My heart is heavy as I think of the tragic violence that has struck our brothers and sisters in Minneapolis. The loss of innocent lives, especially children, is a grief beyond words. In moments like this, we can feel powerless and overwhelmed, but we are not without hope.

Christ Himself entered into our suffering and carried the weight of our brokenness on the Cross. He is close to the brokenhearted and He promises that darkness will never have the final word.

Please join me in prayer for the children, families, and community devastated by this tragedy. Let us entrust them to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the tender care of our Blessed Mother. May the God of all comfort wrap His arms around those who mourn and bring healing where there is deep pain.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. ✝️🙏

Mary's heart was completely open to God. Her "yes" allowed the Word to become flesh. May we learn from her to trust God fully and let Him work through us.
