The Rt. Rev. David Reed, Bishop of West Texas, offers a reflection and call to prayer in response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Tx.
Bishop Reed shares, "Because I believe in eternal life, I trust that the senseless murder of these innocent children is not the final thing to be said about them. If the Gospel is true, it is true in all times and in all places, including in Uvalde tonight. If God is with us, then he is with us even in those times and places where it seems that death and darkness have prevailed."
Amen. Today we will ring our church bells 19 times at 12 Noon. On this Ascension Day, may our prayers ascend to the One who wipes away all tears.
