From the Director

What a rich experience it is to share in this ministry of Eucharistic Evangelizing with so many dedicated people. Ongoing growth and development of our lay teams and the formation of new teams has been the focus of our energies here at the Center for Eucharistic Evangelizing. We are committed to the task that is set before us in this important ministry within the Church and for the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Pope John Paul states emphatically, "The new evangelization, which can make the next century a springtime of the Gospel, will depend very much on the lay faithful being fully aware of their baptismal vocation and of their responsibility for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Today it is often the laity who must be in the forefront in seeking to apply the church's teaching to the ethical, moral and social questions which arise in their communities or at the national level. The specific mission of lay men and women is the evangelization of the family, of culture and of social and political life."

John Paul may be weakening physically, however, his message is strong and clear. He sets before the whole Church the call to be evangelizers, men and women who hear the Word of God and put it into practice in our daily lives. We do this by placing the Eucharist at the center of our lives.

Recently I read an article by Dr. Nathan Mitchell, "People are the Point," that I would like to share with you. He reflects on the Eucharist as a task set before us, " to make heaven happen here, now, in our own time and place. There is no Eucharist without ethics, and no ethics unless we commit ourselves each day to improving the social and economic conditions of the world's peoples. It is the Christian's job to make this world a wedding, to make this earth a passionate paradise of pleasure, a garden of delights -for all. We do this by giving one another our selves, our bodies, our lives."

Marianne Sawicki expresses this point beautifully in her book, "Seeing the Lord." She sees hunger as the baseline competence we need for hearing God's word and for access to the Risen Lord. You "see" Jesus only by coming into contact with hunger by being hungry and by feeding the hungry. You "enter the kingdom" only if you root and snuffle around for it like a hungry infant wanting to nurse. God's kingdom is imaged as the table where there are places for everyone, and everyone has the place of honor, and everyone gets enough. The only table like that is the mother's breast, the table where someone smiles and says, take, eat my body, it is given for you, and where the little child has the place of honor forever.
Jesus gave us the Eucharist so that we could and would become what we receive, his body in the world. We, like the bread and wine, must be changed into the body of Christ, a holy people. Yes, we- with our dreams and wrinkles, our daily joys and sorrows, our gifts and failings, our efforts to love and to forgive the hurts we suffer. What gets changed at Mass? We get changed. In all other human experience, what we eat gets changed into us; at Eucharist we get changed into what we eat, the body of Christ broken in mercy for the world's salvation.

The richest resource we have to draw upon in our ministry of Eucharistic Evangelizing is the living presence of God in our daily lives. The gift we bring to the table is "the fruit of the earth and the work of our hands," it is our labor, our love, our sacrifices, the things that occupy our time, that which we hold in the depths of our hears. "Take, Lord, receive." This is what is consecrated and made holy by the Spirit of God at work among us. The Eucharist is the gathering of these gifts so that they may be blessed, broken, and shared with others.

As the year draws to a close, we celebrate Thanksgiving and we look forward to the birth of the Word made Flesh dwelling among us. May we always find this presence of our God within our homes and seated at our tables as we give thanks. May the food of God, found in a manger, remind us to be ourselves food to feed the hunger of others to know and believe in the love that God has for us, proclaimed and celebrated at Eucharist.

Bread and wine are changed so that we may be changed, and we are changed "for the life of the world." In giving us sacraments, God's plan was not to make Jesus a prisoner of bread but to make us a people of Good News of great joy, a joy to be shared with all people. (Luke 2:10) God has richly blessed our lives in calling us to this ministry of eucharistic evangelizing.

RAYS OF LITE: Vietnam & Senegal

Despite the fact that my early morning flight from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City was canceled and as a result I had to wait ten hours for the evening flight, the warm welcome that I received from my Vietnamese brothers and sisters far outweighed any inconvenience. This was my third visit to Vietnam since 1994 and I was truly delighted to see the wonderful progress that had been made in the development of the LITE movement in this extraordinary country.

A truly unique feature of our LITE teams in Vietnam is that their membership is composed of men and women from all three branches of the Eymardian family: SSS men religious, Sister servants, members of Servitium Christi (our SSS lay third order) as well as lay people from our SSS parishes. On May 5th, I met with representatives from the aforementioned (about 25 in all) to listen to a report of their progress given by Father Minh Nguyen Thuan, SSS and to put the finishing touches on the seminars that I would
be conducting for the rest of my stay in Vietnam.

