Pace e Bene – 28 August 2025

“Non-conformity for reasons of conscience is the first duty of Christ’s followers. . . . When human beings liberate themselves from the ‘what will others say about me’ syndrome, to champion the rights of those without voices, they will be ready to practice the other Christian virtues of purity, goodness, patience, and forgiveness (and will experience) the Gospel’s liberating power.”—André Trocmé, The Memoirs of André Trocmé: The Pastor Who Rescued Jews, translated from French by Patrick Henry and Mary Anne O’Neil.
