue that flowed out   264 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,920 of this discussion was the creation of the International Fund for Agricultural Development,   265 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,440 a $1 billion special fund proposed by the oil states, in which they promised that they   266 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:39,480 would put forth 50% of the $1 billion, and then the, what are called the OECD nations,   267 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,280 the industrialized nations, were asked to put up the other $500 million for that fund.   268 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,200 I'll come back to that in a few moments.   269 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,320 Secondly, under food security, the issues that were treated were usually problems of   270 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,600 nutrition, food aid, and the global food reserve.   271 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,320 In terms of food aid, it is estimated as a result of the conference that we will need   272 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,580 approximately 10 million tons per year of food aid for the foreseeable future.   273 00:23:04,580 --> 00:23:10,080 Many argue that this is a very conservative estimate of what is necessary for food aid.   274 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,420 No one feels that food aid is any kind of a long-term solution to the food problem.   275 00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:19,680 Everyone knows it is not a long-term solution, but it simply is what is necessary to keep   276 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,540 some people alive.   277 00:23:21,540 --> 00:23:27,700 In 1975, we fell short of the 10 million ton figure by 2 million tons.   278 00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,300 We produced 8 million tons of food assistance in 1975.   279 00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:36,700 It is estimated in 1976 that we will reach about 9 million tons.   280 00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:41,360 The second issue under food security is the creation of the global food reserve.   281 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,920 The proposed figure from the World Food Conference is that there should be created a 60 million   282 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:52,200 ton reserve, which is in reserve for any kind of global disaster, and that's in addition   283 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,240 to the 100 million tons of food that is regarded as carryover stocks from one year to another.   284 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,720 There is some dispute about how much, how large the fund should be.   285 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,240 The U.S. has proposed 30 million tons, although the U.S. does not include in that 30 million   286 00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:07,420 tons feed grains.   287 00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:13,060 It just includes wheat and rice, whereas the Global Food Conference talked about a 60 million   288 00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:16,380 ton reserve of wheat, rice, and feed grains.   289 00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:19,180 I will also come back to where we are on the food reserve.   290 00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:21,740 Finally, the issue of food trade.   291 00:24:21,740 --> 00:24:26,140 Of all the issues of the World Food Conference, this was the least successful issue.   292 00:24:26,140 --> 00:24:31,620 The industrialized countries led by the United States clearly made their point that they   293 00:24:31,620 --> 00:24:35,980 wanted no restrictions on their future trade negotiations placed on them by the World Food   294 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,720 Conference.   295 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,880 So the U.S. and other industrialized countries resisted strongly the inclusion of the trade   296 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,400 issue in the World Food Conference discussion, and yet this is a major issue.   297 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,320 It is a major issue in terms of several points.   298 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:56,360 First, the access of developing country agricultural products to industrialized markets is a problem.   299 00:24:56,360 --> 00:25:02,080 Secondly, the ability of the developing countries to compete on the market and to buy food in   300 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,640 a situation of scarcity.   301 00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:09,580 I'll come back to this several times, but the reason the trade is a problem is that   302 00:25:09,580 --> 00:25:14,820 if we've got X amount of grain and we're going to put it all on the commercial market, then   303 00:25:14,820 --> 00:25:19,100 India is in no competition with the Soviet Union or can't compete with the Soviet Union   304 00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:23,740 in terms of being able to compete for the available food.   305 00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:28,860 The final problem that surfaces under trade is the role and place of the large multinational   306 00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:33,260 corporations who are in the food business, in the production and distribution business,   307 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,000 as they touch this transnational problem.   308 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,140 Corporations are very large.   309 00:25:38,140 --> 00:25:42,200 They control significant amounts of power, and because of the nature of an international   310 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:48,760 system, decentralized with no center of authority, there is no kind of extensive control or direction   311 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,280 of these large enterprises in terms of what one might describe as a common good as one   312 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,680 faced the international food problem.   313 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,160 Now, those are the kinds of things that surfaced at the World Food Conference.   314 00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:06,660 What might one say in terms of ethical analysis, if you will, of that kind of proposal for   315 00:26:06,660 --> 00:26:08,460 the world food problem?   316 00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:13,140 As I move through the ethical analysis now of this proposal and of several others, I   317 00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:17,820 will quite consciously draw upon concepts drawn from Catholic social teaching, although   318 00:26:17,820 --> 00:26:22,260 in no way do I want to indicate that either Catholics are the only ones or the best minds   319 00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:26,300 working on this problem, nor do I want to indicate that that's the only place we go   320 00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,360 for our ethical concepts.   321 00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:32,460 But I want specifically in this context to highlight what comes out of Catholic social   322 00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:38,100 teaching to help us think about a problem like the hungry in our midst.   323 00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:43,140 The first point I think to be made about the World Food Conference is to be drawn from   324 00:26:43,140 --> 00:26:46,220 the writing of Pope John in Pacem in Terris.   325 00:26:46,220 --> 00:26:50,840 I think the World Food Conference points to what Pope John called a structural defect   326 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,500 in the international community as it is organized in the middle of the 20th century.   327 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,780 As Pope John described that structural defect, he meant that the scope of the problems we   328 00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:07,540 face, whether they be food or trade and assistance or foreign investment or population, the scope   329 00:27:07,540 --> 00:27:13,200 of the problems we face goes beyond the capacity of the decision-making process we have available   330 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,240 in the international system.   331 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:21,140 More precisely, we face transnational problems, but we still only have national centers of   332 00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:22,140 decision-making.   333 00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:26,580 Now to cite this problem does not mean that I expect that it's going to be overcome in   334 00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:27,960 my lifetime.   335 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,360 I think what Pope John did not say, but at least I would say based on the empirical evidence   336 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:37,720 I see, is that this structural gap will be the problem of international politics for   337 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,620 the rest of the 20th century.   338 00:27:39,620 --> 00:27:44,180 We will continue to have problems that go beyond our capacity to make rational decisions   339 00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:49,920 to solve them in the sense that there is on the table, as I see it, no evidence that we're   340 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,920 going to make a quantum leap into a higher degree of organization of the international   341 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,800 system in any immediate sense of the term.   342 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:04,200 So Pope John, in 1963, before most analysts of international politics stressed transnational   343 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,400 problems, he identified what I think is the key moral problem.   344 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:14,280 This problem of not having centers of decision-making that are capable of dealing easily with the   345 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,720 problems we face was highlighted by the World Food Conference.   346 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,680 Conferences like the World Food Conference perform an invaluable role.   347 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,080 I'm afraid of the technology too.   348 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,360 No, I won't.   349 00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:32,400 Not with the time passing.   350 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,220 These conferences perform an invaluable role.   351 00:28:35,220 --> 00:28:37,920 What they do is first they call attention to a problem.   352 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,760 You saw the world food problem on TV partly because there was a conference coming up and   353 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:48,160 the major networks covered India and the Sahel and other areas for months before the conference.   354 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,560 Secondly, they force governments to show some interest in the problem.   355 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,480 It's a question of peer relationships.   356 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,160 If 134 nations are going to a conference, you don't want to be the 135th who isn't going.   357 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:06,000 It identifies for the reading public and the commentating public the nature of the problem.   358 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,200 And finally, conferences like that can lay out a rational, systematic plan that does   359 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,480 have the scope of the problem in mind.   360 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:21,640 However, what a conference like that cannot do is to take any effective decisions that   361 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:28,080 in any way would bind a nation to meet the standards of the plan.   362 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,920 After they draw up the plan, everybody goes home.   363 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:36,760 And when they go home, the action starts because the action is in the national decision-making   364 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,760 centers.   365 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,600 And so, for example, if you look at the World Food Conference plan of action, when the developed   366 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,040 countries say, we don't want to talk about trade, all you get out of that conference   367 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,760 is a statement that we ought to study the problems between trade and the food problem.   368 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,720 Secondly, in the underdeveloped countries, one of the key problems is internal reform,   369 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,720 land reform.   370 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,880 There is no significant way of moving toward organized action through that plan because   371 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,240 there is no significant center of authority that can force any nation to take steps like   372 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,680 that.   373 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:15,000 Because when we go home is the time the action starts, the significance of a national constituency   374 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,200 with a transnational concern will be a repeated theme for me for the rest of this talk.   375 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:26,280 The key concept here, I think, is again a concept developed by Pope John in modern Magister,   376 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,120 at least for the first time in Catholic teaching it was stated in these terms.   377 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,840 John talked about the international common good, and that concept has been developed   378 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,000 in subsequent teaching of the Catholic Church since that time.   379 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,280 The common good, of course, is a very traditional concept in Catholic thought.   380 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:48,880 It is to say that there is an obligation on a society to produce that complex of conditions   381 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,800 that makes it possible for each person in the society to live a life of human dignity.   382 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,440 But normally the common good, at least by implication, referred to the local community,   383 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,400 at most to the nation.   384 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,240 Pope John expanded the concept to include the international common good.   385 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Now, the practical conclusion of that concept is that when one goes to judge the justice   386 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:14,440 of a nation's policy, the first question one might ask is how that policy affects its own   387 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,480 citizens.   388 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,260 But if one takes the international common good seriously, a second question that now   389 00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:24,880 must be asked is how that policy affects other people in other parts of the globe.   390 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,320 When you're in a situation of managing scarcity, if you take the international common good   391 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:35,360 seriously, you get a whole agenda of questions that never arise if you do not take it seriously.   392 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,400 I'll be very precise in terms of U.S. policy.   393 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,840 Secretary Butts always regarded our relationship to the rest of the world as a relation that   394 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,640 was an option for us.   395 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,600 If we were moved by charity to deal with their problems, so much the better for them and   396 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,600 for us.   397 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,160 But there was no structural obligation in conscience to deal with that problem because   398 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,040 they lay outside the borders.   399 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,680 It was always a problem of charity or philanthropy, never a problem of what in Catholic terms   400 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:08,520 one would describe as social justice, a problem of policy.   401 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:14,200 That in terms of the key kind of ethical concept that comes out of the World Food Conference   402 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,600 is to me the central concern.   403 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:23,100 The scope of the plan is significantly developed, but the authority to implement the plan lies   404 00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:24,560 in the national communities.   405 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,960 Now if one wants to look at U.S. policy in light of what happened when we came home from   406 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:34,120 the World Food Conference, let me just summarize again the three categories of the conference.   407 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,680 In terms of food production and assistance, significant steps have been made through the   408 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,620 act that was passed by Congress in the winter of 1975 called the International Development   409 00:32:44,620 --> 00:32:46,480 and Food Assistance Act.   410 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:53,840 In terms of authorization for foreign development, there was appropriate authorized for fiscal   411 00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:00,720 year 1976, $1.5 billion, and for fiscal year 1977, $1.4 million.   412 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:06,320 The Congress has authorized the $200 million contribution by the U.S. to the International   413 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,900 Fund for Agricultural Development, although as yet it has not been appropriated.   414 00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:17,820 In terms of food security, U.S. food assistance last year amounted to 6 million tons.   415 00:33:17,820 --> 00:33:23,740 We have promised to guarantee 4 million tons or to do our best to guarantee 4 million tons   416 00:33:23,740 --> 00:33:28,540 of the expected 10 million we will need every year for the foreseeable future.   417 00:33:28,540 --> 00:33:32,180 And there have been significant changes in the structure of the aid program, the food   418 00:33:32,180 --> 00:33:38,400 aid program, so that the food, at least today, is to be judged primarily by the need of others   419 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,540 and not by where they stand on the political spectrum.   420 00:33:41,540 --> 00:33:48,060 There were clearly some very clear and flagrant abuses of the PL-480 program in the late 60s   421 00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:49,340 and early 70s.   422 00:33:49,340 --> 00:33:53,060 As one looked at that program and where our aid went, even though the aid was declining   423 00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:56,780 all the time, you not only had to be hungry, but you had to be hungry and strategically   424 00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:59,700 well-placed to be available for that food.   425 00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:03,140 If you were in Egypt, you were in much better condition than if you were in Africa, and   426 00:34:03,140 --> 00:34:06,460 if you were in South Vietnam, you were in much better condition than if you were in   427 00:34:06,460 --> 00:34:08,320 India.   428 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,620 So the Congress has taken steps to set a new set of criteria for the determination of where   429 00:34:13,620 --> 00:34:15,380 the food aid goes.   430 00:34:15,380 --> 00:34:20,260 In terms of the food reserve, there is a commitment by the U.S. to enter the food reserve, but   431 00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:25,460 to be fair, that commitment is now caught in bureaucratic bargaining within the administration.   432 00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:29,420 There are several unanswered questions, both internationally and within the U.S. policy   433 00:34:29,420 --> 00:34:34,620 process about what the style and shape of the food reserve program ought to be.   434 00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:38,660 There is an initial commitment by the U.S., but there's going to need to be significant   435 00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:42,900 public demonstration that we want to take part in that reserve system, I think, if that   436 00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:45,620 commitment is to be translated into reality.   437 00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:51,020 In terms of the food trade problem, there has been no commitment from the U.S., no planned   438 00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:55,180 commitment that would touch our trade policy that I know of, for example, in the way that   439 00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:59,220 we have already planned how we are going to deal with the Soviet Union over the next few   440 00:34:59,220 --> 00:35:00,220 years on food.   441 00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:06,420 There has been no kind of setting aside of any kind of dimension of the U.S. crop production   442 00:35:06,420 --> 00:35:12,660 in terms of either a food reserve system or, secondly, in terms of a food assistance system.   443 00:35:13,260 --> 00:35:17,900 Now, let me move off the World Food Conference and proceed to some other of the proposed   444 00:35:17,900 --> 00:35:20,340 solutions in the U.S.   445 00:35:20,340 --> 00:35:25,740 Since I am arguing that a national constituency with a transnational conscience is crucial,   446 00:35:25,740 --> 00:35:30,060 and the reason I'm arguing that point is I would argue that that series of steps that   447 00:35:30,060 --> 00:35:34,380 I have just outlined, taken by the United States Congress on food policy, would not   448 00:35:34,380 --> 00:35:38,780 have been taken without significant public interest in that problem over the last two   449 00:35:38,780 --> 00:35:39,780 years.   450 00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:42,820 The argument that I know about the process from the limited experience I have within   451 00:35:42,820 --> 00:35:49,060 Washington says that you had to demonstrate a broad-scale public concern for that problem   452 00:35:49,060 --> 00:35:53,920 to generate several of the steps involved in that, and I think that broad-scale public   453 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,660 concern was manifested but is going to have to continue to be manifested.   454 00:35:57,660 --> 00:36:02,860 Now, because the national constituencies are so crucial, then the tone and the theme of   455 00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:06,900 the national debate on food policy is of great importance.   456 00:36:07,020 --> 00:36:11,300 I would argue a transnational policy has to have a constituency.   457 00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:15,020 On this issue, it has to be a constituency of conscience.   458 00:36:15,020 --> 00:36:19,700 That is to say, a constituency of conscience that was once defined as those who have a   459 00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:24,740 care but not an interest, a care for the problem but not an interest to be gained necessarily   460 00:36:24,740 --> 00:36:28,100 by the steps taken in the policy process.   461 00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:34,180 I am now going to present some of the proposals advanced in the U.S. as possible solutions   462 00:36:34,180 --> 00:36:35,940 to the food problem.   463 00:36:35,980 --> 00:36:41,860 I will advance them precisely for the task of setting out some moral analysis of the   464 00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:42,860 problem.   465 00:36:42,860 --> 00:36:47,900 I ought to say that some of the proposals I am going to mention are particularly American,   466 00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:49,100 if you will.   467 00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:53,300 There is a discussion going on in another room here where the superior of the Jesuits   468 00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:57,620 and about four international bishops are responding to him, and if they heard the first of these   469 00:36:57,620 --> 00:37:01,420 proposals that I am going to talk about, I think there'd be deafening silence in the   470 00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:02,420 room.   471 00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:04,640 I don't think they could believe we'd talk on those terms.   472 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,520 This is part of the national debate, and so I need to talk on these terms.   473 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,440 I'm going to look at three models of responses to the world food problem.   474 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,000 First I'll call the lifeboat ethic model.   475 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,960 Secondly, the family table model.   476 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,540 And the third, the spaceship earth model.   477 00:37:20,540 --> 00:37:25,120 What I'll do in each case is to identify what's being proposed, to indicate who some of the   478 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:31,680 proponents are, and then to do a moral sketch, and it only is a sketch.   479 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,800 First the lifeboat ethic model.   480 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,640 Under this title, the lifeboat ethic, there is more than one proposal contained.   481 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,600 Specifically, there have been advanced in the last four or five years both the proposal   482 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:49,440 of a lifeboat ethic and of a triage system as the way to resolve the choices before US   483 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,440 food policy.   484 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,280 They are usually grouped together.   485 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,280 I don't think they go together, so I'll outline each of them and then distinguish the two   486 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,980 proposals, the lifeboat ethic and the triage system.   487 00:37:59,980 --> 00:38:07,700 The lifeboat ethic has been most notably proposed by Dr. Garrett Hardin.   488 00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:15,140 Hardin is a biochemist, I believe, and has written extensively in the area of resources,   489 00:38:15,140 --> 00:38:18,820 population, and policy decisions.   490 00:38:18,820 --> 00:38:23,820 Hardin is an intelligent man, and I am doing a sketch of a very complicated presentation,   491 00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:28,300 and so you will understand the limits of this commentary.   492 00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:31,820 As Hardin describes the problem, we ought to look at it in the following way.   493 00:38:31,820 --> 00:38:36,780 The world is divided into the desperately poor, two-thirds of the world, and the comparatively   494 00:38:36,780 --> 00:38:38,900 rich, one-third of the world.   495 00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:43,100 Each nation in the world ought to be pictured as being in a lifeboat.   496 00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,380 The rich are in safe lifeboats.   497 00:38:45,380 --> 00:38:49,500 The boats can stay afloat, and we even have room for a few more passengers.   498 00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:54,820 The poor increasingly are in overcrowded lifeboats, and eventually some of the poor fall out into   499 00:38:54,820 --> 00:38:56,140 the water.   500 00:38:56,140 --> 00:39:00,180 When they get into the water, they swim toward the rich boats, and they want to get in.   501 00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:04,860 And Hardin says the question is, what are we going to do if we're in the rich boat?   502 00:39:04,860 --> 00:39:08,460 He proposes three kinds of responses that can be made.   503 00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:13,900 First, he says we can adopt the sharing ethic, and interestingly enough, he says the sharing   504 00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:19,540 ethic can either be based on Marxist criteria, that we share what we have according to need,   505 00:39:19,540 --> 00:39:21,540 or it can be based on Christian criteria.   506 00:39:21,540 --> 00:39:24,880 That is to say, we regard those in the water as our brothers and sisters, and therefore   507 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,120 we have an obligation toward them.   508 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,560 He says the problem with the sharing ethic is that it leads to disaster, and so his proposal   509 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,920 for the American public is to guard against the sharing ethic having any impact on people's   510 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:38,920 consciences.   511 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,120 He says we have got to have an educational campaign so that people can immediately identify   512 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,840 the sharing ethic when it is proposed, and then they'll recognize that it's a disaster.   513 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,960 Now why is it a disaster?   514 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,040 He says that it's a disaster because to make the sharing ethic work, there would have to   515 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,880 be some central authority that could correlate rights and responsibilities of the poor and   516 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,440 the rich across the globe.   517 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,680 So like Pope John, he senses the need that there is no centralized authority.   518 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,440 But he says because there's no centralized authority, the difficulty with the sharing   519 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:16,040 ethic is that it allows people to claim rights without exercising responsibility.   520 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,920 What that translates out to be is that the poor can claim they have a right to food,   521 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:26,680 and they don't exercise any responsible policy regarding their productivity of children.   522 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,720 Population is the key theme in the Hardin analysis.   523 00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:34,320 In the end, therefore, if we adopt the sharing ethic, they sink our boat.   524 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,560 So that destroys the idealists who were the sharing advocates.   525 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,080 Secondly, it simply delays the day of reckoning for the poor boats because eventually they'll   526 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,480 go down anyway.   527 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:49,320 And thirdly, it disrupts what Hardin calls the normal cycle of nature, which is translated   528 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:54,080 out to mean that it's survival of the fittest, and you just have to bring your population   529 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,880 into line with your food supply.   530 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,440 And if that means that some have to die in order to do that, then a food aid program   531 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,320 simply delays that process.   532 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:07,720 It's interesting to hear Dr. Daniel Callahan and his commentary on Hardin's critique of   533 00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,000 the sharing ethic.   534 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,560 Callahan argues Hardin's proposal amounts to nothing less than a deliberate decision   535 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,560 to allow people who might otherwise survive, at least for a time, to die of starvation   536 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,560 and disease.   537 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,960 Hardin says, however, there is a second response.   538 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,520 You don't have to adopt the sharing ethic.   539 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,920 You just bring some people into the boat.   540 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,420 But he says this simply complicates the problem because how are you going to choose who comes   541 00:41:30,420 --> 00:41:31,420 into the boat?   542 00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:34,440 If you're going to get 10 extra spaces in the rich boat, how are you going to choose   543 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,920 which 10 get in?   544 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,700 And besides, he says, you destroy your own safety factor in the rich boats.   545 00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:41,480 So therefore, that's bad policy.   546 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,120 You can't save everyone anyway.   547 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,760 You're going to have to make difficult choices, and you're going to reduce your own safety   548 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,160 factor.   549 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,840 So Hardin proposes what one ought to do is if you're in the rich boat, you ought to prevent   550 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,680 access by others into your boat.   551 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,920 And he says, for those who can't take this ethic, for those who say, I feel guilty about   552 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:04,060 that, he said, you have to get them out of the boat because you have to eliminate their   553 00:42:04,060 --> 00:42:07,040 voice from the debate.   554 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:12,040 That is the lifeboat ethic in very cryptic terms.   555 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,760 This is the end of side one.   556

