"If you would learn more, ask the cattle, seek information from the birds of the air. The creeping things of the Earth will give you lessons, and the fishes of the sea will tell you all.There is not one such creature but will know this state of things is all of God's own making. God holds in God's power the soul of every living thing, and the breath of each person's body." (Job, 12: 7 - 10, modified slightly for inclusive language)

–XVII World Assembly Presentation and Retreat with the communities in Courtenay by Catherine Kelly
As our region continues to grow, we are aware of some challenges, such as not having enough group guides and systematic formation programs; not having a solid CLC organizational structure and active leadership teams with rich CLC experiences and knowledge.
As we enter into the Season of Advent, I would like to follow the example of our Blessed Mother. With openness, courage and generosity, she pronounced her "fiat" and stepped into the uncertainty at the Annunciation. With love, gratitude and trust, she sang the magnificat at the Visitation. Like Mother Mary, I want to give thanks to the Good Lord for all the gifts He has given to the Rockies/BC region in the past year, and entrust our challenges to Him for the Holy Spirit to guide us.
Please keep our region in your prayer and we will keep you in our prayers too. May the Holy Trinity unite us as we continue to follow Him and serve Him together as brothers and sisters of CLC Canada. With gratitude and blessings,
Janet Ho

CENTRAL REGION
A CLC Canada Central Region Day of Reflection was held on October 6, 2018,
The theme was "Sharing the Graces of the CLC World Assembly
with Trevor Scott, SJ,CLC Canada Ecclesial Assistant and World Assembly delegate
“How many loaves have you? Go and see.”
Mark 6:30-44
In Buenos Aires we gathered as a world community rooted in our national experiences as Christian Life Community members to “stand back, take stock, and look around,” as Project 168 invited us to do and to seek “to make ourselves sensitive to the signs of the time and movements of the Spirit,” as our 6th General Principle calls us towards. This was a world assembly of appropriation.
What did we appropriate? What have we learned about ourselves? What are our gifts as a Christian Life Community? How many loaves and fish do we have as a community to share with others? How is the Holy Spirit moving us in our world after 50 years of CLC evolution?

“And God said: Let there be light…and there was light.”” Genesis 1:3
Central Region enters the 7
th
year on mission with our Haitian brothers and sisters. September 2011 marks the membership communal apostolic discernment (CAD) to support Haitians in rebuilding following the earthquake of 2010 as our communal apostolic mission(CAM). Central members are in collaboration with the Jesuit community in Hispanola who discerned education and spiritual development are the top priorities in the rebuilding process.
Generosity and Gratitude Fall 2017 – community discernment to support the Jesuit mission school, St. Ignacio Educativo (Domincan Republic) through member contributions @ $50.00 per member annually. This amount allows Central members to support the children at $4000.00 annually. In 7 years our contribution has been raised by $1000.00 supporting certified teachers and nutrition breaks as well. LET’S Be Generous AGAIN! $24,000.00 CA over 7 years have been sent to support children who are graduating into the public school system and out of the slum. And God said “ Let there be light!” and “It was good.”
7 Insertion Trips: 14 CLC/CVX members have made the trip in 7 years! JP Horrigan, Marilou Gonzales , Susan Tomenson and Carmen Hurtubise went on the insertion trip 2017 with Fr. J.P. Horrigan. Shelley Koehler was on mission for 2 months in Ouanaminthe just south of the recent 5.9 earthquake. The faithfulness of Central’s YES has led to an unexpected surprise: Canada’s national Godparenting of CVX Haiti.

