These audio recordings, collectively titled The Stations of the Cross of Nonviolent Love, contain personally assimilable and liveable meditations on specific dimensions of Christ’s Nonviolent Love as he endures each of the 14 stations of the cross, emerging finally at 15th station, the Resurrection, having conquered evil and death.
It is hoped that these meditations will help nourish the understanding that the Christian cannot desire freedom from the cross of Nonviolent Love because the Christian has been specifically chosen to reveal the power of the cross of Christlike Love.
“Nonviolent Love 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 open tomb.”
Fr. Bernard Häring,
The Healing Power of Peace & Nonviolence
