Mensaje Del Arsobispo Gomez/ Message From Archbishop Gomez

As civil unrest and protests continue tonight in Los Angeles and cities across the nation, Archbishop José H. Gomez calls for prayers and shares a message for peace and the respect for all life and human dignity in the following message via social, www.facebook.com/archbishopgomez:

Friends, pray for our city and our nation tonight. No one in America should suffer cruelty, violence, or unequal treatment because of their race or the color of their skin. Racism is a blasphemy against God who creates all men and women with equal dignity. But let our protests be peaceful. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost. Let’s keep working together to fulfill our nation’s sacred promise of life, liberty, and equality for all. #georgefloyd

Amigos, oren por nuestra ciudad y por nuestra nación. Nadie en Estados Unidos debe sufrir un trato cruel, violencia, o cualquier tipo de trato desigual debido a su raza o por el color de su piel. El racismo es una blasfemia contra Dios, que creó a todos los hombres y mujeres con igual dignidad. Pero que las personas que protestan lo hagan en una forma pacífica. Nada se gana con la violencia y mucho se pierde. Sigamos trabajando juntos para cumplir con la promesa sagrada de nuestra nación de vida, libertad e igualdad para todos. #georgefloyd

 
Let us continue to offer our prayers tonight and join our prayers in spiritual communion tomorrow on Pentecost Sunday to pray for all impacted by these events.  Archbishop Gomez will celebrate Pentecost Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels at 10 a.m. in English. To see the Mass online visit www.facebook.org/lacatholics or on watch the Mass on KCOP TV Channel 13.
 
May the Lord grant us peace.
