NAWR combines
education-social justice
"You have been told what is
good, and what the Lord
requires of you. Only this: to
act justly, to love tenderly, to
walk humbly with your God,”
(Micah 6:8) was the theme of
the Joint Action Workshop —
Education-Social Action, held
at St. Mary’s University in
San Antonio, Texas, January
30 - February 1, 1976. The
workshop was sponsored by
the southern region of NAWR
(National Assembly of Women
Religious).
Approximately 170 women
religious, as well as a few
deacons, priests, laymen, and
brothers reflected on world
and local issues, clarified
their roles and began planning
strategies for effective change
for justice on a local level.
‘‘We are called,” said Sister
Mario Barron, CSJ, “to make
the griefs and joys of society
our own.” The oppressed are
across the ocean and across
the street, she said, and
religious women, unattached
to home and family, must play
a prophetic role in the Church,
continuing the liberation that
Jesus began. Building of the
Kingdom is what we are
about.
The poor’s privation was felt
to some extent by the mem-
bers of the workshop who
participated in the “Symbolic1'
Soup Supper” Saturday If
evening during which they
united with the need and the
pain of the hungry in body and
spirit.
Considering the pain ef the
oppressed, Sister Jane Marie
Luecke, OSB, developed the
theology of oppression
pointing out that the strongest
urge of animals is for
dominance, as proved by
research. God, on the contrary
is an equal Trinity enjoying
perfect unity; and people,
man and woman, were
created in God’s image. The
curse on Adam and Eve,
representative of all humans,
was to disorder the
relationship between them by
allowing Adam to “lord over”
Eve. Jesus gave the vision of
re-ordered relationships, but
people are also to claim their
redemption. Some men,
(institutions, offices) continue
even until today to “lord over ”

others, not only women. And
those who have been or are
dominated have learned to
dominate others in return.
This results in violent actions
of every description. Society
has tolerated and still
tolerates oppression and
resists efforts to change the
stereotypes. “Marriage,” she
stressed “must be a model of
partnership and equality, not
a master-servant situation.”
Richard Santos stressed the
need for education to change
cultural oppression into
cultural appreciation. He
recalled that he never earned
gold stars for eating the
“model breakfast.” “You can
get as many proteins and
vitamins from one chile
pepper,” he said. What about
the bicentennial “Two cen-
turies have passed since our
forefathers....”? Four cen-
turies ago his forefathers were
here, in San Antonio, and even
in Jamestown.
Are the 75 percent Mexiean-
American population of San
Antonio a minority, he asks,
and yet by the Anglo they have
been so treated because the
Anglo had the position of
power. The Chicano dif'ers
from the Anglo in economic,
ethnicity, environment, and
home life, four unacceptable
differences.
Santos went on to point out
the advantage of taking what
the children bring to class and
adults to society and growing
with them, as they share their
gifts.
Sister Gwen McMahon,
SCN, developed further the
subject of education for
justice. “In learning
situations” she said, “all must
learn and all must teach.”
Education is not a passive
receiving; it is enabling —
drawing out powers and
talents of others. “The most
important resource in the
classroom is the teacher who
creates a climate for learning
to happen, and there is no
quality education without
justice.”
“Learning skills are
essential in school, but the
experiential ability to handle
conflict, make choices, and
accept mistakes is as im-
portant,” she said. She
challenged teachers to_ be

"full-time teachers,’’ always
professionally, creatively
planning, alert to world and
local issues and holding to
gospel values.
How to help people attain
goals and make the necessary
changes was Sister Marjorie
Tuite’s, OP, special effort.
Over and over she stressed
that the “folks” must define
the issues and set the goals.
Changes cannot come down
from the top. A group of
leaders with ability to hear the
“folks” have to be involved.
The leaders must also
recognize situations which
will stop programs toward the
goal.

by Gerard Elizondo
The Benedictine Order was
founded by St. Benedict in the
year 529 in Nursia, Italy. Since
the founding of this order, the
Benedictines have played an
important role in monastic
living. The basis for their life
is the "Holy Rule,” which has
been very influential among
Christian monastic com-
munities. St. Benedict’s Holy
Rule shows us how the Word of
God has a strong place in our
lives. It also shows how we can
lead ourselves to spiritual
perfection.
In the Benedictine life there
is a fellowship combined with
many features. For example,
“Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brethern to
Mystery, we believe change is
possible or we would quit.”
“Study the ^gospel,” she in-
sisted. “Jesus was a
strategist. See how He did it.”

