Student Nurses were present

cluded: An Isolation Unit, an
Intensive Care Unit with all the
complicated equipment needed

room set-up, Oxygen Therapy

VALDOSTA — St. John’s
Church held its May proces
sion on Mary’s Acres to honor
the Mother of God.
The procession was led by
the school children, followed
by each parish organization and
the parishoners. Rosary was
led by Father George Yiengst,
and hymns were sung by the
Faithful.
Our Blessed Mother’s sta
tue was crowned by eighth grad
er, Patricia Slack. Her court of
honor were the other eighth
grade girls:—Anita Stark, Eliz
abeth Slater, Gayle Donnelly,
Mary Jo Nijem, Susan Nolan,
and Janice Joseph.
At the conclusion of the Pro
cession Father Thomas Payne,
Pastor of St. John’s broke
ground for the $97,000.00 addi
tion to the school, to be com
pleted in September. The Prin
cipal of St. John’s School, Sis
ter Mary Pauline, C.S.J.,
and the head of each parish or
ganization, assisted Father
Payne in the ground-breaking
ceremonies.
As the cars left the school
grounds, Father Payne blessed
each one.
Pope John’s motto was “Obe-
dientia et Pax” (Obedience and
Peace). It is painted over the
door of the farm house where he
was born on November 25,1881,
in the village of Sotto il Monte
in the Bergamo province in
northern Italy.

ing reunion has come. The years
in passing do not come easier,
despite the poet, (Sister Madel-
eva) who writes: “Perhaps my
eyes are still a little wet; per
haps my heart may still a little
fret. Detachment is the stuff of
sunderings. Time, so they tell
me, is a brave asset.” Most who
grieve do so in the quiet of their
rooms or in a darkened chapel,
I am not ashamed to weep pub
licly for such grief is common
to all men who love. Tender are
the scripture stories of mo
thers’ weeping over the death
of their children; is it not un
derstandable that a child should
weep for her mother? Never was
I able during Lent to make the
way of the Cross without chok
ing with emotion at the Station
where Christ meets His mother
for the last time and again when
His body is plaqed in her arms.
Certainly the meditation is for
those legion like myself to take
heart and hope. And one of the
beatitudes is aimed at us, too:
"Blessed are those who mourn
for they shall be comforted”
and there is no time element
of one week or a hundred years.
Sometimes, too, we follow more
closely from afar as we keep
faith with out dear dead.

ONE LIVES while the one who
gave birth dies to all that she
had known and loved—the com
ing of springtime, fresh cut
flowers, blue skies, sunsets,
the Warsaw concerto, candle
light, nice linen, fine china—
and most of all goodness. The
loss cuts sharp anew when com
ing like an intruder into a fam
ily circle still secure with the
mother tenderly and affection
ately at the center. A moment of
quick longing as the daughters
come into that embrace, inti
mate, warm. There is a heart
in these homes in Brighton and
on Sheldon and Chase Streets in
Providence where I visit and all
is right with the world because
the mother is there and all the
grown-up bruises and scratches
and fevers can be soothed now
as when they were very young.
Children are always children to
God, too. Someone once told me
that the mother-child relation-

BRUNSWICK—On Thursday,

ship is stronger even than hus
band and wife—but I have no
experience upon which to judge
this.There are so many ways
in which the child—no matter
what the age—misses the pres
ence of a mother, both spirit
ual and physical. One can see
the importance of the ideal re
lationship. It is two years since
I saw the face, heard the voice—
the day we said goodbye and
“memory, how you do aid me
and abet? Time closes round
me with impalable net.” Des
pite the pain of loss, I do not
mourn in protest but from weak
ness love can give the tribute
that all who mourn experience.
Though the years are many and
long, the promise and bond of
love is eternal.
BABY PARTY climaxes Hospital Week at St. Francis Hospital, Columbus. Party was

When the sacring time is here,
And then shalt thou do reverence
