Kevin has been for a colonoscopy this week which he found really stressful as he had to fast for 24 hours beforehand but was starving after the first hour. He also has a confession to make about the Trocaire 24 hour fast. As it's Mother's Day, the theme for the week is unconventional mothers and the lads read submissions shared by listeners of the people in their lives who, while not their biological mothers, have stepped into that nurturing role. They also discuss people in pop culture who are giving mother and sorry to Megan Trainor but you are not giving mother you're giving cousin.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

On this weeks podcast, the C&SI team is joined by Jane Mellet from Trocaire to talk to us this week about the 2024 Season of Creation which starts on 1st Sept 2024 until Oct 4th with the theme "To Hope and Act with Creation". We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends for the coming week and some local notices.Our part 3 as always is our reflection on the Sunday gospel, and this week we return to journeying through the liturgical year with St Mark's gospel. The gospel this week (Mark 7:1-8; 14-15, 21-23) challenges us to ask ourselves the question of whether our actions comes from our hearts or whether we respond social expectations and outward show! Season of Creation 2024 - "To Hope and Act with Creation"In the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans, we see the biblical image of the Earth groaning (Rom 8:22). Today we hear the cry of the Earth all around us. The times we live in show that we are not relating to the Earth as a gift from our Creator, but rather as a resource to be used. And yet, there is hope and the expectation for a better future. To hope in a biblical context does not mean to stand still and quiet, but rather actively striving for new life amidst the struggles.The Season of Creation has a special significance for the Catholic Church, particularly since Pope Francis established 1 September as an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation following on the example of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholmew. The Season of Creation is marked throughout the Christian world from 1 September to 4 October (Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi) and celebrates the joy of creation as well as encouraging awareness-raising initiatives to protect the natural environment.Resources available for this year:Irish Bishops Conference resources - hereTrocaire resourcesSeason of Creation - 2024 resourcesLaudatio Si Movement resources

Welcome back to this weeks podcast here on C&SI. John and Shane are delighted to welcome Jane Mellet back on the podcast to speak about the 51st Trocaire Lenten campaign which this year takes as its theme -   ‘Let Justice Flow Like a River, Righteousness Like a Never-Failing Stream.'We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends for the coming week and have our reflection on the Sunday gospel which is Mark's account of the Transfiguration and what the event of Mount Tabor speak to us today about. Trocaire Lent 2024This year the Lenten campaign focuses on water justice and shares with us the life of Malita and her family from Malawi sharing with us the twin travels of too much water and too little water exacerbated by the effects of climate change. Travelling so far for water each day affects other parts of the lives of Malita and her children, Margaret, Patrick and Patricia. Carrying 20 litres of water leaves the children tired and some days they are not able to go to school. Farming is an important part of how the family support themselves, but a lack of water makes farming difficult or too much water washes away crops and soil nutrients. Trócaire and their partners in Malawi are working to create solutions to the water shortages, such as digging bore holes close to villages.General information about the 2024 Lenten campaignFamily resource - Lent 2024: Nurturing our Family Faith in Nature

The United Nations is to vote on demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Unlike a vote in the Security Council last week, no one country has the power to veto the resolution at the UN's General Assembly. It comes as four EU countries - including Ireland - are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza ahead of an EU summit this week. Meanwhile, the Tanaiste says Ireland is also looking for sanctions to be imposed to what he calls 'extreme terrorist settlers' in the West Bank. Speaking in Brussels, Foreign Affairs Minister Michael Martin says he wants to see the EU take a common approach to the issue, but that Ireland could act if on its own if necessary. Closer to home, Clare County Council has endorsed calls for a trade embargo on Israeli goods as well as an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. It follows a proposal passed at this month's meeting of the local authority, which sought an unequivocal condemnation of the bombardment of innoncent civillians in the enclave, along with an appeal for the release of all hostages on both sides. To explore all of this further, on Tuesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Eamon Meehan, Chair of Sadaka, the Ireland Palestine Alliance and Former Director of Trocaire, Kilmaley native.

