“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. — Mark 16:6

April: For a Nonviolent Culture
Vatican News – English on Mar 30, 2023
“Living, speaking, and acting without violence is not surrendering, losing or giving up anything, but aspiring to everything. As Saint John XXIII said 60 years ago in his Encyclical Pacem in Terris, war is madness. It’s beyond reason. Any war, any armed confrontation, always ends in defeat for all. Let us develop a culture of peace.
“Let us remember that, even in cases of self-defense, peace is the ultimate goal, and that a lasting peace can exist only without weapons. Let us make non-violence a guide for our actions, both in daily life and in international relations. And let us pray for a more widespread culture of non-violence, that will progress when countries and citizens alike resort less and less to the use of arms.”

Between thoughts and prayers, I would choose thoughts — they may lead somewhere. Here’s what I’ve been thinking: Capitalism causes alienation, and thus leads to the violence that you’re praying to end. Here’s how it works: If we don’t share, then we are rivals instead of allies; your loss is not my loss and may even be my gain. That leads to fear, hate, lies, racism, sexism, shootings, etc. If you’re a Christian, I recommend the Book of Acts; it includes some good sharing. But anyway I wish you a good Easter.
Thanks, Lefty.
