SUMMARY:2017: Uluru Statement from the Heart made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders
DESCRIPTION:People talking to Jesus in the Bough Shed (1995) – Queenie McKenzie\n\n\n\n\n\nFor Reflection\n\n\n\nThe Uluru Statement was issued in May 2017 on the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Australian referendum. In 1967\, Australians voted to amend the Australian Constitution\, allowing the Commonwealth to make laws for Aboriginal people and to include them in the census. 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders have endorsed the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart after an exhaustive and comprehensive two-year consultation process around Australia that was designed and led by Aboriginal people. Targeted structural change is called for through the Statement by establishing an ongoing First Nations Voice to Parliament\, and a Makarrata Commission ‘to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about our history’. In 1967\, Aboriginal people were counted as citizens of their own nation. Today\, they seek to be fully heard\, to walk with others\, and to build a better future for all Australians. \n\n\n\nRead the Statement here.  \n\n\n\nPrayer for Reconciliation\n\n\n\nGod of all creation\,as we journey together in this Great Southern Land\,we pray for healing\, forgiveness and unity\,creating a path of good will\, with justice and compassion. \n\n\n\nJesus\, through the power of your love\,you have given us the courage\, wisdom and strengthto share our gifts and talents in humility. \n\n\n\nIn peace and understanding we reconcile with each other. \n\n\n\nCreator Spirit\, we come together in prayer and thanksgivingfor the many blessings we have received.Allow your Spirit to wash over us and give us strength to walk together as one. \n\n\n\nAmen \n\n\n\nAboriginal Elder women and Reconciliation Church staff members\, 2014. \n\n\n\nMusic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVoice\, Treaty\, Truth\, Now by Felix Riebl and Ollie McGillsung by Spinifex Gum and Marliya Choirs

SUMMARY:National Sorry Day
DESCRIPTION:Our Home (2019) – Patrice Muthaymiles-Mahoney OAM (1975 – )\n\n\n\n\n\nSorry Day has been observed since 1998\, one year after the Bringing Them Home report was presented in the Australian Federal Parliament. This report detailed the impact of the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. Sorry Day offers an opportunity to reflect on the hardship faced when children were taken into institutional and foster care by governments and church agencies and placed with non-Indigenous families. These Stolen Generations suffered greatly from being removed from their loved ones at such an early age\, and for many the scars were life-long. However\, Sorry Day is also an opportunity to “acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and nation.”  \n\n\n\nGoing Deeper\n\n\n\nhttps://www.reconciliation.org.au \n\n\n\nPrayer\n\n\n\nAlmighty and loving God\,  you who created ALL people in your image.  \n\n\n\nLead us to seek your compassion as we listen to the stories of our past.  You gave your only Son\, Jesus\, who died and rose again  so that sins will be forgiven.  \n\n\n\nWe place before you the pain and anguish of dispossession  of land\, language\, lore\, culture\, and family kinship that  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have experienced.  We live in faith that all people will rise  from the depths of despair and hopelessness.  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families have endured the pain and loss of loved ones\, through the separation of children from their families.  \n\n\n\nWe are sorry and ask God’s forgiveness.  \n\n\n\nTouch the hearts of the broken\, homeless\, and inflicted and heal their spirits.   \n\n\n\nIn your mercy and compassion walk with us  as we continue our journey of healing  to create a future that is just and equitable.  \n\n\n\nLord\, you are our hope. Amen.  \n\n\n\nAboriginal and Islander Commission of the National Council of Churches in Australia\, (NATSIEC) 2003.  \n\n\n\nArtwork\n\n\n\nOur Home (2019) by Patrice Muthaymiles-Mahoney OAM (1975 – )  \n\n\n\nMusic\n\n\n\nTook the Children Away by Archie Roach.  \n\n\n\n\n\nTook The Children Away – Archie Roach

