The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

[St. Maximilian @Totvs_tuus51320]

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

@Joeinblack Keeping you and your community in my prayers. May the Lord bless and protect you all, and bring healing that only he can to all affected by this horrific tragedy.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart.  

I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program, “Bishop Barron Presents,” and he eagerly accepted my invitation. He was scheduled to come to Rochester, Minnesota in about ten days. The last contact we had was two nights ago. After I appeared on one of the evening news shows to talk about the Religious Liberty Commission, he texted me and told me how much he appreciated what I said and then added, “I’m excited to join you on your show soon. God bless you.”  

That last sentence shows what was most important to Charlie. He was indeed a great debater and also one of the best advocates in our country for civil discourse, but he was, first and last, a passionate Christian. In fact, when we had that breakfast in Phoenix, we didn’t talk much about politics. We talked about theology, in which he had a deep interest, and about Christ. I know I’m joining millions of people around the world in praying that he rests now in the peace of the Lord.

"You are commanded to go do something productive with your life."

"To go give and to produce and to risk and to then go sow into other people. That is a Biblical idea that has made the world a profoundly better place."

Charlie Kirk was more committed to peaceful, open dialogue with those who disagreed with him than anyone I know. God blessed him with immense gifts, and he used them boldly and without fear. He knew the risks he was taking, but he did it anyway because he loved his kids & felt a responsibility to the nation they would inhabit. I traveled the entire country with him last year, we spent 1x1 time together in Ohio two weeks ago, spoke to him again 2 days ago. He’s long warned of the rise of political violence & the growing culture of assassination, when few were willing to listen, with a clarity of vision unlike anyone I’ve known. Completely and utterly devastated.

[Sr. Miriam James @onegroovynun]

Eternal rest grant unto Charlie Kirk, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.

[Ascension @AscensionPress]

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness & snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, & do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us invoke the Spirit of love and peace, that He may open borders, break down walls, dispel hatred, and help us live as children of our one Father who is in heaven. #Pentecost https://t.co/GTTlXIASP8
