Pax Christi USA mourns and prays for the families and loved ones of those who are targeted with violence. We deplore any use of violence, any attempts to intimidate, silence or harm others.
In light of the rise in both attempted and fatal targeted physical violence on political figures (most recently Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro), the horrific shootings at schools, churches, and other gathering spaces, and the targeted violence, denial of due process and deportation faced by immigrants*, we recall the Gospel reading for today, September 11, 2025, where Jesus gives us the mandate to “love our enemies.”
