SUMMARY:Our Lady of Guadalupe
DESCRIPTION:“The feast in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe goes back to the 16th century. Mary appeared to Juan Diego dressed as an Aztec woman to show her love and compassion to an oppressed group of people. Mary had heard the prayers and pain of these people\, and she came to give them hope. Mary’s visit to Guadalupe is a reminder that God will remember his mercy for all people. In Mary’s song of joy\, the Magnificat\, she praised God because he has put down the mighty\, exalted the lowly\, filled the hungry\, and sent the rich away empty. People honor Our Lady of Guadalupe because they recognize her motherly concern for them.” Loyola Press

SUMMARY:1831: Founding of Sisters of Mercy by Catherine McAuley
DESCRIPTION:Catherine McAuley was born in Dublin\, Ireland\, in 1778. In 1824 she used her inheritance from an Irish couple she had served for twenty years to build a large House of Mercy where she and other lay women would shelter homeless women\, reach out to the sick and dying and educate poor girls. The House on Baggot Street opened in 1827. To give these efforts greater stability\, Catherine and her co-workers founded a new religious congregation. On 12 December 1831\, she and two others professed their vows as the first Sisters of Mercy. Before her death on 11 November 1841\, Catherine founded convents and works of mercy throughout Ireland and England. \n\n\n\nSource: Mercy International Association

SUMMARY:Christmas Day
DESCRIPTION:“The face of God has been revealed in a human face. It did not appear in an angel\, but in one man\, born in a specific time and place. By his incarnation\, the Son of God tells us that salvation comes through love\, acceptance\, respect for this poor humanity of ours\, which we all share in a great variety of races\, languages\, and cultures. Yet all of us are brothers and sisters in humanity! Our differences\, then\, are not a detriment or a danger; they are a source of richness. As when an artist is about to make a mosaic: it is better to have tiles of many colours available\, rather than just a few! The experience of families teaches us this: as brothers and sister\, we are all different from each other. We do not always agree\, but there is an unbreakable bond uniting us\, and the love of our parents helps us to love one another. The same is true for the larger human family\, but here\, God is our ‘parent’\, the foundation and strength of our fraternity.” Pope Francis\, Urbi et Orbi\, Christmas Day\, 2018.

SUMMARY:World Day of Peace
DESCRIPTION:Pope Paul VI instituted the World Day of Peace in 1968. It is celebrated each year on 1 January and the Pope issues a special World Day of Peace Message for the occasion. \n\n\n\nThe theme for the World Day of Peace Message 2021 is A Culture of Care as a Path to Peace. Pope Francis begins by reflecting that 2020 has shown us “how important it is to care for one another and for creation”. Hence he proposes a culture of care “as a way to combat the culture of indifference\, waste and confrontation so prevalent in our time”. \n\n\n\nIn the Message Pope Francis traces how care and protection\, love and compassion permeate the Christian story from creation\, throughout the life and ministry of Jesus\, in the early church and as the “beating heart of the Church’s social doctrine” today.  \n\n\n\nThe full text of the Message is available here.  Download our Discussion Guide here. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nYou can find Pope Francis’ World Day of Peace Messages here.

SUMMARY:St Francis de Sales
DESCRIPTION:St Francis de Sales is the patron saint of journalists. \n\n\n\nFake news is not new as Dr Margaret van Heekeren noted at the launch of the Social Justice Statement 2019-20. \n\n\n\n‘A week after Easter\, 85 years ago in 1934\, the then Pope\, Pius XI\, gave an historic audience to all foreign press correspondents in Rome – about 73 journalists\, responsible for providing news from the Vatican to more than 5\,000 newspapers around the world. Described as an ‘innovation’ by the London Times\, the papal audience can also be regarded as a political move. As historical research reveals\, the Vatican had\, by this time\, long been the subject of fake news\, much of it shared on wire services around the globe. Throughout the early 1900s fake stories included a proposal to edit the Bible\, the false report of a petition by French priests calling for their vow of celibacy to be dispensed and even an invented interview with Pope Pius X.’ Margaret van Heekeren\, Launch of the Social Justice Statement 2019-20.

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:St Isidore\, patron saint of the internet
DESCRIPTION:In 1997 Pope John Paul II declared Isidore of Seville the patron saint of the internet.  Isidore was a scholar with encyclopedic knowledge. In his writings he sought to collect\, systematize and synthesize all existing knowledge. \n\n\n\nSpeaking at a General Audience on 18 June 2008\, Pope Benedict XVI\, highlighted how Isidore combined contemplation and action.  He went on to quote Isidore: \n\n\n\nTherefore let the servant of God\, imitating Christ\, dedicate himself to contemplation without denying himself active life. Behaving otherwise would not be right. Indeed\, just as we must love God in contemplation\, so we must love our neighbour with action. It is therefore impossible to live without the presence of both the one and the other form of life\, nor can we live without experiencing both the one and the other. http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/audiences/2008/documents/hf_ben-xvi_aud_20080618.html \n\n\n\nPrayer Seeking the Intercession of St Isidore\n\n\n\nAlmighty and eternal Godwho has created us in thine imageand bade us to seek after all that is good\, true and beautiful\,especially in the divine person of Thy only-begotten Son\,Our Lord Jesus Christ\,grant we beseech Thee that through the intercession of St Isidore\, bishop and doctor\,during our journeys through the internetwe will direct our hand and eyesonly to that which is pleasing to Theeand treat with charity and patience all those soulswhom we encounter.Father\, we ask you this\, through Christ Our Lord.Amen

SUMMARY:1991: Centesimus Annus (The Hundredth Year) Encyclical issued by Pope John Paul II
DESCRIPTION:The Red Vineyard – Vincent Van Gogh\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus (The Hundredth Year)\, Pope John Paul II affirmed the groundbreaking encyclical Rerum Novarum from Pope Leo Xlll in 1891 where the fundamental rights and dignity of workers and work were clearly stated. It addressed any ongoing perceived conflict between the provision of capital and labour\, acknowledging work as central to vocation\, with a key social dimension that relates directly to the common good: \n\n\n\n“Work thus belongs to the vocation of every person; indeed\, man expresses and fulfils himself by working. At the same time\, work has a “social” dimension through its intimate relationship not only to the family\, but also to the common good\, since “it may truly be said that it is only by the labour of working-men that States grow rich.” Centesimus Annus\, #6\n\n\n\nEmployers were also challenged again to provide a living wage and humane conditions for their workers as foundational conditions of just employment: \n\n\n\n“A workman’s wages should be sufficient to enable him to support himself\, his wife and his children. “If through necessity or fear of a worse evil the workman accepts harder conditions because an employer or contractor will afford no better\, he is made the victim of force and injustice.” (CA\, #8). \n\n\n\nBoth Rerum Novarum and Centesimo Annos continue to speak powerfully today in regard to human dignity\, especially for workers and their families. Just work policies and practices are part of God’s work in and for our world. \n\n\n\nTo read more about Centesimus Annos: http://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_01051991_centesimus-annus.html
