lengthening shadows

 

Last week an assassin attempted to kill US Presidential candidate Donald Trump at an election rally.

Shooting from a rooftop and using a high powered  rifle the assassin hit Mr Trump in the ear and killed audience member Corey Comperatore a retired firefighter.

He also wounded two other audience members.

Before the rally a Catholic priest styled Father Jason Charron blessed the crowd in a public prayer.

Father Charron seems to me a decent and genuinely holy man, touched by the light.

In Greek mythology a character called Charon is the ferryman who brings deceased souls across the river Styx to the land of the dead.
