 Greetings, families and friends of All Saints,
Even as we are still in Eastertide, we have been reminded several times in the last two weeks that we still live in dangerous times. As such, I’d like to share excerpts of a Litany in the Wake of a Mass Shooting from “Bishops Against Gun Violence”, as shared by Bishop Doug Sparks of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana. Let us pray… God of peace, we remember all those who have died in incidents of mass gun violence in this nation’s public and private places… Eleven dead in Sacramento, California; Ten dead at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York; Twenty-one dead at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Give to the departed eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them … For survivors of gun violence. Grant them comfort and healing. Hear us, Lord. For those who have lost loved ones to gun violence. Grant them peace. Hear us, Lord. For those first responders who care for victims of gun violence. Protect and strengthen them. Hear us, Lord. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. FAMILY FUN NIGHTS: TONIGHT, we are continuing our Family Fun Nights for the month of May.
