U.S. Social Forum a Mechanism for Change
"Heavily influenced by critical pedagogy, the USSF attempted to move away from a standard conference model of panels with “experts” presenting their knowledge to a passive audience. Instead, organizers urged a more participatory model of collaborative workshops to bring people together to solve common problems together."

""There is now no doubt of the growing wave of popular sentiment in favor of an efficient public health program," we wrote in 1939 as a similar debate fractured the country. "This National Health bill can die or be delayed in committee; can be defeated in either Congressional house; can be emasculated at almost any point in the legislative process." It ultimately was."

Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

Saint John the Baptist, Pray for Us!

John 3:26-30

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him." John answered and said, "No one can receive anything except what has been given him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said (that) I am not the Messiah, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease."

Items on Ronald Coase

2 PDFs:

1) The Problem of Social Cost - 1

2) The Problem of Social Cost - 2

@ 12:33 mins.-(***update-sorry for the broken link-it's fixed now) Ronald Coase - "but the rights to perform certain actions, and the rights which individuals possess are established by the legal system. While we can imagine in the hypothetical world of zero transaction costs that the parties to an exchange would negotiate to change any provision of the law which prevents them from taking whatever steps are required to increase the value of production, in the real world of positive transaction costs, such a procedure would be extremely costly and would make unprofitable, even where it was allowed, a great deal of such contracting around the law. Because of this, the rights which individuals possess, with their duties and privileges, will be, to a large extent, what the law determines. As a result, the legal system will have a profound effect on the working of the economic system and may in certain respects be said to control it.

It is obviously desirable that these rights should be assigned to those who can use them most productively and with incentives that lead them to do so and that, to discover (and maintain) such a distribution of rights, the costs of their transference should be low, through clarity in the law and by making the legal requirements for such transfers less onerous. Since this can come about only if there is an appropriate system of property rights (and they are enforced), it is easy to understand why so many academic lawyers (at least in the United States) have found so attractive the task of uncovering the character of such a property-rights system and why the subject of "law and economics" has flourished in American law schools. Indeed, work is going forward at such a pace that I do not consider it overoptimistic to believe that the main outlines of the subject will be drawn within five or ten years."

The Sacred Heart of Jesus & Conclusion of the Year For Priests

Consecration Prayer - To the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart.

This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.

I therefore take You,O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger.

O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart,for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory,
living and dying in bondage to You.
Amen.

But you also gave yourself

In the fullness of love for your creature!"

"ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE ANOTHER US IS NECESSARY"
"Amidst National Political Transformation, The UNITED STATES SOCIAL FORUM Brings New Hope for Change"
"Over 20K people. Over 1500 creative actions. 2 weeks to redefine democracy."
"The USSF is also part of a global movement on the rise. The World Social Forum (WSF) has become an important symbol of global movement convergence and the development of alternatives to the dominant paradigm. Over the past nine years, the WSF has gathered the world’s workers, peasants, youth, women, and oppressed peoples to construct a counter-vision to the economic and political elites of the World Economic Forum.

"Understanding that WE, as activists, artists, community organizers, media makers, are the change agents we have been waiting for...... the PMC has created these living principles to address and challenge hierarchy within our movement."

Holy Spirit, come into my heart; draw it to Thee by Thy power, O my God, and grant me charity with filial fear. Preserve me, O ineffable Love, from every evil thought; warm me, inflame me with Thy dear love, and every pain will seem light to me. My Father, my sweet Lord, help me in all my actions.

May my heart be ever inflamed with the love of God and my neighbour; may my will be ever in conformity with the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to whom, with the Father and thee, Holy Spirit, be honour and glory for ever.

NOTE THE PRESENTERS! PELOSI & STEELE TOGETHER!

With A NETWORK REP and Sr. Carol Keehan.

"We are pleased to announce that Catholic Democrats's board member, James Roosevelt, Jr., and president, Dr. Patrick Whelan, will be presenting on two timely panels at this conference. Jim will speak on the healthcare panel along with Sr. Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Hospital Association. Patrick will be presenting on a panel entitled, "The Catholic Vote: 2008, 2010, 2012" along with Mark Stricherz, author of the book, Why the Democrats are Blue: How Secular Liberals Hijacked the People's Party (2007).

Other presenters at this meeting for concerned Catholics will be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Pennsylvania Senator Robert Casey, GOP Chairman Michael Steele, journalist E.J. Dionne, political scientist Fr. Thomas Reese, pollster John Zogby, NCR's Vatican Correspondent John Allen, and two former Vatican Ambassadors, Thomas Patrick Melady and R. James Nicholson. The keynote address will be delivered by Sr Simone Campbell, the Executive Director of Network, who played a leading role in amplifying the critically important voice of America's nuns in support of health care reform."

I don't know what Steele thinks he is doing...or hmmm...does he really know? Yes, HE DOES! 'Playin' it'!

I don't know how you feel....but this one feels like a HUGE KICK IN THE STOMACH...AND A KNIFE IN THE BACK...AT THE SAME TIME!

Pray, hope, and don't worry!

Get out there and get your work DONE!

May

Where did the time go? Wasn't it just Christmas? Here we are at the beginning of May... Mother's Day! Gosh!

See Fr. Mark Kirby's post...

And a reminder...The Year of the Priest is almost finished. Let us promise to continue to pray for all priests, all Bishops, the hierarchy, and most especially for our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVII.

We have an aweful lot of prayer work to do, let us not be overwhelmed or afraid; let us move forward with our hope and trust IN HIM!

In this month of May let us learn to lovingly and joyfully accept HIS Will for our lives asking for much grace!

Happy Mother's Day!

THE BEAUTY OF MOTHERHOOD

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears.

Turn, then, most gracious advocate,thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus;
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Dialog of Catherine Siena
A TREATISE OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE

How the desire of this soul grew when God showed her the neediness of the world.

This desire was great and continuous, but grew much more, when the First Truth showed her the neediness of the world, and in what a tempest of offense against God it lay. And she had understood this the better from a letter, which she had received from the spiritual Father of her soul, in which he explained to her the penalties and intolerable dolor caused by offenses against God, and the loss of souls, and the persecutions of Holy Church.
