Demons

Jesus knew something about people with demons.

Mental illness makes people do unspeakable things. And so today we find ourselves praying for healing, comfort, the destruction of demons. May God hold the victims' families together in these terrible days.

Art is A Corridor in the Asylum by Vincent Van Gogh (1889).

I cannot imagine the grief those families are going through.

And hard as it is to fathom, prayers are also needed for the soul of the young man who caused this tragedy and his family. Those are the hardest prayers.
