Peace Pilgrim
1908-1981
_________________________________________________
A Pilgrimage is a gentle journey
of prayer and example.
My walking is first of all a prayer for peace.
If you give your life as a prayer
you intensify the prayer beyond all measure.
_________________________________________________ |
| Between
1953 and 1981 Peace Pilgrim walked more then 25,000 miles across the country spreading her
message—This is the way of peace: "Overcome evil with good, falsehood with
truth, and hatred with love." Carrying in her tunic pockets her only possessions, she
vowed, "I shall remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace,
walking until given shelter and fasting until given food." She talked with
people on dusty roads and city streets, to church, college, civic groups, on TV and radio,
discussing peace within and without. Her
pilgrimage covered the entire peace picture: peace among nations, groups, individuals, and
the very important inner peace—because that is where peace begins.
She believed
that world peace—would come when enough people attain inner peace. Her life and
work showed that one person with inner peace can make a significant contribution to world
peace.
