Prayer
Dear God,
We come to You with broken hearts, surrendering the catastrophe that has occurred today in Connecticut. We cannot comprehend the darkness that led to this, or the suffering of those who have loved and lost. They are both too big. But in You, dear God, there are Answers we cannot surmise and Light we cannot summon by ourselves. We present to you our brokenness, and the horror and pain of those who grieve. May those who died find joy in the immortal realms. May those who mourn them be comforted in this hour of their agony. And may our prayers and actions be guided by You, dear God, to create a world where this occurs no more. Amen

The pain from this dark act is incomprehensible. And, almost as incomprehensible to me, though I am a believer, is that our prayers will ease such loss.
I do not understand the depths of a tortured mind that would take the lives of anyone, even little ones.
Still, my compassion and prayers are all I have to offer. Thank you Vickie for this memorial prayer.
