The invasion of Ukraine must be squarely set upon the shoulders of Vladimir Putin. We are witnessing an immense tragedy of human suffering: the targeting of civilians, assassination and terror, and the deaths of innocents, especially children. https://t.co/0SqpCUt034 #Encyclical

I am grateful that the Divine Liturgy in the Eastern Orthodox Church has remained consistent over the centuries. It is a wonderfully comforting, immersive experience.

27 home openers in a row @NHLBlackhawks and this year, NO CALENDARS?? Because of Covid?? Epic fail, Hawks. So disappointed.

Tonight we recognized Officer Josh Blas of @Chicago_Police’s Community Safety Team, who was partners with Officer Ella French since 2019 & a teammate of Officer Carlos Yanez Jr. Our hearts remain with the family of fallen Officer French & with Officer Yanez as he recovers.

Today, we honor the life of #ChicagoPolice Officer Ella G. French. Star #15013. End of Watch: 7 Aug 21. #LODD “The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion”- Proverbs #NeverForget

This morning, #ChicagoPolice Officer Ella G. French arrived at her final resting place at Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery. She was accompanied by family, friends and her CPD brothers and sister. #RIP #NeverForget

A symbol of justice was laid to rest in Americas 3rd largest city. Chicago officer Ella Frenchs ultimate sacrifice in confronting armed subjects in the dark of night should remind us all how heroic & incredibly dedicated these young women & men are to making our communities safer

Please keep all of Chicago PD in your thoughts/prayers as they have lost one of their own to the violence that continues to permeate that city. She had been an officer for 3 yrs,had her whole life ahead of her. A second officer remains in the hospital, lift them up in prayer.

Tonight in the 6300 block of South Bell, 10th District & Community Safety Team officers organized a prayer service and balloon release in loving memory of fallen Officer Ella French. #NeverForget

This crowd for Officer Ella French's memorial at 63rd and Bell is more diverse than any "social justice" protest, seminar or event.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Off. Ella French and the grievous injuries to her partner. I pray for her, her partner and their families, friends and police family. Off. French was an exceptional young officer whose death is inexplicable. 1/3

Deputy Chief Eve Gushes of @CPDReform spoke to the @USConsulateThes this afternoon for #WomensHistoryMonth. DC Gushes is the first Greek-American woman to serve as Deputy Chief @Chicago_Police. This is a well-deserved honor for a tremendous leader.

15 Seasons. 3 Stanley Cups. Countless memories. This one's for you, Seabsy Boy! #FruitAndCrap

First thing I thought of when I woke up today was @Chicago_Police Cmdr Paul Bauer. 36 months ago our friend was brutally taken by a coward. He was the type of father & role model that I strive to be & Chicago will never forget him or the 3 amazing officers lost that dreadful year

This. So how was your day at the office?

Another child. Shot dead. A day in the life of the CPD.

Oh wait. Yes we do. I’m tired, weary, and emotionally drained. May God protect us all.
