Prayers....


Oh Lord, Have mercy on the soul of George Tiller.  Please forgive him his sins.  He lived in a world that calls good evil and evil good.  Surely, he did not realize the full horror of what he was doing.  Lord, please do not hold it against him.  Please grant him salvation.

Oh Lord, please console his family and loved ones.  May they turn to you, the source of all love, in their terrible grief.  Please heal in them the wounds of this trauma and bring them all safely to eternal life.

Lord, have mercy on the person who committed this terrible crime.  Whatever the motive, this person was deeply confused about right and wrong.  Please bring him to true repentance and may George Tiller's family come to be able to forgive him.

Lord have mercy on us all.  Please grant us peace....

Beautiful prayer, Rosemary. Indeed, let us pray for the repose of Dr. Tiller's soul and for the consolation of his family and friends.
Let us also pray for the man who was arrested in connection with this shooting.
Also, let us remember the 228 people on board that missing Air France airplane. May God hold these people safely in the palm of His Hand.
