“We should all remember in our prayers those who are being treated in hospital and the souls of those who have died,” Archbishop Costelloe said.
“We pray for the family and friends of those who lost their lives or were injured.
“And we pay tribute to the police, paramedics, store staff and shoppers who showed courage and compassion in the face of traumatic circumstances.”
Archbishop Costelloe urged anyone impacted by the attack to reach out and seek support.
“May those who mourn know the consolation and comfort of God’s love.”

Even fine young men slip up in their passion with good intentions. SEEK God quickly in prayer to find courage to make amends with Jesus. Recall the disciple who struck the guard at Gethsemane and Jesus caring response.
