Jump To Comment: 1Ash Wednesday Action Against the War - Dublin
by Ciaron O'Reilly - Dublin Catholic Worker Wed, Mar 5 2003, 8:33pm
phone: 087 918 4552 [email protected]
Today outside the Dublin G.P.O. the Catholic Worker and multi faith/no faith friends held an anti-war Ash Wednesday Ceremony. A shrine was constructed of photos of Iraqi children, flowers, incense.
Ciaron O'Reilly, recently released from Limerick Prison following the disabling of a U.S. Navy war plane, burnt his high court injunction imposed by Air Rianta. U.S dollars were also burnt to provide the ceremonial ash.
Folks (Irish, North American, English, Australian)
gathered in the circle and shared their personal reasons for opposing the war. At the conclusion of the ceremony medical supplies were mailed to the Red Crescent in Baghdad breaking the sanctions.
O'Reilly stated,
"This ceremeony is one of a series taking place around the world. Catholic Workers in Washington D.C. will be witnessing at the White House. In London folks will mark the Ministry of Defence headquarters with ash. In Australia they will be blockading military recruitment centres. Catholic Workers inprisoned in Ireland and the United States will have a day of prayer and vigil.
Catholic Workers are also part of the continuing presence for peace in Baghdad. Michael Bermingham from Dublin is also there. They have issued a statement calling for pre-emptive nonviolent resistance actions.
Ash Wednesday is an appropriate time for nonviolent resistance to the war. Ash reminds us of the cost of war and also of our own mortality. Issues the United States as an empire is in complete denial about. Like all the empires that have preceeded them - Roman, Egyptiian, British, they seek to gain dominion over all the world's people and resources. Empires believe they will continue forever at any cost. We refuse to be silenced by the threats of injunctions or the bribes of cash and accomadation. We hope all peoples of all faiths will join together in opposing the genocidal sanctions on Iraq and the escalation of this war."
