For Immediate Release
May 31, 2019
In unity with Bishop Barry Knestout of the Diocese of
Richmond, I ask all Catholics and people of good will to join me in prayer for
those who lost their lives in Virginia Beach earlier today as a result of yet
another mass shooting. Please also pray for the families of the deceased, the
injured, and the community. This attack is a reminder of the deep spiritual
wounds that exist in our society, where some feel they have the right to
violate the inherent dignity of the human person. Such acts of violence are as
evil as they are irreversible. May those souls of those who died, rest in
peace, and may God grant healing to the injured.
