Bishop Wright's Sermon | September 8, 2024

On September 8, 2024, Bishop Wright preached at St. Anthony's in Winder. The church is 7 miles from Apalachee High School.
"... We can do a better balance of honoring the Second Amendment and also developing something that keeps people safe. We can do both. We don't have to just give it to politicians and watch them wrestle around. We can do both. We can cherish the values of hunting and sportsmen and all that sort of stuff and at the same time keep war-grade weapons out of our children's hands. We can do a better job. It has to be said we can. That's not a blue or red point, that's common sense. People say we just have to accept this as reality. No, we don't... God's use of power is mercy, and God's mercy to us, each of us, creates in us mercifulness to share and exchange with one another. How do we make this better? We offer ourselves. Not only our words but new deeds. And how do we heal? We offer ourselves. We reach across and find connection. That's all we've ever had, and Jesus is just at the center of it all.. Agitating, inviting, encouraging so that we might become beloved community." -Bishop Rob Wright

Because of your sermon, I shall admit all Catholics, even those wearing black today, but education is imperative to unite. Words won't do it. Action speaks. I am watching. Just to remind you of that. Unite and serve the Lord collectively, visually and in auditory; in body and blood; I am still alone. When the Church actually visits me in body and blood, I will exalt the Church in body and blood.
