VATICAN POST OFFICE ~ The postage stamps
issued by the Vatican post office are among the most
beautiful in the world. Many internationally known
artists have been commissioned to work on the stamps.
The stamps are like a picture book history of the
Vatican, recalling Church councils, proclamations,
dogmas, saints, and religious works of art.
Vatican Radio Denounces
Korean Bishop’s Sentence
VATICAN CITY (NC) - The sentencing of South
Korean Bishop Daniel Tji Hak Soun on Won Ju to 15
years imprisonment on charges of contributing to a
subversive student organization has “given rise to deep
sorrow,” Vatican Radio stated Aug. 13.
The comment on Vatican
Radio was the only
immediately available Vatican
reaction following
announcement of the
sentence handed down by a
special military court in the
South Korean capital of
Seoul. The 52-year-old bishop
was found guilty of
contributing $2,700 to aid a
presumed student conspiracy
working to overthrow the
present government and
install a communist regime.
Vatican Radio, in reporting
the decision of the military
court, said the bishop is
currently under arrest in a
Seoul hospital where he is
recovering from diabetes.
The Vatican Radio report
noted:
“The emotion stirred up in
various religious areas because
of this event is testified to by
numerous prayer vigils held in
recent days by Catholic and
Protestant groups.”
Concluding its report,
Radio Vatican stated: “The
news of the sentencing of
Bishop Tji, for whose cause
the respect for human rights
has been invoked, has caused
wide repercussions in the
world and given rise to deep
sorrow.”

Bemardin of Cincinnati poses with the carriage which

POPE ASKS:
How Easy is the Christian Life?
CASTELGANDOLFO, Italy (NC) - Is the Christian life easy to live, Pope Paul VI
asked the thousands attending his weekly general audience August 14 at his summer
residence here.
The Pope responded to his own question from two approaches. Under the
theological aspect, it should be easy to live the Christian life, he said.
“Is not the Christian life perhaps our salvation? And is not salvation the immense
and freely given gift of God the Father, through Christ the Redeemer, in the Holy
Spirit?
“And does not this gift
itself include the grace to
correspond to the conditions
which are required for
salvation, that is, faith and
good works?”
Since Yes is the answer to
all these question, said Pope
Paul, then it should be easy
for Christians to repeat the
“sweet words of Jesus, ‘my
yoke is mild, my burden is
light.’”
On the other hand, he said,
the Christian life is not
always easy “when one
forgets the human
condition.”
This condition of mankind,
“because of original sin, is
New Altar Missal
Ready for Priests
WASHINGTON (NC) - The new sacramentary, or
altar missal for priests, is now available at Catholic
book stores across the country, it was announced here
by the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy.
The sacramentary, the result of 10 years of gradual
reform of the Mass, provides the official English
translation of the Latin Roman Missal published in
1970 by the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine
Worship. It contains all of the official prayer texts
needed by the priest celebrant at Mass.
Four American publishers
- Catholic Book Publishing
Co., The Liturgical Press,
Collins-World, and Our
Sunday Visitor - have
prepared editions of the
sacramentary. The content is
the same in all four, but there
are differences in design,
layout and binding.
Bishop Walter Curtis of
Bridgeport, Conn., chairman
of the Bishops’ Committee on
the Liturgy, said he is sure
priests will be happy with the
new book: “The format is
practical. The layout is
attractive. The content is
rich.”
The sacramentary may be
used immediately, and its use
is required as of December 1.
It does not change the order
of the Mass that has been in
effect since 1970, but it adds
a wider variety of alternative
prayers that were not
available to priests in earlier,
provisional books.
not normal. It is not whole or
perfect. . . and inhibits
the moral and spiritual
formation of the good, just
and pious person, be he a
child or a mature adult.”
The Pope explained that
original sin makes it difficult
for man to live an ascetic life,
which is the hallmark of a
Christian.
The Pope defined the
ascetic life as “the difficult
and persevering exericse of
that dominion of self which
put brakes on the
spontaneous and unordered
inclinations to live by instinct
and passion... It is the
effort toward personal
perfection, which for us
believers, must be conceived
according to the faith.”
Quoting from St. Paul, the
Pope declared: “The
followers of Jesus Christ have
crucified - that is,
mortified and dominated -
the flesh together with its
passions and its
concupiscence.”
How then can living the
Christian life be easy, Pope
Paul asked? “By means of a
sense of duty” he replied.
But how can duty be easy,
he then asked? “This then is
the secret of the Gospel: it
can be easy if duty coincides
with love, and especially with
supernatural life, which we
call charity ... and thus we
ourselves can conclude: the
Christian life, if it is not
always easy, can be always
happy.”
Volunteer Rehab Project for the Elderly Workers
Rehab Project for Elderly Begun
BY ERICA BOHM
On Saturday August 17, 18 volunteer workers began rehabilitation on the home
of Mr. and Mrs. William Brewer, an elderly couple living in Grant Park. Saturday’s
work is the culmination of several month’s time spent in securing funds and making
our arrangements for the Archdiocesan Rehab Project for the Elderly, sponsored by
the Urban Affairs Office of Catholic Social Services, Inc.
Work plans had been
drawn up by Dick Hotaling,
whose wife is a parishioner of
Our Lady of the Assumption.
Winston Leverett, a
parishioner at St. Paul of the
Cross, supervised the workers
at the site. Volunteers came
with tools in hand from many
of the metro-area parishes:
men, women, adults and
members of a youth group
from Holy Cross joined
enthusiastically in this
productive and fun-filled
effort.
The necessary repairs
included interior and exterior
painting, fixing the commode
and rotted flooring, pulling
down the ceiling and
replacing it with sheet rock,
and repairing the roof on the
front porch.
The Brewer’s are
representative of a large
number of elderly people
living on small, fixed incomes
that do not allow for the
great expense involved in
hiring contractors to do home
repairs. Once a City Housing
Inspector has determined that
a home is in need of repair,
the owner is given a limited
amount of time to comply.
If the owner is not able to
have the repairs made, he or
she is called before the
Housing Appeals Board. This
body would request again
that the home be brought up
to City Code standards, but
could offer no real option for
a poor person (until the
existence of the Rehab
Project - and now, only for a
small number of poor
elderly).
The project funds are being
used to purchase materials,
the actual cost of which will
be repaid by the elderly
clients in no-interest monthly
installments of a moderate
amount, so that the funds
will be replenished, allowing
for the continuation of the
Project. The Raskob
Foundation for Catholic
Activities in Delaware has
agreed to match $15,000
raised locally for the Rehab
Project.
The Urban Affairs Office
has been able to secure
$10,000 in local funds; if
$5,000 more could be
obtained, Raskob would
match that amount, bringing
the total to $30,000.
Meanwhile, anybody able to
donate the following, even in
small quantities, should
please call the Urban Affairs
Office at 881-1680: all tools,
cleaning products, hardware
items, lumber. A pick-up
truck and volunteer driver are
also needed to help remove
debris following work
projects.
