Sister Kathrn Hermes, FSP, who edited the book, explains:
“Now, more than ever, we need to stand with our Haitian sisters and brothers, both those in Haiti and their friends and relatives around the world
worried about their well-being.
“This e-prayerbook is a useful way to focus intentions and be in spirit with those who need us most.
“Let’s get this into the hands of millions of people around the world who can’t go to Haiti in person but can pray. The Haitians are giving us an impressive example of faith and prayer. Let us lift up their needs now that they will be able to rebuild their lives, their church, and their nation.
“Tweet it, embed it in your blog, post it on your own site or Facebook page. Use the prayers in bulletins, prayer groups, parishes or in the silence of your own heart.

Avatar: Riffing with Myth
By Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP
“People can say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that what’s we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within out innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alone. That’s what it’s all finally about, and that’s what these clues (myths) help us to find within ourselves.”
– Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth, 1988
James Cameron’s much anticipated animated 3D epic Avatar is the most expensive film ever made, coming in at about $300 million. It is a science fiction adventure that takes place in the future and asks what all worthy sci-fi films wonder about: what does it mean to be human? Are we who we say we are, or are we avatars, both the captains of our own destinies as well as the victims of our own machinations?
