URBAN MONK: “These searing, insightful, and painfully honest meditations by an ‘urban
monk’ allow each of us to look more deeply into our own hearts and experiences. They
provide touchstones for a path to better understand the everyday graces that God so
elegantly and quietly offers throughout the day,” writes Paul Wilkes about Mary Lou
Kownacki’s new book,
A Monk in the Inner City: The ABCs of a Spiritual Journey.
25th ANNIVERSARY: Saturday, May 3, is the 25th anniversary of The Challenge of Peace: God’s Promise and Our
Response
, the U.S. Catholic Bishops peace pastoral. I can remember the sense of hope and possibility that
followed the adoption of the pastoral. And now? Not even a whisper in the wind of the Iraqi war or the nuclear
buildup. One voice is still loud and clear. Pax Christi USA, the Catholic peace movement, has organized “Ten
Days in May: The 25th Anniversary of The Challenge of Peace.” The 10 days, May 2-11, are a call to pray,
educate and demonstrate for peace. A list of prayers, study guides, action suggestions and organizing aids is
available at
paxchristiusa.org. Two of the recommended resources are: A Prayer for World Peace by Joan
Chittister and
The Nonviolent Moment: Spirituality for the 21st Century by Mary Lou Kownacki.
