It is extremely sad. No word can express this tragedy in so many aspects.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son and Word of the Living God, have much mercy upon the souls departed from this world, forgive them, Lord, forgive them and rest them in Your healing peace, and look to the wounded, heal them, comfort all the families, parents, sisters and brothers, friends. Amin.

May the Lord God in His Mercy envelope all the victims and the families involved in this tragedy!

May He also assuage our own hurt and disbelief at the depth of this horrendous tragedy.

May God have mercy on all the departed young students, including the shooter himself, who could have been in a terrible bind!

I'm watching CNN and just saw a piece on the Reema Samaha girl. Very cute and seemingly so full of life. Prayers for her soul and her family.

Here is a link to an interview with Reema's siblings by Mat Lauer. Evidently she was very active in NAMY, the national Melkite youth group. Eternal memory!

Many of the young people hear at St. Georges are shook by it, as they were in NAMY with Reema when they were younger.
May her memory be eternal+

May they all rest where the just repose and may God's mercy and grace fall upon their families and all those on campus. May the eyes of people be open to see 'evil' and to know that only peace can come through Jesus Christ.

For the peace of those souls, especially the one of the shooter, of their parents, and of entire world, let us pray to Lord:

KYRIE ELEISON!

For the handmaiden of the Lord Reema and all those who lost their lives so tragically, everlasting memory. May the Mother of God "Joy of all who sorrow" console and intercede for the families.

Lord for the family of the shooter, that has gone into seclusion/hiding, Lord - please protect them. Jesus let them draw closer to you and grow in love of you as Lord and Saviour.

Prayers for the victims and all those affected by the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech. And prayers too for the soul of Cho Seung Hui a very disturbed young man who needs our prayers most.
