"We offer prayers of peace and comfort to the family of President Moïse and his wife Martine, as well as to the Haitian people -both on the island and throughout the diaspora in the wake of this horrific attack on not just a person, but a nation. Violence is not a solution to the discord and pain that Haiti is experiencing, it will only perpetuate them.
"As the world watches - a world which was eager to appear before cameras in the wake of natural disaster but long ago abandoned the work of recovery - we pray for the people still suffering, and we all must follow our prayers and posts with assistance."
