Included in this issue: A litany for "grateful and active Christians"; resource notices; a two-page reprint on Eucharist and the social mission of the Church; information on World Mission Sunday; a prayer reflection on recent U.S. poverty statistics.
Also, on our website are links to more information and resources, e.g. on fair trade month, an Ecological Examen and a Pledge for the feast of St. Francis, and “101 days of Peace for Sudan.”
Work of Human Hands: this education/economic development program of Catholic Relief Services seems to be receiving even more attention from our parishes and schools this year – blessings on all those sales from now on through Advent!
JustFaith: there are 20 parishes and groups participating in JustFaith programs this year! Our thanks to all of you who have helped to engage people in “gathering and sending” in Jesus’ mission. And our thanks to those planning and participating in the JustFaith graduates’ Fall gathering on October 9 (on “creation on the environment”).
