It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Journalists @TheMattTWilson, @MonitorDelcia, @ocnarfjimenez and @MonitorJoel have poetically documented how the #RGV lives, grieves and prays amid the coronavirus pandemic. Combined with the efforts of our entire staff, here are the results of their tireless work @monitornews.

This Face disfigured by wounds communicates great peace. His gaze is directed not to our eyes but to our heart, as if to say: Have faith, do not lose hope. The power of the love of God, the power of the Risen One overcomes all things. #HolyShroud

Saturday--when it was still bright & sunny, we hosted our 1st Veterans Day Parade and of course our community came out in a big way. If you missed it, here's a look back at our salute to service. Thanks @txreen for these great images! #MissionVetFest

A candle ceremony was held at the @mcallenlibrary to honor & remember the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust. A prayer was read by a member of the McAllen community, while a member of Temple Emanuel congregation lit the candle. #WeMustNeverForget – at McAllen, TX
