For ex.ample, the ninth to our friendship is the witness we give to one between the J ewis h and tho Catholic peoples. Our eleventh chapters of t he Epistle to the Romans anothe r and to the world through joint commu Catho lic roots are Jewish . The first Eucharistic presents Paul wrestling with lhis relationship with nity action.

'The great destroyer of life' Continued from page 3 The tiny nun was joined on stage by Catholic and Protestant clergy and musicians. She joined in prayer and song and delivered a 30-minute talk without notes. Her topics included Jove for the poor a nd the suffering. She denounced abortion as "the great destroyer of pe ace" because it destroys "a little image of God that was created for greater things." Event organizers made the scats closest to the stage available to the sick, the homeless. the elderly, AIDS patients and the developmentally disabled. Those people came forward o n foot, c rutches and wheelchairs to greet Mother Teresa on a platform in front of the stage. A little girl in a wheelchair held a bouquet of yellow roses to present to the nun. A homeless woman brought her 11 childre n from Sa maritan House, the archdiocesan she lter in down town Denver.

Ronny Ferrufino, 10, of Arvada greeted Mother T~resa. Robby suffers from cancer. His battle against the d isease inspired a Denver city council resolution and othe r honors. He traveled to President Bush's inauguration at the preside nt's invitation, but he said he especially looked forward to the opportunity to_ meet Mother Teresa. Was she what Robby expected'! "Smaller," Robby said matte r of factly. "She's a really nice lady. She to ld me to take this me dal. She said, 'I know you'll get bette r."' "She is bigger than life in spite of her size," said Robby's mother, Norma. "She's just wonderful." "The doctors cannot do anymore," said Ronny's father, Zee. "But God will do it through Mother Teresa. That's why he came." Sister Rosemary Keegan Loretto Sister Rosemary Keegan was first in line to meet Mother Teresa. Sister Keegan has been con fined to a wheelchair after nearly dying in a n a ttack by an intruder in he r Head Start omce severa l years ago. She was besieged by re porters a nd television crews as soon as she was wheeled down from the platform. "Yes I'm that nun," she told a television reporter. "I'm still alive and I'm still kicking." Sister Keegan said she felt "a great love" from Mother Teresa. " I gave her a rose," she said, "and I told her, 'Here's a rose from Rosey." ' During her talk, Mother Teresa held out hope for all people regardless of physical or emotional suf fering. Share Christ's suffering "When we look at the cross we know how much Tony Melendez Jeff Steinberg J esus loved us," she said. "He went through such terrible, te rrible suffe ring. Many he re have been chosen to share that suffering. That suffering of J esus on the cross. It is a gill to share the joy of loving aaand share in the passion of Chr isL" She recalled visiting a woma n and cancer patient who gripped both sides of the bed becasue of pa in. " I said to her , 'This is but the kiss of Jesus,'" Mother Teresa said. "'It is a sign that you have come so close to Jesus on the cross that He can kiss you. And that lady said to me, 'Mother Teresa, please tell J esus to stop kissing me.' She had had enough kisses." The nun began her talk by speaking oul against abortion.

Continued from page 5 "God created each of us for a very special pur pose," she said, " to love and be loved." "We should thank our parents for wanting us," she continued. "None of us would be he re if our mothers hadn't wanted us and had ab,orted us. For one sec ond let us stop and pray and tli1ank them." Mother Teresa said the ro,ot of peace is in the family. Love begins in family "Where does love begin?," s he asked. "In our own family. The family that prays together stays togethe r. And if you stay together, do you love one another as God loves each of us? Today, in the world ,t'1ere is so much suffering. Teach your c:hildren faith and you will see the joy and the love aind the peace. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith, and the fruit of faith is love, a nd the fruit of love is service, and the Mother Teresa greeted the sick, the elderly, the handicapped and the h om eless fruit of service is peace. Works of love are works of peace. Let us have the tendHr love of God in our families." "Holiness is not a luxury of the few," said Mother Teresa. " It is a simple duty." After Mother Teresa finished speaking, the crowd rose for a s tanding ovation. ]Mother Teresa bowed, clutched her rosary and r aised her hands to her forehead. Mother Teresa's day in Colorado began when she arrived by private jet from San Francisco with rep resentatives of the co-sponso1rs of "Celebrate Life" With Mother Teresa - the D,enver archdiocese and Citizens for Responsible Government, a pro-life or ganization. She was greeted by Gov. R oy Romer, Archbishop Stafford a nd Bishop Charles Chaput of Rapid City, S. Dak. After arriving at McNichols Arena, she appeared at a press conference with Gov. Romer and Archbishop Stafford. Peace needed "We have never needed peace so much as today," the woman many call "a living saint" told reporters as she previewed some of th.e concerns she would raise in he r speech, includiing abortion, care for AIDS patients and the ;;ick and the poor. Before appearing at the prayer service, she re quested time alone in a small room to meditate and pray before a monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament In her speech, she said that since her order intro duced the practice of daily adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, their "love for Jesus" has grown as has their "Jove for each other and the poor." " We have more compassion," she said. Mother ?,'eresa added that she believes the practice has also increased vocations to the Missiona ries of Charity. Following her appea rance at McNichols, Mother Teresa traveled to Boulder ito visit St. Walburga's Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Choir p,erformed Abbey, home to cloistered Bemedictine contemplative nuns. She left the De nver-area Saturday evening to open a new house in Edmonton, Canada. People attending "Celebrate Life with Mother Teresa" were asked to donate canned food to be distributed to the poor thro,ugh shelte rs and food banks across the state. Organizers estimate at least 20 tons of food were donated.

