SUMMARY:International Day for Disaster Reduction
DESCRIPTION:“Making infrastructure more climate-resilient can have a benefit-cost ratio of about six to one. For every dollar invested\, six dollars can be saved. This means that investing in climate resilience creates jobs and saves money.” — UN Secretary-General António Guterres \n\n\n\nThe International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction was started in 1989\, after a call by the United Nations General Assembly for a day to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction. Held every 13 October\, the day celebrates how people and communities around the world are reducing their exposure to disasters and raising awareness about the importance of reining in the risks that they face. \n\n\n\nUnited Nations

SUMMARY:Saint Teresa of Avila\, Doctor of the Church
DESCRIPTION:“Teresa was a woman “for others.” Though a contemplative\, she spent much of her time and energy seeking to reform herself and the Carmelites\, to lead them back to the full observance of the primitive Rule. She founded over a half-dozen new monasteries. She traveled\, wrote\, fought—always to renew\, to reform. In her self\, in her prayer\, in her life\, in her efforts to reform\, in all the people she touched\, she was a woman for others\, a woman who inspired and gave life. Her writings\, especially the Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle\, have helped generations of believers. In 1970\, the Church gave her the title she had long held in the popular mind: Doctor of the Church. She and St. Catherine of Siena were the first women so honored.” Franciscan Media

SUMMARY:International Day of Rural Women
DESCRIPTION:“As early adopters of new agricultural techniques\, first responders in crises and entrepreneurs of green energy\, rural women are a powerful force that can drive global progress.” — UN Secretary-General António Guterres \n\n\n\nThe crucial role that women and girls play in ensuring the sustainability of rural households and communities\, improving rural livelihoods and overall wellbeing\, has been increasingly recognized. Women account for a substantial proportion of the agricultural labour force\, including informal work\, and perform the bulk of unpaid care and domestic work within families and households in rural areas. They make significant contributions to agricultural production\, food security and nutrition\, land and natural resource management\, and building climate resilience. Even so\, women and girls in rural areas suffer disproportionately from multi-dimensional poverty. \n\n\n\nUnited Nations

SUMMARY:Saint Ignatius of Antioch
DESCRIPTION:Born in Syria\, Ignatius converted to Christianity and eventually became bishop of Antioch. Ignatius is well known for the seven letters he wrote on the long journey from Antioch to Rome. Ignatius’s great concern was for the unity and order of the Church. Even greater was his willingness to suffer martyrdom rather than deny his Lord Jesus Christ. He did not draw attention to his own suffering\, but to the love of God which strengthened him. He knew the price of commitment and would not deny Christ\, even to save his own life. \n\n\n\nFranciscan Media

SUMMARY:World Mission Sunday
DESCRIPTION:“Here am I\, send me.” (Is 6:8) \n\n\n\n“Mission is a free and conscious response to God’s call. Yet we discern this call only when we have a personal relationship of love with Jesus present in his Church. Let us ask ourselves: are we prepared to welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives\, to listen to the call to mission\, whether in our life as married couples or as consecrated persons or those called to the ordained ministry\, and in all the everyday events of life? Understanding what God is saying to us at this time of pandemic also represents a challenge for the Church’s mission. Illness\, suffering\, fear and isolation challenge us… The celebration of World Mission Day is an occasion for reaffirming how prayer\, reflection and the material help of your offerings are so many opportunities to participate actively in the mission of Jesus in his Church. The charity expressed in the collections that take place during the liturgical celebrations of the third Sunday of October is aimed at supporting the missionary work carried out in my name by the Pontifical Mission Societies\, in order to meet the spiritual and material needs of peoples and Churches throughout the world\, for the salvation of all.” Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for World Mission Day 2020.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRead the full text of the here:

SUMMARY:Saints Simon and Jude
DESCRIPTION:Jesus chose some unlikely people: a former Zealot\, a former (crooked) tax collector\, an impetuous fisherman\, two “sons of thunder\,” and a man named Judas Iscariot. It is a reminder that we cannot receive too often. Holiness does not depend on human merit\, culture\, personality\, effort\, or achievement. It is entirely God’s creation and gift. God needs no Zealots to bring about the kingdom by force. Jude\, like all the saints\, is the saint of the impossible: Only God can create his divine life in human beings. And God wills to do so\, for all of us. \n\n\n\nFranciscan Media

SUMMARY:Saint Charles Borromeo
DESCRIPTION:“Trained in civil and canon law in Pavia\, Charles Borromeo was called to Rome as a young man by his uncle\, Pope Pius IV\, to be secretary of state at the Vatican. “Always clear and precise in his views\, firm in his demeanor\, and constant in the execution of his projects\,” as one biographer has remarked\, he played an important role in convincing Pius to reconvene the Council of Trent\, which sought to address corruption in a sixteenth-century church beleaguered by Protestantism. Under the auspices of that council\, beginning in 1563 Borromeo supervised the writing of an accurate catechism\, rewrote liturgical texts and music\, and began enforcing clerical reform in Rome. Charged with implementing the reforms dictated by the Council of Trent\, Borromeo had to blend tough love and personal integrity.”  Loyola Press

