Together, All Things Are Possible

Self Dedication Is A Spiritual Experience.

We Can Choose To Use Our Lives For Others To Bring About A Better And More Just World For Our Children. People Who Make That Choice Will Know Hardship And Sacrifice. But If You Give Yourself Totally To The Non-violence Struggle For Peace And Justice You Also Find That People Give You Their Hearts And You Will Never Go Hungry And Never Be Alone. And In Giving Of Yourself You Will Discover A Whole New Life Full Of Meaning And Love.

Jesus' Life And Words Are A Challenge At The Same Time That They Are Good News. They Are A Challenge To Those Of Us Who Are Poor And Oppressed. By His Life He Is Calling Us To Give Ourselves To Others, To Sacrifice For Those Who Suffer, To Share Our Lives With Our Brothers And Sisters Who Are Also Oppressed. He Is Calling Us To "hunger And Thirst After Justice" In The Same Way That We Hunger And Thirst After Food And Water: That Is, By Putting Our Yearning Into Practice.

The Poor, You Know, Have A Way Of Solving Problems...they Have A Tremendous Capacity For Suffering. And So When You Build A Vehicle To Get Something Done, As We've Done Here In The Strike And The Boycott, Then They Continue To Suffer - And Maybe A Little Bit More - But The Suffering Becomes Less Important Because They See A Chance Of Progress; Sometimes Progress Itself. They've Been Suffering All Their Live.s It's A Question Of Suffering With Some Kind Of Hope Now. That's Better Than Suffering With No Hope At All.

Kindness And Compassion Towards All Living Things Is A Mark Of A Civilized Society. Conversely, Cruelty, Whether It Is Directed Against Human Beings Or Against Animals, Is Not The Exclusive Province Of Any One Culture Or Community Of People.
