IN MEMORY OF PATROLMAN ADRIAN ARELLANO

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Patrolman Adrian Arellano:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some thirty police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of El Paso, Texas. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Patrolman Adrian Arellano, of the El Paso, Texas, Police Department; who was killed in the line-of-duty on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, when his police motorcycle collided with another vehicle at the intersection of North Yarbrough Drive and Edgemere Boulevard in El Paso, Texas, while escorting a funeral procession through the intersection. The driver of the struck vehicle failed to stop, when directed to do so by a traffic officer, before entering the intersection prior to this fatal traffic collision.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Patrolman Adrian Arellano. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Patrolman Adrian Arellano and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of El Paso, Texas, help them to faithfully equip their police officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of El Paso, Texas, to remember to pay their police officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of El Paso, Texas, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Patrolman Adrian Arellano go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths.

Now, Patrolman Adrian Arellano, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.

In His Service,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
