To guard the shining of this light

It will seem unbelievable today but, in a place in Colombia where the most heinous violence has been a daily rule for decades, there are those who respond by being community, by love, by forgiveness without forgetting by making remembrance and, to this struggle, surrendering their lives.Of course the violence made explicit here is only the first step in the concatenation of events that leads straight to our homes.It will also seem perhaps unbelievable that there are those who walk daily alongside this community and who, thanks to the hierarchy of lives imposed on us, guard the shining of this light.I can only give thanks for sharing a part of the journey of these burning lives.This collection is an opportunity so that the accompaniment of Operation Dove - the nonviolent peace corps of the Pope John XXIII Community - continues to be possible."La paz no tiene mañana. La paz es hoy en la medida en que hacemos comunidad" (Peace does not exist tomorrow. Peace is today to the extent that we build community). Eduar LancheroThank you from now for what you will donate.

Fundraising by Erica Tenca

It will seem unbelievable today but, in a place in Colombia where the most heinous violence has been a daily rule for decades, there are those who respond by being community, by love, by forgiveness without forgetting by making remembrance and, to this struggle, surrendering their lives.
Of course the violence made explicit here is only the first step in the concatenation of events that leads straight to our homes.

It will also seem perhaps unbelievable that there are those who walk daily alongside this community and who, thanks to the hierarchy of lives imposed on us, guard the shining of this light.
I can only give thanks for sharing a part of the journey of these burning lives.

This collection is an opportunity so that the accompaniment of Operation Dove - the nonviolent peace corps of the Pope John XXIII Community - continues to be possible.
