The Mizen Family: A Call to Conversion – relevant to anti-life vote mentioned on other side Barry Mizen, the Catholic father of Jimmy, a 16 year-old altar server stabbed to death at a bakery near his home on 10th May said warned against demands for new laws as a reaction to his son's killing. At his funeral a week ago he said: "It does not have to be like this. Perhaps we all need to look to ourselves and look to the values we would like and our responses to situations in our life. Sometimes we might be drawn into certain ways of our living. It is our choice but change has got to come from all of us."
Jimmy’s mother Margaret said "Anger breeds anger and bitterness, and bitterness will destroy my family if I'm not careful - and I won't allow that to happen," she said, referring to her husband and eight other children. "I don't feel bitterness towards the parents because we're not in control of everything our children do." From Independent Catholic News
