In the final assessment, the crash of this passenger aircraft is a reminder that every life is an entire world. Onboard that plane were 244 individual stories—dreams, fears, accomplishments, and relationships—that have been abruptly interrupted. As we wait for the final details to emerge and for the families to find some semblance of peace, the global community remains united in a spirit of compassion. We pray for the departed, that they may find eternal rest, and we pray for the living, that they may find the strength to endure the unendurable. May this tragedy serve as a call to hold our loved ones a little closer and to never take for granted the simple, profound gift of a safe return home.
