We pray for the deceased, those injured and for former President Donald Trump’s recovery. I remain steadfast with the Bishops of the United States in condemning all forms of violence, which has no place in politics and serves only to undermine our cherished democracy. May Christ, the Prince of Peace, hold us together as one nation united against hatred and violence in exercising our faithful citizenship for the common good.
