I hope people do pray. That's a good way to use twitter to remind people to do that in times of tragedy like this. 🙁
Such a tragedy, praying for all of those impacted and involved.
Praying for those hurt, but also for the ones who caused the hurt.
The only thing the rest of us can do is pray. Pray for healing, pray for answers, pray for our leaders, pray for the decisions this country has to make.
Also remember to say a prayer to THANK those who rushed to the aide of those who were injured and traumatized. It's very unfortunate that tragedies like this happen, but behind every evil person, is an enormous crowd of people who offer compassion. Thank you to all who responded to the scene and put their lives in danger to save others.
Also praying for Boston. So sad.
Prayong for EVERYONE that was involved!
So sad. So shocking.
Absolutely terrifying, thoughts and condolences go out to those on scene. #prayforboston
