TemplumJonas Mekas: As I was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I saw Brief Glimpses of BeautyBy borges, Section Templum
I never understood life around me, the real life as they say, or the real people. I never understood them, I still don't understand them and I do not really want to understand them.
Social Justice Stations of the Cross--4/2By borges, Section Templum
The following is an invitation from Pax Christi and the AMOS Restorative Justice Task Force and Predatory Lending Task Force to persons interested in participating in a Good Friday Social Justice Stations of the Cross.
A Social Justice Stations of the Cross 10:00 A.M. Good Friday, April 2
A 1.6 mile route through downtown La Crosse The event, organized by the La Crosse area Pax Christi group, is inspired by the traditional Stations of the Cross processions that Christian communities lead prior to Easter. But while we will be commemorating Jesus' journey to the cross 2,000 years ago, we will also be praying for those who continue to suffer and cause suffering in our world today. The nature of the walk will be contemplative. We will move in silence. At each station - the Franciscan Spirituality Center, St. Clare Health Mission, VFW, Lincoln Middle School, Salvation Army, Job Center, Jail, a payday lender and the Cathedral - we will say prayers around various ways people suffer in our society today and for hopeful ways forward. The return trip from the Cathedral, our final station, to the Franciscan Spirituality Center is about two-thirds of a mile. Pax Christi (Peace of Christ) is an international peace-making group rooted in the Catholic tradition and the non-violent model of Jesus.
If you have questions, please call the Franciscan Spirituality Center at 608-791-5295 or e-mail fscenter@fspa.org. Holiday Music--VivaldiBy borges, Section Templum

Something Good to do on Christmas EveBy borges, Section Templum
[Posted for June, who is never too busy to help a good cause (she is the one on the left in the linked picture)]
Hello all parents and friends of children, This is a request from Church Women United asking us to contact our Senators to ask them not to compromise or trade off the present CHIP legislation that is so important for low income children. There will be a lot of horse trading in reconciling the Senate and house bill--read the info below. [in the full story]
You may think you are too busy to make a call. But I bet the weather has changed many of your plans and you find you have more time on your hands than you expected. What a good use for it, thanks, June

Below is a nice secular Christmas song, with a generous offer (if you like the artists, and you like the idea of giving a goat as a gift.) Oh just watch the video for the song and details at the end.
found on the site onegoodmove.org that is chock full of secular Christmas songs this season and other good posts. Homeless Persons' Memorial DayBy borges, Section Templum
The winter solstice marks a day to remember those less fortunate. As you tuck yourself into your warm bed tonite, say a prayer for all those who have no place to lay their head in warmth, comfort and safety on this longest night of the year. (via June Kjome)
(1 comment) Comments >> The Forest by David ScharfBy borges, Section Templum
Antonia is a 12 year old girl. She often has daydreams, in which she wanders off into a magical far away forest, where she hides from the problems of the real world. One day, however, her father takes drastic measures and she has to face a decision.
Is your inner peace a utopian state only when you escape the grip of society and its rules? [maybe a reason you live in the Kickapoo Valley or visit here?] In the Animated Short "The Forest" by David Scharf, the protagonist has to cope with this question and her hostile environment and finds a simple but radical solution.
