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: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
