L PAGE 2 — The Georgia Bulletin, April 2,1970 Rome Easter Rites (Continued from Page 1) were on the ascent of the back of the Palatine Hill, amid the ancient ruins of Pagan Rome. The Pope ignored the drizzling rain, although everybody with an unbrella had it open, and was deeply devotional as the prayers Were recited in various languages. He returned to his theme in his brief homily after the Way of the Cross was completed. “The terrible affliction and dishonor of the Cross,” he said was endured by Christ “without pain killers which mitigate our suffering. On Holy Saturday the Pope attended ceremonies in St.Peter’s and presided over the,blessing of the new fire and the baptismal waters. On Easter he celebrated Mass at St. Peter’s and then gave his blessing from the balcony above the city of the world. During the Mass at St. Peter’s on Easter the Pope distributed Communion to 20 men and women from Korea dressed in their national costumes. The sections of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Prayers of the People, were read in a variety of modern languages. Earlier on Easter morning Pope Paul went to Acila, a suburb of Rome, to celebrate Mass for 5,000 people, most of them low-income workers and refugees from Europe and Africa. Enormous crowds, estimated at more than 100,000 by Vatican Radio commentators^ turned out for the Mass at St. Peter’s and the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” (To the City and the World) papal blessing in Latin, which the Pope delivered from the great main balcony overlooking the thousands massed below in St. Peter’s Square. In his Easter message, prior to the blessing, the Pope proclaimed the triumph of Christ’s Resurrection and warned men against forgetting the Risen Christ’s message of peace and justice. As he had done at the earlier public ceremonies of Holy Week, the Pope dwelt on the religious and spiritual significance of the season. Without going into specific problems of wars around the globe, he made his theme the words of the risen Christ: “Peace be with you.” UnAu/umce in all ili josund!

He takes refuge in the evidence of his wonderful achievements, he sustains himself with the sincerity of his experiences, he relies on high-sounding words in vogue at the moment. The reality is that fear costs him into reeling doubt as to thy value of everything he has done.” Stressing the need for man to pay attention to the demands of the spirit, the Pope said’ “If you, men of our time, do not wish to be deceived by your very wisdom, nor wish to turn your very progress into a weapon of destruction, remember the prior claim of that kingdom of God which Christ proclaimed as the supreme justice of the world.” Bishops Secretariat Elects Cdl. Dearden VATICAN CITY (NC)- Pope Paul VI has announced the names of the 15 bishops who will make up the new council of the general secretariat of the Synod of Bishops, including Cardinal John F.

(NC Photo) ■ ■ Both he and Cardinal Paul Zoungrana of Ouagadougou, Upper Volta, were elected by bishops from around the world on the first mail ballot. The names of the 12 elected members, chosen in two mail ballots by the bishops, and three members appointed by Pope Paul, were released by the Vatican March 23. Only two of the 12 elected members, Cardinals Dearden and Zoungrana, were elected with a dear majority on he first ballot. (Speaking in Detroit March 15, Cardinal Leo Suenens of Marines-Brussels, revealed that Cardinal Dearden was No. 1 in the voting.) The other 10 were selected on a second ballot, which contained the names of those bishops who had received the relatively highest number of votes. The council of the synod’s general secretariat will assist Bishop Ladislaw Rubin, general secretary of the synod, and the Holy See in preparing the synod meetings. The other elected members are: Cardinals Norman Gilroy of Sydney, Australia; Valerian Gracias of Bombay, India; Julius Doepfner of Munich, Germany; Leon Duval of Algiers; Agnelo Rossi of Sao Paolo, Brazil; Antonio Poma -of Bologna, Italy, and Francois Marty of Paris; Also Archbishop Joseph Cordeiro of Karachi, Pakistan; Archbishop John Zoa of Yaounde, Cameroon, and Archbishop Marcos G.

