H. RAMSEY Worship is man's recognition of his dependence upon the di- vine sufficiency and his confes- sion that all he needs in life can be found in God. It springs from our very natures, the re- sponse of creature to Creator. Man did not, and could not invent or create God, either through intellectual process or with his hands. God is the eter- nal Spirit and anyone who as- serts faith in Him as the one true God must necessarily be- come involved in the worship of Him as such. As the first commandment bids man to worship Goc exclu- sively, the second bids us to worship Him spiritually. As the first commandment forbids man to worship false gods, the sec- ond forbids us to worship Him under false forms. The second commandment is specific. Not only is man abso- lutely forbidden to make any aven images of the Almighty, e is also forbidden to make and (or) worship likenesses of anything in heaven, on earth, or in the waters under the earth. A single image of God which would satisfy all of mankind could not be fashioned, for God is a Spirit, appearing differ- ently to all men, each limited in his concept of God by what he sees about him. have portrayed Him as a robed and bearded Caucasian patri- arch. Africans may picture Him Negroid - featured, loincloth- garbed, and caped in leopard or lion skins, Orientals would see Him as themselves, yellow- skinned and almond-eyed, And South Pacific tribes would pic- ture His vast proportions gir- died by a lava-lava and crowned with feathers. Also, he might be depicted as a God of wrath and vengeance or a God of love and forgiveness, for each man's concept of God depends upon his experience with the Father. No likeness of God could really be fashioned, for God is a Spirit and idols or pictorial rep- resentations of God would limit our concept of Him as a Spirit. An image would narrow what what he sees. He would become "satisfied" with the image and unimpressed with what his mind and heart tell him about God. The making, bowing to and serving of images designed to evoke worship is expressly for- bidden. Certainly, the artisans who make such images have no such idolatrous objective in mind. They are fashioned but to personify and symbolize the spirituality of the Deity and His Saints. However, some men's all-too-human minds fail to pen- etrate through the image to communicate with the One it is supposed to represent. Such Renaissance artists might confinement or restriction of the man knows about God down to soul to a physical symbol can lead to de-spiritualization of the religious impulse. The dialogue between Jesus and the woman at the well sets the pattern for our worship of God. Jesus laid bare her life, showing her her true self with such a divine insight that she knew instinctively He was no mere man. Consequently she in- terrogated Him regarding re- ligion, seeking confirmation for her somewhat shallow beliefs. The rites and' observances of her faith had never made a very deep impression upon her for, if she thought of religion at all, it was a matter of cere- mony and form. Thus, 'she asked Jesus' opinion regarding the proper place for worship: her ancestors' Mount Gerizim tre of the Jews. Jesus' answer was well- chosen. The fact of worship is of greater importance than the act of worship, It matters not where we worship, but how we worship. "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."' Wor- ship involves man's whole be- ing. If he does not worship "in spirit and in truth," it is ques- tionable whether he worships at to 'a place," it must be centred in man's whole being. -It is not a matter of form, custom or ritual, but of the reality of who | God is and what He requires of or Jerusalem, the religious cen-| all. Worship cannot be confined) Visit To Portugal By Pope cinta in 1920 at the age of nine of pleurisy. AWAITED FINDINGS Although pilgrims at once started to flock to the spot, it was only in 1930, after careful examination and investigation of all relevant data, that full ecclesiastical approval was given to the devotion to Our Lady of Fatima. The record for the number of pilgrims visiting Fatima at one time was set Oct. 13, 1951, when 1,000,006 people from many parts of the world gathered at the shrine to mark the closing of the Catholic Church's Holy Year. The shrine can hardly accom- modate a greater number of people than that at one time, but the total of pilgrims visit- ing Fatima in 1967, is expected jto set a new mark. Hope that the Pope may visit | LISBON (Reuters) -- Portu- |guese Roman Catholics are hop- jing that Pope Paul may visit | Portugal next year for celebra- |tions marking the 50th anniver- sary of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917, Record numbers of pilgrims from Portugal and abroad are expected to visit the shrine dur- ing the year. Five-month-long celebrations will begin officially May 13, 1967 -- the 50th anniversary of the first apparition of the Virgin Mary to three children minding sheep in a field at Cova da Iria, near the small village of Fatima in central Portugal. Of the children, Lucia de Je- sus, 10, and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto, 7 and 9, only Lucia is still alive. She is a nun at the Carmelite convent of Santa Tereza, at Coimbra, in central Portugal.

"It was a scandal to have Christians separated in this way," says Sister Chabanel, a member of the team that adapted the catechism.