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,240 The triage proposal has been advanced by several people and I want to be clear   2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,400 that it is advanced with different degrees of nuance. It's been advanced   3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,680 by the Panics who wrote Famine 1975, by Dr. Forrester of the Club of Rome, and by   4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,720 Dr. Handler of the American Association of Science. What the triage proposal   5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,480 argues is that we should analyze the available needs of people for food in   6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,360 the globe and the available supply. We should secondly project those needs into   7 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,640 the immediate future to see what we're really talking about and then we should   8 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,720 recognize our own limits that you just can't feed all the hungry. And in that   9 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,320 situation the triage proposal advocates a medical style solution to where you   10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,960 provide your food. As you probably know the triage model is a battlefield model   11 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,800 of medical ethics. You separate the wounded into three categories those who   12 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,040 will clearly die even if you try and help,   13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,480 those who can survive with pain but without any help,   14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,360 and those who need intensive help if they're going to survive.   15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,700 And so the triage model, you provide all your resources   16 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,460 to that middle group.   17 00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:10,300 The triage proponents argue this may   18 00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:12,620 be the situation of the global food crisis.   19 00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,380 We simply can't deal with everybody,   20 00:01:14,380 --> 00:01:15,760 so we have to determine those who are going   21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,860 to make it without our help, those who are not   22 00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:20,020 going to make it even if we try to help,   23 00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:22,200 and those who possibly have a chance to make it   24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,740 and we help them.   25 00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:25,960 All right, now let me compare the lifeboat and triage   26 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,100 models.   27 00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:28,660 The lifeboat model, I would argue,   28 00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:30,440 is different than the triage model.   29 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,060 It is a total plan.   30 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:33,540 It's a world view.   31 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:36,700 It's a way to design the international system in light   32 00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:38,440 of a certain kind of living standard   33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,820 that we must maintain, in light of the available resources   34 00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:43,900 necessary for that living standard,   35 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,380 and in light of who passes the test of responsible government.   36 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:49,700 And responsible government, at least in the literature   37 00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:52,160 I have seen, and I don't claim to have read all of Hardin,   38 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,380 but what I have seen responsible government   39 00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:58,600 means the kind of population policy you support.   40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,400 The lifeboat model is a long-term solution.   41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,880 Hardin is constantly balancing not only   42 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,960 what we can do in the present as against what   43 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,060 we could do with those resources in other places   44 00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:09,880 in the present, but he's constantly   45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,920 saying we've got to watch out for posterity.   46 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,120 I've got to watch out for my grandchildren as well as   47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:14,800 myself.   48 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,760 And if I use up the available resources trying   49 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,420 to feed all the hungry, my grandchildren   50 00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:21,520 are going to be in bad shape, even if I'm not in bad shape.   51 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,320 The triage proposal is more limited.   52 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,160 It is not a total picture.   53 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,040 It's a method for deciding on assistance.   54 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,880 So the triage proposal presupposes some assistance.   55 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,840 For Hardin, as I understand it, all the poor are our enemies.   56 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,560 The triage proposal doesn't articulate that.   57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,080 It says, how many can you save within certain limits?   58 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,480 The triage proposal is a short-run proposal.   59 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,800 If you could resolve the problem in the long term,   60 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480 they would argue just for triage for the moment.   61 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,200 And the triage proposal is linked with, as I say,   62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200 forms of assistance.   63 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,080 So it is not an argument about no assistance.   64 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,100 And there are versions of the triage proposal.   65 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,080 Most notably, I want to single out Dr. Handler's proposal.   66 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,220 Handler and I testified on the same day   67 00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:07,820 before the McGovern committee.   68 00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:10,420 And it was a very closely reasoned case   69 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:11,260 that he presented.   70 00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:13,500 I cannot say I'd come down where he came down,   71 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:16,620 but I did not hear him come down arguing that triage was   72 00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:18,300 the step we ought to take.   73 00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:20,940 What he did say was, given the situation,   74 00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:23,800 the long-term situation of the global problem,   75 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,720 we have either got to be prepared   76 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,560 in the industrialized countries to make   77 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,200 a massive effort of cooperation and assistance,   78 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960 not just aid, but economic structures,   79 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,940 in terms of the developing countries,   80 00:03:35,940 --> 00:03:38,840 an effort that is unlike anything we've seen in history.   81 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,920 Or if we're not prepared to make that effort,   82 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,760 then we ought to go the triage route.   83 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,200 Because in fact, you can't resolve the problem   84 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,800 with limited assistance.   85 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,400 Handler puts that kind of choice, as I read it,   86 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,740 before the public of the industrialized countries   87 00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:56,240 and says, triage is not the only way,   88 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040 but you need to look at what the alternatives are.   89 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,360 Let me now comment on the models.   90 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,080 The lifeboat proposal, I would argue,   91 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,800 is open to challenge on the basis of both its ethical vision   92 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080 and its version of world politics.   93 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,580 I want to make this critique not only   94 00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:14,040 in terms of the ethical vision.   95 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,540 Perhaps in a meeting like this, it's   96 00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:18,600 too easy for us to say that's a despicable proposal.   97 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,680 Maybe you don't think it is, but it   98 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960 might be too easy for a group like this to say it,   99 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,440 and then to write it off.   100 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,240 The point is we are in the midst of public debate.   101 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,840 Even if everybody in this room agreed   102 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,900 it was a less than adequate proposal,   103 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,300 you have to make the proposal in terms   104 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,860 that are going to carry a large segment of public opinion   105 00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:36,840 with you.   106 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:38,560 I don't think Dr. Hardin would listen   107 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,760 to a totally ethical analysis, that that's   108 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,480 just an unreasonable proposal.   109 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,560 So I want to critique the proposal not only in terms   110 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,800 of its ethical vision.   111 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,520 I simply don't think it corresponds   112 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,180 to the shape of international politics   113 00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:52,440 today understood in the most hard-headed vision.   114 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,660 But first, a critique of its ethical vision.   115 00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:56,200 I would argue in the first instance   116 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,120 that the lifeboat proposal is a one-sided view of the problem.   117 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,840 The problem is, in Hardin's mind,   118 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:05,200 that the idealists allow them, the enemy,   119 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,760 to claim rights without exercising responsibility.   120 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,640 But Hardin never argues that we have any responsibilities.   121 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,320 Now, here I'm not saying he has to adopt   122 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,160 my view of our responsibilities.   123 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,820 There simply is no argument that we   124 00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:20,440 have responsibilities in a situation of maldistribution.   125 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,480 The responsibilities that are not being fulfilled   126 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,000 are all on the other side.   127 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,480 The implicit presumption is we have   128 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,960 fulfilled our responsibilities by having a, quote,   129 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,600 responsible population policy.   130 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,360 Secondly, Hardin argues that a world sovereign is needed,   131 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,960 but the principle purpose of the world sovereign   132 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,000 is to force them to control their population.   133 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,920 There is no economic or political coercion   134 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,960 to be exercised on us, for instance,   135 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,920 in terms of economic questions or political questions.   136 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,760 The world sovereign has as his objective them.   137 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,600 Secondly, the argument proposes, I would say,   138 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,960 false dichotomies.   139 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,300 Hardin argues that if you're going to really resolve   140 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:00,240 the problem created by, for instance,   141 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,520 colonial economic systems as they affect   142 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,920 the developing countries, he said   143 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,280 we'd have to really strive for perfect justice.   144 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,080 And perfect justice eventually means   145 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,800 you give everything back to the Indians,   146 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,360 because they owned it first.   147 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,240 He said, that's obviously impossible.   148 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,200 So since we can't have perfect justice,   149 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,240 he then throws out all arguments about procedural justice.   150 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,840 That is to say, something that would better the situation   151 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,080 from where it is today.   152 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,800 Because perfect justice is obviously impossible,   153 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,920 presumably no justice is worth trying for.   154 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,680 There is no sense in the Hardin proposal   155 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,520 at all of community, that there is a need for community   156 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,680 in human situations.   157 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,420 And yet, he never once plays back upon us, upon ourselves,   158 00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:44,940 what happens when we adopt a view of life that   159 00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:46,700 has no vision of community.   160 00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:48,740 Who is going to be the next enemy?   161 00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:51,360 The enemy now is in the developing countries.   162 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,260 Who's the next enemy if there's no community among us,   163 00:06:54,260 --> 00:06:57,180 ourselves, within the boundaries of a nation state?   164 00:06:57,180 --> 00:06:59,880 How do you define or get defined as the enemy?   165 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,620 And what happens to you once you get defined as the enemy?   166 00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:04,060 When there's no sense of community   167 00:07:04,060 --> 00:07:06,480 that holds together the populace,   168 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,040 whether it be national or local or international,   169 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,240 I would argue eventually there's a kickback to that ethic.   170 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440 Finally, Hardin's argument is carefully   171 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,400 run through with an argument about what   172 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520 we owe to posterity as opposed to what   173 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760 we can do in the present time for the poor in our midst.   174 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,720 But there is never an argument made   175 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,160 about how you weigh your responsibility to posterity   176 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,760 as opposed to your responsibility   177 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,280 to the present generation.   178 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,520 Again, Dan Callahan arguing out of not particularly   179 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,080 a Christian vision of ethics, and this essay argues   180 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,560 that your priority concern are those in front of you,   181 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,500 and you cannot subordinate the present life   182 00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,800 to the future life without any calculation whatsoever.   183 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,520 But the argument against Hardin   184 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760 that I think may carry more weight is his empirical vision,   185 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,840 which I would argue simply does not fit the facts.   186 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,720 He argues for the rich nations living   187 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,880 in self-sufficient lifeboats,   188 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,960 but the essence of an interdependent world,   189 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,800 the kind of world marked by transnational problems,   190 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,440 is that it is a world of interrelated issues.   191 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,360 What we can do with our food when we're in control,   192 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,560 others have demonstrated they have the potential   193 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,320 to do with other commodities.   194 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,360 So what we can do with our food, in terms of writing off   195 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,360 x number of people, others might do with oil at another time.   196 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,200 What we can do with our food in economic terms   197 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,360 doesn't touch the problem that we face,   198 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,120 that the nations that many times are in need of that food   199 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,640 are also the nations we are literally begging not to develop nuclear weapons.   200 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,640 If there is no way to adjudicate the problem in terms of justice, generosity,   201 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,280 and human community, then they have means to adopt too that are not without their   202 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,920 coercive impact. He argues that the US, or he seems to argue, is a self-sufficient   203 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,600 society. I think in an interdependent world that argument is open to empirical   204 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,760 challenge, not just moral challenge, but empirical challenge. And the oil impact   205 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040 is not just the oil impact on us because we know it wasn't all that great in   206 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:06,060 relative terms. Less than 20% of our oil is imported. But the oil impact on Japan   207 00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:11,960 was massive and if we decide that they are our enemy in the developing   208 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,960 countries and if they can put together a political bloc with oil as the key wedge   209 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,000 in that political bloc and they go after Japan we again are not going to be able   210 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,920 to stand back and say it's not our problem. The Japanese won't let us do it.   211 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,800 Finally, he seems to say that some are unsalvageable.   212 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,000 The triage argument seems to hold this too, and yet it is not self-evident that this is   213 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,080 the case, that some are unsalvageable.   214 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,840 Nor is it self-evident that Hardin's view of the population problem is the most balanced   215 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,120 view of the day.   216 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,760 Now, this is a controversial and conflicted issue, and the Catholic position has its own   217 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,960 questions to ask, and I would be in favor of asking them.   218 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,400 But I think it's fair to say that in the empirical debate   219 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,120 on population policy today, it is not a Catholic issue.   220 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,920 There are really three positions in the population debate.   221 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,320 One that says that population is no problem.   222 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Oftentimes, that seems to have been the Catholic response   223 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,960 to others.   224 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,000 The Marxist response in classical terms   225 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,360 is that response.   226 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,820 Then you have the other response that population   227 00:10:13,820 --> 00:10:14,740 is the whole problem.   228 00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,920 That seems to be Hardin's position.   229 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,400 That position, I would argue, today   230 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,880 has been demonstrated to be inadequate,   231 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,320 Simply in empirical terms, the history   232 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,180 of trying to solve population by isolating the population   233 00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:29,600 problem today is not accepted in the consensus   234 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,740 of the analytical community as being the way   235 00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:34,000 to deal with that problem.   236 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,100 The middle position says that population is a problem.   237 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,040 It needs to be faced by several moves,   238 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,640 including government action.   239 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,760 But it is a problem that exists within the wider   240 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,120 context of social and economic development.   241 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,760 I think myself that's where we ought to be standing.   242 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,860 And Hardin doesn't stand there, as I read it.   243 00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:52,900 And therefore, I think he can come under critique   244 00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:54,340 on that basis.   245 00:10:54,340 --> 00:10:57,300 Finally, I'd put the empirical and ethical critique   246 00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:00,420 of Hardin's position together and ask one question   247 00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:03,300 from an empirical and an ethical point of view.   248 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,780 What kind of world do we seek to create?   249 00:11:05,780 --> 00:11:08,380 Posterity has an interest in this question, the kind   250 00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:10,700 of world we leave to posterity.   251 00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:15,160 Ethically, triage, for example, means making a conscious choice   252 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,980 to decide that some are going to die without any help.   253 00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:20,940 I would argue that we in Western society   254 00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:24,360 ought to look carefully at the psychological impact   255 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,040 of the last 30 years about what happened   256 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,480 in the Jewish experience in Germany.   257 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,900 And our fault there was that we didn't pay attention to it.   258 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,080 We ignored it.   259 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,360 We didn't take decisive action.   260 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,100 That's had a continuing impact on the West.   261 00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,400 If we adopt the triage model, we're   262 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,660 going to be saying we have chosen not to help.   263 00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:48,500 And I want to know what kind of impact that has on posterity.   264 00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:51,620 Finally, from an empirical sense, what kind of world   265 00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:52,940 do we want to leave?   266 00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:55,120 The lifeboat model of international politics   267 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,800 creates a world of all against all.   268 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,900 It is a world that is a Hobbesian world   269 00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:01,660 in its classical sense.   270 00:12:01,660 --> 00:12:04,180 Posterity might have a difficult time living   271 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:06,420 in a totally Hobbesian world.   272 00:12:06,420 --> 00:12:07,900 As we deal with the food question,   273 00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:11,740 it needs to be seen as perhaps the preeminent question   274 00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:13,300 of how an interdependent world is   275 00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,860 going to deal with each other.   276 00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:17,180 We are told that during the Cuban Missile Crisis,   277 00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:19,660 one of the things that concerned President Kennedy   278 00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:22,600 was that he was dealing with a precedent-setting situation,   279 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,180 how superpowers handled nuclear confrontation,   280 00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:29,300 because he felt it would set a precedent for the next problem.   281 00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:31,740 The food issue is a precedent-setting situation,   282 00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:35,460 I would argue, for how you live in an interdependent world.   283 00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:39,820 Let me move more quickly to the family table model.   284 00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:41,220 I understood I had till 3.30.   285 00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:43,260 How am I doing?   286 00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:45,780 or five minutes, all right, the family table model.   287 00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:49,900 This approach is different.   288 00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,060 This approach tends to isolate the food issue,   289 00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:54,780 to concentrate on it as both empirically significant   290 00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:56,300 and ethically urgent.   291 00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:58,300 Good representatives of the family table model   292 00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,300 would be Pope Paul at his speech at the UN in 1965,   293 00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,940 where he said the solution to the problem of population   294 00:13:03,940 --> 00:13:06,940 as he responded to it was to expand the family table.   295 00:13:06,940 --> 00:13:09,380 I would say that the bishop's statements in this country,   296 00:13:09,380 --> 00:13:11,160 the US Catholic Conference statements,   297 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,960 Although it acknowledges food in the context of a larger   298 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,180 problem, it says that we must concentrate first   299 00:13:17,180 --> 00:13:18,480 on the food problem.   300 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,200 Now, what are the strengths and weaknesses of this position?   301 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,000 Its strengths are, I think, that it isolates   302 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,560 a problem which is unique.   303 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,600 Food is unique in two ways.   304 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,520 It is a unique resource.   305 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,800 And secondly, the consequences of not having food   306 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,240 mean that people die.   307 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,480 They don't just suffer.   308 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,400 For us, to adjust to the oil shortage is one thing.   309 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,320 You can't postpone the need for supper very long the way   310 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,160 you can postpone a Sunday drive.   311 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,520 So it's a unique commodity.   312 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,440 And to isolate it highlights that.   313 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,320 By isolating the food problem, I think   314 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,700 we have identified some specific categories that   315 00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,240 will help us to deal with food and other things.   316 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,920 As we push the issue of the international common good,   317 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,380 we are asking the question, what is   318 00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:58,480 the scope of our responsibility in an interdependent world?   319 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,780 Are all the family inside the national borders or not?   320 00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:05,440 Secondly, the food issue has been argued in justice terms.   321 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,720 That is to say, the structure of our responsibility   322 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320 is not one of charity, meaning that we share when   323 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,020 we have a surplus, but that in an interdependent world,   324 00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:14,800 the challenging issue is, what do you   325 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,320 do in a situation of managing scarcity?   326 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,960 It is that question that has been raised   327 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,560 in dealing with the food issue.   328 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,500 The weakness of the food problem is   329 00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,680 that food is a prismatic case, but it is not   330 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,800 a self-sufficient explanation of the problem facing   331 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,600 a transnational world.   332 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Food symbolizes the problem of global injustice,   333 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,280 but behind the hungry of the world is the poor of the world.   334 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,920 To isolate the food problem means   335 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,240 that you cut the discussion off at key points.   336 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,820 You don't discuss trade.   337 00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:44,040 You don't discuss the distribution problem,   338 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,000 the role of the market in international economy   339 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,480 and what its limits are facing a problem like the food issue.   340 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,440 And so the discussion gets cut off.   341 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,160 In summary, then, food is a medium   342 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,880 through which we see the larger issue of global justice.   343 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,440 But it is not just a means.   344 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,440 We don't use the food issue just as a teaching example.   345 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,720 It has intrinsic significance, especially   346 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,240 for the largest food-producing nation in the world.   347 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,280 Finally, the spaceship earth model.   348 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,000 This approach goes beyond food as a single problem.   349 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,660 It situates the food and hunger problem   350 00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:15,160 within the context of the fabric of all   351 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,360 the international transnational problems.   352 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,960 Those problems are usually described in empirical terms   353 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,480 as the questions of the international economic order.   354 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,920 They are described in ethical terms   355 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,960 as the problems of international justice.   356 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,640 The representatives of the spaceship earth model   357 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,120 are documents, for instance, like the Justice   358 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,300 in the World Document of the Synod of Bishops in 1974,   359 00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:38,120 the writings of Barbara Ward, and in empirical terms,   360 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,380 the whole range of issues that today are clustered   361 00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:43,140 under the new international economic order.   362 00:15:43,140 --> 00:15:46,420 What is the ethical commentary on the spaceship Earth model?   363 00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:49,260 Its style of analysis, I think, is significant.   364 00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:51,740 It stresses the interdependence of the world,   365 00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:55,060 not just in material terms, but also in ethical terms.   366 00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:56,420 To live in an interdependent world   367 00:15:56,420 --> 00:15:59,540 doesn't mean just there's more communication and more travel   368 00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:01,580 and more sharing of ideas.   369 00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:04,340 It means that we are locked together in a limited world.   370 00:16:04,340 --> 00:16:07,100 We're locked together, and vulnerability to each other   371 00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,460 creates responsibility for one another.   372 00:16:09,460 --> 00:16:11,260 We're locked together in a limited world,   373 00:16:11,260 --> 00:16:13,420 where managing scarcity means there may be only   374 00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:14,820 so much for so many.   375 00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:17,540 And how do you decide in that kind of world?   376 00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:21,100 The significance of the spaceship Earth discussion   377 00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,780 in empirical terms is that it gathers together,   378 00:16:23,780 --> 00:16:25,980 for example, in the new international economic order   379 00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:29,380 discussion, several issues, joins them systematically,   380 00:16:29,380 --> 00:16:31,180 And it forms a position that is then   381 00:16:31,180 --> 00:16:33,860 argued in empirical and moral terms,   382 00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:36,380 arguing that current economic arrangements are not   383 00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:38,620 only ineffective but unjust.   