Prayers for Boston

~ AF "Tony" Branco

Dr. Bill Smith, ARRA News Service: Our prayers are with the people of Boston and with all of the visitors to Boston who were affected by the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Unfortunately, we note with this tragedy a double standard with the way previous domestic terrorists, former members of the Weather Underground Organization (i.e., Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and others) who incited terrorist act in America, bombed American buildings and killed Americans, have been revered and become honored friends of those in highest office verses being repulsed by society and our leadership. However, I am trusting along with other Americans that law enforcement will sort out the truth and hopefully catch and punish the perpetrators of this action.

A few comments by others.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Boston Marathon explosion victims and their families. Thanks to the police, fire fighters, and other public servants courageously responding to the dangerous scene. ~ Heritage Foundation President and former Senator Jim DeMint

More importantly, we should show our love and support for the victims of this cowardly act. For now, we should all stand with Boston.  We should all show the world that today we will get up unafraid, and America will step forward into the day.”  ~ James Carafano, Homeland Security Expert, Heritage Foundation

Pray also for the President of the United States and his team of advisors who must now find out who did this and take action.
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NIV) ~ Erick Erickson, Restate

Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Boston, the victims of the attack and their families as they deal with this despicable act. If someone is looking for a "silver lining" in the midst of the ripped flesh and broken limbs, you can find it in the reaction of the people in the vicinity of the attack. By all accounts, law enforcement, medical personnel and ordinary citizens all rose to the occasion, providing treatment and comfort in the midst of the carnage. ~ Gary Bauer, Campaign for Working Families

"As the Lord leads, please pray: For the first responders, hospital personnel and others who are attending to the wounded. For the families who have lost loved ones, and for the injured. That investigators will rapidly discover the source or reason behind the explosions." ~ Presidential Prayer Team

“Words cannot begin to express our sorrow for the families who are grieving so suddenly right now. The House of Representatives offers its prayers to the victims and the city of Boston. We also give thanks for the professionals and Good Samaritans who prevented further loss of life. This is a terrible day for all Americans, but we will carry on in the American spirit, and come together with grace and strength.” ~ U.S. House Speaker John Boehner