SUMMARY:1891: Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum (On the Condition of the Working Classes)
DESCRIPTION:The Red Vineyard – Vincent Van Gogh\n\n\n\n\n\nRerum Novarum was a groundbreaking encyclical from Pope Leo Xlll in 1891 that laid the foundation for modern Catholic Social Teaching. It directly took up the issue of the dignity and rights of workers in a rapidly changing world where industrialisation had created an ever widening gap between the materially rich and the working poor. Rerum Novarum offered a just way forward for employers and workers\, naming human rights in every workplace as foundational for a just society. The encyclical emphatically stated that moral virtue was central to authentic Christian life. This includes just work policies and practices:  \n\n\n\n“…..it is more easy to understand that the true worth and nobility of man lie in his moral qualities\, that is\, in virtue; that virtue is\, moreover\, the common inheritance of men\, equally within the reach of high and low\, rich and poor; and that virtue\, and virtue alone\, wherever found\, will be followed by the rewards of everlasting happiness.”  Rerum Novarum #24\n\n\n\nTo view the Encyclical: \n\n\n\nhttp://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_15051891_rerum-novarum.html   \n\n\n\nTo find out more about Catholic Social Teaching: \n\n\n\n\nCatholic Social Teaching an Introduction\n\n\n\n\nPrayer for Workers: \n\n\n\nDignity of Work and the Rights of Workers \n\n\n\nLord God\, Master of the Vineyard\,How wonderful that you have invited uswho labor by the sweat of our browto be workers in the vineyardand assist your workto shape the world around us. \n\n\n\nAs we seek to respond to this call\,make us attentive to those who seek workbut cannot find it. \n\n\n\nHelp us listen to the struggles of thosewho work hard to provide for their familiesbut still have trouble making ends meet. \n\n\n\nOpen our eyes to the struggles of those exploitedand help us speak for just wages and safe conditions\,the freedom to organize\, and time for renewal.For work was made for humankindand not humankind for work.Let it not be a vehicle for exploitationbut a radiant expression of our human dignity. \n\n\n\nGive all who labor listening heartsthat we may pause from our workto receive your gift of rest. \n\n\n\nFill us with your Holy Spiritthat you might work through us to let your justice reign. \n\n\n\nAmen. \n\n\n\nCopyright © 2019\, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

SUMMARY:1941: Death of William Cooper
DESCRIPTION:William Cooper was an inspirational Aboriginal leader in New South Wales and Victoria in the early part of the 20th century and a founding secretary of the Australian Aborigines’ League. The league was created to lobby state and federal governments on behalf of Aboriginal people.  The powerful symbolic gesture of a Day of Mourning on 26 January\, along with a petition to the British monarch calling for Aboriginal representation in federal parliament\, inspired generations of activists working for justice for Indigenous Australians.

SUMMARY:2019: Death of Deacon Boniface Perdjert
DESCRIPTION:Deacn Boniface\, a respected Elder and the first Aboriginal permanent deacon\, passed away in 2019. As the national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council’s tribute page for Deacon Boniface says: \n\n\n\nHis words and actions spoke loudly to the members of the Wadeye Community – of which he was a deeply loved and respected Elder – but also to the Catholic Hierarchy with whom he shared his wisdom on many official occasions.  http://www.natsicc.org.au/a-tribute-to-deacon-boniface.html \n\n\n\nOn the first anniversary of Deacon Boniface’s death we share for your reflection these words that he wrote in the later 1970s: \n\n\n\nGod did not begin to take an interest in people with the incarnation of his Son\, nor with Abraham. My people existed here in Australia thousands of years before Abraham. In all that time God was with my people. He worked through their culture. He was saving us despite human weakness. He was preparing us for the day when he would see the features of Aboriginals in the image of his Son. So i must recognize\, I must use the things of God that are in my culture. I mus use them in his service. If I do not do this\, my faith and my service are shallow. They are pretending. They belong to someone else\, not me. God has asked us t love him with wjhole mind\, heart and soul. So i must give myself to God as an Aboriginal. This is what God wants or he would not have made me what I am.  http://www.natsicc.org.au/a-tribute-to-deacon-boniface.html

SUMMARY:2011: Fukushima Earthquake and Tsunami
DESCRIPTION:On this day an earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima Prefecture in Japan killed 18\,500 people. Damage to a nuclear power plant in this event caused widespread contamination and the displacement of thousands of people. Reflecting on these events\, the Catholic Bishops Conference of Japan called for the abolition on nuclear power: \n\n\n\nWe\, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan\, appeal to all people who share our common home called Earth that we join hands\, rise together and act in solidarity to end nuclear power generation. For that purpose\, we turn first to the Catholic Church throughout the world\, seeking cooperation and solidarity. Then\, building on that\, we hope to develop a global solidarity that transcends religions\, races and nations. Catholic Bishops Conference of Japan
