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: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
