About this sermon
3 are dead, 5 are injured and a community is in grief after a shooting at Michigan State University. Police say the shooter, a 43 year old man and convicted felon with no ties to the school, also took his own life. He was found dead Monday night after the shooting spree and subsequent manhunt. A number of vigils have been held both on campus and in the community to honor and remember the victims. Lansing Bishop Earl Boyea tweeted: "A dreadfully dark day in East Lansing. May the love of Almighty God restore health to the injured, sustain those caring for them, bestow solace on those who mourn and eternal rest to those who were killed. The Catholic community is praying that they rest in peace." Parochial Vicar for Saint John Church and Student Center, Fr. Michael Cassar, joins to share what it's like out there on campus and in the parish community and how people are holding up. Fr. Cassar tells us whether he has seen an influx of people seeking council or help from the Church or the Newman Center in the wake of what has happened. He discusses whether there is anything in particular they are offering these students now. Sometimes this sort of tragedy brings people together and brings out the best in them. Fr. Cassar explains whether he has seen evidence of this in the MSU community. The priest fills us in on his message to the students.
