NA\u00cfVE APPROACH<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This letter is in response to the World Watch column in your Fall 2023 issu<\/a>e, \u201cWhat\u2019s Next for Asylum?\u201d These people are illegal aliens entering this country to do criminal acts \u2014 sex trafficking, drug trafficking, etc. These aliens are not \u201cfleeing persecution.\u201d Quite the contrary. Yes, innocent children are involved and the best protection for them is to remain in their own countries. Our citizens have become victims of crime on a large scale. Catholic organizations are too often not working with innocent asylum seekers, but criminals. To think otherwise is to take a na\u00efve approach. The law is fair, so let us observe it to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONG DISTANCE MISSION<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I just recently visited Maryknoll<\/a> headquarters in Ossining, New York, and saw my classmates (Class of 1967). For over six decades they have worked for social justice and human rights. Father Bill McIntire was in Peru and Bangladesh; Father Jerry Burr was in the Philippines; Father Jack Moynihan was in Bolivia, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Another of our classmates who lives at the Maryknoll center, Father Emile Dumas, was in Japan and served as superior for senior Maryknollers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are all still active in mission. From Maryknoll, they use social media and other platforms \u2014 e.g., Zoom, email, etc. \u2014 to communicate with their former parishioners and many organizations in their countries of mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quiet environment of Maryknoll allows prayers, meditation and the sacraments to be signs of grace. Long distance missionary work continues, regardless of age, health, or political and social conditions in the various countries of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPLIFTING PRAYER<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The last issue\u2019s photo meditation \u201cIn the Spirit of St. Francis<\/a>\u201d by Father Joseph R. Veneroso is wondrously cogent for our times. It is beautifully crafted and emotionally uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YOGA FOR ELDERLY<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In the Summer 2023 magazine, a writer from Wisconsin<\/a> writes that yoga is not compatible with Catholic doctrine. Yoga is the one exercise I have been able to do with these old bones, and now that I have aged even more, I do chair yoga. In my class there is a retired sister. I am sure if Sister Pat thought yoga was not compatible with her Catholic life, she would not be there in her chair, stretching and moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never has religion surfaced in my yoga classes. My instructor is a practicing Catholic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YOGA WORTH A TRY<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

How I love your magazine. In a world where news is 99% discouraging, it is a tremendous lift to read of the good work of your missioners. That said, I must respond to the opinion expressed by one of your readers that yoga is not Catholic. I am both a devout Roman Catholic and a practitioner of Hatha Yoga<\/a> since my 20s. At age 66, I am pain free, have full mobility and still train for triathlons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My daughter is a certified yoga instructor who specializes in adaptive yoga, including chair yoga. She helps people with disabilities, or who have had surgery, improve and recover mobility. The breathing and relaxation portion of her classes helps them attain peace of mind. Surely, this is the work of God. I know she considers it part of her service in the name of Christ. I have never noticed that yoga interferes with love and devotion to Our Lord, Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To your reader I say, try it! You might find it improves your life and your faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HISTORY OF YOGA<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I am writing in response to a letter expressing concern about chair yoga being taught in a Maryknoll mission. That reader stated that yoga is not a form of stretching but a form of worship, and contrary to Catholic doctrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I must disagree. Although when the practice of yoga was founded in India about 5,000 years ago, it was associated with Hinduism, modern yoga is not religion specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western style yoga was introduced in the 1800s in America. Hatha Yoga, the most popular form, is based on traditional practices of breathing, awareness and meditation. If the breathing and body positions are simply done for exercise and health, we are not honoring any religious belief by doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently heard a priest state that we as Catholics should devote the \u201c3 Ts\u201d to God: time, treasure and talent. He then suggested we could add a 4th T: our body is a temple, and we should take care of it, in order to give glory to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEAUTIFUL KINDNESS<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I read about the Maryknoll Student Essay Contest winners in the Summer 2023 issue<\/a>. The one that stood out for me was the third place winner in Division 1 who wrote about the Kindness Club in her middle school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you please let Olivia Volion know that she is on the right path \u2014 and to keep up the good work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother used to tell me that my grandmother always said, \u201cKindness is the most beautiful word in the English language.\u201d Olivia, I hope you continue your good work and maybe you can change the world. I think you are off to a great start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