384 00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:40,700 The argument is not simply about redistribution   385 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,100 of wealth in the new international economic order.   386 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:45,120 It is also about redistribution of power   387 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,740 in the international arena.   388 00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:49,900 It discusses not just specific issues like the food issue,   389 00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:51,940 but the whole set of rules and relationships   390 00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:56,900 that govern a world that now is a world of 135 plus states.   391 00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:00,900 And those states ask not only for political independence,   392 00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:02,200 but economic independence.   393 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,100 And that may be a much tougher move   394 00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:06,580 than the move of decolonization.   395 00:17:06,580 --> 00:17:09,980 So in those terms, I think the significance of the debate   396 00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:12,620 is the way it is posed in the spaceship Earth debate.   397 00:17:12,620 --> 00:17:14,860 I think food can take us into that debate,   398 00:17:14,860 --> 00:17:16,340 help us to see some of the issues,   399 00:17:16,340 --> 00:17:18,260 but we need to go beyond it.   400 00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:19,940 As Christians, we come to this issue   401 00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:23,180 with no special intelligence, if you will,   402 00:17:23,180 --> 00:17:26,060 but with special things that characterize our life.   403 00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:29,340 what we believe and how we think and how we can act.   404 00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:31,140 We believe in a transnational world   405 00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:33,980 before anyone talked about it as a transnational world,   406 00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:37,040 that it's a community because we recite the creed every Sunday.   407 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,900 And the community is rooted in the God we know as Father   408 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,620 and the incarnation as a universal event   409 00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:44,620 and the goal toward which we all move.   410 00:17:44,620 --> 00:17:45,780 We don't even believe that.   411 00:17:45,780 --> 00:17:48,180 We celebrate it every time we do the Eucharist.   412 00:17:48,180 --> 00:17:50,580 You cannot do the Eucharist, I think,   413 00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:54,840 and accept a world where the enemies exist by definition.   414 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,480 We think about the world in specific categories.   415 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,320 Others may not think about it in those terms,   416 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,600 but we can argue those categories in reasonable terms   417 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,120 and put them forward for the basis of public policy   418 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,560 discussion.   419 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,460 Charity has as its minimal demand justice,   420 00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:12,560 and justice in international relations   421 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,280 is the key term today.   422 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,440 We think about our lives socially   423 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,420 in terms of Catholic social teaching.   424 00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:20,280 We also think about them personally.   425 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,960 And so the church is in a unique position   426 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,920 to help people deal with what I think   427 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,460 are the three levels of the problem,   428 00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:27,340 and with this I'll close.   429 00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:29,620 The church can help people form a conscience   430 00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:30,980 that is a social conscience,   431 00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:33,900 addressing the structural problem of the policies   432 00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,380 of nations in an interdependent world.   433 00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:38,620 The national constituency needs to be   434 00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:40,340 a constituency of conscience.   435 00:18:40,340 --> 00:18:43,660 The church by definition is a constituency of conscience   436 00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:45,660 if it is faithful to its ministry.   437 00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:47,540 Secondly, the church can create structures   438 00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:49,360 of private sharing, and we've done that,   439 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,280 Catholic Relief Services and others,   440 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,900 to supplement government action.   441 00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,140 We don't think the state can do everything.   442 00:18:55,140 --> 00:18:57,460 And finally, even in our own personal life,   443 00:18:57,460 --> 00:19:00,500 in a day like today, we talk about the world food problem,   444 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:02,700 but we also share one loaf of bread.   445 00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:05,300 We know what fasting is, and we think it's important,   446 00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,820 not because it solves the structural problem of hunger,   447 00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,500 but because it reminds us we live in a hungry world.   448 00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:13,100 100 years ago, Dostoevsky said, the death   449 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:16,620 of one innocent child is enough to destroy belief in God.   450 00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,980 Today, the world is much smaller,   451 00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:20,380 and we know how many innocent children die.   452 00:19:20,380 --> 00:19:23,140 And that sentence makes a lot more sense to us.   453 00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:24,660 And so we gather here to make sure   454 00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:26,940 that God may be believed in more firmly,   455 00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:28,700 because fewer innocent children will die.   456 00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:29,700 Thank you, Bob.   457 00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:30,700 Thank you.   458 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:13,260 The procedure from herein will be relatively simple.   459 00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:23,100 Father has given us a tremendous amount to comment upon, respond to, but we shall also   460 00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:27,040 need the opinion of our resource people.   461 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,200 Further procedure should be as follows.   462 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,400 We shall hear the respondents.   463 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,520 But while we are hearing them, the resource persons   464 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:43,140 are free to interrupt, to make a point.   465 00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:48,280 The chair will decide if the point is pertinent.   466 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,960 Also, the respondents can call upon the resource people   467 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,360 while they are talking.   468 00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,220 No one else can.   469 00:20:57,220 --> 00:21:00,340 We are deliberately reserving a period   470 00:21:00,340 --> 00:21:04,020 at the conclusion of the responses   471 00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:07,860 so that anyone from the audience can ask Father Hare,   472 00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:11,340 or the respondents, or the resource people,   473 00:21:11,340 --> 00:21:16,780 any questions they choose until the chair decides   474 00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:20,220 it's time to go home and take advantage   475 00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:22,620 of such lack of resources as there   476 00:21:22,620 --> 00:21:28,080 may be to alleviate hunger in this part of the world.   477 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,160 Therefore, I ask first of all Father Arthur Simon   478 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,960 if he will respond.   479 00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:48,200 Cardinal Wright, members of the panel, audience,   480 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,400 first let me say I'm delighted to be here.   481 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,200 Long before I was invited, when I first   482 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,900 saw the theme of the Congress, the hungers   483 00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:59,600 of the human family, I was excited   484 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,400 because I thought this is absolutely on target.   485 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,080 It's just right.   486 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:10,840 Eucharist and hunger belong together as concerns.   487 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,660 As Father Bill Byron down here, others   488 00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:17,780 who were initially in on trying to piece together   489 00:22:17,780 --> 00:22:20,600 the idea of Bread for the World a few years ago,   490 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,160 will say, we started with one basic conviction   491 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,960 that our action on world hunger should be explicitly linked   492 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,000 to the corporate worship of the faithful,   493 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,200 an expression of our celebration of the gospel,   494 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,240 best reflected in the Eucharist.   495 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,400 Unfortunately, we are an interdenominational   496 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,060 organization.   497 00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:49,480 We can't do that.   498 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,200 So we do it through prayer services,   499 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,300 but we do want to make that link as clear and explicit   500 00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:55,720 as we can.   501 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,960 Eucharist and hunger go together.   502 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,340 I have over there a little paperback   503 00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:05,780 that I did a few years ago before Bread for the World   504 00:23:05,780 --> 00:23:06,940 was conceived.   505 00:23:06,940 --> 00:23:08,860 I have a chapter on Eucharist and hunger.   506 00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:10,980 And I was going to read from the opening paragraph,   507 00:23:10,980 --> 00:23:12,480 but for the sake of time, I decided   508 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,760 to be kind to the audience and, of course,   509 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,460 remembering a cardinal rights threat here.   510 00:23:19,460 --> 00:23:28,220 But in that chapter, I not only make the point   511 00:23:28,220 --> 00:23:31,260 that the Eucharist is an essential resource for Christians   512 00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:37,340 if we're going to understand and deal with human hunger,   513 00:23:37,340 --> 00:23:41,940 I elaborate then on John 6, the feeding of the multitude,   514 00:23:41,940 --> 00:23:43,780 and the discourse that follows.   515 00:23:43,780 --> 00:23:48,060 Here, in this text that has been understood by the Church   516 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,300 through the ages as being a Eucharistic event,   517 00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:56,620 our Lord surely was trying to indicate in some basic way   518 00:23:56,620 --> 00:24:01,940 that we were not meant to commune in his body   519 00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,660 at the altar without sensing a comparable commitment   520 00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:10,300 to share bread with a hungry world.   521 00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:14,020 And that leads me to what is really my first point here,   522 00:24:14,020 --> 00:24:19,020 And that is that love must express itself in justice   523 00:24:19,140 --> 00:24:23,540 if we are to share bread effectively in today's world.   524 00:24:23,540 --> 00:24:26,300 And I was very pleased that Father Hare   525 00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:31,300 in his lucid analysis came down very emphatically   526 00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:35,720 on the theme of justice.   527 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,460 Let me illustrate that briefly with a parable   528 00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:43,740 that I, for which I'm indebted to Ron Sider,   529 00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:46,280 A friend of mine here in Philadelphia,   530 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,140 a Pentecostal Christian, who I saw earlier this morning.   531 00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:53,380 I don't know if he's here this afternoon,   532 00:24:53,380 --> 00:24:56,540 but he has been attending the Congress.   533 00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:05,340 There was a village at the foot of a mountain,   534 00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:11,300 but unfortunately, the mountain had treacherous roads.   535 00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:13,380 And to get across the mountain, you   536 00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:19,160 had to drive on narrow, narrow roads with hairpin turns.   537 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,300 And there were many accidents.   538 00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,940 A lot of people killed and many, many others injured,   539 00:25:23,940 --> 00:25:29,400 especially at one very treacherous part of the road.   540 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,960 Well, the people in the village, being Christians,   541 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,200 were deeply concerned about this.   542 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,660 And so they pooled their resources   543 00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:39,300 and bought an ambulance and began   544 00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:43,320 to operate an ambulance service to drive the injured   545 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,680 to a hospital in the next town.   546 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,040 They did this, and they did it well.   547 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000 A visitor came to the village, and he   548 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,920 was deeply impressed with the compassion of these Christians   549 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,520 and the effectiveness of their ambulance service   550 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:06,600 in helping the injured, preventing deaths.   551 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,400 But as the visitor began to talk to the villagers,   552 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,520 he said, in addition to operating your ambulance   553 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:20,400 service, why don't you fix the road?   554 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,360 Or at least, at that one particularly treacherous point,   555 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:29,160 lay the road out in a different place.   556 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,460 If you change the location of the road,   557 00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:36,760 you can prevent most of the deaths and injuries.   558 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,180 Well, the villagers explained that that wasn't really   559 00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:45,580 a very plausible idea, because the road had been there   560 00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:48,420 that way for as long as any of them could remember.   561 00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:50,460 And besides, the mayor of the village   562 00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:53,340 owned a restaurant and a filling station   563 00:26:53,340 --> 00:26:56,980 very close to that particular turn in the road.   564 00:26:56,980 --> 00:26:59,620 And if they changed the location of the road,   565 00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:03,260 the mayor's business would be wiped out.   566 00:27:03,260 --> 00:27:06,460 The visitor suggested that perhaps, since the mayor was   567 00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:10,900 a Christian, some of them could go talk to the mayor about it.   568 00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,060 And surely something could be worked out.   569 00:27:13,060 --> 00:27:17,500 But that if the mayor proved to be very stubborn on the matter,   570 00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:21,860 then they could elect a different mayor   571 00:27:21,860 --> 00:27:26,380 and work through the problem that way.   572 00:27:26,380 --> 00:27:30,420 At this point, the villagers became shocked and incensed.   573 00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:35,140 And they told the visitor that the church   574 00:27:35,140 --> 00:27:41,700 had no business getting entangled into politics that way.   575 00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:46,460 The church, they said, was called   576 00:27:46,460 --> 00:27:52,060 to offer the gospel in a cup of cold water.   577 00:27:52,060 --> 00:28:00,860 And so the visitor went away wondering to himself   578 00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:09,920 why it was more spiritual to operate an ambulance service   579 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,460 than to get at the cause of the problem,   580 00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:20,860 to bring about some structural change.   581 00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:22,580 Well, the application of that parable   582 00:28:22,580 --> 00:28:26,420 is self-evident to us all.   583 00:28:26,420 --> 00:28:30,300 If we're going to move effectively on hunger today,   584 00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,540 We must go the way of justice.   585 00:28:32,540 --> 00:28:38,780 We must get at some of the basic causes of the problem.   586 00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:41,880 We've got to change the road and not only   587 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,200 operate an ambulance service.   588 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:50,140 And I think one bottom line way of doing this   589 00:28:50,140 --> 00:28:54,580 is by starting with the right to food,   590 00:28:54,580 --> 00:28:56,300 the right of every person in the world   591 00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:58,700 to a nutritionally adequate diet,   592 00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:02,100 and carrying out the implications of that.   593 00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:05,180 As some of you know, the right to food resolution in Congress   594 00:29:05,180 --> 00:29:09,860 has been bred for the world's big push this year.   595 00:29:09,860 --> 00:29:12,580 That leads me to my next point, and that   596 00:29:12,580 --> 00:29:17,660 is that hunger is preeminently a public policy issue.   597 00:29:17,660 --> 00:29:21,360 Hunger is many things, requires many responses.   598 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,780 But among all the responses, surely it   599 00:29:26,780 --> 00:29:31,980 requires the response of addressing public policy   600 00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:34,300 change and the need for public policy change.   601 00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:38,100 Again, I was very pleased that in Father Hayer's analysis,   602 00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:40,520 as with Bishop Rauch's speech this morning,   603 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:46,820 that was very emphatically stressed.   604 00:29:46,820 --> 00:29:53,300 Every year, Congress takes single actions   605 00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:59,820 on particular bills, any number of them, any one of which   606 00:29:59,820 --> 00:30:05,140 has the effect of either undoing, wiping out,   607 00:30:05,140 --> 00:30:09,940 or multiplying the value of all our contributions   608 00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:12,180 in all the churches in this country   609 00:30:12,180 --> 00:30:17,420 during the course of the year to help relieve or eliminate   610 00:30:17,420 --> 00:30:19,300 hunger.   611 00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:23,700 In church, we can give to help the hungry.   612 00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,660 But if we are silent on public policy,   613 00:30:25,660 --> 00:30:30,420 we will be locking people more deeply into hunger.   614 00:30:30,420 --> 00:30:32,660 And that leads me to my third and final point.   615 00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:39,420 That is that we must help to bring about a citizen   616 00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:43,200 response to the hunger issue.   617 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,140 Let me illustrate that.   618 00:30:45,140 --> 00:30:50,700 A few years ago, Barbara Ward, a distinguished development   619 00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:58,820 economist from Britain and a devout Catholic,   620 00:30:58,820 --> 00:31:01,620 attended a Sotapox consultation where   621 00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:04,460 top church leaders and some top professional people   622 00:31:04,460 --> 00:31:08,900 dealt with the topic, what is the church's responsibility   623 00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,780 in a world of hunger and poverty?   624 00:31:11,780 --> 00:31:14,180 And it so often happens at these top level meetings,   625 00:31:14,180 --> 00:31:17,620 all of the right things were said and decided,   626 00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:20,300 including the importance of dealing with public policy   627 00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:24,980 change and the responsibility of Christians as citizens   628 00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:27,820 to make an impact on government here.   629 00:31:27,820 --> 00:31:29,980 And Barbara Ward came to this country   630 00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:34,980 following that Sotopax consultation   631 00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:36,220 in a state of euphoria.   632 00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:39,580 And she, at an informal meeting of senators in Washington,   633 00:31:39,580 --> 00:31:42,140 she announced to them that the churches in this country   634 00:31:42,140 --> 00:31:46,820 were about to build broad public support for a big new program   635 00:31:46,820 --> 00:31:48,940 of global development.   636 00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:53,580 You know what Senator Mondale's response to her was?   637 00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:58,180 Mondale said, Barbara, I'll call you   638 00:31:58,180 --> 00:32:02,060 when I get the first letter.   639 00:32:02,060 --> 00:32:04,860 And a couple of years ago, I heard Mondale say,   640 00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:09,780 I haven't had to make that call yet.   641 00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:10,660 Why?   642 00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:12,860 Where are the Christians?   643 00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:16,100 Where are the people who care?   644 00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,660 I think people do care, lots and lots of them.   645 00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:22,860 And they're in our churches on Sundays.   646 00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:25,980 But what Mondale was emphasizing is   647 00:32:25,980 --> 00:32:28,380 what I call the citizenship gap, the failure   648 00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:31,300 on the part of ordinary people like ourselves   649 00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:34,700 who do care when others go hungry, failure on our part   650 00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:38,380 to register our concern in a way that   651 00:32:38,380 --> 00:32:41,720 makes a difference to the decision makers in Washington,   652 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,260 because they haven't heard from us that way.   653 00:32:45,260 --> 00:32:48,420 Their decisions have tended to be the wrong decisions.   654 00:32:48,420 --> 00:32:52,340 And we've turned aside from the hunger of the world.   655 00:32:52,340 --> 00:32:57,580 We've tended to turn inward upon ourselves.   656 00:32:57,580 --> 00:33:00,140 So the citizenship response, the response   657 00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:01,700 in the area of public policy is the one   658 00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:07,220 that I see as being the most crucial, the most desperately   659 00:33:07,220 --> 00:33:10,380 needed today in the Church and the way that, best of all,   660 00:33:10,380 --> 00:33:15,100 we can help to repeat the miracle of the loaves   661 00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:15,860 and fishes.   662 00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:19,020 And the strength to do that can be   663 00:33:19,020 --> 00:33:21,640 drawn from the Eucharist, where we   664 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,100 celebrate the secret of life.   665 00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:26,080 Thank you.   666 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:46,080 Thank you very much, Phil. Thank you for reminding us of miracles. Phil, may we have your response,   667 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,980 comments, critique?   668 00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:56,560 This is the end of Part 1 of Panel B in the Hunger Symposium, Hunger and People's Conscience.   669 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:02,500 To hear the comments, critiques, and questions and answers, play tape EC107.   </div> Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Audio cassette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I guess you got that from the program, but I'm the academic   2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,600 chairman of the food marketing department at St. Joseph's College here in Philadelphia.   3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,140 Food marketing and food distribution, as you probably know, is fairly unique as a college   4 00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:21,120 major in this country. There are only six schools that actually have a food marketing   5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,720 major as such, so we're rather proud of what we've done and some of the successes over   6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,320 the years. Our panel today deals with really, the title's kind of long there, I know, it's   7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,680 the Christian Community and Domestic Programs to End Malnutrition. That's kind of a mouthful,   8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,600 but basically we're concerned with the problem of food distribution, food marketing, food   9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,600 service in the United States, that is the domestic problems. I suspect we will concentrate   10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,800 more on the problem of the low income than the poor, than in general, but at the same   11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,400 time the subject is broad enough that we can move into several different areas. We have   12 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,000 four panelists here today. Let me just very quickly run them down. Mr. Patrick Temple West,   13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,560 who is Director of Nutritional Services for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. You can tell which   14 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,520 one Pat is, I guess, fairly easily. Patricia Young, the Chairperson of the Crusade Against   15 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,600 Hunger of the National Council of Churches out of New York. Mary Ellen Lloyd, who is the Elder   16 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,120 of the Germantown Community Presbyterian Church and Chairperson of the Trinity Synod Hunger Task   17 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,360 force on the far end there. And Miss Viola Sanders, who is the educational chairperson   18 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,440 of the Pennsylvania Welfare Rights Organization, so that I think we've got a pretty good mixture   19 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,440 of fairly broad coverage here. We argued for about half an hour who was going to go first   20 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400 and we finally decided there was only one possible solution, that the gentleman had   21 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,880 to go first. And he doesn't want to, but he's going to anyhow. So that, as I said, Patrick   22 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,660 Temple West is the director of the Nutritional Development Services for the Yash Diocese.   23 00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:52,860 He is a graduate of St. Joe's.   24 00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:54,980 He got his master's at Drexel University.   25 00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:56,760 Pat worked for the Academy of Food Marketing   26 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400 for two years or more, so that we've worked together   27 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,740 many times over the years.   28 00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:02,780 And I'll turn it over to him at this point.   29 00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:03,600 Pat.   30 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,400 Thank you.   31 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,900 As Dan pointed out, that topic is kind of vast.   32 00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,020 The domestic programs to try and talk about in a quarter   33 00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:26,620 now are all federal and non-federal and private programs   34 00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:30,220 to end hunger in the United States is pretty big.   35 00:02:30,220 --> 00:02:32,520 I deal with, within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia,   36 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,320 we deal with most federal and a lot of non-federal programs   37 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,720 which are designed to alleviate hunger.   38 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,520 From the WIC program, through preschool, school lunch,   39 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,240 food stamp outreach, elderly programs, food co-ops,   40 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,400 all these are the sort of things, gardening,   41 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 inner city vegetable gardening, this sort of thing.   42 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,200 So one of the things that I have found   43 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,240 in dealing with these programs, it's   44 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,720 very hard to look at a program and see whether or not   45 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,120 it is valid.   46 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,520 How can you tell whether or not the food stamp   47 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,920 program is sufficient?   48 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,080 And what basis do you have?   49 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,040 And if you say, well, what basis is,   50 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,080 what Christian basis is there for the food steps   51 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,120 or for the school lunch program?   52 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Well, what I'm going to do is I'm going to talk   53 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,920 about two things.   54 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,840 I'm going to talk about determining   55 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,440 individual food allotments.   56 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,960 How much food do you give a person?   57 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440 How do you figure out how much you should give somebody?   58 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,760 And how do you determine whether a person   59 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,120 is eligible or not?   60 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,600 Okay, for that food.   61 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,760 And I'm going to do it, not uniquely,   62 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,020 because you probably had it a lot by now,   63 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:49,700 But I'm going to read, because this is my life,   64 00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:53,220 and I guess today and this week is where we put our hearts   65 00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:57,220 in our sleeve, from Mark.   66 00:03:57,220 --> 00:04:00,300 And I'm going to read the feeding of the 5,000.   67 00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:04,860 And what I would like you to do is think about,   68 00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:08,040 as I read this, the National School Lunch Program.   69 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,540 It's very simple to think about the National School Lunch   70 00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:13,460 Food Program, the National School Lunch Program in this.   71 00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:17,740 But you can also go through it, think about as I go through it,   72 00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:21,900 the food stamp program and elderly program.   73 00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:25,060 Now, just let me read it, and I may, as I go through,   74 00:04:25,060 --> 00:04:27,980 comment on it, and I will afterwards.   75 00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:33,160 Upon Jesus' just coming off a boat, upon disembarking,   76 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,100 Jesus saw a vast crowd.   77 00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,820 He pitied them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd.   78 00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:40,780 And he began to teach them a great length.   79 00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:42,980 He was teaching.   80 00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:46,580 who is now getting late, and his disciples came to him with a suggestion.   81 00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:49,580 This is a deserted place and it is already late.   82 00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:54,580 Why do you not dismiss them so that they can go to the crossroads and villages around here   83 00:04:54,580 --> 00:04:56,580 and buy themselves something to eat?   84 00:04:56,580 --> 00:04:59,580 Let them go home and get something to eat.   85 00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:06,580 You give them something to eat, Jesus said.   86 00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:09,580 And at that they said,   87 00:05:09,580 --> 00:05:13,300 are we to go and spend 200 days wages for bread to feed them?   88 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:17,260 No, we can't possibly feed all these people.   