I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization.
As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
I have given my life so that others may live in peace.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.
You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.

An Irish Blessing

(A Blessing from St. Patrick)


May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand
RIP Officer O'Rourke.

I have done tons of reflections for officers. Everytime an officer dies my heart is saddened. The men and women of all branches of law enforcement risk their lives everyday to protect me and my 3 year old son so we can live in peace. There are not enough words to express my gratitude to all law enforcement officers out there. Rest in peace Patrick O'Rourke.

Although Officer O'Rourke gave the ultimate sacrifice in a senseless act of violence, his sacrifice was in carrying out a noble and courageous act. There is reason to know that God holds him in a special place. Excerpts from Romans 13:
"Whoever who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves. For civil authorities are not a terror to people of good conduct, but to those of bad behavior. For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, you should dread him and be afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant to bring justice to the wrongdoer."

Prayers and condolences to Officer O'Rourke's family and co-workers.