ffikssed $acrament Ouraef
The Christian owes
everything to Mary, from the
cradle to the grave, from
childhood to old age, in joy and
in sorrow. He receives
through her maternal kind-
ness the grace of baptism and
of a religious education, the
grace of conversion or of
perseverance, the grace of
strength and courage in the
struggle, the grace of
protection and defense in
temptation, the grace of
refuge and consolation in
misfortune, the grace of
counsel and of wisdom in the
choice of a state of life and in
the ■ transaction of business
affairs, the grace to do good
and to avoid evil, in a word, all
that he needs to sustain or to
restore within him the life of
Jesus Christ. If the illusions of
nature and of the senses ob-
scure the vivid light of faith in
the soul; if the taste for
spiritual things is blunted; if
the Bread of Life the practices
of piety and religion excite in
us only distaste; if the wind of
tribulation blows; if
misfortune pours out its cup of
bitterness — Mary is present.
She is watching over us with
maternal solicitude, making
herself all to all, and ap-
portioning her help according
to our needs. She is the
strength of the weak, the foot
of the lame, the eye of the
blind, the ear of the deaf. She
enriches the poor, protects the
timid, disarms the angry,
touches the heart of the

The Order of
St. Benedict
dwell together in unity”
(Psalm 132:1). This shows
how the Benedictines are as
one family. Its superior is the
abbot whose authority is
fatherly. He shows the
strictness of a master and the
love and affection of a father.
The priests and brothers
follow the abbot’s discipline in
which they are united by the
same professed vows.
As brothers they do the will
of the superior and the Opus
Dei, the Work of God. This
leads to the combination of the
Ora el Labora which means
“pray and work.” For to pray
is God’s will and to work is his
will in the “School of the
Lord’s Service.” The kinds of
apostalates done by the monks
are like those of ordinary
people. Except that it is done
without wages. For as it
written from the words of our
Lord, “I have come...not to do
my own will but the will of
Him who sent me” (John
6:38). Here we can see how the
Benedictine monks strive in
their unity of work and wor-
ship. There is also a time for
recreation such as outings,
games, conversation, etc.
There is a Benedictine
monastery. on Lake Corpus
Christi, about 50 miles nor-
thwest of Corpus Christi. The
priests and brothers of Corpus
Christi Abbey live together
and dedicate their lives to an
advancement in spiritual
perfection and faith.

Benedictine life write to:

through prayer and work.”
ungrateful, and never
abandons anyone. Virtue, it is
true, is the object of her
complacency; yet the sinner
finds in her a shelter and a
refuge against the wrath of
heaven.
Our heavenly Mother is not
content, however, to exercise
this general solicitude, though
nothing escapes her watchful
eye, and all share alike in the
loving tenderness which she
extends to each of us as if we
alone were the objects of her
love. She would go further,
and give us unmistakable
proofs of her complacent and
anxious love. Knowing well
our human weakness, she is
aware that for many it is not
well that they should wander
alone and isolated along the
pathway of life, and for this
reason she causes her pious
associations to be multiplied
on all sides, extending over
them and their members her
most powerful protection. She
thus provides for those of her
children who have understood
the loving designs of her
tenderness, the two-fold ad-
vantage of receiving a greater
abundance of graces, and of
mutually assisting one
another by the influence of
their example, by emulation
in the practice of virtue, and
by the gentle persuasion of
pious intercourse. Besides,
her mediation is as powerful
as it is necessary; for, as St.
Bernard says, “the requests of
the Blessed Virgin are always
granted because of her
reverence; she has all power
over the heart of her Son.

Silent eight-day retreats ‘in’
SPOKANE, Wash. (NO — Eight-day annual retreats,
with silence and hours of contemplative prayer, once
standard among religious orders, have been adopted by the
bishops of Region XII of the National Conference of Catholic
Bishops in the Northwest.
Ten bishops, eight of them from Region XII, and 13
major superiors of religious orders, including 12 Sisters and
one priest, recently completed an eight-day retreat at
Spokane’s Immaculate Heart Retreat House. It was the
Northwest Bishops’ second annual such venture and part of a
continuing program of spiritual development and renewal
which they share.
In addition to the extend annual retreat, the Northwest
bishops meet every other month for a “day of reflection.”
The retreat house here has been used for the program
because of its central location in Region XII.
Reagan announces support of
abortion amendment ~
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (RNS) — Ronald Reagan,
campaigning for the Republican nomination for President,
said he supports a Constitutional amendment that would]
outlaw abortion except to safeguard the life of the mother. ,
His strong anti-abortion position was repeated during his
campaigns in New Hampshire and North Carolina, and
reaffirmed at a press conference here.
Priests’ convention
CHICAGO (NC) — “Without a profound change in the
pattern of ministry, it is unlikely that the Christian
community can change fast enough to be an effective
instrument of the gospel in our times,” says a working paper
for the 1976 convention of the National Federation of Priests’
Councils (NFPC) in Houston, Tex., March 21-25
The chief focus of the convention will be study and
development of the working paper, a two-part discussion of
ministry titled, "Priests - USA: Serving in a Ministerial
Church.”
