For the Absolute Love of It

The Art of Pursuing Nonviolence

Nonviolence does not belong to a single group or kind of work; it belongs to all of humanity and has a place in everything we do. When asked about the vocation of her Sisters, Mother Theresa said that it went beyond wearing the white sari habit. "Our vocation," she replied, "is love."

Wherever we are and whatever we do, our real vocation is nonviolence. Thankfully, it is a skill we can learn to use more efficiently from day to day. Metta Center exists to support anyone, all of us, in discovering the science and wisdom of what Mahatma Gandhi called "the law of our being."

How are you living out the vocation of nonviolence? Do tell us your story!

In heart unity,
Stephanie Van Hook
Executive Director

News + Songs = Oh, My!
