Cardinal Pietro Parolin
Secretary of State
The Bishop of Las Vegas, Joseph Pepe, has issued a statement in the wake of last night’s deadly shooting, which left more than fifty people dead.
Our hearts go out to everyone. We are praying for those who have been injured, those who have lost their lives, for the medical personnel and first responders who, with bravery and self-sacrifice have helped so many.
We are also very heartened by the stories of all who helped each other in this time of crisis. As the Gospel for today's Mass reminds us, we are called to be modern day Good Samaritans. We continue to pray for all in Las Vegas and around the world whose lives are shattered by the events of daily violence.
On this feast day of the Guardian Angels, we invite all to join us for an inter-faith prayer service at the Cathedral of the Guardian Angels this afternoon at 5:00pm, and we invite our sisters and brothers around the world to join us in prayer for healing and for an end to violence.
