Heavenly Father, the sudden and tragic death of Police Officer Lewis "Andy" Traylor, of the Austin TX Police Department, has filled his family’s eyes with tears and their hearts with sorrow. We are distressed by the mysteries of Your providence. As Your child we want so much to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” but at times we find it difficult to do. Forgive us and help us. We pray by Your Holy Spirit, to accept Your ways as always best. Apply to these wounded hearts the healing touch of our precious promises, and let them soon experience its power. Teach us not to mourn as those who have no hope. Wipe away the tears from our eyes that we may be able to see through the mist, beyond death and grave, to the Resurrection and Life assured by the glorious victory of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, over death and the grave. May the passing of Police Officer Lewis "Andy" Traylor remind us that we, too, are but pilgrims and strangers on earth. Grant us the grace to love less and less the things that are material and temporal, and to love more and more the things that are spiritual and eternal. Teach us to number our days and to apply our heart to the wisdom taught by Jesus Christ, that He is the Way and the Truth and the Life, and that no one comes to You but by Him. In Your Mighty and Holy Name, I pray. Amen.

I did not know Andy very well. But he left his mark. I texted him in September in light of the recent events I told him I was praying for him. He said he appreciated it and thanked me. That was the last time I talked to him. My prayers go out to his wife and kids.
