Tonight I Pray for Boston and the World

Tonight I Pray for Boston and the World 2013-04-15T22:22:08-04:00 Nancy Qualls-Shehata

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Not much profound to say today.  After this latest outrage, piled on top of oh-so-many outrages here and abroad, I can only pray.  Pray for Allah to bring murderers to justice wherever they are.  Pray for Allah to give comfort to the parents who have to bury a child.  Pray for those who are so misguided that they consider mass murder to be a valid political tool.  My heart goes out to the victims of the bombing in Boston.  My prayers are for all innocent victims here in the U.S. and abroad – the fighters and families in Syria, the people shopping in a market in Baghdad, the kids killed at a wedding Afghanistan, the little ones who finally succumbed to starvation in Sudan or North Korea.  Every death, whether broadcast on the news or totally unremarked, is important.
