Temenos Catholic Worker! Happy 30th Birthday
October 4, 2024
Feast of St. Francis
Carlos Acutis
30th Anniversary, Temenos Catholic Worker
Damien of Molokai
Recently a soul friend sent me a Tarot card, Six of Swords, telling me: “This is the journey you are traveling a road of meaning and purpose. And it has been a transforming journey as Tao Nets Coates says in his poem says quiet eloquently:
“The streets transform every ordinary day into a series of trick questions and every incorrect answer risks a beat down, a shooting, or a pregnancy, none survive unscath.”
And the question is often asked: Why, after your own journey, do you still find yourself believing in a personal God and in the resurrection of Jesus?
I believe in God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and even the resurrection. I also believe God is manifested in different religious expressions throughout the world. But not in the way I believe in math.
I believe that every person has the Spark of the Divine within.
I believe because, as The “Hold Steady” song goes,
She crashed into the Easter mass with her hair done up in broken glass She was limping left on broken heels And she said, "Father, can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels?
And I believe because it is in me to do so.
And I believe because I have borrowed the faith of others.
And I believe because of how bonkers all the Bible stories are not despite how bonkers all the Bible stories are.
And “I believe, help my unbelief”.
And I believe because:
Jesus sought me when a stranger
wandering from the fold of God.
And I believe because I have experienced it all to be true and am unconcerned whether or not it is fact. So join me on November 9, 2024 to celebrate and remember the past thirty years, for the journey continues summed up in these words of M.F.K. Fisher:
“People ask me why do you write about food,
and eating and drinking? Why don’t you write
about the struggle for power and security, and
about love, the way the others do? The easiest answer
is to say that, like most other humans I am hungry!”
In Jesus Street Person and Rebel,
+C. River Damien Carlos Sims, sfw D.Min., D.S.T.
30th Anniversary Celebration

The early birds also enjoy hot deals on their flight tickets and their hotels. You can also take one step forward by purchasing a customized packaged holiday to Hawaii that includes the conveyances, accommodation, local sightseeing tours, rental cars and water and beach activities.

You can never find a more exciting and fun destination than Hawaii beaches as your next vacation. Hawaii Beachescomprise six exotic beaches with extensive beaches and verdant landscapes. Each of the six islands here is uniquely beautiful and culturally enriched. This is a geographic magnificence surrounded by the Pacific Ring of Fire. These are usually volcanic islands. The six major islands, which comprise Hawaii, are Maui, Big Island, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai. Each of these islands is bequeathed with unique natural beauties and exotic locations, that attract visitors across the world.
What are the things to do in Hawaii—
Adventurous beach activities from surfing to scuba diving
Hawaii is a surfer’s paradise. Depending on the high tides, the experts surf on these beaches. Here you can get multiple opportunities to learn surfing as loads of local experts offer these crash courses of learning sea surfing. If you want to board a flight to Australia from UK and learn surfing at the famous Bondi beach then you can learn sea surfing here and also in Hawaii. Moreover, you don’t have to literally buy a surfing board, while you are in Hawaii. You can easily rent a good board from the beach vendors.

But according to the traveller’s choice, two among these exclusive beaches are categorized as the best of all the Hawaii famous beaches. They are Hanalei Bay Beach on Kauai Island and Lanikai Beach on Oahu Island.

Hurricane Hilary Approaches (1440) Tropical Storm Hilary, which formed in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico and is moving northwest, has strengthened into a hurricane and is expected to bring heavy rain and flash flooding to the southwestern US into next week. California, Nevada, and Arizona are forecast to receive 2 to 10 inches of rain, including in drought-stricken areas. It is rare for a tropical storm system to make landfall in California due to typically cool waters; however, the El Niño weather pattern is fueling higher tropical activity this year. The last tropical storm system to make landfall in California was in 1939.
Sleeping in cars and tents, Maui fire survivors are unsure what to do next (Washington Post) Every day, they swim in the ocean. Every night, they sleep on the beach. In between, Peter Friedgen and Dan Reardon face whatever the day offers for two men cast away by the wildfire that wiped out the Lahaina pawnshop where they lived and worked. The sign at Hanakaoʻo Park says “no camping,” but nobody is hassling them. They are both 66 years old. And you can tell they have weathered other storms. Their spot in the world now is a gray tarp on the sand held down by stones. Behind them, there is a cemetery, and beyond that the highway—where soldiers and ambulances drive past—and the neighborhoods where workers in protective gear search for the dead. In front of them is open water and the island of Molokai rising in the distance. The effort to house and feed the thousands of people displaced from Lahaina has consumed Maui over the past week, and many have found refuge in shelters and hotels or been taken in by friends and relatives. There are also those who are still marooned, sleeping in cars and tents along the coast. Others are living in churches and golf clubs as they begin to think about what will come next. They have little information to help them make plans for what’s next.
Serve a drink, then save a life (NYT) As public fentanyl overdoses rise around the U.S., restaurant and bar workers are being trained to administer the overdose-reversing drug Narcan. Some bars view stocking the medication as common sense, like having a first-aid kit or a fire extinguisher, though others worry that keeping it on hand will invite drug use. Ellen Wirshup, a Portland bartender who started a nonprofit that distributes Narcan, said treating overdoses should be considered part of the job.
Out-of-control wildfire scorches Spain’s Tenerife island (AP) An out-of-control wildfire on the Spanish Canary island of Tenerife has burned thousands of acres and affected nearly 8,000 people who are either evacuated or confined, authorities said Thursday. Regional President Fernando Clavijo said some 250 firefighters and members of the Spanish army are tackling the blaze, located in the north of the island, a key tourist destination. Clavijo said the fire had a nearly 30-kilometer-long (19-mile) perimeter. “This is probably the most complicated blaze we have had on the Canary Islands, if not ever, in at least the last 40 years,” Clavijo told reporters. The blaze, which started Tuesday night, is centered on a craggy, mountainous area, which is difficult for emergency brigades to access. Spanish authorities said their main goal is to contain the fire and prevent it from reaching more populated areas. The island’s main town, Santa Cruz, is 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from the flames.
Troop Deaths and Injuries in Ukraine War Near 500,000, U.S. Officials Say (NYT) The total number of Ukrainian and Russian troops killed or wounded since the war in Ukraine began 18 months ago is nearing 500,000, U.S. officials said, a staggering toll as Russia assaults its next-door neighbor and tries to seize more territory. The officials cautioned that casualty figures remained difficult to estimate because Moscow is believed to routinely undercount its war dead and injured, and Kyiv does not disclose official figures. But they said the slaughter intensified this year in eastern Ukraine and has continued at a steady clip as a nearly three-month-old counteroffensive drags on. Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded. But Russians outnumber Ukrainians on the battlefield almost three to one, and Russia has a larger population from which to replenish its ranks. Ukraine has around 500,000 troops, including active-duty, reserve and paramilitary troops, according to analysts. By contrast, Russia has almost triple that number, with 1,330,000 active-duty, reserve and paramilitary troops.
The Russian effort to build 6,000 attack drones with Iran’s help (Washington Post) The engineers at a once-bustling industrial hub deep inside Russia were busy planning. The team had been secretly tasked with building a production line that would operate around-the-clock churning out self-detonating drones. This was Russia’s billion-dollar weapons deal with Iran coming to life in November, 500 miles east of Moscow in the Tatarstan region. Its aim is to domestically build 6,000 drones by summer 2025—enough to reverse the Russian army’s chronic shortages of unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, on the front line. If it succeeds, the sprawling new drone factory could help Russia preserve its dwindling supply of precision munitions, thwart Ukraine’s effort to retake occupied territory and dramatically advance Moscow’s position in the drone arms race that is remaking modern warfare. Although Western officials have revealed the existence of the facility and Moscow’s partnership with Tehran, documents leaked from the program and obtained by The Washington Post provide new information about the effort by two self-proclaimed enemies of the United States—under some of the world’s heaviest sanctions—to expand the Kremlin’s drone program. Altogether, the documents indicate that, despite delays and a production process that is deeply reliant on foreign-produced electronic components, Moscow has made steady progress toward its goal of manufacturing a variant of the Iranian Shahed-136, an attack drone capable of traveling more than 1,000 miles. David Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector who helped lead the research team that studied the documents, said: “Alabuga looks to be seeking a drone developmental capability that exceeds Iran’s.”
‘We Pray’: Frontline Villagers in Ukraine Hunker Down as Shells Rain (NYT) When the shelling starts, Alla Viktorivna usually hides in her cellar in a village in southern Ukraine. “But sometimes in the night, you don’t have time,” she said. “You just roll under your sofa. You hear it whistling and smashing.” Ms. Viktorivna lives in Stepnohirsk, part of a buffer area between Ukrainian and Russian positions on the Zaporizhzhia front. But despite the barrage of Russian strikes, she has no intention of leaving. “I never thought to leave,” she said. “How can you leave your house, your garden, cats, dogs? I have a big dog.” Months after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, small villages like hers along the front have come under increasingly heavy bombardment. In Kamianske, Svitlana, Lesya and Natasha live off produce from their gardens and care for their dogs. And when the shelling starts, they hunker down in cellars, which they have converted into living spaces. “We are used to it,” Natasha said. “We sit in the cellars, which already look like hotels. We wait for victory. We pray.”
Why are China’s young people so disillusioned? (Economist) A dark cloud hangs over Chinese born in the 1990s and 2000s. Since Xi Jinping won power in 2012, the government has grown more repressive and society less vibrant. Censors have turned the internet into a drearier place, while letting nationalist trolls drum in the state’s talking-points. At university students must grapple with Mr Xi’s forbidding personal ideology. Worst of all for some, China’s economy is stagnating. The unemployment rate for those aged 16 to 24 in cities is over 21%—a number so disheartening that earlier this month the government stopped publishing the data. Many young people are suffering a deep sense of angst. University graduates are finding that the skills they spent years learning are not the ones employers want. Scarce jobs and punishing property prices have dashed their hopes of buying a home and starting a family. We scraped social media and found that the mood is growing darker. Disillusioned youth talk of tangping (lying flat) and bailan (letting it rot), synonyms for giving up. The ladder to a better life is being lifted away. In response, many are choosing to abandon the rat race and turn inwards. Mr Xi needs the young to get married, have children and reverse the country’s demographic decline. In order to refocus the economy on manufacturing and away from consumer-internet technology, he’d like them to study hard sciences, not dream of designing video games. And he wants more youngsters to work in factories, including the type that might produce weapons for China’s growing armed forces. “Endure hardships” and “eat bitterness”, Mr Xi tells the young. Many cannot see why they should.
Palestinian police struggle in West Bank (AP) Last month, after the biggest Israeli military raid on a Palestinian refugee camp in the occupied West Bank in years, Palestinians turned their wrath on their own security forces. They unleashed gunfire, firebombs and pipe bombs at Palestinian security buildings in an outpouring of rage against the Palestinian Authority’s failure to protect them from the devastating July 3 raid and a long-running, deeply unpopular security alliance with Israel. Scarred by the Hamas militant group’s violent takeover of Gaza from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ forces in 2007, the Palestinian Authority has cooperated with Israel to suppress the Islamist movement and keep the secular nationalist Fatah party in power in the West Bank. The July unrest exposed Palestinians’ seething resentment toward their semi-autonomous government and forced a reckoning for their beaten-down security forces, who in their blue camouflage uniforms have come to embody the tensions tearing at Palestinian society.
The Spiraling Situation In Sudan (CNN) Four months ago, a civil war broke out in Sudan. As of Tuesday, the U.N. estimates the fighting has displaced 3.4 million people within the country, with over a million people fleeing Sudan entirely to seek refuge in neighboring countries like Egypt, Libya, Chad, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. Both the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of crimes against humanity, including attacking civilians and ethnic cleansing. The U.N. also claims that the Sudanese civil war has also caused a 50% spike in gender-based violence, including sexual assault. About 260,000 women in the country are currently pregnant, 100,000 of whom are expected to give birth in the next three months, adding enormous strain to the country’s already-struggling healthcare system. “Time is running out for farmers to plant the crops that will feed them and their neighbors. Medical supplies are scarce,” said the U.N. on Tuesday. “The situation is spiraling out of control … It is time for a reset. We call for an immediate cessation of hostilities.”

Reflection: Get Connected
There’s hardly any restaurants, bars, or establishments that have no Wi-Fi connection. When customers enter, they ask first for the password, not the menu. The success of whatever projects you may have in today’s world is judged by how connected you are. Otherwise, you will be left behind.
The Gospel speaks the same line of thought. It speaks of a connection that has neither a password nor a payment. It is to be connected to Jesus through the Eucharist.
St. Damien Joseph de Veuster, whose feast we celebrate today, was a priest who volunteered to be assigned in isolated islands with a lepers colony at Molokai. Designed to be disconnected from the world, he had to deal with a ministry that could be both discouraging and depressing.
Saint Damien experienced it while in prayer in a small makeshift chapel in front of the Eucharist. Describing to Jesus his struggles and the details of the day, he constantly maintained his relationship with God in prayer. Saint Damien said of the experience, “Without the Blessed Sacrament, a position like mine would be intolerable.”
Jesus in the Gospel today assures us when we feel alone in such moments: “Abide in Me.” When we feel like we have no companion in our life’s project, Jesus consoles us, “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.”
In his zeal and ministry with the lepers, Saint Damien eventually got contaminated with leprosy at the latter part of his life. He said, “I make myself a leper with the lepers to gain all to Jesus Christ.”
What an unwavering connection Saint Damien had with Jesus until his dying moment!
~Fr. Haluendo Amit, OCD
To whom do you connect to abide faithfully to Jesus?
I seek Your face in the people I serve, O Jesus! May they also see You in me. Amen.
Prayer
… for a deep and profound respect for life, especially for the unborn.
… for the strength and healing of the sick.
… for the healing and peace of all families.
Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.
GOD BLESS!

Nicholas Salzano - Best Beaches in the World
Nicholas Salzano is a well-known travel blogger. Nicholas Salzano writes regularly on travel tips and his travel experiences. Get Nicholas Salzano's latest content.
What makes a great beach is up to the travelers. Some people like wide sandy beaches with lots of activities and crowds to watch, while others like deserted shores and calm waters.
US News has determined this and other factors such as unique landscapes, beach quality, and general accessibility to determine the best beaches in the world. (Note: Some of the destinations below may be affected by the corona virus outbreak. Please consult CDC and the U.S. State Department before traveling.)
Nicholas Salzano - Fiji
Fiji has turquoise waters, sparkling beaches and luxurious resorts, similar to many other tropical resorts. Similarly, an island composed of 333 islands is suitable for all kinds of love birds. In addition, explorers such as surfers and divers appreciate the quality of the waves and the coral reefs of the archipelago. But Fiji has different supernatural characteristics from other island destinations. Fiji is more than 1,300 miles from the North Island of New Zealand in the South Pacific, providing you with a pleasant feeling of isolation.
When you drink Fijian sour beer and watch the sun set on the horizon, you will be as far away from reality as possible. Fijian style will also make you feel a million miles away too: have you tried the dazzling cava? Or have seen people braving fire and walking on hot stones without burning their feet? If not, it is time to do it.
Nicholas Salzano - Bora Bora
Bora Bora (about 6 miles long and just over 2 miles wide) is full of beauty. A dormant volcano rises at its center and expands into the dense jungle before overflowing into the Aquamarine Lagoon. In fact, the author James Michener who wrote "The Story of the South Pacific" called Bora Bora "the most beautiful island in the world." In the 18th century, British explorer James Cook even hailed it as the "Pearl of the Pacific." As the definition of a tropical resort, the wonderful Bora Bora has luxury resorts, clear skies, warm waters and friendly people.
In short, go to Bora Bora to enjoy the natural beauty, to relax completely, if you have the money, go.
Salzano - Maldives
You've seen photos of the Maldives before: the perfect private villa suspended in the stunning blue waters, alabaster white sand beaches and a spectacular sunset jumping into the horizon. The beauty of the Maldives is worth seeing and can only be understood by visiting the scene.
The island nation of Maldives is extremely popular with honeymooners seeking hermitage and adventurers looking to explore the depths of the ocean through snorkeling and diving. Tourists who want to relax can relax in the spa on the island, and all tourists should spend a day exploring Male’, the capital of the Maldives. The hotels in the area are breathtaking, from underwater hotels to private overwater bungalows to stunningly beautiful resorts.
However, getting to and staying in this tropical paradise requires patience (there are no direct flights from the US) and enough cash. The Maldives is located between the Arabian Sea and the Cardiff Sea, about 500 miles southwest of Sri Lanka, as isolated from the world as possible; this is just another of its many charms.
Nicholas - Tahiti
Miles of coastline, dozens of resorts, mouth-watering French cuisine-Tahiti has all the conditions for a honeymoon destination. But beach bums often cross the sands of Tahiti and head to the Ivory Coast of Bora Bora. Despite its idyllic reputation and convenient transportation, Tahiti is not so much a romantic holiday destination as a place off the beaten track. However, this does not mean that Tahiti should be ignored.
The wooded forest is next to the beach, and the French crepes are served with Tahitian poisson cru (raw fish). If there is one place that can embody the beautiful duality of French Polynesia, it is Tahiti. Here, the quirky and often chaotic atmosphere of Papeete, the island’s capital, complements the unspoiled natural beauty.
In fact, Tahiti, the largest of the 118 islands in French Polynesia, is often referred to as two separate islands, although they are connected by a small land bridge.
Tahiti Nui is the largest northern area where Papeete is located. Tahiti Iti (the smaller half) is not easily accessible, although many tourists hike here to experience the isolation. Keep in mind that spending a week anywhere in Tahiti will cost you a hefty price. But travelers agree that the warm waters, dense jungles, and luxurious resorts are worth it.
Nicholas Salzano - Maui
Maui isn't as big as the Big Island, it's not as small as Lanai, as vibrant as Oahu, and not as quiet as Kauai. For many visitors vacationing in Hawaii, Maui is the perfect place, from its majestic wildlife to fascinating history and culture; it offers all the flavors that Aloha has to offer. Visit here to swing with a professional hula dancer,play golf on the coastal streets, zip around, snorkel with five different types of turtles, or just go on some of the most famous beaches in Hawaii rest.
Maui, one of the archipelago's most popular tourist attractions, lies between the Big Island and the small Molokai (you can explore it by signing up for one of the best tours on Maui). Maui is divided into five different regions. Many visitors settle on the sandy beaches of South Maui (where the famous Wailea Beach is located) or the coast of West Maui, the sandy beach of Kaanapali Beach and the music home of the old Lahaina Augrand. But the rest of the island cannot be overlooked.
Travel along the Road to Hana, experience the scenic east coast of Maui, explore Haleakala, the largest dormant volcano in the inland world, and explore the ancient tribal battlefields of Iao Valley State Park in central Maui. If you want a panoramic view of all of this, book one of the best helicopter tours in Maui.
Nicholas Salzano - Whitsunday Islands
The Whitsunday Islands are located off the northeast coast of Australia and it feels like a whole different world. The archipelago is adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef and has an extremely unique but fragile ecosystem. Some of the best beaches in this collection of 74 islands include Betty Beach, Whitehaven Beach, and Chalkis Beach, but there are plenty of amazing attractions to choose from as well. When you're not sunbathing on pearl-white beaches or snorkeling in turquoise waters, you can relax in luxurious or eco-friendly bungalows on Hamilton Island or Long Island.
Nicholas Salzano - Mauritius
Located in the east of Madagascar, this picturesque African island has a number of beaches that deserve priority. According to visitor reviews, the west coast of the island has some of the best, such as Flic En Flac and Le Morne, There are beautiful white sand beaches and the perfect viewpoint to watch the sunset. Beachgoers near amenities prefer the northern coastal beaches like Granbe, while those looking for a more remote beach experience prefer to visit the eastern and southern coastal beaches like Tu Island and Blue Bay.
Nicholas Salzano - St. Lucia
Lush and unspoiled Saint Lucia has a growing fan base. Some of its vacationers are music lovers, chilling out at the St. Lucia Art and Jazz Festival in the spring, or adrenaline junkies, climbing The Pitons or zip-lining in the Chasin area rainforest to test their limits. Others are honeymooners relaxing on the island's chalky beach or hiding out in a secluded resort.
But what if any of these categories are not suitable for you? Do not worry: Saint Lucia refuses to be classified like any "kind" of Caribbean vacation. In addition, you don’t have to spend a lot of money (its reputation as a luxury hideaway is reasonable to some extent). To discover some of the indescribable charms of the island, you must visit it yourself. Wake up in the morning and admire the orange sunrise over Soufrière, and then "jump" (or dance) along the Gros Islet in the evening to end the afternoon.
Nicholas Salzano - Railay Beach
Railay Beach (also known as Rai Leh) is located in Krabi, Thailand, next to the Andaman Sea. The area is made up of four main beaches, with soft sands, clear waters, stunning but climbable (for experienced climbers) cliffs and dense tropical rain forests. For a truly breathtaking beach experience, head to Phra Nang Beach, where you can explore caves, islands and coral reefs. Another Railay Beach coastline that you must visit is the beautiful West Coast of Railay, just steps from a plethora of shops, restaurants, bars, and resorts.

They can even ask around for the best honeymoon spot. Or they can share information about the ideal vacation spots they may have heard of from their contacts, making it easier to check specific places instead of obtaining a ceaseless list of potential destinations.
3. Get professional help
If you’re very busy and don’t have much time to devote to researching the best places to spend your honeymoon, you can have a reputable travel agent do all of the legwork for you. You can list what features you are looking for at the destination and the honeymoon package, in general, to make it easier for the agent to find a place that you are sure to enjoy.
