I am especially happy to meet with you who make up the black Catholic leadership in the United States. Your great concern, both as blacks and as Catholics is - and must always be - that all your ' . . . black brothers and sisters throughout America may hear and embrace the saving and uplifting Gospel of Jesus Christ. I willingly join my voice to those of the bishops of your country, who are encouraging you to give priority to the great task of evangelization, to be missionaries of Christ's love and truth within your own black community. To all the members of the black community throughout the United States, I send my greetings of respect and esteem. My dear brother bishops, who share with me the burdens and joys of the episcopacy: I am pleased that the universality of the Gospel and the cultural diversity of your nation are increasingly mirrored in the composition of the American hierarchy. While your apostolic ministry draws you to serve all the faithful of your respective dioceses - and in collegial unity the whole body of Christ - it is fitting for many reasons that your own black brothers and sisters should have a special right to your pastoral love and service. United with the successor of Peter in the college of bishops, you are a sign of the unity and universality of the Church and of her mission . . . How fruitful it is for the mission of the Church in America when so many priests from different racial and ethnic groups proclaim together Christ's liberating Gospel and thus bear witness to the fact that it rightfully belongs to everyone . . . When your people struggled under the terrible burden of slavery, brave spirits within the community embraced the evangelical counsels and dedicated themselves to the Religious life. Thus they bore eloquent witness to the power of the Holy spirit, accomplishing the work of spiritual freedom even in the moment of physical oppression. Black Religious today off er a comparable witness to the Church and society, proclaiming God's kingdom to a world shackled by consumerism, mindless pleasure seeking and irresponsible individualism - shackles of the spirit which are even more destructive than the chains of physical slavery . . . I express my deep love and esteem for the black Catholic community in the United States. Its vitality is a sign of hope for society. Composed as you are of many lifelong Catholics and many who have more recently embraced the faith , together with a growing immigrant community you reflect the Church's ability correct all imbalances and disorders of a social nature.

Mineral Ave .• Littleton C-4 10 l'laoto of die Week Sundays Gospel 25th Sunday of the year Matthew 20:1-16 By Father John Krenzke The parable of the owner of the vineyard going out to hire workers throughout the day has confused many people for the payment of the workers does not seem to be fair by any standard. This parable is a teaching about rewards_. The_owner of the vineyard is God and the payment He gives is eternal life. Let us look at several items in the story. The order of paying the workers is not important to the th~st of the story but it permits those who were employed first to see how much those who were employed last received and gives them lime t.o suppose that they would receive more! Since all the workers receive the same payment, the para ble does not illustrate the meaning of the concluding saying about the last and the first. The original emphasis seems to be in v. 14 where the owner speaks of his own free choice in giving the same reward t.o each worker. God is not answerable to us for what He does with His gifts. The refore , it must be clearly seen ithat the parable is not concerned with justice.· There is no injustice in paying those who worked all day a denar. A denar was a just wage in Jesus' day. The point here is that God can do as he pleases with His gifts and mankind is out of line in complaining about God's generosity. We must remember that Jesus' treatment of tax col lectors and sinners at table fellowship offered them the same entry into God's kingdom as the pharisees and others. God, Jesus constantly points out, is generous in forgiveness and mercy. If one would complain about that, one has clearly put oneself in the company of the critics of Jesus as seen in the parable of the loving merchant father in Luke 15. What is so wonderful about God's gifts is that He is generous t.o all! It is sad to see those whose tongues sag whenever someone is the object of another's generosity. It is sad to meet with, or worse yet, to live with ungenerous persons. Generosity is not merely giving out money. One can be generous with kind and consoling words. One can be gen erous with one's time. One can be generous in sharing a sorrow with a friend. One can be generous in being the first to reach out after there has been a mutual hurt through harsh words. The last become first when they accept God's gen erosity. The first become last when they refuse to continue in generosity and in fact exclude themselves from the king dom. James Baca/OCR Photo The saying last and : first indicates a reversal of Summer's last thrill this world's stanaants and values and Jesus' standards and values. They are clearly opposed!

Ce!f6ration ~ is a reality Commemorative~Medaffion BALTIMORE (NC) - Burnout among priests - exhibi ted in sleepless nights, inability to deal with parish groups, displaced spiritual lives, and other symptoms - is a fact that affects an unknown number of clergymen, said priests interviewed by Baltimore's archdiocesan newspaper. "To present priests as a group falling apart is not accurate," one expert on clergy personnel services told the newspaper, The Catholic Review. Shown Actual Size The term "priest burnout" itself can cause heated re 23/s inches in Diameter actions. It has been equated to exhaustion. Some say it is a ¼inch thick term that simply replaces the old-fashioned nervous break down. Certainly severe stress is part of it. "The workload has increased in the last 15 years," said Father John Kinsella, secretary for planning at the Na tional Conference of Catholic Bishops-U.S. Catholic Con· ference in Washington. He pointed out that 20 years ago "for first Communion the sisters prepared kids' and the priest showed up on that Sunday to confer the sacrament. Now parents have to be prepared by the priests, and parents can request that first Communion be held in the home." He cited wedding preparation and counseling as another example of increased responsibility for priests. The instability of modern life also takes its toll. A priest may worry ceaselessly about the parishioners who come to him for help. Father George 8. Moeller, associate director of the Hand craftea and Division of Clergy Personnel for the Baltimore Archdiocese, pointed out that in one of his parish assign- # irulivuluaff po[isfiea in . y ments 61 percent of the children had only one parent. so[ul wst pewter 9' sk.iffd "Kids would talk of second and third fathers, for in stance," he said.
