    International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists


    02/11/2024

    International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists 

    A brief introduction:

    Did you know?

    • 495 journalists were killed between 2014 and 2018, an 18% increase over the previous 5-years.
    • Only 131 cases of journalists’ killings are reported as being resolved since 2006, representing an overall impunity rate of 88%.
    • Beyond fatal attacks, journalists endured other violations such as physical attack, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, imprisonment and torture.
    • Harassment and other harmful acts are increasingly prevalent in the online sphere, and are especially dire for women journalists.
    • Syria was the most dangerous country for journalists, followed by Mexico and Afghanistan.
    • The Arab States region, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific account for more than three quarters of killings.      Source: UNESCO 2019

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY:

    God of truth,

    we give thanks this day for those who work in the media,

    investigating, communicating, holding people in power to account.

    We ask you to bless them with wisdom and strength -

    showering them with the sense of satisfaction that comes from a job well done!

    Give those who investigate crimes against journalists the courage and determination to bring perpetrators to account.

    We ask this in your holy name. AMEN

    International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict 

    A video (2:21) introducing this day!

    In the ongoing climate change catastrophe, conflicts relating to the use of natural resources, land and sheer survival are likely to increase.

    A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY:

    Creator God of peace,

    we pray this day for those places in the world where natural resources are destroyed in armed conflicts.

    We ask for leaders of all nations and groups not to weaponise the environment.

    We pray for dialogue to be at the heart of conflict resolution.

    We ask for your guidance in our own lives that we might be peacemakers

    for, it is in learning to resolving individual conflicts peacefully,

    that we, as a global community, can learn to resolve bigger conflicts

    without destroying our Common Home.

    We ask this in your holy name. AMEN

     

    This is a really interesting video (2:24) from Stanford University about climate and conflict - very thought provoking!

    Creator God,

    we give thanks for the wonders of creation

    which science helps us understand and appreciate.

     

    Give inspiration to all doing scientific research – as they search for insight and truth;

    Give determination to all who apply science - in helping us live life in all its fullness;

    Give wisdom to decision makers - that science might always be used for the betterment of all who share this Common Home.

     

    We pray that science be instrumental in bringing us to that day

    when we will all live in peace;

    using, conserving and sharing equitably - the resources of this planet.

    So what about the silence?

     

     

    This is one of the most famous poems of the First World War - CLICK HERE to listen to In Flanders' Fields.

    Here's how this poem came to be written:

    A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY

    Lord of the nations -

    We remember with grateful hearts

    the men and women of our country

    who went forth to protect the liberty we enjoy

    but who did not return!

     

    Help us recognise the debt we owe them

    so that we may strive, in our own lives,

    to protect the freedoms

    that were won at so great a cost.

     

    And so we commit to your safekeeping

    those who have died in war;

    those whose memory we treasure;

    those who have sacrificed themselves

    in the service of humankind.

     

    Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord

    And let perpetual light shine upon them.

    May they rest in peace.  AMEN

    International Day for Tolerance 

    Here's a quite wonderful video (4 mins 17 secs)

    Which of these people do you:

    • most admire?
    • most agree with?
    • most want to be like?

    Perhaps tolerance is a simple as following the teaching of Jesus to "Treat others as you'd like to be treated!"

     

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY

    While the United Nations designates today an International Day for Tolerance,

    we know that you, God of all people, call us to something higher,

    to something beyond mere tolerance.

    We pray that you would enable and empower us to be people of love and compassion,

    who actively seek the good of the other and work to to that day when people from all tribes and tongues might come together in peace, embracing and delighting in our differences.

    Amen

    Children's Grief Awareness Week


    19/11/2024 25/11/2024

    Grief is something we all experience at some point in our lives. While no two people react in exactly the same way, there is much to learn from hearing about others' experiences and sharing our own when we feel able to.

    If you are grieving and want to talk to someone, do approach someone you trust.
    If someone who is grieving approaches you, don't worry - you won't make it worse. The worst has already happened. If they want to talk, just listen.

    Here are some reflections on what it can be like to lose someone.

     
    This is a video which you might find helpful:

     

    A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED

    Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,

    and let perpetual light shine upon them.