"It hasn't dried up or blow n away yet That's all I can say," said Jim Lueck as; he ~ut away a half-foot high stalk of wheat to show the archbishop a tiny wheat grain. "And to bring that out you need rain," said Arch bishop Stafford as he crouiched in the wind-swept field. "I don't know how much 11 onger we can go without it affecting the yield," said Lueck. "We need mois ture."

Jim Lueck and his son Nicholas show Archbishop Stafford the effects of the drought on their new wheat crop. Archbishop Stafford was making his third annual visit to rural areas of the archdiocese on May 15 in observance of the feast day of St Isidore - an 11th century Spanish farmer and patron saint of farme rs. Father Clement planned the archbishop's fact finding tour of five fa rms with nea r military preci sion and a carefully marked! map from the local fire deparmenl The priest organized a car caravan and briefed drivers at Steve and Pearly Breidenbach's farm. Some of the local drivers carried walkie talkies. "The Lueck place," said one man as he looked at the map. "That's a whoop and a holle r out. That's a few wagon tracks down the r·oad." On this trip, Archbishop Stafford r eturned to the farms of northeastern plains that inspired his first pastoral letter as shepherd of the church of Denver in January 1987 - "The Cri.sis of Rural Colorado" - a plea for the plight of the family farmer in the economically depressed area of the state.

"Snowpack or rain is like money in the bank," said Father Clement This year farmers have little "in the bank." Archbishop Stafford recei•ved a lesson in irrigating fi elds on Matt Drietz's fa'rm in the northeastern plains. .

"After that ," he adde d, "things will get worse." The family fa rme r has plowed two whe at fi e lds unde r because the re wasn 't e nough water to support them. " He said it's going to get a little rough," Arch bish op Sta fford said later. F ath er Clement explaine d that Drietz and others will stand a better chance by using the ir water allotment to increase the chances for o ne crop during a drought rathe r than d iminish it over several crops. On his second stop on the 350 acre Drietz farm, the Archbishop learne d to drive a large tractor,ti!ling under weeds on a dusty field. The weeds were rob bing precious moisture from the soil. "A lot of times city folks drive by and think an enclosed cab is a luxury," said Father Clement, " but a you'd be surprised by the number of farmers who don't smoke and breath this clean air who have emphysema just from breathing the dust kicked. up I by the tractors. Some call the enclosed cab a luxury, but it's cheaper than hospital bills." y Family pictures Back at the farm house, the archbishop posed for a family picture with Matt, his wife Theresa, and son Archbishop Stafford leads a blesslng of Jim and Peggy Lueck's wheat field. ,t Steve. Matt's other son, Brian, 15, remained behind to continue tilling the moisture-depleting weeds. The t family photos were a ritual the archbishop would repeat at each of the five farms he visited. At the Breidenbach farm the achbishop learned s about growing sugar beets. At Frank Zink's dairy s farm the archbishop toured an automated milking operation where 160 cows are milked twice a day begin ning at 4 a.m. in what many describe as "the hardest work in farming." The archbishop also vis g ited a feed lot owned by Basil Steib and his brothers. r Steib said his son s had been ''working 24 hours a day" to irrigate their crops. " We'll keep going till she rains or the river dries up," said Don Steib, Basil's son. At Herman and Linda Gerk's, the archbishop vis ited with the family at their home, and the eight Gerk children showed the archbishop the pigs they are raising for a 4-H project. " It's a diffe rent world out here,'' Archbishop e Stafford observed as he rode between farms. "People i in the city should know people here are a n integral s part of the archdiocese economically and religiously. We should pray for them so that these conditions don't put a strain on their families." t a Children and youths Prior to a Mass at St. Catherine's Parish , Iliff. the a rchbishop met with childre n and youths. In his homily at the Mass, Archbishop Sta fford t praised the people of the area a nd expressed his r concern for the stresses on families affected by the d rought. "In the city you look to wonderful buildings and monuments," said Archbishop Stafford. ''In I liff or in i Peetz you come to see the wonderful people.
