In Defense of Praying After Tragedy
Those who denigrate prayer after mass shootings reveal their own ignorance.
On Wednesday, a man fired more than 100 rounds into a Catholic church in Minneapolis. He was targeting students attending a back-to-school Mass. Tragically, he killed two children and injured 18 others. He then killed himself.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rushed to the scene and promptly criticized Christians.
“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now,” he said. “These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.”
