Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas, center, and other Catholic clergy from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso take part in a binational Mass Nov. 5, 2022, in memory of migrants who died during their journey to the U.S. near the border between Mexico and the United States. From an altar set on a platform just above the waters that straddle the U.S. and Mexico, Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas, celebrated a Mass Nov.
Local Spanish-language media in El Paso reported that she was the fourth child to die in the river in a span of 24 hours in late August at the popular passage for border crossers. “As we gather, we’re conscious that there are many who have not arrived safe and sound to this temporary worldly destination,” Bishop Seitz said. “It’s possible that their stories are never told until we meet them in the kingdom of God. Each one of these deaths is a lost loved one, but one never forgotten, hurt that will never end, a story that deserves to be told.”
Along with remembering those who have died, Bishop Seitz told the news station, those gathered also pray that “we as nations might come to a just and orderly process by which people who need to cross, can cross and asylum,” and those who need to work “can come and work and then this way avoid so much of the pain that takes place when people have to flee from their homes.”
