Im a Catholic priest and a black Catholic. I request prayers for peace and pray for respect for all life. I will not make any other statements about Ferguson nor offer my opinion because I dont believe in stirring passions. My call is for prayer and peace. Lord, have mercy! Christ, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O master grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned ; and it is in dying that we are born into eternal life. Amen.
