Statement from Bishop Oscar Cantú and the Diocese of San Jose regarding the deadly violence in El Paso and Dayton

From the community still wounded from a mass shooting just a week ago in Gilroy, we send our pray-ers and heartfelt concerns to the people of El Paso and Dayton, and all those affected by the recent shootings that have left 29 people dead and many wounded. We grieve with the families of the de-ceased and pray for the recovery of the wounded and injured. We think of those who harbor hatred and fear in their minds and hearts: we remind them that it is un-acceptable to take out their frustrations on the innocent. All human persons are created in God’s im-age and likeness and, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, possess inalienable rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Moreover, we are reminded that each of us in the human family bears a responsibility for each other: for brother, sister, neighbor. Thus, it is important that we realize the impact that language and atti-tudes of racism, discrimination, and hatred can have on others. We also encourage each other to re-port to proper authorities any warning signs we notice in others that reveal hatred and a willingness to hurt others or themselves. Finally, we stand in solidarity with Cardinal Daniel DiNardo and Bishop Frank Dewane in their state-ment on behalf of the US bishops: “The plague that gun violence has become continues unchecked and spreads across our country. Things must change. Once again, we call for effective legislation that addresses why these unimaginable and repeated occurrences of murderous gun violence continue to take place in our communities.” May the God of peace bring comfort to the families of the deceased and healing to the wounded and injured. May we all heed the words of Jesus, “love one another.”

Declaración del Obispo Oscar Cantú sobre la violencia mortal en El Paso y Dayton

De nuestra comunidad aún herida por un tiroteo masivo hace solo una semana en Gilroy, enviamos nuestras oraciones y muy sentido pésame a la gente de El Paso y Dayton y a todos los afectados por los recientes tiroteos que han dejado 29 muertos y demasiados heridos. Nos unimos en lamento con las familias de los fallecidos y rezamos por la recuperación de los heridos. Pensamos en aquellos que albergan odio y miedo en sus mentes y corazones: les recordamos que es inaceptable sacar sus frustraciones con gente inocente. Todas las personas humanas son creadas en imagen y semejanza de Dios y como afirma la Declaración de Independencia, poseen derechos absol-utos a “la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad”. Además, se nos recuerda que cada uno de nosotros en la familia humana tiene una responsabilidad mutua por su hermano, hermana y vecino. Por lo tanto, es importante que nos demos cuenta del im-pacto que el lenguaje y las actitudes del racismo, la discriminación y el odio pueden tener en los demás. También les pedimos se animen a informar a las autoridades apropiadas sobre cualquier señal que observen en otros que revelen odio y disposición para lastimar a otros o a ellos mismos. Finalmente, nos unimos en solidaridad con el Cardenal Daniel DiNardo y el Obispo Frank Dewane en su declaración de parte de los obispos de los Estados Unidos: “La plaga de violencia armada continúa sin control y se extiende por todo nuestro país. Las cosas deben cambiar. Una vez más, pedimos una legislación efectiva que aborde por qué estos acontecimientos horrorosos de violencia mortal por el uso de armas se siguen repitiendo y continúan teniendo lugar en nuestras comunidades “. Que el Dios de la paz traiga consuelo a las familias de los fallecidos y sanación a los heridos. Que to-dos prestemos atención a las palabras de Jesús, “ámense los unos a los otros”.
