Even at a distance we can appreciate the carnage that someone thought was necessary to their cause. I wonder about folks who walk in such darkness, who have lost all sense of shared humanity and real hope. Whatever their 'reason' these are broken people, chained by their own anger, clinging to some real or imagined wounds.....we are called to pray for them. Not just as a command to be obeyed, but because, as people of faith, we know that prayer is powerful and God reigns.
Pour out your Holy Spirit O Lord upon this place of ravaged lives where the seeds of a new hatred can too easily be sown. Call all your people into prayer. Not because we know the answer and not because we believe we can turn this around, but because we trust in you and your love for a world we cannot understand. AMEN