89 00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:20,420 How many loaves do you have?   90 00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:25,140 Jesus asked. Go and see. Go and find out what you've got.   91 00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:28,660 That's it.   92 00:05:28,660 --> 00:05:32,460 When they had learned the number, they answered, five and two fish.   93 00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:40,020 And he told them to make the people sit down on the green grass in groups or parties.   94 00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:44,680 And the people took their places in hundreds and fifties, neatly arranged like flower beds.   95 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,040 And then taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven, pronounced   96 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,340 a blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to distribute.   97 00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:57,420 He divided the two fish among all of them, and they ate until they'd had their fill."   98 00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:01,180 That's an interesting point.   99 00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:08,960 And they gathered up enough leftovers to fill 12 baskets besides what remained of the fish.   100 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,500 And those who'd numbered, those who'd eaten the loaves numbered about 5,000 men.   101 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,520 Now, this is very interesting.   102 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,700 Certain things come into consideration.   103 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:23,460 5,000 people there, at least 5,000 men, we're told.   104 00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:28,100 Maybe it's, being very conservative, a similar number of women and children.   105 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,300 So about 10,000 people, perhaps?   106 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:35,300 I don't know. I'm not the theologian in my family.   107 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,680 But, well, we can say 5,000 anyway then.   108 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,880 In 5,000, you're going to have, now they all got it, okay?   109 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,460 Everybody got it. Everybody was out there.   110 00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:51,460 Whether they were rich or poor, or in a crowd of 5,000,   111 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,840 you're gonna have a few pickpockets, okay?   112 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,280 You're gonna have a few crooks.   113 00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,520 You're gonna have a few hangers on of crowds,   114 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,720 crowds, rather, they all got it, because most of them, when Jesus looked out and saw them,   115 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:16,440 he said, this group here, as a group, as a category, if you wish, is hungry. It needs   116 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,760 food now. Quite possibly, there were some there who didn't, a few who didn't. They may have brought   117 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,040 their own food, okay? The disciples are not going to go and check each one of   118 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,800 those 5,000 people to find out whether they've got food. They were going to go   119 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,960 around to the first few in the first few rows. Who were there   120 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:42,200 last night, you know? 300,000 people. That's a lot of people. You can't go   121 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240 and possibly check on each person to find out what they have. So there were a   122 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,980 few people and they brought their own stuff, but they got food too. So one of the ways   123 00:07:51,980 --> 00:07:58,660 of determining eligibility, that is, who do you give food to? In the United States   124 00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:02,220 there are two ways of doing it. One's called the categorical and one's   125 00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:10,420 individual. One way of determining whether or not people are eligible for   126 00:08:10,420 --> 00:08:16,060 food programs is to go to each one and say how much money do you have? You   127 00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:19,420 personally, how much money do you have? How much money do you have in the bank?   128 00:08:19,420 --> 00:08:27,100 let me see, I want to see this. Now, these people come from proven low-income areas,   129 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:32,860 the vast areas, North Philadelphia, just take North Philadelphia, most people in   130 00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:38,620 North Philadelphia, by any stretch of the imagination, are poor. Now, there will be   131 00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:48,060 one or two people in there, a few hardy souls, who are a little better off, but   132 00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:56,060 The way the food programs in the United States are going now is to go to each one of those people and say,   133 00:08:56,060 --> 00:09:04,060 to be eligible for approved food program, you have to prove to me that you have a certain, you don't have a certain amount of money,   134 00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:14,060 or that you don't have a certain amount of food, or you don't have a certain amount of your house doesn't cost so much, or you don't have two cars.   135 00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:23,260 Okay? It seems to me that a Christian approach to determining people would be on a categorical basis   136 00:09:24,540 --> 00:09:27,980 from the scriptures. We can argue that, but that's how Jesus did it.   137 00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:31,980 I can't go, you've only got a quarter of an hour, so you're going to stop me, right?   138 00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,220 The other thing, how much food did Jesus give?   139 00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:47,140 Well, that's an interesting question, but it says they all, they, they, they, and I'm   140 00:09:47,140 --> 00:09:52,320 just taking marks, until it had their fill.   141 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,620 He kept giving it to them, right?   142 00:09:54,620 --> 00:10:01,500 Seconds, thirds, fourths, until they said, I can't eat anymore, right?   143 00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,420 I can't eat anymore.   144 00:10:03,420 --> 00:10:08,100 The decision as to when to stop was up to them, not up to Jesus.   145 00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:12,380 Jesus did not say, I am only going to give you two loaves and one fish.   146 00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:13,380 That's enough.   147 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,820 That's all you need.   148 00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:17,060 I decide for you, that's all you need.   149 00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:19,980 No, the decision was up to them.   150 00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:28,020 Okay, now that's a little harder for domestic programs to swallow, to give people until   151 00:10:28,020 --> 00:10:38,900 a rolling with stomach aches. But I think that what we should do is if we err to err   152 00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:43,540 on the side of generosity. And let me take the food stamp program. The food stamp program   153 00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:51,620 has as its basis something called the thrifty food plan. The thrifty food plan is an amount   154 00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:58,900 of food based on the recommended dietary allowances established by the federal   155 00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:08,380 government, it is possible to live on that. It is possible. It is not practical.   156 00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:15,020 People, generally speaking, don't live on that, okay? It would seem to me to be a   157 00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:24,100 more Christian allotment to set up a higher allotment. The government has three   158 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:29,580 higher allotments, a higher, a moderate, and a low-cost food plans. It would seem   159 00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:33,900 to me that a more Christian approach to setting a base for the food stamp   160 00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:44,220 program would be the low-cost food program, which, picture taking time, which   161 00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:51,740 would, which one could recommend to others. It would be very hard, now some of   162 00:11:51,740 --> 00:12:00,100 you who've been hearing that we have to restrict our food intake, okay, we have to   163 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:05,300 get others to restrict our food intake. We have to, we are eating, you heard, we eat twice as much   164 00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:13,180 protein as we need. What is a valid amount of protein? Does any, you know, that's a, for a lay   165 00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:18,780 person that is a hard thing to determine, okay. However, the government has all these figures. The   166 00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:25,500 government has, it's broken down, it's higher cost, high cost, moderate, and low cost food plants. I   167 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:37,500 I would suggest the low-cost food program would be a very good food program for Catholics to assume, for Christians to assume, for all people of goodwill to live by.   168 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:45,500 It's one that can be lived by. The thrifty food plan, I don't think you're going to get very many people to accept.   169 00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:52,500 Okay? The nutritionists are coming out pro and con. There's a big to-do about that program.   170 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:58,500 It is not a generous food program. It is a meager food program. It is a meager plan.   171 00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:06,500 Therefore, I would suggest that the low-cost food plan be a more Christian approach.   172 00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:12,420 and any plan that errs on the side of generosity to people.   173 00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:18,700 Present food programs in the United States,   174 00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:24,600 generally speaking, are designed to preserve the status quo.   175 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,820 In fact, most domestic welfare programs   176 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,200 are designed to promote the status quo.   177 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:41,600 They do not give a person enough to help them to get out of the cycle of poverty.   178 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:51,440 They don't allow a person to develop himself, to come up to, as in the development of the people,   179 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,560 Pope Paul's encyclical. They do not allow a person to raise themselves up.   180 00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:06,520 We need a Christian approach, would be one which gives and gives, full measure, press down, and   181 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:14,640 flowing over. Okay? Full measure, flowing over, abundantly, abundantly, is probably the key word.   182 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:22,600 The decision, if one has the courage to make the decision, or has the courage to do this,   183 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,500 And this is a real lyric leap into faith and into trust and into love.   184 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:33,440 Because if we are to love our fellow man, that means we are to trust him.   185 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,760 And we are to trust him to make the decision for us.   186 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:44,440 As Jesus did not make the decision for them when to stop eating, so perhaps we should   187 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,440 and this is a rather hard saying,   188 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,600 but perhaps we should allow the poor to tell us   189 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120 when to stop giving to them.   190 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,640 Would seem to be a Christian approach.   191 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640 However, that's so much for food.   192 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,680 And let me, in the light of this Eucharistic Congress,   193 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,040 say another thing.   194 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,320 We can talk too much about food itself.   195 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:18,960 And let me just continue with the repercussion of what happened at the feeding of the 5,000.   196 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,400 And I'm going to go on from John.   197 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,880 And Jesus went to the boat and he went across to the other side of the lake and the people ran around after him.   198 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,040 And when they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him,   199 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Rabbi, when did you come here?   200 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:42,080 And Jesus answered them, I assure you, you are not looking for me because you have seen signs, but because you have eaten of your fill of the loaves.   201 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,960 You should not be working for perishable food, but for the food that remains unto life eternal,   202 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,800 the food which the Son of Man will give you.   203 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,400 It is on Him that God the Father has set His seal.   204 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,680 I myself am the living bread come down from heaven, and if anyone eats this bread, he   205 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,600 shall live forever.   206 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:10,960 The bread I give is my flesh for the life of the world."   207 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:22,300 When you think of food programs in that light, that surely is the end result.   208 00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:29,220 We have to somehow get to the point where Mahatma Gandhi was, that we have to be prepared   209 00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:34,720 to starve ourselves so that others may live.   210 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,660 We have the choice.   211 00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:38,660 Other people don't.   212 00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:43,460 I mean, the people who are starving don't have a choice whether they can starve or live.   213 00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:44,900 They just starve.   214 00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:45,900 We have the choice.   215 00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:46,900 We can either starve or live.   216 00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:49,780 We can make that choice ourselves.   217 00:16:49,780 --> 00:16:57,060 Unfortunately, our federal food programs are not conducted in such a spirit.   218 00:16:57,060 --> 00:17:09,460 And perhaps what I have just said could lead to a more, give some idea of a Christian approach.   219 00:17:09,460 --> 00:17:14,460 Food stamps are still big in Congress right now, big in Congress.   220 00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:18,800 And there are always bills coming up.   221 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,180 It seems to me that if you want a guideline as which vote, which one to vote for, vote   222 00:17:24,180 --> 00:17:26,540 for the most generous.   223 00:17:26,540 --> 00:17:29,820 for the most generous and I don't think you can go wrong.   224 00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:30,620 Thank you.   225 00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:39,900 Thank you, Pat.   226 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,820 I'm kind of glad you did go first now because you did sort   227 00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:44,900 of let it all hang out as you promised.   228 00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,460 Also, I think that does sort of set the tone for what most   229 00:17:47,460 --> 00:17:49,060 of us have in mind, at least I think it does,   230 00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:51,220 but we'll see how it progresses.   231 00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:53,780 Ms. Patricia Young is the chairperson, as I mentioned,   232 00:17:53,780 --> 00:17:55,740 of the Crusade Against Hunger of the National Council   233 00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:59,740 churches and I'd like her to go second please.   234 00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:13,760 When I began preparing for this, for some reason my thoughts kept   235 00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:20,060 going back to a noon session in the Oval Office on December the   236 00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,860 6th, 1969.   237 00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:25,640 The White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health had   238 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,680 just ended and six of us had been fasting together while preparing to take   239 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,280 the message of the White House conference to President Nixon. And as we   240 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:43,120 had talked about what kind of a reception we would get there, we became   241 00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:47,360 very apprehensive because we had been told that the atmosphere there was   242 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:52,200 absolutely frigid. You see Mr. Nixon had come to address the conference and had   243 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,820 gotten slightly, slight applause and Mr. McGovern had come and gotten an ovation.   244 00:18:57,820 --> 00:19:02,260 And the things that were being said by the people at the conference, such as   245 00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:08,400 George Wiley and so forth, were not very acceptable at the White House. And so we   246 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:15,240 would have 15 minutes that we would be allowed one spokesperson and that was it.   247 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,640 So as we sat there I was listening because here sat a Jesuit priest and   248 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,740 economist and several other people and just before we were   249 00:19:25,780 --> 00:19:30,220 ready to leave they pointed to me and said that I was to be the   250 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,320 spokesperson in as much as I was the least threatening.   251 00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:40,060 There were black and Chicano in the group and I was white.   252 00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:42,100 I was lay and not clergy.   253 00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:49,360 I was a woman and not a man and I was a Republican and the only   254 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:54,200 one in the group.   255 00:19:54,200 --> 00:20:01,200 I naturally, all of a sudden, it felt like the whole world had descended upon me.   256 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,120 And at that moment, perhaps the thing that occurred to me that would have occurred to   257 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:10,120 all of you, can someone please say a prayer before we leave?   258 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:14,120 And so Father McEwen did say a prayer.   259 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:17,280 And as we left, people knew we were on the way to the White House, and they were lined   260 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,640 on both sides of the lobby as we went through on the way to our White House car.   261 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000 Everybody said, what can we do for you?   262 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,200 And all I could say was pray.   263 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,480 And we went to the White House, sat in Mr. Monaghan's office, and eventually were ushered   264 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,720 into the Oval Office.   265 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,160 And I have to believe that that prayer at least helped us get through the meeting.   266 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,920 It didn't help much action thereafter, but it helped us get through the meeting.   267 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,920 we did have almost an hour and everyone got a chance to talk.   268 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,000 Because I said to the president we all have something to say to   269 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,140 you. What he said to us was don't judge me by what I say but   270 00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:05,360 what I do. I remember that often as we have been working now   271 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:10,120 since 1969 to get something to happen and we have made progress   272 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,800 in food programs but not in truly alleviating poverty in   273 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,200 this country are the root causes that bring about poverty.   274 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:25,640 And so we come again to a massive conference with prayer in our hearts that something will   275 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,640 happen.   276 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:35,720 I'd like to make a point before I start on remarks about domestic hunger.   277 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,120 The fact that our domestic hunger here in this country is very much a part of world   278 00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:43,400 hunger. And then when we speak of world hunger, we must be   279 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,000 speaking on hunger in the United States as well. And that is   280 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,140 something that is so easy to forget. And I have been grateful   281 00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:53,900 every time I've heard Mother Teresa speak, because she has   282 00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:57,940 always reminded us, look in your own home, in your own block, in   283 00:21:57,940 --> 00:22:01,180 your own neighborhood, in your own community, and there you   284 00:22:01,180 --> 00:22:08,180 respond. And that, in effect, touches the whole problem.   285 00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:13,160 So there is a world food crisis and much of what is a crisis   286 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,920 around the world is a crisis here in the United States.   287 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,460 The similarities are very strong.   288 00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:23,700 I'd like to put my remarks under three points.   289 00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:27,840 One, people power and the U.S. experience.   290 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,000 Second, community power and the U.S. experience.   291 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,780 And finally, Christian faith and the U.S. experience.   292 00:22:35,780 --> 00:22:41,920 they are related, but I would lift them up, separate them out   293 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,620 to make the focus that I'd like to make.   294 00:22:44,620 --> 00:22:46,480 First of all, people power.   295 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,960 We just heard from one of the US authorities   296 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,480 within the last couple of weeks that at a time when there   297 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,160 is a real change of possibilities,   298 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,640 both for good and for bad in our world,   299 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,560 there is a real possibility of people power   300 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,640 being the strongest power around.   301 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,600 There aren't superpowers in the international scene as we often think of it.   302 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:16,720 And in our own world, in the U.S., Congress and the administration are somewhat balancing each other.   303 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,360 And at last, we have a chance for people power and boy, do we need it.   304 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:26,800 To get us to recognize in this country that there was hunger, we needed people power.   305 00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:32,220 That period of discovery and decision that began in about 66 and went   306 00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:38,580 through the White House conference was the Citizens Board of Inquiry going out and documenting it,   307 00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:47,320 some Field Foundation doctors, some individual senators and representatives, a CBS camera crew,   308 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:53,620 some people who established the Senate Select Committee, Dr. Arnold Schaefer and his staff   309 00:23:53,620 --> 00:23:59,880 that set out in a supposed to be a 50-state nutrition survey and ended at 10 and got banished   310 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,560 to Atlanta and a communicable disease center when he discovered   311 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,340 there was hunger, and at last the White House Conference   312 00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:07,740 on Food, Nutrition, and Health.   313 00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:11,020 We even had to call it that kind of euphemism.   314 00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:12,560 Even though we knew there was hunger,   315 00:24:12,740 --> 00:24:15,640 we still couldn't say the White House Conference on U.S. Hunger.   316 00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:20,960 Well, growing out of that came an alliance of a lot   317 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,320 of groups and some real action.   318 00:24:23,860 --> 00:24:26,060 And here clearly everything   319 00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:31,060 that I will mention has been a Christian and sometimes Judeo   320 00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:34,620 Christian standing together, witness in this country about   321 00:24:34,620 --> 00:24:36,100 what are we going to do about it.   322 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,180 The crusade against hunger, for example, had from the very   323 00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:42,140 beginning representatives from the U.S.   324 00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:43,980 Catholic Rural Life Conference.   325 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,960 As we launched programs on school lunch, school breakfast,   326 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,580 Title VII and so forth.   327 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,100 When following Rome and the World Food Conference, the   328 00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,800 The National Council of Churches brought people together at   329 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,180 Graymoor to plot what we were going to do ahead.   330 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,880 Everything that has come out of that has been a   331 00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:05,080 coalitional Christian witness.   332 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:07,980 The Inter-Religious Task Force on U.S. Food Policy in   333 00:25:08,020 --> 00:25:11,120 Washington has always been Catholic, Protestant,   334 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,960 and Jewish and related groups working in Washington to impact   335 00:25:15,980 --> 00:25:19,960 legislation, only it's a much stronger body than it ever was.   336 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,420 Bread for the World, a Catholic, Protestant witness.   337 00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:24,320 You've heard about that already here today.   338 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,120 I don't need to go into it.   339 00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,920 Within the National Council of Churches, again,   340 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,260 a domestic working group on hunger and poverty.   341 00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:34,360 But wherever we go out into communities,   342 00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:35,820 it is always coalitional.   343 00:25:35,820 --> 00:25:38,260 When I was in Birmingham, Alabama just a month ago,   344 00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:42,000 the Bishop of Alabama was there as a part of our effort   345 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,400 to set up some kind of community impact.   346 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,480 Wheat World Hunger Education Action Together is a thing   347 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,920 that you're going to be hearing about if you work together in your communities   348 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,000 and you will come to recognize this symbol. Now that is a Protestant   349 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000 consortium, but wherever we work, we work together because we've realized that is   350 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000 where power is and that's what we must be doing. I have a chart here which you   351 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,120 couldn't possibly see, but it shows how all the pieces work together and at   352 00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:15,560 first glance it's terribly complex, but what you really will see is that we are   353 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,120 trying to share together on all the various levels so that we   354 00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,320 can make a difference.   355 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,220 And incidentally, up here are some pamphlets, a hunger action   356 00:26:25,220 --> 00:26:26,220 agenda.   357 00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:28,720 There may not be enough to go around, but as many as there   358 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,660 will go, and there is an address where you can order more.   359 00:26:31,660 --> 00:26:35,160 Again, it is an effort to ascertain what the problems are   360 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,120 in our community and then work together on them.   361 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:41,620 One of the more interesting ones that has suddenly had a   362 00:26:41,620 --> 00:26:45,020 greatly increased participation and a dimension of hunger we   363 00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:47,820 haven't talked so much about here is Corporate Social   364 00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:50,760 Responsibility, the Interface Center on Corporate   365 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,260 Responsibility.   366 00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:54,940 I don't know whether the Sisters of the Precious Blood are here   367 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,040 at the Eucharistic Congress, but they are currently engaged in   368 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,480 filing a suit against Bristol-Myers on the marketing of   369 00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,800 infant formula in the third and fourth world.   370 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,840 And if you don't know about it, it's a story that   371 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,880 you need to hear.   372 00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:12,560 Patrick Temple West talked about ways of looking at food programs   373 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,880 and deciding allotment and how much and so forth.   374 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,740 Another way that is being suggested that we look at it is   375 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,700 that food programs are a renewable community resource   376 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,080 and that they are not only nutritional resources   377 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,200 but they are health planning tools.   378 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,320 And so I think we have to begin to look   379 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,940 as we impact federal food programs   380 00:27:34,940 --> 00:27:37,620 with whole new agendas, philosophies.   381 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,180 The fact that the administration seems built to keep people off   382 00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:44,120 of programs and their idea really should be community   383 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,560 planning and outreach and participation and gearing up to   384 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,360 really build a solid floor for all the people in their   385 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,800 community using these as one technique.   386 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,300 That moves then to the idea of community power in the U.S.   387 00:28:00,340 --> 00:28:04,540 experience. Individuals rising up and speaking and saying that   388 00:28:04,580 --> 00:28:08,740 we have to do something about these problems have built the   389 00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:11,680 momentum which moved us to where we are today.   390 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,980 And yes, there is a lot more awareness.   391 00:28:14,020 --> 00:28:19,560 We heard Sister Anita speak about the fact that all the new   392 00:28:19,580 --> 00:28:23,960 awareness is a sign of hope, and it truly is.   393 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,960 But we haven't yet touched the possibilities of those signs of   394 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,600 hope.   395 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,940 The full implementation of the federal food programs would mean   396 00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:36,740 that nearly everybody that needed it would at least have   397 00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:44,220 basic food, but we have like 3% participation, 14% participation, 20% participation, 50%   398 00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:45,220 participation.   399 00:28:45,220 --> 00:28:50,260 In no food program that we have do we have the full potential that legislative intent   400 00:28:50,260 --> 00:28:52,300 had planned for.   401 00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:56,380 Then you move on to what can we do in some sort of separated areas.   402 00:28:56,380 --> 00:29:01,820 All right, let's use it as a health planning tool and link up agriculture and health and   403 00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:06,920 preventive kinds of health care rather than mopping up after people have become   404 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,060 either retarded or malnourished because of hunger and therefore weakened and   405 00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:15,520 diseased. There's a need to bring the business community into some new   406 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,420 alliances with neighborhood groups.