GREETINGS FROM CLC CANADA'S PRESIDENT 
LEAH MICHAUD
Dear CLC brothers and sisters,

This note is being written just after Mass on May 10th noted as "Mother's Day" on the calendar. I want to share with you the challenge I encountered when the Presider, who, although wishing all women a "Happy Mothers' Day", wondered if the title for this day ought to be "Women's Day". This was his reasoning: all of us can learn from women's unique perspective on what love is.

Chronicling God's Gifts

Some Musings on the Rockies Region

 

Leanne Salel

Rockies Regional Representative 

 

Recently, I read Ann Voskamp's beautiful book "One Thousand Gifts, A Dare to Live Fully Right Where you Are." 

 

I was reminded once again of how life-changing

 the discipline of journaling 

God's gifts can be.  My CLC community 

 

reinforced this for me the other

week when we 

 

 engaged the 

topic of spiritual journaling in Manual 1. The mindful recording of moments of gratitude and other spiritual insights has a 

trans-formative potential 

and can bring about 

a myriad

of graces in one's spiritual life.  I came away feeling God's urging to engage in more journaling!

WORLD CLC DAY 2015 -FAMILY
Prairie Region CLC groups celebrated World Day of Prayer 2015 in March. With both the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia and the Synod of Bishops on the Family in Rome taking place later this year, it was not surprising that "Family" became the theme for our earlier Family Day/Spring Retreats in February for our Winnipeg members and Thunder Bay's in mid-March and the World Day of Prayer. 
 
WORLD PRIORITIES 
 

POVERTY IN CANADA

by Gilles Michaud 


 In a recent publication of the JESUIT FORUM, OPEN SPACE, the editor mentions that spirituality, social justice and ecology should be integrated into a holistic approach or vision. Thus far, we tend to relate ecology to spirituality and/or social justice to ecology more readily than we interrelate the three together.  read more
