pray for victims, pray for killers as well

obviously, none of us cant just remained unaffected by the senseless and merciless killing of the RCBC tragedy. definitely, this incident, went beyond the usual police crime story.

my heart bleeds for the families and loved ones of the victims, and the only consolation we could only think of, was that, death must have become their ally for escaping briefly the hell they had to go through before the summary killings. my prayers go with them to find peace even there is so much injustices that, not just their kins have to face, but all of us still living, and wondering whether will it be our turn next.

thing is, if the killers could continually escape the police and government authorities , there is one greater one they can never run from to. maybe, we would hear prayers asking for vengence, but i suggest more that we pray that may God touch the hearts and minds of these killers/robbers, that they may experience guilt that will never leave them at peace. once God's hands are on them, they will never be able to escape that. He is everywhere, and there is nowhere they can hide from Him. let their own conscience, long numb and cold, be revived by God so that on their own, they face the consequences of their actions. ideal, but i believe in the power and might of God, in desperate times like these.
