Just 48 more days! Construction of the 250-foot altar for the Papal Mass at Tamiami Park in west Dade begins with the spade turning by Archbishop Edward McCarthy (right) surrounded by Patrick Gerrits, contractor of the altar; Fr. Anthony Mulderry, site coordinator; Fr. Noel Bennett, transportation coordinator, Fr. Jude O'Doherty, overall visit coordinator. In about seven weeks the empty field will contain thousands of people, many from upstate or even out of state, and some who will even camp out overnight in a party-like atmosphere at the park in anticipation of the once-in-a-lifetime event- a visit by the chief shepherd of the Catholic Church.

In honor of Tekakwitha Seminole Indian children (right), pretending to be 'fireflies', danced for Archbishop Edward McCarthy and Auxiliary Bishop Agustin Roman during the annual Archdiocesan celebration of the feast of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, the first North American Indian to be beatified by the Church. "Her name, Tekakwitha, means 'woman prophet1," explained Seminole Chief James E. Billie, who later presented the Archbishop with a tribal flag (above). As has become traditional in the four-year-old celebration, members of the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women gave layette sets to two women, one each from the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes, whose babies are born closest to the Tekakwitha feast. This year's recipients were: Stacey Doctor of the Seminole tribe, who received two layette sets because she is expecting twins; and Evelyn Osceola of the Miccosukee tribe, whose baby, Rebecca Lynn Cypress, is one month old.

scheduled for 1988 and "89. And the Magazine Publishers Association, which cried censorship when a boycott of 7-Eleven and other stores led to the ouster of Playboy, Penthouse and other magazines which demean and degrade human sexuality, has cancelled meetings scheduled in this state for 1988-89. Such cancellations are no mere symbolic gestures, the choking cries of Madison Avenue vultures. These cancellations cost our state and employees millions of dollars a year. NBC spokeswoman Helen Manasian told the press: "The more people that protest, the more unpopular this tax is shown to be, the more possibility there will be some change." Soon a new coalition, Christian Leaders for Responsible Television (CLear-TV), will be announcing a boycott against the leading sponsors of sex, violence and profanity. Clear-TV is the largest and most diverse group of Christian leaders in this country ever to address such a single social issue. It includes more than 1600 Christian leaders, including the heads of more than 70 denominations. No doubt, cries of censorship will be heard 'cross the land once again, but don't hold your breath to see the media point out the hypocrisy. What you have is one group boycotting for a healthy environment in which to raise children and the other boycotting over WHY CONGRESS paying a few bucks that will help children, handicapped, mentally ill, and other necessary social needs in this until-now undertaxed state.

When people turn actively to Scripture, Its message can be a real awakener, as the epistle to Other prayer, too, owes a large debt to Scripture, however, their reasons are many. For some, Scripture the Ephesians suggests: whether one thinks of the "Our Father," the "Hail provides a vast panorama opening out to God, the "Awake, 0 sleeper, Mary" or of monks singing the Liturgy of the Hours world, and the meaning of human life.

"To awaken is to open our eyes...to the hardly escape Scripture if they wanted to. It is rooted forces of faith behind the Bible. divinizing light," he said.

That is the inescapable message of the Bible.

PAGE 18 / Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, July 24,1987 Know Your Faith How to read the Bible By Father David K. O'Rourke, OP NC News Service How do you read the Bible? Where does an dinary person start in a 2,000-year-old story of life that took place halfway around the world? These are questions I had to ask myself a few years ago when I started a parish Bible study class. The people in the group would not have exten- sive knowledge of the Bible. They were in the group for religious reasons. As a woman told me: "I've heard the Gospel read at Mass. I've listened to ser- mons and I've picked up bits of information along the line. But I've never really 'read the Bible.'" Fortunately I remembered my own first Bible- study class 30 years ago. Our teacher decided he would try to introduce us to the person of Jesus Christ. What was he like, what did he talk about and what did he do? Like my former teacher, I would have to bridge centuries and cross cultures to do this. Since Ameri- cans enjoy biographies, his approach seemed appro- priate. But how would the Gospels be employed in this approach? The four evangelists each wrote for other purposes and for different audiences. Luke wrote to bring hope to the poor and mar- ginal in the Roman world. Mark wanted to talk of suffering. The Gospel writers took events in Jesus' life and presented them for their audiences in a way the audience would understand. Factual biographies, with all their events care- fully listed in the proper order, were not written until the last few centuries. Thus, simply picking up Mat- thew, Mark, Luke and John wouldn't do. We began with a continuous narrative that used all four stories. To help modern readers, some Biblical scholars have taken the four Gospels and constructed a narrative that appeals to the Western mind and helps to ease the way into the Bible. Let me talk about our first session. We began with John the Baptist's preaching and Christ's baptism in the Jordan. Luke gives us details about the time and place. Mark and Matthew tell us about John's life in the desert. Matthew gives words between John and Jesus. Considering the time, space, and people in a story When all those details are included, the picture stirs the imagination with images, releasing the presented appeals to the modern mind. We think as reporters and we would like to know who was there, message in all its richness* Then we can carry the what they said, where they work and live, and what it story around with us and slowly reflect on it without looked like. an open Bible in front of us/ Interestingly, the combined Gospels have a wealth of such details. John the Baptist's preaching and baptism took place on the edge of the wilderness ministry. baptized by John? and in the cold waters of a dangerous river. People had The details serve as a commentary on the begin- Here, as elsewhere, learning is as much a matter to leave the comfort and safety of the cities and go ning of Christ's ministry.

We found that this vivid approach, appealing But they came, from Jerusalem and all Judea, the And they can raise the questions that Bible study to the imagination as well as the mind, helped religious leaders as well as the common people, down can try to answer: What were these people looking for provide a first approach to the Bible, one that could the 4,000-foot drop to the Jordan Valley and into the that they came so far and at such effort?