ATLANTIC REGION
The Atlantic Region held their Fall Regional Council meeting on the weekend, Oct. 19 - 20th in Summerside, PEI.
The Theme
was
“Taking on the Heart and Mind of Christ within the Church and the World”.
We asked for the Grace:
To seek the wisdom and courage required to be committed CLC contemplatives in action
We identified
CLC Areas of Common Mission:
World …. Family – Globalization & Poverty – Ecology –Youth (the Four Frontiers)
National … in solidarity with World CLC priorities…. to work for justice on behalf of the
environment, the marginalized, the oppressed and for people living in poverty
Regional… As the CLC Atlantic Region we are called to place our gifts at the service of the poor, assisted by ongoing CLC development for this mission
Scripture: Mark 6:30-44
"How many loaves have you?... Go and see."
General Principle #8… (par. 3): The field of CLC mission knows no limits: it extends to both the Church and the world, in order to bring the gospel of salvation to all people and to serve individuals and society by opening hearts to conversion and struggling to change oppressive structures.
We started on Friday by gathering in our small groups to share the communal life of each community with the other communities that were present.
The following issues were prominent: 1. Mission is emerging as a stronger pillar. 2.The deep desire to discern a mission is more evident. 3. Living the 3 pillars of CLC – Community, Mission and the Spiritual Exercises – was marked and affirmed. Forward movement was experienced by most groups. The Spiritual Exercises were acknowledged as being fundamental.
Saturday morning began with Session 1,
“Looking ahead…Going Deeper with Sustaining Outreach”
This session expanded on previous discussions around sustaining CLC groups and help in forming new communities. We recalled last year’s presentation about growth by guest speaker, Lois Campbell (CLC USA). In the spring 2018 we continued the spiritual conversation with a focus on looking ahead and sharing our CLC vocation. This fall members shared about heightened energy and concrete strategies for going forward.
In Session 2: This session included “A reflection and appropriation of the CLC World Assembly 2018” led by Michelle Mahoney with support from Fr. Trevor Scott. Catherine Kelly had been Skyped in on Friday evening to our delight. Having input from these 3 World Assembly participants and Peter Chouinard was a treat. At the World Assembly two graces stood out the most: 1. deepened understanding of the great gift of CLC to the World and 2. the importance of being true to this CLC Way of live and ongoing formation in Ignatian Spirituality. This Assembly did not come with recommendations. It was more of a discerning time.
In Session 3, “
A Regional Reflection on Continuing Revelations from within Our Church”,
we focused on the continuing revelations of sexual abuse from within our Church. Our Regional coordinator, Sandy Mudge, began our reflection and then Fr. Trevor, continued the discussion. Trevor spoke to the issue of sexual abuse within the Church by referring to an article by Fr. Gilles Mongeau, theologian and teacher, who invites us to see this issue in the light of the First Week of the Exercises, which is to acknowledge both personal and social sins.
It was a challenging session but offered a safe place to explore this reality.
During our business meeting, we addressed the costs of our upcoming National Assembly. We agreed to create a list of fundraising ideas that could be shared with all.
The National
Working Group for the Ecology Frontier wrote four articles. One is a spiritual exercise of reconciliation with God's creation, in the spirit of the Examen. It will appear in the next newsletter. In addition, we sent an invitation to a member in each region asking for a submission (2 of 4 did).
We meet in two weeks to reflect on our next actions, and look at
1. how we can encourage members from all regions to submit articles and
2. how often we should publish in update.

Doug McFarlane
completed his journey on January 12th 2018. Doug along with his loving wife Heather have been involved in many ministries through out their marriage and for many years were members of Earthen Vessels Christian life community. There are no words to express what a gentle soul Doug was and how he lived his life giving everyone the dignity they deserve We would like to reflect on his journey, living his last few years with dementia. Doug began to lose many aspects of his life, his job, driving his bike, his car and gradually his words. But Doug never lost his ability to show his love for others with a smile and a hug. At mass for a long period of time he was able to pray for those incarcerated in our jails and when his words failed him others would complete his prayer. At his community gatherings his gentle presence always touched his fellow community family. Through out this journey Doug’s love for Heather was always evident they could be seen dancing at the care home; and the care givers were touched by his gentleness with Heather and with the staff. On his last day Doug waited for Heather to arrive and spend a few minutes with her before taking the last step on his journey. So many of us will miss this gentle giant but his legacy will live on.

