The Guardian, June 2011
“What I want to achieve—what I have been striving and pining to achieve these thirty years—is self-realization, to see God face to face. I live and move and have my being in pursuit of this goal. All that I do in way of speaking and writing and all my ventures in the political field are directed to this same end.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
The Story of My Experiment with Truth
“Fear not. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is not here. He is risen!”
Mark 16:6
“It is not possible to speak of Christ’s sacrifice while ignoring the role of nonviolence. Nonviolence belongs to the mystery of the Redeemer and redemption. The test is whether one shares in that mystery. Christ has shown that nonviolence is strength. The effectiveness of nonviolence is ultimately the empty tomb.”
-Rev. Bernard Haring, C.Ss.R
The Healing Power of Nonviolence
