A Prayer Upon the Death of Children

Rev. Penwell in response to Friday:

Help us to find the words to put to our rage and despair, to find the words to comfort those who need be comforted, to find the words to speak justice and peace to a world bent on filling graves with the bodies of children, to find the words necessary not to meet this violence with more violence.

And all of God's children said, "Amen."
