DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE FALL ACTION CAMPAIGN:
Independent peasant farmers produce about 30% of the world’s food supply. Other research suggests as much as 70-80% depends on the labour of peasant farmers. Despitetheir indispensable role in feeding people, peasant farmers face issues dealing with land title, human rights, industrial waste from nearby mining and increased flooding and drought caused by climate
change. But peasant farmers are not passive victims. They have organized powerful labour unions, social movements and solidarity with
international partners, like Development and Peace. One of the most significant gains is the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP) in
2018.
In this year’s “Fall Action Campaign” Development and Peace is asking for your support in petitioning our Federal Government to adopt and strengthen
human rights and environmental legislation that would require Canadian corporations to prevent, report and remedy all violations of human and
environmental rights throughout their global supply chains and to establish a legal right for people to hold them accountable in Canadian courts. Express your support on the weekend
of February 8th and 9th.

4 YOUTH:
Today is the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time; it forms the largest part of the Church’s liturgical year. It is the time in the liturgical year which is not part of a special season (Advent, Christmas, Lent or Easter). Why is it called Ordinary Time? Well, its not because it is unimportant, boring or
routine! It’s because the weeks are numbered. (The Latin word ordinals refers to numbers in a series.) During Ordinary Time the Scripture readings focus on the events of Jesus’ life between
His Birth and His Death and Resurrection. This is Year C of the three year schedule cycle of Sunday Readings with the majority of the Sunday Gospels
of Luke. During Ordinary Time we reflect on the way that Jesus lived and the things that He taught so that we might become more like Him
REFLECTION:
Healing the wounds of the heart:
All of us are wounded by sin.
The part of us which is most deeply damaged by sin is the heart.
The heart is so beautiful, so innocent, but it can be betrayed, scorned and broken.
Darkness of heart is the blackest night of all.
Emptiness of heart is the greatest poverty of all.
A heavy heart is the most wearisome burden of all.
A broken heart is the most painful would of all.
Only love can heal the wounds of the heart.
Lord, send your Holy Spirit to us, to heal the wounds of our hearts so that we may produce the fruits of love.

March are now available at the Cathedral.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MARRIAGE COLLAPSES: There is much sadness and many lives are disrupted. The Church, faithful to the mind of Christ, believes it has a special ministry to such couples. Now, more than ever, these may need the church to help them move forward. An annulment is the church’s declaration, issued in the name of God, that the consent necessary to
bring about a valid marriage was so lacking that, it didn’t take place. Since marriage is public by its nature, such a process involves a Church operated
investigation. If you are in such circumstances or know of someone else who is in the same situation, don’t hesitate to come see us and encourage others to do so. We would gladly sit with you and assist you in the healing and peach the Church has from the Risen Lord to offer.
