Why Prayer?
One of the things that sets Pax Christi apart from
other peace organizations is our emphasis on the spirituality of nonviolence.
When we take time to center ourselves, be open to the voice of God whispering
guidance, and maintain mindfulness in the midst of chaos, we believe we are
better able to focus on what God calls us to do to find peace within our own
lives, and then with our families, our neighborhoods, our country, and our
world.
Take some time today to quiet your mind and body, breathe deeply, remember the
things for which you are grateful, and listen for the Voice that always speaks
to us when we pause to listen.

Peace is the marriage of the people
and the planet, with all attendant vows.

The Peace Pulpit:
Homilies by Bishop
Thomas J. Gumbleton
"God's word has extraordinary power, and if we listen to this word and
the scriptures that we hear today and pray about it, reflect on it,
perhaps we'll get some of the same confidence, that same awareness that
God has spoken, that God's word is not empty. It will bring about what
God has spoken. We will have a sense of hope rather than a sense of deep
discouragement and even despair."

Fr. John Dear
"Now,
let me get this straight: Jesus says, 'Blessed are the peacemakers'
which means he does not bless the war-makers, which means we are cursed
if we make war, which means that to follow Jesus we have to be about
making peace, which means we cannot support this awful evil war on Iraq."
