The Season for Nonviolence marks the annual 64-day period between the memorial anniversary of the assassination of Mohandas K. Gandhi on January 30 and that of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4. Co-founded in 1998 by Arun and Sunanda Gandhi, along with the Association for Global New Thought, the Season teaches that every person can move the world forward in the direction of peace through daily nonviolent choices and actions.
The Franciscan Peace Center has created a series of daily one-minute video reflections on nonviolence recorded by the Sisters of St. Francis in Clinton, Iowa. These inspiring messages will be released daily throughout the Season for Nonviolence, starting on January 30th.
You can watch a sneak peek at the first reflection of the season HERE. The theme for this day’s message is "courage."
We invite you to listen to, ponder, and share each new daily reflection. The recordings will be posted daily on the Clinton Franciscans website and will also be available periodically on Facebook. The best way to ensure you don’t miss out is to click here to sign up and receive the daily reflections directly via email.
Thanks for all you do to practice nonviolence and help bring about a more peaceful world for all!
