FORTY-FIRST FORTY DAY FAST
FOR THE TRUTH OF GOSPEL NONVIOLENCE
JULY 1-AUGUST 9
FAST FOOD, Third Helping
Jesus calls us to die to our tendency to seek control through the power of violence and to live by love instead.
If you respond to an aggressor with love – even to one who maims or kills you – what lasting harm have you suffered?
The teaching of Jesus is not just that we should refrain from killing our enemies, it is that we should love them – and love them as Jesus loves us.
NO POWER BUT LOVE

“Nothing is better or more necessary than love.
God is pleased with nothing but love.
One act of pure love is more precious in the eyes of God
and of the soul, and more profitable to the Church,
than all the good works together,
though it may seem as nothing.”
– St. John of the Cross