Progress report on LITE in Vietnam
The SSS Fathers and Brothers in Vietnam administer two parishes, one in Khiet Tam and the other in Hai Duong. There are LITE teams in both parishes consisting of lay parishioners and SSS religious. The team in Khiet Tam was formed by me in 2000. The Hai Duong team was formed under the direction of Fr. Thuan. Both LITE teams have given seminars and both teams remain active. Because of the political situation in the country, great care must be given to how and when the seminar is offered. Despite these difficulties over 2,000 Vietnamese Catholics have benefitted from LITE.

The SSS Sister Servants have also formed a LITE team. They administer a large government school for learning impaired and deaf children. In 2000, I gave the LITE-1 seminar to about 25 of our Sisters. They in turn have brought the fruits of the seminar into the various parishes in which they minister. In addition, they have decided to offer the seminar to the parents of the Sisters. Once a year, the parents of the sisters come to the mother house for a day of prayer and celebration. The sister's LITE team has already given the themes of nourishment and reconciliation and will continue giving the three remaining themes to their parents ending in 2006. They have chosen to do this in order to share with their parents a taste of that in which their eucharistic vocation and mission consist.

Two members of Servitium Christi, Marianne Kim and Marie-Rose Bach have been very active in the Khiet Tam LITE team. Servitium Christi members run an orphanage for handicapped and abandoned children on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. Because of the kindness of Fr. Vincent Hoa, SSS (the regional superior of our communities in Vietnam), I had the great joy of being able to celebrate the Eucharist with the children and nearly all the Servitium Christi members in Vietnam.

Reception of LITE-II and LITE-I
Over 50 people participated in the LITE-II seminar that I offered at our regional house in Khiet Tam. My giving of this seminar was greatly enhanced by the brilliant translation of Fr. Peter Cung, SSS without whose assistance I would have been completely adrift. LITE-II is an introduction to eucharistic theology that examines the first testament antecedents to the Christian eucharist. The themes are covenant, sacrifice, memorial, berakah, and prophetic service. In order to bring these themes alive, I was able to use my talents for mimicry and non-verbal communication quite a bit. This often was accompanied by raucous laughter as the Vietnamese are not accustomed to highly extroverted North Americans, especially if they are priests. I was deeply impressed by the quality of the participation and the hunger present in all for a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the Eucharist.

In addition to the seminar above, I was able to offer the LITE-I seminar to about 30 temporary professed Sister servants. Again, the receptivity and enthusiasm present in the participants was exhilarating. As of now, approximately 50 Sister Servants have made LITE-1. The majority of these women are under the age of 40 which not only indicates the vitality of their present situation but witnesses to a hope-filled future for the ministry of eucharistic evangelization in Vietnam.

Dakar, Senegal
I was both excited and a bit apprehensive when my plane from Paris touched down at the Dakar airport on June 7th. This was my first trip to Africa (thus, the excitement) and the first time that I would be giving the LITE-I seminar and the team training program in French (thus, the apprehension). I was met by Fr. Denis N'Dene, SSS, the regional superior of our SSS communities in Senegal. During the trip home from the airport, Fr. Denis told me some interesting things about Senegal. The country is 90% Moslem and 10% Christian. The economy of Senegal is one of the most stable in West Africa. Unlike many of their neighboring countries, Senegal is not at war either externally or internally. Moslems and Christians live side by side with a high degree of tolerance and respect for one another. In fact, the name of our SSS parish in Dakar is St. Joseph of Medina (Medina being the name of the city in which Mohammed was born) and the Mosque in the downtown of Dakar is called Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart).

The LITE-I seminar was held at our second SSS parish in Dakar, St. Pierre des Baobabs. This unusual name, St. Peter of the Baobabs, is easily explained once one visits the grounds of the Church. There are several immense baobab trees that grace the property with their unique stature. At one time, I must have seen at least 200 birds resting on the gnarled branches of one of the trees. I knew that I wasn't in Chicago any more.

