Cardinal Timothy Manning of Los Angeles, who was elevated to the College of Cardinals with Cardinal Medeiros in 1973; Car­dinal John Dearden, retired arch­bishOp of Detroit, .and Boston's' six auxiliary bishops were the concelebrants at the Mass of Christian Burial.

A classmate

remembers· Twelve'of the cardinal's class­

mates in the BMC Durfee High School class of 1937 were in the Holy Cross Cathedral congrega­tion for his funeral Mass. In an article appearing in a memoria! section of the Fall River Herald News for Sept. 24, John J. Mc­Avoy, one of those classmates, recalled his long and happy as­sociation with the cardinal: "I

"He was always himself-that -was his charm, his special cha­risma. He had a delightful wit and sense of humor. As you told him a story, you could see his' eyes dance and the warm smil~

come to his face. He had a won­derful free, hearty laugh, and the knack of'making you feel you were the most important person in the world to bim.

"He was brilliant and high­minded, but humble and com­pletely unaware of his many talents. I think he was basically a very private man and b~ing in a position of prominence was not important to him.. I'in sure he would have preferred to be just an ordinary priest in a small town. However, this was not his de~tiny, and he accepted what God sent his way.

Recalling controversies durmg the cardinal's almost 13 years as archbishop of Boston over capi· tal punishment, abortion, school

He said "there were times. of course, when Cardinal Medeiros was silent - but only with the silence that disdains to defend oneself and to utter even justi­fiable complaint against unfair and unjust criticism., Like his divine master, "he bore his cross in silence."

Music for the Mass was by the Archdiocesan Papal Choir directed by Father Francis V. Strahan. The choir was formed for the 1979 visit of Pope John Paul II to Boston. Solos included "Simon, Son ofJohn," said to be the cardinal's favorite hymn. it was sung by Father Strahan.

The funeral liturgy concluded .a week-long series of Masses in the' cathedral, where nearly 50,000 people came .to pass the cardinal's body. Thousands who viewed the body the first day reached out to touch Cardinal Medeiros' hands entwined in rosary beads.

Tributes to the cardinal By NC News Service

Pope John Paul II sent tele­grams to Archbishop John Roach, president of the National Con­ference of Catholic Bishops, and to the vicar general of the Arch­diocese of BQston Sept. 17 to express condolences on the death of Cardinal Medeiros.

Additional expressions of loss and tributes were released by a number of religious and political figures.

",I express my condolences to you and all the brother bishops on the death of Cardinal Medeir­os," said the pope's telegram to Archbishop Roach. "I recommend his soul to the. mercy of the Lord whom he served so faith­fully and with such generous love."

In the telegram released by the Vatican, the pope added, "I pray that his memory may 'long be held In honor in the church throughout the United States of America, and in the hope that comes from Christ's resurrec­tion, I send my apostolic bless­ing."

In his telegram to the vicar general of the archdiocese, the pope wrote, "With deep sorrow I have learned of the death of Cardinal Medeiros. As" extend my condolences to the beloved Archdioces~ of Boston that he served with such intense pas­toral zeal, I impart my apostolic blessing to all who mourn in

Christian hope. Upon ~ardinal

Medeiros' soul I invoke eternal rest in peace and joy of the risen Lord whose paschal mys­tery he proclaim,ed so faithfully in word and deed. May Mary the mother of Jesus welcome hiin to heaven."

Bishop Daniel A. Cronin said that Card.fnal Medeiros' accom­plishments would be remem­bered with pride.

"I reaUy feel that what we will .all remember and cherish is the memory of the gentle bishop, soft spoken and compassionate, merciful- and understanding," Bishop Cronin said.

"We commend his noble soul to the Lord for the eternal rest that he has so justly merited," the bishop said, "after his recent suffering and H1ness and a long life faithful to the church."

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (0­Mass.) said, "Humility and com­passion for the poor are the leg­acies Cardinal Medeiros leaves for all of ·us. A remarkably holy and deeply sensitive and reli­gious leader, his loss will be felt not only by miHions of Cath­olics, 'but by people of all faiths."

Mayor Kevin H. White of Bos­ton called ·the cardinal "one' of the great men" in the city's his­tory and "a crusader for the poor, the homeless and the sub­jects of discrimination."

