A “New Fire Of Pentecost” Is Burning For Peace
NC and Staff Reports
WASHINGTON --
Benedictine Sister Joan
Chittister called on
participants at a peace
demonstration May 30 to
be turned into “the new
fire of Pentecost” for the
nuclear disarmament
cause.
Sister Chittister,
prioress of the Sisters of
St. Benedict in Erie, Pa.
addressed participants at
the demonstration
sponsored by the
Leadership Conference of
Women Religious in
Lafayette Park in front of
the White House. LCWR
leaders said nearly 5,000
people took part.
A delegation of nuns
carried a large globe full of
petitions representing
128,000 women Religious
to the White House gate,
but no administration
official met them. They
left red roses at the gate,
then delivered the globe to
the White House
mailroom.
Joining the LCWR
demonstration were
members of the National
Assembly of Women
Religious and the National
Black Sisters Conference.
The Sojourners Fellowship
and members of several
Washington area churches
also participated in the
prayer service in
conjunction with the
observation of “Peace
Pentecost-Peace Sabbath.”
Jirri Wallis, editor of
Sojourners Magazine, told
the Washington
participants, “We’re not
alone.” He said 10,000
churches around the
country were taking part
in the “Peace Pentecost”
to show that “the spirit of
God is stronger than the
spirit of war.”
At St. Anthony’s
Church in Atlanta, 200
people gathered to
celebrate a “Peace
Pentecost,” organized by
the Atlanta Conference of
Sisters.
The prayer service
included readings from the
scriptures and a wide
variety of sources.
Scriptural reflections were
presented by Sister
Lorraine Masucci of the
Archdiocesan Office of
Religious Education and
Father Tom Fidelis, OCSO
of the Monastery of the
Holy Spirit in Conyers. A
candlelight procession, in
which participants lit
individual candles from
the fire of the Paschal
candle on the altar,
concluded the service.
Sister Suzanne Giro,
pastoral associate at St.
Anthony’s, indicated that
the purpose of the
gathering was to “raise
(our) consciousness about
alternatives to nuclear
armament and
involvement,” and
encourage people “to do
something” about the
arms race.
Sister Chittister warned
participants that “we must
not stand like Samson.”
She called the blinded
giant who brought down
the temple on both
himself and his enemies an
example of “power and
blindness without strength
and vision.
“The message of
Pentecost is that we can
and must realize from
Samson that nothing is
more dangerous than a
frustrated giant who fears
the wrong thing.”
She told the applauding
Religious that to fight the
threat of nuclear
distraction, “we can arm
ourselves with piety,
knowledge and fear of our
God to save the world
from ‘machomania.’”
By taking money away
from the poor and arts and
using it to stockpile
weapons in a world that is
materially and morally
underprivileged, “we have
chosen to be Sparta rather
than Athens,” Sister
Chittister said.
Msgr. Geno Baroni told
the group that he was
conveying the thanks of
Archbishop James A.
Hickey of Washington for
their “witness and
example.”
Msgr. Baroni, special
assistant for community
affairs of the Washington
Archdiocese and former
assistant secretary of
Housing and Urban
Development, said he
believes “the Spirit is
producing new gifts” and
that “the Holy Spirit is in
Washington.”
He called the peace
demonstration “the most
important sign” he had
seen in his 23 years in
Washington.
A Family
Spirituality
WASHINGTON (NC) -
The monastic tradition,
exemplified in the
sixth-century Rule of St.
Benedict, provides a model
for modem family life,
Dolores R. Leckey,
executive director of the
U.S. bishops’ Committee
on the Laity, states in a
new book.
In her work “The
Ordinary Way,” subtitled
“A Family Spirituality,”
Mrs. Leckey suggests that
monasticism offered much
to countless persons who
sought to carry out God’s
will while living together
in harmony. In many ways
family life has the same
goal and it too can be
enriched by the insights
found in monastic
spirituality, Mrs. Leckey
says.
Just as monasteries are
communities of people, so
are families, she says. Her
book applies nine elements
of monastic structure to
family life. The nine
elements are intimacy,
equality, authority,
prayer, solitude, play,
study, stability and
hospitality.
The book deals with
traditional two-parent
families, single-parent
families and “alternative
families” of individuals
bound together.
“It is clear to me that to
speak with any degree of
authenticity about
Christian families in
today’s world, one must
be aware of the range of
possibilities for forming
families, and the variety of
household . communities
that call themselves
‘family,’” Mrs. Leckey
said. “It is important to
remember that no matter
how unusual a family’s
shape may be, grace is
there, in all the odd spaces
and details that make up
that family’s life.”
Dolores Leckey’s book,
“The Ordinary Way,” is
published at $7.95 a copy
by Crossroads Publishing
Co., New York.
