THE SEA UTIFULLY repainted statue of Our Lady pictured above, now in the RosaryChapel of St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River, was originally rescued by parishioner RichardFernandes from a church that planned to discard it.

The statue languish'ed for some time in the former St. Mary's School, across Second Streetfrom the Cathedral, said Father Horace J. Travassos, outgoing Cathedral rector. Then alongcame seminarian Michael Lindo of Espirito Santo parish, Fall River, who lovingly restoredOur Lady to her original glowing splendor.

She is worth a visit and a grateful rosary. (Anchor/ J olivet photo)

representing an increase over theprior year's result of nearly 25 per­cent. Two parishes in the NewBedford deanery reported excel­lent percentage increases: St. Fran­cis X!lvier parish in Acushnet hadan 18 percent increase, gathering$11,668 in this year's campaign,while St. Rita's parish in Marion,with returns of $9,564, achieved ahealthy 17 percent increment.Among parishes in the upper tierof Bristol County, Our Lady ofMount Carmel in Seekonk con­tinued to show remarkable growth,achieving a final tally of$57,840 inthis year's Appeal.

Offsetting the encouraging re­sults in these and many other par­ishes (83 parishes in total surpassedlast year's amount) were some un­expected difficulties which severalparishes experienced in their ef­forts to meet or exceed the totalsreceived in previous years. Diversefactors appear to have been con­tributing factors leading to a level­ing off of the overall Diocesaneffort.

Funds generated by the Appeall!re used to fund social services,health care, education and pas­toral endeavors.

It is expected that further re­turns will continue to arrive atDiocesan Headquarters and willbe considered "new money" forthe 1998 Appeal.

which is where the role of early reli­gious education comes in,

Whether in a Catholic school or aparish education program, childrenneed'to learn that respect is fOUtJdedon !1ivine principles. Of course, wealso know today that the virtue ofrespect must be taught to childrenproperly so that they don't misunder­stand it to mean they must alwaysdo what any adult.whatsoever tellsthem.

Learning the virtue of respectcomes down to learning life's value- learning not to devalue the com­mitments and bonds formed amongpeople who care for and about eachother: .

The problem is that if a personreaches adulthood without having agrasp of the virtue of respect, pro­grams and mandates end up servingas stopgap measures.

If marriages are to be rescued be­fore they begin, the church and civic ,society would do well to focus moreattention on the places where respectis first learned: in the home and inelementary religious education.

If you would like informationabout Marriage Preparationc1as.-.es, call the Office of FamilyMini<;try, tel. 999-6420.

Littleton, Colo., gives another goodreason for mandating marriagepreparation: "In my lifetime coupleshave gone from taking roles precastby the culture along gender lines tomaking roles according to theirneeds."

An example of what Miller is re:ferring to is the role of women, onceviewed primarily in terms of child­rearing. Today many husbands andwives negotiate this role.

Marriage-preparation programscan do a lot of good. But some ofthe good they do should really getdone much earlier in a.person's life- at home, as a child.

One common goal of marriage­preparation programs created bycivic communities is to teach re­spect. But shouldn't the virtue of re­spect be instilled in childhood? Whywait until adulthood to rescue it?

Respect means recognizing thedignity of others and giving themreverential space. It means never tak­ing another person for granted, neveracting as if you own another person.

The best place to teach this is athome, through. the example of therespect Ii. husband and'wife have foreach other. But today's parents alsoneed outside support in their role,

_Marriage preparation..•as a child?'By Father Eugene Hemrick

A great outcry was heard whendioceses first mandated that engagedcouples participate in marriage­preparation courses before' gettingmarried. One irate couple told me:"How dare the church tell grownadults how to prepare for marriage!What can it·tell us that we don't al­ready know?"

Although most people don't likemandates, some rules are necessaryto keep body and soul, as well associety, together.

- Today marriage preparation is not.only advocated by the church, but bycivic communities as well.

