Living Faith Must Be
Rooted In Eucharist
BICYCLE PRIEST
Pedaling a bicycle through most of his missionary career,
Father John M. McFadden, S.S.C., finds that in some areas
it’s the easiest way to reach the people. With another Co-
lun\ban missionary, Father McFadden operates a hotel for
sailors in Buenos Aires while serving as Apostleship of the
Sea chaplain there. Now in Cleveland on his first vacation
in 10 years, the 68-year-old cyclist first took to the bicycle
when serving the Mexican mission in Southern California.

CHICAGO, (NC)-Albert Car
dinal Meyer told some 1,500
delegates to the National Lay-
women’s Retreat Congress here
that "a living faith should be
rooted in the Eucharist.”
Speaking at a Pontifical Mass
(Aug. 18), the Archbishop of
Chicago said that “perfection
is not falling in love with one
self, even with our own vir
tues; it is a falling in love
with God.”
In strengthening the interior
live, he said “what counts is
not the gift of the mind but the
gift of the heart: doing the will
of God even when it seems that
God is distant and we find no
consolationi in His service.”
Cardinal Meyer reminded the
women that strengthening the
interior life does not imply es
caping from the duties of daily
life in society. He quoted His
Holiness Pope John XXIII: “Let
no man imagine that a life of
activity in the world is incom
patible with the interior life.”
The NLRM elected Genevieve
Knox, Plymouth Meeting, Pa.,
as president. Other officers
elected are: Madonna Walk of
Dayton, Ohio, vice president;
Mrs. Lucille Okenfuss, St.
Louis, Mo., secretary, and Re
gina Kelly of Pittsburgh, trea
surer.
Bishop John J. Wright of
Pittsburgh, keynote speaker,
said (Aug. 17) it is more im
portant for clerics ancLlaymen
to think of themselves as mem
bers of a unified Church than as
representatives of smaller
groups within the Church.
"The Church of Christ is a
single, living organism,” he
said. “When people are more
conscious of their function than
they are of the fact that they
are identified with Jesus Christ
through Baptism,. ..then some
one is missing the point.
“The contemporary self-
consciousness of being either
a layman, a clergyman or a
Religious has an unhealthy ele
ment to it,” Bishop Wright
asserted.
"We should be so conscious
of being baptized members of
Christ that we see all our di
verse functions and offices
within the Church as secondary
and subordinate, however high
or low they may be,” he con
tinued.
The Bishop said “there is no
prelate, whatever his rank, who
should not understand that his
true and eternal place in the
life of the Church depends not
on any post he held, but in
the way in which he uses his
baptism and its graces in order
to discharge the duties of that
post.”
Bishop Wright described the
lay retreat movement, which is
observing its 25th anniversary
in the U.S., as “the most im
portant single organization pre
paring people for the Christian
understanding of what it is to
be a member of Christ in the
Church.”
A Jesuit missionary who was
imprisoned in communist China
for two years beginning in 1952
told delegates at the concluding
session that Christians can
meet the challenge of commun
ism today "only by living, lov
ing and giving the whole
Christ.”
Father John Havas, S. J.,
now of New York, described
his confinement as an “inter
national spy.” He said “in my
9-by-5 cell, I realized that my
communist captors were deter
mined to stamp out Christian
ity.”
“They were relentless, de
dicated and dynamic,” he said.
“No sacrifice was too great
for them to make in the name
of world domination.”
“Though I have forgotten all
the privations of my captivity,”
Father Havas declared, "I still
feel sorrow when I remember
that these Chinese men and
women are creatures of God
who have been led astray.”
He urged his listeners, both
Catholic and Protestant, to re
late the spiritual guidance of
their retreats to their daily
lives in the world.
