LOUIS—The 25th annual Liturgical Week throughout its sessions provided a thrilling fore taste of a regeneration of the Church at prayer which promises to draw, not push, the whole Catholic people into their full and understanding part in joining Christ in giving praise and thanks to God the Father. The (Aug. 24-27 )meeting at tracted a record 20,000 partici pants. It sent them away a happy army intent on spreading the word about the unlimited poten tial for a dynamic renewal of the whole life of the Church which is provided by the Ecum enical Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy. RUNNING as a current through the whole week was the point that the ongoing rebirth, by removing the veils which have so long hidden the teach ing power of the liturgy, will make Christians sense acutely the brotherhood of man and make them fervent seekers for charity and social justice. In line with this, speaker after speaker at the meeting laid stress on the instruct ional requirements of the lit urgy constitution. They noted that the constitution provides for the thorough revision of lit urgical books so that the rites can be easily understood by the people. But more than this, they cited the constitution's strong emphasis on promoting solid and continuing instruction so that priests, seminarians, Religious and laity alike under stand why "all the faithful should be led to that full, con scious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy." IN DOING This,, Liturgical Week demonstrated effectively that the best way of teaching and learning is by doing. The daily Masses proved even to skeptics that drawing all the people into full and active par ticipation is not a dream. But VOTE FOR AND SUPPORT JOHN W.

A*k Your Friend* and Neighbor* To Vote For John COUNTY-WIDE ELECTION outside of the celebration of the Mass, the week provided for special insights into ways of making the liturgy constitution effective. Demonstrations showed priests a broad spectrum of the possibilities opening up. And •seminar sessions provided new vistas concerning education in the liturgy on all f e ' V els* 1 priests, Religious and laity. There were also special ses sions on the changes needed in church architecture of the future, and in the greater role music is to have in complemen ting public worship. A VITAL concern for Chris tian unity showed through all the week's proceedings, and clergy and lay people from Orthodox, Anglican and Pro testant communions not only listened but contributed to many of the discussion sessions. The celebration of the Mass on each of the four days of the meeting followed the new English usage adopted by the American Bishops last April, which is to come into general use in the U. S. next Nov. 29. Whole congregations of as many as 13,000 people joined as one with the celebrant in reciting or singing, in English, the parts of the Mass they share in common. The solemn proclamation of the Word of God was given in English, not Latin, with the priest facing the people. THE BREAD and wine for the Eucharistic meal were carried to the celebrant in solemn Of- fetory processions composed of lay people. Priests had been requested by Joseph Car dinal Ritter of St. Louis, the host bishop, to join in Com munion in the main Mass of the day rather than to offer their Masses "privately." With a 300-voice choir drawn from throughout the nation and led by C. Alexander Peloquin of Providence, R. L, the place of music in what the liturgy con stitution calls the "necessary and integral part" of Christian worship was demonstrated in wide variety. THE SONGS and anthems us ed were all in English. At the one sung Mass, there were new compositions for such pra yers as the Kyrie and Gloria using the new English texts recently made public. Most of the singing was for choir and congregation alike, and a few minutes’ rehearsal before each Mass enable d the congregation to give full voice. At the end of one of the Masses, an Illinois doctor, new ly arrived at the meeting, said he found the experience "elec trifying," He said active parti cipation at his parish tended to be limited to the few. But if a feeling of oneness could be so vivid in such a vast hall as Kiel Auditorium, he said, he was convinced it is more easy to achieve in the more intimate setting of a parish church. An Episcopalian woman, who said she came to one of the Masses only because she was cajoled into it by her daugh ter, said she was very grate ful to have been there. She ap predated the vitality and beauty of the Mass, and said she felt the use of English in the Catho lic Eucharist would bring Eng lish-speaking Christians closer together. Priests, Sisters, Brothers and lay people alike voiced their enthusiasm freely fol lowing the Masses. The only complaint heard was about hav ing to stand up so long: As there was no room to kneel, the people stood throughout the Communion. Despite the fact that over 40 priests took Communion to the people, it required as much as 25 min utes. ARCHBISHOP Paul J. Hal- linan of Atlanta, one of the two American members of the post council liturgy commission in Rome, summed up the week's purpose in the final address of the meeting. He said the litur- Iroquois Mass AURIESV1LLE, N. Y.