</div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,680 The supermarkets are moving out of the cities and the floor space is being gone.   2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,400 And even if they had the money, they couldn't buy the food.   3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,840 And if they buy it, they buy it in a mom and pop store instead of a supermarket that ought   4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:14,840 to make it easier.   5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:21,800 Well, Woodlawn in Chicago shows where a corporation uniting with a neighborhood organization,   6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,900 even though there's a lot of vandalism in the streets and other stores, in that particular   7 00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:29,680 grocery store it doesn't happen because it's part of the neighborhood.   8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,080 The corporate social action that we're talking about.   9 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,520 How do we use our power on the corporations?   10 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,960 What new alliances can we form between producers and consumers,   11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,840 the retail store, the farmer, the labor union,   12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680 the person in the city hall, and so forth?   13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,120 What kind of legal action can we take?   14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,080 The food stamp suit that has been filed against the government,   15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,680 which is a brand new breakthrough of the kind of alliances.   16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,480 We have states, we have city governments, we have labor unions,   17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:09,680 We have churches and we have needy families and they have called to a halt the implementation of some very damnable regulations that our president called for.   18 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,680 And that leads us to something on political action.   19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,180 The right to food, incidentally.   20 00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:26,680 You know, I know that, and as a Republican you heard me say it, our administration is up there in Congress testifying against the Bread for the World right to food resolution.   21 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:35,680 Now that may alarm you and make you vote for Carter, except what I read is that Mr. Carter is going to appoint a cotton farmer as Secretary of Agriculture.   22 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,680 In a time when we have a world food crisis, we're putting a cotton farmer in.   23 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:51,680 The new food block goes all the way from the Wall Street banker to the hired hand, and if we ever get together, it can be a very exciting kind of coalition, and they'd better watch out.   24 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,680 But I think we have to begin to practice what we're going to do at the local community.   25 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,680 We can have all this rhetoric about a comprehensive world food policy or a national food policy or a state food policy,   26 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680 but where it better begin to work is in the local community.   27 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,680 What can we put together that will get us aware of the problems, the tensions, the drama?   28 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:20,680 All of the mixture that comes to play in the international scene happens right in the local community.   29 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,280 How do we spend our money?   30 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Military spending.   31 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,720 How do you spend revenue sharing funds?   32 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280 You say that we need land reform in the third world,   33 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,960 in the fourth world before anything begins to happen.   34 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,020 We need land use laws in this country.   35 00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:39,200 We talk about waste on the fields and improper use   36 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,700 of the land and so forth.   37 00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,360 There's plenty of waste in this country.   38 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,400 We talk about the difference between understanding   39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,240 categorical food programs and welfare reform is the same thing   40 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,700 is the difference between disaster aid and long-term development aid. And on and   41 00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:59,960 on we could go if you really wanted to examine how you can begin to build a   42 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:05,720 just, intended, and healthy kind of human settlement, as Barbara Ward puts it. And   43 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,880 that would bring us finally then to the Christian faith in the U.S. experience. I   44 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,440 like this term I've just acquired by being at the Eucharistic Congress. TNC,   45 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,300 in my notes, has always meant the transnational corporation. It's now   46 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,560 become to mean the transnational church constituency and I think that's a much   47 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,520 better way to look at it. Well we know that there are specialists. There are   48 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,720 hundreds of them and they need to be brought together under some sort of   49 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,500 Christian umbrella to talk about the theology and ethics of what they're   50 00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:41,840 planning to do. But they know what needs to be done and how. But the specialists   51 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,920 know that. God's people know why. Jonas Salk in his book, The Survival of the   52 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,100 wisest is talked about we are at a shifting in history.   53 00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:59,180 Epoch A is when it was the biological survival, survival of the fittest physically.   54 00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:05,640 Now it's going to be the survival of the wisest, those who develop techniques for living   55 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,780 for new kinds of values, and that surely is what the church would bring.   56 00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:18,780 And I have suggested in other audiences that I think what the church brings primarily is how   57 00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:25,320 we look at food or bread? There are at least four ways that we can look at it,   58 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,580 and as Christians, it seems to me we bring a different perspective. Food is a   59 00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:36,800 necessity for human life. Does anybody question that? Yes, it is being questioned,   60 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,040 because we have triage and lifeboat ethics suggested that we can really say   61 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,120 that not everybody has a right to food and therefore food is not treated as a   62 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,840 necessity that must be under everything that happens. Food is a commodity. We   63 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:00,560 accept the fact that it can be held and bought and sold and traded and given   64 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,100 away and so forth, but when do we reach that point when we say first we will   65 00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:11,920 make sure that those who need it and then we will sell or give or trade and   66 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,320 And there is a difference between the decisions made,   67 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,160 whether it's a commodity that one sells or that one shares.   68 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,160 Food is a weapon.   69 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360 No one ever thought that food would be used as a weapon,   70 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,800 at least as a cornerstone of government policy.   71 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,800 And yet the CIA has a report, and Mr. Butts has just been around the world,   72 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,120 bragging that U.S. exportable food is the largest weapon in our U.S. arsenal.   73 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,120 And that is apparently the way we intend to have control on the world.   74 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:52,120 And I think that national security from a Christian standpoint is not based on that kind of weapon.   75 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:58,120 And finally, what we're hearing so much about here, food, is a mystery.   76 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,120 Bread for myself is a physical question.   77 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,120 Bread for others is a spiritual question.   78 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:11,480 Or as Gandhi said, if Christ appeared again, he would come as bread, for that is the only   79 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,480 way that the world would recognize him.   80 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:21,920 Seems to me very proper, very exciting, a message that should be carried to all the   81 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,340 churches and all worshipping communities.   82 00:06:25,340 --> 00:06:30,520 This relationship of mystery and the practical bread, as we're hearing it so strongly in   83 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,220 this Congress because we get our spiritual strength at the   84 00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:39,260 Lord's table and we get our physical strength at the human   85 00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:40,260 table.   86 00:06:40,260 --> 00:06:52,300 Thank you, Pat.   87 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,660 I think that's pronounced cotton farm, not farmer.   88 00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:59,580 Better watch that, I guess.   89 00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:04,300 Our next speaker is the Pennsylvania Welfare Rights Organization, Ms. Viola Sanders.   90 00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:05,860 And I'm not being chauvinistic.   91 00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:11,100 She asked me to introduce her as the educational chairman, so I did not pick that term myself.   92 00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:12,100 And Viola.   93 00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:39,200 I want to give honor to God   94 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,560 and to thank Him for the most   95 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:48,240 magnificent way he has been leading me for the past 10 years.   96 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,840 When we first learned that we were going to, that we had been invited to take part in the   97 00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:00,720 Eucharistic Congress, it kind of scared us a little bit.   98 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,640 And then knowing that I was the one at WRO who was a religious person, it was given to   99 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:17,980 me to begin to work something out that I should say. I prayed and I asked God, you know, now   100 00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:25,180 are you sure that I'm supposed to do this as an advocate to question the church? And   101 00:08:25,180 --> 00:08:31,540 I, as I asked him that question, I kept writing pieces of thoughts down on paper and I would   102 00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:35,420 lose the piece of paper and then I'd be sleeping and I'd wake up and God would   103 00:08:35,420 --> 00:08:39,500 have laid something on my mind and I would write it down and then I would   104 00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:46,180 lose it again and I kept suffering like this until one Sunday after church when   105 00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:51,540 I was sitting in my backyard which is in the project God sort of told me I want   106 00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:57,340 you to do it this way and I knew exactly what I had to do and all that suffering   107 00:08:57,340 --> 00:09:04,140 that I had gone through was right because Jesus Christ had to suffer so   108 00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:14,200 then I bring your attentions to John the 21st chapter verses 15 and 17 so when   109 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:25,000 they had dined Jesus sayeth unto Peter son of Jonas love is found me and Peter   110 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,840 Peter said unto Jesus, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee.   111 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,320 And Jesus saith unto Peter, Feed my lamb.   112 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:47,720 Jesus saith unto Peter the second time, Simon Peter, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, Peter?   113 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880 Lord thou knowest that I love thee.   114 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,000 Jesus said to Peter the third time,   115 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,640 Simon Peter, son of Jonah, lovest thou me?   116 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,720 Peter was grieved because Jesus had asked of him   117 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,600 for the third time, lovest thou me?   118 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,480 And Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, you know all things.   119 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,640 You know that I love thee.   120 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,640 Jesus said to Peter,   121 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,420 feed my sheep.   122 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,040 I have often wondered too,   123 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,240 why the Lord asked Peter three times   124 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,620 this very, very, very important question.   125 00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:32,260 Because that is exactly what it is.   126 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000 And we have to be so sure,   127 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,720 so positive,   128 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,720 so absolute,   129 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,980 that we do love   130 00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:44,980 before we step out and say that we do.   131 00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:48,280 And this is what Jesus, I believe, was trying to get Peter   132 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,120 to understand because he knew that he was soon to be leaving   133 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,360 Peter and Peter would have to hold up the bloodstained banner.   134 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:05,200 I come to you from the Welfare Rights Organization bearing the   135 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:11,700 burdens that Christ came bearing over 200,000 years ago.   136 00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:20,980 As he did not have, I do not have any cannons or guns or bombs or political game.   137 00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:27,380 But I come bearing the burdens and the sorrows of the poor.   138 00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:40,820 Yes, there are 30 million Americans living under the poverty line of $4,700 per year for a family of four.   139 00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:47,300 Approximately 11 to 14% of the 30 million are on welfare,   140 00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:50,620 or are called the working poor.   141 00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:56,500 That puts them approximately $1,000 or more   142 00:11:56,500 --> 00:12:00,460 below the poverty level.   143 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:01,260 We are hungry.   144 00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:06,380 And it's not because we don't like food,   145 00:12:06,380 --> 00:12:09,480 or because we don't know what to buy.   146 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,980 We do know what to eat.   147 00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:13,420 We do know what is nutritional.   148 00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:15,720 But we simply do not have the money.   149 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,200 Why are people being hungry in this rich nation?   150 00:12:31,340 --> 00:12:36,640 With your indulgence, I would like to gear in on this city   151 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:42,340 and this state because I believe that Jesus would have me do so.   152 00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:47,220 The earth is rich and filled with life.   153 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,460 It cries out as a healthy womb cries out to do what God has   154 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,120 created it to do and that is to produce.   155 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920 Then why do we not plant?   156 00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:05,540 Why are rich farmers subsidized and in our terms given- they're   157 00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:11,220 given welfare and accepted but it is called subsidy. Why are rich farmers   158 00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:18,220 subsidized thousands and thousands of dollars not to plant and to sow? I have   159 00:13:18,220 --> 00:13:25,100 seen milk being poured down the streets by the large corporate milk producers   160 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:31,740 just to prove that they had a right or need to raise milk prices. I have seen   161 00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:38,260 cattle shot for the same purpose. I have seen potatoes or I have read of   162 00:13:38,260 --> 00:13:44,540 potatoes being plowed back underneath the earth to keep their prices high. I   163 00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:51,700 have watched as thousands of tons of wheat was being sold to Russia while a   164 00:13:51,700 --> 00:14:01,540 While a price of a loaf of bread climbed from 27 cents to 59 cents,   165 00:14:01,540 --> 00:14:12,140 can you imagine what it must do to a person who has to eat on a dollar and ten cents a day?   166 00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:17,320 If you are un-welfare, if you are disadvantaged,   167 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,940 If you are unemployed and no longer have any unemployment compensation, you have to turn   168 00:14:22,940 --> 00:14:25,060 to welfare.   169 00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:31,060 Welfare or the Department of Public Assistance is the agency that this nation has established   170 00:14:31,060 --> 00:14:36,340 to deal with those among them who do not have in time of need.   171 00:14:36,340 --> 00:14:45,420 It is a legal and a moral responsibility that this nation has and must see to in an adequate   172 00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:47,260 way.   173 00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:52,060 Over 500,000 children are in the state of Pennsylvania.   174 00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:56,600 Think about those children having to live on an eat with a   175 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,840 dollar and ten cents a day and then try to think what we are   176 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,480 doing to them psychologically and emotionally and think   177 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,520 seriously as a Christian.   178 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,280 Programs.   179 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:17,320 I need every program that's out there, but I do not get the   180 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,960 benefit of the programs that are out there.   181 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,060 Our young sons need to be involved in all kinds of   182 00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:30,240 recreation and in all kinds of social programs that would help   183 00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:34,900 them maintain themselves and have dignity about themselves.   184 00:15:34,940 --> 00:15:36,980 They do not reach us.   185 00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:41,780 By the time the programs part for the poor,   186 00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:46,220 there's no more money or either there's no more funding or the   187 00:15:46,260 --> 00:15:49,360 people who were running the project just didn't see it that   188 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:56,400 way and all we see as a poor is total confusion.   189 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,200 This is why I say we are weary of the programs.   190 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,240 They do very little to ensure dignity and self-respect for us.   191 00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:14,660 Also, in 1969, the Philadelphia Welfare Rights Organization   192 00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:18,660 began to question education in this city.   193 00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:29,300 We had to sue in 1972 through Title I Project to get them to   194 00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:33,840 agree to give breakfast to hungry children.   195 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:43,540 we had to sue a city through the state to make them implement a   196 00:16:43,580 --> 00:16:49,620 program that had funds for its implementation and had no reason   197 00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:53,380 not to be implemented, but they would not do it.   198 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:59,220 We wonder why there is so much resistance against doing the   199 00:16:59,260 --> 00:17:02,800 little bit of good that appears every now and then.   200 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,040 And we wonder why, and especially as a Christian,   201 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,340 I wonder why.   202 00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:11,840 Because there is nothing that the Church of God cannot do,   203 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,880 if they really want to do it.   204 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,580 There is a meat that poor people use in seasoning   205 00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:22,620 their vegetables.   206 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,700 Years ago, my parents told me that this meat was thrown away,   207 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,660 but poor people on the plantation began to use it   208 00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:35,060 And this meat is called fatback.   209 00:17:35,060 --> 00:17:38,260 It is nothing but fat.   210 00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:42,980 But my people use it to season their vegetables   211 00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:45,460 and various things that they cook.   212 00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:54,260 I have watched this meat go from $0.10 a pound to $1.09 a pound.   213 00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:55,940 And I'm talking about fatback.   214 00:17:55,940 --> 00:17:58,180 You might not even know what it is.   215 00:17:58,180 --> 00:17:59,420 But it's fatback.   216 00:17:59,420 --> 00:18:02,940 and it went from 10 cents to a dollar and nine cents a pound,   217 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:08,580 and that's what poor people have to pay for that same mess   218 00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:11,780 if they're going to have it.   219 00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:13,740 OK.   220 00:18:13,740 --> 00:18:19,740 Do you realize that 54% of your tax dollar   221 00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:25,540 goes to ensure death and destruction?   222 00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:30,980 Can you imagine how pleased God would be if we would suddenly   223 00:18:31,020 --> 00:18:34,480 demand just the opposite?   224 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,120 Can you imagine how our Lord Jesus Christ would smile as he   225 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,760 sits on the right hand of God to see his church truly being the   226 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,860 kind of social worker he was indeed?   227 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:53,100 In fact, he was the first social worker ever that walked this   228 00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:59,860 earth and the best and no one will ever be able to outdo him. Does it make you   229 00:18:59,860 --> 00:19:07,380 feel any more secure to know that the United States along with Russia could   230 00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:14,940 destroy the world three times if it wanted to? How many times would you   231 00:19:14,940 --> 00:19:23,940 choose to die. In 1969 also, three quarters of a million dollars was spent   232 00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:31,980 on a hunger conference to study, to restudy, and to restudy the ways of   233 00:19:31,980 --> 00:19:37,380 hunger. The Philadelphia Welfare Rights Organization was invited to attend as a   234 00:19:37,380 --> 00:19:44,580 tokenism. We knew it was tokenism, but we prayed that maybe, maybe our being there   235 00:19:44,580 --> 00:19:51,100 might help. It was very difficult for us and the only thing that we could do to   236 00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:58,180 express our frustration at the conference was to refuse to eat and that   237 00:19:58,180 --> 00:20:05,000 is exactly what we did. We just sat there while all the big shots ate and had a   238 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:15,640 a good time. That same government set a floor of two thousand four hundred   239 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:21,860 dollars a year for an urban family of four to live on. In some cases this would   240 00:20:21,860 --> 00:20:26,780 have had reduced some welfare grants and in some cases it would have raised some.   241 00:20:26,780 --> 00:20:33,880 But just to think that a government that earns over- that earns exactly if I'm   242 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,180 wrong always correct me, does not bother me to be corrected,   243 00:20:39,220 --> 00:20:47,860 that earns $200,000 a year would dare say that four people could   244 00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:55,000 maintain a healthy and decent standard of living on $2,400 a   245 00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:01,640 year. With studies we later discovered that that same man,   246 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:08,740 Richard Milhouse Nixon spent $2,400 a year to feed his dogs.   247 00:21:08,780 --> 00:21:12,380 And we didn't take it easy and we let him know it.   248 00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:14,120 And God was with us.   249 00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,140 God is always with me.   250 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,620 Many times we were warned and we were- and people told us,   251 00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:27,800 back up, ease up, you better get off the president.   252 00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:31,000 You better stop calling him an insane maniac.   253 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:37,800 You better stop all of that because the CIA is infiltrated in between you and you're in danger.   254 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,780 There is no danger if God works within you because you aren't doing anything.   255 00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:45,740 It's God that's doing the thing.   256 00:21:45,780 --> 00:21:48,960 So we ignore all that.   257 00:21:48,980 --> 00:21:51,860 Welfare rights is not funded in any way.   258 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,560 So you see we are free.   259 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,600 No money can be cut because we tell the truth.   260 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,900 No funds can be stopped because we call it the way it is.   261 00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:07,600 Our cry for justice is bold as an organization,   262 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,640 and I pray and trust that it will stay that way.   263 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:18,220 But as God would have it, the time had strangely arrived when   264 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,560 the victims would begin to question the injustice of this   265 00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:27,420 nation, and we have to admit that God has blessed America,   266 00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:29,960 But has America blessed God?   267 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,560 And there's where our problem is.   268 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,300 There is no reason for hunger or suffering.   269 00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:42,740 Is hunger and suffering an accident in this nation or is it   270 00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:46,380 a sin-sick plan?   271 00:22:46,420 --> 00:22:53,860 Is Satan truly loose, going about on his last round to   272 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,480 destroy all that he can?   273 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:02,080 We think so. We think so with warfare rights.   274 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:07,220 Will our national leaders put human needs before death and   275 00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:11,400 destruction? We the poor doubt it very strongly.   276 00:23:11,420 --> 00:23:16,100 The hard struggle of the past gives us little hope that our   277 00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:22,040 national leadership will, nor do they know how,   278 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,540 to put human needs first.   279 00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:29,680 This makes us very sad.   280 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,720 But nevertheless, we shall continue to fight as a poor   281 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,160 people's organization.   282 00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:39,900 Our hearts and our minds reach to God for strength and courage   283 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,800 to go into the future.   284 00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:46,000 We pray that God will keep us strong and dedicated to the   285 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,040 destruction of poverty instead of people.   286 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,180 We further pray that the church will recognize its true role   287 00:23:55,220 --> 00:23:59,720 and begin to support the poor and work with the poor as they   288 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,020 struggle to help themselves.   289 00:24:02,060 --> 00:24:06,460 Money has its place if we are to deal with hunger and suffering   290 00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:11,940 in this nation, but what man needs now goes far beyond money.   291 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,840 To be more precise, Philadelphia Welfare Rights believes that the   292 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:26,360 world needs Christ-like leadership with the will and the compassion to provide   293 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:36,120 for the needs of the people. Christian leaderships, therefore, we feel that the   294 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:43,680 church must lead the way to human dignity and justice for all people. If we   295 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,760 are to be representatives of Jesus Christ and followers of his teachings   296 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:55,880 then it is nothing then there is nothing that we can't do we have a challenge to   297 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:03,840 meet we must be patient as Job wise as Solomon and as bold as John the Baptist   298 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,640 we must leave our ivory towers and attend to the total needs of the poor   299 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:19,740 We thank you for this opportunity and we say to you Godspeed. May he keep you as   300 00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:25,780 he has kept us and he has kept us with nothing. As I said it is not because we   301 00:25:25,780 --> 00:25:30,540 are professional people being salaried to fight this fight. We are poor people   302 00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:37,340 crying out for justice and holding on to God for the strength. I think of   303 00:25:37,340 --> 00:25:48,240 one other Bible verse before I sit down and it goes like this Peter and John   304 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:56,180 with it being the ninth hour went up to the temple to pray and laying there at   305 00:25:56,180 --> 00:26:04,800 the temple stairway I suppose was a man who was born lame from his mother's womb   306 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:12,380 When seeing Peter and John, he said to them, he begged alms of them, perhaps so   307 00:26:12,380 --> 00:26:19,080 that he could buy food to eat. And Peter turned and said to the man, look on me.   308 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:28,480 And the man looked on Peter. And Peter said, rise up and walk. And the man leaped   309 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:35,160 up and went running and shouting and praising the Lord but the best part of   310 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:42,800 that to me is when Peter said silver and gold have I none but such as I have I   311 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,600 give thee such as I have from the Christian point of view I have given to   312 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:55,960 you here today and I dare you to try God and trying to make some of these things   313 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,160 come about.   314 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,560 When there is a national leadership that sounds as if he   315 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,800 is decent, he must be supported.   316 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,400 And he should be supported without any hesitations or any   317 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,180 kinds of reservations.   318 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,920 And I truly believe that that is the only way,   319 00:27:15,940 --> 00:27:18,040 Christian leadership.   320 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,080 Thank you.</div> Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Audio cassette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

