\"Flag<\/p>\n

God,<\/p>\n

A small group of terrorists killed worshippers at a church in southern Cairo.<\/p>\n

A large mob of neighbors vandalized a different church further south.<\/p>\n

A sizeable allotment of police and military guarded churches throughout the country.<\/p>\n

A fair portion of churches remain closed for security reasons.<\/p>\n

A tiny percentage of services suffered disruption to normal worship.<\/p>\n

But God, any number is too high.<\/p>\n

And any spirit that targets faith is too evil.<\/p>\n

It is present in Egypt, God, as it is present elsewhere. It is hard to defeat.<\/p>\n

Protect those who protect the nation. In today\u2019s attack one died, as they killed one assailant and captured another.<\/p>\n

But give wisdom also to those who govern. Exorcise this spirit at its source, to purge it completely.<\/p>\n

And of those infected, heal them in your mercy.<\/p>\n

Of the recalcitrant, marginalize. Of the ideologues, expose. Of the manipulators, arrest.<\/p>\n

Strengthen the nation to resist, God. Give her courage to confront.<\/p>\n

A little leaven leavens the whole bunch. May Egypt rise.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
