Disarm the Heart, Disarm the Nations
58th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Remembrance Service, Wednesday, August 6
Pope Paul VI called Hiroshima “a butchery of untold magnitude,” and
said, “Let us pray that the world may never again place trust in such
weapons.” Echoing his concern, Pope John Paul II urged the
nations to work toward nuclear disarmament and to take a unilateral
stand against all nuclear weaponry. “To remember Hiroshima, is to
abhor nuclear war . . . To remember Hiroshima is to commit oneself to
peace.”
Join Pax Christi Naples in a remembrance service at 7:00 p.m. this
Wednesday, August 6, at St. John the Evangelist Church (625 111th
Avenue North). We will gather in the chapel of the main church to
remember and mourn the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to
recommit ourselves to building a better world. Together let us
remember our nuclear history so that we will not repeat it!