The people of Senegal have many languages. The dominant language in Dakar is Woloof. What enables the Senegalese to communicate to one another is the fact that they were a French colony, and thus, the majority of the people were educated in that language. When I introduced myself at the seminar at St. Pierre's as Fr. Bob, a good number of the participants chuckled. During the break, I was informed that Bob when pronounced in French (with a short "o" sound) was a very common last name among the Woloof. From that time forward, I started introducing myself as Fr. Mamadoo Bob, (Fr. Mohamed Bob), which every time I did resulted in great merriment. You see, Mamadoo Bob was a well known cabinet minister in the Senegalese government.

The Dakar seminar was well attended drawing between 80 and 100 participants each session. These participants came not only from our two SSS parishes but from neighboring diocesan parishes as well. In attendance were various representatives from other religious communities of men and women and of course a good number of our own SSS religious.

Koudiadiene, Senegal
A dozen or so kilometers outside the city of Thies (about 90 miles northwest of Dakar) is the rural village of Koudiadiene. This peaceful setting is home to our SSS formation community in Senegal as well as a mission church that our community administers. The people live in simple thatched huts raised about five feet off the ground. Their livestock nestle under the raised space to shade themselves from the intense afternoon sun. Having lived all my life in big cities, I envied the simplicity, tranquility, and relaxed pace of life that I witnessed among the people.
We were 30 participants for the LITE-I seminar in Koudiadiene: our SSS novices along with their Director, Fr. Antoine Makela, SSS, several religious sisters, a number of lay men and women, our SSS who work at the mission church, and a special participant, Fr. Luigi Brugnetti, SSS, the director of a center for eucharistic outreach in Kinshasa, Congo made up the assembly. While we were a relatively small group, the sharing among the participants was lively and rich. During the agape at the end of the seminar, a number of the participants spontaneously began dancing as one of our young religious began playing the drums. After about 10 minutes I could stand it no longer and yours truly was dancing up a storm.

Back in Dakar
I ended my visit to Senegal by offering the team training program at St. Joseph of Medina to participants from both the Dakar and Koudiadiene seminars. We were able to form two teams. Fr. Denis will accompany the Dakar team while Fr. Antoine will accompany the Koudiadiene team.
With the completion of this visit to Africa, we now have LITE teams on each of the habitable continents of the world. Senegal joins the following countries who participate in the LITE movement: Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Ireland, Philippines, Scotland, Senegal, Spain, United States, and Vietnam.

Another Important Step in the Life of LITE

An important next step in the life of the Life In The Eucharist movement was taken this October in Houston when Father Robert Rousseau, SSS met with fellow Blessed Sacrament Religious, Father Bill Fickel, Father Scott Haig, and Brother Joe Patrick. Joining them were Father Mike Grey from Rice University and Nancy MacRoberts. The purpose of the meetings was to design and structure a session of the LITE program focused on youth and young adults, to create a new vehicle for Eucharistic formation for younger people. The group feels it is important to keep in mind that when communicating with teens and young adults, to not be judgmental but rather be companions and sharers in their development. The content of the different sessions should be consistent with the existing LITE program but packaged differently in order to capture this younger audience.

There is definitely a crisis of faith in young Catholics, especially with teens. They see no relevance between their lives and the Church. Recent problems in the Church have created a growing suspicion and a credibility issue with them and yet a strong spiritual hunger exists. They are resistant to identifying with the Church or any institution but are drawn to programs such as Taiz‚. Father Bob feels that faith through imagination is the place to begin to develop the idea that Jesus is the greatest image of God. Kids will volunteer but how to get them to be generous for God is the challenge. We must excite and enkindle in them a new religious image. To do this, we must enter their culture, to speak to them in ways they like to listen. Instill in them practices they can put into their everyday lives. We must excite and enkindle in them a new religious image. Some ways of doing this are through the use of current and relevant movies, modern music, hands-on activities and prayer experiences. First of all, the audience needs to be identified and invitations issued. Begin with Catholic school students then include others from neighboring schools. Scheduling needs to be scrutinized - will it be an overnight event or a weekend, perhaps a lock-in. Consider conflicting activities such as their jobs and school sponsored events. A card will be devised to help survey the youth population and to discern the best day or time to schedule a session. Even the location of a session needs to be examined. Possible sites for this experience would be a gym, a retreat center or the program could be part of a camping experience. Invite them to gather where they are already gathering. Movement from one site to another will help overcome boredom and keep interest high. After much discussion and sharing of ideas, the following possible scenario was agreed as a possible premier session to be tried at St. Borromeo's Church in Albuquerque next year.

