On Friday, November 13, 2015, Our world was once again disrupted and disturbed by senseless acts of violence and images of fear. Some of our brothers and sisters across the ocean were lost. The people of Paris and France, as well as other cities around the world were attacked. It’s time to pray for humanity. It is time to make all places beloved.
