SUMMARY:International Day of Sport for Development and Peace
DESCRIPTION:Find out more about why the United Nations declared this day here. \n\n\n\nA Crown for Australia: Striving for the Best in Our Sporting Nation \n\n\n\nToday is a great day to revisit the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Social Justice Statement 2014–2015. It challenges us to look at the place of sport in our lives. Where are its strengths and how can we ensure that sport can thrive and in return can nourish our society? Equally\, what are the influences that are undermining and distorting sport’s ideals? Most importantly\, how can we work to realise sport’s potential to unite communities\, overcome differences and be a force for social justice and reconciliation?  \n\n\n\nPrayer for Good Sports\n\n\n\nGod of all sports (and none);from our small minds\,how amused you must bewhen our prayers about sportare about our own success or our team's.Whose side are you on?How do you choosewhen supporters from both sidesimplore your divine intervention?Remind us that in prayerour hearts are opened to youand our minds lifted beyond ourselves.Just as prayer changes us\,not you\, O God\,so sport too\, can lift us beyond ourselves.So we pray:We give thanks for the gift of our bodies\,for the ability to run\, walk\, jump\,swim\, catch and throw.We pray for patience and discipline\,that we may learn the joy of mastering new skills:achieving success\, and cheerfully bearing failurein the company of others.We pray that our relationships be enrichedthrough the friendships we form.May we learn to include others across bordersof language\, colour\, gender and religion.We pray that we care for others.May we especially look out for thosewho are differently abled\,and those often left on the boundaries.Through our vigilancemay we always play fair\,and ensure that no one is abused or exploited.We ask this through Jesus your son. Amen.

SUMMARY:International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda
DESCRIPTION:Ubumuntu (kindness\, humanity\, greatness of heart)\, from the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Kigali\, Rwanda              Artist: Unknown.\n\n\n\nFor Reflection\n\n\n\nThe Rwandan Genocide in 1994 saw over 800\,000 Rwandans\, mainly from the Tutsi minority\, massacred by the Hutu ethnic majority in three months. Over two million Hutu’s later fled the country\, fearing revenge attacks. Fr Marcel Uwineza SJ\, a survivor of the genocide\, calls these horrific events in his home country an “intimate genocide……It was not an invasion by an outside country\, but an intensive\, systematic killing of Rwandans by Rwandans.” \n\n\n\nDehumanisation of people because of their ethnicity\, and imbalances of power that illegitimately privilege one group of people over another\, have contributed to atrocities throughout history. As Christians\, we are called to break this cycle of violence. We honour the dignity of every human person\, no matter their ethnicity\, religion\, or difference to us. Jesus offers clear teaching in Matthew 22: 34-40 on how to move forward in peace: \n\n\n\n“’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart\,\nand with all your soul\, and with all your mind.’\nThis is the greatest and first commandment. \nAnd a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ \nOn these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”\n\n\n\nMarcel Uwineza SJ’s journey of healing and forgiveness: “To remember is to act so that those criminal activities never happen again. So\, to remember is to do justice.” \n\n\n\nPrayer\n\n\n\nPope Francis’ Prayer for Peace \n\n\n\nMusic\n\n\n\nWill You Be My Protector? by The Good Ones \n\n\n\nWill You Be My Protector? by The Good Ones

As Christians\, we uphold and actively support the conditions that allow all in our human family to flourish. \n\n\n\nPrayer for A Fairer\, Healthier World\n\n\n\n(adapted from the 2021 Social Justice Statement Prayer)      \n\n\n\nJesus\, you invite us all into the fullness of life.May we support one another to flourish in body\, mind and spirit.Strengthen our commitment to ensure that nobodyfalls through gaps in our systems of care. \n\n\n\nHelp us to recognise youin those who suffer ill-health today.Show us how to eliminate inequality in our health systems\, and in our world. \n\n\n\nYou drew near to thosewho were suffering in body or mind.May we too feel your nearnesswhen we struggle with health challenges.May we be one as members of Your Body. \n\n\n\nYou invite us to share in your ministryof love and true compassion.May we be empowered by your Spiritto reach out to all people in need.May we build communities of welcome and inclusion.  Amen. \n\n\n\nMusic\n\n\n\nBy Our Love by Tom Kendzia                              \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:World Day for Health and Safety at Work
DESCRIPTION:The International Labour Organisation (ILO) began to celebrate this day in 2003 however the trade union movement internationally has marked this day as the  International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured Workers  since 1996.  This celebration is an integral part of the Global Strategy on Occupational Safety and Health of the ILO. \n\n\n\n As part of the 2020 World Day for safety and health at work campaign\, the ILO will produce a global report\, highlighting how a comprehensive OSH [occupational safety and health] framework at both national and workplace level could address violence and harassment in the world of work.  This includes for example incorporating provisions related to violence and harassment into OSH laws\, regulations and collective agreements and developing specific standards\, code of practices and guidelines to support the implementation of programmes and preventive measures in the workplaces. At the workplace level\, sound OSH management systems can include the assessment and control of psychosocial risks including the interplay with violence and harassment.