White said "he tried to teach us how to respect one another,

to see' beyond color, creed and "His moral leadership during social position so that we would . Boston's darkest hours stand as be freed from the bonds of pre­ a monument to courage, decency judice." and brotherly love. Cardinal

Bishop John Coburn of Massa­chusetts said. He helped Cath­olics "bring to bear upon the social issues of our day the spirit of· reconciliation, justice and peace" while at ,the same time encouraging "ecumenical dia­'logue."

The cardinal was "a light unto all people," said PhiUip Perl­mutter, executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Boston. The car­dinal led people "to love, justice, morality and interfaith under- \ standing.""

"We watched him cry as he empathized with the hurt of others," said James Nash, dlrec.~

tor of the Massachusetts Coun­cil of Churches.

"We saw his anger when he encountered abuses of persons and human rights," Nash con­tinued. "We honored his sin­cere piety, marveled at his re­,laxing charm, and smiled as he discussed his iiavorite mov-ies ­a list of which inclUded "Star Wars."

The Rev. Eugene Pickett, pres­ident of the Unitarian Univer­salist Association of Congrega­tions of North Amer-ica, said his church joined the Catholic community in mourning Cardinal Medeiros' death.

themoorinL Pastoring as a shepherd

The many celebrations and ceremonies surrounding the burial rites of Cardinal Medeiros were highlighted by the spontaneous outpouring of people. From everywhere they came, the .simple, the pow.eriul, the lofty, the lowly, the chosen, the rejected, to 'pay ·him their tribute..

What they showed was that the late cardinal was beloved, ~otbecause of his lofty office, but because of his pastoral impact on people. If there is one lesson to be gleaned by the hierarchy from the demonstration of lov:e we have just witnessed, it is that an influential office means little if its holder is devoid of pastoral care.

Thanks to the herculean labors of the media, the coverage of the' cardinal's liturgy and burial gave poignant testimoI1Y to this fact.

/

The words of the homilist, the griefstricken faces of mill workers, the myriad stories of the cardinal, all proved that the esssence of his life was not in his trappings of office but in his pastoral ministry. He was a good and faithful steward. More importantly, he was a loving and kind pastor of souls.

Today the word ministry has taken on great importance in the jargon of the church. In a given parish dozens of' w.orks are called ministries. Many diocesan offices offer elaborate "ministries" programs. In some places there are .special ministry schools. With all this, ministry sometimes becomes so bogged down in the speculative. and theoretical that it seems unable to get beyond the shuffling of papers. In other situations, it has created special interest groups whose sole purpose seems to be saving the saved.

It would be well for all who share in the ministerial efforts of the church to remember the pastoral legacy of integrity that our late cardinal brought to his own ministry.

Among the basic concepts he preached and lived was that whatever he did was done· in the name of Jesus, not his own.

This is the first and basic test of true ministry. Despite all the honors a church can bestow, despite any privileges one may enjoy, one's ministry is not one's own. It belongs to the Lord. This is a very hard ideal to tr.anslate into reality in a way devoid of pretense or parade. Cardinal Medeiros' did it. .

The Lord's wor~ continues. As we continue searching for ways to Jjring his message to a crass and cynical world, .may· the pastoral lesson of the late cardinal be evident in our ministry. Our work in the name of the church will have little lasting effect if we do not labor as Jesus taught us. He must use us; we must not use him.

It is easy to ridicule the simple. Our sophisticated world has little room for those who dO,not want to manipu­late, produce and achieve. It measures success by money and media exposure.

It is indeed difficult to avoid these pitfalls if we are to minister in the world. But it can be done if we follow the example set us by the life of Cardinal Medeiros; if each of us, whether cleric or lay man or woman, native or immi­grant, tries always to pastor as a shepherd.

ops in iRome celebrated two special jVIasses in memory of Cardinal, Humberto Medeiros of Boston, one at the North Amer­ican Coll¢ge, where the cardinal resided when visiting Rome, and the other: at the church of Santa Susanna, lof which Cardinal Me­deiros wll-s titular head.

More t~an 90 U.S. bishops, in Rome for a theological study program 'sponsored by the Na­tional Conference of Catholic Bishops and the North American College, toncelebrated the Mass at the college Sept. 22.

·Priests ,and seminarians from the Boston archdiocese were at the Massi which was also "at­tended by: William Wilson, Presi­dent Reagan's. special envoy to the Vatican, and by members of the American community in Rome. :

Archbisl:lOP Edward O'Meara of Indianapolis delivered the homily at' the Mass. He said that . 'Cardinal Medeiros had reached the reward which God promises to those who see Christ in the poor and oppressed and who serve: them...

