I don\u2019t know anything more about it\u00a0at this time. The past 24 hours we\u2019ve seen horrendous violence and injustice, and now we\u2019re seeing more violence that seems to be a reaction to the first. Fear and rage are natural emotions to feel right now; I\u2019m feeling both.<\/p>\n

Please pray with Michael and me, for Dallas, for our country and for an end to violence everywhere.<\/p>\n

Saint Michael, patron of police officers, pray for us!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
