nee upon a time, in the land of Hushabye, around about the wonderous days of yore, they came across a sort of box bound up with chains, and locked with locks, and labeled KINDLY DO NOT TOUCH IT’S WAR. A decree was issued, round about, all with a flourish, and a shout, and a gaily colored mascot tripping lightly on before. Don’t fiddle with this deadly box, or break the chains, or pick the locks, and please don’t ever play about with war.’’ Well, the children understood; the children happened to be good-, they were just as good around about the time of yore. They didn’t try to pick the locks or break into that deadly box. They never tried to play about with war. The mommies didn’t either, sisters, aunts, and gran¬ nies neither because they were quiet, and sweet, and kind, in those wonderous days of yore. Very much the same as now, and not the ones to blame somehow for opening up that deadly box of war. But, someone did; someone battered in the lid and spilled the insides out across the floor, a sort of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns, and flags, and all the tears and horror and death that goes with war. It bounced right out and went bashing all about and bump¬ ing into everything in store. And what was sad, and most unfair, is that it really didn’t seem to care much who it bumped ... or why ... or what ... or for. It bumped the children mainly, and I’ll tell you this quite plainly; it bumps them every day and more and more, and leaves them dead and burned and dying, thousands of them sick and crying; because when it bumps, it really is quite sore. Well, there is a way to stop the ball. It isn’t difficult at all. All it takes is wisdom, and I’m absolutely sure that we can get it back into the box, and bind the chains, and lock the locks. But no one seems to want to save the children any¬ more. Well, that’s the way it all appears. Because it’s been bouncing round for years and years; in spite of all the wisdom wized since those won¬ derous days of yore. And the time they came across a sort of box, bound up with chains, and locked with locks, and labeled KINDLY DO NOT TOUCH IT’S WAR.

We dedicate the 1983 Angelicanto those very special people who have devoted themselves to the fight for peace through justice for the world. They have given us a way to create a place where aggression, hatred and indiffer¬ ence can no longer exist. We honor them for their c ourage and their desire to make all men brothers. One such peacelover is Ghandi. His work in South Africa and India showed the world that non-violence is never passive but courageously active, that might does not make right, and that no man is bound by unjust laws. Truth, as Ghandi said, can never be ignored; it is always victorious. Another peacemaker, Mother Theresa of Cal¬ cutta, spends her day in selfless care of the sick and dying. She teaches the modern world that its people need compassion. She believes that if she can ease the pain of one suffering person then she has done Christ’s work. The world in turn stands in awe of this simple Christ-filled woman, this Nobel Peace Prize winner. Probably the most highly recognized ambas¬ sador of peace is Pope John Paul II. Unhindered by controversy, he visits such unstable coun¬ tries as Argentina and the Falklands. His global expeditions carry one message: peace. Even the threat of assasination has not forced this pon¬ tiff to remain silent as he continued to blatantly denounce the adverse conditions under which the poor live. Although the target of communist resentment, John Paul walks among his people and demands human rights. Other peacemakers include our own presi¬ dents. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, each in his own way has attempted to bring the world and our country to peace. Each has met success and failure. And yet, no past accomplishment is iso¬ lated, for every step toward justice and com¬ passion is a step towards peace. Twenty years ago Pope John XXIII wrote an encyclical that would become a central force for justice and peace - Pacem in Terris. He urged all men to make the world a more human society, a place where men could call each other brother, a civilization where hunger and vio¬ lence would not exist. Pope John began his own fight for peace within the Church as he called cardinals and bishops to a dramatic renewal in the beginnings of Vatican Councils. Humanity opened the box of sin, and pain and suffering have walked over the earth ever since. Still, we have been blessed with the gif¬ tedness of men who have dared to live and die for the sake of peace. 3
