Just a few thoughts
I am continuing to focus on Social Justice issues.
ü The
feast day of St Francis of Assisi
Change
begins today
ü In
the Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor statement’s foreword Mark Coleridge
writes – “With Pope Francis we avoid getting ‘mired in theoretical discussions’
and instead seek to ‘hear the true stories’ of people’s experience, look at
reality through the eyes of those most affected, and ‘listen with an open heart
to the stories that they tell’ Our task is to listen to people, to the earth,
and to all of God’s creation, since every created thing is interconnected.”
ü Creation-The
Cry of the Poor -- Fr Richard Leonard
ü The

September as World Day of Prayer for Creation. Check

us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of
love." -- Mother Teresa
ü First
