Finally,repparttar perseverance andrepparttar 126680 development ofrepparttar 126681 social apostolate cannot take place withoutrepparttar 126682 availability of qualified Jesuits and co-workers. Therefore, I encourage Jesuits involved inrepparttar 126683 social apostolate and those responsible for formation to co-operate in setting up well-designed programmes, within a Province or inter-Provincially, such as GC34 asks: ‘Young Jesuits should be in contact withrepparttar 126684 poor, not just occasionally, but in a more sustained manner. These experiences must be accompanied by careful reflection as part ofrepparttar 126685 academic and spiritual formation and should be integrated into training in socio-cultural analysis.’ The normal formation should provide scholastics and brothers withrepparttar 126686 social studies and apostolic experiences that will help all to grow in social-mindedness, allowing some to encounter inrepparttar 126687 social apostolaterepparttar 126688 sector in which they can fulfil their own personal and priestly vocation torepparttar 126689 Society.

Our non-Jesuit co-workers, too, should be assured really good access torepparttar 126690 Society's spiritual heritage and apostolic experience, wherefrom they can draw as they integrate their personal background and gifts. Opportunities for learning, reflection, prayer and on-going formation need to be offered our co-workers with, always,repparttar 126691 greatest respect for their religious convictions. Some experiences already showrepparttar 126692 Characteristics to be a useful resource for these purposes.

9. ‘Christ came to unite what was divided, to destroy sin and hatred, and to reawaken in humanityrepparttar 126693 vocation to unity and brotherhood.’ The crying needs ofrepparttar 126694 poor,repparttar 126695 radical demands ofrepparttar 126696 Gospel,repparttar 126697 insistent teaching ofrepparttar 126698 Church, andrepparttar 126699 prophetic calls of our General Congregations, leave us far from complacent with our response. ‘The commitment ofrepparttar 126700 Society to a radical life of faith that finds expression inrepparttar 126701 promotion of justice’ has been, is and will be a great grace for us all. Much fine work is already being done and much renewal is already underway. With profound gratitude we appreciaterepparttar 126702 work done inrepparttar 126703 name ofrepparttar 126704 whole Society by social works great and small, byrepparttar 126705 Jesuit Refugee Service and many Jesuit Volunteers.

These few pages suggest why and how to strengthenrepparttar 126706 social apostolate, locally and beyond, so thatrepparttar 126707 social dimension ofrepparttar 126708 Society's universal mission may find ever more concrete and effective expression in who we are, what we do, how we live. ‘How muchrepparttar 126709 Society will accomplish’ - declared Father Janssens atrepparttar 126710 end of his Instruction – ‘if only we unite our forces and, in a spirit of oneness, gird ourselves humbly and resolutely forrepparttar 126711 work before us!’ Mayrepparttar 126712 Lord Jesus, withrepparttar 126713 intercession of Mary our Mother ofrepparttar 126714 Magnificat, enlist us ever more fully and radically as servants of His mission. Fraternally yours in Christ,” (5)

JIDDHU KRISHNAMURTI: - After all that ‘stuff’ it is hard to write about a man of spirit and perhaps one ofrepparttar 126715 true messiahs. At this juncture in my writing I have placed a great deal of information in front of anyone who would have readrepparttar 126716 previous dozen and more books. This information seldom states exactly what is going on withrepparttar 126717 likes of Jefferson or Krishnamurti for a good reason or two. One of those reasons is – I do not know exactly what influenced their lives and to what extent. I do know they both had esoteric teachers connected torepparttar 126718 Hermetic and ancient knowledge. The other reason has to do with how much I do know about all this stuff because I have studied it for decades. I know few people could possibly grasprepparttar 126719 full potential or meaning of these things and even inrepparttar 126720 area of politics and their social inputs this is true.

due to so _ called freedom, humanity is suffering from AIDS, Depression, suicide, destruction in family system, lack of inner peace, divorce etc. This man _ made laws had deprived women of its honor or status. Parents are thought as burden and here deprived mother of her due place. It present women(mothers, daughters, sisters, wives) on sale. Either inrepparttar form of prostitution, or inrepparttar 126679 form of advertisement where women is presented as a tool to attract customers. This reflect in a non _ Islamic or partially _ Islamic societies, how much they are respected. At present, by a survey report, for every 21 minute, one women is molested. and for every 51 minute, one women is sexually harassed. Why ? I ask you why ? Surveys can do nothing except make you think. I can tell you! Humans have strayed from Islam, which isrepparttar 126680 only solution (panacea) to all problems. Moreover, forrepparttar 126681 ease of women, earning by her is not obligatory in Islam. Instead, father, brother, husband or children are responsible to care her, as she is performing her role of daughter, sister, wife or mother respectively. so, in this way, she can lead a life easily and happily as beingrepparttar 126682 queen of her family! For Muslim women, I would like to mention that Ayahs 30 ---> 31 (Surah Noor) 33 --->34, 59 (Surah Ahzab) are about pardah, which Islam teaches forrepparttar 126683 welfare of women and society as whole
