With all of the violence in the world, faith leaders are promoting love, among them Bishop Michael Curry of The Episcopal Church.
While many recall his powerful sermon for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, he has a message that resonates, especially in the city where he grew up as a child.
Curry, was raised in Buffalo, New York and graduated from Hutch Tech. He did an interview with Channel 2's Claudine Ewing, just four days before the mass shooting. He discussed why the world needs love.
"My sister, we have got to do it," he said.
When asked why we have to tell people that Love is the Way, the title of his book, he said, "I think on some level we do understand and on another level, we're not sure it works. Can love really work in a tough, hard bitten world like this, of hard bitten economics, business and politics can it work in a world of difficult interpersonal and personal relationships? Our world is on the edge of war in Ukraine. And people of Ukraine is simply trying to be free."
He said the opposite of love is selfishness and that he said "is the most destructive force and power in the world."
"It's selfishness that is behind bigotry, racism, hatred, homophobia. It is selfishness that is behind any person putting down another person so they can puff themselves up," he said.
