Last Friday, our CV team ended the week as I'm sure many of you did—sad, angry, and bewildered over the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Thanks be to God, this week began with signs of hope, as team members shared stories from the weekend:
"My husband's friend from high school reached out asking if he could join us for Mass. He's a Presbyterian and I don't think regularly attended the service before. I was so thankful he came with us!"
"I got my haircut on Saturday and my barber said he's been an atheist a lot of his life but this incident has inspired him and his wife to get baptized and start going to church!"
"My son, an Evangelical who headed up a Turning Point chapter, asked if he and some friends could join me for Mass this weekend. After Mass, he told me he wants to enter OCIA."
None of this erases the injustice done to Charlie and the pain inflicted on his family. It does, however, illustrate something important when looked at in context of what we saw happening all over the world: heartbreak and justifiable anger over Charlie's death but also the celebration of his life.
