Dear Brothers and Sisters–

The recent decision by the Administration to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, has created quite a stir among many people. This is a difficult moment in our beloved, yet morally and socially confused and conflicted country.

Nevertheless, we offer support to all those who are legitimately affected by this decision, and urge members of Congress to act immediately and decisively in defense of human rights for those affected and for all of us who support human dignity and liberty for all Americans.

I trust that our constant prayers in support of all human life will have some bearing on our government officials to protect human dignity and justice. Once again, we pledge to work with our legislators to establish a system that promotes and supports justice for all.
