Prayers for Dr. Thomas Meixner and his family

Wednesday’s tragic killing of Professor Thomas Meixner at the University of Arizona is a deep wound to the Tucson community. It is a special suffering for our Catholic family as he, along with his dear wife and sons, have always been active and beloved members of our Catholic Church. I ask for prayer for the gentle response of the soul of Dr. Meixner but also for his wife and sons, his extended family, friends, colleagues and students. May they come to know consolation and healing from the pain of this great loss.

I also will be praying for an end to the gun violence that plagues our nation. My great hope is that we will see renewed legislative efforts to curtail the superabundance of deadly firearms which leads to so much suffering and death. 
 
May God bless you abundantly,