Eucharist as an Event of Reconciliation

1. Gathering with a theme song and gimmicky ice breaker; small group with introductions, possible adult witness, and food
2. Transition and preparation to topic of Reconciliation
3. Movie (Antoine Fischer suggested)
4. Activity to enhance the environment, the participants could possibly put together a table to be used as an altar
5. Integration Time with guided communal silence and possible opportunity for sacramental Reconciliation
6. Closing Eucharist with a hand washing experience in the homily; use letters solicited from parents describing their experience of Eucharist
7. Agape planned and prepared by parents or parishioners who have also been invited to the Eucharistic celebration.

St. Paschal Baylon Team

The St. Paschal Baylon Life in the Eucharist Team has really been busy this fall. They sponsored a half-day of Eucharistic reflection on Saturday, September 27, 2003. The title of the theological reflection was "The Unfinished Eucharist and the Witness of Our Lives". It was based upon an address given by Rev. Donald Pelotte, SSS at the second International LITE Congress in 1998 in Cleveland, Ohio. Thirty-seven attendees from seven different parishes around the Cleveland area came together to pray and to learn. Among those gathered were LITE team members from St. Paschal Baylon, St. Justin Martyr, St. Clare and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parishes. Frank Zalar from the St. Paschal Baylon team was the facilitator.
The afternoon began with a discussion of ways in which the Eucharist can be considered to be "unfinished" as viewed through the themes of Nourishment, Reconciliation, Transformation, Abiding Presence and Liberation. This was followed by a more detailed consideration of the themes of liberation, freedom and justice. The group considered what the New Testament says about these issues and also reviewed some contemporary theological perspectives on these themes. Prominent theologians, authors and members of the Blessed Sacrament Community were present through their writings and reflections. The final result of these reflections led the group to discuss ways in which the Church has endeavored to continue the mission of the Lord through works of mercy and justice.

The afternoon session focused on an engrossing video entitled "In the Footsteps of Jesus" produced by the United States Conference of Bishops. This video discusses the seven themes of social justice the Bishops have identified as the mission of the Church. It was a powerful witness of social justice and created in the group an awareness of what can and must be done. Based on comments from the participants, the day was a success. As one gentleman commented, "I have been a student of the Eucharist for many years but I never considered it as unfinished. This has given me much to think about." Those who worked so hard to put this afternoon together could not have hoped for any greater affirmation.

The LITE team hosted a reception as part of the parish's 50th Anniversary in early October. On October 26, the team prepared a delicious meal for a Dorothy Day Dinner at St. Paschal's inner-city sister parish, Christ the King, to feed the less advantaged people who live in that area. About 75 people enjoyed home-made meatloaf, potatoes, green beans, salad, rolls & butter, along with a variety of desserts prepared by the team. While the parish has donated funds to pay for these meals, the LITE team provided the meat and ingredients for the entree. "It is a way of practicing what we preach in Liberation," commented team administrator, Louise Borgione. "The team really put themselves forward and worked hard to cheerfully make it an enjoyable time for the people who attended. They are to be commended for doing the work of Jesus, and I was proud of their participation."

Fr. Tom Smithson joins St. Paschal Baylon LITE Team

Last August, the St. Paschal LITE team invited Fr. Tom Smithson to join their team. Fr. Tom graciously accepted with enthusiasm. He declared that he wants to be involved and desires to learn everything there is to know about the program. Unfortunately, at about the same time, one of the regular parish staff priests retired, which will force Fr. Tom to take on more parish responsibilities. However, he will do his best to give as much time as he can. The team is happy that Fr. Tom has arranged to be with them for the first time as they go to a parish on the west side of Cleveland on Nov. 22-23, where he will be involved as a table leader, do a skit, and perform various priestly functions. The team welcomes Fr. Tom on board! Fr. Tom replaces Fr. Anthony Schueller, who moved to New York from Cleveland about a year ago. Fr. Tony is greatly missed and the Team appreciates the time and talents that he provided during the six years he was with them.

