Mexico Bars Indian Relief Supplies
Catholic high school students in El Paso, Tex., help unload 10 carloads
of food and supplies donated by citizens of Lafayette, La., for relief of the
poverty-stricken Tarahumara Indians of Northern Mexico. The Mexican
government, however, denied reports that the Indians’ corn crop had failed
and that they were starving, and it refused to permit delivery of the relief
shipment. Government officials were reported as saying that to allow entry
of the supplies would imply Mexico could not take care of its own people.

Lift Up Your Hearts
Liturgical Commission Column
By the Rt. Rev. Msgr. J. William Hennel
OUR BISHOP,
OUR FATHER IH CHRIST
The Church in our Dio-
cese becomes most clearly
visible and evidently active
Sunday by Sunday as< the
members of our parishes
gather for the celebration
of Mass with their pastors,
who take our Bishop’s
place in their locality.
Nevertheless, "the pre-
eminent manifestation of
the Church consists in the
full active participation of
all God’s holy people. . .in
the same Eucharist. . .at
one altar, at which there
presides the Bishop sur-
rounded by his college of
priests and by his minis-
ters” (Constitution on the
Sacred Liturgy, Article 41).
Therefore "the liturgical
life of the parish and its
relationship to the Bishop
must be fostered theoreti-
cally and practically among
the faithful and clergy”
(Article 42).
Every gathering of the
faithful in their parish
church should be a re-
minder of this. The local
parish cannot exist with-
out the Bishop. He
brings the parish into
existence when he as-
signs a definite part of
the Incarnate Word Con-
vent.
The Theresians, a lay
organization, was found-
ed in the early 1960s,
and has for its purpose
the promotion of voca-
tions to the sisterhood.
Its phenomenal growth
throughout the country in
such a few years speaks
well for the important
place such a movement
plays in the Church today.
The local group holds a-
luncheon meeting the first
Tuesday of each month.
The guest speaker is usu-
ally a Sister, a representa-
tive of a different order
each time.
The understanding of the
sisterhoods who work in
the diocese will aid the
Theresians in their efforts
to participate in the voca-
tion apostolate. Financial
projects do not fall within
the sphere of Theresian
activity.
MEMBERSHIP in the
Theresians of Corpus
Christi now numbers
around 18. Women willing
to devote themselves to
this work for the Church
may apply for membership.

God’s holy people to the
care of a particular
priest, and he keeps it in
existence by ordaining
and assigning to it new
priests to replace the
old.
He makes the parish truly
Catholic by its union
through him with the
Church spread throughout
the world.
At the end of the first
prayer of the Canon we
profess that we celebrate
each Mass "together
with. . .our Holy Father,
and our Bishop, and all
faithful guardians of the
Catholic and Apostolic
faith.” (These last are di-
ocesan Bishops in commu-
nion with the Pope and
with each other as mem-
bers of the episcopal college.)
EVERYTHING we do in
our parishes, we do in
dependence on our Bishop.
A priest is able to per-
form the acts of a priest
because a Bishop laid his
hands on his head and
passed along to him the
powers of the priesthood,
which the Bishop possesses
in their fullness.
When a priest baptizes,
the oils he used for the
consecration of the baptis-
mal water and with which
he anoints the catechumen
were blessed by the whole
diocese by a Bishop on the
preceding Holy Thursday.
Likewise, when he
strengthens a sick person
with the Sacrament of the
•Anointing of the Sick, a
priest can do this only be-
cause a Bishop consecrated
the Oil of the Sick for him.
When he takes away
sins in the Sacrament of
Penance, a priest does
so in virtue of jurisdic-
tion ("faculties”) given
him by the Bishop of the
diocese.
And when he witnesses a
marriage in the name of
God and of the Church, he
does so because the Bishop
has appointed him (or the
priest who delegated him)
to serve God’s people in
the parish in which the
wedding takes place.
Even the crucifix on the
altar at which Mass is
celebrated is a reminder of
the link between that altar
and the Bishop of the dio-
cese.
Originally that crucifix
was the processional cross
carried before the Bishop
as he came solemnly into
Church and placed against
the altar as the bishop
celebrated the Liturgy.
WITH GOOD REASON
does the Constitution on
the Sacred Liturgy lay
such stress on the unique
position a Bishop holds in
his diocese "the high priest
of his flock, from whom
the life in Christ of his
faithful is in some way de-
rived on whom it is*in
some way dependent” (Ar-
ticle 41).
Circumstances, however,
make us think of him
principally as the Church’s
chief administrative officer
in a particular area. This
is really a great loss to us.
Thinking of our Bishop
in this way causes us to
lose something of our
feeling for him as our fa-
ther in Christ.
It makes us think of his
desk in the Chancery rath-
er than the altar in his
Cathedral as the table at
which he presides over the
family of God’s children. It
leads us to think of
Christ’s Church more as an
efficiently run organization
than as a gathering in love
of God’s holy people.
It does much to play
down the personal rela-
tionships which are so im-
portant if we are to see
Christ’s Church as the
Liturgy intends that we
should.
We shall recover our
perspective only when
we see our Bishop in
this personal way, as
our father in Christ, not
as the local administra-
tive functionary of a
world-wide organization.
We shall do this by
taking part in the litur-
gical life of our parish
with full consciousness
of our relationship to
our Bishop in everything
we do.
Bishop Attends
Ecumenical Unit
Holds Meeting
Corpus Christi — The Ecumenical Commission of the
Diocese of Corpus appointed by Bishop Drury met at
Incarnate Word academy last week under its chairman,
Mr. Dan Meaney. Bishop Drury also attended the meet-
ing which discussed the first draft of diocesan directives
on ecumenism recently assembled by a sub-committee.
His Excellency expressed satisfaction with the first
draft, and suggested some amendments. Interest in dir-
ectives has been expressed by Msgr. Baum of the Bish-
op’s Commission on Ecumenism, Washington, D.C.
The diocesan commission will discuss what is expected
to be the final version of the directives at the next meet-
ing, to be held in November.
Contest in Elocution
Is Held at Seminary
Corpus Christi — On
Sunday night, Oct. 16 the
faculty and student body of

inary announced the open-
ing of the year’s speech

tation of the junior-sopho-
more elocution contest, un-
der the supervision of Fa-
ther Walsh. S.J., director

ties.

ists were finalists chosen

own interpretation of some
poetic, dramatic, or comical
work that he himself se-
lected and rehearsed for
public enjoyment.

Smith, Michael Wilson,
Chester Malins, Patrick
Schniederjan, and Ronald

New Project
Planned by
Seminarians
Corpus Christi — The
students of Corpus Christi
Minor seminary have tak-
en on a new project for
their apostolate.
Due to the fullness of
the seminary schedule, ac-
tive work in the apostolate
is limited. This year, how-
ever, a way has been found
to do more work for God
without leaving the con-
fines of the seminary.
Each seminarian has
selected the name of a
priest from his diocese
for whom he will offer a
total of one hour each
week of his prayers,
sacrifices, and daily life
that his chosen priest
might succeed in his ac-
tive ministry.
The seminarians hope
that these acts will lead to
the development of many
lasting friendships.
LOGIC (from) The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis;
and third place, Patrick
Cass, Oral Punctuation.
The masters of ceremonies
were Joseph Eicher and
Jerry Barta.
Bishop Thomas Drury, as
Father of the seminary,
presented the awards and
congratulated the contes-
tants.
Corpus Christi minor
seminary speech activities
are open to the public and
include, in addition to the
junior-sophomore elocution
contest, a junior-senior
play, a college elocution
contest, and a coilege play.