--> 00:00:11,840 There's a tremendous advantage to being the last speaker in a 3 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,840 panel. 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,320 You can listen to all the points that went ahead and then make 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,480 some all kinds of points yourself. 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,960 There's also one danger, of course. 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,640 Somebody else may have given your speech, and I don't know if that's happened or not. 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,480 I certainly hope not. 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,240 Mary Ellen Lloyd is the chairperson of the Hunger Task Force of the Trinity 10 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:27,240 Presbyterian Synod. 11 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,840 And I'd like her to wrap up this panel part at this point. 12 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,340 Marilyn. 13 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:38,640 I'm glad he said it before I did. 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,560 When you are the fourth person in the panel, 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,240 you begin to check off your points that 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,760 have already been said. 17 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,240 But there are a few left, and I want to talk about them. 18 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,960 This morning, I was not here at the Congress 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,660 because there was something going on in my own community 20 00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:55,680 that I thought was very important 21 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,620 and really define to me what the Eucharistic Congress is 22 00:00:58,620 --> 00:00:59,880 all about. 23 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,600 You know from my introduction that I'm 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,320 United Presbyterian. 25 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,480 This morning, one of the churches in our neighborhood 26 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880 opened their vacation church school. 27 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,120 And there were a number of community youngsters there. 28 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080 And they said, the leaders of the school said to me, 29 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,640 we want to encourage the youngsters again 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,740 to give to the emergency food cupboards, 31 00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:20,000 either actual food or money. 32 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,340 Would you come down and talk about hunger problems 33 00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:27,220 around the world and hunger problems in our own community. 34 00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:29,140 And it gave me a wonderful opportunity 35 00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:32,400 to share with those children from three years old 36 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,380 through sixth grade, though I even 37 00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:36,100 saw one that was about four months old, 38 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:38,180 but I'm not sure how much they were really 39 00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:39,700 receiving of what we were saying. 40 00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,280 But they could at least see the colors 41 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,740 on some of the cans of food we were talking about. 42 00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:47,060 But the joy and what I had to say to them 43 00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:53,500 was that in our different sense, we can care for humanity. 44 00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,540 It doesn't matter whether we're a Catholic, or a Protestant, 45 00:01:56,540 --> 00:01:58,160 or a Jew. 46 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,020 We all are people who are children of God 47 00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:04,420 who need to be cared for. 48 00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:07,220 And we need to care for each other. 49 00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:10,340 And I was able to say that and point to three community 50 00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:13,340 cupboards within walking distance for all 51 00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:15,180 of those children from that church 52 00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:17,140 so they could understand what I meant 53 00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:19,980 and in the geography of Germantown. 54 00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:21,860 We have an emergency food cupboard 55 00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:24,620 at St. Vincent's Catholic Church in Germantown, 56 00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:29,060 which is on the east side of our section of the city. 57 00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,660 We have another emergency food cupboard 58 00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:35,300 in a home in South Germantown. 59 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,220 And the home has a Presbyterian mother 60 00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:39,860 and an Episcopalian father. 61 00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:43,420 And they both have been very active in their two churches. 62 00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:46,380 And then we have another emergency food cupboard 63 00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:49,860 on the west side of Germantown Avenue, 64 00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:54,400 which is the Afro-American Distress Center cupboard. 65 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,440 And it cares for all the people on that particular side 66 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,280 of Germantown Avenue. 67 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,620 One, a secular group that is caring. 68 00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:06,200 Another, a church group that is very obviously caring. 69 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,360 And another, committed Christians in their home 70 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,560 and caring. 71 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,720 And this, to me, is what the Eucharistic Congress 72 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,280 all about and why we as Protestants and members of other faiths have been invited by the Catholics 73 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,540 to take part. 74 00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:26,560 Because in our differences we have to transcend our human need and we have to know what that 75 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,640 human need is. 76 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,320 Our differences are good and are beautiful and our freedom to choose how we express our 77 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560 witness to God is very important. 78 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,280 But when that supersedes our concerns for humanity, 79 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,760 and we cannot discard whether we are Catholic or Protestant 80 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,340 or Jew and care for each other as human beings, 81 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:54,520 then we internalize evil. 82 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,720 And we perpetuate the sin that occurred in the garden, 83 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,240 whether it is a symbolic garden or a garden 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,120 that you believe very wholeheartedly in in Genesis. 85 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,660 And that evil goes on and on, and programs 86 00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:10,580 do not get to people. 87 00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:14,060 And we have starvation and malnutrition, 88 00:04:14,060 --> 00:04:16,580 and we wonder what the church is doing. 89 00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:21,200 And that brings me then to the second thing 90 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,980 I want to say to you. 91 00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:24,800 I'm in the middle years of my life, 92 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,600 and I have become in the last two years 93 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,300 an elder in the United Presbyterian Church, which 94 00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,780 gives me a little bit more power than I had before. 95 00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:33,960 Not much, but just a tiny bit. 96 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,620 Occasionally, I can go into the church body 97 00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:39,560 and stand on my two feet and ask some questions 98 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,280 and be recognized as one of the voting members of that church, 99 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,780 because we do not have very many female clergy. 100 00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:48,640 But I can assure you that that percentage is growing 101 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,040 in the United Presbyterians. 102 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,400 But as women, our growth as being elders is also climbing. 103 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560 And we have not had as many women elders 104 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,360 and as many women in the decision process of our church. 105 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,960 And so I felt that power. 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,240 And the reason why I wanted it and was 107 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,080 willing to take it when it was offered to me 108 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,600 was the fact that I could show a greater concern for hunger. 109 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,760 In 1969 and 1970, United Presbyterian Women 110 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,000 in this area in Philadelphia banded together 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560 in what they called a hunger task force. 112 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,720 And we began to visit the public school 113 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,120 principals in this city to discover why they didn't have 114 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,660 lunch programs. 115 00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:36,140 And by coalescing with a group from the Welfare Rights 116 00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:38,900 Organization that were introduced to us 117 00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:42,060 through one of our Presbyterian churches in North Philadelphia 118 00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:44,800 and with other groups, we were able to push 119 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,200 the Board of Education at that time 120 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,660 to expand the lunch program in the city 121 00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:53,220 to extend it to 20 very low-income schools 122 00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,900 in the city. 123 00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:58,340 And that was just the beginning, because it was after that 124 00:05:58,340 --> 00:06:02,100 that the Welfare Rights Organization created 125 00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:07,980 and saw through to its finish two particular lawsuits 126 00:06:07,980 --> 00:06:11,940 in this city in relation to the legal rights services, 127 00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:14,540 community legal services, rather, 128 00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:18,520 that helped them create a lunch program in all the Philadelphia 129 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,780 public schools, and as you heard Viola 130 00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:24,140 say a few minutes ago, a breakfast program in the Title 131 00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:26,420 I schools of the city. 132 00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:31,260 And why do we have to have court suits to create feeding programs? 133 00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:36,360 And where was the church when we knew that Philadelphia County 134 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,900 housed 43% of Pennsylvania's low-income people? 135 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:45,700 But this, again, is one of the great things about being an elder or a 136 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,680 witnessing person in the church. 137 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,180 Wherever we may be, whether we're elders or not, just because we say that we 138 00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:58,380 believe in Jesus Christ and show our witness, that says to us we've got to have a greater 139 00:06:58,380 --> 00:07:02,300 discipline of who we are and why we are. 140 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:05,900 We've got to begin to read laws with a fine eye. 141 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:13,300 We've got to live as if creating food programs and sharing food with others is a commitment 142 00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:17,520 that is deep and is our true witness. 143 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,140 And that means that we've got to be a lot more alert than we've ever been before. 144 00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:27,620 And if we've never been hungry, we have a very insensitive reaction to other people's 145 00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:28,680 hunger. 146 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,000 We go along day after day thinking somebody else is taking care of it, and yet we say 147 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,900 our prayers and we come to church and we give our money and we expect a good funeral and 148 00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:42,700 a nice place for a beautiful wedding and a lovely baptism for our children, but don't 149 00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:47,240 ask us to put our life on the line when it comes to expanding a food program. 150 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,100 That's where we've got to change. 151 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,080 where we have to take our risks. 152 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,640 There's where we become food advocates. 153 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320 And that's for all of us to do, regardless 154 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520 of what denomination or what faith we believe in. 155 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,120 Let's take some examples here in Philadelphia 156 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,440 that are occurring right now. 157 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,240 A couple of years ago, the city health department 158 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,540 applied for a WIC proposal, or applied for funds 159 00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:17,160 through a proposal for the Women, Infants, and Children 160 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,760 special supplementary feeding program for the city, which 161 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,500 meant that pregnant women and children under four at that 162 00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:28,840 time could receive vouchers for food from their city health 163 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,940 clinics and go to a grocery store and get certain kinds of 164 00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:36,120 food to enhance their caloric intake and their balanced diet 165 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,120 in a better way. And that food would be free. The monies from 166 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,420 the federal government would be channeled through the state to 167 00:08:42,420 --> 00:08:45,520 pay the grocery store for the kinds of foods that were given 168 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,520 on a food prescription to that mother and family 169 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,360 at the health clinic. 170 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,400 The program began in one of our youth projects 171 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,120 from the Jefferson Hospital. 172 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,940 This was not the city health proposal. 173 00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:03,100 It took a much longer time to be funded. 174 00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:06,240 As the months went by and gradually the years, 175 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,700 a proposal for 15,000 participants in the WIC program 176 00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:13,280 was granted by the federal government. 177 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,700 In April of this year, when 15,000 participants 178 00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:20,540 should have been credited and already enrolled, 179 00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:24,500 the city health department only had 5,000 participants 180 00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:25,540 in the program. 181 00:09:25,540 --> 00:09:28,880 Yet the city health department had written the proposal. 182 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,940 Where was the church? 183 00:09:30,940 --> 00:09:32,300 Where was you? 184 00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:33,380 Where were you, rather? 185 00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:34,820 Where was I? 186 00:09:34,820 --> 00:09:39,500 How are we coalescing to care for the hungry in the city? 187 00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:43,260 A hunger that endangers a child for the rest of their lives, 188 00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:47,460 A child whose brain damage can create the lack of motivation 189 00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:49,500 to learn a skill that will provide 190 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,820 a job for the rest of his life. 191 00:09:51,820 --> 00:09:55,300 And our tax dollars would have been used well. 192 00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:58,040 Now, just recently, more monies have been 193 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,760 released for the WIC program. 194 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,260 And across the United States, 185,000 more participants 195 00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:09,340 will be given money to participate in these programs. 196 00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:11,460 But this is where you and I have to know 197 00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:14,980 what's going on in our cities, what the fine print is, 198 00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:18,180 to understand what poor people need and want. 199 00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:20,100 Let's take a second instance. 200 00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:23,340 You've already heard the food stamp program spoken of 201 00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:25,820 by some of the other panelists. 202 00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:28,700 What is a concern with that food stamp program? 203 00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:31,460 Regulations that have been blocked at this present time 204 00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:34,380 in the United States District of Columbia 205 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:39,380 were going to take some 8 million people from the program. 206 00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:42,240 But there are millions of people not on that program, 207 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,060 simply because there's a purchase requirement for stamps. 208 00:10:46,060 --> 00:10:48,540 And we haven't coalesced enough under the Bread 209 00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:51,220 for the World directives to realize 210 00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:55,620 that we, as witnessing Christians and Jews, 211 00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:57,660 can make changes in that legislation 212 00:10:57,660 --> 00:11:00,420 if we use enough power with the legislators 213 00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:02,420 at the federal level. 214 00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:04,980 A purchase requirement which takes money away 215 00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:07,220 from rent money and clothing money, 216 00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:10,220 so that you have to pay so much for your food stamps in order 217 00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:12,340 to get your bonus stamps. 218 00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:13,940 And the bonus stamps should come just 219 00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:17,820 as a part of the need at the base income of which they're 220 00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:19,420 released. 221 00:11:19,420 --> 00:11:23,500 Where was the church, and where were you and me? 222 00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:25,220 These are the kinds of things that I 223 00:11:25,220 --> 00:11:29,100 think come to us as a commitment in a Eucharistic Congress 224 00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:31,980 to say, I am concerned about these things, 225 00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:36,820 and I am going to be more alert, and I am not going to sit back. 226 00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:38,740 The Trinity Synod Hunger Task Force 227 00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:40,820 happens to be a group of people that 228 00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:42,820 branch throughout the state of Pennsylvania 229 00:11:42,820 --> 00:11:45,820 and a small portion of West Virginia and Ohio. 230 00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:47,780 What we've been trying to do is to relate 231 00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:50,660 to each other in our various congressional districts 232 00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:54,260 with our kinds of resources of prayer and of study 233 00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:57,540 so that we can begin to alert ourselves and relate 234 00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:00,060 to the poor people of need in those areas 235 00:12:00,060 --> 00:12:04,180 particularly to form the kinds of networks of concern 236 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:08,220 and then blend from that United Presbyterian base into the wheat 237 00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:11,580 concern that Mrs. Young has already spoken of. 238 00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:14,620 World hunger, education, and action together 239 00:12:14,620 --> 00:12:18,460 so that we join in a Eucharistic way 240 00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:21,780 and join hands together for the human need that 241 00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:24,660 is so important. 242 00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:28,060 Let me say some more things very quickly. 243 00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:29,860 I imagine all of our denominations 244 00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:32,540 and all of our faith have had some kind of basic statement 245 00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:34,420 to say about abortion. 246 00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,020 It was very important. 247 00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:38,620 It was life and death. 248 00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:41,300 But the life and death that walks on the major city 249 00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:45,140 streets in the form of malnutrition, 250 00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:48,500 no church is making any kind of statement 251 00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:52,660 that the press is picking up and really using in their headlines. 252 00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:58,180 Malnutrition is a slow, cruel kind of destruction. 253 00:12:58,180 --> 00:13:02,020 It forces us to buy all kinds of medicines. 254 00:13:02,020 --> 00:13:05,100 It forces us to do without some of the kinds of foods 255 00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:06,940 that we do not eat because we don't 256 00:13:06,940 --> 00:13:09,900 know that we should eat them. 257 00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:12,400 And I sit here looking at one of the members in the audience 258 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,200 and remembering that one of the things I ought to be saying 259 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,480 right now is if the church were really out there doing what it 260 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,900 should, we should be going to all of the state departments 261 00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,480 of education and requiring that all of our school teachers 262 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,620 have some training in nutrition. 263 00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:27,780 And we'd be going to all of our medical schools 264 00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:30,220 and demanding that all of our doctors 265 00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:31,580 be trained in nutrition. 266 00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:34,540 But we've not done those two things either. 267 00:13:34,540 --> 00:13:38,460 And so there are a lot of pieces of the witness 268 00:13:38,460 --> 00:13:43,580 that we say when we give money or when 269 00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:47,060 we talk about various kinds of concerns 270 00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,220 that we're really sharing. 271 00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:50,980 But we're not getting down to where the actual power 272 00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:53,300 structure is, where we can really 273 00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,180 make changes in what's going on with food programs. 274 00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:58,940 And that takes intense homework. 275 00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:01,800 And it takes people involved from our churches 276 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,920 and from secular life that will tell us what to look for, 277 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,720 because they are surviving by the obedience 278 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,860 to certain kinds of regulations that we have in our laws. 279 00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:15,020 And this was one of the things that the Philadelphia 280 00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:17,760 Nutrition Council taught me. 281 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,120 I had been a woman of the church for years, 282 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,920 and it wasn't until I got into a secular organization that 283 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,900 dealt with committed people of other face, 284 00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,700 as well as committed people in professions 285 00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:35,920 such as nutrition and medicine and in community organization, 286 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:42,100 that I began to slowly develop the skills of reading laws, 287 00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,660 the skills of reading regulations, 288 00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:48,700 the skills of knowing where the power cliches are that 289 00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:51,900 take that money for salary instead of for food. 290 00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,780 And I began to learn a new kind of survival technique 291 00:14:55,780 --> 00:14:59,520 that I had not been sharp enough in my own United Presbyterian 292 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,940 Church to discover. 293 00:15:00,940 --> 00:15:03,360 But those things in the last five or six years 294 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,220 have been changing. 295 00:15:05,220 --> 00:15:07,620 And I sometimes thank God for the inflation 296 00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:09,620 that has hit us all, because once we got hit 297 00:15:09,620 --> 00:15:10,980 in the pocketbook, all of a sudden, 298 00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:13,060 it's much more important to know what we're eating 299 00:15:13,060 --> 00:15:15,100 and what we're paying for, and how much of it's 300 00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,500 going to come across the counter. 301 00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,300 Not the money, I mean the food, and how much 302 00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:20,220 we're going to have to put across the counter 303 00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:22,540 to pay for it. 304 00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:25,280 Even in the evilness of inflation to all of us, 305 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:30,400 some good has come because it's caused us to study and to be more alert as to what is 306 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,920 going on. 307 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:43,160 When we come to the ends of our lives, I feel sure that the personhood of God is not going 308 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,600 to ask you and me whether we're a Catholic or a Presbyterian or a Jew. 309 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:55,540 But God is going to say, what did you do with your life to care for each other? 310 00:15:55,540 --> 00:16:09,600 And that's what I'd like to leave with you. 311 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,420 Thank you, Mary Ellen. 312 00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:14,340 You've all waited very patiently, though they certainly were exceptional speeches. 313 00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:17,100 I can understand why you were so patient. 314 00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:18,300 We have a little bit of time left. 315 00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:21,420 I think I'd like to throw it open immediately for questions 316 00:16:21,420 --> 00:16:22,220 to the audience. 317 00:16:22,220 --> 00:16:23,500 So may I do that? 318 00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:34,540 Yes. 319 00:16:34,540 --> 00:16:35,040 Yes. 320 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,420 I don't have any professional interest in hunger. 321 00:16:38,420 --> 00:16:39,700 I'm just an ordinary person. 322 00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:42,340 But what can I, or what benefit will I 323 00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:45,860 have from this meeting, from these meetings, 324 00:16:45,860 --> 00:16:50,860 to do something, you know, as a, not part of my life, 325 00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:52,560 but just what can I do? 326 00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:59,940 The question is, what can a person who's not a professional 327 00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:03,340 without any qualifications do? 328 00:17:04,660 --> 00:17:06,820 The first thing you have to do is, 329 00:17:06,820 --> 00:17:11,820 and I forget who said this, paraphrased Mother Teresa. 330 00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:13,900 Look around the neighborhood. 331 00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:15,180 Look around the neighborhood. 332 00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:19,060 You live in a neighborhood, and in any neighborhood, 333 00:17:19,060 --> 00:17:21,600 you're gonna find somebody who needs something. 334 00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:28,020 Okay, somebody, elderly people, shut in elderly. 335 00:17:30,180 --> 00:17:35,180 Okay, you have a school, children go to school. 336 00:17:35,660 --> 00:17:38,700 Does the school have a proper school lunch 337 00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:40,220 and school breakfast program? 338 00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:42,500 Does it have a special milk program? 339 00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:44,560 Does it know of these things? 340 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Are there elderly people around? 341 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,240 Do you know of them? 342 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,240 Do your neighbors know of them? 343 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,400 Does the church know of them? 344 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,640 Churches are a great place to find elderly people 345 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,760 who are getting by on faith alone. 346 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,520 And sometimes it's, you know, the local clergyman 347 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,880 knows some of them who are suffering, 348 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,300 who can't get out anymore. 349 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,640 Whether or not, now just talking in terms of food programs, 350 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:18,440 There are a number of elderly feeding programs, 351 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,240 the easiest of which is something 352 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,320 called Aid for Friends, which is up in Northeast Philadelphia. 353 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,560 It's basically freezing a meal. 354 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,360 You make a meal. 355 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,280 You make your own meal, your family's meal. 356 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,280 You freeze an extra one. 357 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,480 Put it in the freezer. 358 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,200 When you've got enough of them, take them over to somebody 359 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,720 who needs them and can't make them for themselves. 360 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Put them in their refrigerator. 361 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,700 That's a terribly simple thing to do. 362 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:44,400 It, of course, can be very well organized, 363 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,440 but that's a terribly simple thing to do. 364 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,880 Follow the legislation, read it in the newspapers, 365 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,040 take an interest in what's going on in Congress. 366 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,880 It's in the newspapers, you've got to dig it out. 367 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,560 It's in the back of the newspapers sometimes, 368 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,720 but it's there, it really is. 369 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560 But you just need your eyes sort of opened up 370 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,560 and just say, well, and then write to Schweiker or Scott, 371 00:19:06,780 --> 00:19:09,280 or your senator wherever you come from, 372 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,820 or green or any of these people right now with a stake in things. 373 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,240 I mean, Schweik has got a big stake in things right now. Right. 374 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,920 And he's our local guy and, and green's running for his seat. No, 375 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,400 green's running for Scott's seat. Right. So no party. No party. 376 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,720 Well, I'm just saying that this is the reality of the situation. Okay. 377 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,920 And this is how you get things done in our society, 378 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,520 because it is a government of the people. 379 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,240 As somebody said this morning for the people and by the people, 380 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,160 that's what you can do. And it's not, 381 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,500 Don't expect that you're going to be like Mother Teresa, 382 00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:44,080 going out and pulling up a person from the gutter 383 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,700 and pouring milk into their mouth, okay? 384 00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:48,640 Hunger in the United States is not like that. 385 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,220 It's hard, it's like, it's stuffing envelopes. 