Another week where events rush upon us like a tsunami. I am deeply saddened by the death of George Floyd. It was such a senseless action that led to his death. I don't know all that went on before his death but to have the original event end in a death is beyond comprehension. The violence that has erupted since is equally senseless. Why would anyone destroy the businesses and housing of people who not only have nothing to do with the death of Mr. Floyd, but are in your own neighborhood and provide services which are not available anywhere else in the area. I would ask you to join me in praying for the people who are incensed by the death of Mr. Floyd and for those who are causing the violence. Christians are called to witness about the Good News of Jesus. Righteous anger is justifiable but must be done at the service of others. Maybe we need to witness more publicly that we believe in the equality of all people and the rights of all folks as well. Peace on our land. Fr. Mike
