My Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

My soul is wrought with pain as I read of the senseless and useless deaths of our brothers and sisters slain in Orlando, Florida.

Let us pray for the repose of the souls of those who died, for the healing of those who were wounded, and for the Holy Spirit to comfort their families and friends. Pray also for this nation as we struggle to comprehend such hatred and anger.

God be with as in this dark hour that we may anticipate the sunrise and peace.

Blessings,
