The Guatemalan teenager gave the priest her name: Serenidad.
“She could communicate only through her eyes and with her fingers, and she tried to speak but I couldn’t understand her,” he recalled. “What I wish for people is to foster a culture of life because there are so many signs of a culture of death,” he told the Tribune. “What happened was an example of a culture of death. What happened in Uvalde, that’s a sign of a culture of death.”
