A Catholic priest who gave the benediction at former President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday reportedly prayed for his safety–and urged Americans at the rally to do so too–just moments before the attempted assassination.
Father Jason Charron, a Ukranian Catholic pastor, had given a benediction prior to the former president’s rally on Saturday. As he was trying to leave, a group of 15 to 20 people reportedly called him over to a barricade within the rally asking that he pray.
“I said to them: I prayed for him and his safety, but that they have to pray, as well, because there are people who want to kill him,” Charron told the Catholic News Agency (CNA). “And little did I think — literally a few minutes later there was this kind of indistinct sound, and people began leaving, and at that point I heard someone saying that that was a gunshot.”
Charron said he briefly spoke with the former president before the rally. The campaign had contacted him a few days prior to give a benediction.
“I spoke with him regarding the situation in Ukraine and shook his hand. It wasn’t a very in-depth conversation,” Charron said.
Charron told Pints with Aquinas that he prayed a prayer of protection for the former president.
“My prayer was one of protection. My prayer there was for the restoration of right relationships in our society — relationships at the individual level, at the familial level, at the societal level, such that our nation would be made great again in God’s sight. And our nation be made great again, I said, that our world be made great again, in God’s sight,” Charron said.

If God protected you, DJT, as you claim, then you in turn owe him everything (as if you didn’t already) and in a position of leadership must protect and advance the Kingship of His Son.
Adding to the previous criminal attacks against avowedly anti-globalist political leaders, is now this terrible attempt to eliminate President Donald J. Trump, the leading opponent of the radical globalist Left.We are deeply grateful to Our Lord who saved this brave warrior, who did not lack the strength to stand up and invite his supporters to fight.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán have escaped similar criminal attacks. Their staunch opposition to the New World Order and their defense of national sovereignty unite them with President Trump.
The subversive diabolical power of the international deep state is evident, is there for all to see. Its crimes against God and humanity can no longer be hidden. I urge all Catholics, American patriots and people of good will to pray to Our Lord in this time of great threat looming over the world. I express to President Trump and his family my spiritual closeness, assuring them of my prayers.
+ Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop
