School children were shot. Two died in the Catholic church. Parents who shopped for new school supplies must now decide on small caskets. Other families sit in anxious hospital chairs, not knowing if, or when, their own will be able to go to school again. Surviving children will spend years in fear....

School children were shot. Two died in the Catholic church. Parents who shopped for new school supplies must now decide on small caskets. Other families sit in anxious hospital chairs, not knowing if, or when, their own will be able to go to school again. Surviving children will spend years in fear of entering a school or church again.
We are told that a shooter tends to be a lost soul. One who lived a life of being ignored or bullied or left out. A person who missed the message that life is worth living.
Dark oaks stand against a cloudy sky. Tonight the stars in the heavens are hidden from our sight.
Two Catholic children died, children now held in God’s loving arms. For words to hold in our hearts on this day, we can listen to a Catholic monk.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi, 1181-1226
