Holy Father, your holy presence and gracious healing hand please be with so many in this community and nation who are so broken this night. Comfort and strengthen the first responders, the pastors, the school administrators and teachers who will be your physical presence in this community. Receive into your care the innocent who are victims of this tragedy. Let each of us learn how our words and actions impact others and how we might be a voice of love in the ears of those who might think in violent ways. As Christmas approaches let us keep these families in our prayers. Amen.
It’s difficult to imagine the loss and pain felt by so many families tonight.
Hug your family members and tell them you love them. Say it often.
Once when I was a child, an elderly nun told me that when a child dies they go straight to Heaven.
I have carried those words with me my whole life.
God bless you and your family. Pray for the families of Newtown, Connecticut.
