Lord our God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Detective Joseph Azcona, of the Newark NJ Police Division, was suddenly and violently taken from us; Shot & Killed in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and comrades by the power and protection of the cross. I ask this through Christ Jesus, our Lord, and by His Holy Name and Authority, I pray. Amen.
