Earlier this year Sister Anne McCarthy presented a webinar, "Mary Lou Kownacki's Spirituality of Nonviolence." Sister Anne drew from her years-long deep friendship with Sister Mary Lou and used Sister Mary Lou's 1990 chapbook, The Sacred in the Simple: Monastic Mantras for Daily Living as the framework for the webinar. "Sister Mary Lou's spirituality was not an intellectual exercise...she started with the gospel and her monastic life and grew into a deep spirituality of nonviolence from that place," said Sister Anne in her introduction.
