This world in arms is not spending money
alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers,
the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The scjs in the Philippines have published a pocket calendar for the Jubilee Year. This logo appears on the back cover. An important use for the calendar will be as a vocation promotion piece. The following prayer is taken from the back inside cover: We thank you Father, for revealing to us the mystery of your love in your Son, Jesus.
Through the mystery of the cross, we receive from his opened Heart the gift of redemption and the outpouring of your Holy Spirit.
In the blood and water we acknowledge your many blessings which make us a priestly people and faithful servants in your kingdom of love.
In union with Christ, who restored all things to you, we give ourselves humbly to the mission of the church in your plan of salvation. Amen.
Please

Dehon
Photo of the WeekThe importance of the experience of the First Vatican Council for Dehon's ultramontane convictions, for his universal ecclesiastical horizon and for the numerous contacts at the highest levels of the Church is well known from many of his writings. Therefore this week [Stefan Tertünte] will be exclusively presenting some anecdotes chosen from Dehon's diary, which give an inside look into both Dehon's humor and the Council itself (CF. Council).
Dehon
in Canada and America
Paul J. McGuire (US) was kind enough to offer our website an electronic (computer) copy of his recent work In Canada and America: Selections from Father Dehon's Diary. This week Fr. Dehon takes a short trip from Chicago across northern Illinois to Dubuque, Iowas. His interest in starting a new mission in the United States is what attracts him to this typical Midwestern city (cf. Dubuque).