    May they rest in peace. AMEN

     

     

    A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING

    Jesus, healer and teacher,  

    you know what it is like to lose someone you love and you wept for your friend, Lazarus.

    Help me make sense of what is happening,

    because some days I feel angry, some days I feel lost,

    some days I feel helpless, some days I don't feel at all.

    Send me comfort and people to walk with me.

     

    Help me through this pain,

    and let treasured memories sustain me.

    Help me to have faith that my loved one is now with you,

    free from pain and worry.

     

    Help others who are grieving this same loss.

     

    I ask this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

    AMEN

     

    International Men's Day

    International Men's Day


    19/11/2024

    Imagine a group of people whose members:

    • suffer 70% of murders in the world;
    • account for 85% of homeless people;
    • serve 64% longer jail sentences than others in society;
    • die 4-5 years earlier than a similar sized group;
    • are twice as likely to die from heart disease or lung cancer than others.

    They're shocking statistics, aren't they?   By the way, the group in question is MEN!

    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? (1 mins 53 secs)

     

    This is an INTERESTING TAKE ON WHAT IT IS TO BE A MAN (2 mins 58 secs)

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available as a 1 minute video HERE)

    Loving God,

    we hold before you especially today - the men in our lives;

    help all of us to deepen our understanding of gender roles and expectations;

    that we might live life in all its fullness,

    building families, communities, societies and a world of openness and acceptance.

    Help us not to be bound by stereotypes

    but to enjoy the diverse nature of every human being.

     

    We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN

     

    World Toilet Day

    World Toilet Day


    19/11/2024

    Did you know that:

    • 4.2 billion people live without safely managed sanitation – more than half the global population. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)
    • 673 million people still practise open defecation worldwide. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)
    • Today, at least 2 billion people will have to use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces. (WHO 2019)
    • Inadequate sanitation is estimated to cause 432,000 diarrhoeal deaths every year and is a major factor in diseases such as intestinal worms, trachoma and schistosomiasis. (WHO 2019)
    • 297,000 children under five are estimated to die each year from diarrhoea as a result of unsafe drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene. (WHO 2019)

    All of the above is not because we don't have the technology!  After all, human beings went to the Moon over 50 years ago! Do we, and the governments who serve us, need to re-align some priorities?

     

    Let's spend a few moments imagining what it must feel like not to have a toilet.

    What might you have to do if there was no toilet available?

    Why might this have a disproportionate effect on females?

    What are the possible consequences of not having a toilet?

     

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY (from CAFOD)

    Loving God,

    we pray for a world of justice

    where everyone has access to

    a toilet and clean water.

    May all our sisters and brothers throughout the world

    be able to live in the dignity they deserve

    as children created in your image.

    Amen

    World Children’s Day

    World Children’s Day


    20/11/2024

    Welcome to World Children's Day!   This used to be called Universal Children's Day but the day has been re-branded!

    This day was set up in 1954 by the United Nations.   In 1959, the UN agreed its Declaration on the Rights of the Child.  In 1989 the Convention on the Rights of the Child became the most widely ratified international human rights treaty, setting out a number of children’s rights including:

    • the right to life,
    • to health,
    • to education
    • to play,
    • to family life,
    • to be protected from violence,
    • to not be discriminated,
    • and to have their views heard.

    Here's a short but brilliant video (1 min 17 secs) from the children of Yemen!

     


    Here's another video clip (2 mins 54 secs)  which gives a bit more information and which includes one particularly surprising fact about a country which does not give its children the same rights as others around the world!

     

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 minute video)

    Loving God,

    Jesus said "Let the children come to me"

    and so we pray for children around the world,

    that they will feel loved, valued, cared for and encouraged.

     

    We pray for adults that they will enable children

    to enjoy a childhood they can look back on happily.

     

    We pray too that all of us acknowledge each other - whatever our differences -   

    as children made in your image,

    who deserve to be treated with dignity and love.

     

    We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son,

    and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN

    International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

    International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women


    25/11/2024

    DID YOU KNOW .....?