On this weeks podcast Jane Mellet from Trocaire joins Shane and John to  help us go through the new papal exhortation "Laudate Deum, to all people of good will on the climate crisis". It is a document intended to follow up on his 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si', On Care for Our Common Home and sets out Pope Francis challenge to the world (not just catholics) around the climate crisis and the lack of progress in dealing with the issue. We have our regular run through the liturgical space in the coming week, some local notices and of course our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel (Matthew 22:1-14) in part 3 which looks at the parable this week of the invitation to the wedding feast. Laudate DeumSo what is it? Jane takes us through the document published on 4th Oct on the last day of the Season of Creation. It is an apostolic exhortation which is a teaching document from the pope, which often aims to exhort (encourage) a particular virtue or activity. Like many papal encyclicals, apostolic exhortations have often developed themes of the Church's social teaching. This exhortation has been called a follow up to Laudato Si' and the title reflects this. Like Laudato Si' this new document reminds us of the words of St Francis' prayer-poem, the Canticle of the Creatures, which praises God by praising God's creation. Pope Francis states specifically that the title of this letter is “Praise God” because “when human beings claim to take God's place, they become their own worst enemies.” (#73) By this he means that when we seek power for its own sake we damage both ourselves and the planet. Power should be used to create a better world for all.Text of the exhortationVatican Dicastery for Integral Human Development - video introductioniCatholic - Interview with Tomas InsuaLaudato Si Movement webpage on Laudate DeumCafod - Laudate Deum: Your questions answered on Pope Francis' Apostolic ExhortationThe Pillar - ‘Laudate Deum': A brief guide for busy readersVatican News - Laudate Deum and COP28

As we journey through the Season of Creation 2022, John and Shane are joined on this weeks podcast by Sr Betty Baker to speak and reflect on this years focus and theme of  “Listen to the Voice of Creation”. “I have heard their cry…I know their sufferings…Come, now! I will send you…I will be with you” (Ex 3: 1-12). The burning bush is the Symbol for the Season of Creation 2022. In addition we have our regular reflection on the Sunday gospel - this week looking at Lukes parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Lk 16:19-31). We have our regular run through the saints of the coming week as well as other odds and ends.Season of Creation 2022 - Listen to the Voice of Creation The Season of Creation is marked throughout the Christian world from 1 September to 4 October (Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi) and celebrates the joy of creation as well as encouraging awareness-raising initiatives to protect the natural environment.The theme for the Season of Creation 2022 is “Listen to the Voice of Creation”. “I have heard their cry…I know their sufferings…Come, now! I will send you…I will be with you” (Ex 3: 1-12). The burning bush is the Symbol for the Season of Creation 2022. Today, the prevalence of unnatural fires are a sign of the devastating effects that climate change has on the most vulnerable of our planet. Creation cries out as forests crackle, animals flee, and people are forced to migrate due to the fires of injustice. On the contrary, the fire that called to Moses as he tended the flock on Mt. Horeb did not consume or destroy the bush. This flame of the Spirit revealed God's presence. This holy fire affirmed that God heard the cries of all who suffered and promised to be with us as we followed in faith to our deliverance from injustice.In this Season of Creation, this symbol of God's Spirit calls us to listen to the voice of creation, to the voices of those who suffer the impacts of climate change, to the voices of those who hold generational wisdom about how to live gratefully within the limits of the land. These are voices of the Earth. The global Christian family is called to awaken to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and with each other and to encourage our parish communities to do the same, “for we know that things can change!” (Laudato Si', 13).  Available resources:- Limerick diocese- Conference of Irish Bishops- Season of Creation website - Trocaire

