However, with the deadly load of explosives still strapped to him, he must spend 48 hours in the city, caught between the men that sent him who can blow up his bomb remotely, the Israeli police patrolling the streets and his new-found companions. Spending this time with Keren and his new friends, Terek discovers the spark of life returning to fill his soul, but when the weekend ends, Terek must make the decision of his life. *Yom Kippur, Jewish Day of Atonement begins Sundown, Friday, Sept. 13, 2013

Terek, a Palestinian forced on a suicide mission in Tel Aviv to redeem his father's honor, is given a second chance when the fuse on his explosive vest fails to detonate. Forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv awaiting its repair, Terek must live amongst the people he was planning to kill. To his surprise he connects with several Israelis on the outskirts of society, including the beautiful Keren, who has cut off contact with her Orthodox family and upbringing. With nothing to lose, Terek and Keren open up to one another, and an unlikely love blooms between two isolated and damaged individuals, raised to be enemies.

After my abortion, I was broken and desperate for help. I turned to Project Rachel. After the experience, I left feeling like a whole person again. Forgiveness became a reality for me, a feeling I never imagined was possible. The pain of abortion haunts many women. Retreats offered by the Project Rachel ministry of the Archdiocese of Boston can help women find hope, healing and reconciliation after abortion. If you or a loved one is suffering from postabortion pain, contact Project Rachel about upcoming Come to the Waters of Healing retreats to be held September 21, October 26 and November 23, 2013. For more information and to register for the date of your choice, call Project Rachel at 508.651.3100 or email [email protected]. All inquiries are confidential.

In the Footprints of Francis and the Sultan A Model for Peacemaking

Come meet some of our Muslim partners... a Franciscan Intermezzo event

Thurs., September 19, 2013, 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., St. Anthony Shrine Assisi auditorium stage classroom film & discussion Facilitators: members of The Damietta Project Catholics and Muslims working together for the common good Cost: Free will ($5 suggested) Pre-registration requested by Mon., Sept. 16 to provide handouts

St. Francis of Assisis encounter with Sultan Malek al-Kamil is one of the most important and instructive events in the life of this mendicant friar. Adopting an attitude of respect and dialogue, rather than selfrighteousness and vehemence, he and his companion, Illuminato, by all accounts engaged in a sharing of faith with the sultan and his court, each presenting his belief in the one God from his own perspective. Based on one of the lesser-known stories from the life of Francis of Assisi, In the Footprints of Francis and the Sultan presents a paradigm for meeting those whose way of life is unknown, those who are other, those who have been demonized. This peacemaking paradigm uses the story of the 1219 encounter between Francis and the Sultan to help us negotiate our difficult interfaith encounters and other misunderstandings and hostility between peoples. Damietta Project members will share how we delved into the encounter between Francis and the Sultan and discovered tools to build trust and relationships in bold, courageous, respectful ways. Thus, together, we hope to make a contribution to bringing forth the gift of Gods peace and lessening the violence in our world. With Francis and the Sultan as teachers, understanding, courtesy, collaboration, and even friendship can reach new heights. Such is the way of peacemaking.

If you are a man between 21 and 38 years of age considering a religious vocation, we invite you to join us here at the Shrine on Sept. 20, 21 and 22 to get a taste of Franciscan life and ministry. Youll meet our friar community one of the largest in our Province and share in conversation, meals, and prayer. Youll also learn about our great variety of ministries, including the Food Center, Bread on the Common, Kids Program, 20s and 30s Young Adult Group, Seniors Program, Wellness Center, Prison Ministry, and many more. There will also be an opportunity for quiet time and reflection. Cant spend the whole weekend? Make a day out of it and join us for Saturday only! For further information or to register for this event, please contact the Franciscan Vocation Ministry, Franciscan Friars of Holy Name Province, at 1-800677-7788 or [email protected]. Or, if you prefer, visit our website at BeAFranciscan.org (Upcoming Events). Register by Friday, September 13.

By the end of the process, participants will have seen what the crisis has to teach us about how to live faithfully in this moment in time, brought Gospel values to the forefront of their reflections on the state of the Earth, gained a sense of empowerment within the context of community, and explored options for making a commitment to action.

The module has a strong focus on Catholic social teaching and asks very big questions about our priorities, our moral values, what we owe the world now and the future generations that come after us, and what God intended for this creation. The material is challenging and likely to raise some troubling questions and emotions. This is good! It is necessary! It is also necessary that participants enter the process with the desire to listen to one another and to learn from one another.

Faith Encounters the Ecological Crisis identifies that ways in which we are already living beyond the biocapacity of the planet and challenges participants to identify elements of a spirituality for living through the ecological crisis. Participants will view several films, engage in small and large group discussion, and meet with several guest speakers as they consider various aspects of the ecological crisis. Participants will also identify ways to live beyond the end of this world with a rich and vibrant Earth community still intact, still able to support life.

Members of the Shrine Community who are in their twenties (20s) and thirties (30s), are invited to join us for the following event. RSVP to [email protected]