    • 1 in 3 women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, most frequently by an intimate partner
    • Only 52% of women married or in a union freely make their own decisions about sexual relations, contraceptive use and health care
    • Worldwide, almost 750 million women and girls alive today were married before their 18th birthday;
    • 200 million women and girls have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM)
    • 1 in 2 women killed worldwide were killed by their partners or family in 2017; while only 1 out of 20 men were killed under similar circumstances
    • 71% of all human trafficking victims worldwide are women and girls, and 3 out of 4 of these women and girls are sexually exploited
    • Violence against women is as serious a cause of death and incapacity among women of reproductive age as cancer, and a greater cause of ill health than traffic accidents and malaria combined.

    Here's a video (2 mins 33 secs) which gives us all food for thought!

     

    PRAYER FOR TODAY  (available as a 1 minute video by CLICKING HERE)

    Loving God,

    we lift every girl and woman who has suffered or witnessed violence before you

    and ask you to send them your love and protection.

    Give us courage and strength, so we can speak out where violence is perpetrated.

    Help us to notice situations where violence is taking place and bless us with wisdom so we know what to do.

    We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

    International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People


    29/11/2024

    This day was established way back in 1977 when the UN declared that Israel's occupation of Arab territories was illegal and that peace could only come about in the region if Israel withdrew from these places.   No such withdrawal has taken place.

    In 2018, Maria Fernanda Espinosa (the President of the General Assembly of the UN) reported that:

    • 43% of the Palestinian population were refugees - and half of them were below the age of 18
    • 47% of the population of the Gaza strip were living with food insecurity
    • the average water consumption of the Palestinian populations in Gaza was 66 litres per day - well below the recommended ration of 100 litres per day.

     

    The Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, said on this day in 2018:

    "Today, in particular, our hearts are heavy with the suffering of the people in Gaza.

    Approximately two million Palestinians remain blocked in increasing poverty and unemployment, with limited access to adequate health, education, water and electricity.

    Young people see little prospect of a better future.

    I urge Israel to lift restrictions on the movement of people and goods, which also hamper the efforts of the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies, without jeopardizing legitimate security concerns.

    I call on Hamas and other militant groups to halt their military build-up in Gaza, including the indiscriminate launching of rockets and incendiary devices directed at Israel. "

     

    There seems to be little progress and, all the while, people suffer!

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY

    O Lord, You are the peace and peace emanates from You.

    O God of Glory and Majesty grant us security and safety,

    and alleviate the suffering of your people.

    O Lord, bring comprehensive and just peace to our country and region

    so that our people and the peoples of the Middle East and the whole world

    would enjoy the fruit of peace, stability and coexistence.

    We want peace for us and for our neighbours.

    We seek prosperity and peace of mind for ourselves and for others alike.

    O Lord, answer our prayers and make successful our endeavors

    for you are most just, most merciful, Lord of the Worlds.

    This prayer was offered by the Muslim President Abbas of Palestine in Rome when he met Pope Francis and Shimon Peres, the Israeli President in June 2014.

  • Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare

    Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare


    30/11/2024

    Chemical weapons have been used for centuries.  In the 17th century, France and Germany signed an agreement NOT to use poison bullets!   In 1899, countries at the Hague Peace Conference declared they would not use projectiles which contained "asphyxiating or deleterious gases".

    However, during the First World War, over 100,000 humans died and more than 1 million were wounded by the use of gas.

    In the Second World War, gas was not used in combat but was used in the Holocaust Concentration Camps.

    In 1997, the Chemical Weapons Convention (proposed in 1993) came into force on 29 April.  Its purpose was, “for the sake of all mankind, to exclude completely the possibility of the use of chemical weapons.”

    And so, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was set up to monitor this happening.  There have undoubtedly been huge successes and OPCW Member States represent about 98% of the global population and landmass, as well as 98% of the worldwide chemical industry.   The OPCW was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for what it has done to eliminate chemical weapons.  OPCW claim to have eliminated 97% of all chemical weapons.

    However, throughout the Syrian Civil War (which started in 2011) - and as recently as 2017 - chemical weapons have been used.

     

    A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available as a 1 minute video by clicking HERE)

    Loving God,

    we give thanks for the progress made in eliminating chemical weapons.

    We pray for those who have suffered death or injury because of them.

    We pray for those who order their use

    that their hearts might be transformed

    to seek ways of peace.

     

    We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. AMEN
