- | ====World Day Against Trafficking | ||
- | Trafficking is a crime that exploits women, children and men for numerous purposes including forced labour and sex. Since 2003 the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has collected information on about 225,000 victims of trafficking detected worldwide. Globally countries are detecting and reporting more victims, and are convicting more traffickers. This can be the result of increased capacity to identify victims and/or an increased number of trafficked victims. | ||

- | We have called this COVID 19\\ | ||
- | Nature called it a RESET a REPRIEVE\\ | ||
- | We called it self-isolation\\ | ||
- | Nature called it a time to breathe again – to flourish\\ | ||
- | To turn inward and nourish the roots so it can grow\\ | ||
- | Free of plastic, garbage, pollution, and exploitation.\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | But we forget –\\ | ||
- | We are Nature\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Did you use this time\\ | ||
- | To reset, to nourish your roots? | ||
- | Did you use this time to pay attention\\ | ||
- | To the beautiful spring as it unfolded? | ||
- | Did you use this time to recognize\\ | ||
- | The preciousness of time? | ||
- | Did you use this time to dwell\\ | ||
- | In gratitude for the multitude of gifts you keep receiving? | ||
- | Did you use this time\\ | ||
- | To learn, unlearn, and learn again? | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Did you use this time\\ | ||
- | To notice that the heart\\ | ||
- | Is the source of all that is life-giving? | ||
- | That the flames of injustice lie in the heart? | ||
- | And that anger, indignation, | ||
- | Are simply the release of pent up toxins\\ | ||
- | They are never the cure.\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Did you lament about the lost past\\ | ||
- | Oblivious to the reality that the past is always past? | ||
- | Did you join the clamor | ||
- | To ‘go back to…’\\ | ||
- | Where there is never a going back? | ||
- | Did you choose to continue to live in ‘a-void-dance’\\ | ||
- | Rather than select a life of Being –\\ | ||
- | A life of reset, | ||
- | A life close to its true wondrous nature? | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Did you spend time with your heart? | ||
- | And did you caress your body\\ | ||
- | With each conscious breath? | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Did you realize that the sun of hope\\ | ||
- | Rises each morning in your chest? | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Did you savor eternity\\ | ||
- | One moment at a time? | ||

- | * Of duty, that the brave endure, | ||
- | * Must have made foes! If you have none, | ||

- | * 1 Covidians 12:1-11 | ||
- | * Now concerning the wearing of masks, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that in the time before Covid, we were enticed and led astray thinking that we were not responsible for one another' | ||
- | * Now there are varieties of masks, but the same spirit of wearing them; and there are varieties of mask wearers, but the same virus; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same precautions that must be shown to everyone. | ||
- | * To each is given a manifestation of a mask for the common good. To one a mask is given through our mask makers, and to another a purchased one online, or in a store according to the same spirit of protection. Some fashion one after watching a video on YouTube, to another... they already had some. The knowledge of needing to wear one according to the same spirit, to another faith that the same spirit will improve health and save lives. | ||
- | * Another receives the gifts of healing by this generous spirit, to another this seems no less than the working of a miracle, another prophecies that we'll get through all of this sooner by observing these loving precautions, | ||
- | * All these are activated by one and the same spirit, and we hope to allot to each one individually just as they choose. | ||
- | * In other words, wear a mask!... | ||
- | * Because loving our neighbor as ourselves is the crux of it. When we wear a mask we are saying that we love and care for ourselves, and that we love and care for our neighbors. If our neighbor is sick (and perhaps doesn' | ||
- | * ... it is a tangible and visible manifestation and practice of our LOVE. | ||

- | * Hosted by Catholic TeamWorks and led by Vincentian priest Fr. Ron Hoye, The God Minute is a short, reflective morning prayer based on the Divine Office that includes a psalm, a short reading and a reflection to begin your day with the Lord. Beautiful, reflective and less than 10 minutes. Take a few God Minutes each morning and see how your day rises in abundance. | ||

- | * Several sisters have shared that they would like to do something to help the dear neighbor. Though we are physically separated, we want to help those who are serving on the front lines, those who are sick and suffering, those who are dying. We want to comfort those who are lonely and reassure those who are afraid. Some have asked if we can go out, if we can do something. | ||
- | * Yet we have been told that the best thing we can do is to #StayHome and keep ourselves well. We can stop the suffering of others by keeping our distance. | ||
- | * However, in a conversation we thought it might be nice to shout it out that we are near in spirit, if far in body. So here’s an idea that we can try together: | ||
- | {{ : | ||
- | - Take some time to pray for those affected by the pandemic: the sick, the dying, healthcare workers, essential workers, the unemployed, the homeless, children, the lonely, scientists, government leaders... | ||
- | - Make a sign saying: //The Sisters of St. Joseph are praying for... [name whoever is the focus of your prayers]. | ||
