Reflexiones de
Una Cursillista
El ultimo fin de semana
de mayo se llevo a cabo el
Cursillo No. 7 de mjueres
aqui en Atlanta. Habian 32
eandidatas y algunas 25
senoras y senoritas de la
comunidad hispana de
Atlanta compartiendo esta
experiencia. Yo tambien
participe pero en una
forma diferente a mi
participacion en otros
cursillos.
Reflexiono sobre el
trabajo de preparacion que
hizo el equipo y recuerdo
las palabras de Jesus
‘‘Ustedes me 11am an
Maestro y Senor, y con
razon, porque lo soy. Pues
si yo les he lavado los pies,
tambien ustedes seben
lavarse los pies los unos a
los otros ” En el cursillo vi
tal servieio. Vi personas
tan preocupadas por el
bien de las demas que no
les importaba su propio
cansancio. Es la
experiencia de cada fin de
semana de Cursillo. Los
que vamos a servir a los
demas encontramos la
g r a cia diyin a t an
abundante que el servieio a
los demas es el modo mas
natural de expresar esta
graeia tan grande.
Reflexiono sobre el
trabajo de los directores
espirituales, Comprendo
una vez mas lo que dijo
Jesus a sus discipulos: “No
me eligieron ustedes a mi.
Fui yo quien los elegi a
ustedes y los destine a que
se pongan en camino y den
fruto, y un fruto que
dure.” Personas tan llenas
de amor y de deseo de
compartir ese amor que de
verdad dejan que el
Espiritu Santo los use. Es
una experiencia de
humildad - una experiencia
que le ensene a uno otra
vez que el Senor tiene sus

FATHER CHRIS STARR
propositos y tenemos que
estar alertos para saber su
camino y su voluntad. Los
sacerdotes y las hermanas
que trabajamos en el fin de
semana como guias
espirituales venimos tan
enriquecidos que se sabe
quien es el DIRECTOR de
verdad.
Reflexiono sobre las
personas que vienen a un
cursillo. Solteros, casados,
viudos, divorciados, y
religiosos y sacerdotes.
Como la red que el
pescador tira que recoge
cada clase de pez sin
excluir a ninguna.
Reflexiono sobre la graeia
de Dios que es tan
personal, tan individual - a
cada persona segun su
necesidad. Me Ileno de
amor otra vez mas en
pensar en un Dios tan
amoroso que puede prestar
atencion a las idiosin-
crasias de cada uno de su
pueblo. Cada persona que
vienen a un fin de semana
de Cursillo sale diferente
en una forma v sale igual
por otra parte. Salimos
diferentes porque el Senor
toca a nuestros corazones
v nos renueva. Pero somos
iguales porque El nos hizo
y no nos quiere diferentes
- solo ronovados.
Y por ultimo, cuando
pienso en la experiencia de
un Cursillo pienso siempre
en la experiencia de ser
IGLESIA. En el fin de
semana se ve la iglesia
trabajando. Es el cuerpo
total de Cristo, cada uno
de sus miembros
compenetrando,
ayudando, creciendo, y
amando. Es la experiencia
de un cuerpo vital, fuerte,
deseoso de superar los
obstaculos y confiado en
recibir el apoyo necesario
para haeerlo.

U.S. Indian Beatified
BY NANCY FRAZIER
VATICAN CITY (NC)
- Nearly 20 years ago, in
November 1960, Vatican
officials predicted that the
b eatification process for
Kateri Tekakwitha would
be completed within a
year.
It took quite a bit
longer than that, but on
June 22 at St. Peter’s
Basilica Pope John Paul II
will formally declare the
“Lily of the Mohawks,” a
17th-century American
Indian, “blessed.”
The 9:30 a.m. (3:30
a.m. EDI’) beatification
ceremony promises to be a
colorful affair, with the
participation of at least
300 American Indians,
many in traditional dress.
Jesuit Father Paul
Molinari, postulator of the
Tekakwitha cause for
beatification and eventual
canonization, said the
exact number of
participants in the
ceremony could not be
predicted because Pope
John Paul will also beatify
four early missionaries to
the Americas at the same
time.
But the interest of
American Indians and of
U.S. Catholics in general
will be centered on
Tekakwitha, who defied
members of her tribe by
living the life of a
Christian virgin despite
attempts to force her into
marriage.
Born in what is now
Auriesville, N.Y., to a
Mohawk father and a
Christian Algonquin
mother in 1656, she was
orphaned at the age of
four and went to live with
a pagan uncle.
She accepted
Christianity when she was
about 11, after three
French missionaries spent
several days at her uncle’s
lodge. Following her
baptism in 1674 by Jesuit
Father Jacques de
Lamberville, she was
threatened with death
unless she returned to the
cult of the tribal gods.
Tekakwitha died in
1680 at Caughnawaga,
Quebec, at the age of 24.
At the request of the
councils of Quebec and
Baltimore, her cause for
canonization was
introduced at the Vatican
in May 1939.
On Jan. 3, 1943, the
young Indian woman
became the first native of
what is now the United

