The WCCM Coordinator for Catalonia, Marco Schorlemmer sent a message commenting on the recent attack in Barcelona:Â Â
As with London, Madrid, and other cities in Europe, Barcelona with its people and its visitors has now also been a target of violent extremism.
We all know that meditation and Silence are necessary antidotes for stopping this growing spiral of violence, bringing back peace and love to our communities; and now more than ever we need to continue our task of communicating and nourishing this teaching.
We will keep all victims, their relatives and friends in our heart, and we shall also pray for these young people who have fallen victims of radicalism and in which hatred has grown in their hearts to the point that they have forgotten to value the preciousness of life.
Marco
