  1. Rose Napolitano says:

    Thank you for this honest discussion. I think it’s so important that we all be more aware and recognize our own indifference or ignorance so we can make real change. Listening to George Floyd’s words was heart wrenching. We ARE ALL the body of Christ!!!

  2. Javier Plumey says:

    Thanks for commenting Rose. Self-awareness is key! May we pray that our eyes are opened to our sin.

  3. Denise Alexander says:

    Amen to you all. Beautiful message and let all of us treat and love each other in the image and likeness of the Lord. Blessed Mother intercede to heal our anger, pain and battles.

    1. Javier Plumey says:

      Thanks! At least we know we can always ask for prayer from our Mother.
