You know, it's sad for me to admit that I don't know very many Christians like you who would say such a thing about Muslims or about other people of different religions. It has been my personal experience over the years that Christians like you are very few and far between. It seems like when I'm willing to walk away from Christianity for good, I come across someone like you, a person who actually mirrors Christ and His commands in his own words, thought, and deed. You restore my confidence in my own faith and my willingness to continue to follow Christ, even when it's very difficult for me to do so.
I am sorry you are struggling with Christianity, but please. This topic is not about you. 21 people are dead. Can we get back on topic?
Father in Heaven, you make your sun shine
on good and bad alike.
Your Son Jesus Christ died for us all
and in his glorious Resurrection
He still retains the five wounds of his Passion.
With his divine power he now sustains
all those who suffer persecution and martyrdom
for the sake of their fidelity
to the faith of the Church.
Merciful and mighty Father,
do not allow Cain to return again to murder
helpless Abel, innocent Abel.
May persecuted Christians around the world
remain, like Mary, their Mother,
together at the foot of the cross
of Christ the Martyr.
Comfort those menaced by violence
and those oppressed by uncertainty.
May your Holy Spirit of love
make fruitful the witness and the blood
of those who die forgiving.
Amen.
