Catholic Fire

Cardinal Sean O’Malley, archbishop of Boston, also said : “In the midst of the darkness of this tragedy, we turn to the light of Jesus Christ, the light that was evident in the lives of people who immediately turned to help those in need today. We stand in solidarity with our ecumenical and interfaith colleagues in the commitment to witness the greater power of good in our society and to work together for healing.” Let's continue to pray for the victims and their families as well as the first responders.
