We all suffer when we hear of news like what happened in Virginia. We all die a little when we hear of the senseless death of others. And we all ask God why this wasn’t stopped, why we don’t live in a perfect world. It may be difficult to see now but God has a plan for us. To save us from these types of tragedies. And God’s plan is us. We are to be the ones out front offering care and comfort. We are the ones who, with love and compassion, offer council to the sick of body and of mind. We are called to a holy purpose to be agents to those in need.
In the days to come blame will descend like a hawk on all those involved. The school, police, and even some fellow students will not escape summery judgment. They will be tried in court of opinion in front of us all. But we should take no part in it. We already know all we need to know. From here we must trust in God that the right people will learn what needs to be learned and not misplace our anger on whomever the media chooses to dangle before us. They will descend like wolves but it is for us to stand with the sheep, stand with those in pain.
