A Call to Forgiveness and Compassion in Troubling Times In this powerful address, Bishop Michael Hunn explores the extreme violence and hatred currently gripping the United States and the Diocese of the Rio Grande. The murder of Charlie Kirk and his widow Erica Kirk's public act of forgiveness serve as a profound example of living out Christian faith.

Through personal anecdotes, including interactions with ICE agents and asylum seekers, we learn about the importance of recognizing humanity in others.
