About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The community of Uvalde, Texas is facing immense hardship right now as a gunman killed 19 children and 2 adults at a school on Tuesday. Associated Press Reporter Marc Stewart joins from Uvalde to share what he is hearing from those who were affected by this tragedy. Pope Francis says he is heartbroken by the shooting in Texas. At the end of his weekly talk to pilgrims at the Vatican, the Holy Father said he is praying for the children and adults who were killed and their loved ones. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about what Pope Francis said. President Joe Biden tweeted in support of “common sense gun laws." As names and faces of the young victims emerge, the president went after the gun lobby. Democrats say several bills need to pass to close loopholes in the sales of guns and background checks. Republicans say more gun restrictions is not the answer. But Democrats are sounding the alarm and say that now is the time to pass measures that are already in the pipeline. Finally this evening, Former Acting Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security and National Chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative, Ken Cuccinelli, joins to share his reaction to the horrific massacre.
