“While it may seem impossible to find hope in a time such as this, we can draw hope from our spiritual roots, trusting that a loving God will not abandon us,” Bishop Robert Deeley of Portland (Maine) said following the Lewiston shootings, which left 18 dead and 13 injured.
“As we pray to him in our various ways, may he strengthen us and show us the way forward during the difficult days that lie ahead,” Bishop Deeley added.
