The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano publishes a monthly supplement titled Women-Church-World. The November issue is dedicated to the theme 'Daughters of Mother Earth' and features an image of Pachamama on the cover. A November 15 interview presents Sister Adele Howard of the Sisters of Mercy from Australia. The introduction repeatedly uses the expression “Mother Earth”, describing the planet as a nurturing reality and claiming that “in the Earth there is the breath of the Creator God”. Humans “have within us the keys to connect with our mother.” Sister Howard states that “through nature, God fills us with vital energy.” Indigenous people are presented as models because they “perceive the sacredness of the Earth” and are "great masters." After spending forty years among indigenous people, Sister Howard says that she can now "feel the whispers of Creation, its tears, which are the same as those of the poor". She recounts meeting an Aboriginal elder at a waterhole who told her …More

Ml 3:19-20a “For you who fear my name, the sun of justice will arise with healing in its wings.” The word “fear” means you who welcome me. 2 Th 3:7-12 “Work quietly.” “Let them work in peace.” By being at peace with the Lord, work becomes leisure. Lk 21:5-19 Jesus declares to them: “The days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Here too, Jesus leads us to the realities of heaven. The earth, that of which is earthly, existence will pass away, but the Love of God, the only Word of God, remains. God's love is; we can’t take nothing away from it, and add nothing to it.

"How I love my Mother! What would have become of me, if I had not had Our Lady? She has preserved me from countless dangers. Ah, my dear Mother, I will love Thee always and forever!" - St. Gemma Galgani
Key phrase from comments: "The Grey nuns and the Oblate fathers did not teach in residential schools to abuse and kill the Indigenous children. It’s a huge political myth being used for profits and control."
1 M 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-64 "In those days there appeared in Israel transgressors of the law who seduced many, saying: “Let us go and make a covenant with the Gentiles all around us.'" Oh, to stray from the Love of God leads to evil. Letting oneself be Loved by God distances oneself from evil. Lk 18:35-43 "He follows Jesus, giving glory to God." The man who has regained his sight and of whom Jesus says, "Your faith has saved you," discovers the joy and peace of God within himself. By remaining with the Lord, in His Love, he can give glory to God throughout his existence. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.

Beato Giovanni Liccio Sacerdote domenicano Festa: 14 novembre Caccamo, Palermo, 1426/30 - 14 novembre 1511 Giovanni Licci fu discepolo e continuatore di Pietro Geremia nell'opera della restaurazione della vita regolare nei conventi Domenicani di Sicilia. Nacque nel 1426 a Caccamo; la madre morì nel darlo alla luce e lui venne da una zia. Giunto ai quindici anni, essendosi recato a Palermo, entrò nella Chiesa di Santa Zita, tenuta dai Domenicani, per confessarsi. Qui incontrò padre Geremia, il quale, scorgendo in quel giovane la divina chiamata, lo invitò ad entrare nell'Ordine. Giovanni si fece molto onore nello studio e Dio gli fece il dono di saperla esporre con tanta forza da riuscire a convertire i più induriti peccatori. Fondò nel suo paese natale un Convento di cui fu il primo priore. Compiva con la più grande semplicità i più strepitosi miracoli. Dopo la sua morte, avvenuta il 14 novembre 1511, i ventiquattro ceri accesi intorno al suo cadavere arsero senza consumarsi. …More
