For Sandy Hook Elementary School

[john78]

May God send out his endless love and mercy and may it be just as overwhelming in comfort to those who have lost loved ones in Newtown, Conn. May Sandy Hook Elementary School, be blessed and shine again and be a safe place once more forever for every student , teacher, and parent.

And may politicians stop using this time to promote their own agenda and give people the time they need to heal.

I agree with the sentiment, but these issues really are political too. Our collective morals and application of those morals through law and public policy are the definition of politics. My political view, informed by my faith and the teachings of the Church is at the core of this issue. On one side, guns have a very high lethality, unlike clubs or even knives. Guns allow anyone to kill quickly and repeatedly. I respect anyone who argues that fact. On the other side, a culture in love with death spawning killers is hardly surprising. A politician weeping over a few murdered children, but crowing over the right to slaughter millions is a sick joke. These are political issues because both sides see future tragedies based on the outcomes. My personal feeling is that a culture in love with death is the true issue, but the personal has become political.

My prayers goes to everybody who are coping with this… the officers, the children’s parents and everybody who is sad over the fact of this matter. I think that would include everybody. Have a wonderful day everybody.

Mother Mary, I commend the teachers and students of this school to you. Please protect them under your mantle and help them to heal. Amen.

Please pray for the first responders as well. My cousin was one of the first on the scene and it was so horrible. . . no one should have to see that. They are all so shaken up and need our prayers.

Thank you

Praying for these families especially now that the funerals are over and they are left to grieve. Lord, please give them peace and comfort.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
