Get into the Christmas spirit this month with John Dear’s Peace Podcast  where Fr. John Dear reflects on a new aspect of nonviolence each month. In this episode, John reflects on the journey of Mary the Mother of Jesus as she accepts God's intentions for her. Dear emphasizes how revolutionary her acceptance and her words were at the time of Jesus. He also emphasizes how we can take on our own Advent journey of nonviolence by rejecting war and militarism and standing up for a world of peace and nonviolence.

At just over 30 minutes, this podcast is the perfect way to set the tone for your week or your month, offering new inspiration for active nonviolence in aspects of your every day life. From global environmental thinking to making interpersonal interactions more compassionate, the options for action and change are plentiful.

The Peace Podcast is available on our website here. There you can also find the previous episodes where John discusses Gandhi and the beatitudes. The podcast is also available on iTunes where you can subscribe and listen as soon as it’s released. If you enjoy this new Peace Podcast, share it with others so that it will spread far and wide.
