VUU offers condolences to the family of Tyre Nichols during this latest time of grief and painful injustice in our country. As we all work through this, let us continue to keep the Nichols family in our prayers as we go through our day.

There is a certain stillness at the center of the Christmas story: a silent night when all the world goes quiet.

And all the clamor, everything that divides us, fades away in the stillness of a winter’s evening.

I wish you that peace this Christmas Eve.

I am praying for the United States of America, shaken by the recent attack on Congress. I pray for those who lost their life. Violence is always self-destructive. I urge everyone to promote a culture of encounter and of care to construct the common good.

Proud to work so closely with our next-door neighbor...Virginia loves Mayor Muriel Bowser!
