Spring, 2003
From the Executive Director What does war do to us as human beings? What is happening to our heart and soul and spirit as we carefully calculate plans for unspeakable violence? The stories of survivors of war in this issue of Stauros notebook are priceless gifts. They remind us of humanity’s need to be grounded in the Divine Heart of love and compassion. Peace reigns where justice prevails.
Stauros stands as a witness to God’s enduring love
for people of all nations. I am happy to announce a
new program that will help us extend our reach in
bringing this message of love, hope, and peace to
those who are suffering. The Stauros Center for
Compassion and Healing is partnering with the Holy
Cross Province of the Congregation of the Passion to
develop a Bureau of Passionist Presenters. These
vowed religious and lay presenters will be available
for seminars, retreats, and reflections. More
detailed information on the Bureau of Passionist
Presenters will be available in Summer 2003. Did you know that each issue of Stauros Notebook is available on audiocassette? This is a wonderful gift for those who are visually impaired and would like to stay in touch with the unique ministry that is Stauros. A one-year audiocassette subscription is $20 and two years is $38, the same price as the printed version. Your subscription, whether print or audiocassette, is an important, positive action that helps sustain our ministry and mission. Your financial support is very encouraging and deeply appreciated. Thank you to all who have recently become subscribers, and to all who have contributed either to the Stauros Center for Compassion and Healing for program support or to The Stauros Fund for general operating expenses. Your gifts make a world of difference! Finally, I am saddened to inform you that the Stauros U.S.A. Board of Directors recently voted to postpone the Access to the Land of the Bible study trip scheduled for August 2003. We are very committed to resuming this unique trip to the Holy Land when it is more feasible to do so. All of us here at Stauros continue to cherish life in the midst of suffering. Let us pray for peace in every heart, in every nation on earth.
