The Lenten Journey of Gospel Nonviolence (Part 6)

  On the Road to Peace by John Dear S.J.    Tuesday, March 11, 2008  
       Vol. 2, No. 27  

The story of Lazarus, Martha and Mary, a story of death and despair, life and hope, not only climaxes John's Gospel (11:1-45, from last Sunday) before the last supper and death of Jesus, it sums up the work of God in the world -- to liberate humanity from the culture of death and call us forth into the new life of nonviolent love and resurrection peace.
