Per Fr Don Farnan’s blog, Jan 10, 2024: “Father John Dear recently published his latest book, The Gospel of Peace, in which he offers commentary on Jesus’ mission of nonviolence. In it, he analyzes the words and actions of Jesus from a lens that magnifies Christ’s role and purpose as the Prince of Peace. Father Dear, world-renowned speaker, author, and peace activist from the Diocese of Monterrey, California, will be in Kansas City on Saturday, March 2, at 10:00, to speak at Saint Therese Little Flower Church, 5814 Euclid, about his mission to spread Our Lord’s message of peace—a message that is often misunderstood by many Christians.” Please register here: https://www.contemporaryspirituality.net/event.php
