Photo by Charles J.Photo by Schisla meets with aides VATICAN CITY (CNS)—Five days after a tracheotomy to relieve breathing problems, Pope John Paul II was able to offer Mass in his hospital room, meet with aides and continue initial sessions of speech therapy, the Vatican said. Cardinal Ratzinger, who brought the pope some papers to work on, told reporters on March 1 that the pontiff had spoken to him—in two languages, German and Italian. “The pope was able and alert, and he’ll work on the things I brought him,” said the cardinal, who heads the Vatican’s doc- trinal congregation. Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro- Valls told reporters the same day that the pope’s recovery was “completely normal” and that he had spent another peaceful night at Rome’s Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic. Navarro-Valls called the 84-year-old pope a “good patient” and said he was carrying on with breathing and speech rehabilitation exercises.

The answer, in smaller type on the back of the T-shirts, proclaimed “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, cre- ator of heaven and earth.” The T-shirts were a “pop culture” reminder that the first words in the Apostle’s Creed are the solution to the daily challenge of living a Christian life, and teens need to look closely at the choices they make to be sure they are fol- lowing God’s will.

More than 500 Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Webelos and Scouting leaders were honored for their dedication to Sean Gallagher Photos by the Catholic faith on Feb. 27 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. After those present praised God in song, listened to Scripture readings proclaimed and a homily delivered by Father Thomas Schliessmann, archdiocesan chaplain of Scouts, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein blessed the religious emblems awarded and presented them to the hundreds of Scouts and Scout leaders present for the occasion. The event was especially meaningful for Archbishop Buechlein, who told the Scouts it was the 50th anniversary of his earning his Eagle Scout award. Assisting the archbishop at the ceremony was Deacon Shaun P. Whittington, a member of St. Michael Parish in Brookville, who also was an Eagle Scout. Deacon Whittington will be ordained a priest for the archdiocese later this year. Eagle Scout is the highest rank that a member of the Boy Scouts can earn. In comments after the event, Archbishop Deacon Shaun P.

During their visit last month, the arch- Charles J.Photo by Schisla diocesan delegation traveled with Brian Goonan, CRS country representative to Cuba, and met with Archbishop Juan Garcia of Camagüey to discuss ways that the two archdioceses can continue to strengthen their Church partnership. Other highlights of the trip included meeting four seminarians and visiting Church ministries provided by Caritas Cuba in Havana and Camagüey as well as visiting programs that assist the elderly. After returning home, Msgr. Schaedel said he was grateful to Archbishop Buechlein and Catholic Relief Services for allowing him to travel to Cuba to visit Catholic parishes, tour Church ministries and meet so many wonderful people there.

You fed me…In the passage from the Gospel of Matthew, the Lord is reminding us that we are reaching out to Him when we reach out to feed those in need. The Oblates serving in Brazil have created a program called “Our Soup,” pro- viding lifesaving soup for starving people four days a week. You gave me drink…Oblates are providing clean drinking water to poor Brazilian families to curb disease. You took me in…Nearly 10 million abandoned street children face a bleak future. Now Oblates are saving them, one life at a time, in their orphanage in Recife. You clothed me…Each year young men come to the Formation House in Recife with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the Holy Spirit in their hearts. There they pray, study, and serve the poor in the sur rounding communities. The Oblates need your help as they reach out to the living examples of Christ’s suffering. Please be generous and help bring Christ’s love to the poor in Brazil and 70 other countries worldwide.
