Surrounded by violence and cries for justice, we hear your voice telling us what is required . “Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Mi 6:8). Fill us with your mercy so that we, in turn, may be merciful to others. Strip away pride, suspicion, and racism so that we may seek peace and justice in our communities. Strengthen our hearts so that they beat only to the rhythm of your holy will. Flood our path with your light as we walk humbly toward a future filled with encounter and unity.

    THE KNIGHTS OF PETER CLAVER and THE KNIGHTS OF PETER CLAVER, LADIES AUXILIARY National Social Justice Initiatives RESOURCE BOOK Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary Official Statement on the Murder of - GEORGE FLOYD – The Knights of Peter Claver condemns the senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis policemen. There is no explanation to justify the actions taken by the police that ultimately led to Mr. Floyd’s demise. We pray that God will grant his family peace and that the Minneapolis community finds healing during this difficult period. George Floyd. George Floyd. George Floyd. George Floyd was a man, a human, a being. Not a stat. Not just another one. Not to be forgotten. The Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary echoes the outrage and demands not just for justice, but for true respect of the Dignity of Black Lives. These statements should not have to be made. These demands should not have to be made. These lives should not be lost. • We call on all who are sworn “to protect and to serve” - to carry out the that very motto. • We call on all leaders elected to serve - to listen, to act, to legislate. • We call on all of God’s children created to love – to do just that – love. The anger, emotions, and outrage must be followed by effective solutions that do more than just penalize murderous actions, but eliminate future ones. The ink has run dry on writing statements, and it is now time to write laws, to write policies, to write sentences.
