As we mourn the loss of human life again and again and again---so soon after so many other lives have been cut short, with so many families impacted; it is so hard to get our heads and hearts around all of it. The most any of us can do is to weep and pray. So, we weep, mourn, and pray:
“God of compassion, you watch our ways, and weave out of terrible happenings
wonders of goodness and grace.
Surround those who have been shaken by tragedy with a sense of your present love,
and hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief, may they find you and be comforted;
through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives and rules this world with you. Amen”