United States Bishops' Conference on Evangelization

A new missionary component in parishes must address ways to get people inside, especially the young. A Call to a New Evangelization was the theme of a conference developed over a three year period by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat for Evangelization, the Archdiocese of Portland, and the University of Portland. Father Bill Fickel, SSS, Father Robert Rousseau, SSS, and Nancy MacRoberts represented the Blessed Sacrament Congregation and the Center for Eucharistic Evangelizing at this important meeting in July, 2003 in Portland, Oregon. At the institute were bishops, pastors, heads of religious communities, chiefs of diocesan and national church offices and parish ministers from the United States, Canada, Latin America and Great Britain. The purpose of the conference was to provide a forum for Catholic leadership to come together and reflect on the essential mission of the Church and explore ways to foster their respective ministries through the lens of evangelization.
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC, opened the conference inviting everyone to embrace a renewed sense of mission. As evangelization is intimately related to charity, kindness is therefore the "great key" to making Christian disciples. If we are unkind, arrogant or proud, we will never find people open to our message.

The ministry of Evangelization requires an awareness that one's own individual and cultural differences have a direct impact upon one's strengths and weaknesses in relating to others. What you say is never as important as what you do. A person gives witness by their actions! The gospel message invites the powerful to sit and listen and encourages the powerless to stand up and be heard. In our ministry of evangelizing, we are at the same time being evangelized. Creative use of all forms of media is essential to effective evangelizing efforts. In order to be an open and welcoming Church, dialog and communication are basic to the life of being Church. Effective evangelizing efforts require making use of imagination in making the Gospel known in all aspects of the mission of the Church.

As the Center for Eucharistic Evangelizing is developing a youth oriented LITE program, we were most interested in the outstanding speakers who addressed this aspect of Church. Particularly in dealing with youth and young adults, it is important to "keep the bread fresh". No one likes old bread but if you keep it fresh, they'll keep coming back. How important it is to get to know our younger Catholics and to be open to growth in faith along with them! Do we greet them by name as they arrive at the entrances of our churches? Do they feel not just invited, but welcomed? Are we (the insiders - the ones with the power) willing to sit and listen as we encourage them to stand up and speak about their experiences of Jesus? Do we listen to them as they tell the Jesus story, then tell it again, and tell it again, and tell it again!

There is an aging, empty-pew syndrome in churches today while there is also a new renaissance in spirituality. A new missionary component in parishes must address ways to get people inside, especially the young. The ability to pass on our faith to our children is crucial. It is important to read the signs of our times to discover what God is saying to us, to our young people. At times, the young can be belligerent and critical, but they are never our enemy. Old ways of relating to people may have worked in the past, but it is time to find new ways.

Catholics are being called to spend time in the "upper room" and be willing to wait for a "new Pentecost", to wait for an important moment in time.Catholics are being called to spend time in the "upper room" and be willing to wait for a "new Pentecost", to wait for an important moment in time. This new Pentecost may even happen at a church meeting where people are searching for new ways together. The Church is being urged to sit pro-actively in the "upper room" and wait for a new Spirit. If the old road doesn't go to a preferred destination, one must find "a new road". The past offers direction for the future. The mission of Christ, like the act of breathing in and breathing out, is the drawing in of life and then extending it out to others. Reaching out and drawing in is like an embrace, welcoming all into God's love.

A Letter From Fr. Bob Rousseau, SSS . . . . .

Dear LITE Team Members and Friends of LITE,

After 14 years of being engaged in the creating, promoting, and development of the LITE movement throughout the world, I have requested and received from my provincial superiors a sabbatical year for 2004. For those of you unfamiliar with the term "sabbatical", it derives from the Hebrew word "sh'b't" which means to rest, especially from one's normal preoccupations and work. On September 5th, I submitted a sabbatical proposal to our provincial council, and after dialogue and a bit of negotiation the proposal was granted.

After having been approved for this time off, I sent a letter of resignation from my position as the director of LITE international to my Superior General in Rome. In this letter I expressed my desire to be given a period of time to lie "fallow" and to take a break from the ministry of eucharistic evangelizing that I have been doing for a long time. Fr. General's response was very supportive. In it he expressed his gratitude in the name of the entire congregation for the gift that the LITE movement has been and continues to be in the life of the Church and among the SSS. I was both moved and humbled by his kind words.