386 00:19:51,220 --> 00:19:52,760 It's doing budgets. 387 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,820 It's late at night trucking mules across the city 388 00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:57,580 from one point to another. 389 00:19:57,580 --> 00:20:01,520 It's standing in front of a church collecting cans. 390 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,580 It's getting those cans from that church 391 00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:05,820 to a distribution center, okay? 392 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:08,060 It's staffing that emergency distribution center. 393 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,860 It's all, it's a hard slog. 394 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,180 But the essential thing is to find 395 00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:17,880 out what's going on in your community. 396 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:19,640 And I think, anybody else? 397 00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:23,020 I would just simply add a meeting. 398 00:20:23,020 --> 00:20:25,980 The Warfare Rights Organization, we just began 399 00:20:25,980 --> 00:20:27,340 by meeting in our kitchens. 400 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,480 Just, you know, trying to think of some way 401 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,220 to make the situation better for our children to get education 402 00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:41,420 because we knew that that was the answer and that they would not wind up on welfare to put an end to welfare. 403 00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:47,220 You can just start meeting with three or four sincere Christian people 404 00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:53,020 who are intending to do what Christ would have them to do and watch it grow 405 00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:56,820 and do all the things that Temple has said, you know, the education. 406 00:20:56,820 --> 00:21:03,620 You get yourself educated, well-informed, and well-organized as Christians 407 00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:06,620 And then there is nothing that you cannot do. 408 00:21:06,620 --> 00:21:09,960 It will grow because you are doing what God wants, 409 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,200 and nothing stops God's growth. 410 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,000 If I may add one more thing, Father Arrupe, 411 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,340 the black pope who spoke this morning, 412 00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:28,440 mentioned the fasting as a prerequisite 413 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,420 to taking the Eucharist. 414 00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:36,420 and for using that money saved in that fast for the poor. 415 00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:42,340 It always seems to me a real shame that the Operation Rice Bowl stopped. 416 00:21:42,340 --> 00:21:49,700 And if people of goodwill could fast once again on Fridays, which is a traditional fast day, 417 00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:54,820 and save that money and contribute that money, 418 00:21:54,820 --> 00:22:03,540 cash, it takes cash, food is terribly expensive, to some effort, and there are many, you've 419 00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:09,580 heard a number of them, crop and wheat and Catholic Relief Services, there are many, 420 00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:20,340 very simple to do. That would be a way, and is that the Secretary General of the Catholic 421 00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:25,020 Conference of Bishops pointed out that we need fasting. 422 00:22:25,020 --> 00:22:26,900 We need legislative. 423 00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:29,340 There are three things, and one of them was fasting. 424 00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:31,500 There's a very simple thing that people can do, 425 00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:33,500 very, very simple. 426 00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:37,380 And that will help you think about the problem, 427 00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:40,980 help it keep it up into your mind. 428 00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:44,900 We are very concerned about what happens to our money. 429 00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:48,220 When you hand that money in to an organization, 430 00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:50,700 you will learn a little bit more about that organization. 431 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:53,140 It will help you get involved. 432 00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:56,220 So that's another very, very practical thing. 433 00:22:56,220 --> 00:22:57,740 There's a question right here. 434 00:22:57,740 --> 00:23:00,820 Yes, back there. 435 00:23:00,820 --> 00:23:03,940 How is it, it seems like, the Catholic Church 436 00:23:03,940 --> 00:23:06,500 isn't open to new methods. 437 00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:09,660 Like, we have a lot of nitrogen forming, 438 00:23:09,660 --> 00:23:11,980 and we have depletion of soil. 439 00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:16,380 We don't have organic gardening or composting. 440 00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:19,580 And also, we have many junk foods on the market. 441 00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:22,980 In fact, I think it's CBS Channel 3 442 00:23:22,980 --> 00:23:25,900 is having a discussion on whether cancer producing, 443 00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:27,400 the foods that we have on the market 444 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,100 are actually producing cancer because of all the additives 445 00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:31,700 that they have in the food. 446 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:35,420 Yet, and also, as Francis LePay, who wrote a book, 447 00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:38,140 Died From a Small Planet, where we should tend 448 00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:41,220 toward a vegetarian diet instead of a meat diet, which 449 00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:45,620 has shown to not be really good for your health anyway. 450 00:23:45,620 --> 00:23:49,460 It seems like we've accepted the standards of the nutrition 451 00:23:49,460 --> 00:23:52,040 where there aren't any medical schools that have any nutrition 452 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,260 taught in them. 453 00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:55,580 And we've accepted, without challenging or questioning 454 00:23:55,580 --> 00:23:58,060 them and doing anything about them. 455 00:23:58,060 --> 00:24:02,100 I said, what does the panel suggest we do? 456 00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:03,580 Anyone? 457 00:24:03,580 --> 00:24:09,460 Well, since I'm the Catholic on the panel, all I can do 458 00:24:09,460 --> 00:24:12,380 is speak from my experience. 459 00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:14,420 I direct the nutritional development services 460 00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,220 of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. 461 00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:22,660 That is a unique agency in the country, I think. 462 00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:28,460 It develops people nutritionally in the sense of, 463 00:24:28,540 --> 00:24:31,420 the Pope speaks of the development of the peoples, 464 00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:33,700 from the less to the more. 465 00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:39,860 First, it is important that people get enough to eat. 466 00:24:41,540 --> 00:24:43,260 I'm not sure if that's really first, 467 00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:46,300 but they should get enough of the right things to eat. 468 00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:48,840 One of the ways we have found this in the inner city 469 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,880 is to help people to buy wisely. 470 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,420 And one of those ways that they buy wisely 471 00:24:55,420 --> 00:25:00,420 is through buying foods that are less processed, costless. 472 00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:08,500 Don't buy pudding, no, not pudding, stuffing mix. 473 00:25:10,940 --> 00:25:13,140 I mean, pre-made stuffing mix. 474 00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:19,980 Well, anyway, the other thing is to get people together 475 00:25:19,980 --> 00:25:23,860 in cooperatives, food co-ops, where they can 476 00:25:23,860 --> 00:25:26,540 buy fresh fruit and vegetables. 477 00:25:26,540 --> 00:25:29,660 Catholic Church in Philadelphia and Catholic Church in Chicago, 478 00:25:29,660 --> 00:25:32,460 I believe, and I'm not sure just the relationship 479 00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:33,900 of the Catholic Church in Chicago 480 00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,660 to their cooperative movement. 481 00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:38,500 The church puts a lot of money into developing 482 00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:42,100 these co-ops in the inner city. 483 00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:46,820 and for any who want it, but primarily for poor people. 484 00:25:50,060 --> 00:25:55,300 Inner city vegetable gardens, not a big thing in my agency, 485 00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,980 but we have started a few. 486 00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:05,720 So the church, at least in Philadelphia, 487 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,180 is doing something with regard to that. 488 00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:18,180 Generally speaking, the poor don't, as Viola has drummed into me on numerous occasions, 489 00:26:18,180 --> 00:26:22,180 don't like to be told how to eat and what to eat. 490 00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:27,180 They know well enough. They've done it much longer than I have. 491 00:26:27,180 --> 00:26:34,180 So it is a question of reacting to the poor's needs. 492 00:26:34,180 --> 00:26:37,180 What do they want? The poor comes to us. 493 00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:42,020 I'm not going to go to a poor person, and my agency would not, 494 00:26:42,020 --> 00:26:48,340 go into a poor place and say, you cannot buy Campbell's soup. 495 00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:50,380 You've got to buy the private label. 496 00:26:50,380 --> 00:26:53,520 Or in our co-ops, we are not going to say, 497 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,420 we are not going to sell, let's say, 498 00:26:55,420 --> 00:26:57,220 and I don't say we do sell Campbell's soup, 499 00:26:57,220 --> 00:26:59,780 but I'm just saying that it's a very good thing. 500 00:26:59,780 --> 00:27:03,540 But we would buy a private label. 501 00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:06,640 The people have to have the choice. 502 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,720 So that's one thing. 503 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,060 I mean, it is a choice for people to have. 504 00:27:10,060 --> 00:27:14,320 If the people want it, and they are wanting it more now, 505 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,620 then we make the information and the assistance necessary 506 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,720 available to the people. 507 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,720 I don't think I heard him answer what you asked him. 508 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,760 Okay, well, what was, lay it on me again. 509 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,360 If I would try to answer you as a poor person, </div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,800 I would try this way. I had an opportunity to go south for the first time in my life 2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,560 and that's probably as far as I'll ever get. That was it. And I learned that there was 3 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:25,800 a lot of vacant farmland down there where people do not use the farmland. And do I understand 4 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,260 that you're trying to say to me, rich or poor, 5 00:00:29,260 --> 00:00:30,980 we all know potatoes are good, and we 6 00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:32,640 know vegetables are good for us. 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,820 But I think what you're saying is that as a nation, 8 00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:39,220 we are poisoning our food so badly that, well, 9 00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:40,500 I know it's good or not. 10 00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,460 It's not good because it's poison. 11 00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:45,460 And when I eat it, I'm going to get all kinds of things. 12 00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:48,860 We have Rodel, which is a magazine, Rodel magazine, 13 00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:52,060 prevention, prevention magazine. 14 00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:55,260 And also, our depletion of our trace minerals 15 00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:57,660 because of the fact we don't do composting. 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,960 So even whatever food we do get has less nutrients, 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,120 which are very important for nutritional health. 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,440 When you get quantity and bulk in food, 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,840 it doesn't mean it's more or less nutritious. 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,560 And then not only that, we're over-chemicalizing foods, 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,000 which many of the chemicals on them are carcinogenic. 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,760 Let me assure you, no poor person uses 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,320 that already stuffed stuff mix. 24 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:26,320 We don't believe it. 25 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,880 We don't drink oyster soup. 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,760 We can't understand. 27 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,520 We're coming here. 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,320 I'm looking for organically grown foods that 29 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:37,920 don't use all the chemicalization to kill insects. 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,400 It seems like there are, and also this Francis LePay 31 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760 wrote, Die from a Small Planet, combining 32 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200 different kinds of grains and getting 33 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,840 the max amount of protein. 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,760 Because you only need eight amino acids in your body. 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400 And if you combine different types of grains, 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,320 if you raise the amino acid to one that's less, 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,440 your food will be a higher level as far as protein. 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,800 Now, I don't want to get into too much food science 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,800 if we can't all. 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,120 Let me just answer that one way. 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,680 In Operation Rice Bowl, very poorly and inexpertly, 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:22,400 unexpertly, the church tried to come up with minimal meals. 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,500 if that can be continued, as Father Ruppe mentioned 44 00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:30,020 this morning, and the Church can give guidance, 45 00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:32,180 which I think it is coming around to, 46 00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:35,480 and it's coming around to your point, 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,180 for what people could eat for a minimum meal. 48 00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:43,620 The Church can give guidance as to what a, for fasting. 49 00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:50,820 I'd like to strike another answer at that. 50 00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:54,260 What's being lifted up here is the complexity of the food 51 00:02:54,260 --> 00:02:57,500 problem and the fact that decisions are being made 52 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,980 every day for all of us, not just the poor, but for all of us 53 00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:03,760 about our food habits. 54 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,620 We've made some of them. 55 00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:07,920 We now, instead of three square meals a day, 56 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,100 have, I think it's estimated, 20 food contacts a day. 57 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,860 And if you go through the day of your family 58 00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:17,340 and add them all up, that's probably 59 00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:18,260 what you'll be having. 60 00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:20,780 And most of them are not nutritious. 61 00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:25,360 And it does indicate that nutrition research, 62 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,580 nutrition education is one piece of what we have to be about. 63 00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:31,100 But I think the problem is bigger 64 00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:35,080 when you're talking about the adulterated foods 65 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,920 that we are getting. 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,360 And that is the whole agribusiness industry. 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,120 And the decisions that are being made for us 68 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,340 are in the hands of a few people who are not interested in food, 69 00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:47,900 but in profit. 70 00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:51,260 And therefore, you need to be raising 71 00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:52,660 those kinds of questions. 72 00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:54,580 Part of the information that you need 73 00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:58,180 is an understanding of that, like Jim Hightower's book 74 00:03:58,180 --> 00:04:00,100 or any others that are available. 75 00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:01,780 And then you need to not only begin 76 00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,940 to exercise citizen power, but corporate power. 77 00:04:04,940 --> 00:04:07,980 Because we also have power over the corporations, 78 00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:13,540 as consumers and as stockholders and as power on the legislation 79 00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:15,540 to control the industries. 80 00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:18,940 And so the person over here that asked, you know, what can I do? 81 00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:22,220 Well, you can take the hunger action agenda and find out what you can do 82 00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,220 about a few domestic food programs. 83 00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:31,140 But believe you me, the first thing we all have to do is study, study, study, study this issue. 84 00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:33,340 Study it together. 85 00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:36,180 Begin to read the articles that you normally don't read. 86 00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:37,540 Listen to the programs. 87 00:04:37,540 --> 00:04:41,940 One of the best educations I know is to turn on the farm broadcast on the radio. 88 00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:47,940 I've learned an awful lot about what's going on by beginning to listen to those programs. 89 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:55,680 And once you begin to study the problem, the question of what can I do will not be the problem, 90 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,380 but how do I sort out what is my priority? 91 00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:00,380 I think there's a question here for quite a while. 92 00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:04,380 I think the writing is pretty short on time, but I'd like to ask the panel one question. 93 00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:09,380 Besides the Bible first, the biggest thing I heard in the panel was food stamps. 94 00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:13,380 I'd like to ask each panelist in turn, in 25 words or less, 95 00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:19,380 what one thing would you do to change the present food stamp program, or to improve the present food stamp program? 96 00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:24,380 Well, I said, I think in my speech, was to eliminate the purchase requirement, 97 00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:31,380 so that the people who really need food stamps will be able to have them? 98 00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:35,940 I would say there should be no working poor people ought to make enough money 99 00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:40,260 they wouldn't have any need for food stamps but since the program is here I 100 00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:45,540 would say that the people who have purchased food stamps that we get a 101 00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:51,020 larger bonus and that they would be able to buy anything they wanted to buy I 102 00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:56,600 I mean, you know the soap the toothpaste the broom they should be able to buy 103 00:05:56,980 --> 00:06:01,060 What they want to buy with the food stamps that would improve it as it is. I 104 00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:08,060 Think it's necessary to say to people who don't know the present food stamps 105 00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:11,180 program is going to be changed regardless because 106 00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:18,300 It is in Congress now in markup and whatever happens it is going to be a very bad program 107 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:25,300 The regulations that we withheld by the federal suit were very bad and the legislation is 108 00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:31,740 going to be very bad. We still must fight for the best that we can get, primarily I 109 00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:36,980 think to gear up for next year's battle. Because even though we passed a bill in this year's 110 00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:41,940 Congress, we've got another battle next year and maybe another chance with a new Congress. 111 00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:49,060 The main thing that I would push for is some kind of legislative mandate that requires 112 00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:56,260 that the administration be based on the idea that it is a community resource, renewable, 113 00:06:56,260 --> 00:07:00,420 that people have a right to, and that every effort be made to get people on it and not 114 00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:01,420 to keep people off. 115 00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:06,220 I tend to agree with Viola. 116 00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:11,860 I think the food stamp program itself is terrible. 117 00:07:11,860 --> 00:07:20,860 I think that it should be abolished and the money is added to an improved welfare system. 118 00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:26,860 However, if that is impossible, which it is, then we should do away with the purchase requirement 119 00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:32,860 and base the food allotment and the cash allotment on a low-cost food plan, 120 00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:35,860 which should increase the amount by about 25%. 121 00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:42,860 Thank you so much for your attention. 122 00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:45,860 And if the master finds a box, it will be mine. 123 00:07:45,860 --> 00:07:46,860 Thank you. </div> Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Audio cassette Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And we shall be assessing some of   7 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:38,160 that this very morning, and whether the price is too high, or whether there is a   8 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:48,580 way in which the price can make the results all the more precious. But I want   9 00:01:48,580 --> 00:02:03,620 to start by saying that this is a high moment of privilege and promise. It is a   10 00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:14,060 privilege to be introduced by William Cardinal Baum. Both of us were in   11 00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:20,900 different positions when we first met, but it has been a privilege that again   12 00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:28,660 and again we have been together in meetings, in various ecumenical   13 00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:37,340 capacities, where I have learned from him and I have hoped that in a reciprocal   14 00:02:37,340 --> 00:02:45,060 way he may have learned a little bit from me. For it is that learning from   15 00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:54,580 each other which is part of the benefit of ecumenical relations that makes the   16 00:02:54,580 --> 00:03:03,580 price worth it. It is a time of privilege for me to have been invited to this   17 00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:16,060 place by His Eminence John Cardinal Crowell, and to have a part in this Eucharistic Congress.   18 00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:33,280 I pray God's blessing upon Cardinal Crowell and upon the Congress.   19 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:52,160 It is a privilege to share the program with Archbishop Sheen, a great teacher, preacher,   20 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,920 prelate whom I have admired for many, many years.   21 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:07,400 It is a privilege to share this platform and program with other bishops and churchmen who   22 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:16,040 have been part of the Committee on the Participation of Christians from Other Churches in the Eucharistic   23 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,280 Congress.   24 00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:26,500 It is a privilege today to be here not only as a member of the Lutheran Church in America,   25 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:35,180 But as a representative of the World Council of Churches, both the General Secretary, Philip   26 00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:49,220 Potter, and the moderator of the Central Committee, Archbishop Scott, Anglican Primate of Canada,   27 00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:52,300 had hoped to be here.   28 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:57,660 But at this very time there are meetings of the World Council of Churches in session in   29 00:04:57,660 --> 00:05:05,900 Geneva which demanded their attention in this period immediately following the assembly   30 00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:11,820 of the World Council of Churches in Nairobi last December.   31 00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:16,980 And so it has fallen to my lot as a member of the Executive Committee to be present and   32 00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:22,280 bring you greetings and assurance of the prayers of those of us who are in the   33 00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:31,760 council for your Eucharistic Congress. That your prayers...   34 00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:44,060 On Friday evening I shall be leaving for Geneva for the meeting of the Executive   35 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:49,580 Committee of the World Council, and I shall be able to report directly to   36 00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:57,020 those who are very interested there in the proceedings here. But it is a   37 00:05:57,020 --> 00:06:06,140 privilege above all to be in a gathering of Christians to enjoy the beauty of   38 00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:18,580 of music, the gracefulness of dance, the meditation upon our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church   39 00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:26,780 and His sacrament, that is the highest privilege of all.   40 00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:32,900 As the Lutheran bishop of Slovakia said to me in Bratislava just before I was to mount   41 00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,860 into the pulpit to preach, he said,   42 00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:41,820 remember, the greatest honor God does us   43 00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:47,300 is to call us to worship him.   44 00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:50,900 It is with that high sense of privilege   45 00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:55,220 at worshiping together, at meditating together,   46 00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:58,660 at discussing together the essential aspects   47 00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:05,400 of our Christian faith that we may also recognize a great promise.   48 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:14,780 If it were left to us alone as frail human beings, we would flub our Christianity.   49 00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:19,760 But it is the presence of Christ among us fulfilling his promise that whether it be   50 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:29,180 two or three or many times that number, his presence among us that turns this moment,   51 00:07:29,180 --> 00:07:34,200 like other moments, into a moment of promise.   52 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,080 Our topic today is a big one.   53 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:44,320 It is many-faceted, or more specifically, fourfold.   54 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:56,280 The Eucharist, in pluralism and unity, heritage and hope, the first of those words, pluralism,   55 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:02,800 thrusts us into the world of daily life.   56 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:09,760 Is that what we should be contemplating when we contemplate the Eucharist?   57 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,000 Ah, yes, indeed.   58 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:22,840 The Eucharist begins with bread and wine, substances of daily life.   59 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:33,740 Pluralism is a sociological term and coined rather recently, and so it makes us realize   60 00:08:33,740 --> 00:08:40,860 in a contemporary moment of a complex society,   61 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:43,220 that our contemplation of the Eucharist   62 00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:49,820 must take into account the situation of humanity today   63 00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:53,780 and our daily lives together.   64 00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:58,580 It is not always a pretty picture,   65 00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:01,980 the theme of your Congress pointing us   66 00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:16,180 to the hungers of mankind remind us how many people are dissatisfied, unsatisfied, hungering   67 00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:23,100 futilely, starving in one way or another.   68 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:30,260 It reminds us that the world of bread and wine is a place where people fight and struggle   69 00:09:30,260 --> 00:09:38,220 for what they can get to eat. And we ask as we look at that kind of pluralism in   70 00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:46,020 the world whether there can be any unity. Let us be honest that there is built in   71 00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:57,740 even to natural life forces that develop unities among our human brothers and   72 00:09:57,740 --> 00:10:05,780 sisters. There is such a thing as natural affection that can develop friendships as   73 00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:13,540 beautiful, even to the point of heroism, that are as great as anything that ever   74 00:10:13,540 --> 00:10:20,700 developed in the church. I know a story about two Texas towns on opposite sides   75 00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:27,900 of the river, one settled by Norwegians, another settled by Germans, and the   76 00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:34,740 elders forbade their children and young people to cross the river. They did not   77 00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:45,340 want any intermarriage. But today the towns are completely intermarried. No   78 00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:54,260 No rules could prevent the natural affections from bringing those two towns closer and closer   79 00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:55,420 together.   80 00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:59,380 There is such a force in natural life.   81 00:10:59,380 --> 00:11:13,100 The social process moves from conflict to competition, to cooperation, to concord.   82 00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:24,400 are natural forces for unity, or the very struggle for survival forces people together.   83 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:32,560 And yet, there is always the evidence that what humanity is doing is building a tower   84 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:39,840 of Babel over and over again, where things are falling apart, verging on the edge of   85 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720 chaos.   86 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:50,940 And so what we really see in the natural world are conflicting forces toward unity and disruption   87 00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:53,500 and brokenness.   88 00:11:53,500 --> 00:12:00,900 The incompleteness of earthly life is something all of us feel.   89 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:10,140 So we would gladly take the leap from the pluralism of daily life to the unity of the   90 00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:24,540 Christian Church, but it can't happen that quickly.   91 00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:30,160 It cannot happen that quickly because there is a real price.   92 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:40,240 And so before we contemplate unity, we had best make a short stop at heritage.   93 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:49,700 For there is in the heritage of the Christian Church today also a pluralism.   94 00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:56,080 When we think of the Eucharist, we have to admit that we are still divided, that we still   95 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:03,200 practice separate and distinct administrations of the Eucharist. Let us   96 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:15,040 not lament this entirely. God has his way of using human failures, human divisions,   97 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:25,800 so that there has clustered around each separate heritage great values. You   98 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:34,620 could name them for your particular communion as I could for mine. The point   99 00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:45,360 is that we must look beyond those values to new possibilities. In one ecumenical   100 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:54,260 meeting a person from Poland stood up and said, in Poland we say that the unity   101 00:13:54,260 --> 00:14:03,460 of the church will not be realized until the last day. And in Poland it will be a   102 00:14:03,460 --> 00:14:06,620 few days later.   