OVER AND ABOVE ALL THIS:

The Church dreams of people becoming

persons reflecting God’s image in themselves, their actions, their beings.

The Church also dreams of a community that:

1. speaks and listens,

2. a community that discerns and decides together 

in implementing their decisions,

3. prays and celebrate their joys and sorrows

together,

4. honestly looks at what they had done and failed.

“What is the cause of poverty?” 

The root problem is the “gross

unequal distribution of wealth.” Some people have more than they 

need while the rest do not even

the basic necessities of life.

 You are not making a gift of your 

possessions to the poor person. You are handing over to him what

is his. For what has been given in

common for the use of all, youhave arrogated to yourself. The

world is given to all, and not only

to the rich.PP #23

One of the greatest injustice of the

contemporary world consistsprecisely in this: that the ones who

possess much are relatively few and

those who possess almost nothingare many. It is the injustice of the

poor distribution of the goods and

services originally intended for all.

The Ring of Fire is a zone of frequent earthquakesand volcanic eruptions that encircles the basin of the Pacific

Ocean. It is shaped like a horseshoe and it is 40,000 km

long. It is associated with a nearly continuous series of 

oceanic trenches, island arcs, and volcanic mountain ranges

and/or plate movements. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt.

90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the

world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The

next most seismic region (5-6% of earthquakes and 17% of 

the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt which

extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the

Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. The Mid-Atlantic

Ridge is the third most prominent earthquake belt.

Manila - The fourth devastating super typhoon in as

many months battered the Philippines, setting off avolcanic mudslide and widespread flooding that killed at

least 109 people and left dozens more missing, officials

said on Friday.

Glen Rabonza, head of the national office of civildefence, said 200 body bags were being shipped to the

disaster zone at the request of provincial officials. With

power and phone lines downed by powerful winds,

helicopters were carrying out aerial surveillance of cut-off 

areas.

"Our rescue teams are overstretched rescuing

people on rooftops," Rabonza said after President Gloria

Macapagal Arroyo was briefed on the storm's aftermath.

  A writer wrote that the Filipino culture is adamaged culture characterized by a failure in

nationalism, total devotion to those within the

circle, total war to those outside, a contempt for 

the public good, submission to doctrine andauthority and national ambition to change

nationality. How do you react to this? Do you

agree with him? Why?
