Dona Nobis Pacem (Give Us Peace)
Today, November 6, 2008, blogs from all over the world are joined in contemplating and promoting world peace.
It is a new day in the United States, or at least, it will be, in 74 days. But we are still at war on 2 different fronts (4, if you count our border raids into Syria and Pakistan).
And, though we have taken a gigantic step in just one night, our own internal demons of bigotry, ignorance and everyday callousness still bedevil us, both as a nation and within our own souls.
Dona Nobis Pacem are the title and full lyrics of 16th Century chant, sung as a round (you may have learned it in school or at camp).
The Dona Nobis Pacem blog movement was founded by blogger Mimi Lenox, and we celebrate its 2nd anniversary today.
Give Us Peace!

I’m so glad Mimi started this peace movement in the blogosphere and even happier to be a part. I’d be much obliged if you would visit Sojourner’s Place on this BlogBlast for Peace Day! Let us all pray for peace because War is NOT a card game!
Peace to you all!
It felt so good to squeak in just under the wire. Next year, it’ll feel even better if I get in with time to spare!
Mimi started an incredible thing. I hope it grows and grows, and that peace grows even faster.
Every desired change starts with intention. And that’s what we’ve achieved, thanks to Mimi’s BlogBlast.
Many thanks to you all, and especially to Mimi, who got us all started!
