John Dear on Japan's Tsunami, the Stations of the Cross and Resurrection

Jesuit peace activist John Dear discusses Japan's tsunami, the stations of the cross and resurrection in his weekly National Catholic Reporter column:
  
"Lent is a time to hear Jesus’ call to repent from our participation in systemic injustice and to welcome God’s reign of justice and peace with all our hearts. His call to repentance certainly means turning away from personal sin back toward his grace, but it also includes turning away from social, national, global institutionalized sin. Jesus wants us to reject the systemic injustice that kills millions around the planet. He wants us to change our lives, to start down a whole new path of love, service, nonviolence, and peace." - John Dear
