Thank the Pope for Praying for Those Who Die Trying to Reach America

   I think of the pope praying at the border for those who have lost their lives trying to reach America. I wonder if it was one of the few events honoring those who have died there, one of the few moments someone has paused to observe their loss.
  Where are the candle light vigils? Have there been any, at all? Does anyone on this side of the border mourn the passing of these people by going there for observances? More than 3,000 have given their lives trying to reach America in the last 20 years. For that, has so much as a single candle been lit down at that border?
   So, I thank the pope. I thank him for going there and mourning this loss of life.
