Today as we wake up to the news of horrific attacks on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, may we take time to pause:
to pray for those who have tragically lost their lives and for their families and loved ones;
to reflect on the roots of fear and hatred that lead to acts of such hideous violence;
to examine our own hearts.
Let us pause before God.