In a recent New York Times 'ar­ticle, "Rescuing Marriages BeforeThey Begin," by Hara EstroffMarano, it is reported that a numberof U.S. counties now r~uire mari­tal education in order to~btain a civilmarriage license. The education cov­ers topics like conflict resolution andmoments in family life that can leadto divorce.. Judge James E.

the moorins..-,·Explain the Word: Don't Dissect It

As was reported last week, the United States Conference ofCatholic Bishops will have a more than full agenda to face when itmeets in Kansas City next week. Chief among the items awaitingthem will be approval of a new Sacramentary for use in the UnitedStates. The Sacramentary, which includes texts for all Masses andfor administration of certain sacraments, is one of the most impor­tantliturgical books used in the Church. For years the BishopshaVe been debating and voting on various parts ofthe Sacramentary;in fact, there have been few issues so rehashed and recycled attheir meetings. What they are trying to do amoun~ to a confusingmuddle for all except the so-called experts..

The new Sacramentary will supplant the present 1970 edition.In its revised forin it is expected to be more people-oriented, of­fering a wider range of prayers that are more retlective of the lit­urgy. But in the meantime, parishes are unable to replace worncopies of the present Sacramentary because publishers have ceasedreprinting it while waiting for the new edition. It's been a long,really rather uncalled~for wait.·

Now, couple this issue with the fierce debate over inclusive lan­guage for a new Lectionary, the book which contains readings andresponsorial psalms for Mass, and you can see why Rome is burn­ing as many play their own fiddle. History shows that many sub­jects have polarized the Bishops, but none seems to have arousedmore emotions than that of inclusive language. Some bishops havebarely gone beyond the Douai version of Scripture and others wantto return to it. Some remain loyal to the thees and thous of theKing James version, while.the New American Bible is simply toonew for too many. .

With all this in mind; can you imagine what happens when gen­der considerations are thrown into the pot? Sad to say, the subjectof '!n inclusive language Lectionary has become a matter ofeccle­siastical politics. But in their zeal for their respective causes, thoseinvolved have not done justice to what is basic: concern for theo-·logical and linguistic accuracy. '.

Most bishops in our country were ordained after the 1963 pro­mulgation ofthe Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy by the SecondVatican Council. At that time the Council Fathers declared thatliturgical services are not private functions but are celebrations ofthe Church, which is the "sacrament ofunity," namely a holy peopleunited and organized with their bishops. Contrary to some of thetelevised liturgical mishmash retlecting individual points of view,the Constitution clearly stated that liturgical services are not occa­sions for private piety or subjective interpretations, but rather per­tain to the whole body of the Church although they do concernindividual members in varying ways; for example, the diversitywithin holy'orders as pertaining to bishops, priests and deacons.

However, the Constitution emphasizes the importance of theconcept of communal celebration of the liturgy, which inclUdesthe presence and active participation of the faithful. The CouncilFathers stated such celebrations to be preferable to those that areindividual and quasi~private..They also instructed" with regard torevisions of liturgical books such as those now being consideredby our bishops, that it be ensured that the rubrics take the role ofthe people into account.

Therefore let us hope that we will have'a new Sacramentaryand Lectionary available for parish use in the very neat future. Letus also hope that their language will be comprehensible by all andthat it will communicate the Word clearly and unequivocally, as ittruly should be, not as some think it should be; .

her first extended trip away fromIndia since then. She has kept alower public profile and seems tohave been taking it easier than onprevious trips abroad.

She was accompanied by hersuccessor as leader of the Mission­aries of Charity, Sister Nirmala,an Indian-born convert to Catho­licism who was elected by theorder in March.

Serving as master of ceremo­nies, Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., toldMother Teresa "you and your sis­ters are a welcome and necessarysign of contradiction" in a centurymarked by "wars, ethnic and racialhatreds, mad ideologies and plainold,human w!ckedness."

