Archbishop
Gustavo Garcia-Siller of San Antonio
said Nov. 5 after the massacre in
(Ivanka Krypyakcvych-Ukraine) |
in Sutherland
Springs , Texas
.
“Disbelief
and shock are the overwhelming feelings; there are no adequate words. There can
be no explanation or motive for such a scene of horror at a small country
church for families gathered to praise Jesus Christ.”
“These
Baptist brethren are our family, friends and neighbors who live among us in the
archdiocese … We are committed to work in unity with all our brothers and
sisters to build peace in our communities; to connect in a more direct and
substantial way. The Catholic Church in Texas
and across the United States
is with you.”
“Let’s help
these brothers and sisters with prayers; they need us. Also, pray fervently for
peace amidst all of the violence which seems to be overwhelming our society. We
must be lights in the darkness. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let
perpetual light shine upon them. May God have mercy!”
