Weekly Reflection

An Attack on our Way of Life

07-21-2024 | Fr. John Parks

This past Saturday there was an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Mercifully, the gunman was not successful in taking his life. I offer a few thoughts on what we can take away from this sad day in American history.

What occurred that day was an attack on our democratic way of life. There was an old Roman orator named Quintillian who said that society always needs men (and women) who can defend justice before a crowd.