But there is more need for the movement now than ever, he said, "for the same reason that it is easier to win a war than to win the peace fo follow it." Then he said: "NOW that the time of patient work has come, will the in crease continue? I am convic- ed it will. This mighty crowd of men and women who have come to know and love the ways of worship of God is the great blessing of the Church in the United States. "You will return to your homes and your schools, your parishes and diocese, not as the saints come marching in, but as the apostles gomarching out. This is not the end of the road, and the movement is more necessary than ever before."

Theme of the program was "Learn, Love, and Lead the World." ARCHBISHOP HALUNAN: Liturgical Hard Work Must Follow ‘The Brave Deeds” ST. LOUIS (RNS) — If the liturgy is to be restored, it must be done by "the whole Church — bishops, priests and leaders among the faithful," Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan, Archbishop of Atlanta, Ga., told the 25th annual National Lit urgical Week here. Archbishop Hallinan, who, with Joseph Cardinal Ritter, Archbishop of St. Louis, is a member of the Second Vatican Council’s Post-Conciliar Com mission on the Liturgy— said that "it will either be accom plished by the gradual joining in of all God’s people, the eag er, the apathetic, the anxious, the confident, the favorable and the hostile, or it will not be done rightly at all." I NOTING' that there is some resistance to the changes, he said that this resistance was not made up of "elderly ladies in devotional tennis shoes nor ecclesiastical generals and ad mirals retired from clerical reality," but of devout, dedi cated Catholics "who love God and serve their fellow men." He said that zeal for the lit urgy, tact, courtesy, kindness, and persuasion— "all these are the ways of charity"— are needed to win them over. "The law of love has not been repealed by the new Constitu tion," he said, "and it would be a blasphemy to act as if it had." ARCHBISHOP Hallinan said that contrary to some reports that the liturgical movement is no longer necessary, he felt that it is more necessary now than ever "For the same reason that It is easier to win a war than to win the peace that follows it. "What used to be uncharit ably called the ‘way-out ideas’ of the ’far-out litnlks’ now are matters of universal Church law." he said. "The liturgical movement has called for brave deeds," he continued. "Now it calls for hard work. "Now that the time of patient PRIEST SUGGESTS work has come, I am convinced the increase will continue. You will return to your homes and your schools, your parishes and dioceses, not as the saints come marching in, but as the Apostles go marching out. "This is not the end of the road, the movement is more necessary than ever before." HE SAID that bishops will ex ercise their new juridical pow ers, and that priests will use their new training and motiva tion, and that the laity will carry out its new role. The Atlanta prelate warn ed that the renewal now in pro cess will not be "just a matter of months." "Eager Catholics," he said, "will grow impatient, and less eager ones will disapprove. But development is a patient, diligent working out of one doc trine from many materials." "Our immediate past," he added, "is perhaps a token of our immediate future— a patient working-out, a slow, painful, anxious taking up." ARCHBISHOP Hallinan said the writings of the two most recent Popes emphasize two words which are "alive with Christian optimism, and re flect Christian growth and de velopment." "With Pope John," he said, "the challenging word was ’new* He used it to introduce the en cyclical Mater et Magistral ’new’ guidelines to judge the so cial question; and at the Coun cil; ’to add new strength and power to her faith.’ FOR POPE Paul the key word is now "responsible," he added. "John had underlined the grave need of change, and Paul under scores our responsibility of us ing every proper means for it. "In his recent encyclical, re sponsibility was the great theme. It set the tone, whether he was writing of the Church’s meaning, her need of renewal, her need of dialo gue. em I MCE 1888 PRIIINSPtCTIotf^AU.

(NC) —If Christ were preaching to present-day Americans He might urge them to cnre for the hungry, the thirsty, the sick, the imprisoned and the naked in slightly different terms, said a priest here. Father Dennis J. Geaney, O. S. A., suggested to delega tes at the sixth national Cur- sillo Conference at Michigan State University that they look upon Christ's exhortations in these terms: "I was hungry and you sup ported the Alliance for Pro gress. "I was thirsty and you worked to bring Peace Corps and Papal Volunteers to teach irrigation methods. "I was sick and you wrote to your congressman about Medi care, and you perfected Salk vaccine.
