Memory eternal to those who were killed and may God and the Theotokos comfort their families, especially the parents of the beloved innocents who were the victims of man's inhumanity.

For the injured, physically or psychologically, may their wounds be healed and they be given peace.

I do hope that there are those who live close to the Russian Emabassy that have gone to place candles, flowers, cards, and such to show we care.

Children are a precious treasure. Each is, like all of us, a God-created one-of-a-kind original masterpiece. The loss of even one is a loss without replacement; a hole in the heart that cannot be patched.

Memory Eternal!!

May the day rapidly come when no one targets a child to further a political or social or philosophical or religious end or cause.

Lord, have mercy. Walk with the parents of the dead children and help them to deal with the hole in their hearts. Let them see that their hole in the heart is like Yours and that You understand their pain, O Master Who made Yourself like us in all things but sin. AMEN

In Christ,

BOB

This was a tragedy of great proportions.
I couldn't imagine the pain if such a thing occured in one of our elementary schools...such barbarism shown to so many precious children.
I mourn with these people today as they bury their dead. Most blessed Mother of God, please help them!

I read an article yesterday where a woman was interviewed who was captive inside. The inhumanity of even providing water to the children was mind boggling. Any way, among other things, she said that they prayed, and where there were those who did not know how to pray, they taught them and prayed together.

Sorrowfully,
Alice

Holy Innocents, yes!

May God have mercy on all. Comfort for such suffering and loss, dear Savior. Strength for the days and years ahead. Healing in all the broken places. All in the Name of Jesus Christ and his Mother - Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

I just returned from signing the condolence book at the Russian Embassy.

+ Eternal memory and blessed repose to the innocent victims of terrorism.

As Our Lord taught us to pray, "deliver us from evil."

May the Lord grant to every family who is suffering from this horrible loss to feel HIS presence and HIS comfort!

I am reminded that (St.) Padre Pio was fond of saying, that: "If we understood the economy of salvation, we should seek not pleasure, but suffering!"

May the Lord rest the souls of these innocent ones in His mansions and grant them the vision of His face for all eternity!

In His Most Holy Name,
+Father Archimandrite Gregory


+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who asks for your holy prayers!