103 00:14:16,140 --> 00:14:22,980 When we are most honest we would have to admit there are times when we feel that   104 00:14:22,980 --> 00:14:32,340 way about our own communions. But we may not stop there. We have to move on, as the   105 00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:40,740 Roman Catholic Church has in planning this Eucharistic Congress. For 95 years a   106 00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:48,020 Eucharistic Congress has been a distinctive Roman Catholic event, but   107 00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:58,220 But more recently, there has been a stretching out of arms of welcome to the Orthodox and   108 00:14:58,220 --> 00:15:01,740 to Protestants.   109 00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:08,380 That kind of development shows that we will not rest content with keeping our heritages   110 00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:11,380 separate.   111 00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:31,780 I recall the first time that I saw a pious Orthodox woman kissing an icon.   112 00:15:31,780 --> 00:15:45,380 It was in Jerusalem, in the darkness of those great churches, with little more than candlelight.   113 00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:54,740 And as I looked, I was at first curious, and then I was disdainful.   114 00:15:54,740 --> 00:16:00,700 My whole upbringing was opposed to what I was seeing.   115 00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:06,020 I had been taught to ridicule that form of piety.   116 00:16:06,020 --> 00:16:10,500 And I recall one of the first archaeological explorers   117 00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:14,060 back in the 1850s going through Palestine   118 00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:17,980 and coming back, Protestant that he was,   119 00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:23,480 and telling the horrors of the religious life of that land,   120 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,860 a religion of monkery.   121 00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:31,380 And I agreed with him.   122 00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:35,820 But as I lived on in Jerusalem over 10 months,   123 00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:38,940 something began to happen with me.   124 00:16:38,940 --> 00:16:44,340 I began to know those Christians with their strange piety   125 00:16:44,340 --> 00:16:46,820 as devout people of faith.   126 00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:53,980 And I began to realize that my way of worshiping   127 00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:58,820 was not the only valid way.   128 00:16:58,820 --> 00:17:02,840 I realized that theirs was a piety that   129 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,800 was more sensuous than mine.   130 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,000 I had been brought up to think that the sense of hearing   131 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,560 was the primary sense for religion   132 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,120 and that going down the list, maybe seeing came second.   133 00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:30,040 and there was little room for tasting in the Eucharist specifically, but touching, no room   134 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,360 at all for that sense.   135 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:39,120 And I began to realize that maybe I was the one who was deprived.   136 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:45,560 There was room to learn something from the piety of others, and I began to see those   137 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:57,320 great churches as the deposit of nearly 1,700 years of Christian devotion.   138 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,480 I say that was a slight improvement in my attitude.   139 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:11,400 I was growing in the way I believe Jesus wants us all to grow when he speaks about the oneness   140 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:24,160 of his church.   141 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:33,780 To mention Jesus is to note that part of our heritage that draws us together.   142 00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:38,660 It is not our differences that deserve to be exalted.   143 00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:46,140 They need to be worked at and studied and discussed, but we must always see the Lord   144 00:18:46,140 --> 00:19:04,340 Jesus Christ as the focus of the heritage, for that we have together.   145 00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:15,760 we do worship the same Lord. We even celebrate the same Eucharist. The fact that we have   146 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:24,180 different liturgies, the fact that we have different doctrines, the fact that we order   147 00:19:24,180 --> 00:19:33,880 our ministries differently does not determine the real nature of the   148 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:41,940 sacrament. Only God can do that, only the Lord Jesus Christ. And so where there is   149 00:19:41,940 --> 00:19:50,060 bread and wine and the words of our Lord, take eat this is my body, take drink this   150 00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:55,220 is my blood. There is the sacrament.   151 00:20:00,420 --> 00:20:07,780 And so the heritage which we have together has finally brought us to   152 00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:16,220 acknowledge the nature of our unity as a Christian church, even though we are many   153 00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:24,700 churches, we need to recognize that we have baptism together. As one old saint   154 00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:29,740 in an ecumenical meeting said, there are only two kinds of people in the world,   155 00:20:29,740 --> 00:20:36,940 those who know that God loves them and those who don't.   156 00:20:36,940 --> 00:20:49,640 And by our baptism, by the churches conveying the word of God to us, we are among the people   157 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,320 who know that God loves us.   158 00:20:52,320 --> 00:21:00,320 We have that in common.   159 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,480 To speak about that unity, however, we must quickly say there is another point of unity   160 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,180 that is in repentance and in the confession of sin.   161 00:21:12,180 --> 00:21:18,940 We do not know how to confess our sins explicitly.   162 00:21:18,940 --> 00:21:25,580 We still feel a little more comfortable thinking that the people of another church have the   163 00:21:25,580 --> 00:21:34,400 greater sin, the greater error, the greatest lack of understanding and truth.   164 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:41,800 But we know we could be wrong. We know that enough that we've come to the time   165 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:48,960 where we will try to speak about those very differences together so that we   166 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,360 repent in the presence of each other as well as in the presence of God and not   167 00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:11,880 in private. Then by God's grace, something begins to happen to our distinctive heritages.   168 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Our very differences begin to be, as it were, the gifts of the Spirit. When St. Paul spoke   169 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:30,160 in 1 Corinthians 12 about the differences in the Christian congregation of ancient Corinth.   170 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,940 He was talking about the individuals in that congregation.   171 00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:40,940 Yet I believe there is a similarity for the differences among the many churches of our   172 00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:44,380 time.   173 00:22:44,380 --> 00:22:53,020 God, as I have said, in his grace has turned our very differences into channels of great   174 00:22:53,020 --> 00:22:56,980 value and purpose.   175 00:22:56,980 --> 00:23:05,940 That is the way that he makes it possible for us to enrich each other, to fulfill even   176 00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:11,860 in our division a great part of the mission of the Church.   177 00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:19,700 therein unity becomes a challenge. Up to this point I have spoken about how unity   178 00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:27,300 exists in spite of us. I have spoken about how unity of the Church is the   179 00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:37,720 gift and work of God. But with that kind of grounding you and I are now   180 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:47,920 strengthened to work for making the unity of the church more visible. You see   181 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:55,680 there's a way in which that unity is not visible today, and the fact that unity is   182 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:02,200 the gift and work of God has made some people act as though the more invisible   183 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:11,880 the unity was the better. But that is not where Jesus would let us rest. He has   184 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:19,040 made it clear that we have a responsibility to love each other. He has   185 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:26,840 made it clear that that love should not be a Pyramus and Thisbe kind of romance,   186 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:33,320 enjoyed in separation as though that's the way it had to be. Quite to the   187 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:39,280 contrary, he has wanted us to stand forth with each other among those who are not   188 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,120 Christian and make it clear what Christian love means between us and   189 00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:56,320 among us. And yet, even he has not made the expression of Christian love easy.   190 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,320 because he has also commanded us to pursue truth.   191 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:08,320 And therefore it is that it is right today that we should have in our minds the hunger for truth.   192 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:14,320 Love without truth becomes an abstraction.   193 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:20,320 It becomes a meaningless sentimentality,   194 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:34,680 unstable in all its ways. But how in our devotion to truth shall we also be   195 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:42,800 clear about our love? Some specific means have developed. Representatives from one   196 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,880 church at meetings of another church, as now here this day at the Eucharistic   197 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:56,880 Congress is one way. Then there are the interconfessional dialogues to which   198 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:02,800 Cardinal Baum referred, going on between Lutherans and Roman Catholics for ten   199 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:09,300 years now, but involving Episcopalians, Orthodox, and we could go through the   200 00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:17,160 whole roster of churches showing how we are talking about the command to search   201 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:24,240 for truth but doing it together, not enjoying our isolated selves and   202 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:32,400 building up our self-satisfaction, when what God wants is an honest pursuit   203 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,880 together for the unity of the Church.   204 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:53,800 Then there are the councils of churches, with an increasing number of Roman Catholic bishops   205 00:26:53,800 --> 00:27:02,060 and their dioceses participating across the United States and in other lands.   206 00:27:02,060 --> 00:27:09,460 And even where there is not membership, a great degree of cooperation exists.   207 00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:16,020 Especially in the World Council of Churches, we have been grateful and enriched by the   208 00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:22,940 participation of Roman Catholics in the Commission on Faith and Order.   209 00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:26,660 There we study truth together.   210 00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:33,380 Likewise, we have benefited mutually, I think, from the joint working group, where we lay   211 00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:43,640 the plans for further study and work, and there are other units of cooperation.   212 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:50,500 But we know that we have only begun our walk together.   213 00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:57,820 eyes must be to the future. And so having talked about pluralism and heritage and   214 00:27:57,820 --> 00:28:09,620 unity, we must also speak of hope. However, as we do so, let us not think that our   215 00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:17,540 hope is for a unity out there entirely. Rather, it is because of the unity God   216 00:28:17,540 --> 00:28:23,780 has given us in spite of ourselves that we are able to hope. We have an anchor   217 00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:29,660 for our hope. We already have some evidence of our hope. We begin to see the   218 00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:37,620 glimmer of the new day. And so in the Eucharist we can take seriously what he   219 00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:47,380 says, that we should receive his body and blood in sacramental form until he comes.   220 00:28:47,380 --> 00:28:56,420 Yes, there will always be something future about the unity of the Church, but our hope   221 00:28:56,420 --> 00:29:10,540 for greater visibility for the unity is, according to his world, that the world may know.   222 00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:18,380 we have tended to be satisfied with ourselves in our several communions.   223 00:29:18,380 --> 00:29:26,820 It will not do for us to blow the trumpets for our unity, our comprehensive unity, and   224 00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:31,260 then think we can be satisfied with ourselves as Christians.   225 00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:38,380 Our view must be ever outward, as indeed God's view is, thinking about all humanity.   226 00:29:38,380 --> 00:29:43,680 For he would place us before the world as his witnesses.   227 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:52,240 It is with that vision that we are motivated to show our love for each other, to pursue   228 00:29:52,240 --> 00:30:00,440 truth together rather than separately, and to find the ways we can work together in common   229 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,860 service in the world.   230 00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:06,740 It is that the world may know.   231 00:30:06,740 --> 00:30:16,320 It is that we may fulfill the mission of the Church given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ.   232 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:25,000 Our real hope is the one Christ gave us, not just for the unity of the Church, but for   233 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,240 the unity of all humanity.   234 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:37,720 remote as that may seem. I would leave with you a lesson I learned in my youth   235 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:44,540 from a sister, Sophie Muller, working in the Appalachians even before that was   236 00:30:44,540 --> 00:30:56,680 very popular. And she took me on one of her trips. She was a nurse. We went up to   237 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:05,500 the end of the road in the hills. We climbed over plank fence after plank fence. And as   238 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:13,260 we did, even though we were trying to catch our breath, she told me how she had made this   239 00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:21,660 trip on a winter night through the snow to deliver a baby that she was now going to visit   240 00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:25,380 because the baby was sick.   241 00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:28,180 And the father was in prison.   242 00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:32,820 And we finally arrived at the humble cottage.   243 00:31:32,820 --> 00:31:36,340 And there was a mother out hoeing in the garden,   244 00:31:36,340 --> 00:31:43,540 pregnant again, three children about her feet as she worked.   245 00:31:43,540 --> 00:31:48,500 And as we left, I said to Sister Sophie, this is hopeless.   246 00:31:48,500 --> 00:32:03,460 There are times when I have sighed that same word about any material realization of the   247 00:32:03,460 --> 00:32:07,300 unity of the church.   248 00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:14,940 But Sister Sophie gave me the only Christian answer.   249 00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:21,940 We don't know that word down here.   250 00:33:14,940 --> 00:33:40,060 I reminisce Cardinal Baum and my spiritual confreres and associates in the Lord, and   251 00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:42,780 all friends in Christ.   252 00:33:42,780 --> 00:33:59,300 Well, you have to admit that I'm the only show here, holy show here.   253 00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:03,460 I will tell you how this happened.   254 00:34:03,460 --> 00:34:10,160 Last night I had dinner with his eminence, Cardinal Crowell, and he said,   255 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,160 wear your robes.   256 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Well, if one of the Cincinnati Reds had told me, I wouldn't have.   257 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:25,880 You got it, thank you.   258 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:40,280 But when the captain of the Phillies tells me, I do it.   259 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:49,820 Remnants of Cardinal Willerbrand, that's a baseball joke.   260 00:34:49,820 --> 00:35:10,820 Apropos of robes, I must tell you, years ago I was giving a lecture in Cleveland, in Hotel Cleveland, and I had just arrived in time for the lecture.   261 00:35:10,820 --> 00:35:19,620 I went to my room and put on these robes and I said to the four members of the reception   262 00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:25,860 committee that I would be grateful if they would go down to the dining room with me while   263 00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:31,740 I ordered a glass of milk and some graham crackers.   264 00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:37,940 There was a waitress in the early flirties taking the orders.   265 00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:45,440 She took the orders of the four men, and then she looked at me, and she said,   266 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,440 Well, Cock Robin, what will you have?   267 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:58,440 Laughter and applause   268 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:14,160 Well, we are here to meditate and talk about the Holy Eucharist.   269 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:22,800 Now we have different points of view on this stage.   270 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:29,720 And what are our differences like?   271 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:33,360 They're only lovers' quarrels.   272 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:43,320 A husband and wife who love one another never fight about their love for one another.   273 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,220 It's a broken fender.   274 00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:53,660 It's a meat bill, groceries, but never their love.   275 00:36:53,660 --> 00:37:02,860 And we are agreed on one thing, the deep and profound love of Christ and his church.   276 00:37:02,860 --> 00:37:17,900 That's why I say it's just a lover's quarrel.   277 00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:27,720 The subject assigned was pluralism and unity.   278 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:38,040 The very day that our Lord announced the Eucharist, there was great pluralism.   279 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,240 Four different theological schools came into being.   280 00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:46,440 They were all mentioned in the sixth chapter of John.   281 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:53,240 The crowd, the Jews, the disciples, Peter.   282 00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:57,400 Four pluralistic views.   283 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,600 Here is the view of the crowd.   284 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:08,280 When our Lord spoke about the Eucharist, they said, it means nothing.   285 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:15,000 They were interested only in the loaf, not in the love.   286 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,040 They saw no sign whatever in the Eucharist that God was giving them.   287 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:26,600 They, as our blessed Lord said, you followed me because you were hungry.   288 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,260 That was one school that sees no significance in the Eucharist.   289 00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:38,580 The second, the Jews in the synagogue at Capernaum.   290 00:38:38,580 --> 00:38:49,940 They recognized a sign, but they said Christ can't be the sign.   291 00:38:49,940 --> 00:38:56,580 Moses had given them a sign, they said, but our Lord had not given them a sufficient sign.   292 00:38:56,580 --> 00:39:01,580 even though he multiplied bread for 5,000.   293 00:39:01,580 --> 00:39:05,580 And in addition, they said,   294 00:39:05,580 --> 00:39:08,580 we know his father and mother.   295 00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:14,580 So how can he be a sign of anything we know as earthly origin?   296 00:39:15,580 --> 00:39:19,580 Third school, the disciples.   297 00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:22,580 They knew what our Lord meant.   298 00:39:22,580 --> 00:39:29,100 He understood him.   299 00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:35,860 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life.   300 00:39:35,860 --> 00:39:44,780 But they were trained under the Bultmanns and the Heideggers of those days, and they   301 00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:50,540 said in the beautiful translation of the NEB, the New English Bible,   302 00:39:50,540 --> 00:39:59,740 how can we stomach talk like that? And they left and walked with him no more.   303 00:39:59,740 --> 00:40:08,820 They knew what he meant, but they would not receive it. And that is why our   304 00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:11,300 Our blessed Lord did not call them back.   305 00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:15,080 He didn't say, I'll change it.   306 00:40:17,140 --> 00:40:18,740 And the fourth school was Peter.   307 00:40:21,420 --> 00:40:23,180 Peter couldn't give an explanation.   308 00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:29,460 All Peter said was, well, Lord, to whom shall we go?   309 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,780 Peter said, first I'll have faith in you,   310 00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:36,020 and then I'll get the explanation afterwards.   311 00:40:36,020 --> 00:40:41,900 Thou alone hast the words of eternal life.   312 00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:48,540 So the Eucharist at the very beginning created pluralism.   313 00:40:48,540 --> 00:40:55,820 Now how will we ever get to unity in it?   314 00:40:55,820 --> 00:41:06,540 I believe by concentrating our thought on the death and the resurrection of Christ,   315 00:41:06,540 --> 00:41:15,900 and particularly his death, that makes a great difference in our point of view.   316 00:41:15,900 --> 00:41:21,420 Take for example Simon of Cyrene and Joseph of Arimathea.   317 00:41:21,420 --> 00:41:24,300 These were secret disciples.   318 00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:28,540 They were members of the Sanhedrin.   319 00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:34,260 Nicodemus never appears in the daytime, only at night.   320 00:41:34,260 --> 00:41:38,020 And what brought them out?   321 00:41:38,020 --> 00:41:41,260 The crucifixion of our Lord.   322 00:41:41,260 --> 00:41:44,380 And they came to the cross and buried him.   323 00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:50,780 Otherwise the body of our Lord would have been only food for carrion birds.   324 00:41:50,780 --> 00:41:55,740 It was the crucifixion that united them.   325 00:41:55,740 --> 00:42:01,220 Now the crucifixion is closely related to the Eucharist, and I'm about to tell you   326 00:42:01,220 --> 00:42:04,940 in a few moments why it is the center.   327 00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:15,940 We concentrate for the most part on just one aspect of the Eucharist, the life-giving side.   328 00:42:15,940 --> 00:42:20,260 But there's a death side of the Eucharist.   329 00:42:20,260 --> 00:42:24,940 Now most of us have studied biology.   330 00:42:24,940 --> 00:42:27,360 Remember the metabolic processes of nature?   331 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:34,300 The anabolic, the buildup, the catabolic, the turn down, tear down?   332 00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:42,540 Let's first of all treat the anabolic or the life-giving side of nature and the Eucharist.   333 00:42:42,540 --> 00:42:52,460 If for example, the sunshine, the moisture in the earth, the carbons and the phosphates   334 00:42:52,460 --> 00:43:01,940 could speak, they would say to the plants, unless you eat me, you shall not have life   335 00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:05,340 in you.   336 00:43:05,340 --> 00:43:11,980 If the plants could speak, they would say to the animals,   337 00:43:11,980 --> 00:43:18,420 unless you eat me, you shall not have life in you.   338 00:43:18,420 --> 00:43:20,860 If the chemicals and plants and animals could speak,   339 00:43:20,860 --> 00:43:26,100 they would say to us, unless you eat me,   340 00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:29,140 you shall not have life in you.   341 00:43:29,140 --> 00:43:32,660 And our blessed Lord said, unless you eat me,   342 00:43:32,660 --> 00:43:36,420 you shall not have life in you.   343 00:43:36,420 --> 00:43:39,620 The lower is transformed into the higher.   344 00:43:39,620 --> 00:43:43,540 Chemicals into plants, plants into animals,   345 00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:47,340 animals into man, man into Christ.  </div> <div style="width: 750px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;" 1="" br="">Side 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,600 That is the anabolic building upside of the Eucharist.   2 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,760 And I spoke about the importance of the death of Christ.   3 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,760 So now we come to the catabolic.   4 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,060 Nature teaches us that too.   5 00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:42,480 If the plants, if the plants could speak, they would say to the sunshine, to the moisture,   6 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:51,160 to the chemicals in the earth, you are inert, you're lifeless.   7 00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:54,820 Would you like to live, not be just a thing?   8 00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:01,300 Well, you cannot live in me the way you are.   9 00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,440 If you chemicals want to live in my kingdom,   10 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,180 you will have to die to yourself.   11 00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:12,320 And if the animals could speak,   12 00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:17,000 they would say to the plants,   13 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000 You're fixed, you're immobile.   14 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,360 You cannot move from shade to sunshine.   15 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,380 You cannot see or hear or taste.   16 00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:35,580 I live in a higher kingdom.   17 00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:39,680 Would you like to live in me, you plants?   18 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,680 Not as you are.   19 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,680 You have to be pulled up by the roots.   20 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,680 And you have to be ground beneath the very jaws of death.   21 00:01:52,680 --> 00:02:00,680 And then alone you can live in my kingdom and be a sentient being.   22 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,680 Man says to the animals,   23 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,680 You cannot think.   24 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680 You cannot scan the stars.   25 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,680 You cannot love.   26 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,680 Would you like to live in my kingdom?   27 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,680 Not as you are.   28 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,680 You will have to die to yourself.   29 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,680 You will have to submit yourself to the knife   30 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,680 and to the shedding of blood.   31 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Then alone can you live in my kingdom and Christ says to us   32 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,760 Unless you die to yourself. You cannot live in me   33 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680 In other words   34 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,800 The Eucharist is a sacrifice   35 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,680 and a sacrament.   36 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,160 You have to have a sacrifice before you can have a sacrament.   37 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,400 Now in a short time, if I do not talk too long,   38 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240 you'll go to dinner.   39 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,480 The food will be your sacrament, but that food had to be sacrificed   40 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:38,640 and subjected to fire and the flame, maybe the shedding of blood. So that the   41 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:48,600 Eucharist therefore relates us primarily to the death of Christ, then he becomes   42 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,340 becomes our life.   43 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:55,240 The risen Christ becomes our life.   44 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,680 We, it might be objective,   45 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,480 but Christ has died once,   46 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,260 says the epistle to the Hebrews.   47 00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:10,720 He cannot die again.   48 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,900 How, therefore, do you say that the mass is a sacrifice   49 00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:17,800 and that Christ is continuing to die again?   50 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,300 Who says he can die only once?   51 00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:25,540 The answer is, our Lord can die only once   52 00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:28,940 in the body that he took from the Blessed Mother.   53 00:04:28,940 --> 00:04:31,380 But Christianity means he takes your human nature,   54 00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:33,880 yours and yours and yours and mine.   55 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,580 And he says, give me your human nature   56 00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:37,380 and I can die again in you   57 00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:39,260 and I'll give you the risen life.   58 00:04:39,260 --> 00:04:41,020 That is the Eucharist.   59 00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:54,020 That is why St. Paul says,   60 00:04:54,020 --> 00:05:02,220 we carry about with us the death of Christ in order that we might be a life to others.   61 00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:10,900 Now I began with speaking of differences and the fact that there's only a lover's quarrel.   62 00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:17,340 I think that many of our difficulties come from our theological language.   63 00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:29,220 We've got fixed expressions, Latin words particularly, and they can create prejudices and they prevent   64 00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:32,860 us from understanding the Eucharist.   65 00:05:32,860 --> 00:05:40,900 husband and wife, for example, that love one another as a husband and wife ever   66 00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:45,340 try to explain their love by Freud.   67 00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:57,660 They may not even know that he is a fraud or whatever it is, but so I think   68 00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:03,420 that the theological jargon to some extent has kept us apart.   69 00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:08,120 And here's a little instance of that.   70 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:21,560 There was a poem written by Rilke in which he tells the story of a two-story house.   71 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:30,060 The little boy slept on the second story, his parents on the first story.   72 00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:34,920 There was a floor that kept them apart.   73 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,920 At night, the little boy was frightened.   74 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:50,040 He would knock a book onto the floor, throw a pencil, cough very loudly.   75 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:56,640 to awaken his mother. And finally his mother came upstairs, gave him a drink of water,   76 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:06,640 and everything was clean and lovely. Now that floor, to my mind, is much of our theological   77 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:18,160 talk. And I believe that we will soon, just simply by talking to one another, by dropping   78 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:25,880 pencils and dropping books, that we will come to a deeper understanding of this great sacrament   79 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,880 of love.   80 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:36,520 Now, there's nothing that I can say to you, nothing, that will convince you of the Eucharist   81 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,880 as a sacrifice and as a sacrament.   82 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:47,400 There are some things you just have to experience.   83 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,280 Then you come to know.   84 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,240 The great mysteries of God are understood that way.   85 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:09,440 Now I have in my whole life been tremendously interested in the masses of sacrifice and   86 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,680 in the real presence of our Lord in the blessed sacrament.   87 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:26,080 And I believe, and I have seen it fulfilled many times, that if you're looking for faith   88 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:32,560 in the real presence of the Lord and the sacrament, go there.   89 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:37,200 Kneel down.   90 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,200 Be silent.   91 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:45,200 Let him talk to you, and he will convince you, as he has convinced everyone, of his   92 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:57,960 real presence. In other words, and with this I conclude, when some of the apostles first   93 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:08,120 met our Lord, they said to him, where do you live?   94 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,200 You know what he said?   95 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,200 Come and see.   96 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,200 That's what I say to you.   97 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,200 Come and see.</div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
