The guiding spirit behind BGR, through this decade, has been what I call “conscientious compassion.” Com- passion in itself is the quality that “makes the hearts of good people tremble with the suffering of others” (as the Visuddhimagga defines it). But for com- passion to become an effective antidote to suffering, it must leap out from the inner recesses of the heart into the field of action in a determined effort to liberate others from suffering. This effort is underscored by the word “con- scientious,” a reminder that the call of conscience bids us put compassion into action.

  • Charity, Patience and Tenderness Are Very Beautiful Gifts. If You Have Them, You Want to Share Them with Others
    GIFT of TIME Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others. - Pope Francis ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT GIFT of TIME Caritas Australia The Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development Dorothy is a long-time supporter of Caritas Australia. Inspired by her faith and passion for social justice, Dorothy speaks about why she has decided to place Caritas in her Will. I first learned about Caritas when I was a child at school and vividly recall collecting coins for the Project Compassion Box. Giving to Caritas Australia has made me a much Photo: Sudan, Caritas Internationalis happier person. I feel empowered, knowing that we’re doing something for the most marginalised. The sense of concern that I sometimes feel thinking “Giving to Caritas about the poverty and suffering in the world today, has been taken away by knowing where my money is going Australia has made me a and that it’s going to a good cause. The last time I get to speak to people most important in much happier person” my life will be through my Will. I have great faith in Caritas Australia’s ability to end poverty and uphold people’s dignity. Caritas doesn’t tell its partners what to do but walks alongside them. There are so many charities out there, but I know that with Caritas, I’m giving in the right way, to a place that has good governance, a good development approach and spends minimally on administration. I can recommend Caritas wholeheartedly. 2 The Catholic Weekly GIFT of TIME 2020-2021 Leaving a Legacy of Love.

    Pāli Texts for Chanting (Source: The Mirror of the Dhamma, Buddhist Publication Society, Wheel no. 54; file:///C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Documents/BPS/Mirror%20of%20Dhamma.pdf) Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammāsambuddhassa Homage to Him, the Blessed One, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One Homage to the Buddha Iti pi so bhagavā: arahaṃ, sammāsambuddho, vijjācaraṇa sampanno, sugato, lokavidū, anuttaro purisadammasārathi, satthā devamanussānaṃ, buddho, bhagavā’ti. Thus, indeed, is that Blessed One the worthy one, fully enlightened, endowed with clear vision and virtuous conduct, sublime, the knower of worlds, the unsurpassed trainer of persons to be tamed, the teacher of gods and humans, the Enlightened One, the Blessed One. Namo tassa Sammāsambuddhassa Homage to that Perfectly Enlightened One!

Uttamaṅgena vande’ham—pāda-paṃsu varuttamaṃ Buddhe yo khalito doso—buddho khamatu taṃ mamaṃ I revere with my head The dust on his holy feet; If I have wronged the Buddha, May the Buddha bear with me. Buddhaṃ yāvanibbānapariyantaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi Until I attain nibbāna I go for Refuge to the Buddha. Homage to the Dhamma Svākkhāto bhagavatā dhammo, sandiṭṭhiko, akāliko, ehipassiko, opanayiko, paccattaṃ veditabbo viññūhī’ti. The Dhamma of the Blessed One is well expounded, visible here and now, not delayed in time, inviting one to come and see, applicable, to be personally realized by the wise.

    Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Caritas Internationalis is a global confederation of 164 Catholic organisations under the umbrella of the Holy See, which responds to humanitarian disasters, promotes integral human development and lobbies on the causes of poverty and violence. Inspired by Christian faith and gospel values, Caritas works in most of the world’s countries with the poor and oppressed, vulnerable and excluded, regardless of race or religion. It promotes just and fraternal societies where the dignity of every human being is enhanced. Depending on the size of the Catholic community and the will of their bishops’ conference, Caritas national members range from small entities to some of the world’s largest social, humanitarian and development organisations. Combined, they have over a million staff and volunteers. Caritas Internationalis has a General Secretariat in Rome, which coordinates the confederation’s response to major humanitarian emergencies, supports members and advocates on their behalf for a better world, based on justice, compassion and fraternity. Caritas Internationalis also has delegations in New York and Geneva representing the confederation at the United Nations. The Caritas delegations work with other international institutions and nongovernmental organisations and in close association with the Permanent Missions of the Holy See. Caritas Internationalis is made up of seven regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, North America and Oceania. 2 Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Contents 4 One Human Family, Zero Poverty By Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, President 5 Introduction By Michel Roy, Secretary General 6 60th anniversary and the General Assembly: Caritas looking back, moving forward 10 Emergencies: Compassion in action 18 Advocacy: A voice for change 24 Building the confederation 26 Summary of Emergency Appeals 2011 30 Financial information Front Cover: Caritas supports a water project in this Kenyan South Sudan becomes village after a independent.

  • Outcome and Activity Report 2020
    EN Doc 4 Regional Conference 2021 Report of the Secretary General Outcome and Activity Report 2020 EN Doc 4 Regional Conference 2021 Report of the Secretary General Introduction With this report we provide a snapshot of the work undertaken by Caritas Europa in 2020. The year was deeply marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had, and continues to have, an enormous impact on the European region and the whole world, affecting the people that Caritas serves the most. As for any crisis, it is the people in the most vulnerable situations that are the first victims and face most severe consequences. What I carry firmly in my heart from this year, however, is that it has become clearer than ever that Caritas stands with, and continues to support, the people in the most difficult and challenging situations. The whole Caritas family had as its motto ‘Caritas doesn’t close’. It has been incredible to see how Caritas has adapted its ways of working to the situation. These shifts have not been easy, but there has been an impressive willingness to do what it takes to support the people we are called to serve as Caritas. We have also seen many beautiful signs of solidarity in many countries. At Caritas Europa, we adapted our ways of working to the COVID reality, and it our wish was to be close to the member organisations throughout the pandemic, collecting stories and experiences and discussing them in peer exchanges, so solutions could be shared to support sister Caritas organisations. We learnt new ways of working, and truly realised that working ‘in silos’ is unfit for the times we are living in, when everything is interconnected.