My sabbatical home will be our SSS community at St. Jean Baptiste (184 E. 76th St., New York, NY10021-2844 - Tel. 1-212-288-5082) on the upper east side of Manhattan. If all goes well I hope to move to my new home before Christmas of this year. Until then, I can still be reached by e-mail (rousseaur5@aol.com) or by phone at our Chicago community (1-773-684-5770).

My primary goal during my sabbatical is to write a book entitled "Eucharist and the New Evangelization". The book will be both theological and pastoral. I hope to draw upon my last 15 years of ministry to fashion fresh insights on how to implement the new evangelization called for by Pope John Paul II though catechetical programs on the eucharist for dioceses, parishes and other Catholic institutions. This project will allow the fruits of my ministry to reach a larger audience within the Church.

During the sabbatical, I will not be available for retreats, workshops, conferences, etc.. I will be available for lunch or dinner, so please, if you visit "the Big Apple" give me a call. I would love to spend some time with you.

Please keep me in your prayers and be assured that you will be in mine. At the end of the sabbatical year, I'll write you all again to let you know what God has in mind for me for 2005 and beyond.

In Jesus, our Life,
Fr. Bob, sss

Our Lady of Guadalupe LITE Team News

The bright colors of fall in Cleveland find our Our Lady of Guadalupe LITE Team busy preparing for our next presentation. We don't have a seminar until January 30-31, 2004, however, we will continue to meet bi-monthly to pray, prepare and support one another in Christ.
Much of our preparation has focused on marketing and promoting for the LITE program. Respnding to the need to expand our evangelizing efforts, Trish Numbers, Anne Brower, Allen Seavert and Joe Kost volunteered to form a special committee to promote the LITE program. They continued to work this past summer to devise a plan to "get the word out" to others. This plan includes, but is not limited to, letters sent to friends and family promoting LITE. We have a very unique team, as we are willing to go just about anywhere - Does anyone have family or friends in Hawaii? We are so grateful to this special committee for all their time and effort. They and all our team are continuing to do an exceptional job!

This year has been a busy one for our team. Last February we presented a LITE program to St. John Neumann Parish in Strongsville, Ohio. March 28-30 found Joe Kost assisting the LITE Traveling Team with their presentation in Hanover, Pennsylvania.

We don't want you to think our team is all work and no play. Sometimes we combine the two. Last May our OLG Team assisted in hosting the National LITE Administrators meeting at the Blessed Sacrament Provincialate. Coming together on Friday night for a wonderful dinner with our friends from around the country was a real morale booster!! It was a great way to kick off a working weekend. Along with all the brainstorming, our team assisted the other Cleveland teams in providing food and refreshments for all. We would like to thank all who gave so freely of their time and talent. A special thank you to all the S.S.S. who led and attended the meeting. Their input and encouragement gave us great strength to continue on this evangelization mission.

During the year we also try to get together several times just to socialize. Trish Numbers and her husband, Scott hosted a Christmas party for us last December. Food was abundant and we even sang Christmas carols with the help of Ken DiPippo on piano. In June we all attended "Late Nite Catechism", a live comedy performance about Catholic grade school education, where the audience becomes part of the interactive play. We knew we were in trouble when an announcement was made prior to the performance that "Sister" would have her eye on the Life in the Eucharist team from Our Lady of Guadalupe, as she was pre-warned that we were known trouble makers! Needless to say we throughly enjoyed our fun time together. August found us gathering at Joe Kost's home for a summer picnic. Everyone was having such a good time, they didn't want to leave. So as you can see, we have been very active spiritually as well as socially. Our Lady of Guadalupe sends regards and prayers to all our LITE brothers and sisters in Christ.

News from Atlanta, Georgia

Contrary to the last issue of HI LITE, LITE in Atlanta is alive and well thanks to Dottie O'Connor, the Coordinator of LITES for the Archdiocese. Dottie writes that a seminar was given at St. Mark's Church in Clarksville, GA in June, 2003. This was the second time the team had been invited to that parish. Even though they are a small parish, they have a very active interest in Eucharistic Adoration. It's great to know Atlanta is continuing in the LITE movement.
