Reflections for Police Officer Ella Grace French
We must come together and stand against this attack, occurring on our brothers and sisters. Each and every one of us know we are going to need to work on our off time to back up one another. If the criminal element is shown that no we are not going to just set by and watch the good guys and girls be slaughtered let’s help one another if they’re is going to be six to eight officers ready to take the criminal element out. We can help.

Officer French... I only met you once and that was enough to know you were a wonderful human being and a great officer. May God rest your soul and give comfort to your family. My deepest condolences to your immediate family and your CPD family also. You are gone far too soon. God now has one more angel to patrol the streets of heaven. We'll hold the line from here.

Heavenly Father, the sudden and tragic death of Police Officer Ella French, of the Chicago IL Police Department, in the Line-of-Duty has filled her family’s, friends, and colleagues 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 Your 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 Ella French 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.
