FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, DISARM THE HEART, DISARM THE NATIONS, 59TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI REMEMBRANCE SERVICE 7:00 pm, St. John the Evangelist Church, 625 111th Ave. N., Naples, FL 34108 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 that weaves together psalms from the Office of the Dead with contemporary readings and a litany against war, litany of remembrance, and a litany of peacemakers. Special attention is given to the new generation of nuclear weapons—from bunker busting hydrogen bombs 70 times the explosive power of Hiroshima to tactical battlefield weapons that have one-third the killing power of the Hiroshima bomb. 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!
