A mass shooting is one which kills or injures four or more people./ Already this year there have been more than 200 mass shootings in the United States./ We ask for the healing of what ails us culturally,/ spiritually,/ psychologically,/ politically./ May God forgive the national sins which lead to so much violence,/ death and sorrow./ We pray to the Lord.
Despite his painful affliction,/ Pope Francis still intends to visit Canada where he make apology for the actions of the Church which led to the abuse of native American children./ As with the sex abuse scandals around the world,/ we ask for the forgiveness of the Church's sins,/ praying for purification and renewal. We pray to the Lord.
In April alone more that one hundred Ukrainian children were killed./ The sadness is profound./ Christianity is again covered with shame/ as it is a Christian country invading another Christian country/ both countries venerating icons of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child./ We ask for leadership which would put an end to this ruinous insanity./ We pray to the Lord.
