A Beacon of Light

What Now?

Kevin Carroll

What’s there to say? Yet another school shooting, this time at a Catholic elementary school in Minnesota — while the children, their teachers, and a number of elderly parishioners were attending the first school Mass of the new academic year. How does one make sense of such a cowardly, senseless act of violence? 

Perhaps now is a good time to revisit Dr. Diane Dreher’s article in Psychology Today (May 2024) which addresses this question. Her words are certainly more appropriate than anything I might be tempted to write today.

    Thanks for the reminder, Kevin. In times of darkness, instead of surrendering to despair, we need to make an effort to look for the light. Diane