The elections were presided over by a three-man commission composed of Archbishop Enrico Nicodemo of Bari, Italy, Bishop Johannes Vonderach of Chur, Switzerland, and Bishop Rubin. 1st Mexi-American Bishop Foresees More HOUSTON (NC)-Father Patrick F. Flores, the first Mexican- American priest elevated to the rank of bishop; hopes he won’t he the last. Moreover, the 40-year-old Houston, priest, named auxiliary to Archbishop Francis J. Furey of San Antonio, hopes his appointment will become a “source of encouragement” for Mexican-American priests, seminarians and prospective vocations. ‘‘If this can be accomplished,” he said, “I’m very willing' to be the first victim.” Bishop-elect Flores, a native of Ganado, Tex., who was reared in the Galveston-Houston area, has identified closely with Mexi can-America Catholics and their causes. He has served in three predominantly Spanish-speak ing parishes in Houston and has headed the Galveston- I've flipped at the fantastic savings at THE SAMPLER. Houston diocesan Bishops’ Committee for the Spanish Speaking. He has also been diocesan director of both the Cursillo movement and the Christian Family Movement, and was a charter member of “Padres,” the organization of Mexican-American priests. He has helped Mexican-Americans find better housing and jobs, has helped Spanish-speaking dropouts resume their education,- and has encouraged other 5 M exican-American students to remain in school. He has also sided with farm workers seeking collective bargaining protection. Father Flores is currently serving as pastor of St. Joseph-St. Stephen Parish in Houston. As auxiliary bishop, he emphasized that he would be “interested in every person, regardless of color, race or religion. My main interest will be to help people develop religiously, intellectually and humanly.” But he added: “My call of duty would be to those who need the most of my services.” The San Antonio archdiocese, which covers 32 Central and South Texas c o untie s , i n c ludes approximately 500,000 Catholics-70% of whom are Mexican-Americans. (Archbishop Furey, who recently established an archdiocesan Commission on Mexican-American affairs, said at a news conference (March 18) in San Antonio: ‘Padres’ Get Grant For Mobile Priests 2105 N. Decatur Road" at Clairmont 377-5911 1041 MARIETTA ST N W (off Howell Mill Rd .1 872-6992 For Appointment NEW YORK (NC)--“Padres,” a fledgling organization of Mexican-American priests, has been awarded a $7,000 grant by the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO). Announcement of the grant was made at IFCO offices here by Father Ralph Ruiz of San Antonio, national chairman of Pr.dres, which was formed last year. Father Ruiz said the funds will go toward implementing plans to establish mobile team? of priests who would work with churches and other institutions, trying \to use their resources better in support of self-determination . efforts of poor Mexican- Americans. The community organization proposal was among the major resolutions adopted by Padres at its first national convention last month in Tucson, Ariz. Father Ruiz also announced that he had been loaned for a two-year period by the San Antonio archdiocese to help organize Padres. “There are hundreds of thousands of Catholics in the archdiocese, the majority of whom are of Mexican-Ameri can descent. I felt, therefore, that I should ask Pope Paul to appoint Bishop-elect Flores to assist me with the many and varied tasks that are mine as archbishop.” The news conference was held to announce Bishop-elect Flores’ appointment as auxiliary.) In a telephone interview, Father Flores told NC News that he views the emerging self-determination , mood among Mexican-Americans as a “rising star of hope.” The Spanish-speaking, he said, are behind the times socially, economically and politically. “At last we are beginning to do things for ourselves,” he said. “Mexican-Americans want to help themselves, but we admit honestly we cannot do it all.” He said members of that ethnic group should be helped to help themselves. Bishop-designate Flores plans to continue working on a limited basis with Padres. He said he was heartened that the organization’s leaders are indicating “they want to do things constructively, not negatively.” He also said favors adapting the liturgy to fit the Mexican-Americans’ cultural needs, which he said, “must be taken into account.” As an example, Father Flores noted that in St. Joseph-St. Stephen Parish in Houston, he purposely scheduled Mariachi Masses for services which were poorly attended. “Now they are packed,” he said, describing the faithful’s response to the Mass in Spanish. Mexican-American Catholics, he said, prefer the Mariachi Mass “because they feel its their ‘thing.’ They feel they Eire really taking part, rather than being spectators.” Bishop-elect Flores will be consecrated May 5 in San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio. That date, known in Spanish as “Cinco de Mayo,” has a special significance for Americans of Mexican decent. One of Mexico’s two greatest independence holidays, it is observed in a festive manner by some Mexican-Americans in the (J.S., particularly in the Southwest.

BOX 4664 ATLANTA 2, GEORGIA 355-2820 “He Took Bread And Gave Thanks!” Our English word, “Eucharist,” comes from the Greek, ‘eucharistia,’ meaning “thanksgiving.” The Lord’s Supper, the Passover Meal, was actually a Thanksgiving Meal. It celebrated the Chosen People’s exodus from Egypt’s slavery to the freedom of their own land. Each time we celebrate this meal our Lord gave us, we express our thanksgiving as God’s People freed from the slavery of sin to live in peace and brotherhood with all men in every land. When we receive the Eucharist we accept all others as brothers in Christ. Is not Holy Communion a sharing of our Christ-life with the commun-ity of men? To receive the Eucharist is to thank God for the blessings of Our life by sharing with those in need. As Catholics and Americans we have much to be thankful for. We have, when needed, our doctors, dentists, hospitals, and drug stores. We have good food and water, supermarkets, and cooking appliances. We have clothes, shoes, warm homes, and sanitation. We have education, career opportunities, the theater, arts, and television. We have the means to live Christian lives, and the freedom and personal dignity that America provides. We reap the good things of America from automobiles, highways, and space pioneering to welfare, insurance, and social security. And on and on... Thank God for the good life he has provided you and your family. Receive the Eucharist and accept in your heart those of our world who are illiterate, diseased, homeless, hungry, and naked. Those imprisoned by inhuman poverty. Thank God for the goodness you have received by sharing some good with the missionaries bringing to underdeveloped peoples food, homes, medicine, education.. .the Eucharist.