States to be declared a
“venerable servant of
God.”
Two alleged miracles
wrought through the
intercession of Kateri
Tekakwitha were
submitted in the 1950s to
the Sacred Congregation
of Rites, the former
Vatican agency charged
with studying and judging
cases of sanctity.
One miracle was
accepted but the other
rejected, and there the
Tekakwitha beatification
process bogged down for
many years.
It was not until
recently that the Vatican
agreed to suspend the
normal requirement of
two certified miracles for
the beatifications of
Tekakwitha and the four
others.
The church’s
declaration of the five as
blessed will be based “not
on the specific study of
one or two spectacular
events but only on the
well established belief that
miracles have been
obtained through their
intercession,” a Rome
source said.
In these cases, the
source said, the church “is
accepting their reputation
among the people of God
as a deciding factor in
their being honored.”
BY JAMES TARBOX
“I really want to be a
parish priest.”
Chris Starr’s hopes
became reality on June 7
when he was ordained to
the priesthood by
Archbishop Thomas
Donnellan in the Cathedral
of Christ the King and
assigned to downtown
Atlanta’s Sacred Heart
parish.
A native of Atlanta,
Father Chris grew up in
the Cathedral parish and
graduated from Atlanta’s
Dykes High School. After
spending a couple of years
at Georgia State
University, he decided that
he would enter the
seminary.
“I went to Saint Mary’s
in Baltimore,” Father
Starr said, “I spent six
years at Saint Mary’s,
though I received my
degree from Saint Vincent
de Paul Seminary in
Boynton Beach, Florida.”
After years of seminary
study the transition to
parish life and pace is
something of a change.
“No, I haven’t come
down yet (from the
emotional high of
ordination) not at all,”
laughed Father Starr, “I’m
still soaring from it.”
Sacred Heart parish,
where the new curate is
stationed, is a parish like
no other in the
Archdiocese of Atlanta. In
the words of Father
Thomas Roshetko “We get
all types, being at the
crossroads of the city.”
“One of the things that
surprised me about Sacred
Heart,” Father Starr said,
“was the fact that it was
an active parish. I thought
that, being at a downtown
location, Sacred Heart
would be a downtown
church, drawing people
from all over the city. I
was amazed to see that it
Pope
To Brazil
VATICAN CITY (NC)
- Pope John Paul II’s trip
to Brazil this summer will
be the longest and perhaps
most arduous yet in his
globe-trotting pontificate.
An outline of the trip
released by the Vatican
Press Office June 14
confirmed that the trip
will be the longest, 13
days from his departure
from Rome June 30 until
his return July 12.
The Vatican itinerary
has the pope traveling
through the southern part
of Brazil on the first half
of the trip and then to the
major cities in the north.
The pope will visit 13
cities in the 12 days he
remains in Brazil.

is an active, vital parish
that has a real cross
section of people, with full
neighborhoods.”
Drawing from the
Virginia-Highlands area,

parish that has such a wide

area makes special

entered ever made it to
ordination,” Father Starr
reflected. “It wasn’t a
good time in seminaries.
There was a lot of doubt, a
lot of questioning going on
about the proper role the
seminary should play. In
some ways I think it is
easier for young men to
enter the seminary and
reach ordination today
than it was when I first
made a decision to go.”
As Father Chris Starr
Father Chris Starr
“I am amazed at the
number of confessions I
have heard,” Father Starr
said. “At Sacred Heart we
hear confessions before
every Mass; it’s a quick
application of the moral
theology that the seminary
spent years going over.”
When speaking of the
seminary Father Starr
can’t hide the optimism
that he feels toward the
seminary of today as
opposed to seminaries of
the last ten years.
“So few of us that
will tell you the decision
to be a priest is never a
totally smooth one.
Doubt, indecision and
worry all assail the
seminarian as he moves
toward ordination. Now
that he has reached that
mark Father Chris Starr is
happily looking forward to
service with the people of
the Archdiocese.
“Being a parish priest is
what I really want to do. I
am perfectly happy here,
as a priest, in the Sacred
Heart parish.”
SISTER CLAIRE FITZGERALD, Provincial
of the Wilton, Connecticut Province of the School
Sisters of Notre Dame, recently addressed a
meeting of the Atlanta Conference of Women
Religious. The two day seminar was held at the
Village of Saint Joseph and enabled participants
to study such topics as the historical perspective
of women religious.
