Charlie died in his ongoing effort to peacefully persuade others. He lived to share the truth, as best he knew how.
He courageously spoke up for life, again and again. He was unapologetically pro-life. His dedication to truth and his bold defense of the preborn made a difference and touched countless lives.
Few people in the public square have been as bold in their support of life as Charlie.
He loved his family, and he loved his country.
He spoke often of his devotion for Jesus Christ and his desire for all people to know the saving power of Christ’s love.
Charlie’s family deserves our prayers and our love and our support during this shocking, devastating time.
I think about what Charlie would want in a situation like this, and I think he would want people to know the truth. He would want them to be told not to choose violence or hatred but instead to choose reaching out to persuade others and to help others see the truth too.
Every life is precious. Every life is a gift. When one is taken in such a senseless way, we are reminded of both the fragility and the immeasurable worth of each person.
This is a moment not for anger but for prayer, for his soul and for his beautiful family who have to carry this heavy loss.
May Charlie’s witness call us to reject hatred and violence and to embrace the power of truth spoken in love.
In prayer,
Lila Rose
Founder and President
