8 Ways Christian Celebrities Are Praying in the Wake of Multiple Mass Shootings

By Katherine Harrington, Contributing Writer

When tragedy strikes, Christian hearts turn toward the Father, crying out on behalf of victims, wondering where God is in the midst of tragedy.

This weekend, gunmen attacked in two cities. First in El Paso, with over 22 people shot to death at a Walmart.

Second, in Dayton, Ohio, where a gunman murdered nine people who were enjoying the nightlife.

Here are some of the responses of prayer as we seek to not become desensitized to massacres.

In light of the terrible shootings that have taken place around our country the last 48 hours, may we all take a moment to pray for both those affected and our country. Pray for #America.

So many people to pray for at Mass this morning:
“Put to death…immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, the greed that is idolatry. Stop lying to one another…Here there is not Greek/Jew,barbarian/Scythian, slave/free; but Christ is all and in all.

In the face of evil and tragedy be not weary in well doing. Never cease to be moved by the suffering of others.

Mourn with those who mourn.

Praying with a broken heart this morning for both cities and the lives affected by these shootings. This is senseless and devastating. Praying for the families dealing with loss and injury and praying wisdom for those in the position to make change to keep these things from happening. Jesus, help us all. #prayforElPaso #prayforDayton
