PRICES: Global wheat prices are plummeting in the wake of massive overstocks and anemic consumption. The problem is serious enough that Canada, the world’s top producer of durum wheat, has cut its production nearly in half, to a six-year low. Even those drastic measures have had failed to raise prices, which are down about 30 percent from 2016.
THOUGHT: Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God: for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice and mediocrity and materialism and selfishness that have chilled his faith. -Thomas Merton.

London Letter (Edited)
Prisoners Under the Terror Gain Freedom on Intervention of American Ambassador and
British Foreign Secretary
LONDON (by Air Mail), July 30.From Our London Correspondent.
Through the personal intervention of the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, the Barcelona Government
has released twenty-eight Spanish nuns from. Red territory. The nuns, members of the Society of the Sacred Heart, were taken on board the British battleship Hero at Barcelona, and last week-end they arrived in London. Very significantly, the Red Government imposed a condition of silence on the nuns before allowing them to go—they must grant no interviews, keep away from Nationalist sympathisers, and "abstain from politics." These nuns primarily owe the safety they have now reached to the American Ambassador in London, Mr. J. P. Kennedy. Some months ago, on
his arrival in London, he went to the Sacred Heart Convent, Roehampton, to make arrangements for the education of his daughters. While he was talking with the Reverend Mother, she mentioned the plight of thirty-four nuns of her Order in Red Spain and asked him to use his influence to secure their release. The Ambassador immediately took up the matter with the Foreign Office, and pressed his pleas so successfully that Lord Halifax made it a matter of his own personal concern, too. In addition, the Home Office agreed to waive all the aliens’ restrictions, both with regard to entry and length of
stay in the country. The difficulty then remained to get the Barcelona Government to move, and that was finally achieved.

NOVEMBER INDULGENCES for the Faithful Departed: At this time of the year, the Church invites us to remember our Faithful Departed and to give them a special share in the prayer of the Church and the Saints. Because of this, particular forms of prayer attract either a ‘partial indulgence’ (bringing the faithful departed closer to heavenly glory) or a ‘plenary indulgence’ (bringing on of the faithful departed into the fullness of heavenly glory.)
On All Souls’ Day visiting a church to pray an Our Father and a Creed carries with it an indulgence.
Between 1 November and 8 November, visiting a cemetery to pray for the Faithful Departed carries with it an indulgence.
One indulgence can be earned in any given day.
For the indulgence to be a Plenary (or Full) indulgence, the following are required:
1. To receive Holy Communion within 20 days of the indulgence
2. To make a Sacramental Confession within 20 days of the indulgence
3. To pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.
4. To be without attachment to/affection for sin.
