WelcometotheWhiteHouseandwelcometoourannualEasterprayerbreakfast.Asalways,weareblessedtobejoinedbysomanygoodfriendsfromaroundthecountry.We'vegotdistinguishedguests.We'vegotfaithleaders,membersofmyadministrationwhoarehere.AndIwillonceagainresistthetemptationtopreachtopreachers.(Laughter.)Itneverworksoutwell.IamremindedoftheadmonitionfromtheBookofRomans--“Donotclaimtobewiserthanyouare.”(Laughter.)Sothismorning,IwanttooffersomeverybriefreflectionsaswestartthisEasterseason.
ButasIwaspreparingmyremarks,somethingintervenedyesterday.AndsoIwanttojustdevoteafewwordsaboutyesterday'stragedyinKansas.ThismorningourprayersarewiththepeopleofOverlandPark.Andwe'restilllearningthedetails,butthismuchweknow.AgunmanopenedfireattwoJewishfacilities--acommunitycenterandaretirementhome.Innocentpeoplewerekilled.Theirfamiliesweredevastated.AndthisviolencehasstrucktheheartoftheJewishcommunityinKansasCity.
Twoofthevictims--agrandfatherandhisteenage[grand]son--attendedtheUnitedMethodistChurchoftheResurrection,whichisledbyourfriendReverendAdamHamilton.Someofyoumayknowthatduringmyinauguration,ReverendHamiltondeliveredthesermonattheprayerserviceattheNationalCathedral.AndIwasgratefulforhispresenceandhiswords.Hejoinedusatourbreakfastlastyear.AndattheEasterserviceforPalmSundaylastnight,hehadtobreakthisterriblenewstohiscongregation.
Thatthisoccurrednow--asJewswerepreparingtocelebratePassover,asChristianswereobservingPalmSunday--makesthistragedyallthemorepainful.Andtoday,asPassoverbegins,we'reseeinganumberofsynagoguesandJewishcommunitycenterstakeaddedsecurityprecautions.Nobodyshouldhavetoworryabouttheirsecuritywhengatheringwiththeirfellowbelievers.Nooneshouldeverhavetofearfortheirsafetywhentheygotopray.
Andasagovernment,we'regoingtoprovidewhateverassistanceisneededtosupporttheinvestigation.AsAmericans,wenotonlyneedtoopenourheartstothefamiliesofthevictims,we'vegottostandunitedagainstthiskindofterribleviolence,whichhasnoplaceinoursociety.Andwehavetokeepcomingtogetheracrossfaithstocombattheignoranceandintolerance,includinganti-Semitismthatcanleadtohatredandtoviolence,becausewe'reallchildrenofGod.We'reallmadeinHisimage,allworthyofhisloveanddignity.Andweseewhathappensaroundtheworldwhenthiskindofreligious-basedortingedviolencecanrearitsuglyhead.It'sgotnoplaceinoursociety.
SothisEasterWeek,ofcoursewerecognizethatthere'salotofpainandalotofsinandalotoftragedyinthisworld,butwe'realsooverwhelmedbythegraceofanawesomeGod.We'reremindedhowHelovesus,sodeeply,thatHegavehisonlybegottenSonsothatwemightlivethroughHim.AndintheseHolyDays,werecallallthatJesusenduredforus--thescornofthecrowdsandthepainofthecrucifixion,inourChristianreligioustraditionwecelebratethegloryoftheResurrection--allsothatwemightbeforgivenofoursinsandgrantedeverlastinglife.
Andmorethan2,000yearslater,itinspiresusstill.WearedrawntoHistimelessteachings,challengedtobeworthyofHissacrifice,toemulateasbestwecanHiseternalexampletoloveoneanotherjustasHelovesus.Andofcourse,we'realwaysremindedeachandeverydaythatwefallshortofthatexample.Andnoneofusarefreefromsin,butwelooktoHislifeandstrive,knowingthat“ifweloveoneanother,Godlivesinus,andHisloveisperfectedinus.”
I'lltellyou,IfeltthisspiritwhenIhadthegreathonorofmeetingHisHoliness,PopeFrancis,recently.Ithinkit'sfairtosaythatthoseofusoftheChristianfaith,regardlessofourdenomination,havebeentouchedandmovedbyPopeFrancis.Now,someofitishiswords--hismessageofjusticeandinclusion,especiallyforthepoorandtheoutcast.Heimploresustoseetheinherentdignityineachhumanbeing.Butit'salsohisdeeds,simpleyetprofound--huggingthehomelessman,andwashingthefeetofsomebodywhonormallyordinaryfolkswouldjustpassbyonthestreet.Heremindsusthatallofus,nomatterwhatourstation,haveanobligationtoliverighteously,andthatweallhaveanobligationtolivehumbly.Becausethat's,infact,theexamplethatweprofesstofollow.
SoIhadawonderfulconversationwithPopeFrancis,mostlyabouttheimperativesofaddressingpovertyandinequality.AndIinvitedhimtocometotheUnitedStates,andIsincerelyhopehewill.Whenweexchangedgiftshegavemeacopyofhisinspiringwritings,“TheJoyoftheGospel.”Andthereisapassagethatspeakstoustoday:
