Statement from the Order of Ecumenical Franciscans in response to the shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue

How long? How long do we have to experience these acts of hate. We must break the cycle of hate and fear with love. We are in Solidarity with all who say enough is enough. We offer our prayer for the victims and their victims and their families and the community of Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We strongly encourage healing and unity. We pray, act and rise up to break this chain of violence, hate and fear.

To quote the late Yiztak Rabin, “Enough of blood and tears. Enough!”
