1- Pag* 10 — TIm Daiivar Catttollc i r 3,1000 9» The Question Box ■ ■'f- I Y ahweh I By Msgr. Raymond Bosler 0. Please explain Yahweh and Jehovah and where the terms are found, if at all, in the Bible. A. According to the book of Exodus, Yahweh was the name God gave himself when Moses asked how he should call the one w’ho sent him. "God replied. 1 am who am. Then he added. This is what you shall tell the Israelites. 1 am sent me to you "' (Exodus 3:14l. i Some English translations have: "1 am who I am. This reflects an interpretation of the name that holds that God is nameless in the sense that man can never find a name worthy of God. The more traditional interpretation is that "I am. " or in the third person. "He is." implies the unlimited existence of God, and thus medieval theologians found that philosophers who described God as the supreme being were in agreement with Scripture. Many scholars today have concluded that Yahweh is the first word of the entire name "He brings into being whatever comes into being, " which would designate God as creator. Jehovah is a hybrid word that came about through a misunderstanding. The Israelites,out of awe for God. did The mails arc always clogged at ('hristmas time. not pronounce the word Yahweh but read instead "Adonai." meaning Lord. Ancient Hebrew script did not print vowels but only consonants.so that the readers saw only YHWH. When vowels were added by printing dots Talks With Parents under the consonants, the vowels for Adonai, a-o-a, were used since that was the word pronounced. Earlier translators from Hebrew, not aware of this added the Adonai vowels to YHWH and got Yahowa, which in Christmas Cards Defense English became Jehovah.

The prodigal his actions, Jesus revealed that love is present in of grace, every sin. In this analogy there is less son, having wasted the property he received from the world in which we live—an effective love, emphasis than in the prophetic tradition on the his father, deserves—after his return— to earn a love that addresses itself to man and embraces unfaithfulness of the whole pteople of Israel, his living by working in his father’s house as everything that makes up his humanity.

The prodigal son is aware of this and it is precisely this awareness that shows him clearly the dignity which he has lost and which ■* ^ makes him honestly evaluate the position that he could still expect in his father’s house. i Human Dignity This exact picture of the prodigal son’s state of mind enables us to understand exactly what the mercy of God consists in. There is no doubt that in this simple but penetrating analogy the figure of the father reveals to us God as Father. The conduct of the father in the parable and his whole behaviour, which manifests his internal attitude, enables us to rediscover the individual threads of the Old Testament vision of mercy in a synthesis which is totally new, full of simplicity and depth. The father of the prodigal son is faith­ ful to his fatherhood, faithful to the love that he had always lavished on his son. This fidelitv is ex- . pressed in the parable not only by his immediate readiness to welcome him home when he returns after having squandered his inheritance; it is l> expressed even more fully by that joy, that merry­ making for the squanderer after his return, merrymaking which is so generous that it pro- wokes the opposition and hatred of the elder r brother, who had never gone far away from his father and had never abandoned the home. “...The person who is The father’s fidelity to himself—a trait al­ the object of mercy does ready known by the Old Testament term hesed— not feel humiliated, but rather found again and is at the same time expressed in a manner par­ ‘restored to value.’ ...The ticularly charged with affection.

Nevertheless, the causes of this emotion are to be sought at a deeper level. Notice, the father is aware that a fundamental good has been saved: the good of his son’s hu­ manity. Although the son has squandered the inheritance, nevertheless his humanity is saved. Indeed, it has been, in a way, found again. The form of moral misery, to sin. When this happens, makes the prodigal .son begin to sec himself anti father’s words to the elder son reveal this; “It the person who is the object of mercy does not his actions in their full truth (this vision in was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this feel humiliated, but rather found again and truth is a genuine form of humility); on the your brother was dead and is alive; he was lost “restored to value”.

Our consist only in looking, however penetratingly very essence of fatherhood, in a way obliges the prejudices about mercy are mostly the result of and compassionately, at moral, physical or father to be concerned about his son’s dignity. appraising them only from the outside. At times material evil: mercy is manifested in its true This concern is the measure of his love, the love it happens that by following this method of and proper aspect when it restores to value, of which Saint Paul was to write: “Love is evaluation we see in mercy above all a relationship promotes and draws good from all the forms of patient and kind ... love does not insist on its of inequality between the one offering it and evil existing in the world and in man.

The experience of the past spoken of in the Encyclical Redemptor Hominis: 2 Cor 1 : 3. and of our own time demonstrates that justice alone is not enough, that it can even lead to the negation and destruction of itself, if that deeper power, which is love, is not allowed to shape human life in its various dimensions. It has been precisely historical experience that, amongs other things, has led to the formulation of the saying: summum ius, summa iniuria. This > statement does not detract from the value of justice and does not minimize the significance of the order that is based upon it; it only indicates, under another aspect, the need to draw from the powers of the spirit which condition the very order of justice, powers which are still more profound. The Church, having before her eyes the pic­ ture of the generation to which we belong, shares the uneasiness of so many of the people of our time. Moreover, one cannot fail to be worried by the decline of many fundamental values, which constitute an unquestionable good not only for Christian morality but simply for human morality, for moral culture: these values 0724404108 include respect for human life from the moment of conception, respect for marriage in its indis­ soluble unity, and respect for the stability of the family. Moral permissiveness strikes especially at this most sensitive sphere of life and society. Hand in hand with this go the crisis of truth in human relationships, lack of responsibility for “The technical means at the disposal of modern but also the possibility of a ‘peaceful’ subjugation of what one says, the purely utilitarian relationship society conceal within themselves not only the pos­ individuals, of environments of entire societies and sibility of self destruction through military conflict, of nations . . between individual and individual, the loss of a sense of the authentic common good and the ease with which this good is alienated. Finally, but it will be fitting to return once more to Put Mercy into Practice there is the “desacralization” that often turns this fundamental theme. into “dehumanization”: the individual and the It is precisely because sin exists in the world, Christians eyperience God's mercy but they must aiso practice it toward their neighbors.

Every good gift and ■■1-' every perfect gift is ftom above, coming down from the Father of Lights. . . ” Epistle of )ames 1:17 4 A; i - >

Sometimes we are vividly in touch with our thankfulness. We can see clearly how bounteous our A blessings are. At this Thanksgiving season w e begin to take the time to be thankful, truly thankful, < > > for all our gifts, for home and family and prosperity and peace. How appropriate, then, for us to return some of our bounty to its true source, to share some of our - 1 “ well-being with those who have less. In recognition of . - God's many gifts to us, we can give to others through the Office of Major Giving, -f ■ • There are many ways in which to give, suited to , J . individual lifestyles and financial circumstances.Many choose to give cash, which is instantly available to meet the pressing needs within the Archdiocese. Others choose to contribute through gifts of personal prop»erty or life insurance, via long term appreciated securities, or through gifts of real estate. The Office of Major -A Giving is available to assist you in designing your gift, making it advantageous both to the Church and to you. Remember that the Archdiocese is a charitable institution and that your gifts can reap substantial tax exemption and income reduction rewards for you, not only in the year of the gift, but often for up to five years thereafter. So Thanksgiving is the time to share our blessings and to arrange gifts to the Church so that the tax benefits can be realized in th ’e 1980 tax year. W hy not call Father Anderson and discuss how you can best show your gratitude for God's bounty . through His church

Dear Father Anderson: Please send me more information on how I may participate in the Major Giving Program. 1 understand that this inquiry carries no obligation on my part. I am particularly interested in:
