Christian-Muslim Stories of Encounter
The monks story familiar to many thanks to the
award-winning 2010 film Of Gods and Men forms
the backbone of this deeply affecting and
thoughtful celebration of interreligious
friendship.   By drawing on the inspiring witness
of the Catholic Church in Algeria and Morocco, Fr
Martin sensitively illuminates the way in which
Christians can connect sincerely in everyday life
with their Muslim neighbours.

• A two-part Homiletic Directory. The first
  part, entitled The homily and its liturgical
  setting, describes the nature, function and
  specific context of the homily. Other aspects
  that define it are also addressed, namely, the
  appropriate ordained minister who delivers it,
  its reference to the Word of God, the proximate
  and remote preparation for its composition, and
  its recipients.

• Last Sundays Gospel was the story of
  Thomas, and of Jesus message,
• Blessed are those who have not seen and
  have believed. The story of Doubting Thomas is
  aimed at all who will not see the Risen Lord, yet
  are asked to believe. We are called to believe in
  what we cannot see or hear or touch, when even
  those closest to Jesus had problems in accepting
  what was happening. Thomas wanted to believe in
  the Risen Jesus, but he wasnt the sort of person
  to pretend he understood something when he
  didnt. He wasnt the sort of person that could
  pretend that he didnt have doubts when he did.
  Jesus was patient with him and showed him what he
  needed to see. In the same way, the Risen Jesus
  will show us the way forward. Christ is always in
  our midst inviting us to touch him and to
  believe. It important to remember that doubt can
  be a good thing. Doubt means that we are still
  questioning something that we care about. Doubt
  means that we are still looking for answers, that
  we are still learning and growing.  
• This week
• Many people embark on some sort of religious
  pilgrimage to find answers and meaning in their
  lives. Why not organise a pilgrim walk in your
  community for people to experience?
• Watch the movie Doubt and reflect on this clip

For the Classroom

• Each second we live is a new and unique moment
  of the universe, a moment that will never be
  again And what do we teach our children? We teach
  them that two and two make four, and that Paris
  is the capital of France. When will we also teach
  them what they are? We should say to each of
  them Do you know what you are? You are a marvel.
  You are unique. In all the years that have
  passed, there has never been another child like
  you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers,
  the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a
  Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity
  for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you
  grow up, can you then harm another who is, like
  you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work,
  to make the world worthy of its children.