Gertrude Marilyn Mooney
1943-2017
Gertrude
went home to be with our Lord on June 11, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. Gertrude was a Permanent member of the World Christian Life Community and a member of her local CLC community, Nativity CLC for nearly twenty years.
Gertrude was a graduate of St. Francis Xavier University and a Masters of Education graduate of Mount St. Vincent. She was a well-known and beloved teacher at St. Vincent’s Girls School in Saint John NB until her retirement. As her obituary said; “If you knew Gertrude, you loved her.” A gentle loving person who lived for her extended family and for her faith.
Gertrude was a trained Spiritual Director and Prayer Companion of the Atlantic Association of Spiritual Exercises Apostolate. She was a faith companion for her own extended family, her CLC family and those she directed and journeyed with but also to anyone who was in need of a hand up.
Gertrude was also a big supporter of the Divine Mercy Catholic School in Saint John and really, very aspect of her life was devoted to love and faith of those she met. A long distance runner, she ran both the Boston and New York Marathons.
We are blessed indeed to have Gertrude interceding for CLC in Canada and we are so very grateful that God brought her to CLC and the Spiritual Exercises.
As Jesus and St. Ignatius know, we have a great friend in Gertrude. Rest in Peace dear friend.

Helen Drago
, of Waterloo, ON, passed away on October 10, 2018. She was 94. Helen and her husband, Lou, were members of the first CLC group in English Canada, started by John English, SJ. John English's gift was to bring together, in a beautiful unity, Ignatian community formation and the personally directed Spiritual Exercises. Helen exemplified this approach. She contributed to CLC formation efforts, early National Assemblies, and her own CLC community. She was an Ignation spiritual director and many have benefited from her guidance. Helen was a librarian, dignified and refined, with a lovely, deep voice and we always appreciated the input talks she gave at our various CLC formation and Assembly efforts. I and many others, are grateful for her CLC presence and work. Helen and Lou were founding members of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Waterloo. She was also a member of the St. Vincent de Paul society and the refugee committee of Our Lady of Lourdes. Helen and Lou raised six children. She was a grandmother and great-grandmother; a life well lived.

SILENCE
There is a space
where there is no sound
and senses are enhanced by silence -
the aperture to the falcon
hanging in mid-air
by the string of a breeze
and eyes catch the 16th notes of dancing leaves
the soundless melody
of breathed streams swishing through them.
What was sought once
is shed for freedom.
All coverings dropped
to receive the last of what is
revealed as Prize.
Grace Colella
: I belong to CLC’s newest group, Hearts Afire, which boasts a wide ethnic diversity (members are from the Philippines, East India, Scotland and Canada) as well as a gamut in ages which ranges from 30 years of age to the 80s. We gather every two weeks at the Mary Ward Centre in Toronto, where we have generously been given space by two Jesuit action groups. For this we are grateful. “It’s like a little home or safe space to meet and share…and break bread after!” (Shaun Malone)

A Gift For The Land (ATLANTIC REGION)
One of the best outcomes of an environmental problem happened in New Brunswick within the last decade. It centered around the issue of hydro fracking or shale gas development. Hydro fracking is an industrial method of capturing natural gases from the geological parts of the earth using sand, chemicals, water and hydraulic pressure in combination.The potential problem of (
Tim's grandson at the blockade
) hydro fracking is found in the communities in North America where groundwater sources for drinking water have been polluted (e.g. Dimock, PA; 2014). This is caused by the fracturing of rock and the resulting cross connection of chemicals and aquifers.
Exploration of possible shale gas sites were first noticed by the general population of New Brunswick and one of them, Harry Laporte, Grand Chief of the Maliseet Grand Council stated in a CBC post (June 21, 2011), that hydro fracking would harm the water supply of the province. At the same time Cecilia Brooks, an official with the Canadian Rivers Institute, stated that many of the First Nations people were concerned over shale gas development.
In our small community in central NB, we were drawn to the arrival of seismic testing equipment on a rural road outside the village. Neighbors, Don and Mary McDonald, related to us that they travelled to the site of this entourage of machinery. Gathered there in protest were local citizens numbering 200 or more and they were there for the better part of the day. The community responded by individuals and a restaurant sending food and coffee. At the end of the day, Mary asked an elderly Tobique First Nation lady if she would be heading back into the city for accommodation that night. Surprisingly she answered that she would be staying right there on that forestry road! Other peaceful demonstrations took place over the next few years, which led to an eventual moratorium on shale gas development by the government in 2014.
Our Ignatian awareness of our environment can be expressed in Pope Francis’ Laudato Si, and it proposes a new integral ecology which responds in a unified way to the two greatest challenges of our world today.” We are faced with not two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.” (LS 139)
Our striving as a western country for an increased GNP has led to an extraordinary need for more fuel at any environmental risk. This striving can be contrasted with our CLC General Principle no. 4 (part one, Our Charism); “We aim to become committed Christians in bearing witness to those human and Gospel values within the Church and society which affect the dignity of the person, the welfare of the family and the integrity of creation”. Further prayerful expression of this GP can be found in week 3 of The First Spiritual Exercises conceived by St. Ignatius and adapted by Michael Hansen s.j. ”I see How God Dwells in Creation”.
Tim McWade
and his wife Joanne are members of Living Water CLC (Saint John NB). They live in Stanley NB. Tim is retired from DND at the Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisor for CFB Gagetown (and the Town of Oromocto). Previous to this, he worked for Dept. of Environment in NB and was self-employed at Maritime Water Test.