Prof. Schuller explains how neoliberal policies and NGOs crippled Haiti's economy, and Haitian women shouldered the burden. Haitian migrants are at America's Southern border in unprecedented numbers. While many have fled Haiti after the recent assassination of its president, last month's earthquake and the flooding that followed, the overwhelming majority of Haitians are refugees from the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. This begs the following question: how is it that Haiti hasn't recovered from its 2010 earthquake, despite all the international assistance that it received? Professor Schuller dives into the history of Haiti's earthquake recovery, and what role NGOs have played in Haiti. He is a professor of Anthropology and Nonprofit and NGO Studies at Northern Illinois University and its affiliate University in Haiti. Professor Schuller has been studying NGOs and Haiti since the beginning of this century, and he was on the ground in Haiti just 8 days after its calamitous 2010 earthquake. This is the link to Professor Schuller's academic homepage, which includes a list of his many publications and accomplishments To continue our free podcast program, we depend on our listeners' support.

What is it like to lead a national health service through a global pandemic?  In this episode of The EY Podcast: CEO Outlook, Paul Reid, CEO of the HSE, talks to Richard Curran about the personal and professional challenges of steering Ireland's health service through the Covid-19 crisis. This is not the first time Paul Reid has managed a large organisation through a time of deep crisis. As he tells Richard, “I'm still wondering whether I follow [crises] or they follow me”. In what will be valuable advice for CEOs in companies of types and sizes, Paul reveals what he has learned about people, leadership, and managing stress during very tough times. Paul Reid has operated at senior levels across several high-profile organisations, including Fingal County Council, Trocaire, Eircom, and The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. He has managed thousands of team members at a time; negotiated with governments, boards, and trade unions; and has been tasked with executing widespread reform of work practices, pay, and staff numbers. Now, as CEO of the HSE, Paul Reid is arguably facing his biggest challenge yet: reforming Ireland's health service during one of the most severe global pandemics in history. This is a role he sought out, and one in which he deeply believes. In this wide-ranging and personal interview, Paul Reid talks about:+ How his working class background contributed to his effectiveness as a leader.+ Why he felt ‘at war' with the government, trade unions, Department of Health, and staff, when he took up the role as HSE CEO – and how he handled it. + The key to creating win-wins and preserving relationships during tough negotiations. + His honest thoughts about the handling of nursing homes and private hospital contracts during Covid-19, and whether the 2m social distancing rule should be reduced to 1m.+ His biggest regret, favourite film, business mantra, and the CEO he admires the most.

John has an interview with Meabh Smith from Trócaire about the 2016 Lenten campaign. Trócaire launched their 43rd Lent campaign on 11th February, the biggest annual fundraising campaign in Ireland. For the first time, this year's Trócaire box features people from Ireland, celebrating Trócaire supporters, who are fighting for justice for the world's poor.The Trócaire boxes come to Limerick as charity thanks people from the Diocese of Limerick for raising €182,919 last yearLast year, The Diocese of Limerick raised €182,919 to support Trócaire's annual Lenten campaign, which according to the charity, has supported thousands of people living in devastating poverty across the developing world.

On this weeks programme John is joined by Fintan from Trocaire and Fr Derek Leonard of Limerick diocese to speak about Trocaire's 2015 Lenten campaign.This year, Trócaire's Lenten campaign highlights how communities in developing countries are struggling to survive in the face of extreme changes in their weather systems. Climate change is now a leading cause of poverty in many of the communities where Trócaire works. Hundreds of millions of  people rely on agriculture for their daily survival.  But unreliable rainfall, storms and floods are making it increasingly difficult to grow crops. With your support and solidarity, Trócaire is working with affected communities to adapt and cope with the unpredictability of the changing climate. This includes finding alternative water supplies, diversifying crops, sustainable land management and being prepared for extreme weather events when they happen.

In this podcast a number of interviews. AnneMarie Smith from Trocaire discusses their global gift campaigns, Paul Brosnan of Irish Forestry Fund is in-studio to discuss how forestry is one investment option that's bucking the trend. We interview Loretta Lambkin from Dublin Docklands Authority and Tom Shanahan, Master Franchisor for Ireland for Kendelbell.
