4 Bernard SurvilLet me commend the people who have initiated this and are helping to administer it. While we'll do what we can to make it a community event, even if only a handful join, the power of prayer and fasting will make its imprint on our souls.
5 William H. PrivettI dearly hope that people of good will and peace will speak out to Break the Silence.
6 Jack GilroyIn the name of the commitment to nonviolence of Christ, Gandhi, Dorothy Day, Jagerstatter, ML King, the Berrigans--we can break the silence of the shepherds and the sheep by fasting, praying and and doing actions to awaken those unmoved by torture and war.

8 Rev. George TaylorI pledge support, fasting and political action toward the end of withdrawal of all American and foreign troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and the closure of all American military facilities in those lands. I urge the Bishops in all Dioceses to do the same.

15 Meinrad SchneckenleithnerI still hope there will be an end of the war on Iraq. It is completly inhuman and illegal. In the beginning of march friends of Pax Christi Austria will have a vigil in the city of Linz to comemorate the 5 aniversary of the beginning of the US-led attack.

42 Robert RoethigI wish that I had learned about Franz Jaggerstatter's heroic Christian life, especially as a person of Austrian ancestry, in Catholic high school,or as a theology major in college. Franz's sanctified example would have been useful for me to appeal to in my application for conscientious objection and refusal to be drafted in early 1972. Instead, I first heard of Franz in a speech given by Daniel Ellsberg, who risked his life and freedom when he revealed the secret government documents that came to be known as the Pentagon Papers. This world knows so much turmoil and agonizing suffering caused by war and preparation of war. We owe it to our young people to hold up Blessed Franz Jagerstatter as example to imitate, so that they will be recruited to live a life in service to the poor and oppressed. Our children deserve to know how and why they ought to reject recruitment into military service for reasons of conscience. Also, our world so dearly needs our shepherds, pastors and teachers to join us in breaking our silent complicity and to break away from out normal lives in the face of this most tragic bombing, invasion and occupation of Iraq by the United States.
