Thursday Theology of Gospel Nonviolence (6) "Every work of mercy suffers from the same pitiless reversal as soon as war is declared. Human beings are made to suffer the agonies of thirst, hunger, nakedness, homelessness, untreated disease, and captivity, when they are not killed outright. The same evils are inflicted on civilian noncombatants as on combatants." - Eileen Egan, co-founder of Pax Christi USA, in Peace Be With You (Orbis Books, 1999), 149. Get Involved Contact Us

For this Thursday's Theology of Gospel Nonviolence: Eileen Egan says the works of mercy are reversed by the works of war, and all become victims of it. @paxchristiusa #Nonviolence, #EileenEgan, #MiddleEastConflict, #War, #Peace, #FaithAndJustice, #CatholicSocialTeaching, #Iran, #USIranConflict
