Lk23: 1-49 Passion and death Part 2

Dear Lord,

I know you were an innocent man, yet you accepted your fate as divinely inspired.

Help em to have the faith to accept my fate and the fate of the ones I love.

Please bless Jon Tripp and receive him into heaven. Receive him into your care and heal his spirit with your power and grace.

Please help Jan, Marilyn, Catherine, Jon's wife and step daughter as they try to understand the reasons behind his suicide. Lord, give them comfort - I don't know how, but give them comfort. Let his death not be in vain, as I believe that no death is in vain.

Is abortion death? I don't know. I know it feels like death on some levels and not as much on others. I know the point is, is that no life or death exists without a purpose and meaning, and it seems like that purpose and meaning is to glorify you God, in some way. i may not know what that way is, but I must have the faith to believe that there is a reason why things happen. Although I don't know the reason, i believe that it exists, and that is the essence of my faith. The belief.

My I believe in you, love you, love myself, and love others.

Amen.
