What a tragic loss for us all. He was a man of prayer. He was an advocate for the poorest among us. He longed for the Lord’s justice, within His peace. Please keep him and his family and the assailant.

If you set your heart aright and stretch out your hands toward him, if you remove all iniquity from your conduct, and let not injustice dwell in your tent, surely, then you may lift up your face in innocence; you may stand firm and unafraid (Job 11. 13-15). The Way of Life, Jesus

The Apostle Paul calls us to pray without ceasing (1 The 5.16-19). Along with liturgical prayer and communal prayer, there is another interior kind of prayer, namely, the desire of the heart. God hears the anguish of the heart, the longing of the heart. Love answers the longing.
