Today I am lighting a candle and praying for peace.
Today I pray for the repose of those who died, may they find eternal rest.
Today I pray for the families and friends who are still grieving their losses, that they may be consoled.
Today I pray for our law enforcement officials, that they may be ever vigilant and may prevent future attacks from occurring.
Today I pray for those who plan to carry out terrorist attacks, that grace may touch them and forestall their hands.
Today I am imploring The Queen of Heaven and Queen of Peace, under her title of the Immaculate Conception patroness of our country, to pray for us all.
Thank you. I needed that reminder right now. It’s hard to get perspective on trials in the midst of them.
