how people fight in their re­ lationships. Father Villegas represented a husband, and Mrs. Bigelow pretended to be his wife. The husband argued that it didn’t matter where he threw his keys, and Mrs. Bi­ gelow ordered him to place them in a drawer. The heat and tension of the argument in­ creased rapidly while the stu­ dents wondered about the sit­ uation. Then Father Villegas stopped for a moment and ex­ plained that neither Mrs. Bi­ gelow nor himself had won the
fight, the keys had.
Father Juan explained that
in a relationship, all parties must strive to make it work out. He said that if one just does not fight back, the ar­ gument can not escalate. With this he showed us how he and Mrs. Bigelow should have han­ dled the potential fight. Father Juan succeeded in giving us a lesson that will last a lifetime andhediditinsuchawaythat people really listened and learned.
o mark the beginning f of a new school year, C.B.A. held its first lit­ urgy mass on Thursday, Sep­ tember 19,1991. The mass itself was very much like a regular mass in a church, with one ex­ ception. Father Juan Villegas, S.J. had come to direct us in
our worship.
The turning point in the mass
was the Homily. Most students
expected to hear Father Vil­ legas say the usual sermon, which would consist of talking about how we should all try our best to be God-like. When he asked for a volunteer to come up to the alter, the majority of the student body felt bewil­ dered. Mrs. Brenda Bigelow eagerly made her way up to where the priest was.
