Catholic Commission for Social Justice
In last week’s CCSJ column, we shared with readers the winning Spoken Word contribution from Michael Logie from Tunapuna. Below is the contribution of Shineque Saunders, the second prize winner of CCSJ’s and the Youth Commission’s Spoken Word Competition.
The joint Spoken Word initiative of CCSJ and the Youth Commission proved to be a real treat. We say ‘Thanks’ to the 17 young contestants who ‘fired-up’ TCN’s studio on Friday October 30. Each received a Medal of Participation. The three winners were: 1st prize: Michael Logie, Tunapuna; 2nd prize: Shineque Saunders, Princes Town; and 3rd prize: Darrion Narine, St Joseph.
Since the competition was part of ‘Justice, Peace and Community Week’, the theme was: Building inclusive communities.
Michael’s reference to Hebrews 10:24 is noteworthy. Rather than ‘bruising’ each other, “Let us be concerned for each other, to stir a response in love and good works.” CCSJ is seeking to publish the contributions of each contestant. We must acknowledge the talent of our youths.
Here is Michael’s winning contribution:
Leela’s speech for opening Seminar – Justice, Peace and Community Week
From: 24-31 Oct 2015
Theme: Let’s build inclusive communities
Sat 24 Oct at LWC/TCN from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Dear brothers and sisters,
There is so much that you and I can learn from the nuggets of wisdom shared by Fr Matthew and Rhonda. Our society and the world yearn for justice, peace and for communities to live together as God intended.
Today’s Gospel reading about Jesus’ healing of the blind man, Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52), has much to teach us as we begin Justice, Peace and Community Week (JPCW) from Oct 24-31 on the theme: Let’s build inclusive communities.
But before I focus on the reading, I congratulate Bernadette Patrick and the Magnificat team for a spiritually uplifting retreat on Saturday October 17.
The deadline for registering for the Justice Peace and Community Week Youth Spoken Word Competition has been extended to Mon October 26. In order to reigster for the Competition, please send the following information to Leela Ramdeen at: socialjustice@rcpos.org