SUMMARY:World  Tsunami Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:In the past 100 years\, 58 tsnamis have claimed more than 260\,000 lives\, or an average of 4\,600 per disaster. The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 lone caused an estimated 227\,000 fatalities in 14 countries\, with Indonesia\, Sri Lanka\, India and Thailand hardest-hit.  \n\n\n\n“In December 2015\, the UN General Assembly designated 5 November as World Tsunami Awareness Day. World Tsunami Awareness Day was the brainchild of Japan\, which due to its repeated\, bitter experience has over the years built up major expertise in areas such as tsunami early warning\, public action and building back better after a disaster to reduce future impacts. The date for the annual celebration was chosen in honour of the Japanese story of “Inamura-no-hi”\, meaning the “burning of the rice sheaves”. During an 1854 earthquake a farmer saw the tide receding\, a sign of a looming tsunami. He set fire to his entire harvest to warn villagers\, who fled to high ground. Afterwards\, he built an embankment and planted trees as a buffer against future waves.”  Tsunami Day\, United Nations

SUMMARY:International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict
DESCRIPTION:“… the environment has often remained the unpublicized victim of war. Water wells have been polluted\, crops torched\, forests cut down\, soils poisoned\, and animals killed to gain military advantage. Furthermore\, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has found that over the last 60 years\, at least 40 percent of all internal conflicts have been linked to the exploitation of natural resources\, whether high-value resources such as timber\, diamonds\, gold and oil\, or scarce resources such as fertile land and water. Conflicts involving natural resources have also been found to be twice as likely to relapse.” United Nations\n\n\n\nAction\n\n\n\nRead the United Nations resolution declaring 6 November the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. How can you respond? \n\n\n\nWhat does Pope Francis have to say about this in Laudato Si’? How might you include action to prevent harm to creation as a result of war and armed conflict in your commitment to justice\, ecology and peace?

SUMMARY:1907: Harvester minimum wage judgement by Justice Higgins
DESCRIPTION:“In 1907 Justice Henry Bourne Higgins\, President of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Court\, set the first federally arbitrated wages standard in Australia. Higgins’s ruling became the basis for setting Australia’s minimum wage standard for the next 70 years. Using the Sunshine Harvester Factory as a test case\, Justice Higgins took the pioneering approach of hearing evidence from not only male workers but also their wives to determine what was a fair and reasonable wage for a working man to support a family of five. The decision was a landmark case because\, for the first time\, employers were challenged to formulate wages on the basic needs of their employees rather than being solely concerned with the company’s profits.” National Museum Australia\n\n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nJustice Higgins’ determination of a just wage was influenced by Pope Leo XIII’s definition of a just wage in Rerum Novarum in 1891.  Leo XII says that “remuneration must be enough to support the wage earner in reasonable and frugal comfort” (n 34) and goes on to specify that wages must be sufficient to enable a worker to “maintain himself\, his wife\, and his children in reasonable comfort” and “by economy” be able to save and purchase property (n 35). \n\n\n\nFor reflection\n\n\n\nNeither Justice Higgins nor Pope Leo XIII considered the role of women in the workforce or question of wage justice for women workers.  How might the ideal of wages sufficient to support a family be enacted today in a way that recognises the right of women to participate in the paid workforce and the responsibility of men to share in unpaid family and community responsibilities?

SUMMARY:1989: Opening of the Berlin Wall
DESCRIPTION:“On November 9\, 1989\, as the Cold War began to thaw across Eastern Europe\, the spokesman for East Berlin’s Communist Party announced a change in his city’s relations with the West. Starting at midnight that day\, he said\, citizens of the GDR were free to cross the country’s borders. East and West Berliners flocked to the wall\, drinking beer and champagne and chanting “Tor auf!” (“Open the gate!”). At midnight\, they flooded through the checkpoints. More than 2 million people from East Berlin visited West Berlin that weekend.   The reunification of East and West Germany was made official on October 3\, 1990\, almost one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall.” The Berlin Wall: The Fall of the Wall

SUMMARY:Saint Leo the Great
DESCRIPTION:“At a time when there is widespread criticism of Church structures\, we also hear criticism that bishops and priests—indeed\, all of us—are too preoccupied with administration of temporal matters. Pope Leo is an example of a great administrator who used his talents in areas where spirit and structure are inseparably combined: doctrine\, peace\, and pastoral care. He avoided an “angelism” that tries to live without the body\, as well as the “practicality” that deals only in externals.” Franciscan Media
