Why does it always seem to take a national tragedy like this to move us, however briefly, toward civility and
understanding?
President Obama spoke on civility at the funeral of Christina Taylor Green stating, “the loss of these wonderful people should make us strive to be better people. Their deaths should usher in civility and only a more civil, honest public discourse will make
us stronger as a nation.”
Christina Taylor GreenBorn: 9/11/2001 on a day of extreme violence in America.Died: 1/8/2011, 9 years later at the hands of violence from an American that killed 6 and injured 13 in Tucson, AZ.
“A little girl teaches us about the Kingdom of God,” the Rev. Gerald F. Kicanas, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson, said in his homily. “She would say to us today, “Enjoy life, live it to the fullest…Don’t waste your life gathering and accumulating, wanting and owning, buying and competing. Rather, seek ways to help others…seek ways to make others’ lives better.”
