Join Mairead Maguire in fasting for children of Gaza
Pax Christi International‘s Catholic Nonviolence Initiative sent out the following message today. Pax Christi USA encourages our members and supporters to prayerfully consider joining in this powerful witness:
We invite you to accompany and support the 40-day fast of Mairead Maguire for the children of Gaza. Mairead is a Noble Peace Prize laureate and a member of the Advisory Council of Pax Christi’s Catholic Institute for Nonviolence.
Fasting is a profound expression of active nonviolence, embodying self-discipline and a commitment to peace. It is a nonviolent protest, a means of resistance against injustice, and a powerful form of prayer that shifts focus away from physical needs toward spiritual nourishment.

Mairead Maguire, you are brave and good and exceptional and represent the country of Ireland that is brave and good and exceptional (Ireland was the first European nation, shortly later followed by Spain, to tell PM Netanyahu that genocide is unacceptable and that Ireland will not be his co-conspirator).
I haven’t the guts or the courage to fast.
But I’m with you mentally and send you my love and admiration.
