interesting exercise to recall the saints in our midst. I am

my two cents.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">George Galloway in a
recent podcast declared two saints(prophetic voices) for our
age. The first was Greta Thurnberg for her fearless
participation in the recent Gaza Flotilla. The second was
Catholic pod-caster Candice Owens for her broadcasting evidence
implicating the Zionist lobby in the murder of Charlie Kirk. I
however would like to recognize a Canadian saint. It is not
only courage that determines saintliness but also the character
to respond with love to the grievous injustice of institutional
power. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">My choice for
Prophetic voice is Katie Pasitney. At one time Development and
Peace ran a campaign supporting farmers like Percy Smizer, who
lost his farm in a law suit by big </font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">agriculture</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> for saving the seed of
patented GMO canola that had blown into his field from
neighbours. Defending farmers from big agriculture seems to
have only been the flavour of the month. Now that farmers are
being persecuted by corporate owned state bureaucracies they are
no longer a live concern. Powerful saints like Katie are not
featured in a positive light by corporately owned media. Thank
god for a free and open internet at least for the time being.</font></p>

Thank you, Fr. Paul, David, and Dean for responding to my
invitation after Mass to share a ‘prophetic voice’ that is
meaningful to you today.<br>
<br>
Fr. Paul, your concern for the need for society as well
as the Church to focus on young people today and for the
future is a call that is essential. Thank you for including
the actual speech of Kim Nam-joon addressing the U.N. His
skill and maturity is outstanding.<br>
<br>
I am, also, a huge fan of Bill Maher as a secular voice
that certainly speaks ‘truth to power’. (The video is
somewhat dated, of course, but for those interested, his
show is available on CNN on Saturday evenings.)<br>
Thank you, Paul.<br>
<br>
David, thank you <br>
for contributing the ‘prophetic voice’ of Rev. Maggie
Helwig whom some may not know.<br>
(I know her church well. As a child, I lived nearby and
went to nursery school there and now sometimes go to Free
Times Cafe nearby.) <br>
I did not know that she has written a new book, ‘Encampment’
on her work, but I plan to read it and hope others in our
community will also do so. She certainly deserved the
award, <br>
but I had not known that it was the day before the police
dismantled the encampment at the church. (Many outside the
GTA are unaware of the inadequacy of our shelter system that
drives the homeless to encampments.)<br>
<br>
Dean, thank you for expanding our consciousness and not
limiting your contribution to a human voice but rather to
the ‘Cry of the Earth’. Your words embrace Creation Centred
Spirituality and the environmental movement. <br>
Thank you also for the analogy to Jonah and the people
of Ninevah. (On Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) the story of
Jonah is always included.<br>
<br>
(Perhaps we owe Brian a note of thanks for unknowingly
stimulating your reflection!!!)<br>
<br>
On behalf of the community I offer a special note of
gratitude and appreciation.<br>
<br>
