Requiem


On one day each month we celebrate the Office and Mass for the Dead, praying for our relatives, friends, benefactors and brethren who have died. Now with so much tragedy, so many senseless killings, our hearts are full and this morning we remembered as well all the recent victims of violence in Orlando, Nice, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Turkey. Unfortunately the list goes on and on. So many broken hearts, so many grieving. We stand in prayerful solidarity with them all, as we trust in the Lord Jesus who promises us eternal life.
