The members of Pax Christi in Summit are heartbroken over the assault and subsequent death of Abelino Mazariego. It is difficult to comprehend how members of the same community could dismiss the humanity of a fellow citizen to the point of being responsible for his death.
Though this tragedy is beyond our comprehension, we acknowledge the suffering of the victim’s family and that of the perpetrators’ families. All have suffered a terrible loss. Our entire community mourns for them and with them.
We grieve for their loss and for the loss of a sense security in the idea that we were somehow set apart from the problems of society that lead to violence. The bloodshed of last Saturday has exposed a painful rift in our city and the tensions between race and class have become evident.
The members of Pax Christi are committed to eliminating the structures of inequality and injustice in our community. We ask our neighbors to join us as we re-dedicate ourselves to ending the injustices that contributed to this terrible tragedy. May peace be with us all now and forever as we work to bring about the vision of Psalm 133: "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters dwell in unity!"
Pax Christi Summit is a local chapter in the NJ region of Pax Christi US which represents the Catholic peace movement in the United States. Through the efforts of all its members and in cooperation with other groups, Pax Christi USA works toward a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world. For more information contact Kathy O’Leary, Coordinator of the NJ Region, 908-273-0751 kolearypcnj@gmail.com
