I am visiting friends in Kansas City MO this week. A magazine in the home of my friends is entitled "Shambhala Sun: Buddhism, Culture, Meditation Life." Thich Nhat Hanh is pictured on the cover - and rightfully so. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, poet, scholar, and human rights activist. In 1967, he was nominated by Dr Martin Luther King Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize. he is author of more than sixty books, including Being Peace, Calming the Fearful Mind, Blooming of a Lotus, Moment of Mindfulness and Touching the Earth. he lives at Plum Village, his meditation center in France, and travels world wide leading retreats on the art of mindful living.
An article in this monthly magazine "Shambhala Sun", begins with these words:
"Waking Up to your world: Throughout your day you can pause, take a break from your usual thoughts, and wake up to the magic and vastness of the world around you. this easy and spacious type of mindfulness practice is the most important thing we can do with our lives."
This reminds of the Center for Exceptional Living where I went for therapy 15 years ago. All was about living consciously, to be conscious every moment of what one is doing and especially why, the reasons behind one's actions. Those two years of therapy were a great gift to me and influenced greatly my Franciscan community living and my preaching. God's truth and love are available for all of us in so many places, cultures, religions, people. Thanks be to God!

The Word of God Synod in Rome
On October 24, 2008, the c. 245 Bishops issued their final Message of the Word of God Synod.
This was the 12th Synod of Bishops of the World called by the Popes since Vatican II. The Synod is an ongoing way for the Pope to hear the voices of God's people through their Bishops. The Synod is a formal setting in Rome for usually four weeks - the 245 Bishops, 45 experts in the topic to be discussed, other religious leaders of various faiths. During this Synod, the Catholic Bishops heard from a Rabbi from Israel and from Bartholomeo I, Patricarch of the Ortodox Church in Istanbul -truly major breakthroughs on Inter-Faith dialog.
The Topic was The Word of God. In the ten page Final Message of Word of God Synod, we find so beautifully written, a contemporary, challenging and inviting message to read and reflect daily on the Word of God. The Bishops propose a spritual journey consisting of four phases that will carry us from all eternity and the infinite nature of God to our homes and the streets of our cities.
1) The Voice of the Word: The Revelation (Creation, Humanity, History)
2) The Face of the Word: Jesus Christ(The Word was made Flesh-the heart of Chrsitian Faith)
3) The House of the Word: The Church (Preaching, Breading of Bread, Prayer, Christian Love)
4) The Roads of the Word: Mission (Communication in all ways: Internet, Blogs, TV, Movies...)

Word of God: Care for the Alien/Immigrant & Poor
Peace and Everything Good to you and your loved ones!
I am working on my homily for this coming Sunday - October 26. I will be preaching at the Motherhouse of the Franciscans Sisters in Wheaton IL. The first of the three Scripture passages that the Sisters will hear is the same that all Catholics throughout the world will hear - from the Book of Exodus Chapter 22: 20-26. This is one of the major laws, rules, commands of the Lord God to care for the alien, the widow, the orphan, and poor neighbors ("lend money to the poor without demanding interest" and return a poor neighbor's cloak before sunset).
How does this direct, practical, concrete Word of God effect our dealings with immigrants and the poor? God's protection of the poor is the frequent testimony of the psalms. In this Exodus Reading, we read that the administration of God's protection of Israel's resident aliens, widows, orphans, and poor has been entrusted to the people itself. The people - that is us today, of course - must vigilantly protect them and punish whoever harms them. If it would remain faithful to God, Israel cannot tolerate the oppression of its most vulnerable. And the same goes for us - we cannot tolerate the oppression of immigrants and of the poor.
St John Chrysostom writes: "Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs." There's a challenge! There's the rub! There's the invitation to conversion and freedom.
We Franciscans of the Sacred Heart Province sponsor and founded the Franciscan Outreach with its two locations: Franciscan House of Mary and Joseph - a shelter with 250 beds, and Marquard Center - a food kitchen that serves 250 meals each day and offers laundry service and showers to the homeless. Check out this one way to care for the alien and poor: www.franoutreach.org.