Ecology Pillar (CENTRAL REGION)
One of our four pillars is ecology. I have found concern for creation was a value picked up from my family in childhood so this pillar resonates with my worldview. Composting and a garden was a constant and creatures found in hike’s were respected. I remember my Dad always gutting fish that he caught and leaving the entrails ‘for the turtles’. The present day extreme weather events are a reminder that our stewardship of the earth isn’t keeping pace with the destruction and neglect it faces. What can be done?
When I read of others’ action to build a sustainable home, of business’ using solar water heating or solar panels, of green roofs, dry cleaners stopping the use of toxic chemicals, the rise in organic farming and produce, more ecologically friendly cleaning products, electric or hybrid cars, I’m inspired to decrease my footprint on the earth also.
It can be hard to determine what is best sometimes as a hybrid car uses less fuel, but when manufactured requires more resources or cotton clothing doesn’t shed artificial fibres but the production of cotton isn’t resource sparing. I find adding an ecological aspect to the examen helps me to regularly review my actions and situation and then I discern what I’m able to do. As an individual, my actions have little effect but when I think of my community also acting and my region and country and World CLC, then I feel hope that progress can be made.
The ‘water examen’ that CLC has as a tool, I have found, is a good way to look at my water usage. David Suzuki Foundation has resources for green cleaning products, and sustainable use of seafood. He also suggests native plants for the garden and to attract and feed beneficial insects. There are ‘carbon footprint’ tools on-line to help evaluate our transportation and living effect on the earth. Decreasing meat consumption, planning more to prevent food waste, choosing food grown within a 100 kilometre radius, using transit more or better yet, walking or cycling, all are things that are positive. Let us strive to renew our efforts as individuals, communities and a region, and to inspire one another, so that this pillar is a strong one and we are the best stewards we can be of our earth and our world.

