"Grace is the power that may overcome all violence because it is at home in the hearts of all human beings.” Sabine Lichtenfels
The Global Grace Day is a special initiative by a growing movement of individuals and groups all over the world. The movement cannot and should not be identified with a specific group or organization; it is an expanding movement of those who have started to develop the quality of Grace in their hearts. You will recognize them not by their signs and signals, but by the way they behave, act and talk.
A text of meditation, written and distributed by Sabine Lichtenfels, peace activist and initiator of the Grace movement is at the center of the different activities and meditations which take part worldwide every year on the same day. This text expresses that we, as humankind, can no longer accept the inner and outer walls which we built between people, between lovers, and between human beings and nature.
Various groups around the world interpret the day in their own ways once they have begun to understand the quality of GRACE in their hearts.
Why 9th of November?
Throughout history, the 9th of November has seen both the force of cruelty and the power of liberation. On the 9th of November, 1938, known as the “Crystal Night,” hundreds of synagogues were burned down in Germany and more than 30,000 Jewish people were deported to concentration camps. On the 9th of November, 1989, the Berlin wall, acting as a barrier between two ideologies, was finally taken down.
Many peace movements around the world now use the 9th of November as a day of opportunity to create a common peace power that no longer allows cruelty and separation between humans and on our planet.
