The images of destruction and devastation brought to us through the media are indeed vivid and must move us into action as we seek to be united with our brothers and sisters who await our help in this their moment of need. Our response of SOLIDARITY can be expressed at various levels: 1. We can unite ourselves with all those affected through prayer. In our homes and places of worship let us unite in our prayer for those who have died and their families who mourn their loss; for those who have lost so much and in some cases everything and must now rebuild their lives, homes and communities. They must know and feel the power of our solidarity in prayer. 2. We can in our own various ways offer physical assistance by donating what we can for the immediate needs of our brothers and sisters who are suffering: water, non-perishable food items, mattresses, bed linen and blankets, clothes, etc.

XVI LITTERAE DECRETALES I Quibus Beatae Gertrudi Comensoli Sanctorum honores decernuntur. BENEDICTUS EPISCOPUS servus servorum dei ad perpetuam rei memoriam « Omnia possum in eo, qui me confortat » (Philp 4, 13). Hoc est verbum quod in beatae Gertrudis Comensoli corde reperitur et quo ipsius imbuitur vita. Necessitudinem cum Iesu experitur tamquam mysticam coniunctionem, amantem cognitionem, quae efficit ut Iesum veluti suum Dominum ea percipiat, videlicet Eum qui eiusdem infirmitates susti- nere potest aeque ac eius studium divinae voluntati adhaerendi, Ipsius personae se conformandi. Hac de re scripsit: « Mi Iesu, similem tui me redde ... verum exemplar mei amoris Crucifixi. “Omnia possum in eo, qui me confortat” (Philp 4, 13) » (Opera: Note intime). Cum se imparem Deo vocanti, communioni plus plusque requirendae, animadverteret atque cum vereretur ne novae institutionis difficultatibus subvenire posset, quam iudicat a Deo flagitatam, haec in altam pacem plenamque satisfactionem reciderunt, cum Ei se committeret qui eius passus dirigeret eiusque proposita adimpleret. 866 Acta Apostolicae Sedis – Commentarium Officiale Beata Gertrudis Comensoli in pago Brienno Brixiae die XVIII mensis Ianuarii anno MDCCCXLVII nata est. Ex familia admodum christiana atque paroeciali communitate rectitudinis solidarietatisque, parcae vitae amoris, quietarum necessitudinum laetitiae necnon Providentiae confidentiae sensum excipit. Vivax ac sensibilis Iesu in sacra Eucharistia praesenti animadvertit delectamentum. Incoercito concitata desiderio, septem annos nata furtim primum sacram communionem accepit. Prima est illius itineris pars, quae eam inducit ad Deo se totam consecrandam atque ad personale propositum perficiendum: id est institutum condendum, eucharisticae adorationi destinatum.

  • RTS Announces Nominations for the Craft
    PRESS RELEASE ROYAL TELEVISION SOCIETY ANNOUNCES NOMINATIONS FOR THE CRAFT & DESIGN AWARDS 2020 London, 4 November 2020 – The Royal Television Society (RTS), Britain’s leading forum for television and related media, has shortlisted the nominations for its 2020 Craft & Design Awards, supported by Netflix. The BBC leads the way with 46 nominations across its channels, with BBC One and HBO’s hit shows, His Dark Materials receiving four and I May Destroy You garnering three nominations respectively. Sky follows the BBC with 10 nominations with Gangs of London, Brassic and Catherine the Great all shortlisted. The prestigious awards will be celebrated on Monday 23rd November on the RTS website with special guest appearances. The RTS Craft & Design Awards celebrate excellence in broadcast television and aim to recognise the huge variety of skills and processes involved in programme production across 31 competitive categories ranging from Make Up Design: Drama to Director: Multicamera, alongside the RTS Special Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award which are both given at the discretion of the RTS. Chair of the Awards, Anne Mensah, said: “The standard of television this year has been incredible and provided audiences with both comfort and escapism, as well as new and underrepresented perspectives, in what has been such a turbulent time for all of us. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the talented individuals and teams who continue to produce world class content, later this month.” The Craft & Design Awards accept entries from both individual craftspeople and broadcasters, and the juries take into consideration production difference, budget and time scale involved.

  • A Pastoral Letter: New Ways of Being Church in a Digital Milieu
    1 A Pastoral Letter: New Ways of Being Church in a Digital Milieu INTRODUCTION 1. Good News to the poor is the mission and goal of all pastoral communications (see Luke 4:18). Through signs, gestures, words, books, moving images, audio, and social communications, the Church has sought to proclaim her message so that all people will hear it in their own native language (see Acts 2:11). To be faithful to this mission of evangelizing communications to the people of the Caribbean today, we will need a new missionary spirit, one that is built upon participation, dialogue, and collaboration and one that speaks to the heart, soul, and religious imagination of our Antillean people. We need a new way of being Church! 2. It is the Lord who sends: Go proclaim—communicate—the Good News “and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…’ (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ himself communicates, in his mission, on all levels of human interaction. He preaches and teaches to the masses using stories, parables, and statements and shares in smaller groups with his apostles and disciples. He meets individuals like Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, and others in deep and very personal sharing. Evangelizing communication builds on this example of Jesus Christ, always trying to meet people where they are—at their level of knowledge, feeling, and understanding—to bring them from their own life experience closer to the Father and eternal life. 3. The parable of the Good Samaritan emphasizes the relationship possibilities presented by a heart imbued with charity, mercy, and compassion. If anything, the digital age, with its new opportunities and limitations, has helped us to be able to reflect on this relationship in new ways.
