Time is flying by and we are now entering the Autumn season so I am pleased to send you this quarter’s Mouthpeace. 

 

There are several things going on in September for the Season of Creation .

Plus reports from CAFOD and Church Action of Poverty on their events.

 

Also this time as we still do not have any real signs of peace and justice for Ukraine and Palestine/Israel I have included several things from this years’s NJPN Conference at Swanwick which was very appropriately on Just Peace. It gave us  plenty to think and pray about,

 

Five years ago Mouthpeace went digital. It was interesting  to reflect on the history of Mouthpeace with Anne O’Connor – see the front page. 

 

Best wishes

Marian

 

PS  Since I produced Mouthpeace I have received this below from Pax Christi 

There are several things about the DSEI in this Mouthpeace including a story from Sr, Katrina which may encourage you to pray.

 

From Pax Christi  England and Wales 

Our National Chaplain Sr Katrina Alton has written a Novena of Nonviolent Resistance for us so that we can pray each day from the 1st – 9th September for the courage and wisdom to resist the evils of the arms trade using the tools of Gospel nonviolence.  We will be posting the full Novena on our website this weekend https://paxchristi.org.uk/ and will post the prayers daily on Instagram and Facebook.  Please share the resource with your parish or local group. 

To start the Novena on Monday 1st, we will host a zoom call at 6.30pm so that we can pray together.  You can register for that call here  here: tinyurl.com/mryfvu9f 

We will host a further call on the final day of the Novena –Tuesday 9th and are looking to see if we can host this live from outside the gates to the fair.
