Jottings . (continued from page 4) hood. I have discussed this with many religious who seem to think that more than ever we have become a self-centered people. Women with their opportunities of equality in salaries and job opportunities become tutored in thinking of self instead of others. A continual diminishing of the qualities of womanhood—sacrifice, modesty, giving more than getting, has contributed to this ever-increasing vocation shortage of nuns. My young student friend had just told her fellow workers that she was entering the convent. She was afraid to tell them because of the widespread ignorance which surrounds reli gious life. She was advised that it was an apostolate in itself to tell her co-workers what she was doing and why, so that they would know that red-blooded normal attractive American girls do wish to become nuns. The future postulant wrote me: “Oh, you just couldn’t in this world believe the ignorance that people have on the subject of nunsl They just think that only people who are fat and ugly and who couldn’t earn a living in any other way—as one fellow put it—enter convents. I walk down a hall and hear the whispers about me. People hesitate to mention it as if some great tragedy had struck my life and they weren’t sure of the right words to use to comfort me. I was honestly scared to death to mention it in the first place but the more I discuss it with people and try to explain my motives and the life itself the more I am personally convinced, too, that it is right and I gain more confidence every step of the way. I’m so glad God gave me the courage to admit it before the world, despite the ignorance surrounding the subject.’’ These are the stories which don't make best sellers or headlines. The Sister, although living in a cloistered convent, is no less a part of the world than those who walk the streets of the city and ride the buses and work in the big buildings. They are ever aware of what is going on in the world. Their prayers are behind every endeavor of ours as the Holy Father reminded: “All things are of your concern.” ATLANTA WHY NOT SAVE???

(Continued from Page 4) Council of the Lateran in 1123. At the very first ecumenical council at Nicaea in 325 (the site is the present Iznik in Tur key, about 70 miles from an cient Constantinople on the Asi atic shore of the Bosphorus) only a few Western bishops were among the more than 300 at tending. Records indicate that Africa, Spain and Gaul were each represented by only one bishop. The pope did not go to the council personally, but sent two legates to speak and act for him. Too, the approximately 500 bishops present at Chal- cedon in 451 (the fourth general council) were all from the East; the West was represented only by five papal legates (the num ber given by Dr. Hubert Jedin in his history). With the First Lateran Coun cil after the turn of the mil- lenium, the stage for the coun cils shifted to the Western World. Yet even then the issues discussed were frequently ori ental in significance or scope. One of the causes underlying the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, for instance, was the liberation and recovery of the Holy Land. Reunion with the Greeks was a prime reason for the Second Council of Lyons in 1274. And a measure of unity was achieved not only with the Greeks but with others (such as the Armenians and the Copts) during the Council of Basel- Ferrara-Florence, which ter minated in 1445. The Vatican Council which was held a little less than a hundred years ago offers an interesting study in universality of representation. Of the 744 bishops present at one time or another during the delibera tions, at least 200 were from Italy itself, where, alone—to borrow Msgr. Philip Hughes’ phrase—“the custom of the primitive church had continued, that each city should have its bishop.” According to the same historian, more than 120 were from English-speaking lands (46 from the United States) 70 from France, 58 from Germany and the Austrian Empire, 36 from Spain, 30 from Latin America, about 100 from mis sion territories in Asia, Africa and Oceania, and 50 from the Oriental Rite Churches.

THERE ARE NO FURTHER RETREATS SCHEDULED FOR ADULTS UNTIL JANUARY 1963 Says Greek Rite Is A Key To Unity DUESSELDORF, Ger. (NC)~ The Greek Rite of the Catholic Church is a key to Christian reunion, an Eastern Rite pre late said here. Archbishop Gabriel Abou- Saada mentioned a remark of Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., head of the Second Vatican Council’s Secretariat for Pro moting Christian Unity, that the Church is Catholic, not Latin. “This statement,’’ the Arch bishop siad, “must be put more into practice. It constitutes a wish of the Greek Catholic Church which will be brought out at the Second Vatican Coun cil.” The Archbishop said the Ger man bishops agreed with him “that the Greek Catholic Church must come into the view of the Catholic public more than it has up to now.” Sharing Our Treasure— (Continued from Page 4) wife. “Regardless of the weather, Henrietta went off to Mass each Sunday, received Holy Com munion and said her morning and night prayers. I couldn't fail to notice the great help and joy she derived from the devout practice of her Faith. After about six years, I began to accompany her to Mass. Working for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, I had to do a great deal of traveling. “Whenever possible I took Henrietta with me, as we had no children. Wherever we were on Sunday, there was always a Catholic church and we went to Mass together. Any night that I was away from home, whether it was in Berlin, Lon don, Madrid or the U.S.A. dur ing our entire married life, I telephoned Henrietta. When ever I arrived at the railroad station or airport, my wife was there to meet me. “After 37 years of marriage I finally decided to embrace the Catholic Faith. Henrietta had never asked me to do so, but I’m sure she had long been praying for my conversion. Her devout and holy life was the channel through which the grace of God came to me.” “Charles,” I remarked, “your experience is similar to that of Dr. Thomas Brady, vice-president of the University of Missouri, who attributes his conversion to his wife’s exam ple. ‘Her prayers, piety and life,’ he related, ‘were a constant, though unspoken, sermon tell ing me of the strength, serenity and joy derived from the prac tice of her Faith. Only the most perverse person can live with a good Catholic for years and not feel a tremendous attraction toward the Church.’ ” “Yes,” agreed Charles, * ’that’s my conviction too. Hen- reitta and I went to the rectory where we had been married, and Father Joseph MacAllister, C.S.C., gave the instructions. These deepened my realiza tion that the Catholic Church alone was founded by Christ and speaks with His authority. I was received into Christ’s true Church in September 1950 and had the great joy of re ceiving our Eucharistic Lord. Thanks to God and my dear wife, I am now a member of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ.” (Father O'Brien will be glad to have converts send their names and addresses to him at Notre Dame University, No tre Dame, Indiana, so he may write up their conversion sto ries.)

(NC Photos) Pope Urges: “Be Men Of Peace” VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC) - His Holiness Pope John XXIII has urged students to be open- minded and steer clear of pre judices. He made his point during a special Sunday morning aud ience in which he received 1,400 Italian high school students who had been brought to Rome by the Italian Catholic Action or ganization as a recognition of excellence in the study of re ligious culture. The Pope told them (Sept. 16): “Be men of peace—be peace makers.” Then he urged them to avoid “the fatuqus game of bitter and unfair polemics, of preconceived and hidebound an tipathies, of rigid labeling of MARRIAGES SCARBOROUGH - WATKINS SAVANNAH - Miss Brenda Marie Watkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Franklin Watkins and James Randall Scarborough, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Alvin Scarborough were married at Sacred Heart Church September 2nd.

The Pope, who had spent the previous week on retreat in preparation for the ecumenical council, bless ed the people and led them in reciting the Angelus. In the course of the after noon, Pope John drove past ancient Roman relics to the Lateran Palace, where he spent an hour inspecting alterations in progress there. The palace was the site of five ecumeni cal councils and was the home of the popes until the early 1300’s. Parts of it are now being transformed into new, central ized offices for the vicariate- chancery of the Rome diocese. Pope John was accompanied on his tour of the work by Count Enrico Galeazzi, the pa pal architect. Obituaries Auzy C.
