Reflections for Detective Herbert Fonseca
Lord Jesus, as we watch America's Peace Officers bravely succumb to the wicked and evil in this broken world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension because we are a people greatly divided politically. In light of the American Peace Officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement departments and agencies. Lord Jesus, carry us through this time of reckless violence and strife, that through our struggles, trials, and tribulations, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy Name, and by Your Authority, I pray for America's murdered Peace Officers. Amen.
"No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13 CSB)
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." (Matthew 5:4 CSB)
