The pain of families in Uvalde is our own. We need to pray passionately for them and...
William Luther, Staff
There are no words to adequately convey the deep sadness and sorrow, and overwhelming shock at the incomprehensible loss of life of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School at the hands of a young gunman. The word “tragedy” doesn’t begin to describe what occurred. After he rises from the dead, Jesus does not return to take revenge on those who murdered or abandoned him. His first greeting to his disciples is: “Peace be with you.” He gave his life for us by dying on the cross to give us the fullness of life. Thanks to him, we are a people of life. He allows us to deeply embrace the pain as we go through it and enables us to comfort with hope those who mourn. He strengthens us in times of trial. For God, no life is lost.
Jesus reveals to us that our faith and our love are inseparable from our hope, and he opens for us a brighter horizon. The hope of who we are called to be will always overpower our imagination. Our faith allows us to trust that our children in Uvalde who left us already experience endless joy.Jesus wants to continue to make himself present to the world through the new life given to his community. We are called to console, to make God present in the world, to be peacemakers.
