Once again, a city has been attacked and once again, people have been killed. Not a month after the terrible tragedy of the Orlando shooting, now France has once again been attacked, this time by shooters in Nice during the Bastille Day celebration.
First there was the Orlando shootings, the worst mass shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history, and then there was another mass shooting, this time in the Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Before we could recover from the shock of these two terrible events, then a sniper in my own home-state shot and killed our police officers.
Now this. One shocking, terrible, sad attack after another. Everyone is on edge, wondering where they will strike next, and when. Nothing like this has happened before in our times and not only are we afraid, but angry.
What's going on with our world?
If there was ever a time for prayer, it would be now.
To everyone involved in these shootings, we're praying for you and for your families and the loved ones you lost. We're devastated for your losses and we weep with you and pray with you as we pray for you and for them.
Eternal rest grant unto them, Oh Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of the Faithful departed
through the mercy of God
Rest in peace, Amen.
