In the last few months, tragedy had followed tragedy in such rapid succession that the American flags are now almost always at half mast. I don't see an end to this any time soon, I think it may be years, maybe decades, before this chaos and disorder resolves itself and things go back to some semblance of normality.
What this nation needs now is a return to God. I won't be sectarian here and say which God. Catholics should return to the Catholic God, Protestants should return to the Protestant God, and Jews should return to the Jewish God.
Only through return to God, a return to regular church or synagogue service, a return to prayer, a return to obedience to the Ten Commandments, a return to service to others, a return to fasting and self-denial, can we save our world now.
Otherwise the spiritual sickness that has infected our world will continue to fester, and we will see things escalate.
Pray for the victims of violence, and pray for their families and loved ones.
But also pray for the aggressors, for they need our prayers even more.
Pray for those with hate in their hearts, and pray for those who believe that violence is the answer to the world's problems.
Only through prayer can we heal what is broken in our world.
