Mass Tragedy  (Vol 4 No 105)


When tragedy has swamped our lives,

When memories drain our soul,

When emptiness fills every day

We may lose self-control.

 

When fear with spite lurks at each door,

If hate is on display,

If violence leads us to revenge

We then have lost our way.

 

God is immersed in all our pain

And changed by what we feel;

Yet in another’s caring love

God ministers to heal.

 

May I release this God of love

To work the works of grace;

May I extend the olive branch

Of peace to every race.
