“Hope is not naïve belief in magical outcomes. Hope is rooted in the promise of a God who knows suffering and brings healing amid unimaginable pain.” — Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR
In the wake of the tragedy at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, Franciscan University’s president calls us to prayer, courage, and true hope.
Read his powerful response in the Washington Examiner. Link below ⬇️
Prayer is not an escape from reality. It is the very place we meet Christ, who Himself was unjustly slain.
We will continue to pray, not because we are passive, but because we know only God can bring true justice, healing, and peace. Evil wants us to stop praying and to despair. We will not. We cling to Christ, who has conquered death.
“The prayer of a righteous person has great power in its effects.” -James 5:16
