Lord, today
we pray about the deadly shooting in San José el Mirador,
Puebla, Mexico. Lord, 11 dead—all from one family! What a sad, sad day
for this small, remote community! And when we heard that the killings may have
been religiously motivated, we were even more deeply grieved. Lord, we pray
against these divisions and competitions between Catholics and Protestants in
these remote communities. We pray the groups will recognize their commonality
in Jesus. We pray for fairness in land, water and other rights that are
connected to community membership and influenced by religious affiliation. Lord,
we pray for the two wounded children who survived this attack. Please help them
receive the best possible care and to not only recover from their physical
wounds, but also their emotional and mental wounds. We also pray for the
witnesses who survived the attacks. Please protect them for their own good and
so they can provide the much-needed help in tracking down the killers. We pray
for truth to come out about who committed these atrocious acts, as well as
their motives. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
