People I Love : Number 7
THE CATHOLICS
A Maryknoll priest was waiting for me when I returned home that evening from a sick call which had taken me far into the hills. The Bishop has been trying to contact you all day.¡± He said.
¡°I¡¯m sorry to tell you your Mother died suddenly yesterday,¡± He had to leave so as to get home to own mission before the curfew stopped road traffic. We both lived near the demilitarized zone which divides North and South Korea. Here the curfew was strictly enforced.
Margaret my catechist, not understanding English, looked at me anxiously. ¡°Father John told me Mother died suddenly yesterday.¡± I told her. Then I was left alone ¡¦ and felt alone.
¡°Oh, God, thank you for giving me such a wonderful Mother,¡± I prayed.
The next day I said Mass at 6 AM, and left early for a scheduled visit to an outstation chapel on a small offshore island. Before I left Margaret asked me. ¡°Would it be all right if some of the Catholics said the Prayers for the Dead for your Mother this evening?¡± How could I refuse?
Catechist Francis Park accompanied me that day as we took a dusty bus to land¡¯s end. From there we slogged over mud flats, exposed at low tide, to the offshore island of Chong Ra Do. I heard confessions, said Mass, examined the children and new converts in their knowledge of Christian doctrine. We arrived home about 7 P. M. I washed op and had supper. At 8 P. M. Margaret came. ¡°Some Catholics have come to say the prayers for your Mother. Would you care to join them?¡± Of course. ¡°There¡¯ll be about 30 old ladies from the Anna Sodality.¡± I thought to myself. The old ladies of the Anna Sodality enjoyed chanting the Prayers for the Dead.
There was a burst of light as opened the side door of the Church and went in. Candied were burning on the altar and every light in the Church was on. There was perfect silence. This Church seated 600 people, but now people were standing in the aisles. Farmers,. tradespeople, factory workers, housewives, they had all come to mourn with me.
Someone began chanting the century old Korean Prayers for the Dead, and the crowd took it up. As the mournful chanting continued for the next two hours, from my place at a kneeler in the sanctuary I fought back my tears and thought, ¡°How can one not love these people!¡±
I¡¯m sure my Mother from her place in heaven appreciated the attention she was receiving.
