Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

God have mercy on the souls of those poor students! This is just awful!

Why would they lift the lockdown before catching the gunman?!

We are very close here....if you know anybody who has a child at Tech who needs a place to go, PM me and we'll go get them....our home is open and our church will do whatever is needed as well.

Praying and offering our day for all involved.

My bil's brother is there....still waiting to hear if he's okay from the second shooting.

Praying...it's just awful, especially for victims who are so far from their loved ones.

Friends of ours have a dd there, and my son knows of many students from his high school who attend there. Ds is actually waiting on his financial aid package from them, he's already been accepted.

We are keeping watch and praying hard here........

My BIL wisely stayed home at his apartment from classes today, after he heard about the first incident. He is an engineering major, and I'm so glad he listened to his angel!

We are praying here!

The death toll is now 31.

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

How could it have gone on for so long?! My Dh just called to tell me about it, I didn't know.

Hugging the children tighter... Praying...

Please add prayers of thanksgiving for the generosity of the community. The dining halls have been closed down and the local restaurants have been very generous. We are heading out now to pick up 50 pizzas to bring to the Newman House.
