Boston: prayers for healing and justice

(Vatican Radio) The FBI has released photographs of two men it says it wants to interview in connection with Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon. Taken from cellphone pictures and closed circuit videotape, the images show the men striding down Boylston Street in the center of Boston, each carrying a backpack that the authorities say may have contained the explosive devices used to kill three people and injure more than 170 others. The FBI is asking the public to help find the men, even as the Bureau warns that they should be considered highly dangerous. US President Barack Obama has promised to bring those responsible for Monday's bombings in Boston to justice, at a memorial service in the city. Listen:
Speaking at an interfaith memorial service attended by the President on Thursday, the Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Sean O’Malley, said, “In the face of the present tragedy, we must ask ourselves what kind of a community do we want to be, what are the ideals that we want to pass on to the next generation,” answering, “It cannot be violence, hatred and fear.” Cardinal O’Malley went on to describe the attack and its aftermath as, “[A] challenge and an opportunity for us to work together with a renewed spirit of determination and solidarity and with the firm conviction that love is stronger than death.”
