Pope Francis’ Tweet of the Week
We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form. At the same time, we have to
recognize that violence is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much
is lost. Let us pray for reconciliation and peace. 6/3/2020
Glory be to the Father and to
the Son and to the Holy Spirit!
As it was in the beginning is
now and every shall be, world
without end. Amen.
