Please mark your calendars and register
for Spirit Unbounded's online event (also with live events in Bristol
and Rome) October 8-14, 2023. There is a stellar lineup of over 70
ecumenical speakers, activists, poets… relating to the issues of "Human
Rights in the Catholic Church” and opportunities to connect with reform
minded folks from around the world.

“Human
Rights in the Catholic Church” Event Brings Together Global Speakers to
Address Questions of the Working Document for the Universal Synod in
Rome
Spirit Unbounded, the global community of Catholic reform and other
Christian and ecumenical networks that share a vision of a just and
inclusive church, welcomes the novel approach of the Instrumentum
Laboris (IL) for the universal synod in Rome on 4–29 October. By asking
questions rather than making declarative statements, the IL serves as a
true working document. It leaves room for synod participants to
discuss, debate, and discern together, and to conceive of new
practices, both structural and theological, to help the church become
more welcoming.
Spirit
Unbounded Brings a Wealth of Diverse Global Voices to October 8–14 Event
“Human Rights in the Catholic Church,” a weeklong
event organized
and hosted by Spirit Unbounded and scheduled to coincide with the
synod, will feature over seventy speakers representing all seven of the
synod’s Continental Assemblies (Africa and Madagascar, Asia, Europe,
Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, North America, and
Oceania). The diversity of speakers in terms of location, church
experience, and focus will offer participants an opportunity to engage
the questions of the Instrumentum Laboris in substantive and original
ways. Early Bird tickets are now on
sale here.

Growing in Wisdom: Seeking Deeper Generativity is
a two-year program for those who are embracing the second half of life
and who are longing to explore the spiritual invitations of their
wisdom years. How do I give my life to the world? And how do I prepare
for eventual illness, diminishment and death, so that my death is my
final blessing to my family, community and the world?
This program is rooted in the Forest Dwelling Program, Oblate School of
Theology, and the ground-breaking work of Fr. Ron Rolheiser OMI. The
program involves four 5-day intensives (September and February) over
two years, monthly meetings with other participants in Elder Circles, a
monthly meeting with a spiritual director, and optional monthly book
studies. The Growing in Wisdom program is primarily offered on zoom.
Applications are now being accepted for the September 2023 – June 2025
program. For more information, please contact Nancy Phillips,
Coordinator, growinginwisdom@outlook.com.
You are invited to watch a recording of Fr. Ron’s recent webinar “The
Fruits of My Life in the Wisdom Years":

Prayers of the Community during the Eucharist on August 26th
For the Church -- for equality in ministry; for humility, compassion, and justice in
leadership; and for wisdom in decision-making, we pray:
R. Help us to recognize Jesus in all we do.
For leaders everywhere -- of nations, of political parties, of advocacy groups, of faith
groups, in families – to lead with integrity, fairness, and love for all who count on them
for guidance and good decisions, we pray:
R. Help them to recognize the sacred in all they do.
For those who are endangered by flood, by wildfire, by forest fire, and by all natural
disasters, we pray:
R. May they find safety and solace in those who are coming to their aid.
For those whose lives are affected by war, poverty, abuse, discrimination, and other
wrongs, we pray:
R. May they find justice and the life Creator meant them to have.
For the physical healing of the earth, the emotional and physical healing of those who
suffer because of climate change, and for the strength of all humanity to work to
correct our failings in the care of creation, we pray:
R. Help us to be the change Jesus wants us to be.
For those who have died, those who are ill, and all who are in need of prayer for any
reason, including those already named and those who we hold in our hearts, we pray:
R. Help them feel your love and our compassion.
P: Gracious Holy One, help us to recognize Jesus in all we encounter and to act in service
in his name. R: Amen.
Prayer request from Kathy C.:
I ask the
Community to pray for a young man, Cassidy, seriously injured in a
swimming accident and with a spinal injury, in ICU and ventilated, for
his Mom Connie, and for his Grandfather who was admitted also with a
possible brain bleed. This family is so in need of our prayer support
at this time. Thank you!
Prayers of the Community during the Eucharist on July 23rd
P: Mindful of the bounteous gifts of the Divine Holy, we join our
voices with Mary as we proclaim as Woman Wisdom does, You who listen to
Me will have inner strength, and will live in peace, without fear.
All: You who listen to Me will have inner strength, and will live in peace, without fear.
V: We pray for all those who have responded to God/de’s call to
proclaim your good news and serve the people of Christ, particularly,
Lynn Lavictorie, who will be ordained to the diaconate on September
9th, Bishop Jane who is celebrating the 5th Anniversary of episcopal
ordination, and all those discerning their calls to be your
witnesses. R./
Bless all those who serve in governments, militaries, and
corporations. May they be good stewards of the roles entrusted to
them remembering the needs of those who are marginalized and of our
mother, the Earth. R./
We pray for all those who are displaced because of war, violence, or
weather. May they find a place of rest and respite from the daily
strife of their lives, and a welcome in countries that have the
resources to care for them. R./
As we listen to the voices of Woman Wisdom, Mary of Magdala, and women
who, through the generations, have served to bring peace, love, and
understanding to the people of God/de, we pray for the women who are
delegates to the Synod in Rome in October. R./
We pray for those who have died, especially Lucille Durocher and Len
Sheldon, the intentions of all those here present, those who pray
with us through this shared worship aid, and all the intentions listed
on our community bulletin board. R./
P: Special needs we pray for (pause)
God of all, we turn to you who are loving and who always hears us. Help
us to hear you and help us to speak justice and love in all of our
ways. We pray to you through your Son Jesus and in the unity of the
Holy Spirit. All: Amen.
