THEY WERE PRAYING.
They were sitting in pews.
Heads bowed, the littlest legs dangling.
Precious hands fidgeting with nerves and excitement and energy.
It was the first week back, the first mass of the school year.
Bullets shattering the stained glass window panes,
Raining down on them.
On CHILDREN.
OUR CHILDREN.
We have lost our soul, America.
THEY
WERE
PRAYING.
Pray for Father Dennis Zehren of the Annunciation Church. He will be tested by God in the comings days, month, and weeks.
Lord, help him to shepherd his flock in your Holy Name.