Bishop Gelineau, 69, who be­came bishop of Providence, at ayouthful 43, said a coadjutorbishop provides for a "better tran­sition," and he was convinced overthe course of the last two yearsthat his suggestion to Rome ofBishop Mulvee as coadjutor hadbeen a good match for the diocese.

Bishop Gelineau said he w.ould, like to be remembered as a bishop

who was "out among the people,leading them in liturgy and prayer,teaching and preaching."

Bishop Mulvee said he has sim­ilar thoughts on the pastoral roleof the bishop. "All the diocesanoffices, the whole administrationbuilding, is in place to serve thepriests and the people in the par­ishes." Administration is neces­sary, but serving the people is whatchurch is all about, he said.

As Bishop Mulvee begins work,Bishop Gelineau said he is lookingforward, to "taking a vacation,resting and relaxing, and lookingat the many options available tome." He plans to travel, may takeup golf and may arso resume play­ing the saxophone, something heonce enjoyed.

"I hope he won't do that," BishopMulvee quipped. "His room at theCathedral Residence is right belowmine."

And she asked repeatedly forprayers for those who serve thepoor, hungry, homeless, sick anddying.

"I want you all to pray for us,"she asked. "Pray that we will con­tinue to do God's work."

Though she came into the ro­tunda in a wheelchair, the 86-year­old nun was steady on her feet asshe stood to accept the a ward andmake a few remarks.

After'a bout with serious' hearttrouble and pneumonia last fall,Mother Teresa has grad'ually re­sumed a busier .\yorkload. This.is

succession of Bishop Mulvee asthe seventh Bishop of Providence.

Both bishops were required tokeep the information confidentialuntil it was announced by PopeJohn Paul II June II in Rome.

Commenting on the lack offan­fare involved in the transfer ofpower, Bishop Gelineau and Bish­op Mulvee agreed that this is whatthey wished. The much-heraldedanniversary celebrations and theMass two years ago, welcomingBishop Mulvee to the diocese ascoadjutor, were fitting liturgicalcelebrations to mark the ending ofone episcopacy and the beginningof another they said.

Bishop Mulvee said the twoyears he has spent as coadjutorhave been helpful preparation forthe time that has now arrived. Hesaid during these 27 months hehas met many people - those inthe diocesan Administration Of­fices and in the parishes, men andwomen religious and lay people.At the same time, he has met on anumber of occasions with the other'denominational executives inRhode Island. Although, he said,every diocese is similar in doingthe work of the church, he nowfeels he has a "better sense of thisdiocese and state." He added thathe has been "warmly received andaccepted, and that encourages megreatly."

PROVIDENCE - With no fan­fare and following a planthat wasput into motion just over twoyears ago when a coadjutor bishopwas named to the diocese, BishopLouis E. Gelineau submitted hisresignation to the Vatican on April30. On June II, that resignationwas accepted by the pope, andBishop Robert E. Mulve~ becamethe seventh Bishop of Prqvidence.

The letter to Pope John Paul IIwas mailed just three days after theApril 27 dual celebration of thediocese's 125th anniversary andBishop Gelineau's own 25th anni­versary as ordinary of the Provi­dence diocese. That, too, was partof his plan, Bishop Gelin~au said.

In an interview with the Visitor,official newspaper of the Provi­dence diocese, Bishop Gelineauand Bishop Mulvee said the transi­tion had taken place. Bishop Mul­vee took over the offic~ of thediocesan bishop at the Chanceryafter being notified of the pope'sacceptance of Bishop Gelineau'sresignation. '

Both bishops reported that theyhad received a phone call from theapostolic pro-nuncio's Qffice inWashington, D.C. The call wasfollowed by official confirmationin writing of acceptance of theresignation by Pope John Paul IIat the Vatican and the automatic.

The time and attention that accompany punishmentis called "secondary gain." Too often the secondary gainoutweighs the primary painfulness.

