CELEBRATION, CREATIVITY, AND
WORSHIP . . .Forty young people from the Atlanta
area and North Georgia devoted a weekend in the
mountains to worship and liturgy - celebrating God’s
presence in the world and His love for His people. The
teenagers who participated in the program at
Amicalola Falls last weekend are from the parishes of
Sacred Heart, Holy Cross, Holy Spirit, Corpus Christi,
St. Patrick’s and the Lawrenceville Mission, St. Luke’s
in Dalonega and from St. Joseph’s High School. Above,
Ronda Welch, Jim Kearny, and Lucy Zapata enjoy the
outdoors together at one of the breaks. The photo was
snapped by Jamie Osbourn from Murrayville, Georgia,
one of the teenagers on the weekend. This is the
second Liturgy and Worship Weekend sponsored by
the Office of Religious Education, although the office
has sponsored these Come-Together Weekends on
various themes during the past five years. Adults
responsible for the planning and carrying out of the
program were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stokes, Father Ed
Danneker, Sister Mary Kay Baldinger, Sister Carol
Kredo, Miss Jean Kissel and Sister Mary Zogyby.
Stewing
With Shirley
BY SHIRLEY WARD
When my sisters and I were all children, the best part
of birthdays were the dinners that my mother would
cook. The birthday girl was allowed to pick just what
she would like and my mom would chore away in the
kitchen, preparing each specific dish. I have not the
foggiest idea what my sisters chose, but come my
birthday, we would have breaded pork cutlets, mashed
potatoes and gravy, some vegetable which I have
forgotten and for dessert plum pie with lots of whipped
cream. Now this wasn’t any old plum pie; these were
plums which my mom had picked and put up herself.
The plums were wild and grew in the country where her
sister lived. And they were sour - I can still taste that
puckering sourness. I must say my mother could bake
the best pies. That crust was so light and yummy.
All was fine with the birthday dinners, until I got
married. The second year of my marriage we were
stationed in Florida, and no one was there to fix my
dinner. Pork cutlets, the way I like them, are found only
in markets in Iowa and with meat rationing in effect, I
probably could not have gotten them anyway. I recall
one long ago evening, on Friday to be exact, when my
husband came home with those gorgeous steaks and said,
“let’s eat them tonight.” The commissary was going to
be closed for the weekend and had some sort of special
deal to get rid of them. We said an extra Our Father, put
the tuna back in the can, and ate steaks!!
My husband had picked up a jar of the canned plums
and kept them as a surprise for my birthday dinner.
Well, I really turned on the boo-hoos when I saw that jar
of plums, not only because I missed my parents, but I
could not make a decent pie!!!
My husband is not much of a cornbread eater but he
did say this was the best he had ever eaten. Here is
Yankee Com Bread!

Many people are asking today “Why did so many
women leave the Convent?” or “Why are there so few
people entering religious life today?” that the publicity
these questions has caused has perhaps become a factor
in itself. I would never attempt to answer such a
complex question because there are too many
individual factors, such as motivations, environment,
psychology, theology, etc., which would render any
theoretical answer immediately inadequate. However,
since one of these factors touches on what I consider to
be an essential element in religious life, I would like to
address myself to it.
In past decades, the image
that most people had of nuns
was based on their
impressions received as
children from the sisters who
taught in the school or served
in a hospital. Frequently
these impressions were largely
colored by the memory of
one particular person who
made the greatest impression,
whether favorable or
unfavorable. Since terror
tends to be remembered more
than kindness, the bad
experiences were more likely
to be remembered.
Be this as it may, we were
known as teachers, nurses,
social workers-as professional
women of one sort or another
- rather than as women of
prayer. Previously a subtle
impression was given that, if a
woman wanted to be truly
dedicated in a service career,
her place was in the convent;
today a woman’s dedication
to her job stands to her own
merits and achievements
rather than a blanket status
deriving from her vocation in
life. Thus the conclusion
drawn by many is that there
is now no reason to become a
nun since the image and
association is job-oriented.
Our life is centered on the
belief that the Risen Lord is a
person in our midst; we
profess an openness to the
Spirit which leads us to seek a
fullness of life in Christ. This
faith life in which we seek
God is intensified and
enlivened by silence and
solitude, by communal prayer
and by supportive love of one
another which culminates in
the Eucharist.
This basic thrust, one of
the essences of a religious
vocation, is not something
that can be observed by one’s
students or even by fellow
teachers. I could have a
sparkling personality and be
the most dynamic teacher
while my faith life and prayer
life were absolutely nil.
Conversely, I could possess a
deep and intense prayer life
and be an absolute dud as a
teacher or friend. Most
people have no opportunity
to share or even witness the
prayer life of religious.
I used to feel that a love
for the prayer life in
community was one of the
concepts that had to grow
with one’s vocation and that
usually it was not one of the
stronger motives which led a
person to religious life. Today
however, there is a growing
awareness and search on the
part of young men and
women for a truly viable
form of spirituality and
prayer. They are looking for a
lifestyle that proclaims that
there is more to life than
financial success and
advancement in a career.
For this reason many
communities have begun
programs in which an
interested person can live
within the community for a
period of time to observe at
first hand the life style and
form of prayer before making
any decision. In addition
some communities are
inaugurating a form of
community membership in
which a person shares in the
life and work of a community
for a few years without any
intention of making • it a
permanent commitment. The
one criterion St. Benedict
emphasizes is that the
candidate must truly seek
God. Many people possess
that qualification; maybe we
haven’t shown them where to
look.

For the first time
in 2 years,you dorii
have to wait in line
for an apartment
at Cross Creek.
With thousands of empty apartments all over Atlanta, the
fact that we've had a waiting list since October 1970 should
tell you something.
It should tell you that a lot of people have discovered
some very distinct advantages to living at Cross Creek. Like
our golf course with its own complete restaurant and lounge,
our four tennis courts, and our three pools.
And especially our location—in residential northwest
Atlanta, just 12 minutes from downtown. Prompt mainte
nance service, 24-hour security officers, a quiet atmosphere,
and beautiful landscaping are a few of the other things
Atlantans have been willing to wait for.
But right now you don't have to wait for any of them;
we're building 250 new apartments, and some of them are
already finished.
If you're interested, come take a look. Soon.
Because when they're gone, our waiting list is going to
be longer than ever.
