Please pray for the people in and around the Virginia Tech campus.
Update: 17 students are at the hospital with many in surgery. One student has been killed. An elderly (Fox News' word) teacher has also been shot. One gunman has been apprehended, but the police are looking for another. I am close to this area, though not in the same town as VT, and I keep hearing sirens heading down I-81. And I'm about an hour away from VT.
Pray to the guardian angels of the students, ask the guardian angel(s) of the shooter(s) to nudge them to turn themselves in and stop hurting people. Pray to God that the students and faculty and staff remain safe.
Update #2: 20 have died. Fox News has more.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.
Amen.
*********************************
Most Merciful Jesus, lover of souls,
I pray You, by the agony of Your most Sacred Heart,
and by the sorrows of Your Immaculate Mother,
to wash in Your Most Precious Blood,
the sinners of the world who are now in their agony,
and who will die today.
Heart of Jesus, once in agony,
have mercy on the dying.
Amen.

I remembered your post from last August when the inmate had escaped near VT and wondered how things were near you. I think everyone in Virginia is glued to a TV or the Internet right now to learn more.
