Katie Couric mourns with our country


Thank you, Katie Couric, for your very important show honoring the families who have been affected by Friday’s tragedy along with others who have also suffered such painful loss. Your show today is important. For those who long for comfort and solace, I believe hope can be found in prayer-filled faith and spiritual wisdom first and foremost. I’m a wife and mother of two little ones. But before any of these roles, I am a Christ-following woman. Although I have never suffered this kind of loss, I believe that in God alone, I can find a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Your guests today are living proof that the God I honor and serve is one of forgiving grace and mercy. It is hard to fathom how a parent who has lost their innocent baby so violently does not feel anger towards the deeply disturbed man who killed their beloved. But in their unshakeable faith in Christ their Savior, the parents on today's show feel compassion for a soul so lost in despairing darkness. Thank you, Katie, for giving a voice and stage to these families mourning the loss of their little ones. Those parents have inspired me to look at my own faith and to know that when even in the darkest moments, my faith, my hope, and love for others will heal even the most unbearable pain. I am now a loyal viewer of your show. God bless you, Katie. God bless everyone that has been affected by this national tragedy. God bless America in this time of mourning.