"Cardin~1 Medeiros," the arch­

bishop said, "was active in civil and human rights in Browns­ville, Texas, whe're he had been bIshop before being named to the Archdiocese of Boston. In Boston, he continued the same work for the poor, but with much more difficulty."

The diffioulty, he said, "stem­med from being a man with a sensitive, retiring and humble personality, and succeeding the charismatic .Cardinal Richard Cushing."

. Archbishop O'Meara also noted Cardinal Medeiros' recent

.years of ill heaUh and said that he would speak "of his joy in his physical suffering as some­thing he, could offer to God."

Five New England bishops concelebrated a Mass Sept. 23 for Cardinal Medeiros at Sa~ta Susanna. They included, Arch· bishop John Whealon of Hart­ford, Conn.; Bisliops Daniel Reilly of Norwich, Conn.; Ame­dee Proulx of Portland, Maine; and Auxiliary , Bishops Leo O'Neil of Springfield, Mass., and Robert Mulvee of Manchester, N.H.

They" were joined by Msgr. William F. Mur.t*y, un·:iersecre­

tary of 'the Vatican Commission on Peace and Justice, and Fa­ther James Rafferty, director of the pastoral preparation pro­gram at the North American College. Both priests are from the Boston Archdiocese.

The New England bishops con­celebrated the Mass at Santa

, Susanna to show their solidarity with the, people of the Boston Archdiocese on the day of Car­dinal Medeiros' funeral.

At Santa Susanna, Archbishop Whealon delivered the homily and spoke of the simplicity which marked the cardinal's life.

He cited an address which Cardinal Medeiros had given to the St. Vincent de Paul Society in which he said he owed the society everything for what they had given him, including his first pair of shoes when he

.Adult religious educ~~ion

courses at Stang, Connolly Responding to the growing

demand in today's church for adult religious education. the Diocesan Office of Religious Edu­cation has announced two four­session programs, to b~ held the first three Wednesdays of October at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River, and the first three Wednesdays of November at Bishop Stang High School,' North Dartmouth.

Pointing out that the recent bishops' pastoral, "To-Teach as

,Jesus Did," states that "continu­,/ ing education of adults is situ­

ated not at the periphel"Y. of the church's educational mission but at its center," organizers say that such education is far reo moved from courses designed for children.

They explain that adult ex­/ '

perjences can be a "call ,to growth in new ways of learning and understanding basic theol­ogy" and that mature Christians can see the Bible "as a ,profound revelation of a God who made, loves and is constantly at work in his universe."

Also to be explored is the re­sponsibility of parents to reflect in their own behavior the stan­d~rds they expect of thejr child­ren.

Organized .into four :trackS:' Parenting, Introduction to the Bible and Basic Christian For­mation in English and in Portu­

guese, the courses will run from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

Parenting will be offered in both Fall River and North Dart­mouth by William P. Campbell, a school adjustment counselor and facilitator for parenting programs.

Introduction to the Bible will be taught in Fall River by Father Edward Byington of 51. George parish, Westport; and in North Dartmouth by Deacon Frank: Camacho of Our Lady of the Cape parish, Brewster.

Basic Christian Formation will be taught in English at both sites by Deacon Leo Racine of St. Joseph's parish, New Bed· ford.

It will be taught in Portuguese in Fall River by Father John J. Oliveira of Espirito Santo par­,ish, Fall River; and in North Dartmouth by Father Gastao Oliveira, Our Lady of Mt. Car­mel parish, New Bedford.

There is a $5 registration fee for the four sessions. Prospec­tive participants may register with priests or religious educa­tion coordinators in the Fall

.River and New Bedford .areas or contact the Diocesan Educa­tion Center, 423 Highland Ave., Fall River 02720.

demning the Sept. 1 destruction of a Korean plane by the Soviet Union, Archbishop --Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans told the National Association of the Holy Name Society convention .in the city that the only lasting solution to world peace will be return to a common belief in God.

Master­son said that "the transcendence of God, the redemption by Jesus Christ, the dignity of man when he acts in the light of these mysteries - they are the de­clared aim of theHQly Year, they must always illuinine the Holy Name Society in p'romoting reverence to the holy'name of Jesus."
