On Sunday afternoon, June 1, news broke of an attack on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, which has injured eight. Hearing of the horrific attack, Denver Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila issued the following statement, printed in full, encouraging the faithful to pray for those affected and for the Lord's comfort, healing and peace to reign.

I'm deeply saddened this evening to hear of the attack in Boulder, especially as it seems our Jewish brothers and sisters were targeted. This type of violence must come to an end as it only fuels hatred.

Please join me in praying for everyone affected by this horrific attack. We ask the Lord to bring comfort, healing and peace in the face of such hatred. May we listen to the voice of God who calls us to love one another!