Three Cups of Tea: Promoting Peace
I am reading an inspiring, challenging, and motivating book based on the life experience of Greg Mortenson. The Title of the Book is "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. Tom Brokaw comments on the book with these words: "Thrilling...proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world."
This is Greg Mortenson's journey - one man's mission to promote peace...one school at a time.
Why the title: Three Cups of Tea? Hagi Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan tells us the meaning of three cups of tea: "Here in Pakistan and Afghanistan, we drink three cups of tea to do business: the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and third, you join our family, and for our family we are prepared to do anything -- even die."
In 1993, a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. "Three Cups of Tea" is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools - especially for girls - in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at one a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
A great read, a challenging invitation to build something that will bring hope and meaning!
If you have read this book, or are reading this tale of changing peoples' lives, share your reflections. Or, if you are looking for a good book that will take you on transforming journey,
do read "Three Cups of Tea."

Immigration: Catholic Unstanding and Commitment
Perceived Myth: Catholic Bishops (Church) support illegal immigration
Known Fact:
The Catholic Church and the Bishops do not condone unlawful entry or
circumventions of our nation’s immigration laws. The bishops believe that
reforms are necessary for our immigration system to respond to the realities of
separated families and labor demands that compel people to immigrate to the
United States in an authorized and unauthorized fashion. (Source: I Was a
Stranger, and You Welcome Me: Meeting Christ in New Neighbors Indiana Catholic
Bishops)
Why is the church so concerned about immigration?
The Catholic Church does not support unlawful entry into the U.S. or any country. The
Church respects the right of nations to control their borders and to enact laws in the best
interest of its citizens. Yet the Church teaches that some rights are inherent in the
human condition; these are natural rights, which extend beyond all national boundaries.
All immigrants, legal and illegal, have natural rights from their inherent dignity as
persons. Each is created in the image of God. (Gaudium et Spes)
All people should have their basic needs met in their homeland but have the right to
seek basic needs abroad if they cannot be met at home. The dignity of the human
person must be respected and priority must be given to family (re)unification. The
Church responds to immigrants not from their legal status but from the dictates of our
belief and teaching. While an action or immigration status can be illegal, a person can
never be illegal.
Nations may regulate borders to provide for national security, tranquility and prosperity,
but the right to regulate borders is not absolute. Regulations must promote the common
good, which includes not only members of the nation but also the universal human
family. (Catechism of Catholic Church)
The Church in the U.S. is especially mindful of the immigrant because it is an immigrant
Church, made up of people from all parts of earth.
The Church has a responsibility to assist the newcomer. In Scripture, God calls upon his
people to care for the alien. “So, you, too, must befriend the alien, for you were once
aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt” (Deut 10: 17-19). And in chapter 25 of the Gospel
of Matthew, Jesus identifies with the marginalized and commands us to respond when
he said, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me”.

A Pro-Life Litany
I will be attending the Call to Action Conference in Milwaukee WI, Nov.7-9. One of the dictums we learned in Theology Class in the 1960's is this: Ecclesia Semper Reformanda Est! The Church must always be reformed! This is another way of saying what Jesus preached: Repent! Change your ways! CTA (Call to Action) is one of the voices that calls us the Church to repentance and conversion. We are called to change our hearts and minds according to the Gospel message.
Check out CTA at www.cta-usa.org.
Today I received the Call to Action Church Watch Newsletter. There I read:
A Pro-Life Litany
I am more than pro-birth, I am pro-life.
I do not believe in unprovoked wars (which kill innocent people). I am pro-life.
I condemn torture. I am pro-life
I do not believe in the death penalty. I am pro-life.
I believe those we incarcerate must be taught skills so they can live in society. I am pro-life.
I work to eliminate racism. I am pro-life.
I do not believe that we should give obscene smounts of money to oppressive governments. I am pro-life.
I do not believe our government should train other governments to produce death squads. I am pro-life
I believe that everyone in the world should be able to live with healthful conditions. I am pro-life.
I believe that the social teachings of the church provide a strong foundation beyond being just pro-birth. I am pro0-life.
I am more than pro-birth. I am pro-life..
As Jesus says in Matthew's Gospel: "Now, what do you think?"

