Building Integrity for Mission
The first presentation of the Festival of the Spirituality of the Heart explores the biblical basis of the Spirituality of the Heart. These first two presentations are offered by Fr. John Peter, MSC, of the MSC Indian Union. He investigates the heart in Sacred Scriptures, then explores the operations of the heart of God, the heart of humanity and the heart of creation in Sacred Scriptures. He concludes with questions and challenges to the Spirituality of the Heart in our contemporary times.
‘New trends in mission, the emerging Future’ is the new book release from SEDOS. It is a compilation of presentations given during the Mission Symposium of 2021. An excellent gathering of contemporary thought on mission.

Pope Francis’ Motu proprio, establishes new procedures for reporting abuse and violence. The document covers not only violence and abuse against children, but also abuse of authority. This includes cases of violence against religious by clerics, as well as abuse committed against adult seminarians or novices. One way to protect people is to provide good them with training in being assertive, so that they can challenge unacceptable behaviours, or to feel confident to report them to authorities. This article discusses assertiveness and what it involves.

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case.
