Pope Benedict XVI talks with former papal butler Paolo Gabriele in a private audi- Father Kenneth ence at the Vatican Dec. 22. After the meeting, Gabriele was freed from prison Doyle and returned to his family, the Vatican said. (CNS photo/L’Osservatore Romano via Reuters) QUESTION CORNER He didn’t pronounce them ‘man and wife’ I recently attended the wedding of a young man and his bride who are both practicing Catholics. At the end of the ceremony, the con- Q gregation was confused when the priest (newly ordained) did not pronounce the couple as “man and wife” and introduced them as such to the attendees. It was all very awkward, and no one seemed to know what to do. Finally, the organist began the recessional music and the bride and groom exited. When asked later why he did not introduce the couple, the priest said that it was not a part of the marriage rite of the church. Wed- dings should be such joyous occasions, but this put a damper on it.

Father John Catoir SPIRITUALITY FOR TODAY Spiritualife You can’t lose beauty that rests in God veryone wants to be thought of as beautiful or handsome. The multibillion-dollar cosmetic in- dustry, which services men and Ewomen, attests to that fact. But what is true beauty? The answer is simple and profound. We all know that there are people in the world with pretty faces who manage to make themselves ugly by the way they treat others. All of the cos- meticians in the world cannot transform a self- centered shrew into a beautiful person. On the other hand, many plain women are indeed beautiful because they have something called inner beauty. This light transforms them into admirable and alluring women. Many of them do not realize how truly beautiful they are. There is outer beauty and inner beauty. Outer beauty is skin-deep. It can be improved with some well-applied cosmetics, all of which will wash off, but cosmetics can never be a substitute for inner beauty. Maintaining that inner light is a spiritual matter. Those who aspire to radiate true beauty need to pay more attention to God’s presence within them. The spirit of love is eternal beauty. Father Ron The importance of cultivating a deeper spiritual- ity cannot be overestimated. Rolheiser One of the most admired American women, during her lifetime and beyond, was Eleanor Roosevelt.
