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.

In this brief video, Mairead explains her reasons for fasting. If you are able to join Mairead’s fast for one day or more in support of her important witness, please sign up here: Fast in solidarity with Mairead Maguire and prayer for the children of Gaza.

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.
