Families mourn those lost
in EgyptAir crash
NEWPORT, R.I. - Relatives of the victims of EgyptAir Flight 990 gathered Sunday to bid a wrenching farewell to their loved ones, as the Navy received reinforcements in its search for the airplane's ''black boxes.'' Leaders from the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths were called upon to offer prayers at an afternoon memorial service in Brenton Point State Park, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. At sea, a civilian ship equipped with a newer, remote control submersible robot headed out to the area off the island of Nantucket where the Boeing 767 plummeted into the sea Oct. 31 from 33,000 feet, killing 217 people. At the same time, the Navy's USS Grapple, the floating base for the robot Deep Drone that already has been at work amid the sunken wreckage, headed back into port for refueling. Deep Drone worked on the ocean bottom for 10 hours Saturday but had to be brought back to the surface after the sea became too rough.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I do pray for the victims' families-Lord that You would comfort them in their grief. All three faiths worship the God of Abraham. Lord the Jewish and Islamic faiths believe that we Christians worship Jesus the man, and therefore sin against God, by worshiping Jesus a man. God,, Christians believe that it is only by the blood of Jesus that mankind can be saved.

Lord how is it possible that we can all worship You, the God of Abraham, and yet be so far apart, for You have said that there is a chasm between mankind and You that no man shall cross unless under the blood of Jesus.

Lord, I know you love all men with the same love You have loved me. It is not your desire to see that any are lost. Lord give Christians , your very own, the world over the heart and the desire to reach out to those surviving relatives, that they will not grow hard against you nor war against you, nor persecute you. But Lord give us the desire to reach out to You and to bombard Heaven's throne with prayers for these families, let the sun not set on an finished prayers for these families until the return of Jesus, Your beloved Son......In Christ name I pray. Amen.