What parent has not exclaimed: "The more I get afterhim, the worse he gets. He's just doing it to get atten­tion." Of course he is. So try a better way.

With Dr. James &Mary Kenny

If punishment worked well, parents would not haveto use it so often. So why do .parents punish? Probablybecause they believe that punishment hurts and childrenwill behave to avoid the hurt. The key question parentsshould ask, however is, Does punishment work?

For more information on good di..cipline, send forthe Kenny book "Loving and Learning" ($7.95 plus$1.50 postage) to the a~dre...s below.. Reader ques~ns on family living and child care

to be answered in print are invited. Address ques­tions: The Kennys; St. Joseph's College; 219 W.Harrison; Rensselaer, Ind. 47978.

"I have learned that you learn nothing when you'retalking, so it's important to learn how to listen with yourears; your eyes and your emotions. When you do, whole

. new worlds unfold, new skills develop and a fresh viewof life expands. Best of all, people will find you inter­esting," wrote Josephine Rossano, 73.

have written, and of course, being a writer, I'd never beable to keep my thoughts down to a paragraph or two!But I did remember something I once learned from anolder person, the Dutch priest-psychologist, FatherAdrian Van Kaarn.

He was talking about choices people make in theiryounger years which determine what kind of an olderperson they will become. Those who 'are self-centeredwill grow increasingly so as the years go on, and will becrotchety and unpleasant to be around as they age, hesaid. But those who look outward to others and upwardto God, growing in their spiritual life, will become a

. "blessed presence to others in their old age."l remember then and there asking God to help me

become that "blessed presence." If I were passing on abit of wisdom to the young, that's what I would share.

Older people rarely are recognized for having gainedsome wisdom over the years. So it caught my attentionwhen my local morning newspaper published an article .giving the responses of people - ranging from theirlate 50s to late 80s - who were asked to tell "some­thing they have learned that they would like to pass onto the younger generation."

Three areas came up prominently in what these peoplehad learned in the decades of life. One was the impor­tance of love, which was called by 8Q-year-oldAmandaStolt "the greatest gift in life."

Next was the joy of family, with seniors pointing outhow crucial it is for a family to eat meals together, praytogether, engage in activities together and listen to oneanother. .

Third was the blessing of learning - ke~ping one'smind active and alert. "I have learned that all we are isthe result of what we have thought," wrote Bill Murphy,7h

The wisdom that -flowed from that article .was im­pressive. Some spOke of Iife:s. difficulties, but affmnedthat one could still "choose" to be happy. !'After all, hap­piness is the ability to appreciate what we have instead..of thinking about what we don't have. So each morning,when you're awake, make your choice," wrote JohnMcLaughlin, 65.

Many spoke of having a faith which has guided themthrough both sad and joyful times. Several emphasiZedthe importance of being optimistic enough to enjoy life.

A few advised the young to be honest, decent, de- 'pendable, to stick to their convictions and not be swayed'by those who would lead them down the wrong paths.They urged the young to be leaders, not followers, tohave a pleasant personality, be kind to others, cooperatein charitable activities and, most impQrtant, set achiev~able goals.

Several urged the young to cultivate and nurture wis­dom, and some said this can't be achieved unless onelearns to listen.

Punishment versus disciplineDear Dr. Kenny: Is spanking kids child abu..e?

.What's wrong with a good swift swat to a well-pad­ded bottom? Let the child learn that misbehavior willresult in punishment.

H more pa,rents took their responsibility seriously, .we would have far less delinquency today. - NewHampshire

I agree wiUl your last statement, that parents need totake child rearing seriously. Punishment, however, is apoor way to motivate and discipline children.

Is spanking child abuse? Technically, in most statesthat depends on whether the spanking leaves marks thatcan be seen a day later. '

Whether or not spanking qualifies as child abuse, it iswrong. Many states forbid foster parents to use physi­cal punishment., Verbal abuse can be even worse. Whether the tongue­

lashing involves obvious demeaning and put-downs orwhether the abuse is more subtle, inducing guilt iQ thechild, verbal abuse strikes at the soul. \ .

