LETTER FROM BISHOP ROB O'NEILL OF THE DIOCESE OF COLORADO

From the Rt. Rev. Rob O'Neill of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado:

For now I write particularly to ask your prayers for those who are most directly affected by these shootings—those who are wounded, those who have died, emergency responders, medical and law enforcement personnel, and your colleagues and communities who are providing immediate pastoral care. The greatest gift we have to offer one another is indeed our collective prayer—not merely kind wishes, not simply good intentions, but deep prayer—the ability to hold, tangibly and intentionally, others in that abundant love that flows freely and gracefully within us and among us. This has substance. This has weight and heft. For it is the source of deep healing and lasting transformation

Please make this your intentional practice, and please invite others to join you in doing the same today and in the days ahead.

Deep peace and many blessings be with you.

Faithfully,

Bishop O'Neill

H/T to Ann Fontaine at The Lead.