Voting and the Common Good
Every four years since 1976 the Catholic Bishops of the United States have produced a statement in advance of the election: "Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility." The 2004 edition of this document states,
"Politics in this election year and beyond should be about an old idea with new power - the common good. The central question should not be 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?' It should be, 'How can we - all of us, especially the weak and vulnerable - be better off in the years ahead? How can we protect and promote human life and dignity? How can we pursue greater justice and peace?'"
The document details principles of Catholic social teaching to serve as yardsticks for voters.
Before we vote, it would serve us well to read this years' statement: www.usccb.org

Shalom! Salaam! Just Do It!
Someone gave me a T-Shirt with those words on the front of the shirt.
Just Do It! Nike uses those words for its motto. I think Jesus is always
telling us the same: Love one another. When we start to complain of how
difficult it is to love this person or that person, Jesus jumps in and simply
says - Just Do It!
Making Peace! - But it is so difficult! The Lord says, the Needs of our country and world
shout to us: Just do it!
So, how today, can you and I be peacemakers? How can we bring peace based on justice
to our world - to your world of family, friends, office, neighborhood.
One way is to hold precious, in our minds and hearts, words of peace, blessings of peace for all.
Did you ever stand in your home and face the north, then the east, then the south, then the
west. Raise your hands toward each direction and pray peace on all who live in that direction.
Send peace-filled energy and love to all who struggle for peace in that direction - in Iraq, in
India, in Columbia and Cuba, in Korea and Viet Nam, into the home and hearts of neighbors......
What can you and I do today to bring greater Peace on earth?

Quincy IL -
Hello from Quincy IL. I drove the almost five hours today, Monday October 13, from Chicago
to Quincy IL. I will be here for three days to visit Franciscan Friars and three classmates from
the seminary days of 1954. We Friars built a school here in 1861. This school has become Quincy University. In the 1960's we built a college seminary in Quincy, about a mile from the University Campus. My first visit to Quincy was in 1958 when I was a senior in the high school seminary in Westmont, IL. We Friars also serve in the parish of St Francis Solanus across the street from the University.
Lincoln-Douglas debated in Quincy in 1858. Quincy is built on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. Mark Twain territory - Hannibal, MO is only ten miles down river. The last time I was here was nine years ago. Will be back in Chicago on Thursday.
Have any of you ever been to Quincy or attended our Franicscan Quincy College, now University?
May the Lord give you Peace!

Hi Father Chuck:
Not running the Chicago Marathon today but, here in Belleville, Ontario, I've been conducting a gardening marathon for over a year .
The Other Side of the River Gardeners' motto is creating a safe neighbourhood one flower at a time. The west side of the city is reported as having the lowest income per capita.
The Other Side of the River Gardeners' motto is creating a safe neighbourhood one flower at a time. The west side of the city is reported as having the lowest income per capita.
Landowners who participate allow us to plant trees and flowers. Their cost is soil and mulch. Perennials are donated by local nurseries and fellow gardeners. The adult labour is free and if we hire unemployed youth, they are paid $10 an hour.
Litter has decreased and gardens have not been vandalized. People stop and thank us for creating the flower beds for them.
When we plant on city land, we don't ask permission. What is asked is forbidden, what is done is forgiven.
Just want to encourage you to run a gardening marathon. Create beautiful street scapes which green our urban areas, reduce crime and improve mental health.
Donna
Pro- Life: All Life
Here at our Friary called Antonianum (St. Anthony's Place) the four of us Friars pray together every morning. One of our petitions at Morning Prayer is for the abundant out-pouring of the
Holy Spirit on all Americans as we prepare to chose our next President. I have a great concern
that some people are narrowing their choice based on one issue. I cannot understand that approach. There are so many issues - justice, peace, health-care, education, child-care, aids, etc.
All of these issues are about Life and for them all we need to be Pro-Life. Only to choose or focus on one issue is missing the forest because of looking at only one tree. There is a forest of needs and life/justice issues that we all need to look at, pray over, listen to and discuss what is being proposed.
May the Holy Spirit aid us all in this time of discernment.
May the Lord give you Peace and Everything Good!