Regarding Lake Winnipeg, (PRAIRIE REGION)
I, Sharon, am writing this on behalf of
Kairos
CLC. My husband and I live close to Lake Winnipeg – in Gimli, Manitoba. The others of us in
Kairos,
(Lake Winnipeg, from VRBO.com
) who live in Winnipeg,regularly make the hour’s drive to Lake Winnipeg for recreational purposes. Going to “the lake” is a distinctive part of the summer culture of Manitobans, and Lake Winnipeg is visited by more than any other. Because of its vast size, Lake Winnipeg is described by many as an inland ocean. It is one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes and it is the last remnant of the huge glacial Lake Agassiz, formed from runoff after the last ice age. Through the rivers that flow into it – the Saskatchewan, Assiniboine, Red, and Winnipeg Rivers-- its watershed reaches into significant parts of four Canadian provinces, four American states and multiple First Nations. Almost one million square kilometres in size, this watershed is home to more than seven million people (Government of Manitoba). During the summer months, along the shores of the lake itself, especially the lake’s southern basin, the population swells by tens of thousands of cottagers and countless tourists. The lake holds habitats that includes marshes and other types of wetlands where one will find various kinds of fish, birds, beavers, muskrats, otters, skunks and other wildlife. The marshes and wetlands help filter algae-causing phosphorus and other nutrients from the water.
The causes of the algae blooms have been very diverse, but they include a massive increase in the use of
fertilizer
across the massive prairie of Canadian and American farmland that drains into the lake; the burning of
fossil fuels
; the development of large urban populations creating large volumes of sewage; and an upsurge in land clearing and
deforestation
, as well as destruction of the lake’s filtering wetlands, to accommodate various human activities. All of these impact the lake in loss of
habitat
, changes in biodiversity and, in some cases, loss of recreational potential. For example, the blue green algae or cyanobacteria’s decomposition process consumes oxygen at such a high rate that this can actually suffocate Lake Winnipeg’s native
walleye fish species
—a staple of local fisheries--- and other aquatic life. As well, the
toxins
that blue-green algae release can destroy fresh water ecosystems and can be dangerous for humans and other species. Commercial and
aboriginal
fishermen on the lake often find their nets temporarily disabled during the summer months because of the thick algae conditions. The Lake Winnipeg algae crisis has grown to such an extent that the blooms can be seen from outer space.
In 2015 there began a major, ongoing and probably now permanent infestation of zebra mussels, which are also known to be devastating to the life of a lake.
A news report from September 17th, 2017 brought disheartening news. “After five years and millions of dollars spent, a federal program aimed at improving the health of Manitoba's biggest lake has barely made a dent in the levels of phosphorus fuelling toxic blue-green algae blooms.”
Also, on July 26th, 2018, raw sewage poured into Lake Winnipeg. People were warned to stay out of the water in Gimli Beach and surrounding beaches due to high levels of e-coli.
The following is an article on the issue of aging wastewater infrastructure by the Lake Winnipeg Foundation, an organization that is doing a lot of work to save the lake:
All of this is cause for concern by many that the lake is dying. I often voice this concern with others in the community. I have not as yet joined the Lake Winnipeg Foundation but at least one member of Kairos has supported the foundation since its inception, and I expect that one day I will join as well, as I do feel drawn to this environmental concern. Educating myself on this issue is one of the first steps. There is a lot of information to delve into on the website for the Lake Winnipeg Foundation
https://www.lakewinnipegfoundation.org/
.
The LWF proposes 8 actions as a “road map to a solution,” but it is in Action 8, that we can find the ordinary, daily actions and new habits to which every citizen in the watershed can commit themself:
“Action 8 of the Lake Winnipeg Health Plan, titled Taking Responsibility, encourages Manitobans to take action in ways such as:
- Conserving home water use.
- Buying phosphate-free soaps and cleaning products.
- Communicating information regarding this issue to our family, friends and neighbours.
- Demanding best practices from industry – and rewarding businesses that make smart choices with our patronage.
- Supporting environmental organizations pushing for change.
- Telling decision-makers that the health of Lake Winnipeg matters – and holding them accountable to their commitments.
The Lake Winnipeg Foundation website states: “Many everyday actions will lead to a healthier Lake Winnipeg and watershed. We all have power. We all can play a role in the solution.”
As a part of CLC, with its Ignatian orientation, I am very aware that all is connected – we are all connected to one another and to nature. From here on Lake Winnipeg, where I live and the rest of
Kairos
plays, we are able to see the ecological ramifications of that deep connection constantly playing out in front of us. So, it makes sense that what we do in our community here has impact on our community in CLC and beyond.
Sharon and Kairos Community, Winnipeg

AN ADVENT REFLECTION
If you want, the Virgin will come walking down the road pregnant with the holy and say,
“ I need shelter for the night, please take me inside your heart, my time is so close.”
Then, under the roof of your soul, you will witness the sublime intimacy,
the divine, the Christ, taking birth forever, as she grasps your hand for help,
for each of us is the midwife of God, each of us. Yes there, under the dome of our being does creation come into existence eternally, through your womb, dear pilgrim– the sacred womb of your soul, as God grasps our arms for help: for each of us is his beloved servant, never far.
If you want, the Virgin will come walking down the street pregnant with Light and sing.
(A poetic expression of the writing of St John of the Cross (1542-1592), by Daniel Ladinsky in his book, "Love Poems From God: Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and the West")
