and disciples continues to be the Church’s mission. The human and spiritual needs of peoples beyond our borders call us to the urgency of mission. Mission always expresses a concern for the life of others. Moved by the Spirit, we ardently desire that our brothers and sisters have life, and in abundance, and that they be saved by faith in Christ through the grace of God. This is our prayer in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Reaching out to the whole person Often those who have not heard the Gospel are doubly poor, doubly hungry,doubly oppressed. They are materially poor, lacking possessions; they are spiritually poor, lacking that hope which springs from the knowledge and love of Christ. Their hunger is not only for bread and rice, but also for the word that gives meaning to their existence. They are oppressed not only by social injustice but also by the sin at its root. They must experience the redemption not only of their souls but also of their whole bodily existence, not only in a world to come but also beginning here on earth. They must participate in the mystery of Christ not passively or minimally but rather as fully as possible, with intelligence, freedom and a lively sense of responsibility. Planting in holy ground: Mission is characterized not by- power and the need to dominate, but by a deep concern for the salvation of others and a profound respect for the ways they have already searched for and experienced God. The ground in which we are called to plant the Gospel is holy ground, for before our arrival God has already visited the people He knows and loves. In this ground, sown with the seeds of God’s word, a local Church is bom, a Church that expresses its vitality in the language of its own culture, a Church also called to be missionary beyopd its own borders. Common elements: There are, it is true, expressions of faith and morals in the Scriptures that are meaningful in every cultural milieu. The Lord’s Prayer, the Beatitudes, the commandments, the story of Jesus and the sacraments all tend to bond human beings together in one faith and one Church. Cultural differences remain significantly important, however. Mission is not coercive: Jesus’ call to discipleship was a free invitation. In the same way, the Church does not coerce others to accept the Gospel and join her ranks. Mission presupposes love for those being evangelized and, as Paul V I said, “ the first sign of this love is respect for the religious and spiritual situation of those being evangelized.’’ ’The Church extends our invitation well, witnessing in the love of God and the image of Christ, and with the fire of the Holy Spirit, we have fulfilled Christ's mandate. Acceptance of the Gospel and conversion to Christ is the working of God’s grace, a mystery beyond comprehension which we accept in faith. Mission and dialogue The way we extend Christ’s free invitation to others differs according to local circumstances. The context of mission in Japan or India, for example, is vastly different from that in Bolivia or the Philippines. The recent document on dialogue and mission of the Vatican Secretariat for Non-Christians emphasizes the role of dialogue with adherents to other great religions. While dialogue takes many forms, “ before all else, dialogue is a manner of acting, an attitude and a spirit which guides one’s conduct. It implies concern, respect and hospitality toward the other. It leaves room for the other person’ s identity, modes of expression and values. The Church’s serious about responding to alt genuine human needs. Any sense of mission not permeated by such a dialogical spirit would to against the demands of true humanity and against the teachings of the Gospel.” challenge young people to consider following Christ as misunderstandmg or indifference from those who lack your missionaries.

Columbus boycott Catholic priests and lay leaders from a pre­ dominantly Indian region of eastern Mexico have asked fellow Catholics not to celebrate the upcoming 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. The group - from seven parishes in the Zongolica Mountains, about 200 miles southeast of Mexico City - said the Church should have a “ change of attitude” regarding the celebrations because “the conquest and the preaching of a new social system practically de­ stroyed the life and culture of the indigenous peoples” of the New World. In 1992, the governments of Spain, the United States and several Latin American countries will com­ memorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ discov­ ery of America.

Peruvian Father Gustavo Gutierrez, considered a leading exponent of liberation theology, said the Vati­ can has the “duty and the right” to express reserva­ tions or criticisms regarding his branch of theology. Father Gutierrez said in an interview with Vatican Radio that the Vatican’s recent documents and statements have been “ useful” and have helped lib­ eration theologians correct some terms that were not quite accurate. In 1984, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith warned about dangers of liberation theology in a lengthy instruction to Catholics, "rwo years later, it issued another instruction stressing that liberation theology must have a spiritual base. “ I think that those who are responsible for the Church’s magisterium have the duty and the right to formulate these observations,” Father Gutierrez said. “ We ought to pay attention to them.” Negotiations deadlocked Most people have a preconceived Negotiations between the Vatican and Czechoslo­ vakia over naming bishops in the communist country idea about retirement homes. are deadlocked because Czechoslovakian authorities want candi^tes who are members of a pro- They picture a place with no privacy.

Yet within this parable of the marriage feast another parable is added-tee man without the wedding garment. The marriage feast is a frequent biblical image of the kingdom of God. The servants who were sent more than once are the prophets. It is clear that those invited refuse to make light of the invitation. They are obviously then responsible for not attending the weeding. In Jesus’ day, to repeat the invitation at the time of the banquet was a special courtesy practiced by the upper classes in Jerusalem. We see a note of joy in the invitation in verse 4 and that makes the refusal and shameful treatment of servants even more reprehensible. It may seem unrealistic to us that all should refuse such an invitation but one popular story of Jesus’ day used precisely such a real-life event to convey a teaching. Jesus uses and reinterprets and expands the stories in pofwlar vogue in His day. We might also consider the king’s response in verse 7 excessive and unrealistic unless we saw how profound such a refusal was among those cultures. ’The invitation to search out all in the streets and invite as many “as you can” reflects the missionary activity of the early Church among the Gentiles. But that missionary activity of the Church gathering the “ good and bad,’’namely, that the conduct of men who were called was of no importance. The problem of misunderstanding did not exist for Jesus since His critics were the hearers of the parable. In its missionary activity the CJhurch was continually Jama* Baca/DCR Photo confronted with the danger that the Gospel of the free Rest stop grace of God might be misinterpreted as freeing the baptized from their moral responsibilities.

Outdoor program Students in the fifth and eighth grade classes at Christ the King School in Denver began the current school year by spending two and a half days in a special outdoor educational program at the YMCA Camp of the Rockies at Snow Mountain, near Granby. The outdoor program was designed to foster attitudes of cooperation, trust and unity among students. In this fall’s program, students completed a "ropes” course aimed at increasing both their physical agility and self-confidence, rose at dawn for a sunrise hike and gathered together at night for a "star 1 gaze." Other activities included an orienteering course and a study of local beaver habitats. In the photo at right are eighth graders.

M The Catholic Philosophy of life has always contained a realistic attitude toward death. The Catholic knows that one of his most important tasks in life is to prepare v\ell for death. A whole lifetime is spent preparing for that moment when we will enter into eternity. In addition to this absolutely essential process of spiritual preparation, there are some important practical details which must be arranged.
