Prayers for Orlando Victims Statement from Bishop Patrick J . McGrath
The tragic events of Orlando are a horrific reminder of the power of hatred and violence . Unaware as we still are of the motives behind the murderous rampage , the targeting of members of the LGBT community is a wound on our society .
While our first reaction is to lash out with the same degree of hostility , we hear the words of the Lord , calling us to repay even hatred with love . We cannot become the evil that we detest .
The call within our nation to consider as suspect entire populations of citizens , immigrants or visitors is contrary to what is best in the American people . We cannot relive the prejudices of the past , nor conjure up new ones in this century . Violence will only beget more violence . The cycle must be broken .
We join with all who are committed to the common good , rooted in the values of justice , love , peace and tolerance , as we pray for those who lost their lives or their loved ones and who live now in fear because of acts of violence .
Summer Time Break
Happy Summer ! Yes , summer has arrived in the Valley of Saint Clare and the Diocese of San Jose and what ’ s not to be excited about that . Where did this year go ? It just seems like yesterday we were celebrating the Birth of Christ with Christmas and New Year ’ s and soon we ’ ll be enjoying the Red-White-and-Blue of the Fourth of July . Time does fly the older you get and I don ’ t like that ; I want it to go verrrrry sloooow .
With this final issue of June , the staff of The Valley Catholic goes on its summer hiatus . We will return with our next issue August 23 ( deadline August 5 ). Just because we ’ ll be on break , doesn ’ t mean we ’ ll be taking a break from communicating the news of the Diocese . To stay up-to-date with the happenings , please follow us on Facebook , Twitter and Instagram and of course the newspaper ’ s website – TVC . DSJ . org and the Diocesan website – www . DSJ . org .
We ’ ll also be working to make a better product for you to enjoy . You might not notice the changes , but they ’ ll be there . Our goal is to spread the news of the great things happening in the Diocese of San Jose and the great , faithful people making it happen .
As always we welcome your submissions to The Valley Catholic . You can send them to me directly ( easullivan @ dsj . org ) and I will do my best to get them in the newspaper . I also want to hear from you about what ’ s happening in your community . Feel free to email or call me ( 408-983-0228 ). Here ’ s to a fantastic Summer of 2016 . Safe Travels and God Bless !
