“Dear brothers and sisters in the United States, I have witnessed with great concern the disturbing social unrest in your nation in these past days, following the tragic death of Mr. George Floyd.
My friends, we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. At the same time, we have to recognize that “the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost”.
Today I join the Church in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and in the entire United States, in praying for the repose of the soul of George Floyd and of all those others who have lost their lives as a result of the sin of racism. Let us pray for the consolation of their grieving families and friends and let us implore the national reconciliation and peace for which we yearn. May Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America, intercede for all those who work for peace and justice in your land and throughout the world.
May God bless all of you and your families.” +Bishop Danny Garcia

"Queridos hermanos y hermanas en los Estados Unidos, he sido testigo con gran preocupación del inquietante malestar social en su nación en estos últimos días, tras la trágica muerte del Sr. George Floyd.
Amigos míos, no podemos tolerar ni hacernos de la vista gorda ante el racismo y la exclusión en ninguna forma y, sin embargo, pretender defender lo sagrado de toda vida humana. Al mismo tiempo, tenemos que reconocer que "la violencia de las noches recientes es autodestructiva. Nada se gana con la violencia y tanto se pierde".
Hoy me uno a la Iglesia en San Pablo y Minneapolis, y en todo Estados Unidos, en orar por el reposo del alma de George Floyd y de todos aquellos otros que han perdido la vida como resultado del pecado del racismo. Oremos por el consuelo de sus familias y amigos afligidos e imploremos la reconciliación nacional y la paz que anhelamos. Que la Virgen de Guadalupe, Madre de América, interceda por todos los que trabajan por la paz y la justicia en nuestra tierra y en todo el mundo.
Que Dios los bendiga a todos ustedes y a sus familias." +Obispo Danny García
