Novena for Hiroshima: Day 6

Nuclear weapons do not appear by accident. They are designed, financed, manufactured and defended. Every nuclear missile passes through human hands.

Novena for Hiroshima: Day 5

The Hibakusha did not choose revenge, they chose witness. Their lives proclaim that suffering need not breed hatred, but rather an incarnational proclamation that love is stronger than death.

Novena for Hiroshima: Day 4

Jesus never promised that love would keep us safe, comfortable, or popular. Yet by his life, death, and resurrection, we are called to be co-creators in bringing peace through justice into our world.

Novena for Hiroshima: Day 3

Nuclear deterrence asks us to believe that threatening millions of our sisters and brothers with annihilation keeps the peace. This is the myth of redemptive violence.

The Cross tells another story – that Jesus’ way of redemptive nonviolence is how God’s kingdom breaks in.

Novena for Hiroshima: Day 2

The greatest victory of nuclear weapons is not their destructive power; it is to convince us that to hold such weapons of mass destruction brings “security” and “peace”.

Jesus calls us to speak truth to power.

Matthew 13:44-52

18th Sunday of ordinary time, year A.

Jesus is looking for some time off, to get away and grieve for his great friend John the Baptist.

But the crowds have another idea, which leads to feeding of five thousand.
