Heavenly Father, Lord our God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our brother, Detective Allan Reddins, of the Oak Park Police Department, was suddenly and violently taken from us; Shot & Killed in the "Line-of-Duty". Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the cross. In the mighty and holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.
