Well put John. My take on it is that the internal pulse is that which shapes or engenders the external pulse, it is therefore a critical imperative to gestate and nurture the pulse within, lest it generates undesired expressions which plunges the abandoned further down into utter misery. "We love because God loved us first" 1 Jn 4:19.

Passionist Solidarity petition for Fr. Mario Bartolini of Peru

Fr. Mario Bartolini, CP is a Passionist in Peru who works in defense of the peasants basic human and property rights with respect to their native land in the Amazon region of Peru, where he is serving as a parish priest.


Fr. Mario is in the midst of serious legal problems as a consequence of his efforts in defense of small landowners in Barranquita where he ministers. These peasents own only small parcels of land which are all that they possess and which they work in order to feed and clothe their families, including their aged parents.

The Passionist Synod in Rome, along with the General Superior and his Council, are asking for the International Passionist Family to support the ministry and human rights efforts of Fr. Bartolini by signing on to a petition of solidarity that urges the courts of Peru to recognize the position of social and legal justice for the peasents of Barranquita and to recognize their rights to possess their own traditional land over the economic desires of powerful multinational businesses interests.

Please sign the petition by clicking on the link above.

That was an epic moment Br. Ed. I think most people (including myself) were speechless and amazed at such an application of the Christian principle. I am also led to think about the book "The Shack." Thank you,

This gospel this week makes me reflect on the book Amish Grace and how the people of Nickel Mines Pennsylvania reacted to the killings at their school. They took the Lord's Prayer serious and offered forgiveness. Forgiveness is a real answer to social justice problems at times.

what's going on? Holy Family Cristo Rey HS is concluding year III with all grads going to college.
we are trying to figure how we are going to manage a deficit to raise in the next three years. It will take all of that time to get to a point where we are covering at least 60% of our operations with students' salaries.
Breaking the cycle of pverity coes not come free when it involves formal education. alex

During the summer I will be working on some JPIC parish and retreat program. But I also am working on a Passionist Parish binder to share resources and promote programs throughout our parish ministries. I will be in Birmingham to promote parish networking with this resource but let me know if you also have a parish that you would like me to network with. Peace,

Durante el verano yo trabajaré en desarollando programas de JPIC para parroquias y retiros. Pero yo también estoy trabajando en la creacion de un recurso para Parroquia de los Pasionistas para compartir y promover programas Y informacion a través de nuestros ministerios de JPIC. Estaré en Birmingham para promover la interconexión de parroquia con este recurso. Pero si ustedes también tiene otra parroquia para repartir este recurso y interconexion porfavor deha me saber. paz,

John,
I liked your scriptural reflection for Divine Mercy Sunday. Yes, to keep on loving the Lord by taking care in so many ways of our hurting sisters and brothers! Immigration reform, encouraging those looking for work, extending forgiveness....so many beautiful ways.