Punishment· itself is questionable. Punishment is notgood discipline because it does'not work well to obtainthe desired result. Discipline includes many more ef­fective techniques for stopping misbehavior and obtain­ing compliance.

Discipline is the total character-molding of the childthrough love, example, praise and attention for goodbehavior, and ignoring and punishment for bad behav­ior.

Punishment may provide a short-term deterrent solong as the parent is bigger and stronger and in control.Usually, punishment is the last resort o'f a frustrated and.unskilled parent. .

If punishment were effective, advertisers would useit. Have you seen or heard an ad that threatened badconsequences such as loss of popularity or financial in­security unless you use the product? No, because suchan approach would not induce us to buy what they wereselling. AdS stay 'positive. . '. Too often children are subjected to a barrage of what's

wrong with them. Th~ child confronted with constantyelling, scolding, moraIizil.lg and spanking will learn thateither he or she is a bad character or that parents are tobe avoided. Or more simply, the child will tum off andtune out. .

Punishment, with its focus on misbehavior, fails toinform a child what he or she should be doing: Identify-

. ing the misbehavior (e.g. curfew violation), targetingits opposite (coming home on time) and rewarding be­ing on time (with small privileges) is more likely to beeffective. The rewarding indicates clearly what is re­quired and gives attention to the appropriate behavior.

The most serious indictment of punishment is that itencourages the very behavior that parents are trying toeliminate. By focusing on the undesirable behavior, par-

"The test results can pointto any number of conditions,ranging from simply being outofshape to a previously unde,tected asthma condition or a ,more severe respiratory prob,lem," explained Dr. Awad.Results may also be used toprescribe an appropriate exer,cise program for a patient whohas not previously exercisedand is not sure at which levelto begin.

Msgr. Arthur Michalka is typi­cally not at a loss for words; he isusually the first to rise with ques­tions or a comment after a lectureor presentation.

But he groped for words to de­scribe what the tornado had doneto Jarrell, the tiny commu~ityjustacross Interstate 35 from his church."How could any force do that?" hesaid, trying to explain qow thetwister had literally blown aparthomes and lives.

The tornado, which the NationalWeather Service is estimating ashaving been an F-5 intensity, themost powerful possible, rippedapart the Double Creek develop­ment, killing 27 residents on May27.

It left very little in its wake: veh­icles twisted into chunks of metal,scattered coloring books, a restau­rant bill, small pieces of plaster­board, coffee cups.

Identifying remains has been apainstakingly slow and difficultprocess. The Texas Depaqment ofSafety crime lab and Travis Countymedical examiners officials areusing fingerprints, dental records,tattoos and other methods to iden­tify the bodies. Often, familymembers cannot identify theirdeceased relatives.

Among those dead are MariaRuiz, 53, and her two sons, Johnand Michael, who had been pari­shioners of Holy Trinity parish inCorn Hill, where Msgr. Michalkais pastor.

"I am more than pleasantly sur­prised" at how the program isgoing, she·said. "I am amazed athow bright these young peopleare_ They underestimate them­selves. They have some wonderful

-abilities to approach problemsfrom different directions."

Munoz believes the program is away to fix the problems of south­west Detroit at the root. "We keepworrying about more policemenon the street," she explained. "Ifwe give these kids a job and aneducation" there might not be asmuch of a problem.

Gonzales and Bonilla's foreman,Jim Guerrero, is also impressedwith their work. "There's a lot to

.learn on these machines," he said."For the short time they've beenhere, they've been learning quiterapidly."

"It shows by the company in­vesting in these young people, thekids will work hind and have pridein their work and for the com­pany," he added.

The Grace Program was launch­ed in December with its first group,consisting of II ex-gang members.

