This is the reincarnation of an earlier blog started in 2011. When the time comes, the older posts will be found under archives. The need to live nonviolently was brought home to me powerfully during the Chapter meeting of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace (CSJP) in 2008. Since then I have read a lot, joined a few groups, taken a few actions and generally tried to examine my life and daily actions in the light of the Gospel call to love one another as we want and deserve to be loved . We CSJPs even have a card to help us in that daily reflection.
There have been ups and downs, but a trip to Calais, France to live and work with refugees has been a reason to write again. If these ramblings are of benefit you can let me know. If not, I am sorry, but I needed to write them anyway.
Dear Frank & Sheena
I have been thinking of you both and holding you in prayer.
The work you are doing is sacred. Your writings bring a personal face to what the world is experiencing and mostly ignoring.
Thank you both for taking the time to share your journey with us.
Blessings of Peace
Nan Lavoie
