Today, we will have a 2nd collection for our Mission Appeal for the Diocese of Ekiti in Nigeria. Your loving gesture of solidarity through prayers and financial aid will go a long way in supporting the Diocese of Ekiti to effectively carry out the ministry of Christ in the context of communities where people face numerous socio-economic challenges but with strong sense of faith. We deeply appreciate your love and solidarity. God’s blessings always.                                                           Fr. Emmanuel Alao, Pastor, Sangre de Christo, San Luis, CO

Prayer for the chronically ill

Loving God, rock of strength for those who trust in you,
Comforter of those who call on you,
Hear the cry of those who suffer
From constant sickness or weakness,
And embrace them in your loving arms.
As you have united them to the suffering of Christ
In the waters of baptism,
Be their companion on the way of the cross,
Give them peace,
And strengthen them with the vision of your kingdom.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
-Blessings and Prayers for Home and Family

Positive Peace

Scholars in the academic field of peace studies distinguish between “negative peace”, the absence of war and violent conflict, and “positive peace”, the conditions under which active human flourishing occurs. In societies that foster positive peace, people are unencumbered by active violence; have access to fundamental human rights such as healthy food, clean water, shelter, and education; and they also enjoy freedom of cultural and religious expression. Internationally renowned peacebuilder John Paul Lederach said that “peacebuilding requires many levels of intervention, from grassroots to the international.” Religious organization ranging from the local to the global play important roles in this peacebuilding. Pope John XXIII knew this, and consequently authored the encyclical Pacem in Terris in 1963 amid the Cold War. So did Pope Paul VI, who declared January 1, the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, as a World Day of Peace. In other words, peacebuilding demands spiritual intervention, and this is one way we can play a role. Where do you feel called to direct your prayers for peace?          -Renee LaReau