The Dziennik Polski magazinedepicted it this way: "The room iskept as if its tenant was to return in

, a moment. There is an iron bedalong the wall - typical of theboarding houses of old.

"These beds usually had mat­tresses with an opening in themiddle; they were filled with eitherrye or wheat straw. The straw rus­tles wonderfully when the sleeperturns from side to side."

The publication explained that"Father Professor Karol Wojtyla,"

, as the pope was then known, slepton one of those mattresses duringhis early stays at Jaszczurowkaand continued to sleep on one ofthe iron beds every time he came.

"The bed was a little short withrespect to the posture of thebishop," it added. "But the Ursu­line nuns weren't worried by thisbecause they recall that after ahard day of skiing, the bishopdropped into the bed and didn'tfret about its size."

That might have been fine forthe young Bishop Wojtyla, but it'sa different story for the present­day pope: The accommodationsfor his one and only free day weretailor-made.

He was also probably destinedto meet a few other people: In Vat­ican accounts of Pope John Paul'sstrolls in the woods, he almostalways comes across strangers.

-It was unlikely that one of themwould be a member of the Vaticanpress corps, as the ~O jour.nalistsand photographers traveling withthe pope were housed in Krakowfor the night - and encouraged tostay there.

The residents of the town tookthe arrival of their famous guest intheir stride: The windows anddoors of a,number of houses were,festooned with the pope's photo oryellow and white Vatican flags,but there were no outward signs ofchange in the normal rhythm ofthe place.

But that does-not mean the resi­dents are blase about the pope: Heis immortalized in local books. His,early habit of making long staysthere lends an unending luster tothe area's reputation.

Papal holiday: Masses, mountains and memoriesBy Lynne Weil

KRAKOW, Poland (CNS) ­For one day during his pastoraltrip to Poland, Pope John Paul IIwas able to enjoy clear mountainair and a clear calendar.

Having hit the half-way point ofhis II-day journey to 12 cities, the'pontiff hada scheduled day of restat the Zakopane resort in the TatraMountains June 5.- It is a piace of many recollec­

tions for the 77-year-old pope, anda place where memories about himare kept very much alive.

Pope John Paul stayed in acorner suite on the second floor ofthe Polish bishops' retreat house.

Details of the papal suite wereprovided in a special supplementthe Polish newspaper DziennikPolski devoted to the May 31~June 10 papal trip:

The "stylish furniture," it said,was designed by a well-knownlocal sculptor., "The bed is beautifully carved,

as is the bed stand. The livingroom has armchairs and a table; itis here that the Holy Father willhost guests," the paper reported.

The magazine noted that a fire­place stood ready for ·use againstthe, crisp, high-elevation climate.

, It also pointed out ,that "hangersand closets are of a height appro­priate for the Holy Father."

Vatican planners for the papaltrip said 15 hiking trails were se­lected for the pope's pleasure. Se­curity forces were to be postedalong all the trails, in case heshould choose to use one. Althoughhe no longer manages the briskforest forays of his younger days,

, Pope John Paul reportedly stillenjoys a' walk in the mountainwoods.

Rumors abounded about whatthe pontiff might do'that day, butthe Vatican was disciplined aboutdistributing information until theday was almost done.

Vatican spokesman JoaquinNavarro-Valls reported, that thepope rose early as usual and wasalone in the chapel by 6 a.m. At7:30 he celebrated Mass with the20 nuns running the retre'at houseand about 15 lay people. For anhour-and-a-half after that, he saton his balcony with a', view of thewoods. "

At 10:30 he was taken for ahelicopter ride over some of theplaces he knows from his sojournsin the area. After lunch and a bit ofrest, the pope was taken by car to a,scenic lake for a walk. AnotherMass in the evening closed theday. '. Before the pope left Rome forPoland, Vatican spokesman Joa­quin Navarro-Valls told CatholicNews Service about plans,for thepontiffs day off: "Certainly for the
