Hi everyone! I want to make you aware of an event on Restorative Justice that our NNVP (Newman Non-Violent Peace Making Group) is sponsoring. You can be involved by clicking the link below. Fr. Bill What are Restorative Justice Programs?
Restorative programs are characterized by four key values: Encounter: Create opportunities for victims, offenders and community members who want to do so to meet to discuss the crime and its aftermath. Amends: Expect offenders to take steps to understand the harm and take responsibility to repair the harm they have caused. Reintegration: Seek to restore victims and offenders to wholeness, as contributing members of society. Inclusion: Provide opportunities for parties with a stake in a specific crime to participate in its resolution.
If you are interested in going to the San Francisco conference as a group or would like more information about it, please contact Eli Sasaran McCarthy at eli_trinity@hotmail.com or 510-717-8867 or visit http://restorejustice.com. Each attendee will receive a copy of the U.S. Bishops' statement, Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice; The Little Book of Restorative Justice by Howard Zehr; and a complimentary lunch. To register, visit http://tinyurl.com/y8kbnf2 or call Eli at the number above.
Every year there is a Eucharistic Minister training. Due to the transient nature of student life there is always a need for new students to apply. If you would like to come, just show up this Thursday at 7pm. Here are the dates of the training: Oct 22, 29, Nov 5, 19 Hope to see you there! Fr. Bill

Prayer
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen

Prayer
Open our Minds and Hearts
I pray that we may at all times keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma; that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings and our connectedness with the natural world; that we may become ever more filled with generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life.
I pray that we may learn the peace that comes with forgiving and the strength we gain in loving; that we may learn to take nothing for granted in this life; that we may learn to see and understand with our hearts; that we may learn to join in our being.

Prayer
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.
St. Patrick
